• Aloepages Using a declared function in a dir' address.

  Hi Guys, Ill be upfront, i am extremely new to VB and am still learning the ropes, so apologies if i do not make much sense lol!

• SoniaJulka Is it Recursion (or is it Memorex)

  I have a function called from a paint event that writes (DrawImage) on the control. It works ... so I thought nothing more about it ... U N T I L ... I went back a put a breakpoint into the code to Debug a problem, and then I noticed something strange. Instead of just working and exiting, it keep re-entering the function. I put a counter in it and it re-entered at least 14 time. I image it has to do with the 'Paint" event, but it certainly worried me. Here is the really strange part: When I took the breakpoint out, the counter now says the function is only entered once. Here is a simplified version of the code: <Code> Private Sub Panel1_Paint( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System ...Show All

• Ken_Bussell Application - Object Browser interface.

  Alright, I must admit that I am an object browser addict. Is it a Dll that an be called by another application It does sound like it's not something as simple as a dll to load. :( you can write your own Object Browser using reflection. here is a tutorial http://www.programmersheaven.com/2/Dot-Net-Reflection-Part-1 I didn't think it was part of the framework. I was hoping there was a dll, even a com dll. It could be that the Object Browser uses the native metadata interfaces instead of .NET reflection. Not only that probably this is faster but it also avoids actually loading the assemblies. As for the text that probably comes from the xml documentation files. I don't know if there is an API for ...Show All

• Phonics3k Need to update DatagridView date cell when another cell is edited

  Hi, I have a DataGridView with a Prices column, which can be edited by the user. I also have a date column, in which I would like to automatically insert todays date, when the corresponding Price is edited. So far, the following code works fine, and any edited cell has its colour changed as a flag. The update is handled by the DataAdapter and I can't figure how to introduce todays date into the corresponding cell. Private Sub dgvDimensions_CellBeginEdit( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs) Handles dgvEditPrices.CellBeginEdit preEditValue = dgvEditPrices.Item(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex).Value.ToString End Sub Private Sub dgvDimensions_CellEnd ...Show All

• Corey Furman OwnerDrawn ListBox items with custom heights?

  I've made a ListBox with OwnerDraw=True. How can I specify the heights of indiviual items in the ListBox Thanks for your reply, but I asked the wrong question, sorry I meant a ListView not a ListBox. Simple example to set alternate rows to a different height and draw them with a bigger font. ListBox1.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawVariable Private F1 As New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Bold) Private F2 As New Font("Arial", 20, FontStyle.Bold) Private Sub listBox1_MeasureItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MeasureItemEventArgs) Handles ListBox1.MeasureItem If e.Index Mod 2 = 0 Then e.ItemHeight = 20 Else e.ItemHeight = 30 End If End Sub Private S ...Show All

• Peter Haik replacement for quick-console

  After some time thinking I was crazy because I couldn't show a quick console I did some searching of posts to find out that quick console has bee removed in 2005 :(. It seems that a few people have asked what to do in its absence but have received no answer. I will see if I have better luck, because I really need its functionality. Without quick-console, what is the easiest way to quickly display text for debugging purposes without interrupting program flow I have tried using system.diagnostics.debugger, but have had no success and the docs aren't so great.

• vdv_phuong IDE giving weird build error

  I just finished putting the first 6 datagrid controls on my form and i went to go test it and got this build error: Error 4 Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewTextBoxColumn'. C:\Software\Form1.vb 1425 19 When the line generating the error is this Me.Name = "Form1" where it has the "Form1" portion underlined in blue. This is a weird error because that line was made by the IDE to say the name of the form and has nothing to do with 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewTextBoxColumn' I tried saving my progress and restarting the IDE with no luck...any suggestions EDIT: Now I cannot even access the form in designer mode, it shows this ...Show All

• swoodby link vb to fortran

  I have several subroutines which are written in FORTRAN.

• Ilan D Add permissions to exe

  I want to add permissions to an vb.net exe. I don't want them in a separate file. What i want is for a user to click on a link in there browser, select run, and have the program run, instead of saying don't have permissions to display window. and no i don't want to use click once, its buggy, and don't work in firefox by default. I think that it is not a bug, but rather is by design. The reason it runs when you click save and does not run when you just click run is because you are running it from the 'Internet Zone'. When I suggested that you check the firewall, i'm not refering to packet filtering, i'm refering to an application firewall like Symantec Firewall that will monitor all applications th ...Show All

• vbnetdiscuss vista style gel buttons...

  like I see in Windows Media Player 11 and elsewhere The play button and other controls are gorgeous running on XP. Are those commodity items yet I would love to make some custom forward/backward buttons and see the blue bleed out effect in my current controls in my vb.net winforms app. 1.  Are they simply standard .bmp or some other format that can be easily added to an existing .net control such as a button, checkbox or radio button array 2. Are there tools that make this doable for the developer or is this still in the domain of a graphic artist or developer in the know I don't have the time, as is the usual case, for an immersion course in a graphics package such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro.
