If you are talking about passing values between windows, it is tricky. You will probably have to use hidden controls on your main page.

If you have your main window, lets call it window A, and you open window B with javascript, you can reference a window A control from window B by using javascript like this:

window.opener.document.form1.txtMyTextbox.value = 'value to set'

I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for, but I hope it helps.

How can I close a browser window, by using server side code. Is possible or not. If possible please give me the code snippet please.

Please stop posting with 'dear all' in the header. The header is for a succinct description of the nature of your question. It's meant to attract people who can answer it. Imagine if this forum listed posts that all said 'dear all', that would be kind of pointless, right ?

There is no way to run server code on the browser. Never, ever. In fact, your server code is not even running while the page is viewed. You can insert a button that calls window.close() in the page itself, javascript is the only thing that runs on the client.

And, as someone said, ask these questions in the ASP.NET forum.

Store it as a global value.Declare it in a module

In the solution explorer, right click on your project file. Select Add. Then select Module. Name the module and click the Add button. (I usually name my global module modGlobal). The new module will now appear in the solution explorer and you can add public variables, methods, and functions to it to use through out your PC Project. (You will still have to declare variables as Public in order to use them across forms.) The code will look something like this:

Module Module1
    'Public variables can be used by all forms
    Public strMyGlobalVariable As String = String.Empty

    'Private variables can only be used in this module
    Private strMyPrivateVariable As String = String.Empty

    Public Sub MyGlobalMethod()
        'Code for method
    End Sub

    Public Function MyGlobalFunction() As String
        'Code for function
        Return String.Empty
    End Function

End Module

You'll have to query each machine using WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation). The various classes will give you what you're looking for, like Win32_OperatingSystem[^] and Win32_LogicalDisk[^]. You'll find code samples on how to use WMI here[^].

I have set the Form property to target="_blank", which opens the form in new browser window when any button is clicked. But

now only for one button I want to change it(the target prpperty of form) to "_self". I want to keep the remaining same but

want to chage it only for this button. May be its possible by using "javascript".

I tried in the following ways, but of no use. I would be thank ful to all of you.

function openInNewWindow() {
// Change "_blank" to something like "newWindow" to load all links in the same new window
var newWindow = window.open(this.getAttribute('http://localhost/Sample1/AsposeEx3.aspx'), '_self');
newWindow.focus();
return false;
}

function f1()
{
window.Form1.target="_self";
}

function f2()
{
window.Form1.target="_self";
window.open("http://localhost/Sample1/AsposeEx3.aspx");
}

function f2()
{
window.Form1.target="_self";
window.location="http://localhost/Sample1/AsposeEx3.aspx"
}

Could someone point me in the right direction or even guide me through the creation of my own code snippet. I have this code that i want as a snippet:

Public Function IsAlphaBetical(TestString As String) As Boolean<br />
    <br />
    Dim sTemp As String<br />
    Dim iLen As Integer<br />
    Dim iCtr As Integer<br />
    Dim sChar As String<br />
     <br />
    sTemp = TestString<br />
    iLen = Len(sTemp)<br />
    If iLen > 0 Then<br />
        For iCtr = 1 To iLen<br />
            sChar = Mid(sTemp, iCtr, 1)<br />
            If Not sChar Like "[A-Za-z]" Then Exit Function<br />
        Next<br />
    <br />
    IsAlphaBetical = True<br />
    Else<br />
    IsAlphaBetical = False<br />
    End If<br />
    <br />
End Function

Create the XML doc for your code snippet and save it with the file extention of .snippet.

In Visual Studio 2005
Goto > Tools > Snippet Code Manager....
This will allow you to import your new snippet.

May take a few tries but once you figure out the simple tags, it cake after that.

selectChangedCommitted in combo box

22-Dec-06 19:11

if you're referring to the IsAlphabetical, it's an appropriation of some code i found. I adjusted it to patch a loop hole in the returned value. Be careful, i'm not sure how it deals with spaces, it also returns null text boxes with a false value.

Hello,

I want to detect when a user selects an item from a combo box, Normally I use the selectChangedCommitted event of the combo box. However, I am creating a PDA using WM 5.0, and that event is not available. They have only selectValueChanged and selectItemChanged.

However, I want the event to fire only when the user has selected from the combo box.

Is there a way to create an new event to do this, or is there another event I can use to do this.

Many thanks in advance,

Steve

21-Dec-06 15:32

I can't see why SelectedItemChanged would be inappropriate. It fires when the user selects a different item to the one already selected. This shoukd be right for when the user has selected an item from the list.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

I would really like it to fire after the change has been fully committed.

Is it possible to create your own events for these controls?

Thanks for any help,

Steve
