loadingbar FLASH in a winform stops run during binding - Visual Basic Discussion Boards

Hi all,

I've been getting a strange problem with anchoring on my forms. I have a form where I put on a tabControl. I set it's anchoring to Top, Bottom, Left, Right. I put a number of tabPages on to the control. On the first tab I put textBoxes and comboBoxes. I set all their widths to 655 and their anchoring to Top, Left, Right.
When I run the app, the form appears and all the textboxes and comboBoxes have truncated from the right, the left hand side is fine. When I go back to designer it's truncated as well. The more I run it the more truncated it gets.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Dave

I've seen some funky things happen when using the TabControl. That's why I try not to use it - ever.

But, when that problem occured in my project, I ended up killing off the controls that we're affected and recreating them. Things settled down after that. Try no to go back and touch the controls after that. Also, try locking the controls in place when there finally set. Right-click on any control and pick "Lock Controls".

Hello i have to put this 2 conditions:

Where (id = @id) and (iStatus = 0)

can someone plz tell me the corect code

Are you asking how to place parameters onto a stored proc call ? Are you asking how to call a stored proc altogether ? Are you asking how to write the proc ?

If you can word the question a bit better, I'd say that typing it into google will answer it, but if you don't know how to use google, by all means ask it more clearly here instead. Smile | :)

I am creating a somewhat complicated application. What I want is, I am using VB.net 2005 and I have a splash screen. I want after 10 seconds, the splash screen to close and the form MainScreen1 to load. How would you do that?

In the end we're all just the same

I hope you don't mean this is what makes your app complicated...

You can set a timer to close your splash screen. I'd have thought the built in splash screen component would offer this also.

This a full integrated VB.NET 2003 frameworm 1.1 winform (with swf DLLS, swf files, and db connection) sample of using SWF TITLEBAR and LOADING BAR.

IN THIS PAGE YUO'LL FIND THE COMPLETE VB.NET PROJECT
http://www.scacco-mattoband.com/dwn.html

Try and use it if you need

THERE IS ONLY A TROUBLE I'M NOT ABLE TO SOLVE:

If you try this sample you can see i made a select with FOR CICLE to make a longer data elaboration.
During the select subRoutine the titleBar stops run
and the loading bar becomes visible only after the binding of the datagrid.

I'd like to know how can i correctly thread this code:
the right thing is that SWFloadingbar become visible (and run!!!!!) before the star of select subRoutine() and the SWFtitlebar does not stop.

WHEN This truble will be solved i'd like put this sample in the article session

THIS IS THE CODE OF THE WINFORM

Whats the name of control in VB.net(2005) which appears in project properties the one which is like tab control but bit fancy can i add that in my project ... how & from where D'Oh! | :doh:

... thanks in advance

DJ

You mean the control in the IDE ? No, it's a custom control, you'd have to write one to behave that way.

Sure - lots of people sell custom libraries that emulate MS look and feel.

i Read about this listbar control in vb.net in this code project site which gives the look of outlook control i.e on left side of ide if u c the buttons with images on which u click & u get details like inbox outbox etc..

DJ

OK, I just googled. If you'd read the sites, they are either offering that control as a free download, or offering to sell it to you ( I guess the name has been used by a few different people ). Which is exactly what I said to start with.

check this link m sorry its not in this site

DJ

Looks like the first link I found with google. So, what are you waiting for ? Download the control, follow the article, and add it to your project.

Thank boss check this link a nice tab control

BYE take care

DJ

you will have to create a dll which can read your own type of file or a common data base sort of and store information about different servers and the connection paramaters
Belive me it works i have connected different types of forms through different databases with one common file as a connection manager.

You can even store information based on the user's accessibility and needs dynamically.

in my project i need to open a word doc which contain tabel and images in a rich text box control or in any other control

mail me at rajesh.batchu@cesltd.com

well - you can't. You can use Word as a control, but you can't open a doc on a PC that doesn't have Word installed.
