Below is the code I am using to restrict user from entering any other characters except for the predefined ones. But using my code I cannot hit backspace.
How to include backspace also ?
Dim s As String = "0123456789$"
If s.IndexOf(e.KeyChar) = -1 Then
e.Handled = True
End If
I want to have a msgbox when user press 'backspace' in the textbox.
I wrote this:
Private Sub TextBox2_KeyPress(ByVal KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 8 Then
MsgBox("backspace")
End If
End Sub
Why it doesn't work?
I'm trying to format a string to represent a date in a specific format using the Format function but it's return odd results.
Here's an example:
Dim s as String = "01/01/2000"
Dim result as String = ""
result = Format(s, "dd-mmm-yyyy")
result equals "dd-mmm-yyyy" (the format string) very strange.

I know you can put unicode character codes in a VB.Net string like this: str = Chr(&H0030) & "More text"..I would like to know how I can put the char code right into the string literal so I can use unicode symbols from the designer view.

What is the BEST way to read/write from a database (I only really know how to use Access but if XML or SQL would be better, I'm willing to learn). The database needs to be stored and accessed from the same state every time that the program opens.

Other people have told me that using DataAdapters and such aren't the best way, but no one has been able to tell me what this 'best way' is.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to set up a CLASS to represent a data stream.This is a newbie question so if the answer is obvious, please excuse me.Several of the data items are multiples which I would normally represent as an Array element.For example, in the code below, the element SolarNameplate has up to 10 instances, so I'd like to use array notation.I get errors, and it doesn't work, so I assume I can't do it like below.
QUESTIONS : 1 - is it possible to use an array element in a class ?
2 - is there another way to achieve what I want ?

I'm pondering a design that will require zooming. My intention was to use pictureboxes to represent a variety of items, and I have the code written to draw on those pictureboxes, as needed. However, there will be many pictureboxes on the form at any one time, though only a portion of them will be visible. That shouldn't be a problem, necessarily, as there isn't any issue with having controls that are not on the visible area of the screen. My issue is that when the user rolls the mouse wheel forward or back, the image will have to scroll in or out, which means that the location and size of the pictureboxes will have to scale relative to the point where the mouse is located.
Technically, this would be more easily accomplished using graphics directly, since I can use ScaleTransforms and...uh...one other, to do the scaling. However, I would prefer to stick with the pictureboxes because I will be doing lots of drag and drop work with them (dragging things into and out of them), and that code is already written. If I were to change that to use rectangles and circles drawn dynamically and scaled dynamically, I'd have to use some kind of hit testing to figure out which object I dragged or dropped onto, and where. Therefore, switching away from pictureboxes would require a fair amount of recoding. There really shouldn't be a problem scaling and translating the controls on the form, but rather than writing the math behind that, I was wondering if there were any built-in tools that will do it for me or will help with the process.
In a tic tac toe game I'm working on I have 2 dictionaries (plyrPairs and cmptrPairs) In the program there is a procedure that is used numerous times.

What suggestions do people have for a timeslot data structure? I have a number of activities and I'm planning to display them in a datagrid with days as columns and timeslots as rows. This suggests to me a timeslot data structure with 5 properties for the five days (the columns) for every value I want to use e.g. a timeslot ID and the number of slots left.
So.
Property Day1ID
Property Day1Slots
Property Day2ID
Property Day2Slots
Property Day3ID
Property Day4Slots
etc
Then each TimeSlot structure would be for a specific time. say 9:00 and another for each hour after that. Then I'd have a list of timeslot structures that will auto bind against the datagrid. I'm exploring new ground here and as you can see I'm not very clear on what/how to do it?

I have a TableLayoutPanel that is 1 column wide. In it, I make UserControls to represent components of a color formula.When a user chooses a formula on the left, I call "TableLayoutPanel.Controls.Clear" and then using the data from the formula, set the number of rows and create X many new user controls in a loop and TableLayoutPanel.Controls.Add them.
The problem is, if one keeps this screen open and selects through roughly 60 to 70 different formulas, eventually, without warning, the program will crash in an unhandled exception: Error creating window handle. (There is no debugger breakpoint)What's causing this? Is it a disposal problem? Should I be doing something other than TableLayoutPanel.Controls.Clear? Would you handle building the objects differently? I'm including a screenshot of the screen in question (you can see the usercontrols vertically on the right) and the error box that comes up.
I have a very large number of tables with data in the following format:
A X Y Z
1 0-2 0-13 0-1
2 3-5 14 2-4
3 6-9 15-16 5-10
In other words, there is a variable (call it A) with a single value that corresponds to a range of values in the other variables (call them X, Y, and Z).My program needs to accept user text input of values of X, Y, Z, etc. and then match each to the corresponding value of A.Example: User enters 4 in the X text box; program determines that if X=4, A=2.Again, we're talking about tables and tables of data in this format. Unaware of a better method, I have been using arrays.
Example:
Dim a() as double = {1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,3...}
Dim x() as double = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10...}
Note how I had to artificially deal with variable A so that the index of each score corresponds to the index of the matching X variable.It is this modification of the variables that is taking forever. There has to be a better way! Hypothetically, what I need is the ability to do something like this:
Dim a() as double = {1,2,3,4...}
dim x() as double = {0 to 2, 3 to 5, 6 to 9...}
Is there a way to represent a range of values at a single index of an array, such as my hypothetical example above? This would save me hours of re-shaping the data to make the arrays work.

I'm writing an in-house intranet application in ASP.NET and VB.NET. My 'customers' are beginner to medium-level users. All of our browsers are IE8 and above, standard.The application works great, except for one thing. The backspace key. When a user types an invalid number into a textbox, a RegularExpressionValidator and ValidatorCalloutExtender fire off and notify the user. Perfect. Except that, when the user closes the popup warning and notices the cursor is still flashing in the textbox, he/she feels it's time to hit the backspace key and delete that pesky field value.
Unfortunately, the browser interprets this action as a desire to go 'back' into the page history. My boss is screaming. His bosses are screaming. I have a headache.So, how can I turn off this behavior? I still need the backspace to eliminate characters in the textbox, but nothing else. Company policy here: Backspace is to delete characters from the screen. Nothing more, nothing less.

You need to test for the backspace character, and if it's there, fix up the input.Maybe something like this:
If Right$(TxtQP.Text, 1) = vbBs Then
TxtQP = Left$(TxtQP, len(TxtQP)-1)
End If
Or is the backspace not showing up in the string, but as the input character kicking off your procedure?

View 1 RepliesI have built an addin for outlook that has a usercontrol shimmed into the interface. Everything works wonderfully EXCEPT for one textbox on one subpanel of the control. I have tried everything I can think of, but have not been able to resolve the issue:
The textbox *(A regular System.Windows.Forms.Textbox) functions as you would expect in any application with one exception. It will NOT accept the backspace key. So much so that the KeyDown, KeyPress, KeyUp events will not even fire when I press the backspace key. There does not seem to be any parameter suppressing it, and the control has focus. What is even stranger is that it works completely fine if you hold down the shift key while pressing the backspace key.
