View 2 RepliesI am trying to build a program that has a Dropdown menu (Combobox) where you select between a list of items like
xbox
ps2
ps3
wii
then once you select one of the options the program will bring you to a new window (In the same window) with a new box that has a list depending on which word you chose earlier. As an example.
If you chose xbox on the first window it will bring you to a window with a new list like
fighting game 2009
fighting game 2010
fighting game 2011
then if you select fighting game 2011 you would get another window that showed a list that had a list of characters from that game.
Guy One
Funny Hat Guy
Big Nose Guy
Dead Guy
Beast Thing
Funny Turtle Thing
Then in the new window you get a selection of options for the character you selected.
Special Skills
Combo Moves
Unlockable Content
Then if you select one of those you get a new window that has the lists. for example.
If you chose Special Skills show the list of special skills like the following.
Uppercut: Down + Y
Face Smasher: Back, Forward, B
and maybe beside the list of moves it could display an image of a Screen shot that shows the move (Or not if it is too complicated).
I'm a beginner VB.Net programmer using VS 2008.I'm planning a new winform project whose main form should look more or less like this:
[Code]...
The user can either choose from the Main Menu (by clicking an item) or enter the item number in the textbox. For example, if the user clicks DoSomething3 in the Main Menu (or alternatively enters 3 in the textbox), another form will be opened and hide the main form.What would be the best way to implement it?Specifically, I would like to know how I make so that choosing from the menu and entering a number in the textbox fire the same event.
I am wanting to build a menu from multiple xml files in a central location this will be to help with adding crystal reports after application has been deployed to an end user.I am able to get the list of all the xml files in a folder it is just the adding the ReportName to the different menu buttons i have set up.
Dim dirs As String() = Directory.GetFiles(Application.StartupPath & "Reports", "*.xml")
Dim dir As String For Each dir In dirs Dim xe As XElement = XElement.Load(dir)Next
I am trying to build a nice-looking menu that allows users to select certain items. When they hover over the items, a nice highlight color fades in and then out when they leave the item. Anyways, it looks very nice, but I don't want to have to use a "page" style. (e.g., page 1 contains 6 items, click "Next" to go to the next page of 6 itesm) I'd like to allow the user to scroll through the items. I'll develop my own GUI for the scrollbar, however I have absolutely no idea where to start on actually fitting all of the items into like a 400x200 box, and allowing the user to scroll up and down through the items. The items are actual controls (e.g. each item contains a picturebox, a couple of labels, a couple of buttons collectively).
View 3 RepliesI added a new application recently and I find there is no Configuration Manager. I went to Tools-->Settings and checked Expert Settings, but Configuration Manager does not show up in the Build Menu. It only shows Build Project and Publish Project. I also tried to add Configuration Manager to the tool bar - it was added, but it is grayed out.
I'm trying to get the compiler Configuration Manager to show up. By the way, all of my 8 other VB 2010 Express projects have a Configuration Manager option in the build menu. However, none of those 8 projects were started as a new application in VB2010 - they were all conversions of old VB6 applications (first converted with VB2008, and then with VB2010).
current version is 2008 I'm trying to build an application with a simple MENU. When the user clicks on a Menu Item i want the container to show some controls, now when the user clicks another Menu Item, the container needs to change and show other controls, and so on with every menu Item the user clicks, one at a time.
I thought of panels showing and hiding for every menu Item clicking, but that would use a lot of memory as ALL the controls would be created, some of them just not showing. I also though of an MDI application, but i dont want multiple forms (with the menu bar) opening inside one form. I just want the actual container of one form to change.
I publish a VisualBasic 2008 windows application, from the Build menu,but when I install it by running the installation's setup.exe, an unusual popup window showing Windows connected to the Internet pops momentarily, and then the application opens and runs.But the application's .exe is not in Start > Programs, or on the desktop, or anywhere.Publishing and installation worked perfectly a few weeks ago.
View 1 RepliesI need to display an two-column editable grid not bound to a database. I took a look at ListView with Mode=Details, but it appears that only cells in the first column can be edited. I then took a look at DataGridView, and am having two issues:
1. When editing a cell, it adds a new row: [url] How can I prevent this?
2. I don't like the grey background and would like the grid to fill the whole space, right and below.
BTW, if you know of a good tutorial on using the DataGridView unbound, I'm interested. [Code]
I am wanting to create a menu based on items in my MS SQL database i have 3 tables
FormTbl
FormID - Int Eg (1)
FormName - nvarchar(50) Eg (Form1)
[CODE]...................
I can get the form names to be populated in to the menu and can open it my question is how do i set where the menu items will be placed. Eg File with FormHierarch 0 will be the very first one. Exit with FormHierarch 0.1 will be the very first one under File
Private Sub Main_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim menu As New MenuStrip()
Dim dst As DataTable = User.MenuItems(Me.ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text)

When I use the Publish command in the Build menu pillar nothing happens expcept for a few seconds showing the wait cursor. This was working a week or two back but I have now installed sp1 for Visual Studio 2010 - is this a bug or is there some way. I can get this working again. I cannot access the project properties either, which is a known problem with SP1, so how to edit the project.vbproj file.

In VB 2008 Express, in the top menu, there is "Build" (Between Project and Debug), but it's not there in VB 2010 Express. I tried to find an option for it in Tools, but I can't find it. I can use the Build menu in VB2008 to build an .exe that shows up in the "Release" folder. What can I do to make an .exe as a release, so that I can implement it? If I was to use the .exe in the "Debug" folder, I can only run it in Debug mode.
In VB2010, I can right-click on the area near the toolbar and choose "build", which makes 2 buttons appear. I can click on the Build" button, but it does not create a new .exe in the "Release". Sorry if the solution is really simple, but I am a newbie, and I've only recently converted to VB 2010 Express. I can't believe how difficult this problem is!
how to build database

View 6 RepliesI am really stugling with this an was hoping that someone has done this in the past and can lend some guidance, I have had a look on Google but I only seem to find examples of one parent and one child.Anyway back to the problem, I have a treeview on a form and I want to allow the user to create a tree structure of their choice. What I mean by that is no limit to parent and child combinations, so basically have the same functionality as in Window Explorer.Now comes the problem, what I want to be able to do is store this tree view hierarchy in a database, so that when they add a new node to the treeview it is stored in the database at the correct level. Then if the user closes the form and re-opens it loads the treeview hierarchy from the database.

Trying to build a front end for a new database I built at work, and I am having a problem.

I'm a Quite new to Visual Basic 2008. I have to build a database application for one of my assignments and one of the problems I'm having is to build a form that will be used to search a customer from a Customers table. The database is from access2007.
I have to have 4 radio buttons on the form which will be the options to search the customer by, so I can search by Customer ID, Customer Name, City and postcode. When I select one of those options I need to enter the phrase I'm looking for within a text box I have called TextBoxSearch then press a command button to perform that search but I'm not sure how to do this.
The customer ID is the 1st row, Customer name is the 3rd row, City is the 4th row and the postcode is the 5th row. How do i tell the program to go to that row and grab the detials based on the text entered from the text box? and display only those detials on the datagrid view?

I have a past experience with visual Foxpro and SQL. Now, I need to build a database with multiple data files (say 100 files), each data file with millions of records, each record with dozens of fields.Then, each data file is linked with other files by using different fields. Primary data is in English. Then there would be a translation of the English data is in another language. Primary data in English is stored in separate files whereas the translated data is stored in separate data files.
