VS 2008 : Assign Ctrl+s To Automatically Save The Labels Text Once Pressed Instead Of Going Through A Menu To Choose Save?
Jan 20, 2011
so i have a quite huge program. but lets say i have one label. and i want to save that. i have the code and everything for saving the text of the label. now i want to assign ctrl+s to automatically save the labels text once pressed instead of going through a menu to choose save.this is like a regular texteditor where u press ctrl+s and it saves.
ive used this
If (e.KeyCode = e.Control & Keys.S) Then
MessageBox.Show("Ctrl+S pressed")
End If
and
[code]....
but it doesn't do anything once pressed.im also using the keydown declaration for the form.

I created a program that has serval labels on a form and a listview object. It has a button that when clicked reads a textfile and loads up values in the listview object. I then can click and drag text from the listview box to any label on the form and then the program removes the value from the listview box. Now, my question is how can I instruct VB to save these values in the text property of the labels so that the next time the program is loaded the labels will contain the values loaded during the last run time session?

I am totally new to VB and I'd like to know, for example, when a user clicks on "Print" in the menu strip on the keyboard should automatically press "Ctrl+P", because the original print dialog, and the WebBorwser print dialog is toootaly different.

we have a vb.net application with send and receive mailing also. Now we have added a session timer of 30 min but the users are complaining that they are facing a problem when they write a long text message or while composing they get busy in something else and when they return back to continue composing message , they are redirected to a session expiry page, and their long text message is gone forever. So I am new to this and I was thinking like , when the user is in compose message the text should be automatically saved to drafts like hotmail.

I am writing a text editor program and I have written the new, open, save as, exit menu items but I am struggling with writing the save option.Now I have created the menu itself (well vb did, I just used insert standard items) but how do I code up the save menu option so that it updates the current document or if the documnt has not yet been saved bring up the save file dialog.Here is the code I have so far
Public Class Main
Private Sub NewToolStripButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NewToolStripButton.Click, NewToolStripMenuItem.Click[code]....
I know I have some finishing touches such as messages and error handling and stuff but at the moment I want to get all the basics working,I think the save menu option is all I am struggling with at the moment.

I am trying to save multiple text files using a save dialog.
I can save one textbox
SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
Dim File As System.IO.File
Dim Write As System.IO.StreamWriter
Write = File.CreateText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName)
Write.WriteLine(TextBox1.Text)
Write.Close()
but I don't know how to save multiple textboxes and richtext boxes. Would I have to use a screenwriter for this?

I have a multi user app that works over a WAN and prints 2 types of documents:
1. Bus Tickets
2. Reports
Generally all users will have 2 printers connected to their PC (A Dot MAtrix printer for the continous paper tickets)and an inkjet or laser jet for reports.
How do I send certain print jobs i.e. Tickets automatically to the dot matrix printer and other print jobs automatically to the other printer?At the moment the dot matrix printer is set as the default printer on all machines, the reporting printer is then selected by the user whenever he/she wishes to print a report.This is not ideal however since most users run other apps on their machines and would prefer the plain paper printer to be set as the default.
I would like to obtain the device names from a database table or file on the user's machine so that the following occurs:
1. When A ticket is to be printed the printer object is automatically set to that of the dot matrix printer without offering an option.
2. When a report is to be printed the user is offered a dialog box(I know how to do this) WITH THE PRINTER NAME OF THE REPORT PRINTER APPEARING AS THE FIRST CHOICE.
1. How do I obtain a list of printers that are available on each computer?
2. How Do I set the printer object depending upon the job that is to be printed?

I have a problem with a combobox. I have a form (with information about clients) with textboxes binded to a dataview. One of the columns in the dataview contains a number that tells me what kind of client it is. I don't my users want that my users have to fill in a number in a textbox, but I want them to choose a item from a combobox. De selected value should be the value that is actually saved in the database.
This is my
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand
Dim dr As SqlDataReader
VerbindingMaken()
cmd.Connection = cnnVraagbaak
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
[Code] .....
De Datasource is the information in my combobox. With Databindings I'm trying to bind it to my dataset (or view, that doesn't work either) with clients. Every time I get a NullReferenceExeption. The moment I remove the line cbo.DataSource = dsRelatie.Tables("Relatiesoort"), I don't get an error, but it doesn't work either.
That dataset is filled (I've checked) and also the derived view. The column Relatiesoort exists. What do I have to do to make it possible for my users to choose an item from a combobox and save the selected value to the underlying dataset?

I have researched the net, youtube, and the msdn DB, and still can not find the working answer I am looking for. I would like someone to show me how you would save the contents of "Listbox1" to a .txt file using the "Save As" Option. I know how to hardcode a savepoint in, but since there will be multiple users I would like the option to be up to the end-user.
