View 1 RepliesClass To Produce Custom Cursors - Memory?
Jan 18, 2012For my applications I created a class to produce custom cursors. One of them is a waitcursor with a percentage in it. It has several backgrounds each one with a filled circle on it and they are positioned in a circle it self (a bit like the java wait thingy). Since I put it in my application I started to get errors at different places in my code, but all related to some memmory problems.

Datagridview Selection Via Cursors?
Feb 15, 2012I have a vb net program that shows a datagridview which pulls data from a mySQL database. When the user clicks on a row (I am checking for a 'cellclick' event), a text box is filled with data from a hidden column in the datagridview. This works fine and runs without error, BUT...When I use the cursor keys to move the selection up or down, the row highlight changes, but doesn't update the text box. I realise that this is because I am looking for a 'cellclick' event, but I don't know how to look for cursor keys as well.
Please could someone tell me what event I should be looking for to capture input via both mouse click and cursor. I have changed the program so it updates the second dgv on 'selectionchanged' but this crashes at run time with an InvalidCastException.Alternatively, is it possible to stop the user using the cursor keys?
(Q)Collecting The Cursors Position, And Moving It?
Nov 14, 2009I'm working on an app, this is my third or fourth, but this one is throwing me for a loop(I'm in no way trained in VB btw...)Here's a pic of the app:
The whole point is to use the "<" & ">" buttons to move the cursor left and right. When you do, it highlights a single character as it moves. Then, once you select a color button, it adds a special character BEFORE the highlighter character.
Ex: Help = He^6lp ^6 being one of the colors.
I don't even know where to start
Cursors (.cur) Only Render In Black And White - How To Make Them Color
Jun 5, 2009I am using the cursor converter to set both
dim cCon as cursorconverter = new cursorconverter
me.cursor = cursorconverter.ConvertFrom(myCursor.cur)
and
windows.forms.cursor.current = cursorconverter.ConvertFrom(myCursor.cur)
the reason for setting both is that otherwise the cursor will not always have the desired appearance. I know that cursors can be rendered in color, like 3D-Bronze, windows animated, hands and variations.

View 2 RepliesCreate Custom Database In Windows Application - Double Click Custom Database File?
Jul 21, 2006With VB.net, I'm coding a simple application to get more used to the new .Net format.
I'd like to save all the information to a 'new' database file. how to create a database on the fly, once that is done i'll be able to connect to it no problem, but actually creating the file is proving difficult to work/find out.
Also, with vb.net and the newly created custom file, how can it be made to automatically open that information with the program?
Is there a method in installation to associate the file type with the new program? How can i check when the program loads if a database file has been 'double-clicked' (rather than just running from the .exe of the program) and proceed to load the data?
EDIT1 - Extra InfoThe windows application has many different fields and content etc, then i need to save that to a file that could later be loaded by 'double clicking'. I assumed the easiest way would be to create a mini-database for each unique file

Asp.net - Storing A Custom Object In A Web Application
Jun 14, 2012I am at a new company and I am building a wizard for a web app, (.Net/4.0). The user goes to a few separate screens during the wizard process and must return to the original screen before completion of the wizard. This is different from how they normally do this. But this is how it is TO BE DONE.
One option is to store the result of each panel in the main screen in the DB. So then, when the user leaves & redirects back. I could check for a querystring then call a datareader and populate original values appropriately.

