I would think that you can not do this from an application.It seems to me that it would be too much of a security risk, but if you find out how let me know.

It is possible - but you have to PInvoke native functions in Windows to achieve it.

You'll have to pInvoke the ExitWindowsEx[^] function in the Win32 API.
Here in an example[^].

I'm creating a small room reservation program in which the user can reserve a room number for a certain amount of time on a certain date.
Let's say room 2 is reserved on 3-3-2006 between 7:00 and 11:00. How can I prevent users from placing a reservation with a starting time, or an ending time, between 7 and 11? They shouldn't be allowed to make a reservation from 8:00 till 9:00, neither should they from 10:00 till 12:00.
I've tried everything, but I have no clue. The only thing I have so far is code that checks whether an exact record exists. So if someone already reserved room 2 on 3-3-2006 at 7:00 till 11:00, an error will show.
I've tried something like this:
SELECT StartTime, EndTime, Date, Comment, Room, PersonID, ID<br />
FROM tblReserveringen<br />
WHERE (StartTime BETWEEN '13:00' AND '14:00') AND (Room= ?) AND (Date= ?)<br />
OR (EndTime BETWEEN '13:00' AND '14:00') AND (Room= ?) AND (Date= ?)<br />
As you can see, I tried to work with parameters. When a record matching the conditions is found, the submission is cancelled. Now if only I could make those time cells variable with parameters, like the rest of -em! Something like:
SELECT StartTime, EndTime, Date, Comment, Room, PersonID, ID<br />
FROM tblReserveringen<br />
WHERE (StartTime BETWEEN (StartTime= ?) AND (EndTime= ?)) AND (Room= ?) AND (Date= ?)<br />
OR (EndTime BETWEEN (StartTime= ?) AND (EndTime= ?)) AND (Room= ?) AND (Date= ?)<br />
Unfortuately, above code does not work (the first example does). Is it even possible what I want?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi!
Can you loop enum elements?
Ex:
<br />
public enum eSize<br />
Small<br />
Medium<br />
Large<br />
end enum<br />
<br />
For each vSize as eSize in eSize.Elements<br />
DoStuff(vSize)<br />
next<br />
<br />

You could use the Enum class' .GetValues shared function..
<br />
For each vSize as eSize in Enum.GetValues(GetType(eSize))<br />
DoStuff(vSize)<br />
Next<br />

Thanks!
Had to put the brackets in there but now it works like a charm!
<br />
For each vSize as eSize in [Enum].GetValues(GetType(eSize))<br />
DoStuff(vSize)<br />
Next<br />

Yes, you use the static methods defined in the <code>Enum</code> class
Heres some test code for you. The button on my test for was button3
enum MyEnum
{
Foo,
Bar,
Laa,
Noe
}
private void button3_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string [] names = Enum.GetNames(typeof(MyEnum));
MyEnum[] enums = (MyEnum[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnum));
for(int i=0;i<names.Length;i++)
{
MessageBox.Show( String.Format("DoSomething({0})",names[i]));
DoSomething(enums[i]);
}
}
private void DoSomething(MyEnum e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.ToString());
}

Hello
I want to set the width of each columns in datagrid separately but not able to do that. I am using datagrid and datatable in my project the codes are as follows.
Dim Mytable as new datatable
Mytable.columns.add(“srno”, gettype, string))
Mytable.columns.add(“name”, gettype,( string))
Mytable.columns.add(“designation”, gettype,( string))
Mytable.columns.add(“remarks”, gettype,( string))
Datagrid1.datasourse = mytable
datagrid1.preferredcoloumswidth = 74
Now my problem is all the coloumns are OF the same width, as I wanted different width of different column. As of now all the columns have the same width whereas I don’t need so much width for the SRNO and need more wider colums in REMARKS. Please suggest how can I solve this problem.
Thanks alot

You have to modify the DataGrids TableStyles collection to get at the column widths.
Dim ts As DataGridTableStyle = DataGrid1.TableStyles("columnName")
ts.Width = someValue

I tried the one you suggested
Dim ts as datagridtablestyle = datagrid1.tablestyles(“REMARKS”)
Ts.preferredcoloumns = 100
I HAD THIS ERRORS
“Object reference not set to an instance of an object”
Kindly check pls.
Thanks alot for your time.

Sorry, I had rectal-cranial inversion...
DataGrid1.DataSource = ds.Tables("MyTable")
Dim ts As New DataGridTableStyle
ts.MappingName = "MyTable"
DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(ts)
ts.GridColumnStyles(0).Width = 15

Sorry but it still has erros
I tried you codes but still I have one more error sending you my declarations

DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(ts)
Me.DataGrid1.DataSource = mytable

ERROS IS HERE (index is out of range: MUST BE NEGATIVE AND LESS THAN THE SIZE OF THE COLLECTIONS)
Thanks again for you help and you Suggestionss
Thanks again

It doesn't work because you reset the DataSource of the DataGrid, wiping out all the changes made to the TableStyles. Why are you adding all the Columns? You really don't need to unless your going to customize the look of them, which you're not doing in your code.
' I hope your DataSet actuall yhas a table in it called mytable.
' If not, this won't work. Change this to reflect the name of YOUR
' table in your DataSet.
DataGrid1.DataSource = ds.Tables("mytable")
Dim ts As New DataGridTableStyle
ts.MappingName = "mytable" ' Change this to match the name of the table in your DataSet
DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(ts)
ts.GridColumnStyles(0).Width = 100

Finally I was able to resize it, Thanks for your Help and Support
The codes are as Under for reference
Dim mytable As DataTable
mytable = New DataTable("MAIN")
mytable.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("ContactPerson",GetType(String)))
mytable.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("DESIGNATION",GetType(String)))
mytable.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("PHONENO",GetType(String)))
DataGrid1.DataSource = mytable
Dim TS As New DataGridTableStyle
TS.MappingName = "MAIN"
DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(TS)
TS.GridColumnStyles.Item(1).Width = 100
TS.GridColumnStyles.Item(0).Width = 100
Thanks Again for your time

When I add a new addin to microsoft excel, where does this store this information in the registry? for eg, i have an addin say MyAddin.xla and I add manually from excel. Then it gets displayed in list of macros, which I can then disable or enable as I want. Where is this information stored in the registry?
Thanks

XLAs get stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Options and Excel opens them, in order, first with the template pointed to by OPEN, then OPEN1, then OPEN2, and so on.

I am using "ctrl" as prefix for naming my windows controls instead of Hungarian Notation. e.g. ctrlName for Name textbox control. Is it better?
---------------------------------------
I have a Persistent Class e.g. Person.
Public Class Person
Dim _name as string
Dim _age as int
Public Property Name
...
End Property
Public Property Age
...
End Property
End Class
Now I want to use Person Class as parameter in a method. can I use the same name for Parameter as class name.
e.g.
Public Function GetPersonDetail(person as Person) as boolean
...
End Function
I use the same for defining variables within a class.
e.g.
Public Sub SetPersonDetail()
dim person as Person
msgbox (person.Name)
End Sub
if not can you suggest some.
Ganesh P. Thanks for your help in advance

Ummmm.... Using "ctrl" as prefix for naming my windows controls is Hungarian notation[^].

I use a combination of Hungarian and not.
Variables do not have any notation prefixes except for a leading m for module level variables of a class.
Controls I still prefix with a control prefx (cmd for Button, cmb for ComboBox, etc..) just to I can discern them from the regular vars in the code.
As a rule properties are the same name as the variable they offer access to:
Private mAge As Integer
Public Property Age() As Integer
. . .
End Property
