Printing Picture Boxes And Provided Option For Dynamically Creating Picture Boxes As Well?
Jan 23, 2010I have some operations of Picture Boxes etc being performed. After the user finishes with the formatting, I want to give the user an option to print the work.But its the work is not done on the Rich Text Box but on picture boxes. I am not even sure, how many of the picture boxes would be there after the user finishes the job, since I have provided option for dynamically creating picture boxes as well.

I am attempting to fill a form with multiple rows from an access table based off of a parameterized query. My query works fine but I don't want to return one row at a time, I want to return all rows that match my query in multiple text boxes. I know that I can use a datagrid view to accomplish this, but I would prefer the look of a textboxes on a form. I have read through many books and searched the internet forums but think I may just not know what to search for as nothing has worked yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction. So far I have tried setting the text box value to the row().item(), creating a different dataset for each row, and even setting variables for the results of the query to then be passed to the text boxes. Since none of this work, I don't really have any starting code to post. If I could just get a starting point I could work from there, so don't feel the need to code anything for me, just set me in the right direction.

View 6 RepliesVS 2008 Comparing Picture Boxes And Textbox Information?
Jan 8, 2010I'm trying to make a Lottery program on visual basic 2008, but there's one thing that I am stuck with.Note: My explanation may be hard to understand, so if you would rather have me send you my code and see how it works, I'm fine with that. My code is pretty long so far, so I didn't know if i should post it on here.
My program has 6 picture boxes lined up horizontally, and has one text box underneath each one. There is a play and stop button on the bottom left corner.I've altered my program to have animations for the picture boxes. Instead of having a random picture picked, I have it so that each picture box scrolls through a series of 10 numbers when the user presses play.
When the player presses stop, the picture boxes stops scrolling, and random pictures are displayed in each box. (The picture is really just a black circle with a number in it).The text boxes below the picture boxes are for the user to put numbers in. These are the numbers they select for the lottery. Now this is my predicament. Since the picture boxes decides what the winning lotto numbers are, how can I compare the numbers in the text box to the pictures?

Controlling Picture Boxes Through A 2D Picture Box Array?
Aug 20, 2011I have VS 2008 and use VB, not C#/C++ or whatever else. I'm trying to make a battleship game, and I've decided to use the only method I can think of to control the grid. A 2D boolean array for position marking. I have the array set up, and the grid set up in the design form, but I can't figure out with all my research how to link them together. I'm writing this program to shake off the rust before school starts again, and for fun. I took VB in school last year, a half year class, so I have a foundation, now I'm self-educating myself above and beyond the class. I've searched for a way to use a picture box array to use the coordinates of the ship to .Visible=True the picture boxes. I've been working on this for 2 days straight with no results. I just need a little nudge in the right direction. The exception I've been getting with my latest concoction of code is NullReferenceException was Unhandled. I think its referring to the fact that I have no idea how to link the picture boxes into the array. Here's my code, and I'll comment where the exception is thrown:
Private Sub cmdStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdStart.Click

Create Multiple Combo Boxes (VB 2008)?
May 3, 2012First i am pretty new to coding and everything so yeah...I wish to make a distance and fuel calculator as my project. Included will be multiple combo boxes with different sets of information (The manufacturer of the vehicle, model of vehicle, the vehicles fuel use per 100Km, its transmission type, users choice of where they will depart from and arrive etc.) Is it possible to achieve this without using a lot of combo boxes? I've experimented using if statements for example:
if combobox1.selected item = "Holden" then
combobox2.visible = true (it's bad i know)
Then from this they would choose their model type in another combo box and then choose their transmission type etc..I don't want to use this because then it will mean i will have to do it for each and every combo box for each and every different set of data because making one 'visible = true' i will have to make the other 'visible = false' and this will cause problems when i start adding a lot onto it.
Cannot Manage Multiple ComboBoxes In Form
Jan 25, 2011I have the following problem, a table "table1" contains 10000 telephone numbers, this table is source for 5 combo box contained in a form, I need that when I select the first tel N in the first combo, this number is not any more available for the combo 2, when I select the second number in the second combo, the first 2 numbers of the table 1 are not any more available for the combo 3 etc. Every record (in form) contains 5 combo. The Tel N selected into the combo are source for other table called "table2". I've try with all the type of query between table 1 and table 2, and use the result as source for the combo, I've try with IIf but this is works only for the first combo.