Create A Custom FTP Server For An Application?
Jun 10, 2010As i am trying to create a custom FTP server for an application i've been reading up on this for a while. One part of the problem is obviously the multi threading issue.Now i know that the synclock command will lock an object to the thread that requested it's lock, however in an example on the internet i found the following construction and i am wondering why he would do this.
Code:Private Sub ProcessClient( NewClient As Client )Call SendMessage( "530 Acces Denied", NewClient.ControlSocket) more codeEnd Sub Private Sub SendMessage(ByVal message As String, ByVal ToSocket as Socket)Dim CurrentThread As Thread = Thread.CurrentThread SyncLock CurrentThreadToSocket.Send(Message)End SyncLockEnd Sub Now ProcessClient is a thread that is trying to do some stuff with a newly connected client and SendMessage is just a sub in the same class as where the thread was created. Now normally one would synclock a "syncobject" however here he calls a sub and then from that sub he synclocks to the thread that called it. I wonder what the use of that is and why he does it this way?
I have removed the synclock statement and as I expected it functions exactle the same as it does with it. I tested it with multiple users at the same time trying to connect to it.
Display Custom Cursor In WPF Application?
May 3, 2011I have a set of cursors (.cur files) that I want to use with my WPF/VB.net application, without changing the cursors system-wide. I am assuming that I would somehow use each WPF object's "cursor" property, but I'm not sure how to use my own cursors.

View 5 RepliesCreating A Custom Documentation Application Using Word And .NET?
Jun 9, 2010Here at my company we have an Access application that allows users to create documents based on invoices that are in Great Plains, an accounting program. Documents such as invoices, packing lists, export documentation, etc., etc.This application is very old and very hard to maintain so we're doing a rewrite and I've chosen this project to be my first Visual Basic .NET project.Basically what the application is going to do is allow users to do the following:
Pull up invoice information and then add some secondary information such as comments and the like Choose which documents they want to print out Open the documents and then allow the user to edit the documents That last part is the tricky part. The users right now create these documents out of Access and print to a PDF and then edit the PDF with comments that can be specific to the document and customer. If they didn't have to do that, then I could just used canned reports or something.
What I am thinking of doing is creating Word templates with text boxes and inside those text boxes adding addressable bookmarks. When the user goes to print the documents, open Word, populate the bookmarks from the database (SQL Server) and then that will let them draw text boxes and fill them with whatever they want before they print the documents and then they can save them.
Here's the code I worked out to do this (of course the final result will be much more complex):
Public Const wdPageBreak = 7
Dim oWord As Word.Application
Dim oDoc As Word.Document

Custom DateTimePicker Value Isn't Saved In Application Settings
Nov 24, 2011I want to save a Custom DateTimePicker.Value in my Application Settings. The custom format is : dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss, instead of dd/MM/yyyy The field i've created in the application settings parameters is LASTSAVE (DATE / APPLICATION)
When I try to link in the ApplicationSettings/PropertyBinding ... VALUE with my field LASTSAVE, i have an error :
The Value '01/01/0001 00:00:00' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' mustbe ... 'MinDate' et 'MaxDate'.
Name of the parameter : Value
I then entered the MIN and MAX date in the properties of my control DATETIMEPICKER.
I have also put into the properties Value a start date like 23/11/2011 12:00:00 ;
However, when i retry to link in the ApplicationSettings/PropertyBinding ... value to LASTSAVE / I have the same error (The Value '01/01/0001 00:00:00' is not valid for 'Value'. ). I've saved all, do a process that put a value in the datetimepicker.value, but it's not saved, cause not linked.

View 1 RepliesImplement Custom Character Encoding Into An Application?
Feb 20, 2012I was wondering how to implement a custom character set for use by an application, i.e. hex bytes that are read by the program then converted and displayed in the window. If this requires first converting the bytes in a file to an already implemented character set, I'm cool with it - I'll go with whatever works or works best. I'm writing with VB.NET 2010, and running Windows 7 Home Premium x64, by the way.
View 2 RepliesSave One Of Custom Types To The Application Settings?
Mar 9, 2011(using VB.Net 2008) I am trying to save one of my custom types to the application settings. I've read a variety of opinions on the internet about whether this possible.
When creating an app setting, none of my types appear when browsing. However, previously I needed to save off one of my datasets, and it worked simply by hand-entering it as the setting type (ie, I just typed "MyProjectName.DatasetName"). However, when I try the same trick with another custom type that isn't a dataset, I get a "type was not found" error. So I'm a little confused, can the program "find" some custom types and not others?
