Is there a way to get a tab character to display in a combobox.item? For example:
cbotest.Items.Add("abc" & vbTab & "xyz")
cbotest.SelectedIndex = 0
When the above item is added, the tab character is displayed as a box icon. Is there a way to force the tab to display like it normally is (vs. a special CTL character)?
Not a huge deal in that I can easily work around this, just thought I'd ask to expand the knowledge pool.
Any suggestions, ideas, or 'constructive criticism' are always welcome.

Only if you ownerdraw the combobox control and supply the drawing code to do it.

Roger. I figured that was going to be the answer, just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something silly.
thanks.

There are tons of examples and discussions out on the web. All you have to do is search[^]. BTW, VB6 is officially a dead language and has been for quite a while now. The next version of Windows will not support its runtime. I highly suggest getting VB.NET. You can get the Express Edition (free) from here[^].

Hi,
an Interface has a GetType() method, even in VB.NET
don't let Intellisense fool you (there may be a custom/all button that hides some).
|
|
|
|
|
thanks for ur answer
but anyway if i use like this ie interface.[gettype]() it shows an error that gettype is not a member of interface.

You can use Condition statements.

in vb 6.0 what i used to do was like this :
If rs.State = 1 Then
rs.Close
End If
qry = "select menu_id from user_rights where user_id = '" & id & "' order by menu_id"
rs.Open qry, conn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
While rs.EOF = False
For Each m In Me
If TypeOf m Is Menu Then
If Trim(m.HelpContextID) = rs(0) Then
m.Enabled = True
rs.MoveNext
End If
End If
Next
Wend
can i get to do something similar in vb.net 2005 ?
Thanks for reply

You can look into WIA, it can be used to tell most cameras to take a pic. Or you can look at the Canon SDK and my wrapper class ( it's a CP article ), but in that case, you need to buy a camera on ebay, none of the supported cameras on the SDK version I worked with, are still commercially available.

Hi,
I am working at a project in VB.net where I have to populate a listview (detail) with names and different colors for each item (color depending on status of name)
The project is has to be a part of a program written in C#.
When I use my code in a program completly in VB.Net all works fine. I can see de wanted colors. But in the project that is part of the C# programm all I get is the color chosen in the properties of the listview.
Also the toolstripbar is in desingmode blue, but when I run the program it is the windowcolor.
Is there a setting in C# that makes that the coloring dosn't work ?
Thanks
