The stuff in bold, just leave it as CDate(VariableName). Before you run this command do something like If OrderDate.Trim = "" Then OrderDate = DBNull.Value to insert a NULL value instead of trying to convert a blank value to a date.

I am still getting the same error. I am beginning to believe this can't be done with vb.net and MySQL.

Try a Parameterized statement, search Google for Parameterized Query. There you would setup your statement like the following.
Dim MyCommand As New Odbc.OdbcCommand("INSERT INTO ls_orderitems (OrderDate, OrderCustomer, OrderAcctNum, OrderType, OrderSoNum, OrderItemPartNum, OrderItemPartDesc, OrderItemQty, OrderItemQtyRec, OrderItemQtyDtRec, OrderItemBO, OrderItemBODt,OrderItemCanceled, OrderItemCanceledDt, OrderItemNotes, OrderItemPONum, OrderItemRetailPrice, OrderItemSalePrice, Status, InsertDate) VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ? ,?, ?, ?, ?, ?)<br />
<br />
If OrderDate.Trim <> "" Then<br />
MyCommand.Parameters.Add("@OrderDate", CDate(OrderDate))<br />
Else<br />
MyCommand.Parameters.Add("@OrderDate", DBNull.Value)<br />
End If
Repeat the above for all dates and for the rest just use the line inside the If part.

Oh it can be done. It's just a matter of doing it correctly. Concatenting strings together like your doing is not it. I've already told you how to do it with a parameterized query.

I have a rich text box, when I change the font size and type something, everything is ok, then when I hit return and go to the next line the Caret goes back to the default size then when I start to type again it returns to the new font size, how can I get the Caret to stay the same size as the chosen font size.
|

|

You've got no control over the caret size in the RTB, or any other standard textbox for that matter.
The reason it's doing this because there is no text on that line with the size of the font your using. It won't change to the new size, as you've found out, until there is something on that line in the new size.
I don't know how your going to change the size of the caret, and more importantly, keep it that size when the RTB is resizing it to what it wants every time the cursor moves.

Does the caret actually change or is it just the spacing that changes. I tried it by setting a large font as the default font. I ran the program and typed some stuff and then clicked a button which altered the selectionfont to a smaller font. When I hit enter the caret was the appropriate height but the space for the line appeared to fit the larger default font. Once I typed something the spacing was set correctly but the issue persisted with every new line I made.
I messed around with overriding wndproc and I think I guessed correctly. I seem to have fixed the issue. You'll have to create your own class that inherits the richtextbox. The fix is a simple one. However, you'll have to use your 'new' control instead of the standard richtextbox. Here is the code. Let me know if you have any issues.
Public Class MyRTB
Inherits RichTextBox
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
If m.Msg = &H444 AndAlso m.WParam.ToInt32 = 1 Then m.WParam = New System.IntPtr(3)
MyBase.WndProc(m)
End Sub
End Class

Hmmm... Interesting. Which message is it looking for?

The message is EM_SETCHARFORMAT. I noticed that when you set the Font property for the RichTextBox this message is sent. So I looked for it when I set the SelectionFont property. Sure enough it was sent then as well. I looked for a difference and noticed the messages only differ by the wparam value. A value of 4 was being sent when you set the Font and a value of 1 was being sent when you set SelectionFont. So I figured why not change it and see what happens. I tried a 2 and then a 3. 3 seemed to fix the problem. Although I never fully tested the consequences so some thorough testing should be done.

I tried using the code to make a New control, but I get a squiggley under
Inherits RichTextBox with the message RichTextBox not defined.
I am also currently using an extended RichTextBoxPrintCtrl so ideally I would like to keep this control with what you have suggested placed in there, if that's possible?
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe try the full path "Inherits System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox". The fix should work with your extended class. As long as it's a RichTextBox at the heart. All you should have to do is copy and paste the WndProc method.

So the code didn't change anything at all? What version of Visual Studio are you using? I'm using 2005 and that worked great for me. If we're using different versions of the .net framework then maybe our RTB's are also slightly different. Is the code even executing? Try breaking the if then statement up and putting a break point on the code that executes. Also add in a line that prints the message. You can output it however you like I usually just send it to the console or debug window.
If m.Msg = &H444 AndAlso m.WParam.ToInt32 = 1 Then
console.writeline(m.tostring)
m.WParam = New System.IntPtr(3)
End IF This code should execute whenever the font or selectionfont is changed. If it doesn't execute then that's good to know and clearly something is different, and if it does execute maybe the message is slightly different. If it does execute then post the output and we can see if there is a solution that will work for you. Please post the message you get when you change the font property as well as when you change the selectionfont property.

