View 3 RepliesMaking An Application Install To Be Used By Mutliple Users?
May 30, 2009I created a simple application that when a user logons onto their Windows account, the application pops up to display the computer usage agreement.آ The user at this time has the option of accepting it or declining it. If declined they are logged out of windows, and if they accept they can continue using windows. When I installed the application logged on as the administrator, it only installed in the administrator profile, thus not allowing the application to be run from startup under any other account except admin.آ My first question is, how can I install this application that is it accessible to all user accounts? The second question is how can I program the application to freeze windows until the user clicks the accept button, without puting a timer event that if the accept button is not clicked in a certain amount of time to log off the user.

View 7 RepliesVS 2010 Options View Control - Child Options?
Aug 20, 2011I am in need of a form that shows various options, exactly like the Options in Visual Studio. Since there are so many options I too want them categorized, with a TreeView to the left taking care of showing the right category.The usual 'easy' approach here would be to just place a TreeView control on the form, add some nodes, and give those nodes a tag or key that corresponds to a panel or UserControl with the options for that category.Since there will be a lot of options however, this is not really feasible design-wise; the form would be cluttered with possibly 50 panels, all of which I would need to select and bring to front from time to time to add controls to them that represent the options.
So I decided to create a custom control that does exactly that. The control is very similar to my Wizard usercontrol, users can add OptionsPanels at design time, which inherit Panel and simply represent one panel of options. When they do, the panel is added to a container panel, and at the same time a TreeNode is added to a TreeView. The control uses a custom ControlDesigner to handle design-time clicks in the Treeview, selecting a different node would select and bring to front the corresponding panel, allowing the user to add the controls he wants.
Due to the design time support the problem of having 50 panels is no longer present, only one panel will be visible at a time and selecting the right panel is as simple as selecting the corresponding TreeNode, just as during run-time. Anyway, I got all this working, but only for a single 'level' of categories. As you can see in the Visual Studio options, there can be multiple levels of categories. For example, the Environment node has a bunch of children, where each child represents one 'options panel'. There can even be deeper nesting, see the Text Editor node for example.Let me begin by drawing out the basics of how my control works so far.
The main control is an OptionsView control, which contains a SplitContainer with a TreeView to the left and a OptionsPanelContainer to the right. The OptionsPanelContainer is merely a Panel to which only OptionsPanel controls can be added, and which raises events when this happens, as well as when OptionsPanels are removed from it. An OptionsPanel also inherits Panel, and these are the actual panels the users will see in the control, one for each option category.For now, each OptionsPanel has exactly one corresponding TreeNode (and vice versa). In the Visual Studio options, each 'parent' category usually has a 'General' node as the first child, and the parent and this General node show the same option panel, but I am ignoring that for the moment.
The OptionsView control has a property Panels that returns the ControlCollection (Controls property) of the OptionsPanelContainer (in other words: it returns a collection of OptionsPanels that are in this container panel).
vb.net
<Editor(GetType(Designers.OptionsPanelCollectionEditor), GetType(UITypeEditor))> _ <DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)> _ Public ReadOnly Property Panels As Control.ControlCollection Get Return Me.PanelContainer.Controls End Get End Property
A custom CollectionEditor for this property takes care of the designer: even though the property type is ControlCollection, the CollectionEditor knows it should create instances of the OptionsPanel control instead of just Controls.When it does this, a corresponding TreeNode is also created and its Tag property is set to the OptionsPanel. Vice versa, the Node property of the OptionsPanel is set to the node. Hence the node and panel both know their corresponding object.
vb.net
Public Class OptionsPanelCollectionEditor Inherits System.ComponentModel.Design.CollectionEditor Public Sub New(type As Type) MyBase.New(type) End Sub Protected Overrides Function CreateCollectionItemType() As System.Type
[code]....
So far so good, this all works fine. I can add Panels via the designer and when I do a new TreeNode appears in the TreeView. I can select this node and the panel becomes visible (comes to the front).Now, I am a little stuck. How do I implement child option panels? And more importantly: how do I let the user add child panels?The most logical choice I think is to let each OptionsPanel have a property (ChildPanels or something) that returns the child OptionsPanels for that panel. Once the user selects an OptionsPanel then, he can look in the property grid to find its ChildPanels property and add child panels to that.
There is a problem though: what would this property return? It must return a ControlCollection of some container (this is, I think, a requirement for the designer features to work, otherwise panels are not added to the Form.Designer.vb file). But there is no container. I cannot add them to the OptionsPanel itself, that would make no sense because the parent OptionsPanel has its own set of controls (the options itself...), there cannot be another (fully docked) Panel on top of those obviously.The container of the main OptionsView then? That is not an option either, its Controls collection holds ALL OptionsPanels, not just the children of the selected panel. I cannot 'select' only the right panels either, that would require me to return a new instance of ControlCollection, it would be impossible to return the actual ControlsCollection that holds merely a small selection of its controls.

