I've been building a notepad following some tuts and stuff.. and well, I would like my notepad to show a msgbox or something when it closes and something hasn't been saved.. like "Would you like to save changes before quitting Notepad? and three buttons saying, Save, Don't Save, and Cancel.. how can i do that?

I only just now realized that the project does not update when it saves until you quit out of Visual Studio. As such I now have 7 backups that are exactly the same, including the main file. I would have lost hours of work if not for finding a copy that somehow had all of my work saved to it. It was named the same thing as four other projects, though, with the other three being the same work from hours ago. Where is this temporary project? I cannot find it on my computer, and I'm afraid of losing all that work. Also, is there a way to do a Save All, and then something like "Save the whole project as" without quitting out of Visual Studio, looking through folders, finding the actual project folder, and copy pasting that? In other words, is there a way to do that in Visual Studio itself?

how you would go about saving information(username, password, security questions) in a notepad, so it can be retrieved after a program closes. i'm making a log in program in my class, but we haven't done this, so when the program closes, everything is gone. rather annoying, to have to make a accounts each time i'm testing it.
View 6 RepliesDo you guys have any ideas how to do the codings for SendInput?Like a key is pressed and the data depending on what the user had entered in the TextBox will appear in a Notepad and then save it.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a notepad application with richtextbox as the editor. I have pretty much all of the funtions I want for the application itself, but I want a code that will help me understand whether it has been saved to the computer already.For example, just like in notepad, where you can open a .txt file, and if you don't modify it, it won't prompt you to save on application.exit(), but if you do modify the file in any way, it will ask you if you want to save, and it will automatically save over the opened file without popping up a savefiledialog.
I want my application to do the same thing, and also with any files that I save. For example, when I save a new file, after it prompts me with the savefiledialog, and I save the file to a directory, on my next "save" not "save as" I want it to recognize where it previously saved the file to overwrite it without prompting me with a savefiledialog like "Save As" does.There must be a code to recognize where it was last saved, or opened, but right now my default directory ("Initial directory") for both the open and savefiledialogs are set to the C:/ direcotry.
I just published this simple console application that is supposed to show a textbox with the value of a setting called "userID" with value 1001. This works like a charm. Now what I need is to change this value outside the editor, from notepad etc. When I open the application a lot in there is non-sence etc. but with a quick (ctrl + F) I found the value 1001, and changed this to some other integer.
I ran the application again, and it failed, didn't even give any userful error-message. At a point I tried just opening a newly published non-corrupted version of the application, didn't change anything, then saved from notepad, and it were also corrupted. It seems like notepad can't open some characters or something. Do I need to publish the application in some specific text-unicode language or something? I use vb.net for this

View 5 RepliesI have to save the text from my textbox to a new text(notepad) file?
View 2 RepliesI have searched, but failed to find a suitable answer to this. My small app saves a text file using a savefiledialog and stream writer. Then if successful, displays a messagebox confirming sucess and asks if the user wants to open the text file now. and this is the problem... How do I determine if the user has changed the filename and or path in the savefiledialog when saving? I'd prefer not to hard code a path and file name if possible.... but that seems like the only option? and therefore I can't show the file straight after saving reliably??

