Does any body have an idea how to add a Button to a TextBox after the application has started(at runtime adding of a button to the TextBox). I have tried with directly adding a button to TextBox, I am trying to Create a button inside a textbox which performs exact operations as a Button over a Form.
One of the option is drawing a painting of button and actually catching all the events happening in the region of the drawn painting. does any body have any better approach of doing the same

Should be interesting, I'll be astonished if you can achieve it. Also WHY add it to the textbox.
I can understand a user control that includes a textbox and a button but a button is to service a click event, you get the same event in the textbox, just change the appearance of the textbox. How do you expect the user to type into a button?

Thanks for replying...
I would answer for the why in your reply?
Just take an example the application I have developed have 10,000 TextBox I cannot replace all with the UserControl. So I am trying to change the TextBox.

You may call it an application, I'd call it an abomination, I don't care what you app is that many text boxes on a form or a series of forms indicates your design is seriously wrong.
I'd go back and redesign your entire solution.

I have a question:
Why is it so difficult to add a control to another control. If it is possible for Container Control to do this is should be possible for the Normal Control also. I am try to create a control in the direction but dont want to use Container Control strategy as far as possible.
Please suggest your opinion.

Think about what you are saying, a container control is DESIGNed to CONTAIN controls, a normal control has a different job. Next you will want a panel to manage text. Don't be an idiot, use the right tool for the job. You want to contain a control then use a bloody container control.
Or write your own control, oh right, you will need to start with a CONTAINER control. Rates as one of the stupidiest question I have seen.

I can understand that the question was stupid enough 
But what do you want to say about a combobox. I think microsoft has taken a single line textbox and provided a button like look and feel(or a drawing) since they were not able to add a control in the region or they dont want to do it.But still ComboBox is the most versatile tool used. No body takes a container control then add a button and then provides a docked drop down list.
What do you say about the TextBoxes used in the following:

I have queried on this issue since you looked interested.
Thanks for replying anyways.

Ok so it's morning now and I'm much less grumpy.
I imagine if you started from scratch, inherit control, and built up a contol you can acheive this, I imagine it is the way control builders do it. I am not and never will be a control builder so I use the tools already available to me in the framework. Your original post was about button and textbox, existing controls in the framework, from this I assumed you wanted to work within the framework.
I'm curious, what is your issue with container controls?

how to integrate an application to already developed application
i mean to say,if i thought of updating an extra module for an application developed by other person.
i just have database and setup file
how to Update
Plz help................
|
|
|
|
|
That would depend entirely on the other application, if it exposes any interfaces or services, what API's you would have to use, database concerns, ... EVERYTHING depends on the capabilities exposed by the other app. Without knowing anything about it, it's impossible for us to tell you anything useful.

Thank U Fly for ur reply s

Google 'vb resize image'[^].
Once you have opened the image you can resize it, then you can save it in the new position.

Uhh... That message is comming from Visual Studio! Your application is shutting down the system, causing Visual Studio to give you this prompt because it's being told to close!
You didn't really trry to run your app outside of the debugger yet, have you?? You won't get that message if you try it.

Go to where you saved your project, then go to bin\debug folder and launch your application as you would normally, this will work. Visual Studio shows you this message because you are "Debugging" at the time your program tries to shut down your computer. So, stop debugging for a sec, and check out the exe file that Visual Studio has created for you. It shoult be somehwere like: \....\Visual Studio\Projects\YOUR-PROJECTNAME\bin\debug\YOURPROJECT.exe
hope this helps

Store it in something like the app.config file?? Then you can modify it to what the user needs and load it when you need to using the Configuration and ConfigurationManager classes.

It's really just simple string manipulation. You have an options form in the setup where the user can enter the name of the server and instance and possibly the database name, then you use that information to build a new connection string, possibly test it, then save it to the app.config file using normal XML methods.

hello
i had developed windows application in vb.net and sqlserver.
used sqlserver provider
created an setup file
my doubt is,Is it compulsary to install sqlserver on the client machine to run the project and if yes how to get the database Name and sql server name
for connectionstring
Please Help me
|
|
|
|
|
No, you don't have to run SQL on the client machine, you can run it anywhere the client machine can get access to, like a centrally located SQL server for example.
But you developed an app that used SQL so you should be accounting for needing it when you deploy the application.
Your project should store the connection string in the apps xml config file so you can set it to what ever you want once the app is deployed, not hard coding the values in the app (sounds like what you did).
