am designing a project in vb 2008 but i would like you to help me a code that adds items in a combobox with a drop down and also a code that clears all text boxes in a form if i click a refresh button.
View 1 RepliesI'm using vb.net. Basically, I have a drop down list, text box and a submit button. You choose a movie director from a drop down list, then type in a movie, click button and it adds the data to my database.There's another button which hides/shows drop down list, text box and submit button using Visible = True and Visible = False, but what I don't like about it is when it hides the things I said before, it leaves some white/empty space like if they are still there, but not visible.Is there anyway to put some kind of holder/container and place a button which when clicked could add my drop down list, text box and submit buttons to that place?
View 1 RepliesI have a pop up form that contains a listbox. Right now I am telling it exactly which text boxes I want to be able to drag and drop to, but I was just told to have it drag and drop to every text box on the main form.The main form with the text boxes has a bunch of tabs on it that hold each section. Each section has text boxes, so how would I code it so they are all capable of allowing drag/drop without specifying each one separately?
This is the code from my pop up form:
vb
Private Sub txtDropIn_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Dim DropInTextbox As TextBox = CType(sender, TextBox) Dim TextToDrop As String = CStr(e.Data.GetData(GetType(String))) 'get rid of leading " - " if there isn't 'anything in the textbox If String.IsNullOrEmpty(MainWin.TextBox1.Text) Then TextToDrop = TextToDrop.TrimStart(CChar(" -

I am working on converting an excel spreadsheet I use everyday at work into a VB program.The problem I am running into is that i don't know how to handle a current issue.I have a set of text boxes that accept values, these values are then used to calculate an answer and that answer populates another text-box.The problem I have is that I need at least 10-15 rows of these text-boxes and they all need to use the same code.Each row of text boxes will have to be named different but the code to perform the calculations will be the same they just need to use the data from each row.Does that make sense?I know there is a way to do this but I have no idea where to start looking.I am using Microsoft VB2008 Express edition by the way.
View 6 RepliesHow can I refresh my form? I have a button that clears all data from a text file, and the text file is displayed in a secondary tab on my form. When the user views the second tab, they have the option to press the clear button, but I would like the form to refresh so they can see that the data has been cleared. How can I do this?

Basically when I open test123.txt it should countain "Hello World" but not really, only " World" is there.
I use a text file to store the settings from my program.Now when i save the settings the text file gets created and everything works correctly. I can load the settings without any error.Now when i quit my program and star it up again clicking the load button will clear out any data in my text file. So the file still exist but it empty.It happens when my program runs this line of code.
Dim o_read As system.IO.streamReader = system.IO.File.OpenText("C: est.txt")
That just tells o_read that it is a stream reader and which file to read.How does my file get cleared out by that?
I am trying to follow the book 'Sams teach yourself VB 2008'. It was going well until the end of hour 4. For exercise 1 I have created the form with a button and two text boxes, but cannot work out the code I need to move text between the two boxes. The Object Browser does not seem to help - am I reading it wrong?
View 14 RepliesI have 81 text boxes on a form and would like to create a text array in code that will equate to these boxes on the form. Once I've assigned each text box from the form to the array entry, I'd just like to work with the array - then have the actual text boxes on the form reflect the changes made to the array.
View 4 RepliesI have a group box with 4 radio buttons and another groupbox with 4 text boxes.how do i write a short code to clear all text boxes and radio buttons within each box.i have written code the long way, ie..[code]but i think there is and easier way but i cannot find the statement.
View 1 RepliesThe error it has is that when one of the text boxes is changed the code changes all of them triggering every single function to activate. Is there a simpler solution other then recoding it from the start? also each different Private Sub is identical basically.

I know the code is very brute forced & sloppy but its the only way i really know how to do it.
I am creating an application with html using vb as the back end. Microsoft Visual Studio is the application I am using.I have two drop down boxes...one called department, the other program. When a department is selected, I want the program dropdown to only display the programs that are associated with the department chosen. I have found several different codes to do this but nothing has worked so far.

