View 4 RepliesI need to create a sample question types web form in VB.NET which allow user to the following:he user selects the control type from dropdown (TextBox, RadioButton, ListBox etc). Generate controls dynamically based on the control type on the webform.It will always show the TextBox (where user writes the question) and (generated control - TextBox, RadioButton, ListBox etc) and save those values to the database.
View 3 RepliesI have VB 2008 Express and I am also new to VB. My problem is I cannot find any assistance with creating an Event that is attached to a Control that I inserted on a dynamically creeated TabPage. I call the "create_tab" sub (below) that creates a New TabPage and add some Controls (Button, two textboxes). Now, that I have the TabPage (and there could be multiple), I want to bind an Event to these items. So when a user Clicks on the Button in TabPage1, for example, a Sub executes where I can manipulate the data contents of the textboxes. Here's My code that creates the tabpages dynamically.

I know how to add a item(checkbox) to a toolstrip dynamically, but I want to add a checkbox which is exists in a form. I've tried using the code
[Code]...
but this makes the already existing checkbox, go to the top left of screen and when the toolstrip is click it appears. So I want to add the checkbox to the menu, without going to top left corner,
Can't find any thing on google. How do i keep the controls aded to the toolstrip to always show?
They only show when got focus or mouse hovers over and it only shows the outline
I want to add Tool Tips to a the controls in a ToolStrip. I add a Tool Strips control to the form and there is no property for it, only for the generic Tool Tip which doesn't have the same features.
View 9 RepliesI have 3 form :
* MDIForm (Main Menu)
* frmMemberList (To Display Member List)
* frmMember (To CRUD Member)
In MDIForm I have ToolStrip where there some buttons (add, modify, delete, preview and close)
I want to create an event where if you click the Add button he will call frmMember
i have a question about toolstrip button.example: i have 20 form consisting MasterItem,MasterPart,MasterProduct,etc.all form have 6 button:New,Edit,Save,Delete,Cancel,Exit Button in toolstrip.the problem is : if i have a few change in toolstrip,I must change all 20 form. that's waste my energy and time.
i want to create 1 toolstrip but can use by 20 form. so if i have change,i don't need change 20 toolstrip. when using PHP,i am using include "menu.php".and this file "menu.php" can use by anyform in PHP. so if i change "menu.php",that's effect to any file using "menu.php"
how does one add buttons with images and text to a tool strip at runtime. So far I have come up with this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
ToolStrip1.Items.Add("Test")
End Sub
Can I use tools commonly for all the winforms? How to create common toolstrip?
For example : I have one toolstrip.it has one delete button.
All winform has one datagrid and data comes from differs tables.
Now I want to remove the data from the any datagrid all winforms.
I really want to make use of the toolstrip and databinding but these two technologies keep conflicting with each other. I think the root cause is something to with the fact that the toolstrip buttons don't recieve focus in the normal way.
I invite you to try the following:-
1. Create a form and put some text boxes a tool strip with a save button on it.
2. Write a query or sproc to get a datatable back and bind your text boxes to the field in the datatable.
3. In the code behind your Save ToolStripButton put some code that makes an arbitrary change to a field on the dataset (it doesn't matter whther this field is bound to a text box or not). eg:-
m_DataTable.Rows(0).Item("CommissionRatePerc") = "0.0000"
4. Put a breakpoint in the save and run the form.
5. Make some changes in the text boxes. Do not leave the last text box but rather click save while a text box whose contents you have edited still has focus.
6. When your code hits the breakpoint, query the value of the data table field that is bound to the text box you were editing when you clicked save - it will still contain the unedited value. Unless you do something about it that unedited value is going to get saved back to your DB.
We did get around this problem by explicetely setting the focus to another control on the form before saving. That worked most of the time because it prompts the text box to flush it's value back to the datatable (nb EndEdit does not work, although you'd have expected it to). However, and this is the reason I suggested you add a line of code that changed a value in the underlying datatable in step 3, if you change a value in code in this way before the value from the text box get's flushed back then it doesn't seem to matter what you do, the user's current edit is simply lost. They will still show in the text box, though, leading your user to believe that the change has been committed when it hasn't. Our final solution is that we never ever change a value in the adtaset in the code behind our toolstrip buttons. That's working but it's a pretty big restriction.
I have a tool strip menu item who's collection is filled from a subroutine that loads all available com ports on the computer at for load. I know how to generate a click event for menu items that are filled, but not if they haven't been filled already. I guess it doesn't need to be a click event. It just needs to do something that I can get the .text and use it to configure a serial port.

