I want to make a usercontrol that I can then use on my project form, and then interact with it. (for example, get the result of a calculation that was made in the user control and then make futher calculations on my form) I basicly know how to make a Usercontrol, by not how to use the information that it derives for further use.

I would like to build an application that would allow me to interact with other programs on my computer. For example, if I were to build an application that could control iTunes, how would I go about this?
Or, I am looking to make an application that would allow me to do little things on my computer like disable my track pad if I have a mouse plugged in. How would I build something that could interact with windows (or iTunes) like that?

View 3 RepliesI have a Windows Form frmMain() holding seven more-or-less unrelated UserControls, ucFlopsy", "ucMopsy", "ucCottontail", etc...I say "more-or-less" because each of the seven UC has three similar public read/write properties:
IsLocked (a boolean indicating if the following two properties are "Locked")
IsLockedID (if IsLocked=True then IsLockedID is an integer)
IsLockedName (if IsLocked=True then IsLockedName is a string)

I have a Windows Form that contains a custom control container as a UserControl. For the sake of this question, this custom control container is called Dashboard. This container called Dashboard contains numerous other controls depending on their permissions. I need to raise events that are contained on these controls through the Dashboard control and over to the Windows Form.
How can I bubble up the event? I'm using VB.NET for this project, but can convert C# into VB.NET.Also, to complicate matters, the main Windows Form is a VB6 project. So, I'm using the InteropFormsToolkit to accomplish this.
I have two UserControls on a MasterPage. DataEntryUC contains several TextBoxes and DropDownList. NavSaveUC contains navigation buttons. When the user clicks on a navigation button, I will be saving the data entered into DataEntryUC from the NavSaveUC UserControl.
I have a couple of tables in my DB that contain stored procedure names, control names, control types, SqlDbTypes, etc.... that correlate with DataEntryUC.
How do I reference a text box that is on DataEntryUC from NavSaveUC?
I have been working on the following code from NavSaveUC with no luck.
Dim MyControlName = "txtFirstName"
Dim MyControlType = "TextBox"
Dim MyStringValue as String

I have a usercontrol that has a main form and calls another form within the usercontrol to get some data from a database that allows the user to select some items from a CheckedListBox control on the sub form. I want to pass the selected items from the CheckedListBox back to the main form and display the results there. I have a public property called DBList of type List(of String) on the main user control. If I create a reference to the usercontrol form the second form within the usercontrol I get a new instance of a user control. All I want to do is set the property on the usercontrol and close the secondary form. How do I reference the usercontrol from the form within the usercontrol?
Code in UserControl:
Public Property DBItems() As List(Of String)
Get
Return DBItems

View 1 RepliesI have a MDI parent on which i launch a child form
Dim NewMDIChild As New Frm_addOT
'Set the Parent Form of the Child window.
NewMDIChild.MdiParent = Me
'Display the new form.
NewMDIChild.Show()
His child form contains several comboboxes which hold data from a dbase(sql)
When new data is entered in the cmb it checks the database and if it isn't in there it launches another window
FRM_OTlistaddklant.Visible = True
and copy's the newly entered text in a textbox.
FRM_OTlistaddklant.TB_klantnaam.Text = OTaddklant_naam
then i can give in the details etc.
now, when this is done and the users presses a button "Add"
the information is written to sql(which works perfect)
than i have a public sub on the Frm_addOT which should refill the combobox and
also set the backcolor to a specific color.
and the last two things will not work. Actually when i try to change the backcolor on Frm_addot it triggers the event backcolorchanged and says it has changed but it is not visible.
I'm trying to start to use the Task class for multi-threading. This is a really simple example so I can work out the ins and outs. As an example, I have the below thread, the thread.sleep is used to represent large amounts of data processing, at the end of which I'd like to update something on the screen. Please advise a good way to achieve the idea of the below code with respect to the text box update.
With the old threading system, I would grab the UI context, and do a .post/.send to it. I'd like to have that ability with the newer task system, but am open to the preferred way of solving this.
As a back ground, the threads I will be replacing were previously constantly running during the app with a do/while that was killed at app close.

View 1 RepliesI am writing (and teaching myself how to write) an experimental assembly in VB.NET 3.5 that is exposed via COM and then called from some Excel VBA code to initiate an instance of a class that traps some Excel events and then perform some functions on the active workbook in Excel.To initiate the class, a reference to the Excel Application is passed from the VBA (I am using a PIA for Excel in the assembly).I needed to perform a time-consuming operation on the active workbook from my assembly so I decided to use a BackgroundWorker in a WinForm so that I can display a progress dialog for the operation whilst the operation completes in the background.
I would like to know if there are any problems with interacting with Excel via COM using a background worker in this way? Reason for asking is that the main class in the assembly holds the reference to the Excel application object, and this is then passed to the BackgroundWorker so that it can determine the active workbook and then perform some operations on it. I am only accessing the workbook itself (not other objects) through one procedure.
following error as I am unable to find a fix:Description:A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.

I have a form where the user will choose multiple clients from a subform that has a DGV.Each row has a checkbox indicating that it has been selected.When the user is finished selecting the clients, I need to store the selected clients ID Number, Name, and Program Number either in a temp table or another method to only handle about 30 records.After that part is done, I need to create a new tab for each client which has a UserControl on the tab.

I've been scouring the Net, but I can't find anything really useful on how to set a default button in a user control (everythings for ASP). I can imagine the brute force method of handling the keypress for each control within the control and checking to see if the Enter key was pressed, and if so, calling a PerformClick on my desired button... But I just have difficulty imagining that this will be the best method, especially on Search Controls that have 30-40 subControls on them. I've tried just handling the KeyPress event at the control level but it never gets called when a sub control has focus.
Another problem with the brute force method is that some of the controls within my UserControls are themselves UserControls containing several controls, so I would have to handle each sub control within the sub-user-controls and create EnterKeyPressed events that were raised when one of the sub-sub-controls received an Enter KeyPress. This could go on for several levels. Then I would need to handle all these events. This seems like an unnecessary layer of complexity.
Is there some way to create a routine that perhaps automates the above? Or just a simple workaround? I know I can set the Accept and Cancel Buttons of a form, but I have a form with a TabControl that has a UserControl on each tab. Each one of these tabs needs its own Default Button.
I have a method that is asynchronously called when System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.BeginRead completes.
skDelegate = New AsyncCallback(AddressOf skDataReceived)

In that callback method, I need to interact with the UI thread.
Sub skDataReceived(ByVal result As IAsyncResult)
CType(My.Application.OpenForms.Item("frmMain"), frmMain).refreshStats(d1, d2)

This causes an exception after the method completes. (when End Sub is executed)
