Is it possible to read a label's text property of another app?I know how to get the handle of the main window, and i got the code for the child.But the problem is that there's like 20 other labels on the window and when i use winID to get it's class, it's just "Edit", and it's the same for all the labels. And the title is the value of the labels text property.

View 3 RepliesI've been having this problem with my program hanging up sometimes. I tracked the problem down to the following statement:
me.lblPrompt.Text = strInfoToDisplay
So I checked strInfoToDisplay and sure enough it had in there what I thought it would. So then I checked lblPrompt. I'm using the command window and just using? me.lblPrompt.Text to get the system to tell the the value. Well, guess what it does? It hangs up. I haven't been able to get the command window to tell me one time what's going on. However, I know it has to work sometimes becuase the program (from the user standpoint) doesn't always freeze up the way it does when I can't read the prompt.

View 13 RepliesMakes a long time I do that on web program(with frames...on Dreamweaver), but now, I want to do the same on my VB interface.I have a menu on the side of a form(main form) and I want, on the menuitems click events, to have the corresponding form to appear in the other part of my main form.I tried the mdicontainer stuff, either it doesnt resize correctly with my main form or it makes a title bar in the top of the child form(on maximize).

I have designed a form with a text box on it, and a command button underneath. The idea is to run this as a sort of stiky notes section.
I want the text box to read rich text into the textbox (C:\\stickynotes.rtf")
Then i have a command button underneath which i want to save the content of the rich text box to the rtf file (C:\\stickynotes.rtf). This is so that the user can edit and ammend information.

fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileReader("C:\\stickynotes.rtf")

View 6 RepliesI have several group boxes on a winform. within each there are several labels.I am accessing the group boxes with no issues but I can't seem to find a way to update the labels within by looping. They have the same name except the last character which is a number 1 - 9. ex. lbl1, lbl2 ... lbl9.I need to update the text of each label in code with text I get from a database ex. lbl1.text = one, lbl2.text = two etc... I want to loop through the labels to assign the text. Getting text from database is no issue what I am not doing properly is getting the labels.
