I sometimes need to retain the values of my variable for a very long time as the same value will get used over and over again until it gets referenced again somewhere down the line and then it changes it value.
So is it possible for a variable to never lose its value even when a form is closed or a sub finishes?
I am using VS 2008 to develop a VB application which has a tabcontrol. On the 3rd tabpage is a combobox, set with DropDownStyle as "DropDown" to allow free text to be entered as well as selecting from the loaded items. My application allows for values to be saved to disk and reloaded.
What I'm finding is that when then application is 1st started, if the tabpage containing the combobox has not yet been accessed, and a value is loaded from disk by the application into the combox's text property ( I have verified this using by Debug.Print statement, and using a Watch), when the tabpage containing the combobox is selected (I add a break on the "TabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged" event to check the text value) the text value is cleared to equal "".

Working on supporting a application that connects a digitizer pad to a application. The client said that when the screen saver activates on their computers the digitizer pad looses connectivity and when the screen saver is turned off the pad will not re-sync.Where might i find how to resolve this? We are using the USBAPI provided in visual Basic.net. should we build in consideration for this, or should the API understand connectivity?
View 4 RepliesI've got a DataGridView that has a DataTable as the DataSource. If the user has rows selected in the DataGridView, calling AcceptChanges on the DataTable will clear the selection (highlight) from those rows. Can this be prevented?
View 6 RepliesI'm writing a custom user control for my asp.net site, for storing datetimes. It has two properties:
Private _includeTime As Boolean
Private _value As DateTime = Nothing
Public Property IncludeTime() As Boolean
[code]....
I call my custom control in this way:
<my:DateTimeInput runat="server" includetime="true" ID="txtWhen" />
This sets the includetime property correctly.In my backend code I also do this on page_load:
txtWhen.SelectedDateTime = now
When I step through with the debugger, I see that the property gets set, BUT when the page_load of the control itself loads, the property value is reset to nothing!
The page_load of the control:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
lbltime.Visible = IncludeTime
If SelectedDateTime().CompareTo(Nothing) > 0 Then

I am working on login and registration page in vb express 2010. I have connected access 2007 database with my project and when I register as a user, it stores information to the database successfully and I can log in with that id as well. But when I close that project and reopen it, the same exact id won't work and the information in the database disappears.
View 1 RepliesI have a form which contains a progressbar and a Listbox which update as the code runs through and performs some sometimes time-consuming calculations.
At one point in the code, it breaks to ask the user to enter a number using :

this works fine but I find that once the data entry is complete, and the code continues to run, the form loses focus and the progressbar and the Listbox updates cannot be seen until the code finished its calculations.

View 13 RepliesI have a form with a "print" toolstrip button. When I click that button I run the code shown below. The print dialog box appears. The title is dark blue seeming to indicate it has focus. The main form is lighter blue indicating it does not have focus. But hovering over the "Print" button (or the cancel button) does not cause it to change color. If you click on the print button, then the color changes and the second click causes the appropriate action. Same with the cancel button. If you click on the dialog label or on the main form the only thing that happens is the print button will then become "active" and a click there then works. If you click on the main form once, nothing happens, but if you click on it a second time you get the "bonk" sound indicating you ae clicking on the wron modal. As if this isn't strange enough, this action just started recently. I made a few unrelated (as far as I can tell) changes, and discovered this action.[code]....
View 15 Replieswhen calling a webmethod
[WebMethod]
public Profile synchronize(string MID, DeviceUploadData data)
The object DeviceUploadData has many properties, and a few of them are array's. My question is about the array specifically. It loses it's value once it's received on the webmethod end.This is the property inside DeviceUploadData
Private data() As DataObject
Public Property Data() As DataObject()

So the DataObject is populated with data, then once passed, on the other end, some of the DataObject properties are no longer populated. I haven't included the other properties in this example.

Some time back I posted some questions concerning printing a RTB. I got some great answers and have a RichTeckBoxPrintCtrl based on KB811401 and lots of from this forum. It works great. I can enter text and changed fonts in any selected portions and it prints just like it looks. But my form also has some plain text boxes for the user to fill in some required fields. The RTB is for additional comments. I want to print the plain text boxes in a formatted method followed by the data in the RTB using my RTBPrintCtrl.

I'm using a TabStrip control in my VB6 app (mscomctl.ocx).(Annotation: to use the TabStrip control add the component: Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0(SP6) )When hightlighting e.g. the 2nd tab ...
TabStrip1.Tabs(2).HighLighted = True
and removing the tab's caption
TabStrip1.Tabs(2).Caption= ""
.. tab2 loses its hightlight !!
To prevent tab losing focus I fixed it with the following code:
For Each e In TabStrip1.Tabs
If e.HighLighted = True Then
e.HighLighted = True
End If
Next
Is it a known bug? Here is my vb6 sample project showing how the tab loses the highlight if the tab's caption is removed.
Is there anyway to put some code in to load a certain Gif image when the user wins or loses? i currently have this in place

I am making a custom button control and am having some difficulty with my Text property. Anything I type in only stays while the form designer window is open.

The following (abysmal) code demonstrates how standard serialize/de-serialize in VB loses the CR when on de-serialize. This can be overcome by applying 'XmlAttribute(DataType:="string")' to Description. Why does it do this? I would like to fix this without applying a 'LF' -> 'CR''LF' in every affected class. This is fixing a bug in existing XML files generated without the XmlAttribute!

I have a need for a button to take the user back to their previous page.Because of how this page is accessed, the only way to do this is with javascript using history.back()
This part works perfectly apart from the fact when a user goes to click a button on the page they have gone to back to, I get the error that Request.QueryString is not supported in this context.I'm guessing the Request object is lost when javascript is directing the user to the previous page.I cannot use Request.UrlReffer either because the the nature of the back button. (it causes a loop at times).
I had an interesting bug today when sending plain text emails from our system. We format messages like this: -1st something happened blab bla. -2nd something else happened blab blab blaa bla. Today we had an email that looked like this: -1st something happened blab bla. -2nd something else happened blab blab blaa bla $1000.00 -3rd Something happened. So above, we see that we lost the CrLf but only on the message that didn't have a period and ended in 0. I went through the code and found the CrLf is intack up until we send the email. I tracked the code down below, I am guessing it applies to C# as well:

I have a question regarding waiting for closing a window or changing focus back to my app. What i have is an app that creates a few tables, that then puts the tables into a temp file that wordpad opens for the user to check they are correct, this is where i need help, i would like to now wordpad is open wait until the user closes wordpad or changes the focus away from wordpad until i open the next form which is responsible for using the tables and converting them into xml.
Which event should i look at using that fires when a program is exited or gets focus?
since I still use VB6 and the code is in VB8, I can't find the solution.The sub below is executed in a button's click event, and is supposed to save data to his database. It seems to work fine : you can add persons (in a separate form), and see them appear in the datagrid. You can stop the program, go back to the VB editor, and run it again (without rebuild), and the previously added persons will still be visible in the datagrid. But...If you add some persons, then go to the editor and force a rebuild (for example by adding more code), and than run the code again, the the previously added persons are gone (nomore visible in datagrid)!To me, it seems that the problem is to effectively update the database. I have searched on the internet about this topic, and I read that you must "set" the UpdateCommand.
