• Leonard Lee Windows form MonthCalendar control DayRender method...

  How can I programmically change the default behavior of the windows form MonthCalendar control The default control highlights the month's current date cell with the MenuTitle backcolor. This would be fine, except when you scroll to another month the same day of the month is highlighted. I'd like to see only the current day highlighted in the current month. I don't see a DayRender method, so I'm wondering if anyone has an example of how to add this feature in vb.net. I'm guessing that a custom control would be created inheriting the default properties and methods and adding a method to take care of setting the backcolor, but I'm not sure how to do it. I've played with adding simple custom controls from examples, but I don't know how ...Show All

• Prabagarane reading from an xls file (into VB) without using Excel

  Hi everyone, I've written a program in VB which accesses data from an xls file. Right now I open excel, and then hide it (so it is invisable to the user) to read the data from the file. Then I have a close button on my program which the user can click and as the program exits, it also closes excel. I have removed the "x" from the taskbar on my program, but I still run into problems if the user uses ctrl+alt+del. I am sure this is probably the worst way to read from this file, but it does get the job done... although very buggy and error prone. I was wondering if someone could inform me of a way to read in this data in a more efficient manner. Possibly even if the user doesn't have excel installed on their computer I am no ...Show All

• Scythen How to Make Form Transparent While Dragging / Out of Focus?

  I was wondering how to make my form turn transparent when I go to move it by dragging it, and then bring it back to opaque once I let go of it. Also, how could I make the form turn transparent while it is out of focus, and turn opaque when it regains focus A solution to either or both of the problems would be appreciated. Thank you. You can detect that the form is active/inactive with the Activate and Deactivate events. Detecting dragging is going to take more work. You'll need to implement the WndProc() method and detect a WM_MOVING message to see it starting to move and WM_EXITSIZEMOVE when it stops. Yell if you need code. Thanks for the help nobugz. Activate and deactivate worked. Also, ...Show All

• stuntpope IDE annoyances

  While i absolutely love the new visual studio, there are a couple of things that drive me nuts!!! when i right click on a symbol in code (such as a variable or procedure name), i can choose "Definition" and jump to that location. unfortunately, the "Last Position" menu item (that was available in VB6) was removed so now i cannot jump back to where i was previously. when i want to save my file with a different name, i would normally choose "File->SaveAs". this has now been changed to include the file name, which i find to be reallly annoying, especially since i will not be using the same name. opening visual studio is really quick, but closing visual studio takes forever. opening the design (GUI) view takes forever. switch ...Show All

• Mr. Scott X DES File encryption problem

  Hello everyone. I'm working on a project that performs file encryption. With DES and 3DES. However I've been having a problem encrypting compressed files. The code that I used was a snippet that I found in the MSDN, this code seems to work perfectly with text files. I even analyzed the text files on a binary level and everything was perfect. Now whenever I try to encrypt a *.rar or a *.zip file I always get a "The file "" header is corrupt" and/or "Unexpected end of archive" errors. This is the code for the encryption and decryption algorithms: Sub EncryptFile(ByVal sInputFilename As String, _ ByVal sOutputFilename As String, _ ByVal sKey As String) ...Show All

• haryindsfjdbf How to Find last record in a database

  How can I find the last record (row) in a database I am developing a VB 2005 program that must read a sql database and find the last record so I can retrieve the last "Batch Number" used. This will then be incremented and the new "Batch" record will be inserted into the database. I can't find a SQL command that will work except to read each record until the EOF. Can this be done Thanks, Ron This application will take output files (from 1 file to possibly 9 files at a time) from our mailroom . I wanted to display the (input) file names, the assigned batch number, and total amount(maybe more) before the user actually continues. The program will then update the database with the new ...Show All

• bitbonk Getting list of all subfolders in a directory

  Hello. I am trying to find out how to write some code that'll allow me to get the folder names of every folder existing in another folder. I know how to get the names of directories immediately within the main folder, but how do I make it so it'll return the names of every folder in there (including subdirectories for all the found subdirectories) until there are no more folders in existence. I thought about just writing something so it'll put all the immediate subdirectories in a list, and run through that list one by one accumulating more folder names until it gets to the end of that list, but I guess I was hoping there was some other ways I wasn't seeing. Thank you for your help. Obviously if you want ...Show All
