Hi,
Does anyone know how to make a "CommonDialog", in particular the "SaveFileDialog" always be on top? Like setting the "TopMost" property of a form to true. I want the file dialog to appear on top of all running applications.
Best regards /Emily

Use the property .ShowDialog() this makes the dialog application modal and will always be on top of your app. But you could make it System modal and then it will be the top most cos the dialog will have to be closed before the system is aloud to be used once more.

Hi,
Thanks for your answear!
I already use the property .ShowDialog(). But I want the file dialog not only to be on top of my app, but also on top of all other app's like with the TopMost property. Is that "System modal"? How do I make it "System modal"?

Hey
i am not to sure how to make a form or dialog system modal but i did find this[^] article. Perhaps using the Win32 API?
Have you tried making a custom save dialog box using a new form and possibly set that forms property to top most. There are tutorials out there to make your own save dialog box.

Hi,
Thanks again.
I have not tried to make my own save dialog box, I migt have to do that if I do not find another solution.
By the way, I'm writing the application in VB.Net if that makes any difference.
Maybe I should look at the Win32 API but it would be nice to avoid using it from my .Net app.

I have two text fields:
StartTime = 20:00:00
and EndTime = 24:00:00
I am trying to check if the current time is between these two times.
I have tried:
if (StartTime.ToString() < CurrentTime) And
(CurrentTime < EndTIme.ToString()) then
'Do Something
end if
But when i go to the immediate window:
?StartTime.ToString()
returns
"System.Windows.Forms.TextBox, Text: 20:00:00"
How do I simply compare StartTime and CurrentTime?
Thanks for your help...

You answered this yourself:

If you want the text in the text field read the Text property:
string startTime = StartTime.Text;

First, ensure that your listbox's SelectionMode property is set to MultiSimple or MultiExtended.
Next, ListBox has a method named SetSelected which is called with 2 arguments (index and boolean "Selected")
So to select all items you could use this code:
<br />
for(int i=0;i<ListBox1.Items.Count;i++)<br />
{<br />
ListBox1.SetSelected(i,true);<br />
}<br />

thanks alot!
is there a way to do this with a for..each loop? using the collection of items in the listbox?
thanks again

I am trying to use the generated update statements with the OleDbDataAdapter. The adapter.update works fine if the fields are maped to a datagrid. When the fields are maped to text boxes nothing is updated. Any Ideas?
|
|
|
|

I created an address book that uses textbox to enter information. I used the OledbAdapter because it retrieves data through MS Access. This is the way I used this creation, by using a DataForm wizard, and the MS Jet as my connection. The wizard generates the entire form and buttons that will add, delete, update, and cancel. I believe this will work in your application.
Just create MS Access blank table with all the headings that you will need to your application. Then start you vs.net and create a new instance of the form. Right click the program in the solution explorer, and click on Add New Item, then click on the DataForm and open. You will see the Wizard and just follow the instructions. Remember, the connection window will open and you will need to make a new connection by using the MS Jet, then test your connection, and you will be on your way. Hope this helps to get your application running and get updates towards your text boxes.

The problem I'm having is that the update made to the Data Set is not seen by the Adapter as a modified version. I can move back and forth through the records and the changes are present in the dataset, but when I try to update the datasource nothing happens. I have tried "ending edist" but it still dosn't see the dataset as having been changed. I'm getting the same result using the OLeDB and SQl adapters.

This is what I currently have in my program on the update button:
It's only an example of the Contacts program.
Try
Me.BindingContext(dsContact, _
"tblContacts").EndCurrentEdit()
odaContacts.Update(dsContacts, _
"tblContacts")
Catch eSave As System.Exception
MessageBox.Show(eSave.Message)
End Try
Me.dsContacts_PositionChanged()
ReadOnlyOn()
End Sub
Now when using the DataForm wizard it will generate the entire form and coding where you don't have to do any coding, and update button clearly
updates the records perfectly. But the coding is different. So if you try
it manually with that same code it will not work unless you follow the
specified instructions of the wizard in order to get the program working.
This is what the wizard generate on the update button_Click event:
Try
'Attempt to update the datasource.
Me.UpdateDataSet()
Catch eUpdate As System.Exception
'Add your error handling code here.
'Display error message, if any.
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(eUpdate.Message)
End Try
Me.objMyAddresses_PositionChanged()
And this address book program works like a charm, it adds records, deletes, updates, navigate back and forward to the first and last.
This is another program using the update button:
OledbDataAdapter1.Update(DataSet11.students)
DataSet11.Clear()
OledbDataAdapter1.Fill(DataSet11)
End Sub
Let me know if it works on the update button.
Remember that you must use the same context when you create the generate dataset.

I am trying to create a small program that will access a Microsoft Access Database. The program will allow it to modify the fields and add/delete records as they choose. I am creating a Visual Basic Windows Application and am setting up the OleDbDataAdapter, the OleDbDataConnection, and the DataSet. I am also setting up a Data Grid on the form to view the records. It shows everything is in tact prior to the execution and then I get the following error:
Unhandled Exception: System.Security.SecurityException: Request failed.
at connection.Form1.InitializeComponent()
I am using Microsoft Visual Studios .NET 2003
Any help would be greatfully appreciated.

Did you first create the MS Access database?
If you did then you can go with the OledbDataAdapter and OledbConnection.
Did you use the Microsoft Jet 4.0 for the connection? You must use the MS Jet 4.0 and test the connection in order for it to work. If not you will get the unhandled exception. When you code the program use the Try...Catch error handler to ensure that the program will not have errors.

Is it possible to mask a column in a datagrid using VB.Net? I am getting either a 0 or a ten digit number. I would like to display the ten digit number as a phone number in the datagrid (ex:123-456-7899). Is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
Beginner in VB.Net

what do you mean by mask a column in database?
As far that I know you create your own MS Access database before you use the VB.Net to generate a dataset. I believe that you can mask any column, if not all in the MS Access. I not sure what you really mean. Could you elaborate more about masking.
bravo659

Well my MS Access database has one column that is NUMERIC and can only contain NUMERIC figures. For example, 5623659899 can't be 562-365-9899. There for I don't know how to take the 10 digit number and display it in a datagrid using the "-" to make it look like a telephone number. I'm not sure how to do this myself. If you want too, I can send you the project for you to look at. Just let me know.
DataGrid1 should produce
Last Phone
Red 123-456-7895 instead of --->1234567895
Blue 456-895-5698 --->4568955698
Yellow 458-652-1452 --->4586521452
Green 562-123-0258 --->5621230258
Please let me know if you want me to send you the project or if you are still unclear as to what I am trying to do.
Thanks,
Beginner in VB.Net

Yeah send me the application that you created and let me evaluate what you have done and I will tell you the next step to take to get the phone numbers with its format.

Wondering if you already received my email with explanation in how to mask your application?
bravo659
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I did. I was able to use the imput mask in the access database and it worked when you opened access. When I pulled that column into a datagrid it didn't bring the mask with it. So it still displayed 1234567895 instead of 123-456-7895? Is there something special that I have to do in .Net to display the input mask as well?
Thanks

We are using async socket for our client application to connect and send/receive data from the server. It works fine for most of the time but some times we get a socket exception "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host". It happens when we try to senddata to the host after connecting with host.
1. BeginConnect(remoteEP, AddressOf CallSocConnect, Me)
2. BeginSend(Data, 0, Data.Length, 0, AddressOf CallSocSend, Me)
What are the common reasons for this exception?
Is it possible that we didn't even connect with the host but we tried to send data?
Thanks for any inputs..
