View 5 RepliesReally wracking my brain here and I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing. Basically I have a form with two tabs. I'm checking the controls on each tab to see if they're dirty and want to prevent a user from clicking a tab if there are changes on the current tab.
I had thought if I check the dirty variable and just set the tab index to the one that hasn't been selected I'd be fine but every time I programatically set a tab's property, it fires off a bunch of the tab's events that just produce an undesireable result such as the right control set is showing but the wrong tab is selected. Here is the code for as close as I've gotten to getting it to work.

I'm having a problem with combo boxes. I usually use Java and it's been awhile since I used VB but I never remember having this much difficulty.My application is using an SDF file. From Data Sources, I drag the details on one of my Tables to my Form to get all of the fields. Three of them are comboboxes. Each of the three is an INT64 and each corresponds to a primary key in a different table. I click the tasks button on a combobox and for data source I select the appropriate table that has the data to go with the combobox, for display member I select the field that I want users to see, and for value member I select the primary key. Then I run a quick test and start the app, open the form, and add a new record. When I select a value from the combobox the selection won't validate because it doesn't think it's an INT64 like it should be. It seems to be using the display member as the actual value instead because if I change display member to the primary everything works great.

How do you reset a RichTextBox? I wrote some code that changes the
RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.White and
RichTextBox1.SelectionBackColor = Color.Red.
I'd like to change all the text in the RichTextBox back to Black and no back color.
net there are many standard colors are available . But how to know there numerical value. I want those numerical values so that by changing those I can obtain the required shades which are not available as standard colors.
E.g for black we know numerical RGB equivalent is 0, 0, 0 But what are RGB values for olive color?
how to do this color name to numeric RGB value conversion
I've got 2 radio buttons on a form and am trying to allow a user to change the color of the form based on which radio button is selected. I've used select case in a separate procedure to do this because ultimately I'd like to have about 1/2 dozen or so color options to choose from.
The color changes when the first radio button is selected (pink or green, doesn't matter), but when I try and select a 2nd option, the program crashes (VB 2010 Beta).
My code so far is:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub SetColourScheme(ByVal colour As String)
Select Case colour

I am trying to convert a value from a radio list box that is populated by an access database. The database loads fine, I have no trouble with that. My issue is that I am trying to take the value of the radio button chosen and turn it into a font color. Therein lies my problem. I see that it cannot be a string, but when I turn it into an object, I get an error. I will note that I am using VS 2008 (Windows Vista x64), and the database is compatible with a 2002 - 2003 Access database. I am using ASP.NET for my programming, however, I am trying to program it in VB. This is my code:

I have a winforms app using a trackbar. The BackColor property is available for change, but doing so makes the color of each "tick" almost invisible. I don't see an explicit property to modify the color of the "tick". Is there something I am missing or a way to change the color of the tick?

On my form I have three fields and a datagrid view.One field is a combo box.All fields are databound.The datagridview is a detail grid, bound in the "normal" way. Scrolling through records, etc., all work fine.What doesn't work is when a selection is made using the combo box.The underlying table has a self-join of one-to-many: ParentID, ChildID. ChildID is the main ID for the underlying table.Children may have a parent This is just by way of example.So, the combo box's Value is bound to ChildID, and the SelectedValue is bound to the ParentID.On the form one chooses the Parent with this combo box.When I test this arrangement, I select a Parent, then click Save (using the default toolbar actions). However, the combobox seems to "reset" the selection to the first in the list.
