• Tone Southerland Tips on Window Attributes (size, location, etc.)

  So I have a program for my job that allows the user to open any number of individual windows that each display a customizable amount of data, type of data, etc. But that part's unimportant, the important thing is, unlimited windows are openable. The window attributes themselves are stored in a list of open windows. What I'd like to implement is the ability to choose some preset layouts. I know how I can programmatically create new windows, but my issue is arranging them. What do y'all suggest as the best way to do this, handling different screen resolutions and stuff like that A percentage of the user's screen width perhaps And do y'all have any methods to suggest using besides the normal setCoord, setWidth and setHeight ...Show All

• Michael_75 COM and vb.net IPC

  i am trying to get a VB6 application to interact with a VB.NET application. how can i get the VB6 progrm to open and interact (call subs and functions) with the VB.NET program. i would prefer not to use a DLL for the VB.Net program as it is used as a stand-alone application as well, and it is a HUGE pain to maintain both dll and exe versions of the same exact program (not to mention installing both on a users computer). i would love to have some way to communicate with the VB.Net program similar to how Excel or Word is used in VB6: set objVar = createObject("Excel.Application") but instead have: set netVar = createObject("my.net.exe") does anyone know how to do this thanks ...Show All

• KevinBurton My.Resources is being weird.

  This is what I do. Click the Resources tab of My Project and add a new text file. The text file is called velocity. The text file contains the text "Common Velocity". When I use My.Resources.velocity, the tooltip for velocity says the following: Friend ReadOnly Property velocity() as String Looks up a localized string similar to . As if it thinks the file is empty. I have another textfile with only one line and it is interpreted perfectly. It is weird. I have tried making the file numerous times and even renaming it. Any idea what the problem could be. I am using vb8. I couldn't reproduce this. I wouldn't worry about it, this is just Intellisense getting confused, it has got a bunch of problems.

• William Wallace Building A Screen Saver

  Hello, I am trying to build a screen saver for our Marketing department at work. It is based around one single Flash control on the form. Problem: The Flash control doesn't support a MouseMove event, to exit the screen saver when someone moves the mouse. I've tried a few things, like sitting a text box on top of the control, and putting Flash into a user control - no such luck. What happens though is that if the mouse pointer is already hovering over where the form appears (I.E. outside the flash control) when one runs it, it immediately exits, when the mouse hasn't actually moved! Also, I want to hide the mouse pointer when the form runs. Does anyone know how to do these things Regards ...Show All

• monchhib Maskedtextbox

  hello. A question please. how can I give the focus to a maskedtextBox Thanks. I place 2 controls on a form. A textbox (tabindex=0) and a maskedtextbox (tabindex=1). In the load event of the form I only wrote maskedtext.box.focus. I don't know why it doesn't work. Thanks, but It doesn't work. Use its .Focus() method, like this: MaskedTextBox1.Focus() Try placing that code in the Shown event. Tony Then there's probably something in your code that is stealing the focus - which control ends up being focused when you try MaskedTextBox1.Focus() And if the control i ...Show All

• robinjam Form Size

  hi, In windows application using VB.net how to dynamically increase/decrease control size when form size is increased/decreased. Thanks in advance -- Naren That would depend upon what you actually wanted to achieve. As you asked a very simple question then the could be yes . Anchor will allow you to determine which controls are anchored to the form. It may be that you only want some to be anchored. Plus different controls will anchor to different sides of the form. ie. Controls at the top anchor to the top of the form and controls at the bottom may anchor to the bottom. You may also want to set a minimum size for the form. Check out the Anchor property. ...Show All
