Select Multiple Lines Then Push That Out To A Single Variable
Nov 20, 2011
I have a listview box. I load the listview up from a text file and everything is divided into three groups. I need to be able to select multiple lines then push that out to a single variable, separated by commas. Two things are happening that are problematic:
1) If I just have it set to smallicons and no checkboxes, anything I select is highlighted right up until the control loses focus at which point everything un-selects.
2) If I turn on checkboxes, I can click boxes and they stay selected when I lose focus BUT the checkboxes are cut off on the left side of the control. (The checkbox appears to go off the edge of the control.) There's plenty of space in the control for the checkbox and the listed items.
I have a *.txt file which contains instructions and data, with its own comments (preceded by ! ), blank lines, and each instruction begining on a new line, but occassionally using two lines. Each instruction consists of several feilds seperated by a TAB. Finally each instruction ends in a comma. Only a few different instructions are there (10 different ones) but there are many of each. Spanning a good 2500 lines. Comments and blank lines are obviously of no interest to me. I merely need to read the instructions and the data that follows it.
Now, I have successfully used 'System.IO.StreamReader.ReadLine' to go through it line by line, picking out lines begining with certain strings (first 3 characters of a known instruction). All good, I can 'lift' out the lines of interest and store them, for them to be split up later (seperating their fields into instruction, data, etc..) and then into an array.
The problem is, since some of the data fields in these instructions are so long, it spans two lines, before it ends with a comma. Using the above method, I end up with two array entries for a single instruction, since I have stored individual lines rather than a complete instruction. The only similar situation I can tihnk of to explain this, is to pick out sentences in text, and store each one in a string. Of course these end with a period (full stop) but span two or more lines.
I am hesitant to post an example, since its formatting is rather strange, but it is generated that way from 3rd party software, so I cannot change that for my software application.Perhaps there is no 'graceful' way of doing this, meaning I would have to find a way of 'adding' the second line of the instruction, to the string of the first line. Or perhaps reading each line character by character, literally storing every number/letter until I reach a comma.
Ok, the basic situation: Due to a few mixed up starts, a project ends up with not one, but three separate databases, each containing a portion of the overall project data. All three databases are the same, it's just that, say 10% of the project was run into the first, then a new DB was made due to a code update and 15% of the project was run into the new one, then another code change required another new database for the rest of the project. Again, the pertinent tables are all exactly the same across all three databases.
Now, assume I wanted to take all three of those databases - bearing in mind that they can't just be compiled into a single databases due to Primary Key issues and so on - and run a single query that would look through all three of them, select a given set of data from each, then compile those three sets into one single result and return it to the reporting page I'm working on.
I am trying to write a module that will select cells from multiple, non-contiguous columns within a row that is defined by a variable. The column numbers are known and are unchanging. For example, my worksheet might look like this:
A B C D Row 1 X X X X
I want to select cells A1, B1, and D1; however, I don't want to use the row number (1 in this case) in my code. Rather, I want the row number to be specified as a variable. The code I am writing is inside a For/Next loop, so I would like to use the iterative variable (i in this case) to define the row number. That way, every iteration of the For loop will select cells from a different row.
I can detect single key downs with this code, however once I push multiple keys vb.net ignores previous key and only focuses on the other key. Can someone help me figure out how to detect multiple keydowns at the same time?Private Sub frmMain_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
how to count the lines in textbox1.text (with multiplelines). I don't need to count each character. I only need to count each line from top to bottom in textbox1.text (multiplelines) and I will use Label1 to display the numbers.
Say I have a code with 3 methods that do some pretty intensive work. Would executing these methods on 3 seperate threads be faster then executing them one after the other on a single core cpu? And what if it's a dual core or HT?

I am using vb 2010 and a windows form in my Web Browser project. In my favorites bar I need to be able to import my users favorites (that he may add) through a .txt file. I realize one way of doing this is creating multiple files stored in one master folder and reading the whole file of each which would contain the URL, but I would much rather have them all in one .txt file, but for that to happen i must read line by line from that file to import the favorites. Therefore, my question is how can I code my project to read through a .txt file line by line and return each line in possibly an array? "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit."
Dim strings_extreme = input.Split(","c).Distinct().OrderBy(Function(s) s)
i need to Dim it in one line, and set it a value on another line how do i do that?would it just be Dim strings_extreme() ? and then strings_extreme = input.split.... ?
I have a question regarding the dataset usage in Reporting Services. I have a stored procedure which returns multiple select statements (result tables), and I created a Dataset in Reporting Services 2005 with this stored procedure. The problem is that I can not reference the second or third result table, and I can only use the first select statement fields. Is this the limitation on Reporting Services Dataset or is there a way to use multiple table results in one dataset?

I am looking for the code to consolidate multiple .xls sheets from within multiple work books in a file all containing the same format of information. Each sheet needs to be coppied to a new sheet within a single work book.

I have a Listbox where i use OFD to list selected text filenames, can be multiple and from different drives
[code]...
I would like to be able to select more than one and have the whole of the lines loaded. I have tried many approaches, 'For each line' for example, but cant get my head around it. Another issue is that i would only like to see the textfile name in the listview box instead of path and filename.
I have done a lot of searching to what appears to be a simple LINQ problem but I can't figure out how to do grab an object out of a collection that has a specified minimum (or max value) without resorting to a sort like this[code]...
I need to grab just one row, and output its name and details properties to a sidebox on my page.So far I have come up with this, which is not working and giving cast errors between the entity and the list of.

I'm a newbie in VB.NET, I am trying to directly set the bits of a single variable. For example - dim afloat as single afloat = &h0000000c afloat will then be set to to '12'. However, I wish to actually set the bits of afloat to &h0000000c, which will give a different value.
how to store multiple variables in a single one to be stored in string?I have some 5 linq variables which am trying to store in a single string...Can you tell me how should i do so?
Since I like to use the ReadAllBytes and WriteAllBytes methods to save my variables to disk, I have had no troubles thus far with Integers.It has been easy to convert a short integer into a string of two bytes to save them using WriteAllBytes as following example:-
ReDimxji(0 To 601) For I% = 0 To 300 J% = hbs(I%)
[code].....
But now I want to store some Single variables using WriteAllBytes, so I need to convert my single variables to a string of four bytes for each.
Im making a text based game that i need to randomly select different numbers of lines from a text file then pass them to a list box.[code]...
First the code needes to identify the 4th element then randomly select lines from lines that contain that element. The code needs to work out how many lines have a matching text to the 4th array then randomly select lines from that total no need for a maximum limit to that number.The same line must only been show the once at a time, but It can then be shown again on a different button click.[code]...
