I am trying to find a way to associate a key with an index for a Listviewitem in VB.Net. I'm not even sure if it can be done with .Net but I know in VB6 I could do a
Listview.listitem.add "somestring", "somestring".
For the application I am using this in, I cannot have duplicate item.text so I would make the key the same as the string. this also made accessing the item easier since I didn't have to rely on index to update the subitems.
I finally figured out exactly what I do not understand in vb.net. What I am needing to know is how to associate one object to another such as how would I associate text box(A) with text box( so that text box ( gives me the correct output after I type input into text box (A).
I am making a program with tabs, and in each tab is a textbox for editing a file (like how VB's designer does). How can I match up a textbox with a tab so that the cut, copy, paste, select all, etc. in the menu can tell what textbox to preform actions on? I was thinking of getting the current selected tab, and somehow finding the textbox associated with that tab.
How can i go about associating my application with a filetype e.g *.safsg ? How can i get my program to open them file types when that filetype is double clicked on desktop for example.
I am facing another issue. I want to associate a timer to my function. Actually what i am doing is that i am tryin to store certain values in a database. A function is such that it calculates 5 values and stores them in a database. While storing them in the database it displays them in a textbox on the form. Now i want to display them one by one which it does. But it does it so fast that i can only see the last value that it enters in the database inside the textbox.
Can i make it show all the values slowly one by one.
Private Sub dbInsert(ByVal strfile As String, ByVal hashoffile As String, ByVal p As Integer) 'parameter to the above function (ByVal strfile As String)
I am trying to associate multiple files with my app i have done associating files but when i try to open multiple files app open just one file, to open the file iam using this code in form load event
For Each arg In My.Application.CommandLineArgs open_File(return_rtb, arg) Next arg
And the second problem is myApp is single instance app how to catch if user double click on a file while myApp is running like form load event for first time.
I have gotten my application to open with an associated file type, but now I'm trying to figure out how to associate the file types to the app. I associated them on my PC manually by right clicking on a file and selecting "Open With.." and check-marking "Always use this application to open this file type".What I want to do, is have my program make itself the default application for a file type with the press of a button.If it makes it easier, I'm writing a text editor and want to give the users the option of making it the default text editor for .txt &/or .rtf files.
How would i do to get the regkey from my program and then register it into the windows key register so that users can select Open With... [MyApplication]?
And this brings me to another question, how can i get the data from a file if someone opens my program with a file (Open With...)? Or else maybe how can i get the path to the file which opened my program so that i can retrieve the data from the file?
In my VS-2008 (VB.Net) application, I am using a background worker to make my main form more responsive. In case of any error (in DoWork event) I m displaying the error on another form. In this case main form cant be a parent of error form so if main form is clicked, error form go in the background (behind main form). I want to restrict the user to interact with the main form while error form is appearing. Is there any way to associate these two forms such that error form always appear in front of main form.
How do you associate a filetype, for example ".tkoen" (idk..), to the registry without restarting Explorer.exe for updating the filtypes..in Explorer.exe..?
I have problem to associate an Icon to the specific extention like *.nst which is my application's file.
I can associate icon by writing some registry entries where I have given the path of the icon file. but I don't want to do like this I actually want to embed the icon file into the EXE file and then set the ICON.
I have embeded the icons into EXE by doing some stuff but when I have given the icon index that icon is not associated with the file only first ICON is associated.
I am working on a project that we need to associate an image with a radio button. When the Radio button is selected the image show when its not the image doesnt show.
I am having a problem trying to get this work. I was told that we can use the radio buttons checked attribute and to set the flag but I cannot figure out how to do this.
I have this information but I do not understand what exactly it is referring to at this point:
When the program begins running, the focus goes to the control with the lowest tab index. Because that control is likely to be a radio button, one button will appear selected. You must either display the first flag to match the radio button or make the focus begin in a different control. You might consider beginning the focus on the button.
Set the Visible property of a control to the Checked property of the corresponding check box. That way, when the check box is selected, the control becomes visible.
