Use The Text Of A Label As A Value For A Valuable?
Nov 1, 2010
I have a simple question (I am sure) but I could not find out how I should resolve. Here it is: In my form I have a label which gets its text by databindings.add method. Here is the code I have.
What I would like to do is to use this text of this label (lblCOPPrice) as the value of my variable in a module. I simply wanted to do this as the below code but what I get is the initial text of this control.
copprice = lblCOPPrice.Text
I know that I should use in the code something like lblCOPPrice.databindings and someting but what is it?
I have been looking at a few of our VB.NET dll's using FxCop and all of the errors relate to DLL setup (i.e. Strong Names, Culture Info) and the case of Variables methods. Looking at a few examples of FxCop examining a C# Dll, it appears to offer a lot more potential errors.
Does this mean that FxCop is more valuable on C# developments that VB.NET or have I just chosen bad examples.
I thought it was the case that FxCop worked on IL rather than the specific languages, so am I just missing rules files for VB.NET or are there more available for C#?
I have a form that I am loading text (strings) from a database into a label.text (so the text from the database shows up into the label) I have done this code in a class that keeps all my database stuff seperate.
Public Function getQuestions() As List(Of String) Dim question As New List(Of String) objConnection.Open() objReader = objcommand.ExecuteReader
[CODE]...
Within the form that the label is in I have done this code
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Label1.Text(db.getQuestions().ToArray) End Sub
I am basically making a quiz, so that when the form loads, question 1 is on there is 4 possible answers. You then press next button and it goes to the next question.
Is there an effecient way to give one label the ForeColor, BackColor and Text of another one of 3 possible labels? I need to do this frequently for a dozen labels in a windows form.
I am using a label to display a song for an mp3 player. I wanted to scroll the text inside the label for anything that is longer than the label width. I figured out the width of the label and if the width of the text inside the label is longer. But I have no idea how to turn this into subtracting parts/pixels of the text currently displayed and how to append the subtracted parts to the end of the new text.
Sub f1timer2tick() Dim g As Graphics = f1l2.CreateGraphics Dim s As SizeF If f1l2.Text.Length > 19 Then
basically i need to change the text of a label where the name of the label comes from the value of a variable.So, for example,
Dim x as String = "lblTarget" Dim y as String = "Target Text"
In this case the text of "lblTarget" would need to be come "Target Text". Basically, the label that is named the value of variable x would need to take on the text of variable y.
Is there any way to detect if the text in a label is longer than the label itself (assuming autosize is set to false)? I want to trim the text in a label so the last line is a finished sentence (everything after that sentence is removed). I hope you understand what I mean.
I want to go from this:"Hello. This is a test string. Most test stri..."
The code above is what I am using to add the Value of Label 1 (Pizza Total) and Label 2 (Drinks Total), however it seems that in the final total it doesn't appear to add the value of Label 2.
I am having trouble adding label.text, datetimepicker.text and ComboBox1.Text into listview1 box.I have set up multiple columns, one for the label, one for the date and one for the combo box text. All i have done is:
I have a label that reads a random line from a text file and that string becomes the text for the label.
Now the problem; the label will only work if it is clicked because the event handler is click.What I need is this to work automatically at startup. In other words, it should change the label's text to the random string of the text file on startup of the application.
I cant seem to find any link or topic regarding my problem. I have 2 forms in a project, form one has labels and adjacent combobox while the other form (form 2)has textboxes with adjacent combobox. I am supposed to change the text property of the labels using textbox entry from form 2 and add/delete/change combobox contents in fom 1 using entries combobox at form 2.
I would like to know if there was a way to loop through all the checkboxes on a form and if the checkbox is checked then I need it to copy the text from the checkbox and the label. Thera are 23 of these labels with two checkboxes for each.I need to be able to paste this in notepad and have it formated as such
I am wondering if there is a simple way to make the text to speech occur after the updating of label.text
If I have the following:label.Text = "words words" voice.Speak(label.Text)
I would like the label on the form to display "words words" before it speaks. I'm a beginner with vb, and the only thing I could come up with was to use a timer. Just wondering if there's a simpler/more sophisticated solution.
I have this problem but I already simplify the code as below:Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Label1.Text = "hello" System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) 'MessageBox.Show("hahahaha") Label1.Text = "world" End Sub
What I'm trying to achieve here is, after I click the button, the label1.text should change to hello, and after that to world. But I couldn't achieve that. Instead when I click the button, it just paused for 5 second and displayed world.System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) The code is just a dummy for a loop that I have.
My application outputs log text every so often and I need the user to be able to see the latest text at all times. I've tried a label, a text box and a rich text box, but I can't figure out a way to show the bottom-most text at all times.
I am new to the forums and just started to learn vb.net. Currently I am making a project that require a lot of text. Since I would need over 20 labels and do not want to hide every single one, is there a way to place text on a specific place on form through coding. Then, I could just make it a sub and easily hide the text and reveal it
I am making a simple form which has multiple hidden panels and quite a lot of text on it.The form has 7 panels with 2 labels (or would you recommend I use text boxes?) per panel,which I was going to set to a specific line from the text file. My rationale was that if I wanted to edited the label's text I only had to go to the text file.
This is the only way I know how to obtain the info I need for this equation but if generated again with no input from the textboxes I get an error. Is there anyway to bypass this if its generated a second time with no inputs?
I�d like the letters H, M and S to be of different colors. I know I could set up three different labels and color them but I was wondering if exists a trick which allows me to change colors with the same label.
I have 2 labels which contains the X and Y coordinates of the map.How do I create a copy function in such a way that when I click on the X-Coordinate label. It will just automatically copy the value in the label for me therefore I can just ctrl + v the X value in a excel spreadsheet without having to type it out manually..
I'd like the following 4 characters cycle in a label (I think it�s the old UNIX progress bar):
[Code]...
I accomplished it by using 4 timers used as flip flop but I don�t think it�s the right way to do it. Is there an easier way to accomplish it by using looping? I tried with no avail even by using 4 labels and overlapping them.
Ive changed the autosize property from true to false and then I changed the the width and height but All that did was change the box around the label. How do you enlarge the text in the label box?
