Change The Text In A Menu Entry?
Sep 27, 2010
I need to change the Text property in several menu entries, for example to display several of the last files that were opened in my App.
I save the names of the last files opened, in the proper sequence, in a file that is called when my App starts.
When the App starts, the names stored in the file are assigned to the menu fields, such that the user only has to click on the desired file to load.
When the user opens a file not listed, the new name is added at the beginning of the list, and the file names are re-assigned to the Text property of the menu entries.
This works fine in VB6, but when I re-assign the string in the Text property, some menu entries are updated, but some are not.

For my webbrowser I have a favorites system. I want the user to be able to type in what he wants his display text to be (for the button text like if the button directs you to google he should be able to type in the text box google and have it display) How would I do this with a menu button? By menu button I mean a button in one of the dropdown boxes. Basicly I want to change the text from fav 1 to whatever the user puts in the text box.

I am having trouble getting the Student Name entered in the Student Name Form to change the Text titles of the GroupBox's on the Main Form and Schedule Form. I understand the logic of what needs to be done to some extent, but I am having trouble coming up with the correct coding.
Below is a snippet of the Student Name Form code that I tried most recently just to see if I could get any change to happen to the other 2 Forms when the Accept Name button was clicked. As of yet, I cannot get a change to happen at all in the groupboxes of the other Forms.[code...]

I've built a couple of Apps successfully, but having published them to a Network Folder, Non-Admin Users can't install them themselves because the Install attempts to create an Entry in the Start Menu. There may be other Security issues (I need 4 of the permissions included if I publish it as a Partial Trust Applications, which I think affect this) after this point that I'm not aware of, but yeah, it fails when trying to create a Start Menu item -
+ Access to the path 'C:Documents and SettingsJameOStart MenuProgramsMynas' is denied.
I think excluding the right is just part of the SOE, but is there some way I can create this and have it NOT create a Start Menu item, haven't been able to find any?

In my winform app in VB.NET I want to use the localization option. But i have a few questions/problems. I'm using a menu strip to select an other language. But it seems that is doesn't change my menustip text to my selected language. It does change my labels, buttons, and textboxes but menu strips don't seem to change when I choose another language. Also is it possible to get those resx files such as MyForm.fr-FR.resx compiled so it isn't an external file outside my app? Or to get those files in an Language folder at the same location of my app, so i don't have all those fr-FR & nl-Nl folders in the same location as my program?

i am pulling together a cash register that will allow both bar code product entry and manual key entry.imagine if you have a tin of beans in front of you, in a small corner shop they would probably type "47" and then hit "Produce". Fairly straight forward as I have the button Produce to act upon my code and update my salestrans.mdb but,if you scan the bar code I want the same form to handle both 'real' actions, (i assume that keyboard emulation barcode scanner includes "ENTER" after providing 13 digits)....
Q. in perhaps a long winded way i want to know how to kick off an event based on the "ENTER" key being activiated by the barcode scanner)?i do not want to have to hit any buttons if i am scanning bar codes.

What is the code for ignoring the case of an entry while checking to see if the entry is correct or not... (i.e. in a flashcard program... given definition, asks for the name) I don't want the case of a character to affect whether the answer is correct or not.

I'm trying to set up Name entry in a text box, and I don't know how to make it so it is Letters only, not alphanumeric. (spaces too) How do I set up a date label for the form using the current date? On a try statement, I'm attempting to set up two different Quantity exceptions, one for radio buttons and one for quantity in a text box, is this possible or do I have to break it up into 2 statements? Or do i have to set up a numeric if statement like I'm trying to do with the name entry.

I am trying to make a program with a bar code reader for the first time. I am programming with VB 2005. I want to differentiate a bar code entry to keyboard entry. My questions:
1. Does bar code reader generate a keydown (or keypress) event for each of the digits of the entry? For example, if the barcode read: 1234567890, does that mean that there will be 10 keydown (or keypress) events for that single barcode that was read?
2. I have read from the posts that the best way to differentiating keyboard vs bar code input is to analyse the time between keystroke (for less than certain number of milliseconds).

i have to make a program thats a telephone directory. All the information is in different text files. The user has to be able to delete and add people to the directory, i have made it so they can add peple no problem but im having a hard time with the code for deleting them. The questions requires that they only type in the persons name and then they are delted but in the text file they are listed as Fred,123-1234 so when they hit delete the person does not get deleted becuase it is registering there full name as Fred,123-1234 i need it so that it just sees the word Fred and deletes it heres the code. I cant figure out how to do it itried using a query but that didnt work either it just looped infinitely.

Okay, I've got a datagridview in my WinForms app that auto-builds the column list from a datatable schema. It's working fine, except that it allows the user to enter values too long for the database field. For example, I have a "name" field that is defined in the Sql-Server database as a varchar(50). Is there any way to limit that cell (column?) so that it only accepts 50 characters? Right now it lets them enter anything and throws an exception later.

My latest project is to write an app that has a drop-down menu where I can choose different office locations. Once a choice is made I want a handful of different buttons which would vary between location choice. When a button is clicked it will install a printer. I've got the button and install part down but don't know where to start with the dropdown and showing different options upon choice.

I have two menu items from which I choose the interface language of a program (English or French).I want either of them to be chosen, both can not be chosen at the same time. I went over the properties of ToolStripMenuItem object and saw three properties that are confusing (Checked, CheckState and CheckOnClick), how can I mix them so that I get that functionality, I mean that when I check the French, the English gets unchecked and vice versa.
