We only have few meetings for Computer subject that's why time did not permit us to discuss timer codes. Anyway, my concern (I think) is just simple (though I really do not know how to start).I plan to make a countdown timer of 60 s that will start once "Start" button is clicked and will display a message box when it reaches 0. I only know the codes for message boxes.

View 9 Repliesbeing able to move a button using a timer so that if mod 5 of the timer = 0 then it chooses a random number between 1 and 5 so that depending on the number it chooses it will move up,down,left or right by an increment given. Problem I'm having is getting the correct code to allow the button to move smoothly on the screen randomly based on the random number. I am also using visual basic 2010 express if that changes anything.

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.

In my Windows Form's application, I enable and start a Windows Form's Timer for a state machine which interacts with various User Controls. In one part of the state machine where an external device is being rebooted, I need to disable the User Interface (a User Control's UI) for the time it takes the device to reboot. The problem exists in that once I use System.Threading.Sleep, the timer that fires the State Machine stops and never restarts. I even re-enabled the Timer and re-started it after the Sleep command but to no avail. Is this expected operation or should a Windows Form's Timer be able to restart after a Sleep?
Snippet of code from a step in the state machine below:
Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor
MainForm.Enabled = False
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(8000)
MainForm.Enabled = True
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default
MainForm.t1.Enabled = True
MainForm.t1.Start()

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.
okay on my main form i created an instance of another form
Dim secondform As New frmSecond and i called it with this

I have created a form in VB and have coded a Clear Form button into it. The issue I am having now is coding the 'Submit Form' button to have it email the completed form to 2 employees in the bank that I work at. The form will be uploaded to our server for other bank officers to complete and then submit.

For now I just have it set to show the proper form (for example, Form3.Show) but when I try to do something like Me.Close() after it, everything closes instead of keeping Form3 open.

View 3 Repliesprogrammer and anything related with IT. i'm trying to create a program for my internet cafe wherein i would need 2 forms, 1 which will contain the transactions and 1 to log in/out customers. I was able to make this using excel but am currenty having a hard time now creating the program with VB2010, because syntax/formulas seemed different from that of excel2010... i have so many questions that i would like to ask, but i'l start with loading a form(for logging in/out) by clicking the Log-in button.
what i used before when i created a userform in excel is this:
Private sub LogBut_Click()
logForm.show

How would i make a form grow down vertically like say 200px when i click a button ?
View 5 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
[code].....
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 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a save button on my infopath form that when clicked, it automatically saves the infopath form to a directory. I'm running into some issues, I thought it would be simple but is quickly becoming confusing. [code] I've tried searching all over but couldn't find an answer that pertained to xml documents such as an infopath form.
View 4 RepliesI have a program that uses two forms. The program opens to the Main form, and the user can navigate to the other form from the Main form through use of a button. Here's the way I've currently written it: When the Main form loads, it declares and instantiates the other form during the load procedure. When the user presses a button, the second form is displayed by means of the ShowDialog method. On the second form, there is a Return to Main Screen button which closes the second form, bringing the user back to the Main form.
So, here's the structure of the code:
Code:
Public Class frmMainForm
Dim frmSecondForm As New SecondForm
Private Sub btnSecondForm_Click(blah, blah, blah) Handles blah, blah, blah
[CODE]...
Here's my reasoning: Originally, I wrote the code so that a new instance of the second form was created every time the button was pressed. The problem was that whatever data was displayed on the second form, previously, was lost when the user returned to it a second time. Since the user would be switching back and forth between these forms, frequently, I needed that data to persist.
What is the best practice for accomplishing this:
1) Declare and instantiate the second form on program start, as I have done, and use the button simply to show the form?
2) Declare and instantiate the second form each time the button is pressed but maintain the variables on the Main form and pass them ByRef to a custom constructor for the second form? Is this even possible?
3) Something else?
Is 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.
