i have this function to enable disable the controls on a form....
Private Sub EnableDisableAll(ByVal xType As Boolean)
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then
ctl.Enabled = xType
[Code]...
everything fine ...but when the controls r disabled it shows in the dull color. can i change the color ? as u can see i have given the command to change the forcolor to red to textbox but it still shows in dull greay... i dont want it to be enabled as i am using this to just give a view of records....the back color is changing to white but not the forecolor.....is there any thing more to be done...or any better way so as the items remain enabled but i dont allow the changes to be done.
I'm working on a winform which contains several controls like textboxes, radio buttons, datagridviews... All of these controls have been added to a main group box called gbDataEntry. My problem is when the user is seeing the form, I set gbDataEntry.Enabled = False but I want to enable some controls like DataGridviews so the user can scroll them. After disabling gbDataGridview I set DataGridView1.Enabled = True but it seems that the datagridview does not respond to this line. Why?
I'm trying to make a program where when textbox1 doesn't have a value, textbox2 is disabled but when a value is entered to textbox1, textbox2 will be enabled.
how can i selectively disable propertygrid items, or even categories based on the value of another property? i read somewhere about a typedescriptor but i couldn't find a good example.
I am creating a USB "cookie dispenser" (long story) and I plan on programming it by, when cookie.exe starts, it disables the port, you plug the USB in and press a button and it enables the port (thus powering the device). What I need to know is, is this at all possible? And if so, can you help me get it to work? I know I should put in an effort but it's late for me (UK) and I want to post this overnight so that you guys (in the USA may
I am enrolled in a class in Visual Basic 2008. I wanted to drop the class, but it is too late. Now, I am stuck with this project that the professor assigned and it's due this Thursday. Anyway, how do I do this: The credit card number TextBox control is dynamically enabled/disabled depending on the choice of payment type? And did I do the newOrderButton correctly (see code below)? This is also the clear button. And is there a way to do a reset Form? Sorry for that many questions. I am really lost right now because there is a lot to do in this project and I don't even have a clue of how I am going to finish this project.
Private Sub newOrderButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles newOrderButton.Click ' clears all the information that is displayed and start over
I have a program and I need the Submit time button to be disabled after I enter 5 numbers and then the Get Payment button needs to be enabled. I have been playing around for several hours but cannot figure out how to do it.[code]
when I got home to try out the method in the above post in my real application things did not work out.The big difference is that my main form is a MDI. When I open my edit form, it's mdiparent is set to the main form. When I click 'edit' and then disable "me" the entire application goes modal.I was expecting only the MDI child to go disabled, not the whole application..Basically, I want only the MDI child window that opens it's "edit" dialog to go disabled..
Here lies my form: Attachment 72542 I have to perform save and show operations with the access database. If i select the Bank Account radiobutton(Radiobutton1) then Bank Account No. combobox is enabled,Credit Card No. combobox is disabled and user can input the value only in the Bank Account No. field. When the form loads then both the combobox1 and combobox2 are disabled and as the user selects the radiobutton the combobox are enabled accordingly. So i did the following code in the form load event:
I am developing an application with a DataGridView (dgvData) that requires a ToolStipMenuItem (tsmiSelectNetwork) of a ContextMenuStrip (cmsNetwork) to be enabled and disabled programmatically based on if the column is sorted or not.
I have set:
'tsmiSelectNetwork.Enabled = False' at runtime 'tsmiSelectNetwork.Text = Select All' at runtime 'dgvData.Columns(5).ContextMenuStrip = cmsNetwork' programmatically
When dgvData is sorted by column 5, tsmiSelectNetwork.Enabled should be set to True; when it is sorted by any other column, it should be set to False (see code below)
Private Sub dgvData_Sorted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles dgvData.Sorted If Not dgvData.SortedColumn Is Nothing Then

The debug output indicates it is functioning properly, but what you seen on the screen is not.
I am using Visual Studios 2008, version 9.0.30729.1 SP; and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1; ContextMenuStrip version 2.0.0.0
I have successfully ported a VB6 application to VB.NET (VS2008, .NET 2.0). Much optimization and rewriting has been done, but there is one possible BUG i cannot overcome. I have a standard HSCROLLBAR control used for accepting a numeric input. The control needs to be disabled during complex computational routines to prevent additional user input. I am setting the enabled property to false and reenabling the control at the end of the calculation cycle. The control is enabled and disabled a few times, because some code has been placed in the onpaint event of a drawing area, and separating the calculation part from the drawing part will be a huge task.
Large changes are handled correctly. Small changes aren't. The problem is that the control freezes in a unknown state after clicking on the arrows. A second click makes the control (and its parent control box) jump up and over everything else in their container.The scrollbar remains functional only via the contextual menu. This happens both in debug and release builds. There are no overrides. Coding/Test platform XP SP3 (more than 1 machine).
There is no code whatsoever that handles neither the parent control nor the scrollbar repositioning and resizing. The only code takes the value of the scrollbar and passes to the calculation section. If I omit disabling and reenabling the control, everything works fine.i tried rebuilding the control from scratch. forcing enabling the control after it has gone haywire does not make changes, disabling the groupbox instead of the single control doesn't make any difference, debugging step by step confirms that things go wrong when drawing the controls within the private system form classes.
