I'm trying to make a Doctor's program where the doctor has to enter the patients detail into several text boxes (Name, Age, Address...). So, after he has entered all the information, he would want to save it somehow so he could open up the information
again. How would i do that. I thought it could be saved in a database, or even in a text file.
I have never made a notepad like program just calculators and felt like learning how to link/find the parts to make save, open, format, and some other extras but I have NO code. I can't move on unless I know the parts needed and what the code for one of them is if I can link the save as button on the menu bar to the part needed to save I can figure the rest out besides the format that it saves in.
View 1 RepliesWhat I have is a form I click on and it draws two ovals on the screen. I haven't formatted the second oval yet but is will color itself and place itself with conditions I have yet to create. What I'm stuck on is I need a way to save my work. Then Open it when I return or wish to see what I did. I am using the SaveFileDialog and OpenFileDialog to set/get the file but what I am have issue with is the code needed to save all the Ovals on the page and redraw them. Can one of you give me some guidance? Do I need to create a Serializable Class to draw my ovals to start with and not use the Powerpacks.Shapes?

View 1 RepliesI need to make a save button. The user will work in main form. User also has Settings in the MenuStrip, when the user clicks Settings a new form will open. There user has ability to make changes that will affect the Main form. This is the code:
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
bib.Panel2.Hide()
End If
This is the change that the user will be able to do that will affect the Main form, but I'm not really sure how to make that the CheckBox1 will be saved when the user clicks it and the clicks OK button. I also want to know how to make a cancel button.

What I am trying to do basically is open an access query in a datagrid view and then be able to make changes to the datagrid and then save it back to the database.When I try to save:

Me.TableAdapter.Update(DataSet)
It says that update is not a member of the tableadapter... Why is that?

I have a MenuStrip with File > New, Open, Save, Exit located in a parent form, and a RichTextBox located in a child form.The problem I'm running into is concerned with the destination of the file elected from "Open" and the save.When a user selects their file from "Open", I need it to open the child form and put the text into the RichTextBox.I also need the program to be able to "Save" from a child form, whether it's been brought up via "New" or "Open".

View 3 RepliesI am wanting to find out how to use the Win32 hooks to allow me to add extra save locations to the save and open dialog box so as to allow as an option for files to be saved directly to a database rather than a file system.I have tried looking online but can't find anything remotely usable for this, the only data on hooks that I can find involves Window operation hooks, mouse, leyboard, and shell hooks, nothing to do with files.

View 1 RepliesI have created a Yahtzee game, its all complete appart from the high score sheet.
I have added a text file to the project, but I have absolutly no idea how to take the score from the grand total label and print it to the text file at the end of the game.
[code]...
I've tried to implement this highscore saving feature, so that when my application closes, the highscore saves within the my.settings storage function, and when my program loads up again, the same highscore loads up from this file. atm, it works ONLY within the application (I can close forms and it's still there, but if i end the program it resets to 0 next time it's loaded).it's basically 2 lines of code..1 for saving and 1 for loading..is this the best way to save a highscore for a game? I was initially thinking of making a database and linking it to that, but apprantly it's easier with the My.settings. even thought of using stremawriter but it's more uneccessary work over my.settings.[code]
View 7 RepliesHow do you save settings for a DataGridView? I'm making a game, and I want the user to be able to save their settings in a datagridview, and have it opened when he/she looks at the records form again.
I know this is what you do with a textbox, lets say:
My.Settings.Username = TextBox1.Text
My.Settings.Save()
But how would do that with a DataGrid View?
