VS 2010 Coding Forms - Creating Some Forms And Message Boxes?
Dec 25, 2011
I'm looking forward to reading and adding more to the community here. I've created a text based rpg. Next semester we are learning Visual Basic. I'm on winter break and I would like to get a head start on my learning. I've been working on creating some forms and message boxes. What is throwing me off, is that I have a good feel for doing coding so that I get functionality the will produce effects in a console. Coding the forms is a bit confusing for me. Is this something that others have run into? Is their some good primers for VB? I don't have my text books yet.
I need to assign code to a button, that when clicked on, validates an ISBN code, and displays a message that it is either Valid or Invalid. I basically need help transforming code used in a console application that will now be used in a windows form application, so no more writeline stuff, now message boxes. [code]
I have written a code and tried linking up groupboxes from my input form called input.vb and the output form called results.vb.
[Code]...
I have used the above codes to access groupboxes from both forms. However, at run time I get errors saying "InvalidCastException was unhandled" and below that it says "Conversion from string to DOuble is not valid". This error points to a value in a group box that is actually hidden or disabled.
Im trying to make a program that allows the user to view additional information via moving the cursor over the label to view (make visble) additional information, in the form of text boxes and/or picture boxes. How will i go about doing this?
I am loading forms into a TabControl creating a new tab page each time the form is loaded. ** I would like to point out that I am using UC instead of a from**
Now, I can easily have many tabs with the same form loaded. On the form I have a 'Search Button' So my question is, after clicking the search button how can I tell which instance of the form the 'Search Button' was clicked? Hope this makes sense
Recently, someone asked me to code a program for them in Visual Stuido. What they need is a program that allows them to enter names, and each name has to pick a option (i was thinking that the user would select a radio button) and each option could only be selected a limited number of times.
.NET developing and have a simple question, i've been stuck on this for a while and searched many forums first with no solution so i'm posting myself. In VB for excel i've used Screenupdating=false to disable the screen updating however now i'm creating a visual studio 2010 windows forms application and its not showing up as a property. Here's the code i've tried.
I'm using VB 2010 and need to multiply 2 user input numbers in forms, so basically: TextBox5 = TextBox2 * TextBox3 That obviously didn't work but it shows what I want it to do.
I have a complete ms access system build(tables, forms, reports, query). I am in the process of using vb to re-create the system. I managed to show every fields on my vb forms without any coding. However I have some wrong information in my combo boxes. For example I will have repetition(duration, ie 3 months is showing 5 times). Also when I use the arrows only three records are showing. It says 104 records and only shows 1-3. I have also checked all the data in vb that has been transfered from access and it is all similar, ni repetition.
I'm working on a project where I need a timeline similar to what you would see within a video editing program. Picture of my timeline - [URL]
So far, I've designed the timeline using nested pictureboxes. The main area of the timeline is a picturebox, and each track (marker and test) are children pictureboxes contained within the first. The marker dots are custom controls that are children of the marker picturebox. The idea will be for the slider to control zooming of the information in the timeline and the scrollbar to control panning of the timeline. Live data will be added to the timeline. This live data will include the marker dots and painting on the bitmap contained within the test picturebox.
I've got portions of the timeline functioning, but I'm stuck on how I should go about panning and zooming. I would like the timeline to update every second and advance the blue bar by 1 pixel every second. The problem starts when the blue line reaches the end of the timeline. Once the blue line reaches the end, I want everything on the timeline to start scrolling off the left side. What would be the best way to go about doing this and still be able to maintain the data written to the timeline? This could be a lot of data if the program runs for several hours.
My app consists of some text boxes which use msg boxes on invalid input. How can i replace these msg boxes with balloon tips that will appear under each text box on invalid input.
I have a listview control that contains 2 items, ProdCode and ProdName. When the user clicks on the Prodcode, I would like the Prodcode to be entered into a field on the form. at the same time, the ProdName should populate the ProdName field on the form. Below is the code to get the data for the ListView.
Dim objListViewItem As ListViewItem 'Initialise a new instance of the data access base class Using objData As New DABase
I have to make a lot of retangular boxes to make my program neat but i'm having a problem of adding boxes. I tried using the draw event in the tab page but everytime i scroll it will draw the lines again and messes up everything. Also when making a line greater that the tab page, autoscroll won't work.Is there a way to make lines or boxes in design time?
I have a list box which is containning diffrent groups from database. On the form i have multiple controls like checkboxes, text boxes and so on. Wht i have to do when some one selects a entry from list box the others controsl should be populated from that value. User can edit the data , delete the data and so on.
Ok, Im having trouble passing a value from one form back to another using a listbox... The user clicks a button in the main form to bring up an instance of another form (form2.show). In that form, the user then then selects a number 1-5 and then presses done:
Code: Private Sub frmPlayer_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim x As Integer If lboNumber.Items.Count = 0 Then 'list box is empty For x = 1 To 5
[Code]...
How do I pass that value back to the main form as a value when the user clicks done?
I'm currently trying to make a beat generator, which allows you to add several labels (boxes) onto a panel, and then sound will be played when the "play slider" reaches the same x-value. However, i can't make the slider find the boxes. OK, so this is what I've got so far! Clicking my button, a label named sound0, sound1, sound2 is added to my panel_back (which is the background of the player) Private Sub btn_addkick_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_addkick.Click
Am currently piecing my programm together and working on structure. My plans will have me running multiple forms,and my question is this. When I have ,say ,on form1, a "TextBox1" and on another form a TextBox with the same name,will I have conflicts when I access data across forms. Should I be taking care to make sure textboxes and buttons names aren't being repeated,or will VB know what I want?
I am new to programming just started school for it and i started playing in VB Which is what my class is i have Visual Studio 2008. okay here is what i need help on. I am making a simple windows forms program it has 3 forms and on form 2 i have 6 text boxes and on form 3 i have 6 labels. I am trying to get the user entered data in the 6 text boxes to transfer to the 6 labels on form 3.
I've got a big database driven project...15 forms 50+ input boxes and im wondering how to do it effieciently. I've got code to connect to the mysql databse but i dont want to put it inside each form over and over for every form. How can i do it so that i only have to clal one method to connect to the db or leave the db connected constantly from the start of the app. here is the code that i got to put in every form -_-
I want to create a grid of checkboxes dynamically on my form for example the user may key in 16 which is a 4x4 grid of checkboxes or 81 which is a 9x9 grid.my code seems to be generating the correct values but the checkboxes dont go to the correct location on the form
Public Class Form1 Public NumberOfInputs As Integer = 81 Public CheckBoxArray() As Control
I'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:
Second, I want to make a form that tells the user good morning if he was in the morning or tell him good afternoon if he was in the afternoon and it depends on the computer clock like if the clock was 3.00 AM the message box shown and tell him good afternoon.
I have two list boxes. A users selects a value from each, clicks a button and the application creates a relationship between the two selected items by saving them in an array and displaying the relationship in a third list box.
What I want to allow is for users to be able to drag a value from one list box and drop it on top of another value. I have the code to capture the value of the item dragged but I don't see how to capture the item that the data is dropped onto.
Is there a way to capture the targeted selected item?