I have this form with a bunch of input controls. I have code working that will disable them all like I want, but need to work with the if/then statement portion. Basically, it's a "History" form for patients. There's a date field for each entry, and if that date doesn't match the date you're accessing the form I want it to disable all controls so you can't edit the form. So it would have to check the current date with the date that is on the form. Then I also want to have an override button that will ask you if you want to enable all controls anyway, which I can probably figure out. There is some older VB6 code (I think) but I know nothing about VB6 or how it translates.
I think this is the portion that does what I want in VB6: Private Sub DATE_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) Call Setdate Exit Sub Dim sysDate As Date, Response sysDate = VBA.Date [Code] .....
How to have the program check the current date with the date in this form. From there it's probably just a simple if/then statement to fire off either sub. This date control on the form is a DateTimePicker. Maybe I just have to compare that to the system date but I still don't know what to call for that.
I am creating a dedicated browser to be used exclusively on a single program located on my hard drive. Security is not a concern as the webbrowser URL will be set to the program's default web page path with no navigation options for going online. The program utilizes dynamic web pages with powerful search capabilities that require ActiveX controls. When I run my browser application, I get a series of security warning boxes stating:
Internet Explorer
An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction?
Yes No
Clicking "Yes" allows me to continue and the program features work, but the recurrent warning message boxes are annoying. The default "script errors suppressed" property of the webbrowser control is "false." If I change it to "true" I don't get the security warning boxes but some of the search features on the web pages with ActiveX controls don't work properly.
Is there a way to programmatically enable ActiveX controls in the webbrowser control so that I can set the "script errors suppressed" property to "true" (hence no security warning message boxes) and still allow the ActiveX features to work properly? Or, set the "script errors suppressed" property to "false" and have my program automatically activate the "Yes" button each time a security warning message box is called by Internet Explorer? The goal is to get the ActiveX controls to work in webbrowser without having to click through the warnings.
I have most of this working, but there are some issues yet. Basically, it's a "History" form for patients There's a date field for each entry, and if that date doesn't match the date you're accessing the form I want it to disable all controls so you can't edit the form.So it would have to check the current date with the date that is on the form.The issues I'm having are this. It seems to work because when I click today's date nothing gets locked like it used to, but when I do click another date everything in that form gets locked, including the override button and the scrollbar. I don't want the scrollbar locked, and I want to have an override button so the user can edit the form if they truly wish. It also locks the DateTimePicker so I can't pick another date, I don't want that locked either.I tried enabling the DTP in the sub below but it must get ignored
A recent project of mine has been to make a designer. I've finished everything, but when I click the controls to show the properties window, the control interacts with the cursor. So my question is: How do I freeze the controls from interacting with clicking or key presses without disabling the control itself?
Just wondering how i can enable visual styles with the application framework option disabled - it would be nice to have the ability to use the xp+ theming while having a bit more flexibility
i did a program on VB 2008 Express Edition but id like to add a feature.Id like that my program could be only accessed if you had an internet conection and if i allowed it. Id like to disable my program whenever I like for the ones who have it cant use it if i dont enable it
In my code i check listview1 values, whether they contain a "Yes" or a "No" if they contain a"No" i was trying to disable the checkbox on listview2 that corresponds to that value so far i have:
If formMain.ListView1.Items(Index).SubItems(2).Text = "No" Then '// We need to disable all the checkboxes on listview2 that contain "No" '// And also color code the background
how can i disable the Home, End, and the arrow keys Next and Previous?All i need is having all those four keyboard keys disable while my application is running so the app do nothing if one of those is pressed.
So I need to disable to start menu and have found a code on a website but it doesn't seem to work. Heres the

Edit: I'm creating a program for places like schools or library where the password for all users are the same. I already made the program go to full screen and always on top and have disabled the user from using taskbar but I can't stop the start menu from appearing.
I am calling a login form from the base form. From the base form I disable it after i show the login form. Then from the login form I want to re-enable the base form that is disabled... I have set it to be enabled at the closing of the login form... doesn't work.. i have set it to be enabled through a collection and calling that base forms handle... doesn't work.. Anything that i might be overlooking?These forms are inside an MDI form..
I am rather irritated at this. I have no clue why looping through controls on a form and in groupboxes leaves out 75% of the controls.
Here's the code I have:
Dim settings As String = "" Dim gbControl As Control Dim gbbox As Control
[Code]....
I want to have setting save all settings to an ini file, and not have to reprogram the saving routine when I add a group box or control. At random times, any number of controls can be disabled, checkboxes can be checked and unchecked, radiobuttons can be checked and unchecked. Regardless of the state of the control, I want the control to show up in the loop. But they don't. Only controls that are enabled and only checkboxes that are checked, every other control state is ignored. That's crap, and is definitely not what is needed by any programmer of any type. We're capable of determining if a control is enabled, hidden, checked, visible, and otherwise.
How do I get the controls to be included in the loop regardless of their state?
So how does one turn SSL on in System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient with VB.NET code?
Turning it on in System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient is easy, you set the .EnableSsl property. I cannot find a corresponding property in TcpClient. It's probably buried somewhere.
