• jitendra badkas Program display

  How do I get my program to display forms properly on any resolution (Example: Windows will display properly regardless of the screen resolution of the computer that it is loaded onto. ) When I open forms on any computer other than the one I wrote the program on, the right half of the form does not show. It is almost as if the form is larger than the screen, and there are no scroll bars. krhoover, Pay more attention to the properties of the Form control. When you set the Size property with a fixed number for the Width and Hight, the size of the form will always be the same. There is another property called AutoSize, you can make it true or false according to your demand. Actually, in the property win ...Show All

Import schema completes in under a second and no schema is imported, can someone advice how I can get this import schema to work TIA Rob I am not sure what is broken here, I think we would need to have access to your schema in order to be able to tell for sure.

• Zero_ Splashscreen Question/Problem.

  Greetings, I have an application that I have added a splashscreen to, the problem I am unable to solve is that when I run the application at design time (F5) the splashscreen appears and then the Mainform appears and functions as required. However if I build the application and run the program from the desktop (via an icon) the Splashscreen appears and then the MainForm however the XP startup bar appears and the icon (for the application) is flashing which means I have to click the form to commence using it. If I have VBEE open but minimised and select the icon from the desktop the application functions as required. What do I have to do to have my application function as expected Cheers Bakerboy60 ...Show All

• shyma Start page question

  On the start page, there's a list of recent projects. I to remove projects from this list to remove clutter. The only way that I found was to move the directory and then click on the link. VS then asks me if I want to remove it since it cannot find the directory. Is there a better way Thanks, LGuy And is there any better and easier way without going to the registry just a simple deletion from somewhere My experience is that you need to delete or rename the project folder, then when you double-click on the project name on the start-page list, the name entry will simply disappear. I just deleted the *.sln file in the project folder and I got the same result. ...Show All

• Giri Preventing the need to rebuild TFS warehouse cube

  We're encountering the TFS warehouse cube problems described in "Warehouse Cube Won't Process" thread on this forum. There are a few other similar thread on this forum, too. We don't encounter the problem until we create a new team project. The problem is that the students in our class do this in one of the early exercises, which means we lose 15-30 minutes getting the students to apply the fix described in that thread. That's a lot of time to lose in class--especially a VSTS class. Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening Is there something we can do on our virtual PC image before starting the class It has a fresh installation of VSTS-TFS. Thanks!

• Nancy_Issa Options page with TreeView control

  I don't mean to rant, but for the past nine hours I have tried everything I can think of to create an Options page with a TreeView control, and I still can't figure it out. My goal is create an Options dialog with a layout very similar to the one is VB 2005 Express Edition. I've searched through IntelliSense an insane number of times to see if I can find something useful. And with no luck, I'm afraid. I can create the TreeView control, but the "dynamic" controls are what's giving me trouble. Simply put, how can I display X number of options on the right side of dialog when a certain node is selected, and then display a totally different set of options when selecting another node I was thinking of creating a load of User Controls, ...Show All

• chris fitzmartin array for IP address range

  im trying to get an IP address range into an array so that i can scan for example 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.12 the array that i created was in vb6 and even that one errored out because of the "." between each octet.. Im not using vb6 anymore, just express Hello. You should be able to add a range of ip addresses to a string array as follows: Dim IpAddresses() As String = ( New String () {"192.168.1.1", "192.168.1.2", "192.168.1.3"}) Hi... I think the following will work for what you're needing...might need to tweak it a bit here and there. Hope this helps!

• barchard Database objects not getting created in .sql file

  Hi, I'm experiencing some peculiar behaviour when building my datadude project When I right-click-->Build the resultant .sql file does not contain any of the objects (tables, keys, sprocs etc...)within my project. I have checked each individual object and they all have BuildAction='Build'. Anything that has BuildAction='PostDeploy' DOES end up in the resultant .sql file. The even stranger thing is that all those objects have been in my project for some time. I then added a completely new table and then built the project again. The resultant .sql file ONLY contained the creation statement for this new object (plus all the BuildAction='PostDeploy' stuff). This behaviour is consistent across both of my data ...Show All

• Agent00 launching an exe from application menu

  how do I launch an external program from my application menustrip That works great. Now I need to do 2 more things. 1) I need to specifiy the file path EX: C:\\myfolder\myapp.exe 2) I need to use the directory that my application is in, automatically detect the directory, and run a program in a subdirectory. EX: current_directory+"subfolder\myapp.exe" If I understand correctly this is what you need: Process::Start(Path::Combine(Application::StartupPath, "subfolder\\myapp.exe" )); Application::StartupPath gets the folder where your executable is, Path::Combine combines this path with the subfolder/exe file that you want to start. ...Show All

• odv DLL and LIB?

  I'm curious as to how I can have my project compile and produce both a DLL and a LIB file. I have seen it done before (such as SDL does so) and I have been unsuccessful in doing it myself (I have been only successful in building a DLL or a LIB, not both). Any help is appreciated; thanks! First hit I got when I typed .def in the MSDN library index. You don't want to use .def files for DLLs written in C++ without extern "C". You'd have to provide the mangled C++ symbol names. When you use __declspec(dllexport), the compiler does it for you. When the linker builds the DLL, it automatically creates a .lib file for it. That's the import library for the DLL. You can link that .lib with ...Show All