In VB.Net 2010, is there any way to do multi-select in a drop-down/combobox, preferably with check boxes in the drop down? I've seen various discussions on the 'net about this but no such beast appears to exist within the tool.?
View 4 RepliesSo as the name states; I am a newer coder.
This is the code i have:
Public Sub RandomNumbers()
Dim s(4) As String
Dim RandomNumber As Byte
I don't know if you can tell what I am trying to do here, so I will try to explain. I what to create for random numbers and place them into for different text boxes. I also would like to do this with combo boxes and their selected indexes. So if the combo box has 10 items in it; the new selected index would be the random number generated above.
I'm in the middle of creating an application that will be used to input customer information whilst the customer is speaking to someone over the phone. This involves the customer giving the employee information such as name, address, postcode etc and the employee inputting that information into text boxes and combo boxes that are in the application.
What I would like to be able to do is after the customers information is given over the phone, I need to be able to send that information to a database which will probably most likely be done by button click. In this case, I'm using Microsoft Access. I'm also hoping that I can do this within Visual Basic coding.
The database is set out with multiple tables which include a customer table and a ticket table and both have multiple fields such as first name, surname in the customers table. Both of these tables are in use with the information that the customer gives over the phone.
I've already asked on other forums and people are where replying giving me third party programs that I could use to implement this, something I don't really want to do.

Im trying to make a program that allows the user to view additional information via moving the cursor over the label to view (make visble) additional information, in the form of text boxes and/or picture boxes. How will i go about doing this?
View 6 RepliesI have two list boxes. A users selects a value from each, clicks a button and the application creates a relationship between the two selected items by saving them in an array and displaying the relationship in a third list box.
What I want to allow is for users to be able to drag a value from one list box and drop it on top of another value. I have the code to capture the value of the item dragged but I don't see how to capture the item that the data is dropped onto.
Is there a way to capture the targeted selected item?
how to move info from text boxes on one form to binding source text boxes on another form. I am displaying array info in text boxes on one form and i need to add them to the database on another form. How do I do that?
View 5 RepliesI am working on a program using VB.Net 2010 which will enable me to setup groups of files & folders for back up with syncing capabilities etc. I have a concept program which is based on some sample code I found out in one of the VB.Net forums. I have modified it from a command line based program to a form based program. At the moment I consider this code to be a "concept" program which once I have the various copy/sync routines developed and debugged will be integrated in to another program I wrote for
creating "Back Up" groups to automate the process. There are some 3rd party programs that do similar things that I want to do such as Microsofts Sync Toy, but none of them offer the grouping and exclusions options that I am going to program in to this backup/sync program.
So here is my problem, I have the included code taking two folders, a source and a destination, and copying everything from the source to the destination. It will skip over any unchanged files/folders and will delete anything found in the destination folder that is not found in the source folder and it will update all files in the destination folder that have a newer version in the source folder. In other words it will mirror image the source to the destination but will be smart enough not to copy unchanged items from the source to the destination thereby saving a lot of time. The sync part of the program is working fine, the displaying of the progress and results is not.

I am trying to write codes to clears all items in the list box. I try doing this with these codes:
Dim index As Integer
For index = 0 To lbxOrder.Items.Count - 1
lbxOrder.Items.RemoveAt(index)
Next
But I keep getting error: InvalidArgument=Value of '1' is not valid for 'index'.
Clicking on any day clears the selections. This bug is repoducable by simply opening a new WindowsForms project, dropping a MonthCalendar control onto its' surface. Click on the TitleBackground, click on a month, Jan thru Dec, and the bug will become self-evident. There may be another bug, if you click on either the Next or Previous month buttons, the selections will shift to the first week of the month. Finally, the Today key at the bottom of the calendar doesn't fully highlight. I am currently using Windows Vista, I will try to repo this on XP as soon as I can.
View 4 RepliesI've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.
i am trying to automatically generate multiple text boxes on a form with the following code
Private Sub CreateTB(ByVal x As Integer)
Dim y As Integer = 1
Do Until y = x
[Code]...
i need it to generate as many text boxes as the variable x states, so i used the do until loop thing. But i am stuck when it comes to naming the text boxes because obviously all the text boxes cannot share the same name. so i would like to know how to programmatically name each textbox uniquely.
I'm trying to read a text file that contains info like this:
ACX-101-011 , J2168
BTXR-130A-013, D6733
AJ4-233-614, T8211
I want to split each line at the comma and write the left side to a textbox and the the right side to another textbox. I'm close, with the code below, but I can only post results from the first line in the file. How do I loop this and append the text results in each of the textboxes.
Dim TempFile As String
TempFile = "temp.txt"
Dim sw As StreamWriter

how to permanently save to text files then re-open all of the information again using SFD and OFD. Now my teacher has come back at me and said that i need to be able to save the information from multiple text boxes and have the text in certain labels to also be saved into the one text file (the labels need to be done because it is a database and these labels are like the fields and the right text box needs to match the right label)

I'm trying to make a small database out of text boxes and text files, something where sql would be overkill, not to mention beyond my experience. I want to be able to write the contents of the text boxes to a file.txt (the easy part) then being able to retrieve them back out into individual text boxes. How would I pull this one off?
