I need to load a form call formok after the user is validated by the Computername that is stored on a table. I have all the code for that just need the part to load the form call formok. I have the code running in a module called modUserName
Function fOSUserName() As String
' Returns the network login name
Dim stDocName As String
I have an application has a data entry form, and currently I'm using the form validation and validated events to validate the data - along with an error provider. I've read that this logic should be placed in the Dataset rather than the form. To that end, i've started exploring how to do that.
I'm trying to figure out how to resize a form on load to fit to the user's screen. Many of my users are on laptops, or split screens between laptop and monitor..I remember in VB6, it was something like form.height = screen.height (or something of the sort)... but I can't find this functionality in VB.NET 2008. I'm also trying to wrap everything (multiple screens/forms) into one app, so I wanted to know if anyone was aware of any tutorials on form parent/child relationships... I don't want to keep opening and hiding forms individually without having them packaged in one work area....
how to create a form that allows a user to load an input file? I'm assuming a form like a windows explorer window will be too difficult, or not? If it is then I guess I could just put a textbox on the form and ask the user to input the directory with file name.
Imports System.Data Imports System.Data.OleDb Public Class Form1 Dim con As OleDbConnection Dim cmd As OleDbCommand
[CODE]...............
The insertion part of the form works great. But my problem is in the form load part......If i leave a field blank(Null),then perform Save operation,close the form after successful insertion and then reopen the form,then it retains the previous values during the form load......This is only in case where i leave a field blank in the previous data entry in the database.......But if i enter values in all fields then form load is working great.
I have a rich text box which I use in order the user is able to add pictures, coloured writing, different font etc... however I need to load specific text in the rich text box when the user load the Form.how I can add (I guess) the HTML to load this every time the user load the form.
P.S the text will change depending on who loads the form so I can not do a simple
RichTextBox1.LoadFile("C:Documents and SettingsDesktopSigniture.rtf")
How can I do it so every time the user loads my application it will automatically (without prompt, or user selecting) upload all the files in a folder i select beforehand and add them into ListBox1
I'm working on creating my own sudoku solver to learn vb.net. I decided to have an element class which represents a single square in the puzzle. That element then has references to three lists which can be validated (no duplicate numbers). The three lists then would be its corresponding row/column/subGrid. Each list then holds a reference to 9 elements. Thus in my design an element has a reference to a list, which then holds a reference to that same element. Now vb.net will allow me to do this so I don't think it is the same issue that I saw when searching for solutions to circular referencing. However, I still wonder whether or not this is bad design.
Is there anyway to check if a Control has been validated yet?I have some code that I want to run when the Selected of a TabControl fires off.The thing is, that I have TabPages added to the TabControl at the beginning of runtime, which then triggers the Selected event before the control is completely existent, which means the Sub I have that also happens to reference the control during that event errors out because there is technically not an instance of the control completely finished building so it says I don't have a correct reference set to that object.So basically, I want to be able to check in the Sub if the control has been Validated, or maybe even created or whatever is going on.
After publishing and running the setup, i get the above msgbox.. how do i fix this validation, to where i can publish my app without having it validated?
I'm trying to use the events Validating and Validated on a ToolStripTextbox.
Private Sub txtMenuOwnIP_Validated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtMenuOwnIP.Validated MyIP = txtMenuOwnIP.Text StatusLabelIP.Text = MyIP End Sub
[code].....
Neither code is firing.The CausesValidatition of the txtMenuOwnIP is set to true.I can enter stuff into that Textbox and leave it using the Mouse or simply piush Enter, but the posted code won't get fired (used a Breakpoint in both subs). There are no other event routines for this command used.
I have a custom text box component (inherits from system.windows.forms.textbox) that I created in vb.net (2005) that handles the input of numeric data. It works well.
I would like to suppress the validating and validated events from firing if the number hasn't changed. If a user is tabbing through the form and tabs from the text box, the validating/validated events are fired.
I was thinking that the text box could cache the value and compare it to what is listed in the text property. If they are different, then I would want the validating/validate events to fire. If they are the same, nothing is fired.
I can't seem to figure out how to suppress the event. I have tried overriding the OnValidating event. That didn't work.
Update:
Here is the custom text box class. The idea is that I want to cache the value of the text box on the validate event. Once the value is cached, the next time the user tabs through the box, the validating event will check to see if the _Cache is different from the .Text. If so that is when I would like to raise the validating event to the parent form (as well as the validated event). If the _cache is the same, then I don't want to raise the event to the form. Essentially the text box will work the same as a regular text box except that the validating and validated method are only raised to the form when the text has changed.
