You might want to break that statement up and see if .FindControl("MYBUTTON") actually returned a CommandBarButton before you try and call .Execute() on it.

Hey,
I have a file path, and from this i want to select a printer on the client by using its name (PDF Printer) and choose to print the file. When the printer is passed a file to print it opens a 'Save File As' dialog box where you choose the save destination and file name of the PDF.
I need a way to specify the destination path and filename of the PDF to be saved and to be able to hide this 'Save File As' dialog box so the user never sees it.
I am using CutePDF Writer and there is a code sample to help here[^]
But i am unable to have any luck
Can anybody help with any hints or suggestions
Thanks you for your time
Chris

What do you mean by "not having any luck"? What's happening? What's not happening?
What does your code look like? Are you typing the Registry path names and values names EXACTLY as shown?
Normally, you would go to the products support site for assistance with the component. CodeProject deals with the languages themselves, not 3rd party components...

hey,
i was typing it as shown. i dont have much experience of registry values.
First of is all is it possible to make the 'save as' dialog not show and pass information and key presses to it?
Cheers
Chris

No, you can't prevent it from happening unless the driver exposes any interface to do so. It looks like the only interface supplied by the manufacter of the .PDF Printer Driver is the registry hack. If it doesn't work, then your best bet is to either contact the manufacturer for support on the component (and possibly an update) or find another component that has the (working) functionality you need.

System.Net
System.Net.Sockets
FTP is just a socket application using a pre-determined format of messages, usually on port 21.

There is also a namespace for FTP in the Visual Studio 2005

Hi,
Does anyone know how to make a "CommonDialog", in particular the "SaveFileDialog" always be on top? Like setting the "TopMost" property of a form to true. I want the file dialog to appear on top of all running applications.
Best regards /Emily

Use the property .ShowDialog() this makes the dialog application modal and will always be on top of your app. But you could make it System modal and then it will be the top most cos the dialog will have to be closed before the system is aloud to be used once more.

Hi,
Thanks for your answear!
I already use the property .ShowDialog(). But I want the file dialog not only to be on top of my app, but also on top of all other app's like with the TopMost property. Is that "System modal"? How do I make it "System modal"?

Hey
i am not to sure how to make a form or dialog system modal but i did find this[^] article. Perhaps using the Win32 API?
Have you tried making a custom save dialog box using a new form and possibly set that forms property to top most. There are tutorials out there to make your own save dialog box.

Hi,
Thanks again.
I have not tried to make my own save dialog box, I migt have to do that if I do not find another solution.
By the way, I'm writing the application in VB.Net if that makes any difference.
Maybe I should look at the Win32 API but it would be nice to avoid using it from my .Net app.

I have two text fields:
StartTime = 20:00:00
and EndTime = 24:00:00
I am trying to check if the current time is between these two times.
I have tried:
if (StartTime.ToString() < CurrentTime) And
(CurrentTime < EndTIme.ToString()) then
'Do Something
end if
But when i go to the immediate window:
?StartTime.ToString()
returns
"System.Windows.Forms.TextBox, Text: 20:00:00"
How do I simply compare StartTime and CurrentTime?
Thanks for your help...

You answered this yourself:

If you want the text in the text field read the Text property:
string startTime = StartTime.Text;

not sure how to, in code, set the selecteditems (or whatever the property is, not sure which one to use).
Dim item As String
For Each item In ListBox1.Items

First, ensure that your listbox's SelectionMode property is set to MultiSimple or MultiExtended.
Next, ListBox has a method named SetSelected which is called with 2 arguments (index and boolean "Selected")
So to select all items you could use this code:
<br />
for(int i=0;i<ListBox1.Items.Count;i++)<br />
{<br />
ListBox1.SetSelected(i,true);<br />
}<br />

thanks alot!
is there a way to do this with a for..each loop? using the collection of items in the listbox?
thanks again

I am trying to use the generated update statements with the OleDbDataAdapter. The adapter.update works fine if the fields are maped to a datagrid. When the fields are maped to text boxes nothing is updated. Any Ideas?
|
|
|
|

I created an address book that uses textbox to enter information. I used the OledbAdapter because it retrieves data through MS Access. This is the way I used this creation, by using a DataForm wizard, and the MS Jet as my connection. The wizard generates the entire form and buttons that will add, delete, update, and cancel. I believe this will work in your application.
Just create MS Access blank table with all the headings that you will need to your application. Then start you vs.net and create a new instance of the form. Right click the program in the solution explorer, and click on Add New Item, then click on the DataForm and open. You will see the Wizard and just follow the instructions. Remember, the connection window will open and you will need to make a new connection by using the MS Jet, then test your connection, and you will be on your way. Hope this helps to get your application running and get updates towards your text boxes.

The problem I'm having is that the update made to the Data Set is not seen by the Adapter as a modified version. I can move back and forth through the records and the changes are present in the dataset, but when I try to update the datasource nothing happens. I have tried "ending edist" but it still dosn't see the dataset as having been changed. I'm getting the same result using the OLeDB and SQl adapters.
|

This is what I currently have in my program on the update button:
It's only an example of the Contacts program.
Try
Me.BindingContext(dsContact, _
"tblContacts").EndCurrentEdit()
odaContacts.Update(dsContacts, _
"tblContacts")
Catch eSave As System.Exception
MessageBox.Show(eSave.Message)
End Try
Me.dsContacts_PositionChanged()
ReadOnlyOn()
End Sub
Now when using the DataForm wizard it will generate the entire form and coding where you don't have to do any coding, and update button clearly
updates the records perfectly. But the coding is different. So if you try
it manually with that same code it will not work unless you follow the
specified instructions of the wizard in order to get the program working.
This is what the wizard generate on the update button_Click event:
Try
'Attempt to update the datasource.
Me.UpdateDataSet()
Catch eUpdate As System.Exception
'Add your error handling code here.
'Display error message, if any.
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(eUpdate.Message)
End Try
Me.objMyAddresses_PositionChanged()
And this address book program works like a charm, it adds records, deletes, updates, navigate back and forward to the first and last.
This is another program using the update button:
OledbDataAdapter1.Update(DataSet11.students)
DataSet11.Clear()
OledbDataAdapter1.Fill(DataSet11)
End Sub
Let me know if it works on the update button.
Remember that you must use the same context when you create the generate dataset.
