How many weeks have you had to do this? You've got one week to write a program in a language you've never used? To be perfectly honest, you're screwed.

First, I doubt anyone even has any RTC code for VB6. Second, their not going to give it you just so you can copy and paste it into your app and call it your own.

But, here's[^] the documentation, with a few C++ samples, and the Microsoft RTC Client SDK.

Losing Focus

Members,

I am interested in maintaining my tab order on a web page. I have a very simple page with 2 dialog boxes & 2 dropdownlist boxes.

Field1 DropDownList1
Field2 DropDownList2

I have the tab order set from left to right from the top down. So, you cursor move from Field1 to DropDownList1, to Field2 and finally to DropDownList2.

However, when the selectedindexchanged event fires, I no longer maintain my focus and leave DropDownList1 and land in Field2.

Where does the cursor go (besides the address bar of the current webpage) and how to I get the focus to move to the next field in order?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Since this is a web application, you have no control over the focus from VB.NET. You'll have to add JavaScript to your web page to control the focus. But, I have no idea how to do it.

Dave,

I do know how to set focus with javascript, in fact, I have a utility DLL compiled with my application for setting the focus on a specific control when a web page loads.

However, when I put that function in as the last statement of my .SelectedIndexChanged event -- I can see the focus go there, but it does not stay because the page gets refreshed again (I suppose).

Yes it does. This is why you really can't control the focus from the server-side. The focus must be setup and controlled entirely in client-side JavaScript in your page.

For Each element In Processor<br />

The message box will show you System Name.

This code won't show you all the machines on the network.

Though it'll show you all the processors on the local machine, it's not appropriate for getting the machine name.

Thanx in advance

Why couldn't you do something like this...

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

If Not IsPostBack Then
Load_DD(m_dd1, "SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER", "Customer_Name", "Customer_ID")
Load_DD(m_dd2, "SELECT * FROM PRODUCT", "Product_Name", "Product_ID")
etc...
End If

End Sub

Private Sub Load_DD(ByVal MyDropDown, ByVal MyQuery, ByVal MyText, ByVal MyField)
Dim ErrorMessage As String
Dim ds As DataSet

Try
ds = A_DB_Function_That_Returns_A_DataSet(MyQuery)
MyDropDown.DataSource = ds
MyDropDown.DataTextField = MyText
MyDropDown.DataValueField = MyField
MyDropDown.DataBind()

Catch ex As Exception
ErrorMessage = ex.Message
Finally

End Try
End Sub

If you want to set the X,Y location of a control, you have to set it's Dock property to None. Since your setting it to top, it's doing exactly what it's told. Ignoring the location property and attaching itsefl to the top of the container, in your case - the form.

Just set their Location.X and Location.Y properties and add them to whatever container your putting them in.

Dim myButton As New Button
myButton.Location = New Point(X, Y)
Me.Controls.Add(myButton)

Just be sure your not using the same X and Y values for the location.

Where are you changing the value of y in this loop? Every iteration of this loop uses the exact same value of Y because you never change it. You might want to change your code a bit to do this.

For i As Int16 = 0 To Dv_Tag.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
    CheckBox1 = New CheckBox
    AddHandler CheckBox1.Click, AddressOf CheckBox1_Click 
 
    CheckBox1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(150, 24)
    y+=28
    CheckBox1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(25, y)
    CheckBox1.SetBounds(25, y, 150, 24)
    Me.Controls.Add(CheckBox1)
Next
