View 1 RepliesI've created the design of it, I just have no clue how to load.
Basically, there is a Dropdown box that connects to a folder. In the folder, are txt files. I need w/e text files are there on startup to be shown, in the dropdown box. Then, I need it so when somemone selects one of the files in the dropdown box, it read's the text file and performs some tasks. (I am getting really confused on how I could do this)
So basically, the dropdown is just for selecting the Text File.
In the textfile would be things like this:
open {test.java} (This would internally open the named java/ or whatever file)
find {test} (This would find the word test in the file)
add {testadd}, {under} (Would add "testadd" underneath The searched "test"}
remove {testadd} (Would remove "testadd")
save {test.java} (would save)
stop {c:/location/compile.bat} (Would Basically load the bat file.)
As if this wasn't complicated enough, then how would I get the compile.bat stuff (Like the log that comes from it, etc) to show up in a rich text field?
I cannot figure this out O_O

Today, while talking with my colleague, something odd came out of his mind. A "secret" way to handle string coming from vb6, which was like:
[Code]...
I've got a program that in a nutshell reads values from a SQL database and writes them to a tab-delimited text file.The issue is that some of the values in the database have special characters (TM, dash, ellipsis, etc.) When written to the text file, the formatting is lost and they come across as junk "â„¢ or â€" etc"
When the value is viewed in the immediate window, before it is written to the txt file, everything looks fine. My guess is that this is an issue of encoding. But, I'm not real sure how to proceed, where to look, or what to look for.Is this ASCII or UTF-8? If it's one of those how do I correct it before it's written to the text file.Here's how I build the text file (where feedStr is a StringBuilder)
objReader = New StreamWriter(filePath)
objReader.Write(feedStr)
objReader.Close()
buildLetter.Append("</head>").AppendLine();
buildLetter.Append("").AppendLine();
buildLetter.Append("<style type="text/css">").AppendLine();
Assume the above contents resides in a file. I want to write a snippet that removes any line which has empty string "" and put escape character before the middle quotations. The final output would be:
buildLetter.Append("</head>").AppendLine();
buildLetter.Append("<style type="text/css">").AppendLine();
The outer " .... " is not considered special chars. The special chars may be single quotation or double quotation. I could run it via find and replace feature of Visual Studio. However, in my case I want it to be written in c# or VB.NET

I am loading a specific excel file into a form using webBrowser control(I'm suing this control because this way I can open any excel file). The thing i want to do is get the contents of specific cells within this excel file and put them into a textbox. An easy way to do this seems to be plain copy/paste the contents into the textbox. I want this process to be automated, so that the user can click only one button and the selected cell's contents to go sraight to the textbox(the button would act like the copy command and then paste the contents in the textbox). Also, i would like to know if i can add this option to the right-click menu.

View 11 RepliesI am running an experiment that datalogs to the computer. I need to know when there is a change in on of the databoxes. Since there is no way to modify the software, my mind thinks the next best thing would be to design a software that allows you to select part of the monitor's screen and have it refresh very quickly to detect any change in the image in that area.

i really dont know how to express what i want in a single line so here we go. I have made a menu button which should tell the user how to use the program i have made. So when user clicks on the button a new window should appear which should have explanations on how to use my program , and some additional notes.

And sometimes there is a "\n" character that makes it split the line, and this should not happen.

Dim SPECIAL As Acronym = "Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck." The game I'm working on is going to use this style of system.
What I need to do is:
1. All SPECIAL values have to be between 1 and 10. [DONE]
2. When adding and subtracting from any SPECIAL; update remaining points accordingly.
3. If remaining points = 0, then you cannot increase any SPECIAL.
4. If remaining points <> 0, then you cannot continue until all are spent.
I'm up to task 2, but having some difficulty.I managed to figure out how to do it for one. For example:
Sub Numeric_Up_Down_Strength_Value_Changed() Handles Numeric_Up_Down_Strength.ValueChanged
Label_Remaining_Value.Text = CStr(10 - Numeric_Up_Down_Strength.Value)
End Sub
But I'm having trouble figuring out how to make it work for all. I've had some ideas but upon trying to implement them I've been having data type conversion errors.
