Winforms - Change Caret Colour Or Hide?

View 5 RepliesPassword Protect A Single Form In A Winforms Application?
Nov 21, 2011I've a winforms application that is using SQLite database. There is no encryption on the database (data has to be shared with other user). It is a stand alone application with a stand alone local database.
The difficulty I'm encountering is when people go to bring all the data together.The databases are attached, data imported, but records are differentiated by a database GUID.At any rate I am desiring to have a database selection screen that is protected by a password to prevent users mistakenly switching databases (and some level of protection against malicious use).
Thinking it's probably not a particularly good idea to store the password in an unecrypted database.Security is not a large issue as this is only distributed to users that need the software.
What would be the best method to have the user type a password when they attempt to access the database selection screen? ShowDialog? Pop open a new child form with a password TextBox, then on validation (via button?) close the password form and open the protected form?I see a fair bit about protecting a whole application, but not so much about a specific form.

Winforms - Hide Button Text Or Make Image On Button Cover Text?
Aug 10, 2009I dynamically create buttons on a form and use the button text as ids so that I can pass that to an SQL query to pull saved data about that button when necessary, but I also use an image over buttons that have information saved about them. What I need to know is how do I keep the text on the button from appearing when there is an image assigned to that button? By default vb.net shows both the text and the image and no TextImageRelation values allow for the image to take precedence. I tried changing the text color to transparent, but the outline of the text is still visible through the image. Is there anyway to keep the text value as it is but just show the image on the button?
View 2 RepliesHide/Show Items - Possible To Hide A Group Of Text Boxes From View In A Form
May 5, 2012I'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?

View 1 RepliesPassword Characters - Get A Textbox Being Using For Password Entry To Display The Black Circle
Feb 10, 2009How do you get a textbox being using for password entry to display the black circle that you often see in web forms, on the iphone etc etc?
I can change the PasswordChar property to an asterisk no problem and even copying and pasting symbols inserted into Word seemed to work - just couldn't find a symbol that looked like a bullet point!
Can this actually be achieved for a standalone exe, or is it something unique to web forms? Surely copying and pasting symbols from Word isn't actually the answer?

IDE :: Set Project Default For Winforms Projects S/ Default Modifier For Controls Added To Winforms Is Private
May 28, 2010Is it possible to set a project default for VB.NET winforms projects so that the default Modifier for controls added to winforms is Private (not Friend)?I know there's a "modifiers" property in the properties window so I can set it for each individual control however I would like to change the project so from now on myself and other developers have to specifically decide to change from friend to private. (Which I would strongly discourage them from doing).I believe there is no way of doing this, but on another forum a while ago someone mentioned it would be possible with an add-in (but didn't name the add-in or where to get it).

ASP.NET Vs Winforms App ?
May 11, 2009I have a proto-type winform app designed by a colleague. My original plan was to create it using asp.net, but I'm not sure if I should just 're-create' it using asp.net or continue forward using the winforms. Either way, I'd use vb.net as the code-behind.
It's going to be a data collection app; originally it was going to allow the collection screens to by dynamically built, based on options selected by the end-users. However, that has changed to a one-size fits all approach.
I've never written anything using asp.net, so what I'd really like is some advice about what should I be looking for/at in this new app, in order to decide which way to finish it... asp.net OR winforms... Would there be any design/programming advantages to using asp.net over the winforms (other than the fact that my colleague already have about a dozen forms designed, but with NO code-behind)? Might there be end-user advantages to using asp.net vs winforms?
WPF App Vs WinForms App
Aug 10, 2009I'm currently studying for one of Microsoft's MCPD 3.5 certifications (VB 2008) and one of the things it makes use of is WPF applications. Based on what I've seen of them so far, they are basically like Windows Forms Applications. So my question about them is why was WPF created? What was Microsoft looking to accomplish with WPF since outside of the "web feel" in a windows environment, it basically looks like a WinForms application. What is the difference between the two and when sould I use one over the other?
View 1 Replies.net - Hide Files In USB From OS?
Apr 1, 2011Is there a way to store data on a USB file in a way that the OS cannot read it with the standard methods? I was thinking maybe with an uncommon filesystem, but then I 'd probably have to implement the IO myself, which sounds like a huge work.Another idea would be to access the disk sectors in a low level way and store data in an incompatible way? But I do not know where to begin.For the record, I am using VB.NET.
EDIT: Regarding the VALID security concerns you have raised: I agree, but assume that, all I need to do for the scope of my project, is to simply hinder the average and slightly advanced user. NOT the expert.