I understand the page lifecycle and how i need to add the dynamic controls on page_init if I want to take advantage of viewstate. Also I know that I should try to avoid dynamic controls when possible. The dynamic controls are created depending on an object that is created from custom event arguments sent from a custom treeview. Problem is I need viewstate so I need to create them in page_init but I don't have the event args to create the object that tell me what controls to add until later in the lifecycle.
Private Function GetEventArgs() As npTreeViewEventArgs
Dim control As Control = Nothing
Dim e As npTreeViewEventArgs = Nothing

I use this in page_init to create my object and controls.
I've successfully been able to add controls (labels, images, buttons, etc) to a panel control (using VB/ASP). This panel control, I refer to it as "insertpanel". Then I add this panel to the main panel on my webpage which I made during design time. The problem I run into is that when I add multiple controls of any type to the panel, they are all added in line with each other. I tried giving my image some css-styling of[code]....
View 1 RepliesI am looking for the best way to dynamically arrange the location of labels (or any control for that matter) during runtime in a Windows Forms application using VB.net or C# in VS2008.I have a control that displays messages created by users.This control has a panel docked at the top which holds the header information for each message, called pnlHeader There are 8 labels: 4 of them display static descriptions (e.g. "To", "From", "Created Date", "Completed Date")And the other 4 display the relevant data for those descriptions. (Passed in during runtime from a MS SQL 2005 DB).Static labels are named: lblCreatedDateLbl and dynamic ones: lblCreatedDate The application runs on monitors of various size and resolution, therefor I would like for all of the labels to arrange themselves with equal spacing in pnlHeader, based on the current width of the panel.
At first, I had simply created the labels in the Designer and used Anchors (half of the lables were set to (Top, Left) and the other half to (Top, Right)). This solution worked for most scenarios, but did not always provide a consistent solution, so I decided to add the controls in code instead.
I thought it would be easier to work with the labels by creating a panel for each corresponding pair. So pnlCreatedDate would hold lblCreatedDateLbl and lblCreatedDate I wrote 2 methods: 1 to define each label and add it to the relevant panel: Sub AddLabels
and another to determine the width of the panels and set the correct location: Sub SetLoc Currently, AddLabels runs in the constructor after InitializeComponent() and SetLoc is called after the data has been passed in from the database.
I've tried making minor changes and tweaks to the width and size parameters, enabling and disabling AutoSize, but nothing returns a consistent solution, instead either all the description labels are misplaced, or do not appear at all or completely whack locations come up.
Private Sub AddLabels()
'Label Created By:'
lblCreatedByLbl.Location = New Point(0, 0)

