Feb 11, 2010My aim is to insert commands in to a console such as command prompt (except it isn't command prompt its actually a console engine for a game) and the commands will have shortcut buttons aswell which I can do my self, not a problem. My actual problem how ever is that I dont know how my vb form would recognise the process it needs to type in and how it would even find the text box to auto type the pre configured commands which I would have configured inside my form.

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 Changing Bound Data When Entering Text In ComboBox?
Aug 9, 2009I have a data-bound combobox that pulls values from a BindingList(of T). Combobox loads fine, correct values are displayed (I'm not using SelectedItem or SelectedValue). I'm using properties and connecting the data to the control via a bindingsource.
What I want is if the user types text into the combobox, I want the data from the bound table to change to that new text, i.e. edit the bound data directly.
Easy as pie to do with a textbox, but can't seem to get a combobox to work this way.
I was trying to use the validated event of the combobox to write the data to the datasource, but it doesn't fire when I press enter. Is that the way to do it? Can I not link the data to the combobox directly?

View 2 RepliesEntering Sections Of Text Into The Same Textbox Without The Other Section Of Text Disappearing?
Jul 18, 2011I am having a problem with a entering sections of text into the same textbox without the other section of text disapearing. In other words, I have several buttons with strings attached to them. When the user presses one of the buttons the string does enter into the textbox. However, when the users presses another button the string from the first button disapears while the second string enters the textbox.
For example: The following code is what I have:
button nine_click
tbxResultSource.Text = CStr(9)
'button plus_click
tbxResultSource.Text = CStr("+")

VS 2008 Combo Box Text Alignment?
Sep 14, 2009I might be coming up with a few dumb questions over the next few weeks because I am trying to push myself to learn VB 2008. So I think this is the first.I have figured out how to get a datareader to pull data from a MySQL database, pass it from a module back to my form, but when I try to put it in a combobox, the text is always left-aligned. I had never thought about this before because I think I have only ever put text in one before in VB6. However, this time it is numeric and left aligned numerics don't line up well when the numbers look like

VS 2008 Insering Text Into A Combo Box?
Apr 13, 2010I would like to ask you a question about combo boxes . I want to insert a string into a combo box , but it seems I have a problem . First of all , let me specify that this combo box is set to only accept specific strings , which populate it when the form is loaded . Assuming that the combo box is located on Form1 , when it is loaded , this code is executed :
[Code]...
What is going wrong ? Is it that the combo box can not have that value because Form1 has not been loaded yet ? If that's the case what should I do ? I guess I could call the Load sub directly from Form2 in order to load Form1 , but I wouldn't like that because with the Load event some other code will run , which I don't want it to . So , is there any way to set my desired string into the combo box ?

View 3 RepliesDisabling The Text Boxes?
Apr 28, 2010The instructions I'm following indicate that when user clicks the Add This Item menu item for a new order, the customer information should be disabled so that the state cannot be changed until the next customer.I've tried to validate that all the customer information fields are filled when user clicks Add This Item menu item. The trouble I was having was that even when you were alerted that you didn't fill one of the fields, you clicked on the message alert and then the customer fields were disabled before you could fill the empty one.
I've tried to make an if statement which checks if some are empty to alert else if they are filled then disable. This doesn't work either. I get Conversion from string "" to type 'Boolean' is not valid. I'm not advanced enough to understand this. I just know boolean means true or false or yes or no. I'm not sure the best way to handle this situation. I don't even know if locking the user out is wise since they might have wanted to correct something wrongly entered but my instructions are to validate that the fields are filled and then disable the customer information. I need to follow the instructions exactly.
This is what it looks like:
Private Sub AddThisItemToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AddThisItemToolStripMenuItem.Click

VS 2008 Disable Text Boxes Until Combo Box Choice Is Made?
May 28, 2009I currently have my cute little first program made... I'm just stepping into the water with this programming thing. I made a program where you can select a shape from a drop-down list and then input some values and click a button and get the area of the shape. I have it working so that when a certain shape is chosen, certain fields are disabled, such as when you pick "circle" from the combo box, the "length", "width", and "number of sides" text boxes are disabled but the "radius" text box is enabled, thus allowing you to enter the radius and find the area. I want to make it so that when you first load the program, all of the text boxes for the length, width, number of sides and radius are disabled until you select a shape from the list. Currently I'm using

This works for disabling the correct boxes when something is selected, but I don't know if I'm even on the right path with that first part.
