View 2 RepliesI am just a beginner in vb .net. I am now developing a window-based software.This is the problem:
1. After the user log-in, the system must show the parent form and automatically show the main transaction form base on the user role or user accessibility in my system manager. Is it possible to do this?
2. In my menulist, I need to recognize which menulist.item is selected. So, I need to bold the letter of the selected menulist.item or underline the word.

I have developed vb.net application and have one main form with isMdiContainer property true. It has one Menustrip control docking on top of the form and StatusStrip docking on bottom of the scrren. When User click on any menu item it opens new form or if already opened, show it. My application allow to open multiple child forms opened at same time and all forms StartPosition is set to CenterScreen. My problem is becuase all forms are in cetenr it ovelaps each other and user wouldn't know which form(menu option) is opend. I would like to see all opened forms in different tabs (like in windows taskbar) in bottom of MDI parent form.

I'm trying to create a program that will look at a website and check it for updates, similar to an RSS feed. It then will show a dialog (Form2) that will inform the user that there is an update.Form1 is used as the configuration form and is able to be shown via a notify icon in the system tray, which is on Form1.Originally I would have Form1 hidden via Me.Hide() and then run a timer which would check for the updates and call Form2.ShowDialog() when there's an update, I found out however, that if Form1 is hidden, the dialog will not show.
Next I tried not Hiding the form, but instead setting its ShowinTaskbar property to False. At this point the program functions correctly, however when I minimize Form1 it sits in a shrunken window near the task bar... Is there any way to completely hide Form1 (when minimized), and allow Form2 to be shown as a dialog?
In my project i have one parent window form with one menu bar and one status bar. that is what i want is:when i show the child form to see in the status ber an icon relative to the child window.How i can do that?And if that can't be how i can see an icon in a task bar?

I'm using a DLL in vb.net 2005, and this dll show a messagebox with OK option. I would like to close this Messagebox by code.

I want prevent the parent dialog, not move.when dialog process data (17s) i can move the parent dialog to anywhere.
View 1 RepliesI often use the process of displaying a dialog from a form, with the dialog user input then used to update the main form without any problem. In a new scenerio I launch the main application screen, I then show a login dialog ontop of the main app screen and can launch another dialog from the login if a new user is required. The plan is to update the login dialog (updating a combobox to reflect the addition of a new user) from the new user dialog.
See code below :-
'Update login forms user list as new user added successfully
frmRoomBookingLogin.cboLogin.DataSource = Nothing
frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text = "Updating password from dialog"
MessageBox.Show("The password text is " & frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text)
[code]....
The messagebox implies the dialog has been updated yet the text does not change. Is it possible to update the dialog when using a setup such as Form -> dialog -> dialog? I'm intrigued as why the dialog does not reflect changes. I have never refreshed/repainted the dialog as never required to in my other examples when updating a form from a dialog and never encountered a problem when using a two tier form setup.
After deploying and installing my application I use the app to create and save a file with my own file extension. After the file is created I right-click on the file and select Open With.. so that I can associate this file extension with my application. In the Open With dialog I use the Browse button to find my application and select it. In the Open With dialog the application icon is shown, but the name of the app is blank (looks like an empty string). Can anyone tell me why this might be happening? I've looked at the Registry, which shows the correct app, but every time I open the Open With dialog only the application icon is displayed, no name.
View 2 RepliesI have 1 table which has columns which include "parent" which says who the parent is if there is a parent, and "name" which has the name of the item. so for example
[Code]...
or something to that affect. the reason being that the user can do the autocomplete by typing a letter or a few letters, it will go to the parent and then they can use the enter key to move down 6 or so down at a time( if possible) or arrow to move 1 at a time down.
Is this possible in DGV or should I go use something else? I have seen this used in a program before but I do not know how it was implemented.
I have the following javascript function

In my gridviews item template for my edit button I have the following to call the function. Which works to show an alert but can't get it to show the dialog? Is it because possibly the postback happening on the grid causing it to close?

View 3 RepliesI designed a application on vb.net 2005. Some of the forms in this application has databindings controls. Now when such forms loads it takes some time.

I have a client, who is running Windows 2008 Server 64 bit. He is running our software, it has a built in crystal report viewer functionality. The print dialogue just wouldn't work no matter what. It worked on our 32 bit box and we verified it. I verified it on our 64 bit box, and the print dialogue didn't open either. I did some research online. And one suggestion is to set m_printDlg.UseEXDialog = True. I tried that, but that did not work either...
Here is the code snippet.
#Region " Methods "
Public Overrides Sub PrintReport()
' NOTE: Do not use bug in reportviewer
'MyBase.PrintReport()
Dim objRpt As ReportDocument = CType(Me.ReportSource, ReportDocument)

View 3 RepliesI am using Process.Start(fileName) to let Windows open certain files outside of my application with their 'default application'.If "fileName" for example is a ".txt" file, it opens the file in Notepad. If it is a folder, it opens windows explorer with that folder selected.This all seems to work well, except when the user enters a file that has no application 'linked' to it.(a file that has no file associations)I have wrapped the Process. Start() in a Try/Catch block so that any errors are caught and displayed.When I now open a file without any file associations (windows does not know with which application to open it) it tells me that it cannot find any application to open it with. (The exact error is in dutch so I don't think that's going to be much help here, but I think it's clear what's happening, no?)What I would like to happen in this case is that the windows "Open With" dialog comes up, asking the user to select an application to open the file with. Now it just displays the error message and continues, making it impossible for the user to open the file unless he browses to the file manually and sets up the file association, something many users probably don't know how to do.
View 8 RepliesMy Front end is VB.net 2008.I have a form. In this form, I have a menu control, this menu control has four buttons.On clicking the first three buttons, open the window with Show() event. and the fourth button open the screen with ShowDialog().Now, One by one I am clicking the button , so finally i have now four windows of this application.(Three with Show() and one with ShowDialog())Right?
Now I am minimizing all the windows with the help of Window + D Button.After this, If I use the keyboard(Alt+ Tab) keys. This is opening the showDialog window on top because , Show dialog's TopMost = True.Now I come back to my problem. That's why I cannot use the show/Showdialog overloaded menthod to pass the Me/form-id .Again, I use the keyboard(Alt+ Tab) keys, to minimized all windows. In the taskbar and Startmenu properties ,I have selected the Group Similar Taskbar buttons.This resulted in the heap of my application windows, one on the other.Now i click on one of my application window , and If I click the window other then the Show Dialog opened Window, this is not bringing the show dialog window to topMost.
Note:- There is no parent child window requirement. That's why I can't use the Show/Show Dialog overloaded method to pass the Me/Form-id
I have some shared code I need to use both in a WinForm and a service. How can I test if my code is running in a service, so I can avoid problems with modal dialogs.
View 2 RepliesAfter several hours of searching the internet I could not find any Report Viewer tutorials that show a project that contains a parent/child report. I'm using rdlc report files.I can create a single report but we want to create a report that shows shows invoice header information followed by the invoice details followed by the next invoice header and details and so on.
If a sample project is not available, do you know of an online tutorial that shows how to do it?I saw something that might help on gotreportviewer.com about subreports, but it's in C# and not VB.Net so I could not figure out how it works.
