Hi everyone
Could anyone help me. I would like to restrict the users of my software from maximise the form. Is there any way of disabling the form maximise property?
The other thing is I would also like to detect when the user closes the form using the X in the right corner.I would like to ask the user if they want to save before closing down. What event is this and how is it called?
Thanks for reading this and I hope u will be able to help me.

hi twsted f8
to Remove the button to Maximise, Right Click on your Form and click on Properties, in your Properties Window, look for Window Style --> You will find the Option "ControlBox", set it to "False" and you Buttons will be gone.
but Now if you set the Controlbox to false then you will not see the (X) button to close your Form, you will just have to create your own button.
you can but the same code in the Following events
The Following code is in your Form closing event
<code>
Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
If MessageBox.Show("Do you want to Exit", "Question", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = DialogResult.Yes Then
Me.Dispose()
Else
'''Do nothing
End If
End Sub
</code>
Note that you can Create a button for your self and write the same code.
Hope this helps

Else<br />
'''Do nothing <br />
End If<br />
<br />
End Sub<br />
now in both cases the form will close
instead of '''do nothing there should be e.cancel = true

the user is still able to maximise his window by dubbleclicking the title bar
using the formborderstyle property might be a better way to accomplish what he wants
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.

look at the formborderstyle property there are several wich will do what you want all with different looks

events:
formclosing
formclosed
whith e.CloseReason=CloseReason.UserClosing you can distinguish between a user closing you'r form or another programme (or you'r own programme)
hope this helps

the best i found to let my form remain in maximized state is by overriding onSizeChanged method (or by handling sizechanged event) and writing following lines there
If Not DesignMode Then
If Not Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized Then
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
End If
End If
if user tries to change the size even by clicking on maximize button the form will restore back to previous stat. keep in mind initially you will have to set the windowstate of form to Maximized

true this will work nice if you want the form to be maximised but the OP asked to prevent maximising so I figured the form isn't maximised at all (also not at start).
you can still use you're code to accomplish this (just put the size back to original size) but the user will get the arrows for resising the window, will be able to click and drag, might even be able to resize the window for a split second. All of this will result in a very confused user and a flickering screen so...
but if you want the windowstate to be maximised at all times you'r code would work, although I think the window will flicker for a split second (not shure about this)
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.

Just an idea - why not allow the users to maximize the form and anchor objects on the form.
This will then rescale the form as the user resizes it.
I mention this just in case you have not yet figured out how to allow the form to rescale - and in case that is what you were trying to prevent.
Apologies if I am teaching my grandmother to suck eggs here...

You always pass failure on the way to success.

i think we have a property called Cancel in the event of form_close
so you have to do this to prevent closing window
e.cancel=true

It's rude to say this. It can't be that urgent, otherwise you would be paying someone for assistance.
Doesn't Access have a text file import facility?

you will have to parse the string for doing this 
you can create an access database with a table with your required schema
and then start reading file using streamreader line by line and split every line on separator and use the literals as values for your access datatable

without more detail this is all I can tell you:
you'll need a database with all translations
then you'r user types in a word (or sentence) and you look this word up in the database and display the corresponding translation
(for the sentence you can split it into words using the split methode)
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.

DataGridView Help... How to insert windows control inside the DataGridView row or cells as an input control?
for example: datepicker inside a Datagridview to input a valid date?
or neither maskbox inside a DataGridView cells or row??
I've seen it before in some application in the internet but i dont have an idea how to do that??
Is there anybody there have an idea or solutions??
Please...

It's not easy, since you have to pretty much make you're own DatGridViewColumn class.
I think you can find an example here[^] on MSDN.

Usually it goes the other way around.
Google for "pdf to html component" and you might come up with something.

I am working in vb.net and it is web application here I want to validate for uppercase or restrict to user to enter lower case in text box. how can I do this.
Ashish K. Vyas

|
|
You can use UCase()...
Eg
Dim stDest as string
stDest = UCase(text1.text)
this will convert content of text box to upper case
Good luck

You can either do it server-side by converting whatever they type in whatever case to the case you need AFTER the page is submitted, or you can write the JavaScript code into the page to handle it on the client-side.
And the is a question for the ASP.NET forum. It really has nothing to do with VB.NET at all.

Can any one please tel me that, can i use MsFlexGrid in VB 2005 express edition and distribute the application legally?
I do not have a VB6 license and Microsoft has stopped distributing any new license for Visual Studio 6
I also want to know the same for common controls and Maskedit boxes
 
|
|
|
|
|
Why you're using those very old controls is beyond me. Yes, you can still distribute an app with those controls. There are no licensing requirements.

You gave the DataAdapter the SQL SELECT to get the records, but you never gave it how to update the database with SQL UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE statements.
You can have these created automatically by using the OleDbCommandBuilder class.
Dim myDA As New OleDbDataAdpater(myCommand)
Dim cb As new OleDbCommandBuilder(myDA)
