Hi All,

I need help in VB Script.

I am trying to build a customized HTA application embedded with VBscript in it.

I need to find a value from the combo box list and perform another action based on the found value.

Any help is much appreciated.

How do I get a custom context menu to show up???

Okay, I just started back working on my web browser, and I want to have my custom context menu show up when the user clicks inside the browser..... This is what I have...

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim Browser As New WebBrowser
    TabControl1.TabPages.Add("New Tab")
    Browser.Name = "Web Browser"
    Browser.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
    TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Add(Browser)
    AddHandler Browser.ProgressChanged, AddressOf Loading
    AddHandler Browser.DocumentCompleted, AddressOf Done
    Int = Int + 1
    CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), WebBrowser).Navigate(UrlLocation.Text)
End Sub

That is where I suspect the bit of code will have to go... Since I'm using Tab Control instead of the WebBrowser...

Also, within the Context Menu, I am stuck on two parts...

Private Sub OpenLinkInNewWindowToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OpenLinkInNewWindowToolStripMenuItem.Click

End Sub

Private Sub OpenLinkInNewTabToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OpenLinkInNewTabToolStripMenuItem.Click

End Sub

What code would I add there to have it allow the user the option to open the Link in a new tab or a new window when they right-click over a link on the current webpage?

This is all I should need to complete my Web Browser for now.... Thanks.

How to check if tabpage control data loaded or not in vb.net 2005

Hi, dear all,

I have a form with a tabcontrol which has 7 tabpages, the data for the tabcontrol will be read from database.

When the form is loaded, I only want to fill in data for the default tabpage in tabcontrol, I don't want to fill in data for all tabpages by default until user first time select that tabpage, the logic is right?

I know I can create a flag for each of the tabpage, then when user first time select that tabpage (e.g., tabpage 3), I will check the flag if data is filled in or not, if not, fill in data, set flag to true. next time when user select this page again, don't need to fill in data because data is already there.

But is there professional way to check this?

Thanks a lot!

Sounds good to me - if you'd load everything on startup, the user would have to wait until all seven pages are finished loading their data. This way, you're shortening the load-time considerably.

Andraw Tang wrote:

Again, sounds good to me, since you'd only want to check whether it's loaded or not. The simplest approach is often the best.

As an alternative; I'm moving to a nullable DateTime, setting it to the DateTime of the last load-moment. A few triggers on the database that keep track of the DateTime of the last change, and it's possible to see if "something" might have changed in the database.

Eddy,

Thank you for your detailed explaination.

I agree with you, the simplest way is best, since there is no existing method in vb.net to check tabpage load, I'd better use flag to indicate it.

Grabbing file name and path info for a bootstrapper application

normschaef9-Aug-10 6:12

All:

I'd like to write a small boot program for my main app which needs a few file properties to load additional files.

What I'd like is for the boot program to get the same info as if you were to right-click on the file and select properties in Windows Explorer.
1) The filename in the properties textbox
2) The location (filepath)
3) File modified date

I can get the filepath from using the Environment.CurrentDirectory variables, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get the filename or date. Seems like it should be something simple.

What am I overlooking?

TIA for any help.
Norm

I believe what you are looking for can be found in fileInfo.

Dim fi As System.IO.FileInfo

fi = New System.IO.FileInfo("<put your executable path and file name here>")

fi.LastAccessTime

See if that work for you.

Are you running a MSI package of your application? Thats why it's showing c:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe

Re: return executable setup file path

ok. then what should i do??? that means when i use a msi package always it return c:\windows\system32...???

i also test this way:

In the CustomActionData property of the Custom Action, type:

/DIR="[TARGETDIR]\"

Then in Installer class, add this code:

Dim path As String = Context.Parameters("DIR")

but when run setup.exe file it return a null string...

There is no point your being sarcastic here.

It's ok that you knew about Google.
But did you do a search on it before posting this question here?

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

My latest tip/trick - Silverlight *.XCP files.

Visit the Hindi forum here.
