Can Whip Up A Program That Deals With Text Boxes, Buttons, Checkboxes
Apr 21, 2009
I can whip up a program that deals with text boxes, buttons, checkboxes, etc. fairly easily. I know how to deal with arrays and stuff like that, and I am just barely able to open/write to files (I don't quite have it down, but almost). However, when it comes to drawing graphics. Right now all I'm looking to do is create a function that will draw a pixel or really tiny rectangle at my command to use as the building block of drawing images. I saw some example code here:
Of how to have it draw a rectangle upon opening a form, and I was able to do that. But I guess I'm not quite sure how to make a function like that be performed when I do something like press a button (or just anywhere in a segment of code).It's probably because I don't understand this line:
[code...]
I understand that it makes a non-public sub called Form1_Paint, but I'm not quite sure about the arguments passed and what "Handles Me.Paint" really means. I'm not sure how to make this (if I can make it) into a function that I can call anywhere (in the button1.click code, for example) to make it display a pixel.
how I could do that? Either that, or just explain what the piece of code above is actually saying?
I've coded a Login form with two text boxes and two buttons goes to a Users database to validate the userid and password. When I click the OK button (button1) I get an error message on the highlighted line below(Dim Reader).
It states that no value is given for one or more required parameters. What parameters are they talking about?[code...]
I understand that currently vb.net message boxes support buttons like ok,cancel,yes,no,abort,retry.but i am wondering how do i customize my own message boxes such that i can rename the yes,no buttons to any text like delete or discard.
I need to be able to add (specific) special characters to text boxes. Problem is, there are five of them spread across two forms and three tabpages. What I'd like to do is bring up a form when the user presses something like "F2" while the text boxes are focused, then on that form would be a grid of buttons. When the user pushes a button, the character is added to the box. How do I get this form to reference the box that called it without passing a global variable or calling a public function? I tried Form3.Parent.Name, but that always seems to refer to nothing. Also, once this is done how can I get it to just insert a character where the cursor on the calling box is? It probably shouldn't even be on a form either since that will take the focus when it's called (which I don't want)
I need to create a form with radio buttons, text boxes, labels, etc.. This information needs to be pulled from a database. For instance, I have a form that displays information that needs to be inputed to a database, based on what test is being done for a specific product. Each product requires different tests. So each product may or may not have the same information that needs to be inputed..
What I have done is made a database and filled a table with each product and what tests apply. I then call that database after the product has been selected for the tests. It will then fill an array for that products information for what texts boxes and labels need to be shown. I wanna take this further and have it create a form through code and align all the controls to specific spots so that it will look nice. For example I wouldn't wanna create a control and have it be cut out of the form, or have other controls overlapping others.
I have a group box with 4 radio buttons and another groupbox with 4 text boxes.how do i write a short code to clear all text boxes and radio buttons within each box.i have written code the long way, ie..[code]but i think there is and easier way but i cannot find the statement.
I'm using vb.net. Basically, I have a drop down list, text box and a submit button. You choose a movie director from a drop down list, then type in a movie, click button and it adds the data to my database.There's another button which hides/shows drop down list, text box and submit button using Visible = True and Visible = False, but what I don't like about it is when it hides the things I said before, it leaves some white/empty space like if they are still there, but not visible.Is there anyway to put some kind of holder/container and place a button which when clicked could add my drop down list, text box and submit buttons to that place?
I am very new to visual basic and I am just learning how to make applications. I need to make an application that deals with carpet sizes. It is supposed to have 3 radio buttons and 3 checkboxes. The correct way it is supposed to work is that you enter a number in the room lenght textbox and a number in the room width texbox. Then it is supposed to calculate the room area in square feet then the carpet required for the room in sq yd and display this in labels. Then using a radio button you select one of 3 grades of carpet with a price per square yard. After this it is supposed to total the amount due for the carpet. Also you can check as many extras as you want which are displayed in checkboxes. When the calculate button is clicked the application is suppsed to calculate all of this at once and display an amount due. I have everything working so far.
I have problems when I get to the code for calculating the amount due. The application only acknowledges when I have one checkbox checked. It doesn't acknowledge if anything else is checked. I also think I should mention that one of the checkboxes is supposed to calculate the installation at $1.50 per sq yd. I can't get that check box to work properly either. Here is the code I have so far.
I would like to replace the checkboxes on some of my menuitems with radio buttons so they act mutually exclusive of each other like in device manager. I found a bit of code in the Visual Studio Help that shows how to do this, but I am unsure how to implement the changes. how you access a form's constructor event from within Visual Studio 2010? The code follows:
' This method is called from the constructor of the form to set up the menu ' items. Public Sub ConfigureMyMenus()
I want make VB program that has two text boxes and one button. Text boxes are for Proxy server IP and port. And button is just confirming it. So, user just types in Proxy server IP and port and presses button, and now, when he go to internet, he is anonymous. Now, I need code that sets proxy on after button click.
