I have already done the creation of button and the dragging of button at runtime already.But now i need to know how do i save the last dragged button on the form and also detect the name of the last clicked button.so lets say i now drag a button to coordinates 25,254. so when i exit the form and the next time i launch it, the button will still be at 25,254. and this one will go on for the number of button i created like 100. so when i launch the form the 100 button will be at the exact position where i last saved them.the second part is lets say i created button1 and button2 on the form in runtime. so when i clicked the first button, it should display button1. and if i clicked on button 2, it should say button2. same goes for like 100buttons.

How to make a program wait until a button is clicked by the user. I want to stop my sequence of codes (statements) until a button is clicked by the user.
View 1 RepliesI was looking for some better way of coding to populate all text boxes and make them visible once a button is clicked. I have a letter like format on a page with labels displaying address, name etc and it was recommended that on this page some of the information should be able to be edited. The idea I had was to keep the labels displaying the information but then when the edit details button is clicked the labels disappear, text boxes will appear and be populated with the same text as the label to allow the user to edit the details.
I seem to repeating lines of code but changing one thing each time on page load
Dim Sname As String = Request.QueryString("Name")
lblStuName.Text = Sname
tbStuName.Text = Sname
tbStuName.visible=false
[Code] .....
On edit button
tbStuName.visible=true
tbAddress.visible = true
etc..
On the save button
sqlStatement = "UPDATE StuTable SET Name = '" & lblStuName.Text & "', Address = '" & lblAddress.Text
My code seems very repetitive in many parts, I was looking for a better coding style to do this.

Public Class Form3

My Problem is that I have a form that when a button is clicked loads a new form - code below. I want to fill a list view with data from a database in columns but that isn't the problem: Whenever I run the program and try to open the new form, the program runs up to the Rec = Connection.execute line before going back to the first form where I opened it up.
Public Class Form2
Public Const ConnectionString As String = "Data Source=PeopleBase.sdf"
Dim connection As New ADODB.Connection
Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code] .....
I should also explain that the database is a local one and there are no errors or warnings that show up, it just runs like the while loop part isn't there.

So just to get better at VB, I'm trying to make this application that takes pictures from your clipboard and uploads them. I'm adding a label, that will tell you if there's anything in your clipboard or not, but the problem with that is that I don't know how to make it check the clipboard all the time.I'm still a beginner, so I only know how to make the app do something when a Form has loaded up, or clicked etc., but how do I make it so it checks the clipboard when it has changed? If I can't do it, how do I make it so it checks the clipboard like maybe every second. Do I need to use threads (I'm not sure, because I don't quite fully understand threads).
View 2 RepliesI am creating a visual basic program, which acts as a very simple GUI for another program. I have built the whole Visual Basic project, but I am unable to do one part, the most important part you could say. I have a button (button1) on a form, when the button is clicked, I want it to run a program, named 'mover.exe' which is located in the SAME FOLDER that my visual basic program will run from. The directory of this folder will change. So, there are two problems I have:
1 - To make the program run the .exe program when button1 is clicked (it also must be run with administrative privileges).
2 - To make the program always look for 'mover.exe' in the folder in which it is started from.
A Maximized windows form contains a button (Button1) that when clicked upon executes following code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Bfrm As New frmB
With Bfrm
.Top = 100

form1 have four buttons, i want to set a label text in form2 according to which of the button on form1 is clicked.below is what i tried so far.on form1 each of the button click event i made it focus
Private Sub Answerbtn3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Answerbtn3.Click
Me.Focus()
Form2.Show()
and on form 2 load event i have
Private Sub FinalAnswer_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If Main1.Answerbtn1.Focus Then
Label2.Text = "You choosed option '
[code]....
the above code displays only the first condition ("You choosed option 'A'"") on the label when any of the button is clicked?
I am currently working on a program in VB that is 480,600 and am using a panel with a picturebox inside of it so that I can use scroll bars to view a chart in the picturebox since my form will be so small. Since viewing a large chart is pretty irritating using scroll bars to some, what properties can I enable or disable to get the panel and picturbox to expand also when the Form Maximize button is clicked rather than staying the same size up in the top corner?

View 4 RepliesIs there any way to skip a the validating event of the active control when the close button of the form is clicked. It is very annoying when user wants to close the form, but due to the validate event of the active control, it asks for the valid input. The user is forced to give valid input to close the form. I have searched a lot for this on net but no any proper solution could be found.

Using 2 forms how would I click one button, from another form? ie In VB 4,5,6, I would used to do it as:-
Form 1:
private sub Command1_Click()
msgbox "Say Hello"
End Sub[code].....
If I clicked the button in form2, it would automaticlly, click the button in form1. Do I, do it the same way in VB Express or has it changed?
How can I make it so when a button is clicked it will make the program start on start-up but only if the checkbox is checked?
