The problem is because your using your own Graphics object and you don't need to. The Graphics object is supplied to you in the args for the Paint event. If you use your's, everything you paint will be overlayed by the Graphics object in the Paint event args.
Sooooo....
Public Class Form1
Private _pen As Pen = New Pen(Color.Black, 3)
Private Sub uxDiameterTrkbar_Scroll(....) Handles uxDiameterTrkbar.Scroll
uxDiameterLbl.Text = uxDiameterTrkbar.Value.ToString
uxCanvasPicbx.Invalidate()
End Sub
Private Sub uxCanvasPicbx_Paint(....) Handles uxCanvasPicbx.Paint
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
Dim ul, lr As Integer
lr = uxDiameterTrkbar.Value
ul = ((200 - lr) / 2)
g.Clear(Color.White)
g.DrawEllipse(_pen, ul, ul, lr, lr)
End Sub

Hello,
ComponentOne has a control, XLS.NET, that will allow you to open and manipulate existing Excel files as well as create new ones. Rows and columns are accessed like a grid, so the object model will be familiar to most users. We also have a grid control, FlexGrid.NET, that allows you to load Excel files into the grid and save the grid layout and data to an xls file.
If you are interested, more information is available at http://www.componentone.com. All of our products are available as fully functioning evaluations at http://www.componentone.com/Downloadcenter.aspx?PanelIndex=4.
Happy Friday

Greetings! me again.
In a listview, how can I get the index # of the currently slected row?
I see how to get a collection of selected items and a collection of checked items, but not the last selected item.
It's been a long rainy day, help please.
Thanks,
Karen

I'm not at my machine with '05 on it, but is there not a Object.SelectedItem.Index property? If not you will need to code a loop for 0 to count-1 to go through and try to match the selected item (i.e. object.items(loopvar) = object.selecteditem then loopvar will have your index value and you can exit the for loop.

Thanks all!
I found it, just thought I'd pass it on.

Hello,
This is my first go at implementing an interface for a connection, reader, ect.. and it is also my first go at a three tier design,Although i have been studing this for some time now tring to put all of these pieces togeather. I feel like i am getting to a point that i can comfortably work with this type of suggest design.
I am having trouble connecting to the database. The error that i am getting says that the object is not set to an instant of an object,, ( ok so i might say hey,, i kown what this is, but with the interfaces there is no way to just say, dim my iDBC as new idbconnection)'' Can someone please look at my code and help me pinpoint what needs to be corrected. Not just the connection but the rest of the implementation.It would really help me out alot, because i am into new waters.
===================
*** this is what i have created to test with so that once i can get going with this then i can move forward with the real stuff.. I would be so greatful to have developers that can point out a better way of strongly typeing my database here.. One of the reasons that i want to learn implementing this this way is because from what i understand this is the correct way(maybe not exactly the way that i have it ).. Any help at all would be great!!!

OK, first of all, the reason why you would create a generic interface for data access is to hide the database implementation from your application.
For example, if you want to write a single front-end application that will work with both Access and SQL Server, then you wouold create generic interfaces like IConnection, IParameter, ICommand. Your application would work with these interfaces only.
Then you would have two families of classes, one for Access, one for SQL Server, that implement the common interfaces.
In your code, you are explicitly using the SqlClient family of data access. Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this. But there is no point in doing both - if you are going to explicitly bind your application to SQL Server, there is no point in going through interfaces.
Assuming you want to use interfaces, and not bind to a specific database type, you have to create implementation classes. As you point out, you cannot declare an Interface class as New. That is because the interface is only a definition. Instead what you need to do is create an implementation class that returns objects that implement the interfaces.
You never actually work with a SqlConnection. Instead you work through a custom class that entirely encapsulates the connection object for you.
This is difficult to explain.
There is a book, however, that has a full set of working examples for using indirect data access through interfaces:
Professional Design Patterns in VB.NET, by Fischer, et al. Published by a-Press. I think their code is available on the publishers website, but you really need the book to understand the concepts.

thank you for your help!
I will go with your suggestion and lay off of the Interfaces, i believe it is beyond my brain at this point!  ~ However i will look for the book in the coming weeks...

Creating a truly functional abstract data access interface/implementation architecture is extremely challenging. Fischer et al devote almost 50 pages to the subject, and at the end they have only implemented two generic objects - DataReader and DataSet objects. A Data Reader is a forward, read only object - not too complicated. And a DataSet is already platform independent by nature.
And they "cheat" a lot too - their design assumes all parameters are strings, for example.
It's not easy. People struggle with these concepts for a long time. The best thing to do is start small - create small experimental projects until you rfeally understand how the interface and implementations really fit together.

