• ykgreene toolTip

  Any example on how to use the tooltip function you may need to be more descriptive but here is a simple example on how a tooltip is used: Dim theToolTip as new ToolTip() theToolTip.SetToolTip( Control , Text )   so if I wanted a tool tip on a textbox theToolTip.SetToolTip(Me.theTextBox, "This is a tool tip!" )   you could also say, show this tool tip when the mouse hovers of that textbox, by implementing the TextBox's MouseHover event, then place the code above in there, so when you hover over the control, it should show it. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.tooltip.aspx Does this help Thanx ...Show All

• sontek External DB Synonyms Cause Compilation Errors

  Hello! I have a solution with two database projects in it. In both we use synonyms for any cross-database references, e.g.: USE [AdventureWorks] GO /****** Object: Synonym [dbo].[synNorthwindEmployees] Script Date: 11/23/2006 15:18:35 ******/ CREATE SYNONYM [dbo].[synNorthwindEmployees] FOR [Northwind].[dbo].[Employees] GO USE [Northwind] GO /****** Object: Synonym [dbo].[synAdvWorksEmployees] Script Date: 11/23/2006 15:25:26 ******/ CREATE SYNONYM [dbo].[synAdvWorksEmployees] FOR [AdventureWorks].[HumanResources].[Employee] The problem we're experiencing is that any view that uses a synonym for an item from the other database causes a compilation error when we build the solution.

• Vlad Shimov How do I disable resizing in applications?

  I want to disable the ability to resize or maximize my applications. What code do I put in the program, and under what class (form load, etc.) Thanks To set a form as not resizeable set the BorderStyle ( FormBorderStyle ) to something appropriate: to display a non-resizeable form it would be set to FixedDialog . The 'resize' border on a form will not show, hinting that it isn't a resizable form: this is important for accessability reasons. No code needed. Just set MaximizeBox property to False and make MinimumSize and MaximumSize the same. Thanks to both of you ...Show All

• TheSniipe Access external functions?

  I was wondering if there was anyway I could call functions from my form1.vb in my usercontrol1.vb.  Or maybe if i could just save them to a .vb file, dont know how to do that tho. Also, is there anyway to carry variables between usercontrols. well you could make a module which exposes the values/variables you want to access and share around classes/usercontrols. So create a module and expose properties/common functions you will be using as a public member, then access them from any other class. so add a module. Then create public properties and functions and subs that you want to use which are commonly used around classes. Example:   Module MyModule    public functio ...Show All
