thank you very much
if you can't answear i will thank you because i will do the same if i see like this stupide question in a vb.net forum but i hope you understand

Try searching for these terms on Wikipedia[^] or on Google[^].
You'll get quicker and possibly more comprehensive answers there.

Back in the good ol' days (dark ages) when real programmers used punched cards, all printout was mono-spaced. We didn't use proportional fonts; we didn't even HAVE proportional fonts. It was easy to make a report mock-up, convert it to fixed positions on the page, and convert that to code (COBOL, Fortran, ASM, whatever).
Now, I'm trying to put together a report with vanilla VB.Net code, not Crystal Reports or anything like that. Now, everything is trial-and-error. I add a couple of items to the page, and run a test. Then I add a couple more and repeat the cycle. I'm thinking that there has to be an easier way. I've found lots of code that writes to the printer. But I've not found any references that explain how to shorten the trial-and-error cycle. I am using PrintPreview, so I'm not taking the time and trees to actually print the report. But the testing cycles are still too time-consuming.
When the boss brings you a sheet of paper with a report scribbled on it, how do you make a pretty report with a minimum of fuss.
Thanks for the help. This is definitely in the category of teaching an old dog a new trick.

Ensure that the ActiveX control is properly registered on your system.

It's used (in some cases) to specify to Windows what objects to use for UI style rendering. Typically when using a VB6 program on XP so that XP visual styles are applied.

 Sorry, we can't help without further info!
I assume this is essentially a schedule with each item having specific milestones/target dates?
Until you further explain what each of these mean and how they relate to each other we can't help.

You are not making any sense. Maybe it is the translation from Spanish to English that's the problem?
What you need to do is re-state what you are trying to achieve and only then we can help.

A basic question from a baby programmer here, I must have accidently clicked something, but I can no longer view properties windows on any of my VB.Net projects; ones I'm working on, ones that are complete and even try opening up new projects - can't open up properties windows - not from drop down menu, not from clicking on icons
|
|
|
|
|
You have tried clicking on the "Properties window" menu item in the "View" menu?

Hello,
I am having difficulties with display text coming up blank when running the complied code on Windows XP test workstation. I have an existing application is displaying blank when a user is prompt the message.
The same executable works just fine development computer.
Example...
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
MessageBox.Show("Hello World !")
'msgbox.Form1("This is a Test using ..." & ControlChars.NewLine _
'& "MsgBox")
End Sub
Thank you

I don't understand your question fully, but ... what message are you missing?

I just figured out the problem. The problem is with "Network Associates McShield" service. When I stop the service the Text is displayed properly from the MS VB.NET application. McAfee has a hot fix #9 to resolve this problem.
Thanks...

I´m trying to make an "administrative console style" application using
vb.net (an application with a visual layout as usual mmc console applications). I'm
using a main form with a SplitContainer. In the left SplitterPanel I have
a TreeView control, and my idea is to open "subforms" in the right side
SplitterPanel. This is easy to do with code like:
Dim frm As Form
frm = New subform
frm.TopLevel = False
Me.SplitterPanel1.Panel2.Controls.Add(frm)
frm.Show()
This works. The problem is when need to resize the main form. The
"subform" remains in the some original size. Can someone tell me how
to force the subform to resize ? Is there any better way to make
this "administrative console like" type of applications?
Thank you

You can play around with the form's Dock or Achor properties. Dock will 'stick' the form in Top/Bottom/Left/Right/Fill position in the panel. Achor let the panel resize the form according to which side you want to 'stick' it to.
Remember most if not all controls have these 2 properties too.

i have to send data packets (9 bytes each) to another terminal device. However due to the hardware design of the terminal device there has to be a pause of 26.3 milli secs between two data packets. in case the pause duration is not matched the device is unable to accept the data. please post a suitable code for delaying the com port output for this specified duration (26.3 m secs).

I don't know that you are going to achieve this with Windows and VB. The system timers exposed by the OS do not have the resolution you are looking for. In any case they are not guaranteed to pop exactly at the interval to which you have set them (very close yes - but not exact).
Is there any leeway in the packet timing to the terminal or is it a very old black box?
Seems to me that you may need a hardware interface between the computer and terminal to handle this problem.

hi steve thanx for replying. firstly answers to your querries - well the terminal device is a black box. the leeway that we can have in this pause if from 26.1 to 26.7 milli seconds.next i cannot go in for a hardware solution as the package i am making is a universal applicaion for some other blackboxes also which have different pauses between the data transmissions. i percieve three options, firstly i tried the "do while loop with a counter delay" that was working somwhere around this range but not exact 26.3,hence is not exactly suited. secondly, the inbuilt timer object is also not of much help as it is not accurate in this range. thirdly, i read about some kernel32 commands that may be used. can you just tell me if it can be of any use to me and how if yes? then can i embed some C++ counters or delays in vb. your help is greatly solicited also thanx anyway for replying the first time..

As stated in the article I quoted (my 2nd reply to your post) the Windows timers are not going to be as accurate as you need for this application.
No amount of application code in a high level language like VB, C, C++ etc... is going to do it for you. I think you'll need to create a device driver for your black box (essentially a new serial port driver) to handle the timing for you. This way the driver can operate at the kernel level and respond to interrupts rather than at the application level.

I found this article on The Code Project[^] which describes the Windows OS timing. Hope it helps.
