How to retrieve value from sqldatasource1 to textbox1 using vb.net ?
i have a table with field Employee Id : 1001
I wannna retrive the top1 employee id in textbox1 using sqldatasource1
Let's say that you have a texbox labeled TexBox2 and you don't want it to be seen when the program runs because TextBox1 pulls information from TextBox2 and it shows up inside of TextBox1. How would you go about doing this?

I am trying to figure out how VB can focus a specific program and then send commands to the program only. The focus would only be for the commands and would not make the program you are currently in lose focus. Simply, what it is controlling is a Windows Application called GOM Player. I use it to study my material for school. I plays movies in it and don�t have to click out of the application I am working in to pause, play or rewind. The keypad and the company who make it actually have it built into iTunes and it does exactly what I want GOM Player to do.
The reason I dont just use iTunes is because I can�t get my video files to play in iTunes. After pulling teeth with the manufacture I finally to tell me that the iTunes functionality is accessible via plugins built into iTunes. So trying to mimic what is being done there does not help. I believe that a knowledgeable VB programmer could answer my question in seconds, but having some experience with coding and programing I know it also could be a lot more than what I think. [URL]
The question is: What is way that VB can send the key for the macro only to the GOM Player Application even if it is not focused or even If it is minimized.
I am working on bit more advanced calculator, but I cant figure out how I can make my program to calculate textbox1.text and show the answer in textbox2
For example: (textbox1) 5*62+4
(textbox2)314

View 1 RepliesI'm developing a tooltip application, in this case a small form that follows the cursor around the screen and displays a 'tooltip line' from my application when the user hovers over a certain word.
How do I keep the focus on the application where the user is working in at the moment (for example internet explorer, word, firefox etc) and keep my application floating above it? I've tried but each time my program becomes active the focus goes to my application as well.
I have a form with 7 textboxes, all describing different attributes of a used car. In the shared leave event of my tb's, I need to code a case statement which determines the particular textbox that lost focus. I then need to perform different tasks which I understand how to do, and I don't think they matter to my question.
I understand how to give focus (txtTextBox.focus()), but how do you tell if something has lost focus?
And furthermore, how would you use that to structure the case statement?
I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express. I have a program that I need to have work in conjunction with the scanner software that our company uses. how to get my program to watch for when the space bar is hit and I have also figured out how to make sure that my program's "spacebar trigger" only works when the scanner software is running.
The problem is this: If for some reason the user decides to use some other program while the scanner software is running, my program still watches for any time the user hits the spacebar. As a result that triggers the "spacebar trigger." I only want that trigger to fire when the scanner software has focus. How do I do that?
I am using VB.NET to build my application. And in my application has a lot of Forms. It doesn't use MDI Parent Form, but I use another simple Window Form (I named it frmMain) that I suppose it is my MDI Parent Form. When frmMain load, windowState = Maximized. And when I open a Form (example: I named it frmCustomer) that I suppose it is my child Form, and I set its properties (frmCustomer.TopMost=True) when it load, so it always on the top. But When I change to open another application such as Ms. Word or Mozilla Firefox... the frmCustomer is still on the top. how can I know my frmMain lost focus?

View 9 RepliesHow can I set focus on other application based on process name in VB2010?
What I can do now is set focus on other application based on windows name using FindWindow then use SetForegroundWindow. Below is what I currently have[code]...
The problem is that FindWindow need exact windows name to works and I don't always know the exact name. (Because my program open up different website that the user enter, so I have no control over they site they open). So is there anyway that I can set focus using the process name instead? (in this case firefox.exe)

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create an application in VB.net that can come to the front once a certain condition occurs (in this case, a file being created). I've tried the following code, but it just results in the taskbar button blinking on Windows 7:
Me.Activate()
I understand the reason for this, and I completely understand why people don't want any random application to steal focus (I hate it too). This is an extremely limited use application (only 3 computers will actually be using it), and the users in this case would want the application to popup in front (there will be an option to turn it off too).
Any ideas if this is still possible to do on Windows 7?

View 1 RepliesI have two forms in an application. One is he background and then I show another keypad form called with the show() method (not showDialog) because I need to perform some validations on btn click.
The kepad has 10 buttons and an Enter Button. The problem is that the form keeps loosing focus (I checked this with a messagebox which keeps poping up once for focus=true and again for focus=false, it continuously keeps losing and gaining focus) so it does not process any keypress events untill i click somewhere on the form. I tried using me.focus() in form load event but to no avail. The forms TopMost property is also set to true.
recommend a book that focuses on the .NET framework in general and isn't too language specific.
View 3 RepliesI have a textbox on a form that when it loses focus it updates other text boxes on the form. But before it updates the other textboxes I check the input value in the textbox lostfocus event if it is undesired I return focus to the the textbox and alert the the user with a msgbox. However where my problem is, is that when the cancel button is clicked I don't care what the input in the textbox is because the changes are being canceled but if the value is undesired the it keeps returning focus to the textbox instead of canceling the changes. Is there a way to see what control was clicked on before or in the lost focus event? Can't seem to figure it out tried enter and leave events but no luck!
So for example something like this...
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.LostFocus
If Control that was clicked <> btnCancel then

After I did a sendkeys to another program from my form, i wanted to return focus to the form. i tried me.focus = true but that doesn't work.
