I notice that some .net programs do this -- allowing tab pages to float and dock in other places. Is this done with a 3rd party application, or can I do it through normal .net code? Perhaps this will be a new feature in 2008?
Thanks

I have been using a FOR loop to loop through the column indexes in an MS Access table and create a textbox and corresponding label on a form for each column. I am incrementing an index to step through all the columns in the Columns collection for the table. I had expected that looping through the columns this way would loop through the columns from left to right in the table (or possibly loop through in the order that the columns were created.) Unfortunately it seems that the index order is more random than that.
My question is: How can I change the column indexes to my liking OR loop through the columns from left to right using VB.Net? My original code is posted below.
Thanks, friends.

Hi…
I am not sure how much will this help you, but I think there is an easier way then to change the index without going into VB.net codes…
Just change the order of fields to the way you want in the database query
Like…
Select a, b, c from tab1
To
Select c, b, a from tab1
Good luck

Thank you, Nishkarsh. You are absolutely right. Once I changed the SQL query it all fell into place.

I have written a small Windows service that consists of a Windows.Forms.Timer control.
I have set the Interval property to 30000 and also tried 100. The Tick event of the timer never seems to fire.
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)<br />
backupTimer.Interval = 30000<br />
backupTimer.Start()<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Protected Overrides Sub OnStop()<br />
backupTimer.Stop()<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Sub backupTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles backupTimer.Tick<br />
backupTimer.Stop()<br />
'Other code here<br />
backupTimer.Start()<br />
End Sub
Any help appreciated

Hi
You should use System.Timers.Timer or System.Threading.Timer instead of the System.Windows.Forms.Timer.
The System.Windows.Forms.Timer requires a MessageLoop in order to work. and the others will work without a MessageLoop

Here is basically the only way I have been able to get the timer to fire correctly in Windows Service:
Class level variable:
Private coTimer As New System.Timers.Timer(10000)
Add a handler in "OnStart" event to the timer's elapsed event and enable it:
<br />
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)<br />
AddHandler coTimer.Elapsed, AddressOf coTimer_Elapsed<br />
coTimer.Enabled = True<br />
EventLog.WriteEntry("MyService Started")<br />
End Sub
Subroutine to take advantage of the timer:
<br />
Private Sub coTimer_Elapsed(ByVal pSender As Object, ByVal pArgs As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs)<br />
EventLog.WriteEntry("Timer Fired!")<br />
End Sub
That should do the job for you.

Hi Poonam,
I tried to reproduce the said behavior at my end. Unfortunately, I was not able to do so. I would suggest you to please try repairing the Visual Studio, it might be possible that IDE has been corrupted.
I hope this helps.

hi Poonam,
Please check you are not debugging the application in Realease mode. If you want to debug an application it must be running in debug mode and not in Release mode.

Hii,
Presently , i am using a property in propertygrid of type Image class to add an image to picturebox at runtime .It is showing the image . No
Problem .
Now , i am not able to get the selected image path as string . I have to save the image path, but it is returning
If Not CType(ctr, PictureBox).Image Is Nothing Then<br />
Dim filePath As String = CType(ctr, PictureBox).Image.ToString()<br />
as "System.Drawing.Bitmap"
if i use imagelocation it is returning as null exception. ' i dont want to use this one
Here, i want to get like this "C:\Documents and Settings\sriram\My Documents\My Pictures\cp.Jpg"
Thanks ,
DVS

Hello,
You can use the ImageLocation property to retrieve the image path. However, you will have to
use the load() method of the Picture box to get the image in the box.
Lets say you have one picture box and two buttons. First button is used to browse for images and
second button is used to retrieve the image path. In this case, you can try the following code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click<br />
<br />
Dim ofd As New OpenFileDialog<br />
ofd.Filter = "JPG|*.jpg|BMP|*.BMP|All Files|*.*"<br />
<br />
Dim result As DialogResult<br />
result = ofd.ShowDialog<br />
<br />
If result = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then<br />
<br />
Me.PictureBox1.Load(ofd.FileName)<br />
<br />
End If<br />
<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click<br />
<br />
MsgBox(Me.PictureBox1.ImageLocation)<br />
<br />
<br />
End Sub
I hope this will help. If you have any doubts, please reply to this thread.

Well Thanks For the reply ,
I dont want in this way . I want in a way like if we select an image property of image type in propertygrid ,then we can select an image at any location and if we click button ok , the image wil be loaded in to the picturebox .In propertygrid it is showing as "System.drawimg.bitmap" without showing the image path .
Or in any way i want the file path . Actually i didnt find any method to get the selected image path in VS2005 or 2003 .Like the one in File Dialog ("FileName")
I want here the file path .
I Really needed it

No, there is no Label.PerformRead(). 
|
|

Although your question does invite ridicule, there is a way to do what you want.
1. Put the code that you want to run when you click the label in a separate sub.
2. call that sub in the click event of your label.
3. also call that sub in the VisibleChanged event of your label:
<br />
Private Sub Label1_VisibleChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.VisibleChanged<br />
If Label1.Visible = True Then YourSub()<br />
End Sub
4. where you would have called label1.performclick (if it existed, which it doesn't), instead use:
<br />
Label1.Visible = false<br />
Label1.Visible = True<br />
A complete example:
<br />
Private Sub Label1_textChange()<br />
Label1.Text += "bla"<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click<br />
Label1.Visible = False<br />
Label1.Visible = True<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Sub Label1_VisibleChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.VisibleChanged<br />
If Label1.Visible = True Then Label1_textChange()<br />
End Sub<br />
P.S. the VisibleChanged event will also fire when your form loads, so you may want to clear it in the Form's Load event:
<br />
Private Sub YourForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load<br />
Label1.Text = ""<br />
End Sub<br />
Good luck,
Johan
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

This is a waste of time, txtusername.text.trim is already a string
Vuyiswa wrote: Dim frmmain As New frmmain
This is your new 'main' form
Vuyiswa wrote: Dim frmlogin As New frmLogin
and this is a new 'login' form
Vuyiswa wrote: frmlogin.Close() frmmain.Show()
I'm not sure why showing a main form modelessly, which then immediately goes out of scope, works. But, creating a new login form and then closing it, will do nothing for the other login instance that is already visible elsewhere.
The use of CStr makes me think you've used VB6. You should avoid VB6 constructs, they are nasty, and you should buy a book on OO to help you learn your way past these sort of issues.

Hi all,
I would like to enquire you guys about back and forward buttons (history) like what we have in internet explorers. You could never predict where the user's went previously, etc.. Does anyone know how to go about doing that (code-wise) or have any resource on the net that would be useful(I tried searching - they are all on previous entries instead of previous page)?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

you want back and forward buttons in your windows app, but you think you can't know where the user was before ? Perhaps you need to explain better ?
