What i want it to do is create a key from the Drive Selection box i.e. 'H' then create two sub keys called 'DefaultIcon' and 'DefaultLabel' and assign values to their (Default) key but its not working.
I have one CheckedListBox called cListBox, and I have one ListBox called ListBox.In my cListBox I have, for example:IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011131Space Cadet Set for male characters comes complete with hair piece, Space Fleet Uniform, hands, and boots.IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011141Space Cadet Set for female characters comes complete with hair piece, Space Fleet Uniform, hands, and boots.It is ALWAYS the case that you have IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_somekindof6longvalue (TAB seperator) some kind of text.
View 2 RepliesI'm just familiarising myself to edit registry in VB. I am having a problem with changing a value in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key. When ever I change a value at runtime it always assumes that I am going in the "Wow6432Node" key, even though I don't put that in the parenthesis. Example:
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvancedFolderHiddenSHOWALL", "CheckedValue", 1) and it doesn't change the value in the string above, but changes it as if I have put

I've been searching in google for some time now and i've just found answers like "Resources are embedded in the exe so you can't retrieve the path" and other answers which are complicated and not even explained how to use the code. ~~However my problem is that i have a .txt resource file in my resources and i want to edit the content of the file so i triedIO.File.WriteAllText(My.Resources.MyTextFile, "some string")but that didn't work out since [My.Resources.MyTextFile] retrieves the content/value of the resource so what i want to do is edit the resource file simply, from within my application, not by going to My Project > Resources and from there, edit the file
View 1 RepliesNot sure if I'm posting this in the right area, but here goes anyway. I've been working with sql databases for practice, but can't seem to get around one thing; after I add it as a data source, I can't go back and add tables.
I start off by going through the project, then add item, choose the service-based database, and go from there. I add the tables, then go in and add it as a data source.
After I've added it as a data source, I can go back into the .mdf form and add lines and edit properties, but it wont update in the data sources. So, I can't add it to the form.
I must change the textbox value of a form a thread that is located on an other module. I've already tried with the CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls to False on the onLoad event of the textbox's form but it doesn't seems to work because everytime the thread executes the lines that should change the textbox value nothing happens at all (not even a warning). I really don't want to use that "safe cross threading" with delegates and stuff because it's too much trouble for me, I don't know how to use it and I just have one thread on my project and it's the only control that is accessing those textboxes.

I have a text file called: list.txt This is a list with all kind of lines like this:
14II_ARM_S_CLO_CLO_CLOVERIDS_PROPITEM_TXT_01194611IK1_ARMORIK2_CLOTHIK3_CLOAK=TRUE==200050000====PARTS_CLOAK=1==11=1===11_NONE Ofcourse every line has different numbers and letters.
The complicated bit is this:
I want to let Button1 check whats in TextBox1.Text and search "list.txt" for it. When it has got a match (there is only ONE of these numbers in list.txt).For example TextBox1.Text = "IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011946". And I search for that so I find the line above. Now I want 3 other textboxes which show the 21st, 22nd, 23rd column/number after "IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011946". And they should be editable by changing those 3 textboxes and clicking the apply button.How can I best do this, and please give a little example.
I have a datagridview hooked up to a bindingsource. I have a comboboxcolumn. Now, I only want the combobox to be visible if a new row is being added. Otherwise, that column should not be editable. How can I achieve this. If so, on what event should I add code.
