• abhishek thakur why does toolstripcontainer/toolstrips show up on form load?

  Intended behavior is to NOT have the ToolStrips or the ToolStripContainer appear on Form Load, only the PanelMiddle and PanelBottom. I want the toolstripcontainer and its toolstrips to appear only after a tab control's selected index changed event is fired. I thought that setting all of the toolstrips/toolstripcontainers to false in MainForm_Load below would do the trick . So why are all the toolstrips visible when the application is run Before I actually select the tab control's index that would set visibility to true Thanks, -greg MainForm.Designer.vb Me.ToolStripContainer1.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(Me.PanelBottom) Me.ToolStripContainer1.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(Me.PanelMiddle) Me.ToolStripContainer1.TopToolStripPanel.Con ...Show All

• AlucardHellSing How to transform files from code?

  I have the following files format for VISUAL STUDIO 6 Pack, which I have to transform to EXE application: 1. PDM 2. vbp 3. frm 4. frx 5. SCC 6. vbw I'm new to this and would like to know how to do Regards Hi - Let me make sure I understand the transform you want to do. So you have a VS6 project (vdp) + source code files (frm, frx, etc) and you want to create a built application EXE If so, the way to do this is File -> "Make EXE". If your goal is to convert this code into VB.NET code using VS 2005, you can use File -> Open Project and choose the VDP file. This will automatically convert the code to VB.NET using an upgrade wizard. You can learn more about VB upgrade gu ...Show All

• SuriP how do I Refresh "My Computer" network drives for vb express 2005 data access

  Since windows 2000 came out there has been annoying red "X" on My Computer's network drives. If you click on them, they go away and the files are displayed. In VB 2005, the mycomputer.filesystem.drives.item(n) does not refesh them and directory.getfiles("P:\") returns an error "could not find part of the path P:\" When I double click on P: in my computer, the error goes away and I can read the files again. This is annoying becuase I write a lot of network applications. How can I implement code in my program to refresh drive "P:" I just tried : Using sw As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter( "P:\temp.log" ) That does not work also... ...Show All

• clint 2 Hiding, but not overiding or replacing, a inherited property

  My last thread was locked before I could get my question anwsered, but i realize that the moderater did it because he thought my question had already been anwsered, which is my fault because I did not explain my question clearly; I am a poor writer of English. I know that the forums must be kept clean, so let me refrase my question: I want to make the Height property not useable from outside the class I inherited from usercontrol, but it is not virtual so I can NOT use the override and browsable(flase) method, I cannot use the new key word because I still need the height property inside of my class. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Yes you can use New . Use New to hide the property and set t ...Show All

• Subtle Confused

  I notice this forum has the same name as the old off-topic program that is taboo to talk about or even mention in a sentence ~ as even I noticed in a post.  Shouldn't they add the .Net to the forum name as they have it on the retail box After all .Net IDE/compilers are very different from their previous generations. It probably would make little difference. You'll note that The top of the forum details Visual Basic General Questions and discussions not covered in the other VB forums such as Data and Setup.