I am trying to follow the book 'Sams teach yourself VB 2008'. It was going well until the end of hour 4. For exercise 1 I have created the form with a button and two text boxes, but cannot work out the code I need to move text between the two boxes. The Object Browser does not seem to help - am I reading it wrong?
I am going to make an urdu application in vb.net. In this application I want to make textbox, combobox, List and other controls having the capability to handle urdu language.
How do I start writing a program that has 6 text boxes. A person would enter a member number if they have one, number of movies rented at $1.80 a piece. A Text box should then display Total Rental Price, and if a member number was entered, a 10% discount is given (the total of the discount shows up in another text box) and after there discount is applied the Amount Due is displayed in yet another Text Box.
This is all supposed to happed when the customer clicks on a calculation button named: Button1
This is what I have so far, but I don't even know if this is correct, as I am getting 1 error relating to a name not being declared. Please help and clue me in to where to start!
Public Class Bonanza Private Sub memberNumberBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles memberNumberBox.TextChanged
I am trying to write a program that will compare two strings in different text boxes. Then it must add 1 to a third text box for every time a letter appears in both text boxes. So for example if textbox1 said ABCDF and textbox 2 said ABTR it should return the number 2 because A and B appear in both. This is what I have so far
Public Class Form1 Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles string1.TextChanged End Sub
Private Sub Compare_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Compare.Click
Dim string1 As String Dim string2 As String Dim Result As Integer End Sub
Function stringcompare(ByVal string1 As String, ByVal string2 As String, ByVal string3 As String) As Integer stringcompare(string1 As string, string2 As string) End Function End Class
Ive got over than 120 groupboxes in my project which Contains radio buttons & Checkboxes control How can I save & retrieve the selection setting for these huge amounts of groupboxes when close my form and restart it?
I have a problem that I can not seem to get. I have a program that moves a picture to what ever location the user puts into the text boxes. It works as I wanted it to but my problem is when a user puts in anything but a number into the text box it gives an error, I want a message to pop up and let them know that a numbers needs to be entered not a text.

i'm new at vb.net (though i have extensive vb6 experience and oracle experience), and i need a sample program/project which uses multiple queries (of the same oracle database namespace) to display counts in text boxes.user will use a pull down list to select action from there.
I know how to use the default buttons item, but is there any way to achieve the style of multiline buttons (or maybe rather, "clickable text"?) like shown below?
The situation is that I have an interface for the user to select what kind of file he wishes to establish, and there has to be a brief description under the larger, main line of text.
I'm only planning to run this on Windows 7, so I don't need to worry about backwards compatibility with older versions of Windows
I am trying to get 2 group boxes with radio buttons. I would like to check a radio button in group box 1 and have a corresponding radio button in group set 2 get automatically checked based on what I check in group box1. I am trying to do this in VB.
I am new to vb and I have a question about button and images. I need to know how to connect images with buttons. So when I click a certain button the image must show up. One button is suppose to show three different images in three different image boxes. So how I can connect buttons with image boxes.
I'm creating a windows form application, which contains radio buttons, that when checked and the button is clicked, display a certain image in an image box based on which radio button was checked. I'm having trouble with assigning the certain image to the radio button. Can I use If/ElseIf statements?
I have to create a program for customers buying a new care can pick options for that car.The starting cost of the car is $26,000Im having trouble figuring out where to add the starting value. And also, how will i calculate all the options into the total along with the tax.
Public Class Form1 Dim dbltotal As Double Dim dbltax As Double
Public Sub RandomNumbers() Dim s(4) As String Dim RandomNumber As Byte
I don't know if you can tell what I am trying to do here, so I will try to explain. I what to create for random numbers and place them into for different text boxes. I also would like to do this with combo boxes and their selected indexes. So if the combo box has 10 items in it; the new selected index would be the random number generated above.
I'm in the middle of creating an application that will be used to input customer information whilst the customer is speaking to someone over the phone. This involves the customer giving the employee information such as name, address, postcode etc and the employee inputting that information into text boxes and combo boxes that are in the application.
What I would like to be able to do is after the customers information is given over the phone, I need to be able to send that information to a database which will probably most likely be done by button click. In this case, I'm using Microsoft Access. I'm also hoping that I can do this within Visual Basic coding.
The database is set out with multiple tables which include a customer table and a ticket table and both have multiple fields such as first name, surname in the customers table. Both of these tables are in use with the information that the customer gives over the phone.
I've already asked on other forums and people are where replying giving me third party programs that I could use to implement this, something I don't really want to do.

Im trying to make a program that allows the user to view additional information via moving the cursor over the label to view (make visble) additional information, in the form of text boxes and/or picture boxes. How will i go about doing this?
Okay, here's my dilemma. I want certain applications to run when they are checked in a check box and when the submit button is pressed. I already know that you can launch an application by using
