VS 2010 : Getting Place Value In Combo Box?

Dec 8, 2010

I have a loaded combo box and was wondering if there was a way i could get the place value from it when it is selected. An example would be i have a combo box full of foods:

Apple
Bannana
Peach
Pear

if the user selects apple then i want to be able to get 1 from the combo box since that is the spot it is in. if peach was selected then i want to get the place value of 3.

C# - Refresh A Combo Box Item In-place?

Sep 17, 2009

The ComboBox Items collection is an ObjectCollection, so of course you can store anything you want in there, but that means you don't get a Text property like you would with, say, a ListViewItem. The ComboBox displays the items by calling ToString() on each item, or using reflection if the DisplayMember property is set.

My ComboBox is in DropDownList mode. I have a situation where I want to refresh the item text of a single item in the list when it gets selected by the user. The problem is that the ComboBox doesn't re-query for the text at any time besides when it loads up, and I can't figure out how else to do what I want besides removing and re-adding the selected item like so:

PlantComboBoxItem selectedItem = cboPlants.SelectedItem as PlantComboBoxItem;
// ...
cboPlants.BeginUpdate();
int selectedIndex = cboPlants.SelectedIndex;

[Code]....

This code works fine, except for the fact that my SelectedIndex event ends up getting fired twice (once on the original user event, and then again when I re-set the property in this code). In this case, it's not a big deal that the event is fired twice, but it's inefficient, and I hate that. I could rig up a flag so it exits the event the second time, but that's hacking.

VS 2008 Navigating My Code - Flow Can Jump From Place To Place

Mar 11, 2010

Like I imagine everyone, I often have problems navigating my code because the flow can jump from place to place. For example, if my code calls routine1, and I then want to go to routine1's code, I know that I can click in the dropdown menu and it will take me to that sub. But wouldn't it be easier if I could somehow right click on the call to routine way and select something like 'take me there' which would transport me from the function making the call to the code for the function being called? Then it would be easy to hop from place to place.

VS 2010 Place Two Events Under The Same Sub?

May 20, 2012

Well I currently just finished my game, but it ended up around 1GB. Thus, I tried to revise the code to make it smaller. I am trying to get 2 form events under a single sub. For example, a sub for a town would have the shown event and the click event. However, when I try that it won't work.

The other way is to transfer variables and its data from one sub to another. But I dont know how to either Example:

Private Sub Number
Dim TheNumber as integer

VS 2010 - Calling API From Resource Or External Place

Jan 15, 2011

In a program of mine, I have a resource (which is a textfile). This contains also vb.net code, It is resource which is binded to an .exe, with the mainprogram that I have. So the main program calls the resource, and the resource bind to an exe file.

I have this line:
Declare Function GetProcAddress Lib "kernel32" (ByVal handle As IntPtr, ByVal name As String) As IntPtr
In the source.txt and I want to replace this whole line by a string(or word) which calls this line from somewhere else. For example in another source.txt. A textbox is not possible because this is not a vb form, but a .txt-file. Maybe I can create another resource, which IS a vb.net form, call it or something? In this case. I can create a textbox with this line that I gave above, And I can use it by: textbox1.text.

VS 2010 - Randomize Text From List And Place Into Another Textbox

Jan 23, 2011

I am creating a Map Rotation Randomizer for my Call of Duty clan, and I am having an issue with understanding how to randomize the text from the list and placing it into another textbox.

Here's what it looks like right now:
All textboxes are multi-line.

When I click a button for a game (CoD4, MW2, WaW), it places the map list into the left textbox like:
mp_bloc
mp_broadcast
mp_crossfire
etc.

When I click the button with ">>>", I want it to randomize that list and place it into the right textbox like:
map mp_bloc map mp_broadcast map mp_crossfire

Or if I click it again:
map mp_crossfire map mp_bloc map mp_broadcast
And so on. I think I need to create an array, but I've never worked with those before as I'm still new to learning programming. I'm not even sure what controls I need to put on the form for that, if it even requires any.

VS 2010 Place 2 Hire Coder/tutor To Project?

Apr 26, 2012

I'm in college & in my part time I have been working on some automated web task apps. Just real basic stuff to automate my own personal account tasks on small social networks (not facebook!) to keep up with fan's for my 'soon to be' record label....nothing multiple accounts & it's not any kind of unsolicited spam functions. I know I could obtain most/if not all the info/code I need on this forum... I guess some people just need their hand held more than others, in order to stay focused.

Basically I've just got some things I'd like to add to my application that are above my ability & I need someone to help me out with my code. REALLY SIMPLE STUFF..like I've still yet to figure out for example:

1) How to simply pause between functions, as opposed to having to use a timer for each function. And using 1 timer to enable another timer...and so on in that fashion. Which becomes incredibly confusing & hard to edit after adding more than 3-4 timers reliant on each other LoL

2) Figuring out a way to not have to rely on 'webpage has finished loading' to move onto the next task. When many times on social networks, pages don't load properly, especially during peak hours, thus stopping the function of my web browser based application.

3) Implementing my application using a superior web browser framework. For example Gecko, or some other 3rd party browser that can perform simple tasks like filling forms, submitting them, clicking links/clicking javascript links.Right now using I.E. web browser, after my application has loaded about 75 web pages, it's using about 200mb of ram (from its initial 16mb) because of a memory leak in I.E. to which there is no solution (documented in several threads on this forum).Where in your opinion, would be a good place to look to hire a programmer/tutor for something like this? Because I am not looking for just code, but hands on, like on IM messenger/talk me through help too. I wonder if there is even a place offering services like that?

VS 2010 - Subtracting - Subtract From Textbox1 And Place The Output In Textbox2

Dec 10, 2011

Textbox1 will have the number 0x08800000, It may also be more than one line, so for example;

0x08800000 0x02313823
0x08800000 0xDEADBEEF
0x08800000 0xBEEFBEEF
etc etc

I only need to subtract 08800000 from whats in bold, the rest will stay the same. The value in textbox1 will always begin with 0x0880xxxx I need to convert that to 0x00000000 so basically I need to subtract 08800000 from textbox1 and place the output in textbox2.

Place All The Objects In The Same Place On The Screen

Nov 30, 2011

I am learning Visual Basic 2010 and I am working on a space combat program for my own education and amusement (a simulation of the Honorverse space combat system). I have a routine to add ships to the enemy ship roster and then place them randomly on the viewscreen. When I step through the sub with the debugger, it works fine, but when I run it without stopping, it wants to place all the objects in the same place on the screen. It's actually assigning 2 random numbers pertaining to the size of the viewscreen and assigning those numbers to GameObjectScreenLocation through GameObjectWorldLocation.X and GameObjectWorldLocation.Y. The objects are fully initialized to 0 in their constructor, FYI. Code is below:

VS 2010 Disable Ctrl + U Key Combo?

Oct 26, 2011

I've read many posts about disabling Alt+Ctrl+Del and Ctrl+Tab, etc. I'm not looking to do that. What I'm trying to do is create an app which will be hidden, and then need to be unhidden from "anywhere." For example, if I have an Excel spreadsheet open, I want to be able to use a combo like Ctrl+U to Unhide my program, but I do NOT want it to underline the text in the cell I'm currently in (which Excel will normally do). I don't want to worry about disabling or changing shortcut combinations for Excel, Word, etc.