Because all three selectable controls will be visible when the project begins, set the Checked property of the three check boxes to True at design time. Set the flag picture box to Visible = False so it wont appear at start up (if you plan to display the picture box at start up, its Visible property must be set to True.)
I finished creating my help file for my app using .chm program. Now, how do I go about associating that help file with my program so people can click on help and it's there. Do i need to bring it into my resources?
I have a windows form that has 18 checkboxes named CheckBox1 -> CheckBox18. Also i have a text file that i want to use to store whether the checkbox was checked from a previous session.[code]Now say 002's seventh character = 1 i want to to be able to change CheckBox2.checked to true without having to put in a long if..elseif... statement - so i need to somehow get the checkbox name to change dependant on the the first three characters.[code]
I am building my first VB2008 application and I am trying to figure out a way to make some check boxes being checked when an entry from a combo box is selected on top of these check boxes. More specific, I am trying to describe the services offered in 3 hotel room types. i.e. If the user selects from the combo box the room type "Economy" some extras will be automatically checked (TV, mini bar, etc). If the user selects "Premium" some more check boxes will be checked.
I'm trying to change/execute the example [URL]...onContext.aspx I've posted my project below. I'm getting a cross-threading error and I thought the point of all of this was to avoid that. (yes I realize I could just delegate... I'm trying to do something more complicated but am using this as a test bed)
I'm doing a school project in VB 2008 and I'm trying to get the buttons on the form to activate when you hit a given key. Like if I hit the "1" key, either on the numberpad or the keyboard, the "1" button would activate. I've tried the KeyDown method without sucess, but that might just be my code...The teacher suggested I use a txtbox instead of a lable for a display and then just disable all but number keys (which I can do, but that creates other problems with the input). I just want to be able to hit a given key, and have it correspond to a specific button. [And I can't use the ampersand hotkey thing... it underlines the txt in the button and makes it look ugly and it doesn't work with special characters]
i have a program which requires the user to pass it a folder path as the start up argument, i want to add in an association so when a user right clicks on a folder in windows in the context menu is for exampleI know to make associations for file types, and all my associations are added via my app it self not any kind of setup program.

on cloning a selected listviewitem from listview1 when a button is clicked to listview2. How do I achieve this? Here is the code I have but does not work exactly how I want it, it just makes a clone of all the listviewitems in listview1.
foreach (ListViewItem item in this.listView1.Items) this.listView2.Items.Add((ListViewItem)item.Clone());
On my datatable (I hope that's the correct word) I have two columns that I want to store color values. I changed the data type to "System.Drawing.Color".
However it would appear I cannot simply type in the string (e.g: "Color.Black") to add it to the database. And when using an update SQL query and make it look for color values on the form, it wants to convert them to string.
Is it possible to store color values like this in this way or do I have use another method?
I want to start a thread, which handles a class.That class should add a listviewitem into a listview on the main form.[code]No idea why that doesn't work.I really need threading, cause it would block the program.These codes are examples, the real one is with loops & stuff, so that blocks the program.
I have a ListView, wich its View property is set to LargeIcon and there isn't any ImageList attached to it.The thing is that ListViewItem's text overlaps next ListViewItem's text. With View set to Tile I have no problem at all, but It shows the items one below another.When I add columns header,I set their width to a large number,but it seems that ListViewItem doesn't care,I get the same mentioned effect.My question is wich property do I have to change to avoid ListViewItem's text overlapping?
Here is my problem, I have been learning about SendMessage and getting the Handles of Windows. In the following code example I show that I can get the number of Items in a ListView Control by API, but I have no idea of how to select an Item within the Control, ListView; in other words, how to select a ListViewItem:
I have a form that has a listview with a number of items on it. In certain circumstances, when I load the form, I want a particular item to be automatically selected. The user will select the item to be selected from another form, and I will pass this item to the form in question.
But how do I tell the listview 'hey, set this item as your selected item?" There isn't a writable 'SelectedItem' property.
