Hi all,
I'm new into the forum and I have a question for you. How can I use the Win API 'SetParent' under VB 2008 to open a secondary form into a picturebox on a primary form? I need this because I want simulate a MDI form. For VB6 I used the following code and It works fine:
'<<declaration>>
Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowExA" (ByVal hWnd1 As Long, ByVal hWnd2 As Long, ByVal lpsz1 As String, ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long
'<<function>>
Public Function SetParentInRect(FormChild As Variant, FormParent As Variant)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim lChild As Long
Dim lParent As Long
On Error Resume Next
If IsObject(FormChild) Then
lChild = CallByName(FormChild, "hwnd", VbGet)
If lChild = 0 Then Err.Raise 1000, , "Cannot obtain handle from formchild"
Else
lChild = CLng(FormChild)
End If
If IsObject(FormParent) Then
lParent = CallByName(FormParent, "hwnd", VbGet)
If lParent = 0 Then Err.Raise 1000, , "Cannot obtain handle from formparent"
If TypeName(FormParent) = "MdiMain" Then
lParent = FindWindowEx(lParent, 0&, "MDIClient", vbNullString)
End If
If TypeName(FormParent) = "frmMain" Then
lParent = FormParent.picContainer.hWnd
End If
Else
lParent = CLng(FormParent)
End If
If Not IsWindow(lChild) Then Err.Raise 1000, , "Invalid form Handle : " & lChild
If Not IsWindow(lParent) Then Err.Raise 1000, , "Invalid form Handle : " & lParent
SetParent lChild, lParent
If False Then
ErrorHandler:
Err.Raise Err.Number, IIf(Len(Err.Source) > 0, Err.Source & "->", "") & "clsParent", Err.Description
End If
End Function
The sencondary form have the follwing property:
startupposition = manual
borderstyle = none
windowsstate = maximized
Is there anyone can help me (to translate this function in VB 2008)?
Thanks a lot,
Filippo

something like this?
PictureBox1.Controls.Add(New Form2 With {.TopLevel = False, .Visible = True, .Dock = DockStyle.Fill})
'Never argue with an idiot; they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.' ~ anonymous
'Life's real failure is when you do not realize how close you were to success when you gave up.' ~ anonymous

Does the exception tell which line of code exactly is throwing the error?
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

|

No...Actually the first table "ACN_CHARX" is created successfully... when it crosses the line "ADOXtable.Name = "ACN_CHARX_INSTANCE" ", the first created table name is automatically renamed.. ie)from "ACN_CHARX" into "ACN_CHARX_INSTANCE". Then the control tried to create the first column of the second table "Logical_db_name"...Then it shows this error....

I expect you need to add
ADOXtable = New ADOX.Table
between each table. Probably the same for the index.

Hi,
I am new in Dotnet. I read the excel upto used ranges and print the data to messagebox. But I got Each value one by one after click the ok button.
But i need display the total data at once.
My Code is:
dim exapp as excel.application
dim exwork as excel.workbook
dim exsheet as excel.worksheet
exapp = New Excel.ApplicationClass
exwork = exapp.Workbooks.Open(TextBox1.Text)
exsheet = exwork.Worksheets("sheet1")
range = exsheet.UsedRange
For rcount = 1 To range.Rows.Count
For ccount = 1 To range.Columns.Count
obj = CType(range.Cells(rcount, ccount), Excel.Range)
MsgBox(obj.value)
Next
Next
exwork.Close()
exapp.Quit()
MsgBox("complete")
TextBox1.Clear()
Example: (In Excel)
No Name Age
1 Gopi 26
2 raja 24
3 mani 29
Output:
No,Name,Age
1,Gopi,26
2,raja,24
3,mani,29
But I got Each value one by one. I need full ouput as once. Please help me.

Well, you put a messagebox inside of a loop inside of another loop.
In other words, you are looping through all the cells in the sheet, and showing a messagebox for the value of each cell.
Try to concatenate the values in the cells into a string (for example) somehow, and then (for testing purposes) place MsgBox(MyConcatenatedString) outside the outer loop.
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

For obvious reasons it is not possible to just retrieve passwords to anything, through .net, think about it.
So unless you are intending to build a spam bot, you will simply have to offer the user the possibility to enter email address and password somewhere, and build a secure storage for that password, so hackers won't be able to abuse your program to collect passwords.
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

Hello,
How can you change the size of the MDI container in a MDI parent form?
|
|
|
|
|
The control is MdiClient. You just need to enumerate the Controls collection of the form, looking for a control of Type MdiClient. Then you need to turn off the Dock proeprty and set the position and size properties to whatever you need.
|
|
|
|
|
Is this the way you mean,but it's not working.When maximize the parent form,the child form maximizes to the entire form.What is the problem?
For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf ctrl Is MdiClient Then
ctrl.Dock = DockStyle.None
ctrl.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(1, 107)
ctrl.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(769, 434)
End If
Next
|
|
|
|
|
That code works fine and as expected, though I'd probably add an Exit For before the End If.
If you're saying that the title bar for the child form takes up the entire width of the patent form, this is the expected behavior and you can't turn it off.
If you're saying that if you maximize the parent form and this causes the child form to maximize also, then something in your code is causing this. The code you posted will not do cause that problem to happen.

I am not at all sure that you can call into a managed .EXE from VB6.
However, if C-like exports between VB6 and VB.Net[^] is correct you can call into a managed .dll. If you are able to separate the parts of your application to be called into a dll and apply the principles from the article to it, that might be a resolution to your problem.
