• Ljhopkins Should be a better way to handle multiple pages of graphics.

  Hi, I need to view and print multiple pages of graphics, and am stuck on the multiple part. Where am I at now. 1. Drawings are saved as .bmp files 2. Files are retrieved and added to a List(Of Bitmap) 3. Loop through list and add each image to a specific place on a form 4. After 6 drawings, add page headings 5. Show the form 6. Print the form to a pdf file I'm not real happy capturing the screen as a bitmap also, in order to print it, however it does work for page 1. I really have no idea of how to approach page 2 , get a clean graphics surface, add the next 6 bitmaps from the List, and repeat steps 5 and 6 as many times as necessary, although I can handle the logic of the selection and placement of the bitmaps, ...Show All

• anisk Print Coordinates Problem

  I am a VB.Net programmer and I have dealt with numerous errors and coding issues but this problem has got me officialy stumped! I am currently writing a program that involves some printing functions. As you know, the default margins for a 8.5 x 11 page is 100 pixels from the edge of the paper. When you click Print Preview the text looks exactly like it should but when you click Print the entire text is offset to the right by at least 50 pixels. Keep in mind that the print and print preview is generated by the same code. While writing this program, I encountered this problem in the early stages and offset the margins to the left by about 50 pixels. It made the print preview look ugly but the paper looked satisfactory. I am now having to fac ...Show All

• ShadowRayz Converting an Integer to String

  Im trying to convert some integers to a string (which works fine) For example My Funciton MKI is working ok as far as i can tell Dim v1 as String = MKI(116) V1 then equals "t I wish it to equal "t" Can anyone offer any suggestions please Kinda, a propietary date format to save a few bytes. You can use Chr() to go from a 16-bit integer to a string and Asc() to go back. However, the generated string would not be the same, it would just have one character in it. This is only a problem if you need to read data that the old program generated... Use Space(1) to avoid having to use SubString(). This code could fail when you least expect it.

• Scherild MDI Creation

  I know this should be a simple thing but I can't find information on it at all. I am creating a program that needs a dynamic MDI. The user will be able to begin at the main page(frmMain) and advance through 7-8 pages with the last updating a database. They can also scrap the project midway through and restart, or jump to the end and load a finished project from the database. I have tried to find examples on how to do this, but have had no luck. I also want to be able to advance through the forms using the menustrip and buttons on the form, but I beleive the code behind both will be similar. Can anyone point me to an example of this. ps. This is my first major attempt at a program outside of .php ...Show All

• JIM.H. Saving MS Word documents in a database

  I have an SQL Server database containing a table of MS Word documents. My application must allow the user to open these documents in MS Word, make changes, and save the modified document back to the database. My current approach is to retrieve the object from the database, save it to a file and then open it in Word. Once the user has finished making their changes I will then save the file back to the database. I have the basic mechanics working, but the user currently needs to manually initiate saving the file back to the database (by clicking a button). I would like to automate this process so that whenever the user changes the file (saves it in Word), it is automatically saved to the database. Any ideas on how to ...Show All

• Toni Greco R

  I'm sure this is possible to do. I am working with a UTF8 encoded file. When the file is opened in VB and loaded into a text box, the line breaks are converted to squares. Each line break is represented by two sqaures. I have been using code to replace bad chars, but the problem with it is that it replaces a single instance of the square with a LB. So I am getting too many LB's. How can I replace this with a single line break TIA So, then if you open the file in notepad, the characters exist also Thanks for the tip! I tried the following and the code itself works, but still produces the chars. Private Sub Button1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg ...Show All
