Sorry, but that will not work.
i do not have some error but the toolbar stays with the default icons.
i also tryed with embedded resources, normal resources and filenames. with ico-files and bmp files
Some peaple say replace the points with underscores. so also tryed that. still no luck.
All the help on the internet speaks about 2003 or 2005. remember that I use know 2008.
In 2003 i have succeded the icons but not always.
almost all examples are in C but I need VB
If someone have another idee. maybee with an example? That will help me.
Jan
to all who will or helped me thanks

Hello,
I am using vb.net 2005. I wam using Windings font in my program. I would like to copy and register the font in the clients computers while they run the setup deployment.
How can I add it to my setup project?
Thank you for help

I am not quite sure how to add them to the setup, but make sure you have the correct permissions/copyright to distribute the font in question.

Go to the File System Editor in your project.
Add a new Fonts Folder and place your font here.

I have been bashing my head against this wall for quite some time, there is a lack of information on the subject.
I am trying to draw a .png with it's alpha channel as a graphic on a form. The alpha channel works well when i draw on the existing form background but i want nothing BUT the image to be drawn. No background and any semi transparent pixels are to be drawn as is. (see through)
I have tried plenty of methods until i came across http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vb/xDock.aspx[^]
Now here is the question(s) i have:
* What steps do i need to take to override all painting functions of a form and only use GDI and GDI+ to draw Bitmaps.
* And what steps do i need to take to draw .png files with alpha transparency on that said form using GDI and GDI+
* I have the source code from the XDock example but there is very little explanation to how it works, i would love it if someone could explain HOW it does the job and how i can write my own version to understand it.
At this current time my source code is a cluster**** of different approaches, the current lines i am trying to get to work is:
Public Sub SetBitmap(ByVal bitmap As Bitmap, ByVal opacity As Byte)
If Not (bitmap.PixelFormat = PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb) Then
Throw New ApplicationException("The bitmap must be 32ppp with alpha-channel.")
End If
hBitmap = bitmap.GetHbitmap(Color.FromArgb(0))
oldBitmap = Win32.SelectObject(memDc, hBitmap)
Dim size As Win32.Size = New Win32.Size(bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height)
Dim pointSource As Win32.Point = New Win32.Point(0, 0)
Dim topPos As Win32.Point = New Win32.Point(Left, Top)
Dim blend As Win32.BLENDFUNCTION = New Win32.BLENDFUNCTION
blend.BlendOp = Win32.AC_SRC_OVER
blend.BlendFlags = 0
blend.SourceConstantAlpha = opacity
blend.AlphaFormat = Win32.AC_SRC_ALPHA
Win32.UpdateLayeredWindow(Handle, screenDc, topPos, size, memDc, pointSource, 0, blend, Win32.ULW_ALPHA)
End Sub
This is what should draw the form's graphic content, at the moment i get nothing drawn.
Here follows my bitmap graphics:
Dim SF As StringFormat = New StringFormat()
SF.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center
SF.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center
BB.DrawString("* EDIT MODE *" & vbCrLf & ActiveEditObj.Name & vbcrlf & Cursor.Position.ToString & vbcrlf & EditHasMouse0.ToString, HugeBFont, New SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(50 + (Flux * 100), 255, 0, 0)), me.ClientRectangle, SF)
Dim BitTest As Bitmap = New Bitmap(application.StartupPath & "\img\closebtn.png")
BB.DrawImageUnscaled(BitTest, 10, 10)
Where BB is a graphic object created from BBBitmap.
BBBitmap = New Bitmap(Me.ClientSize.Width, Me.ClientSize.Height)
BB = graphics.FromImage(BBBitmap)
I have a reoccurring event that calls:
SetBitmap(BBBitmap, 255)
And like i said above, NOTHING gets drawn. But if i place a button on the form it is drawn and flickers alot, so something is definitely working. But not as intended.
Thank you for any help!

split is the right word. The string class has a split method.

I would be saying first replace all characters different then 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz with "" EXCEPT spaces.
Then split on the on you space and voila !

I am presently using WM_COPYDATA and SendMessage to pass string data from a c++ app to my vb.net app.
Everything works but the response time gets sluggish in the c++ app waiting for vb.net app to process the message.
I would like to use PostMessage to speed up the string data transfer.
I read somewhere that I cannot use WM_COPYDATA with PostMessage.
How can I use PostMessage to do my data transfer?
I would like to see both the vb.net code for receiving data from PostMessage
and
the c++ code for sending data with PostMessage
Will the use of PostMessage really speed up the sending app?
Any suggestions , examples or links would be greatly appreciated

I have no clue what you are talking about with the PostMessage deal but my i suggest making a thread that handles the c++ to vb messaging like a background worker?
|
|
|
|

Be sure that the transfered data is in a valid data block ie global object.
And test it on the 'secure' Vista.

Thanks for your quick replies.
I am interested in knowing how to use PostMessage which is a Windows OS function similiar to SendMessage
Thanks

Can someone please take a look at this code:
I notice that the code is not sufficient to connect to an access database what is wrong with this code?
<Dim db as NEW ADO DB.Connection
Dim rs as NEW ADO DB.Record-set
DIM spath as String ' Path for the database
Dim SQLL as String ' Sql statement
sPath = app.path & "\DB\Name.mdb
>
What I want to do is to connect to an access database, I'd really appreciate some assistance.
Thank you!

I know that line of code provided by the link that you sent.
That only answered my question in an infinitestimate way.

What you have given me is the connection string. But I am also having problems with the declaration of the variables.
Do you know how to do that, if you do, I will really appreciate your assistance. I have made several attampts to do this but it seems I am stuck. All I need is to know how to declare the variables and how to connect - that's all!
Jesus Christ is Lord!

Sorry I have not used access for 10 years but your syntax seems to indicate you are using VB6, recordsets do not exist in .Net, if this is the case I can only offer you a paddle.

Hi,
I have one application in vb6.I want to convert it in vb.net.I have been trying alot to use recordset but giving error like arguments are of wrong type,are of out range or conflict with one another.What i do?
code:
If rs1.State = 1 Then rs1.Close()
rs1.Open("select * from UserTable where User_Id ='" & Trim(TextBox1.Text) & "' and User_Password='" & Trim(TextBox2.Text) & "'")
If rs1.EOF = True Then
MsgBox(" Password is not correct, check again .....?", vbCritical + vbOKOnly, "")
i = i + 1
If i = 3 Then
MsgBox("Sorry, you have lost your time.....", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation)
Application.Exit()
End If
Else
MDIParent1.Show()
Me.Hide()
End If

VB no longer has recordsets. You need to read up on ADO.NET to see what is currently available as there are many ways to get data to and from a database now to cater for different scenarios.
Also, the code you showed is susceptable to SQL Injection Attacks, you should read up on them also so you can protect your application. This article will show you what SQL Injection Attacks are and how to prevent them[^].

There are other ways to access data in .NET.
DataReaders, for example. Or you could use the Data Access Application Block (part of the Enterprise Library). Or you could use an ORM (Object Relational Mapping) tool such as XPO or NHibernate. Or... Or.... Or....
