In most cases, you can't do that. You'll have to load the login page, find (NOT EASY!), then fill in the fields with the data, then submit the login page back to the server. You can't just send a username and password to the web server and expect it to work. It just doesn't work that way.

On top of that, this is already built into Internet Explorer...

uiRich Text Box - Hell

EvolutionSoftware6-Mar-06 5:11

Okay I realize this is probably quite an easy questions however it has me stumped right now. I am trying to use a rich text box to display output data in three columns. The columns are lined up using tabs and everything looks great on the screen. The problem is when I go to print the data all of my tabs are lost! I have used vbtab and chr(9) coding. I don't want to hard code spaces since that way is very unpredicable and can cause problems if the font every gets changed.

Can someone please explain what the hell I am doing wrong?

Thanks

That depends on how you're printing the contents of the box... An explaination of how you're doing this might help.

I am using the PrintDialog tool right out of the box from Visual Studio same as I am doing for OpenDialog, PrintPreviewDialog, etc.

Maybe a better explanation is that I am using a for next loop to write two arrays of data to the rich text box. After each element I insert a number of tabs so that I end up with columns of data (there are three columns in total). Like I said in my original message the form looks fine when it is run. When I go to print or use print preview all of the data is squished together. For some unknown reason (at least to me) my tabs have been removed.

Your tabs are getting reduced down to the size of a single space character, since in GDI+, they don't have a width, and there is no such thing as a tab stop. Printing with the PrintDialog, and the other objects you're using, isn't WYSIWYG. If you really need to do this in a RichTextBox, you'll have to modify the RTB by creating your own, supplying all the formatting and printing code.

Fortunately for you, someone ahs already done this, here[^]. I hope it works for you.

You would have a click event handler for the button, and that code would create an instance of the second form and call ShowModal on it.

how do i get the event handler

Well, I would respond with a bit of general advice. More so than ever, there are people downloading VB Express, looking at the IDE and deciding they can write a windows program. Most of these people will fail. If you want to learn to code, you need to learn the language before you play with it's frameworks, write console apps before windows apps. It seems to me that it's likely you're at this level, and should take a step back.

The easiest way to create an event handler for a button is to double click on it in the design view.

What Framework restriction???

Also, your question would be better handled in the Mobile Development[^] forum.

Hi all

In my app i am creating a thread and cheking the status.
When i tried to check the status of the thread after the execution of the method that it is reffering, It is giving that thread state is Stopped.

what doest it mean.

Is that the thread object is still alive.

1) If so how to destroy the thread object once its state is "Stopped".
2) The other issue is how to restart a thread which is in stopped state.
