I imagine you'd change the cursor using a new Cursor file.

Hello,
I am doing development for a windows mobile device using Visual Basic 2005.
The customer want to be able to download the data from the main database and be able to work off-line.
So I have decided that all the data that is download will be written to a xml file that can be read by a dataset. Also use the dataset to write changes.
When the user goes online the changes they have made to the off-line xml file will need to update the SQL database, I will use the getChanges of the dataset to sync with the central database (SQL Server 2005)
However, the user will be using a wireless and I will need a condition in my code that will detect if the wireless gets disconnected so that they can use the off-line data in the xml file that can be read in by the dataset.
I am not sure how I would detect the wireless being disconnected, as this will disconnect from the sql server database?
Any advice would be most helpfull,
Many thanks,
Steve

There's a property available that lists all available drives, find info here[^].
To change the details of how a folder is rendered, you create a config file that lives inside the folder. I'm not sure what is possible, I know you can set a bitmap for the folder.

Hi all,
I'd like to make a bluetooth manager application (VB2005) but I can't find documentation in the .NEt 2.0 framework about how to connect to bluetooth devices and what kind of information and operations can be retrieved and done. Do you know any article that talks about it?
Thanks in advance,
Marc Soleda

What type of report do you have in mind? Do you want to generate:
- Microsoft Access Report
- Crystal Report (.rpt)
- Generate Yourself and write it to print document
- Other type?

Hi all,
I've created a form which is in English, and would also like it to be displayed French and Spanish via a combobox?
I have created a combobox(cboLanguage) and added English, Franch & Spanish too it and added the following code:
Dim Language As String
Language = cboLanguage.Text
If Language = "French" Then
Me.lblTitle.Text = ("Titre")
Me.lblFirstName.Text = ("Prenom")
Me.lblLastName.Text = ("Dernier nom")
Else : Me.lblTitle.Text = ("Title")
Me.lblFirstName.Text = ("First Name")
Me.lblLastName.Text = ("Last Name")
End If
This all works Ok, but can be very time comsuming esp if your doing muliple Languages on many forms.
Can anyone tell me if there is a simlpe way for doing this???
Many Thanks

You factor out all of your display strings into a config file, and then create a different file for each language. Then, once your code selects what file to get it's values from, it's just going to work everywhere.

A different solution could be:
- Use the visual studio designer to localize the form (search for "localizing vb.net forms" on google)
- Then set the System.Thread.CurrentCulture to the value you want in the combobox selection changed event.
- On every control you could reapply the localized resources: (translated to vb.net, not compiled so it may contain some small errors)
<br />
Dim resources as System.ComponentModel.ComponentResourceManager = _<br />
new System.ComponentModel.ComponentResourceManager(GetType(YourForm))<br />
For Each c as Control in Me.Controls<br />
resources.ApplyResources(c, c.Name)<br />
Next <br />

I am doing a recent files menuitem. I am using a zero based array of 4 items, which i have displayed everytime you load the form. The problem i have now is, how do i limit the datafile to 4 entries? i can append the data file, but thats it. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Regards

Well, just count how many entries you have, and once you have four, you drop one from the bottom when you add one at the top.
How do you store them ?

 Hello,
I am new to visual basics and I am taking a class in it. I am trying to write a code for this and I am so confused on what to do. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.
Here is the question in my book:
Write a program that requests a complete phone number in a text box and then displays the area code in another text box when a button is pressed.
Thanks if you can help..

so... whrer you are stuck??

I am able to put the phone number in my text box, but when I push the button for it to extract only my area code it doesnt do anything. Here is my code:
Private Sub btnPush_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPush.Click
Dim txtPhone As Double
Dim xxx As Double
Dim xxxx As Double
Dim phone(11) As String
txtPhone = CDbl(xxx) & (xxx & xxxx)
phone(11) = CStr(xxx) & (xxx & xxxx)
phone(3) = CStr(xxx)
|
|
|
|
|
This is pretty strange code. How dod you expect it to extract anything ? It declares an double, does not assign a value, then does some things that will achieve nothing.
You need to use a regular expression, or the string methods that extract substrings.

Forgive me, but I know that otherwise I wouldnt be writting in to this forum. 
I changed it to this: this is better but it still is only giving me "xxx" instead of the input of the phone number:
Private Sub btnPush_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPush.Click
Dim txtPhone As String
Dim phone(11) As String
txtPhone = CStr("xxx - xxx - xxxx")
phone(11) = CStr("xxx - xxx - xxxx")
phone(3) = CStr("xxx")
btnPush.ToString.Substring(0, 3)
txtArea.Text = ("xxx")

This code is useless. Get rid of it. why do you need an array of strings ?
buzz5958 wrote: btnPush.ToString.Substring(0, 3)
This code gets a string from a button ( presumably 'Button' ) and returns a substring ( presumably 'But' ).
buzz5958 wrote: txtArea.Text = ("xxx")
The brackets in this code are superfluous, and this code sets the area code to be three x's.
It seems to me that you're wildly guessing, which is both not going to work, and not going to teach you anything if it manages to. You've got the substring method, so what do you want to get the substring of ? I assume you have a control which contains the phone number ( txtPhone is a good name for this control ). It has a Text property. This gives you the entered string. If you're allowed to assume a very specific input format, then the Substring method, on the text property of this control, will return the area code.
In future, I recommend you read through your textbooks and try to understand the process, instead of making wild guesses.

Yep. Why do arrays of strings?

Sounds like the OP is pretty new to this stuff and that would be too much for him.
