Hello,
I need to launch a simple text editot like WordPad. Does anyone have such a royalty-license free application? Or at least know where I can aquire one. I'm just getting into VB but I need this for a curent project asap.
I hope this is the proper forum for this question.

Thank You

COuld try Textpad - excellent editor, and Shareware - will pop up with licence warnings every now and then, but otherwise exactly same as full version....
Just one question - why the FUNK do you want to use a text editor for VB????
Otherwise - if what you are asking is HOW to launch the editor, declare the ShellExecute function, and pass the filename in....(see MSDN or give me a shout if you want an example.

I have a datagrid on my form that is anchored to all sides but when I maximze the window only the datagrid anchors correctly but not the columns of data within it. Any idea where I am going wrong?

As far as I know there is no way to just set a property and anchor the columns to they resize auto like that.

ok , i didnt quite get what you write in the message.
to create a color from rgb:
Color c=Color.FromArgb(r,g,b);
to invert a color:
Color inv=Color.FromArgb(255-c.R,255-c.G,255-c.B);
(ps , that was c# code , but i just assumed your usinng vb.net?)

Right, I have a set of Data Access Layer classes that represent their respective SQL Server tables.
I have a set of forms where I use the .DataBinding() for each control to bind to properties in my Data Access Layer classes.
This was all working great, until I moved the forms into an external .DLL. Now when I call the forms .Show() from the external .DLL I get the message:
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll" - Additional information: Error creating window handle.
I've traced through the code, and the externals forms will fire up perfectly fine into my apps MDI form, as long as no calls to the data binding take place.
Is there any reason why Data Binding won't work across .DLLs????

........and the solution is.....................pass your controls around by reference and not by value....ta da!!

I used
ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Navigate("test.html")
ie.ExecWB(SHDocVw.OLECMDID.OLECMDID_PRINT, SHDocVw.OLECMDEXECOPT.OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER)
to print "text.html".
when the file has too many pages to print, it doesn't print all the pages..
suppose test.html has actual 20 pages to print but it only get 2 pages printed by using above code?
So I add
System.Thread.Sleep(5000) to give the time to printer to spool all and print all the pages..it helps.. but still only 5 pages printed and not all 20 pages..
how can i pause the program to wait printer to finish printing the document??
thanks

Well, basically I'm getting this error message when calling .Show() on a child form. Before anything is displayed, this exception is thrown.
Now it's in the slightly unusual situation, that the MDI window is in a VB.NET application, and all the child forms are supplied in a C# library. So I'm wondering if it's something to do with this??
Any suggestions, hints or tips?

Can someone tell me how to compare a header from a website with a string in VB.NET. The header is in Japanese font so is the string.Do, i need to download the file or can i compare the string with the header directly. Also, if i download the page as an html then the downloaded page does not match with what is seen. Is it because i dont have the fonts properly installed.
Any help will be appreciated

I see all sorts of controls out there to create PDF files. Are there any available that allow you to view PDF files from within a VB app? Also, is there one that will allow you to create thumbnails from the individual pages?
Thanks,
Jeff

Greetings, fellow Columbus developer...
Are you talking about VB or VB.NET? Either way, the easiest way I can think of to view a PDF file is using the Internet control, or just spawning Internet Explorer to view the PDF. As long as the client has the Acrobat Reader plug-in to IE installed, they can view the PDF.

Hi
i've made a connection object with ConnectionString that looks like: "Data Source= C:\...."
the problem is that when i an installation of that program it looks for the database file in the specific location that i wrote in the connection string.
how can i make the connection string so it'll turn to the database in the same directory where the app's EXE is located?

Hi,,
If you use VB6 use App.Path to get the EXE folder.

"DataSource=" & App.Path & "\FileName.mdb;......."<br />