Hi TwoFace,
Thanks for the help so far. I'm using VB2005 Express Edition.
I tried the code in the RichTextBoxPrintControl.vb form but nothing happens, doesn't even get executed.
So I then tried it in the ctlFontCombo.vb form this is a control for the dropdown ComboBox problem now is the message
'Inherits' can only appear once within a 'Class' statment and can only specify one class.
I removed the Inherits RichTextBox and it kept looping with the message below.
<br />
msg=0x81 (WM_NCCREATE) hwnd=0x40670 wparam=0x0 lparam=0x3addbf4 result=0x0<br />
msg=0x7c (WM_STYLECHANGING) hwnd=0x40670 wparam=0xfffffffffffffff0 lparam=0x3add300 result=0x0<br />
msg=0x7d (WM_STYLECHANGED) hwnd=0x40670 wparam=0xfffffffffffffff0 lparam=0x3add300 result=0x0<br />
msg=0x7c (WM_STYLECHANGING) hwnd=0x40670 wparam=0xffffffffffffffec lparam=0x3add300 result=0x0<br />
msg=0x7d (WM_STYLECHANGED) hwnd=0x40670 wparam=0xffffffffffffffec lparam=0x3add300 result=0x0
If it would help I could zip it all up so that you can see the full program my email is spare.box@(noSpam)virgin.net just remove the (noSpam) bit and let me know I will then send you a link to where it can be downloaded.
Cheers
Graham

My guess is at the moment we aren't on the same page. You said you changed the font...how? Please provide that code so I can see exactly how your doing it. Also any other snippets of code that you think might help. The RichTextBox class you provided works for me. I feel I may not have an accurate picture of what your doing or how your doing it. Please post the code and elaborate/clarify as best you can. Maybe we can figure it out here. If you'd like you can email me your code so I can get a better look at everything. Please send it to KVSJOVEJASMI@spammotel.com. Or if you prefer just email me a link to where I can get it. If you really want to avoid spam check out spammotel.com  It's a free simple service I discovered a few years ago. I can definitly vouch for it.

You had me spooked there! It appeared NO messages were being recieved by the richtextbox. I was so confused. Then I noticed it...rtbText is a ExtendedRichTextBox.RichTextBoxPrintCtr. You made a dll. You need to change the code and recompile the dll. I made the change and it worked. Nice program by the way!
|
|
|
|

You made a dll
Well no actually it was one that I downloaded from one of the many VB sites.
You need to change the code and recompile the dll.
How is this done? I changed the code and did a rebuild but still nothing happens, but as you did get it to work it's obviously something that I'm not doing, like I said I only downloaded the dll I have not had a lot of dll experience. Using them yes, creating and building them no, maybe I should have a go when this current project is finished.

Oh, I see. Getting it to work isn't a big deal. I just assumed you had created the dll. What you want to do then is remove rtbText from your application. That control is using the dll which your not going to modify so just remove it. The RichTextBoxPrintCtrl class on your form should appear as a usable control in the toolbox. When I extend a control like that it usually appears under a tab with the name of my application followed by components. For your app I can see the control under "QuickWord Components" which appears at the top of the toolbox. Hopefully you can see the control there. If so just drag it onto your form and rename it to rtbText. Everything should work as though nothing had changed. You may actually have two RichTextBoxPrintCtrl available. So you'll have to make sure you get the right one. Just drop either one onto your form and test it. One should work, the other won't. The other way to make absolutly sure you've got the right control is to add this line to the wndproc method you added to your class.
console.WriteLine(m.ToString) If your using the right control you should see alot of messages in the console window.

|

|

That’s done it
I never thought that after I altered the dll to then reintroduce it on to the form.(It’s always the Obvious!)
Thanks for all your help, understanding and patience, I think it’s fair to say that I’ve learned quite a lot from this thread and I hope others do too.

but i dnt knw that can v interface our appliaction to OS or not...
please help.

I can't understand your question, but from what I'm guessing, you want to either write your own calculator app, which isn't that hard, or you can launch the Windows Calculator app using the Process class.