I'm wondering, when I add dynamically controls in runtime in the form - is there a way to save this controls, and they appear the next time when you run the application?
I'm using VB9.
I'm developing a website in visual studio 2008 using (asp.net/vb)I have to allow registered users to build pages and add controls that are already defined by the same userMy problem is how to build this page dynamically?In other words, I'd like to make like any CMS (e.g. Joomla). CMSs allow us to make new pages and add our controls then save them..
View 1 RepliesI am working on a project for a handheld in Visual Studio 2008 where I need to add a group of labels to a panel that correspond to a record on the database. The record is a "Pass/Fail" Record. So, if the record is a "Fail", the failed items will be added below the main group of labels; therefore, many child groups of labels will be added below the main group, which is theoretically the header record. I am using a second panel to add the failed items. My issue is how to dynamically add, name, and position the failed item labels and panels. Below, I have included a sample of what I am trying to accomplish.
View 12 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is dynamically create a bunch of dropdown lists and then I want to loop through them and update the database with those values, but the problem I am facing is that I create the dropdown lists, but then when I go back to loop through them they are no longer in the panel. I don't know why but when I am debugging I have a count of 50 controls in pnlTeacherSelect right up until I press the button that calls prcChoose.

Using ASP.Net MVC1 and am dynamically creating the html in a model that is then dropped into the view and rendered at run time.
My view is a single page that looks like this:
<%@ Page Language="VB" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %>
<%=(ViewData("Content"))%>
This dynamically created content is mostly dropdownlist boxes in the format of
<form method=post action="/questions/nextBatch">
<div id="text">What is your preferred drink?</div>
<select>
[Code]....
Is it is possible to perform validation on the dropdowns lists to ensure that a value has been selected? If any of the dropdownlists that still have the default value (the "please make a selection" text) the page is then redisplayed with the font colour of the question or dropdownlist box changed to say red?
I'm from the Webforms world and have made the switch over to MVC (which I really like!) and I know there are some pretty slick validation tools out there but you seem to have to account for them within the view itself.
I cannot pass a HTML helper through the viewdata of the controller as it does not render unless it has been coded directly into the view itself.
Also, I'm looking for a pure asp.net solution as I cannot use javascript due to accessiblity concerns. I can access all the values of the dropdowns without any problems throug the formscollection object but from there I'm a bit stuck.
like this i have n number of questions in my word document. so my need is i need to read the questions and fill it up in the datagridview with yes or know chek box. my datagridview appearance would be as follows. so the peson who is viewing the questions and can make yes or know option using the check box.if the person chooses no option he has to enter the reason the reason column. so i have to do this dynamically. means that binding datagridview with checkbox ,textbox, data dynamically. how to do this please because after the datas entered in the datagridview i have to loop through rows and i have populate into another word document. so please if there is any sample

I have been set a project from school to design snake in VB.Net but i am struggling to dynamically add the user control which acts as one of the dots in the body of the snake. Every time i add a dot on to the snake the previous vanishes. I assume this is due to me overwriting the previous one by creating a new instance of the object but i cannot find a way of adding a new one in.[code]I have tried using body(i) and other ways of adding a new instance of the object but am stuck.The subroutine will be called up when a new control is needed.
View 1 RepliesI am dynamically displaying some controls in a TableLayoutPanel. The problem I'm faced with is that I want the controls to be displayed in a specific order, instead of just filling the TableLayoutPanel from 0,0 till the end of the panel.

1st row is for buttons only, 2nd row for combobox, 3rd row for radio button.
I want it to be displayed like this:

I have a code that dynamically generates some pictureBox-es. What I want to do is to save them so that they will aslo appear the next time the application is opened. Also i don't want to use an external configuration file so that the controls are generated on file-read.
Also I also have some controls that are generated by the designer
In my application I'm dynamically generating multiple rows of dropdowns and populating it with the field names based on the selected table value. Based on the field name selected I want to display a tool tip containing the selected field data. how I can use the tool tip for dynamically generated columns.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create an app that adds tabpages into a tabcontrol which has a several controls on each tabpages. However how do I access those controls?lets say the controls I add are named label1 and label2. the tabpage is named infoTab1.
If I do inftoTab.infoTab1.label1.Text = "some text" I get an error saying infoTab is not a member of 'system.windows.forms.tabcontrols' cause in design time it isn't added yet.So how is this actually done? am I on the right track?Any tutorials are more then welcome, tried google but only get basic concept stuff comes out it or trying the wrong keywords.
