Is there any way to reduce this code, so that when I try to add another Textboxes I'll never have to retype a bunch of codes. I have basic knowledge n using Module and Class
Hi,
I have a program that has over 100 labels and over 40 textboxes. I was using the code below to save the text. However, when I open it, some of the text is in the wrong spot (for a label or textbox) and some of the text that shouldn't have been saved is. Is there a way that I can get all these labels' and textboxes' data saved? I would like to stick to the code somewhat if thats possible. I may be looking in the wrong direction too as I am very new. Thank you.
Private Sub SaveAsToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SaveAsToolStripMenuItem.Click

saveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2
saveFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory =
True
If saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
myStream = saveFileDialog1.OpenFile()
If (myStream IsNot Nothing) Then
Dim myStreamWriter As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(myStream)
myStreamWriter.WriteLine(txtName1.Text.ToString)
myStreamWriter.WriteLine(txtName2.Text.ToString)
myStreamWriter.Flush()
myStream.Close()
End If
End If

View 25 RepliesI've been trying to make up a Ghost Text Box, so that it shows some 'ghost' text when its contains nothing.
What i did was inherit from the normal textbox, and use OnPaint to show the ghost text, the User paint is switch on/off depending on if there is any text in the textbox.If i start (in the design) and add some text it all works as i expect at runtime, but the text does not get shown at design time (for some reason)
If i clear the text at design time, then it shows the ghosted text at design tim. At runtime the ghosted text is shown, but when you click in the box and hit a key, the key is shown in bold, which is odd as the font is not in bold.

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.

With VB, but I've got the few basics down, file naming, adding objects, naming objetcs, etc. But the reason I'm on here is because I cannot complete even the first step. Our form is 640 X 480, and we need to have two labels, both have vertical scrolls. I know how to add and resize the labels to meet my needs, but I do not know how to create scrolling labels. Or are they text boxes? On our bubble chart (Do you know what that means?) it says lblInformation. We are going to have clickable radio buttons which will update the lblInformation with info about each of the radio buttons.
View 7 RepliesI created a program that has serval labels on a form and a listview object. It has a button that when clicked reads a textfile and loads up values in the listview object. I then can click and drag text from the listview box to any label on the form and then the program removes the value from the listview box. Now, my question is how can I instruct VB to save these values in the text property of the labels so that the next time the program is loaded the labels will contain the values loaded during the last run time session?

View 6 Replies[URL]...In this program, you need to insert two Textboxes, four labels and one button. Click the button and key in the code as shown below. Note how the various arithmetic operators are being used. When you run the program, it will perform the four basic arithmetic operations and display the results on the four labels.Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I remember that in VB5 there was an "auto-redraw" property that needed to be turned on in order to make certain features refresh themselves. I'm having trouble with getting labels and text boxes to change in VB2005.A sample code snip would be
Label1.text = "Zero"
Sleep (1000)
Label1.text = "One"

I created a form with 2 labels 2 textboxes and a button. Basically it is a login from. When I launch the form it shows the blinking cursor in the 1st textbox(this is ok) but when i try to type nothing happens. Once i click the form(not the textbox-textbox works too but wanted to note it was the form) it works. I have tried doing textbox1.focus(). I have tried doing the form.focus(). Neither were successful. It may have nothing to do with focus but it seems to be that to me.

versus

The only difference that I could find was that the labels aren't cleared with .Clear() (or at least from what I inferred from my book that's not possible). Is there a noticeable speed difference or should I just clear both labels and txt boxes with String.Empty
