View 3 RepliesWhen I press a button on my form i need it to open a file. E.g. I want it to open a song (in windows media player, windows media player is the default program to open mp3's)
Shell("C:UsersTomDesktopmysong.mp3")
When trying the above ^ it just says file cannot be found.
I have a button on my form where I'm showing a ContextMenu when the user left clicks on it, I'm actually using MouseUp right now to show it.What I would like to have happen is the user click on the button, the button stays pressed while the ContextMenu shows, it returns to normal when the ContextMenu closes (Either a menu item was selected, the user hits the escape key or they click/tab to somewhere else). Also I'd like to position the ContextMenu in the lower left corner if the menu opens down or the top left corner if it opens up. So the left edge of the ContextMenu is flush with the left edge of the button.Moreso the button staying pressed until the ContextMenu is closed.
Edit: I'm also ok with this being it's own control inheriting the FW's Button that used the assigned ContextMenu as well.
how do i insert text for the designated object when the help button (next to the 'close' button) is pressed?

View 3 Replieshow I could make an application in visual basic 2008/vb2005 that detects when a new file is downloaded. One of my old time friends created the same app with visual basic 2008. It notifys you when your attempting to download a file. For e.g: I try to download "aim6.exe"
it will show a message: "C:UsersMATTST~1AppDataLocalTempsXx0Fd31.exe.part is attempting to be downloaded"
I think it uses a file system watcher.
I have an xml file that I download from a secure site every 5 minutes, I have the application set to download at 3 minutes after the hour so it runs at 3, 8, 13, and so on. The file is supposed to be there within a minute after the 5 minute increment has occured however this is not always the case, so I changed the download time from 2 minutes after the hour to 3 minutes. However I am still running into issues with it not being there even then. What I want to do is validate the downloaded xml file to ensure that the data is there and if it is not wait 10 seconds and rerun the download again.
if the file is valid it will call the SQL import Sub (),if not it needs to delete the existing file and rerun the download sub again.The problem I am having is that all the examples that I have seen when I google are for validating the xml file prior to upload or upon the xml files creation.
I have made a downloader in Visual Basic 2008, using the Webclient that is built in. This is the code i have to download the file[code]...
So instead of just saving it to C: automaticlly, i want a Save dialog that the user can choose where to save the file.
I have searched for almost a hour now, but i can't find the proper code for my purposes.
I am using a WebBrowser-Control to fill in a webform and then click at a button, this currently results in a standard Download File Dialog (you get these if you download a file using internet explorer), but instead, I have to catch this file and save it automatically with a by me defined name to a specific folder.I am trying to code a little application in vb.net which download the Export-file from my wordpress-blog, and I want to do this completely without user-interaction.Currently everything works, except the downloading of the file.I tried to catch it with the event System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser.Navigating(ByVal Object, ByVal System.Windows.Navigation.NavigatingCancelEventArgs) but I don't see where to download the file from?
View 3 RepliesI am working on a website at the moment which is displaying a strange bug with generated word documents. The site has a feature on it which allows the user to download a word document containing information related to their visit. This file is generated via some vb.net code and takes an xml template of the final document and inserts the relevant content required.
The strange behaviour is that on some machines the .doc file generated displays fine and on others it displays as XML when opened in Word. Both behaviours have been seen in the same version of Office (2003) but on seperate machines. My question is really whether the error lies with the set up of word on the individual machines, or whether there is an error in the code.
The code to create the file and download it is as follows:
Response.Clear()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline; filename=MyNewFile")
Response.ContentType = "application/msword"

I have recently programmed a site that enables a user to upload and download files to and from an FTP site.

All the examples ive found so far point at using imagemagik or another add in.

View 7 RepliesI have a process serves as an application updater.It checks it's local cache of files and compares this against list of files online.On it's first run there are no files in the local cache and it therefore downloads ~100 of these files.[code]This appears to work very well, since Explorer confirms that all files are extracted and available.However when I later run this process again, it cannot verify the existence of 6 of these files and therefore tries to download them despite the fact that they are clearly both present and up to date.The offending code is a simple File.Exists call which appears to deny the local existence of these files, and therefore tries to get them again.The system continues to work well, but over time the continual downloading of these 6 files is going to get kind of silly.

I have a datagridview on a form. I have the .selectionmode set to FullRowSelect.
I use the datagridview.select to put the focus on the form. Pressing up/down arrows they navigate through the results.
How do I capture the enter button being pressed on the current row they have highlighted?
What I will do is take the ID field of that row, I just need to know how to capture the enter button being pressed in that datagridview.

I tried your code and got it to work - put buttons on my form, etc. I included the AddHandler for each btnNew(index):

I have a button on a form, and I want to increment a counter an display it in a lable, while the buttion is pressed. Similiar to a numberic up down control. The reason is that I want to use a custom looking button, rather than the look of the numeric up down control.
Is there an easy way to do that while the button is being pressed? Or would it make sense to change the look of the numberic up down (I don't want UP and DOWN on the same control, though).
I'm developing a interface in VB.net which will control two stepper motors. Counting on your tips I managed to control them manually I mean, there're 4 buttons used to move the motors clockwise and anti-clockwise. The point is, the main part of our project is control the motors automatically. Our idea is based on two editable fields, X and Y, where the user would insert the displacement value he'd like the motor to move. After filling up both fields, the "GO" buttons would be pressed. So the loop would run depending on the displacement values in X and Y.
Attached you can find the main screen:

Public Class Form3
Dim velocidade As Double = 0.004
Dim X As Integer = 0

Im looking for guidance/example on how to track if a button was pressed so that I can turn on another button and turn off the first button. I am saving a bunch of user data to a text file & that works fine. Once the user enters all of the required data, I turn on button "btnCBSave". What I am trying to accomplish is once button "btnCBSave" has been pressed once, turn itself off and make button "btnCBNew" visable so that the user can enter new data.
My little chunk of code is below:
CODE:
On an form i have few labels, upon clicking on that labels i want to display an another form which contains 3 textboxes(Default,Current,New) and 3 buttons(Default,Current,new). I need to save the values of all the textboxes to the label's tag, but the label's text will contain the value of the textbox based upon the button which is pressed. i.e if 'Default' button is pressed then the 'Default' textbox text should be the label's text. I have created a class with three mem. variables to the save these class objects in the labels tag. But how should i know which button was pressed.
View 3 RepliesI have a simple windows application that pops up an input box for users to enter in a date to do searches.
How do I identify if the user clicked on the Cancel button, or merely pressed OK without entering any data as both appear to return the same value? I have found some examples of handling this in VB 6 but none of them really function in the .NET world.
Ideally I would like to know how to handle the empty OK and the Cancel seperately, but I would be totally ok with just a good way to handle the cancel.
