View 1 RepliesMy question maybe not be very clear, but I just want to know how this process is called or references needed to create something similar, so I can investigate on my own ( but if you have code is welcome.Basically I have 2 desktop programs ( A and B). For A, I do not have the source code, for B I do.What I need is to create some service/program that after a screen pops up from program A, automatically runs B. IN other words, capture the moment a specific screen is shown in A and execute B.
My real life scenario is that I have a very basic POS where I can't collect customer demographics ( zip code, etc), so I created a second application to capture that but my cashiers are always forgetting to run the program and I need to find a way to run it after a screen is shown ( let's say the "Change Due" in the POS, so they don't forget to run it.
I added a splash screen to my program, using the default one and just changing some of the information on it like copyright etc and rezized the form a bit. I set it to to start centre screen. I am not sure if I did any other changes.When it ran it came up with this error for the line I have added. I got it to copy the detail to clip boardif I specify the splash screen as none again, my program runs so something must be wrong with it
Here is the line that errors and the message.
Version.Text = System.String.Format(Version.Text, My.Application.Info.Version.Major, My.Application.Info.Version.Minor)

I am using Visual Basic under Visual Studio 2010 Professional and I selected .NET Framework 4 from the New Project Screen. The program will plot Strange Attractors and I need to set and/or clear pixels.I delcared the following
Declare
Function
SetPixel Lib
"gdi32"
[code]....
I can set pixels by using the following code, where intX and intY ade dimensioned as integer and &HFF00 is the Hexadecimal for red.
SetPixel(hDC, intX, intY, &HFF00)
After I finish plotting all the points I want to clear the screen back to all black or white or any predifined color. I was able to do this in earlier versions of Visual basic by using "CLS" but this is not available in the current version. how to clear the screen? Should I use one of the earlier versions (.NET Framework2.0, .NET Framework 3.0, etc, etc)?

I made an application that need some time to load. Therefore i want to use a splash screen with a progressbar.
I found some tutorials on how to create a splash, but they are just fake splash screens. They just set the interval at 25 seconds so the application has the time to load. Think thats very annoying if you have a fast computer that could load the application much faster then that. And what if you have a real slow one and the application needs to load longer then 25 seconds.
Is it hard to create a splash screen that only shows itself for the time the application needs to load? And how do i do that?
I am in a dual monitor environment. I have developed an application using VB.NET 2005.When I start my application, the splash screen always displays on the monitor where the mouse cursor is at, even if it is not the same monitor that the login and primary form open on.

View 2 RepliesI want to be able to create a tree view that can get its nodes form a directory on a computer. In the code below, I am able to get all of the files into a list, but I cannot get the folder correct. What I mean is in your user directory, you have sub directorys such as, Documents, Music, and Pictures. When you run this code, it displays them each as thier own node, not nested. I hope this makes sense.

Changed the code to the way spinion told me to. When I run this code I get an error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' when it starts to try and add files to the tree view.
I was trying to create a visualizer for IDictionary or ICollection Then like the simple visualizer (without dialog; I mean the ususal string visualizer that appears when hovering the variable, see image below), I want to make my custom text, I want to cast the collection to its type's list (I.E. StringCollection to List(Of String) or List) and then I will be able to see it in the visualizer. Or for Dictionaries show to lists visualizers for keys and for values.how to implement or even how to start?This is something I thought about:
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Collections;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
[code]....
I want to use something similar for ICollection (or IList), IDictionary etc.Note that in arrays, the visualizer shows every nested objcet.This is actually what I want to achieve:Try to visualize a List and you will see that there is a private value _items, so you can see its items. I want to achieve something similar in collection and dictionary.
Alright, I've been taking this class in school for Software development, and right now I am working on a assignment my professor is having us do, and honestly, I am kind of stumped here. Basically he wants us to create a form in Visual Studio 2005. It has a group box with two Radio buttons, (One for boys, One for Girls) and a List box that lists the corresponding names of the Gender you selected with a radio button.Alternatively, you can click the Report button and get the list that way.
Heres a screenshot of how he wants it: He wants us to use parallel arrays to make the list, each name has a corresponding M or F. So far I have the objects all set up, and the I have declared the parallel array like this in the Declaration of the form:

I am trying to create an autocad drawing in visual studio with the code :
Dim strTemplatePath As String = "C:\acad.dwt"
Dim acDocMgr As DocumentCollection = Application.DocumentManager
Dim acDoc As Document = acDocMgr.Add(strTemplatePath)
acDocMgr.MdiActiveDocument = acDoc
However, when I try to run the program I get an filenotfoundexception and the program asks me to verify if the file exists in the specified location. The file does exist in the specified location.
I have a program I am trying to create in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, and have a few questions as to whether what I would like the program to do is even possible - Here is the idea of my program:
I have a main form with a ComboBox1, Pic1, ImageList1, and Label1 - In my ComboBox I have 118 entries, and 118 corresponding Images in the ImageList control - Right now I have it set to show the Image from the ImageList when a ComboBox1 entry is clicked, by the Index number:
If ComboBox1.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then
Pic1.Image = ImageList1.Images(ComboBox1.SelectedIndex)
Else
Pic1.Image = Nothing
End If
What I want to know is, Can I make it so I can add/update entries in the ComboBox1 and ImageList1 at runtime? Such as, have an 'Open' dialog to import the Image I want to add, and a simple InputBox to add to the Combo1 list? Also, if this IS possible, if I add Items at runtime, won't it mess up my Indexes, and then the correct Images from the ImageList1 won't be the ones that show?
I know, lot of questions, but I am trying to cleanse my mind of VB6, and focus on .NET - More complicated, but I like the appearance of the finished programs much better, without stupid additional OCX's

I basically want to make this in my application, so our technicians have an easier time installing our software. So far, I made a form with 4 text boxes: Server name, user name, password, and a combo-box to select a database.Everything was pretty easy until the database selection code. Microsoft's wizard is very efficient, there's no wait time when the database combo box is being filled.[code]That code gets the databases just fine, but obviously if an exception happens the whole screen locks up and it might take a while to recover depending on what the database error is. My question is, can I make mine just as cool/efficient as Microsoft's?