I am trying to create a tool which I would input a word in a text box and it would search the path i give it to look for a word in a notepad file and copy the whole line to a new notepad and paste it.
i did this for now, i am able but i am able to copy all the text from the note pad and put it in a textbox for now..
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "P: est est.txt"
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(FILE_NAME)
Dim TextLine As String
[Code].....
I am having trouble to get the command to ask them to go read the text file and copy only the line for the word I put in the input box and to put it in a new notepad.
I'm still learning Visual Basic and I'm creating a web browser with basic tab and new window support. My problem is that if new windows are created if the original form window is closed, both windows are closed and the program is quitted. This is to be expected but like any browser the program quits based on the last remaining window open. How would I do this in Visual Basic?
View 4 RepliesI am using visual studio to create an application that opens an excel file and then for each entry in the first column the entry in the second column is stored in an array. Then excel opens two other workbooks and for each entry in the first column it searches for a match in these other two workbooks and stores the corresponding value in an array.
Anyway, the problem is closing excel afterwards. I have used the thread: [URL] to work through the basics of cleaning up. I used the cleanup code provided and added the WithEvents caveat. I do not have strict option on.
I believe the problem is the fact that I have three workbooks open.
This is my cleanup code: (wrkbk, wrkbk2, wrkbk3 are the workbooks; datasheet, datasheet2, datasheet 3 are the worksheets; excel is the application)
Code:
GC.Collect()
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers()
GC.Collect()
[Code]....
I got the impression that order was important in the cleanup procedure so I have tried some variations of moving the workbooks and worksheets around.
I want to encapsulate the use of Excel Interop to make it easier to use somehow in a reuseable library.So far, I have written some tests that work good altogether, except that between each test, I force Excel to quite so that it does have handle on the test file no more in order to be able to delete.Once I quit the application instance between after each of my tests, Excel seems to be no longer responding, causing Windows to display "Excel has stopped working and is looking for a solution"
message. This message lasts a few seconds, meanwhile Excel is closing, causing the hang on the file to occur and my tests to throw an exception like "Cannot access file because it is being used by another process..."

I did a web search already at some sites including Microsoft, but I have not found a soultion yet.Problem: CANNOT OPEN VISUAL BASIC 6.0; Says "Unexpected error; quitting"Machine/Software: OS: XP Media Center (although system info says XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack2 Build 2600)PC: Acer AspireE36SW:Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition
History:1. Could not open visual basic 6.0. I got the an error that the DAO350.DLL could not be found.
2. So following some suggestions from the web:a) Renamed old DAO350.DLL as DAO350.DLLOLDb) I took this file from Visual Studio Disk 1 and copied it into the C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedDAOc) Regsvr32 "C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedDAODAO350.DLL"d) Then I got a successful message that it registerede) It did not work. When I tried to open the visual basic 6.0 now I get:"Unexpected error; quitting" message.
I even loaded the component checker 2.0 as suggest via microsoft website to look up the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC). (see Article ID: 304230 and 301202 on [URL]..It says MDAC 2.8 SP1 ON WINDOWS XP SP2. I am not sure what this MDAC does for me, but I looked at it anyways.
i am trying to create a notepad on vb but i need some help adding some stuffs to it.Like for example i don't know how to do the following 2 things:1. The user should not be able to Close or Exit if they have made a change in the document being viewed. Use text_changed to set a Boolean if a code change is made. Then, if Close, Open, or Exit is chosen confirm that the user wished to discard the change.
2. Enable and Disable the Print menu item appropriately. It should not be possible to print when no file is open.

I got this idea from an online game that the game database for restricted words are in notepad, I also wanted to do that...
if any notepad file with different-different extension like .java, . html ,.txt will be opened in the vb.net environment than it will create its own .exe fie so without notepad installation the file should be open anywhere with its saved content.

View 2 RepliesI need to read the following file in vb .net: C:WindowsSoftwareDistributionDataStoreDataStore.edb". It contains info about installed software updates. I've taken a look at the file by opening it with notepad. This isn't a plain-text file obviously, but I can find and see the text I want easily with Notepad, and I want to extract this text by using VB .NET.
The problem is, i've tried to read the file by using an io.streamreader, but I can't get the same results as in notepad. I've tried to change encoding but that doesn't work. I mean in Notepad, I can read some text easily: "A s e c u r i t y i s s u e h a s b e e n i d e n t i f i e d" [...], but the only thing I get with the streamreader is some bunch of ugly characters, and the text I saw with Notepad isn't there.
Do I have to read the file in binary or what? HOW NOTEPAD DOES IT? HOW DO I READ THIS FILE LIKE NOTEPAD DOES?
I absolutely need to extract some updates info that aren't in either the registry or WMI/QFE.