View 2 RepliesHow To Manage Multiple Tables With Same Structure (Redux)
Feb 23, 2011How to manage multiple tables with the same structure. However, due to the craptastical nature of VB, the solution doesn't really work. It specifically doesn't work because VB.NET requires the implementation of each method/property in the interface to be explicitly declared.
As for the problem that I'm really trying to solve, here it is:
I have many lookup/domain tables in the database that all have the same structure.
The items in these tables are typically used for drop downs in the interface.
I would like to avoid a bunch of boilerplate repository methods to retrieve the contents of these tables (one method per table really sucks when you have 40 tables).
I am not using the One True Lookup Table anti-pattern and this is not an option.

View 1 RepliesVisual Studio - Manage Multiple Files That Are Part Of One Class - Classes, Modules?
Sep 23, 2009My VB project is large enough that it requires several files. It was originally developed as a Console App and I created each file as a MODULE. All modules could use subroutines, data structures and constants from other MODULES and everything worked fine. I needed to add basic windowing to the app and this required that the app be converted from a Console App to a Windows Forms App. The main window is Form1 which is not a MODULE but a CLASS. The problem is that some MODULE based functions cannot access subroutines, data and constants that are defined within the CLASS Form1 unless they are incorporated into the CLASS file and this makes the CLASS file very large. If I add a new Class file to the project, it also cannot interoperate with Class Form1 in the same way that multi-MODULE code interoperates.
How does one spread CLASS code across several files and still allow it to interoperate as if it were in a single file? Alternatively, how does one create several CLASS files that operate the way multiple MODULE files operate.I am sure that there are all kinds of best practices that I am violating but the goal to to get some prototype software working and interfaced to some lab equipment.
Animation With 5 Picture Boxes?
May 4, 2010I'm trying to create an animation with 5 picture boxes (labeled picturebox0 - picturebox4) but I have a specific order I want them to display. I made 5 picture boxes, added images to them, and stack them on top of each other.

Array Of Picture Boxes
Oct 6, 2011I need an indexed set of picture boxes. The number, n, of these objects is determined at run-time.Migrating from VB6!! I had used the load command n times to create a control array from a "seed" picture box. In code the individual pictureboxes are accessed as formula(k), where formula was the name of the control array and k is an integer. Examples can be seen at url... the chemical formulae, Ni2+ etc., are draggable picture boxes (curve captions if you like), so that they can be placed wherever the user wants.How can I implement something similar in VB.NET?

Jun 22, 2012I want to creat a photo hunt for 6-8th grades summer computer camp. all I want to do is have them change the image in paint, then load the two images in picture boxes on a form. When I create the ovals to identify the differences in the images, they automatically are behind the picturebox.I can't figure out how to get the ovals to be in front of the picture box. I click the picture box and say send to back but the ovals are still behind the picture boxes. There is no right click on the ovals to send to the front. there has to be a simple answer for this. I also tried putting the images on the background but when I make the ovals invisible, they are not clickable and I cant set the border to 0.This was a no brainer in vb6.0
View 9 RepliesSync Locks - Manage Access To A Collection Object From Multiple Threads - Add, Update, Remove, Clear
Oct 20, 2009I am considering a piece of code that will manage access to a collection object from multiple threads - add, update, remove, clear. OK ... so I have put a sync lock within each method, but what is not clear from the MS documentation is exactly how the sync lock is behaving. Is it locking the piece of code it wraps? Or is it locking the object? And if it is locking the object a private static object should lock out any code locked on the object within all instances of the object? i.e. if an add operation is underway, an update, delete or clear will wait for the lock to be released.
Finally, if I have multiple threads contending for the sync lock, how is the release managed? First come, first serve? random (from my p.o.v)? Is there a chance that two separate threads could blunder into 'locked' code simulataneously?

View 5 RepliesCreating Serialized Picture Boxes
Dec 27, 2010I'm building a simple game which involves many pictureboxes with which the player may collide. For instance, I'd have a hundred bricks spread throughout the level. In an old version of pacman I built in VB6 (and upgraded to .net), I implemented this like so: [Code]
As I understood, the brick(I) array exists thanks to the naming of the bricks, which ranges from _brick_0 to _brick_217 (as nowhere in the project a brick array is declared implicitly, at least not that I could find). I'd like to do the same in my current project, but even when I duplicate an existing brick it automatically renames it to "PictureBox123" instead of _ExistingName_NextID.
I saw a method of declaring a picturebox array and adding the bricks one by one, but since I have so many pictures this would best be avoided (especially due to the fact that not all pictures are bricks, so I cant just loop through every picture in the form). In short, my question is: How do I duplicate pictureboxes so that they'd be serialized in a way vb.net would interpret as a picturebox array? As you can see, i'm a really newbie to vb.net and wf in general, just started studying wf a couple days ago for my B.Sc and even that was accomplished with c#.