Public Class CustomTextBox #Region "Class Level Variables" Private _FirstClickCompleted As Boolean = False 'used to indicate that all of the text should be highlighted when the user box is clicked - only when the control has had focus shifted to it
I have a problem in that I have five text boxes pertaining to a customer/client, where there is a txtbox for each: Name; Address; City: State; Zipcode. Of course all the txtboxes are "" at initialization. I also have 2 combo boxes and a 2D array for prices which I have finally been able to understand the array logic. I have also been able to do my necessary calculations for.
My problem. The customer information is first to be validated as all being strings and not empty. The combo boxes I was able to get to tie to my 2 dimentional array and get good output and calculations for a finished product. I am just having problems with the error messages. Also I don't want summary totals unless the data is valid. In other words, the user must enter a complete address and make decisions about the two combo boxes, both of which are needed to use the price array. I will change the comboBoxes to represent dress sizes,"S" "M" "L" and "XL" and the other combobox to describe colorRedSatin or colorBlackBroadcloth with a two dollar difference in price between them. 'That would be similar enough to the problem I need to solve.
Basically I do not want any numbers to appear for price of the dress or addons to the dress unless all validation is complete. I do understand how the radio objects work for discounts and check boxes for accumulating accessories. The program should not give any totals untill the user has input all customer information and made decisions about input from combo boxes and selected calculate from menu. Right now it calculates and puts zeros in when choices are not made from the combo boxes by the user. It will include correct amounts for radio buttons and checkboxes if anything is entered. I need error messages for customer inputs and combo box inputs (if not selected from list of option in drop down for choices) (basically if nothing was put in a text box, the text box is empty. Of course the problem is the user must enter something in all 5 textboxes and not get multiple error messages in rapid succession to fix. We can't always count on our users putting in good data.. When I tried a Do While False with ORs I was getting endless looping. I could not get it to work because it will never execute because the control never passes back to the user.
I don't want to list a series of If/Thens becauser the user will see about 7 messages, where he/she only needs to be fed one at the time. I hope someone can give me some direction. I just need guidance on how to validate the text boxes and combo boxes. The code is analyzed with a "Calculate" on the menustrip. I would like for the calculation not to calculate and put outputs into the summery text boxes unless all textboxes are filled and combo boxes are valid for all the customer information and combo box choices for my two combo boxes describing what is needed for the order to calculate. There are also the radiobuttons and checkboxes, DIMs, Const, Variables, but not having problems with that part I have my indexing problems on the combo boxes worked out also, so I am not concerned about those now except for getting the error messages when I should. I hope that I have described my issues fully. I am using visual studio 8 with Windows 7
This is an odd question but can I load custom controls from a directory? (e.g TestControl.dll) in my application at runtime instead of adding a com reference?The reason I am asking is that I have an application that is installed as an add-in for MS office. The entire interface is a panel that contains a user control. Initial installation is a bit involved so after the first install, I would like to use clickOnce to deploy updates by just supplying new user controls.
How do i load the Main form of a WPF so that a seperate thread goes and gets data from the database while the form is in an apartmentstate? (drag-able / movable) I Know this is possible with opening a new window from your main form like this :
Private Sub openOrderWindow() Dim OrderWindow As Orders = New Orders OrderWindow.ShowDialog() End Sub
[code]....
I've tried putting MyBase.ShowDialog() and .Show() and .9000+ other things The only benefit I've got out of using a seperate thread to load from the databse is i can see the screen right away (as oppose to it being a transparent box until it loads) but i cannot move it around or minimize it?is there any way to make it Movable while it loads?
I've created an application that is supposed to map a network drive as soon as it starts using this basic sub:
Private Sub DesktopAssistant_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 'ElevatePrivileges() 'System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("batch\mapfs.bat")
[code]....
Here is the code for the MapDrive function:
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices Module map_unmapdrive Public Declare Function WNetAddConnection2 Lib "mpr.dll" Alias "WNetAddConnection2A" _ (ByRef lpNetResource As NETRESOURCE, ByVal lpPassword As String, _
[code]....
It works perfectly fine when I start the application, but when I do RunAs and start the application as another user, the MapDrive function does not seem to execute. Everything else in the application works when running as another user, just not on-load events.
I created setup from VS2005 Setup Wizard now i want to do following actions
-If i already installed my Application then it should show Add/Remove or Repair message currently i am removing from Control panel then again installing.
-I want to run .exe file first when setup Load on User machine.
I am currently wokring on a project, which is going to serve as an interface for accessing various documentation and reports. It is basically just a tabcontrol with a few pages that will be poppulated with buttons which will open the appropriate document.I am trying to allow administrative users the ability to add new, edit or remove buttons which all seems relatiively simple, but have run into the problem of how to persist the changes once they are made. I want the setting to be stored centrally, either in a SQL table or on a network share