Greetings!
Private Sub uxGpDirectoryTree_DoubleClick( _
ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles uxGpDirectoryTree.DoubleClick
uxBaseDirCmbbx.Text += uxGpDirectoryTree.SelectedNode.Text + "\"
End Sub
Everytime this code is invoked, it invokes another method (uxBaseDirCmbbx.SelectedIndexChanged) - except for the last subfolder. I assume this is because the Text property has changed.
So why not on the last subfolder?
Thanks,
Karen

Greetings!
I'm having trouble with my treeview. Once I select a node from the treeview, it invokes the AfterSelect event, re-fills my nodes and the re-executes the AfterSelect event (again) - thus re-filling my node tree:
Private Sub uxGpDirectoryTree_AfterSelect( _
ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewEventArgs) _
Handles uxGpDirectoryTree.AfterSelect
Me.StartDir += uxGpDirectoryTree.SelectedNode.Text + "\"
call fillDirectoryTree()
End Sub
Private Sub fillDirectoryTree()
Dim arrSubfolders() As DirectoryInfo
arrSubfolders = New DirectoryInfo(Me.StartDir).GetDirectories
uxGpDirectoryTree.Nodes.Clear()
For Each subfolder As DirectoryInfo In arrSubfolders
uxGpDirectoryTree.Nodes.Add(subfolder.Name)
Next
End Sub
I have debugged and it does cycle more than once. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Karen

It looks like you're wiping out your entire TreeView, then refilling it with the subdirectories under the node that was selected. Is this really what you want?

hello frnds can u tell me how v can lock the movement of the alt+clrt+tab keys in a vb application
|
|
|
|
|
What do you mean by "lock the movement of the alt-ctrl-tab keys"? What does "lock the movement mean". Ctrl-Alt-Tab doesn't really do anything specific so it's hard to tell what you want this to do.

hello buddy,
Alt+ctrl+tab key is used to move among the different applicaitons running on the window platform. So i want to stop the switching of the programs when my application is running on the system. if u knw pls help me
|
|
|
|
|
It's Alt-Tab and Alt-Shift-Tab that do that. The Ctrl key doen't do anything.
You'll have to write a low level keyboard hook to do this. Search the articles and Google for "vb.net keyboard hook" and you'll find some examples.
I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you had very specific reasons for including this "feature". "Just to have it" will get your app uninstalled in a heartbeat.

I need some help on how to correctly use BeginInvoke.
Here's the scenario:
I have a panel on my form called Panel1 and I have a button that I use to execute a query that can have multiple resultsets.
I'm executing the query asynhcronously and then I dynamically add x number of datagrids to Panel1, where x is the number of resultsets returned by the query.
At the point at which I add the datagrid to panel1 the code stops executing and nothing gets added to Panel1.
I've looked at using the Control.BeginInvoke method but ended up making more of a mess of things. 
Hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance.
The code looks something like this:
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Public Delegate Sub MakeGrids(ByVal ResultsTable As DataTable)<br />
<br />
Private Sub ExecuteThreadedQuery()<br />
<br />
'do various things and fill a dataset with the query results<br />
<br />
'loop through each table in dataset<br />
For Each table as datatable in dataset.tables<br />
<br />
<br />
Dim NewGrid As New MakeGrids(AddressOf AddResultsGrid)<br />
<br />
'call the AddResultsGrid sub using BeginInvoke<br />
NewGrid.BeginInvoke(ResultsTable, Nothing, Nothing)<br />
<br />
<br />
Next <br />
<br />
<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
<br />
Private Sub AddResultsGrid(ByVal ResultsTable As DataTable)<br />
<br />
Dim ResultsGrid as DataGrid<br />
<br />
'assign relevant properties to the grid and bind it to the ResultsTable which has been fed through<br />
<br />
<br />
'Add it to the panel<br />
Panel1.Controls.Add(ResultsGrid) '***AT THIS POINT THE CODE STOPS EXECUTING AND NOTHING IS ADDED TO THE PANEL<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
<br />

Hello!
Suppose i want to navigate from one form (Form1) to another form (Form2), then i want to cancel the first form (Form1) and then only want to show second form (Form2). What should i do?
Regards,
Arfan Qadir

|
|
just do this
form1.hide
form2.show
V.Gopi
|
|
|
|

Just be advised that if you follow those steps and hide form1, the resources allocated with it still exist. The form really still exists but you can't see it.
