View 13 RepliesI am using Dev Express to develop a form in which i have a GridControl with a View inside a View.It looks like this:
I am then trying to use the event ValidatingEditor to validate the user input.I tried to do that by doing:
Private Sub grvObsAM_Artigos_ValidatingEditor(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.BaseContainerValidateEditorEventArgs) Handles grvObsAM_Artigos.ValidatingEditor
Dim row As Integer = Me.grvObsAM_Artigos.FocusedRowHandle
This, however always returns me something like -99999.. I poked around and tried this other solution using the sender from the event:
Private Sub grvObsAM_Artigos_ValidatingEditor(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.BaseContainerValidateEditorEventArgs) Handles grvObsAM_Artigos.ValidatingEditor
Dim grv As DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid.GridView = CType(sender, DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid.GridView)
Dim row As Integer = grv.FocusedRowHandle
And using this second solution i managed to get the focused row handle. Even though this worked this time (because the event was triggered by the view itself and i had access to the sender) this doesn't solve my problem as there are other events where the sender is not the view and the problem persists.Usign Me.grvObsAM_Artigos."insert anything here" doesn't seem to work properly.

View 1 RepliesI am creating a 2D RPG game similar to the pokemon interface. After solving my problem with walls, I came across another problem. If I make the panel show the whole map, it would be too small. Thus, I tried to increased the size to 1200,1200, but it wouldn't let me because my screen is smaller than that. Then I thought about it and realized that most games limit the sight of the map to the characters surroundings.

View 1 RepliesI have multiple textbox in a form. How do I know what textbox the cursor currently is? Trying to do something like this:
If TextBox2.Focus() = True Then
MessageBox.Show("its in two")
ElseIf TextBox3.Focus = True Then
MessageBox.Show("its in three")
End If
But I think its not working.
I have my menustrip with the standard edit items. I know I can do this:
If TextBox1.Focused = True Then
TextBox1.Undo()
ElseIf TextBox2.Focused = True Then
TextBox2.Undo()
'Ect. Ect. Ect.
End If until I type out every textbox. However, I have like 30 textboxes and don't want to type out every textbox to see if they have focus. Is there a work around for that?

View 1 RepliesUsing DevExpress 10.2 within Visual Studio 2008 with VB.Net I have created a single gridcontrol that contains two different gridviews. The gridviews are related using an id column. Basically if there are related details about a row in the first gridview then the user can click on the plus sign to see all the related details. When I have any row on the first gridview I am able to get the focused row. Yet when I have the focus on any of the rows in the second gridview I am unable to get the focused row or the content of the row.

View 1 RepliesVisual Basic Interop Video Series This how-to video series is focused on the Interop Forms Toolkit and working with Visual Basic .NET and Visual Basic 6 together. The Interop Forms Toolkit allows Visual Basic developers to migrate their Visual Basic 6 applications over to .NET using a phased migration strategy. Instead of having to convert the entire VB6 application at once, the toolkit enables .NET Forms and User Controls to run directly in Visual Basic 6 applications so that you can build the pieces that you need over time.
Download the Code: Videos 13
You will need: Visual Studio and the Interop Forms Toolkit 2.0 in addition to Visual Basic 6.0

View 2 RepliesOverreaching amateur developer that is outsourcing some of my work and doing part of it as well. I've been working on a dictionary/ thesaurus / spell check & suggestion application that I am trying to get to work on all applications within the windows environment.
I've used hooking to get key stokes and show output as the person is typing for definitions and spelling suggestions. This isn't accomplishing everything I want. Works fine for spell checking and suggestions but to click on a word that already exists or for touch screen interfaces to touch a word it doesn't work.
I was reading the Raw Input API on MSDN and thought that would work but my developer that I've hired is advising me that the RAW input's scope is only on the window that has focus and so cannot do low level hooking. I'm considering giving the effort but wanted a 2nd third fourth perspective prior to making the effort.[URL]

Currently I have the following VB.NET code to make a screenshot of my desktop, but it only takes a picture of the active screen:
Public Function SaveScreen(ByVal theFile As String) As Boolean
Try
SendKeys.Send("%{PRTSC}")[code].....
The following code is how I execute the above function, if it makes any difference, which I don't think it does:
SaveScreen("C:Lexer_tracescreen.png")
Now, I need to be able to take a picture of the entire screen, not just the focused window.

View 5 RepliesI have read that VB .NET in earlier versions limited the FORM size to that of the development machine screen resolution.I am hoping that there is a way in the current VB 2010 to get around that.However in my attempts to make the form larger, it always resets itself to the screen height on my develoment machine.Is there a way to get around this and have the person be able to use a scroll bar to move down?The data I wish to show actually has two screens worth of information but the stuff in the scroll down section would be used on a limitied basis so scrolling will be useful rather than having to recreat the screen to show less data at one time.