Hypothetical Controls - Options Checked As Enabled In FrmConfig Effects - Controls (like Buttons/menu Options) Are Enabled In FrmMain
Nov 26, 2010As i'm learning more and more about developing ive just got my head around creating classes and modules, i started wondering about something to do with configuration of applications where deployment is in a more diverse environment say in a company where different branches dont need access to all parts of a program, so i thought id throw the question out there in a basic sense and get some feedback. so i can go off and do some more reading and learning.
So the scenario in my head is like this.
So we have for arguments sake FrmConfig which is the master configuration form, then we have FrmMain which is the root menu our application general user interfaces with. So here based on what options are checked as enabled in FrmConfig effects what controls (like buttons/menu options) are enabled in FrmMain.

View 8 RepliesInstall Dll To GAC Through VB Install Script?
Mar 29, 2010my vb experience is fairly limited - I've only used it when supporting legacy applications or for small tasks so apologies if what I'm asking seems simple. I wrote a small vb install script which creates a new folder on a users desktop, copies over relevant files from the install folder to the users new folder and creates a shortcut on the users desktop.
This works great for giving stuff to QA to test. However, there's one dll included in the install folder which is also in the users GAC. The code looks in the GAC first for this dll and only looks in the install folder if none exists in the GAC.
What I want to do is include a line in my install script to copy this dll to the users GAC as well as copying it to the installation folder.Is there anyway to do this in VB? I did find the following on one of the MS sites for installing into the GAC gacutil /i a.dll
Is it possible to run this through VB or is there a cleaner way of doing this?

Many Different Options - How To Display
Nov 21, 2010I've got a project where each "person's profile" will have many options associated with them, they are broken into groups such as
"Hobbies"
"TV Shows"
"Dinners"
What I was going to do it tick each "group" that applies to each profile and show only the fields that apply to the user.I was going to display them on a panel or a tabpage but How would I show the user what panels need data entered? (there could be 3 or even 4) but would the panels 2-3(or 4) be hidden how would I promt the user to enter data.I don't like the "look and feel" of tabpages.
Options For Databases ?
Apr 29, 2010Well my project will basically involve a database of the sports info of students in my school. It has to work with about 1000 profiles, each containing a personal info record (basically an address book) and a Sports Info record which has some simple information like what sport they do for winter and summer but it also has some records like "Training Info" which will contain a some 10 fields. It'll wind up something like an array of records of records of records.
One of the key points for assessment is that we employ search and sort functionality explicitly using algorithms that have been provided to us. Essentially we'll have to write up our own subs for binary searches and stuff like that.
Now this is group work and I was put in charge of making the database, one thing I'm unsure of is what I should use. Most of the other groups are using .txt files to store their databases as they've been told that these are easier than Access files. However their databases don't appear to be quite as complex as the one my group's planning. Another random titbit of info I heard was that using our own search functions to search an Access file would not only be slower than using the inbuilt ones (another random something gleaned from conversation) [does it have inbuilt search functions?? I heard somewhere else it didn't] but also that it'd be slower than searching a .txt file with a similar sub.
I'm not sure of the veracity of those statements, however I still want to ask if you guys have any recommendations for what I should use to make the database with. The only ones I know of are CSV text files and MS Access, I'd be very grateful if you could point me in the of a good "thing" to use with VB.net for this kind of project.
