I'm assuming the document will be printed on the web browser side, so no, there isn't any way for your server-side code to know how many pages the client will use to print.

That sucks.....
Thanks for your reply though
|

How is the server going to know which printers are installed?? What paper size is selected?? What the margins are?? Any other Page Setup settings??
It can't! ASP.NET is a server-side only technology that (greatly simplified!) generates HTML/Javascript for client-side use and rendering only. The server code does not, nor should it ever, care about what the client is doing with, or how the client is rendering, the data sent down the pipe.

I am new to this but, I was thinking there would be a way in the VB code to find out.

Then I'd recommend studying how an HTTP server works. The server cannot initiate a connection to, nor can it interrogate, the client-side browser. Doing so would open up a huge range of security issues.
HTTP is simple. The client connects to the web server, makes a request for a page, the web server generates and returns that page, connection closed. Rinse and Repeat... There is no room in there for the client to tell the server anything the server wants to know about the client.
All that VB.NET code executes on the web server only. None of it executes on the browser side. Unless, of course, you start getting into SilverLight[^]. Even then, the code cannot find out anything about the machine the browser is running on...

Ok that makes sense,

Hi Guys,
I have a combobox on a form. As soon as I click on the combobox I am unable to get out of it. The combobox shows me all the data it should, but I am unable to exit the control once selected. I can select any value, and do it any number of times however any attempt to close the form, click on another control in the form, etc fails. The only way out is to stop the debugger. No errors are issued.
I've spent an entire day tryin to find the problem and can't. I'd appreciate any ideas please.
The datasource is a very simple dataset (dsCorrespondenceMethods) containing a single table (CorrespondenceMethods). This table contains only 2 columns - an ID column and a description column. The table just contains a list of methods of corresponding such as "Email", "Fax", "Post", etc. I've put it into a table just to make any future changes simple and not require recoding of the app.
Thanks in advance
Mark

Are you doing any validation anywhere on the form??
I can't replicate the problem, nor can I find any occurances of it.
|

Thanks for responding Dave.
No validation yet. I've put together this form and not being experienced it has taken me days so I'm trying not to start again.
The source is a simple DS/table. It saves back to another DS for the client.
IF I remove the "Selected Value" from the combobox (so it has nowhere to save back to) the problem still occurs. This means the only thing on the combo box is the bound items to display the list.
In an attempt to replicate the behaviour and see if it was the dataset, I created a new form and put a combobox and a textbox onto the form. All worked nicely......so I am still lost...

Since you've been tinkering with this for so long, it sounds like there might be a screw up in the designer generated code. I'd recommend removing that ComboBox and re-adding a new one, setting it's properties to what you need, and see what happens.
|
|
|
|
|
Good to see we are thinking on the same lines. I already tried it after I responded last, and it resolved the problem with one of the combo boxes but not the second one I am having problems with....but at least it is a start.
Many thanks for your help.

Good Morning everybody, I am awfully new to posting on the code project website, so please go gently with me.
I am trying to figure out how to add sub sub menues to a menu programatically. I have the menu set up as follows
File.......Options......Play
=================================
Open.......Prefs.......Play DVD
Exit
Now after the program runs, I wish to add a Sub Menu to PLAY DVD, how could i accomplish this?
hope everyone reading this understands what i am trying to accheive
|

you can give a name to the toolstripmenuitem (play dvd) (for further reference I'll name it DVD;P)
then you can simply add one like this
Dim mnuunderdvd As New ToolStripMenuItem("underDVD")
AddHandler mnuunderdvd.Click, AddressOf mnuunderdvd_Click
DVD.DropDownItems.add(mnuunderdvd)
in mnuunderdvd_click you put the code that needs to run when the user clicks it
hope this helps
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.

Thank you that's great, how do i implement the Handler to handle the click event of the newley created item.
Sorry for such ignorance, but I am quite nwe to VB.Net
|
|
|
|
|
the handler is a normal methode wich would look like this:
Private Sub mnuunderdvd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.

Thank you. Another query if I may.
I suppose there is no way around adding Handlers programatically as this is what i will be requiring.
My Form1.Load event call a sub routine as follows
Load_Menus()
then my sub routine is as follows
Public sub Load_Menus()<br />
<br />
For Each drive As DriveInfo In My.Computer.FileSystem.Drives<br />
<br />
If drive.DriveType = DriveType.CDRom Then<br />
<br />
Dim PlayDvd As New ToolStripMenuItem<br />
PlayDvd.Text = drive.Name<br />
Me.dvdMenuItem.DropDownItems.Add(PlayDvd)<br />
<br />
else<br />
End If<br />
<br />
next<br />
end sub
so i want to loop through all available CD-Drives on the system and if it finds one then add it to the menu under DVD.
But if it was to find several cd drives, how would i add a handler for each one found
|

|

just add the addhandler inside the for loop
and then in the mnuunderdvd_click methode you'll need to check wich one is clicked
the sender object contains the clicked toolstripitem so if you do
dim mnu as toolstripmenuitem = sender
you can compare the text property of mnu or if you can add something (like the drive path/letter) to the tag property of the toolstripitem inside you for loop (in the load) and then compare this tag or use this tag to access the drive inside the mnuunderdvd_click methode
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.

Could I get around this by putting this in a single handler for all
Dim Drive_To_Read_DVD_From as string = sender.tostring
'' result being for example drive_to_read_DVD_From equaling D:\
then take it form there
|
|
|
|
|
see earlier post but I would store the drive path/letter in the tag property that way you can just use that value without altering it
also you need to cast the sender to toolstripmenuitem before you can access its property's
sender.tostring will just get you the type and somemore
so:
dim mnu as toolstripmenuitem = sender
mnu.text = 'text from the toolstripmenuitem clicked
mnu.tag = ' the tag property from the toolstripmenuitem clicked
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.

Hello,
Although I am not very clear about the scenario, I would like to inform you that we may create new menu items as ToolStripMenuItem object, and this item can be added as a sub menu to any existing ToolStripMenuItem using following code –
Dim PlayDvd As New ToolStripMenuItem
PlayDvd.Text = "New File"
Me.OpenToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItems.Add(PlayDvd)
I hope this helps .
-Dave.
