View 10 RepliesI'm making a program to open specific web pages with button clicks. I have a form with the buttons and 'WebBrowser1'. Everything works ok, except that when clicking on certain links within a website, it opens a full-screen window of Internet Explorer.How can I prevent it from opening a new window. It should just navigate to the link within the WebBrowser1 window.
View 6 RepliesI've created a very simple form with one button on. I need it so when the form runs, it opens in the bottom right hand corner of the screen regardless of the resolution. It also needs to be always on top of all other applications.
When the buttons pressed, i need it to close all iexplore instances and reopen a fresh instance.
I've tried to search for the answer but to no avail.

View 9 RepliesIs there a way to direct a form in VB.NET to open and maximize in the second monitor. That is if there are two monitors displayed, to have the form load in the second window maximized by default?

I use DocTools to Create a Compiled HTML Help File. I want to link to a specific topic in the help file from my program, but the filenames of the html files are generated randomly.
Is there any way to open a CHM to a specific topic by name?

What I need to do is link the EXE to a dll that is in another directory out there somewhere. But I don't want to use the assembly namespace. I want to be able to set the direct path to the DLL. So basically this is how its setup
J:\AppBar.exe 'The executable that will need access to the
C:\testdlls\EnvVarsPro.dll 'The DLL that the executable needs to be able to find.
So far I've come to the conclusion that the answer lays somewhere in the app.config file. This is what I've got for code...
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<!--<probing privatePath="root\res\applib"/>-->
<dependentAssembly>

I believe this is setup write. The publicKeyToken is set to null because its not strongly signed and I'm not exactly sure what culture is just yet. But for whatever reason it just doesn't work.You can see a commented line that does work but only if the executable accessing the DLL is in the directory above root. In order to bring organization to my file structure I need to do it with everything kind of put away and not smashed into one directory.
ok got a excel export I need to down load.I must log into the site to get it, special not standard login so I can't automate that.But once I login, I can use a browser to download the file direct from a URL. Works great, but I need to make a program to do this download portion.

I am trying to use direct sound to play a wav file, so I may animate a picture box while the wav file is playing. I have made a device object and a secondary buffer object and when I run the program I get an error message(see attached image), but after I click continue, the wav file plays and it plays every time I click the play wav button. I am using a test project to work out the bugs before I implement the direct sound in my other project. Below is the the code I am using. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? The code needs a form named form1, and a button named xPlayButton.

Ive been learning to use visual basic doing this and i know the code needs clearing up but i made an app that is storring values in an mdf mysql datatable. I made the app so you will direct it to a database through a menu where you select the file.. This works allright on my machine but..When i put it on another machine with .net 4.0 installed it still complains about Mysql problems..So im guessing theres a part missing. Is there something i need to install on the other computer using my app?.
If so what?. Maybe theres another way i can connect to a database without haveing to install stuff on other computers to make it work?.

I wonder if it is possible to find a specific row and specific columns in data base file (Access) . You see , I am using a DataGridView control to show only SOME of the columns (fields) of a table from an Access file . For example , lets say that in the DataGridView control I only show the following fields :Field1 , Field2 and Field3 .Now , when the user selects an entry in the DataGridView control , I want to insert the text from Field4 into a text box on the form .
The problem , however , is that I don't know how to get the specific row in the data base file and also I don't know how to get the text in column (field) Field4 of that row .One thing that might be important is that the index of the row in the data base file is not necessarily the same with the index of the current row in the DataGridView control . This is because in the DataGridView control the rows are order by the contents in the ID Field .ol .
