Can someone please help me with how I would code a simple chat program to run over a network.
I have designed the forms which have chat windows etc. but am lost on how to make it communicate from client to client.
I have looked at DDE in the help files but found it hard to understande. I am only new to visual basic. I am 16 years old and keen to get into program, this is my first program.
Is there anyone that can help to steer me in the right direction.
 Cheers John

First program?! You better start with something a little simpler. It would be wise to learn how Windows forms controls work before venturing off into networking...
Just my opinion...

Hi
I am creating a tree view control dynamically and all the nodes and child nodes of that tree view are being read from an xml file. Now I have two buttons "Move Up" and "Move Down". On click of these buttons I should be able to navigate through the nodes and child nodes. How can i set the focus to the previous node and next node?The Applicaton is a simple Windows based and I am using VB.Net.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello All;
I am trying to write a vb.net application to communicate with the usb port, a step before communication with usb modem.
I want to retrieve as well as send data to the modem.
If any body out there has a document on the subject or can lead me to a site that may help or at least tell me which namespace to use,I will much appreciate that.
Thank you.

THe modem should show up as a virtual COM port. You can talk to the modem using normal Serial comm.

I've noticed that 1st exceptions always take a while to be thrown to your program (at least with file ops anyway). Then any following exceptions are thrown immediately.
Does anyone know how to make 1st ones throw immediately?
Thanks - Gary.

You can't force it to throw "immediately". What kind of time are you talking about? What is your code doing? Are the file operations that your talking about on the local machine or remote, on a network share, or FTP, ...?

I have a listbox with a list of all 50 states. I want to know which state the preson has selected on in the listbox. It dosent matter if the program will instantly know and then act or if a button must be clicked adn the information is transfered into a string.
Help!

Listbox.SelectedItem.Text
|
|
|
|
|
Is this what you need?
Private Sub lstBox_Click()
str = lstBox.Text
End Sub
When listbox is selected, it will be handle by the Click event. To get the state selected use lstBox.Text.

This is what I think you are looking for.
Private Sub lstBox_Click()
str = lstBox.SelectedItem ' To get the currently select item in the Listbox
End Sub
|

|
|
Your looking for ListBox.SelectedItem

StateList is the ListBox with the states...
'Get the state selected in the StateList
Public Function GetSelectedState() As String
'Check if there's something selected
If StateList.SelectedIndex = -1 Then
'There's nothing selected
Return "No State Selected"
Else
'Return the selected state
Return StateList.SelectedItem.ToString
End If
End Function
and the SelectedIndex event is raised when the user selects a different state...
