• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I

  Hi, How do I get a form that I have designed to do the following: Take the data from 5 seperate input boxes (5 seperate text boxes used for input) and output the largest and smallest number to seperate output boxes (2 seperate labels used for output). If the user inputs a number in each box for example 25, 15, 75, 45 and 67 and then clicks my button "Find" I want the largest number to go in the largest output label and I want the smallest of them to go in the smallest output label. How do I code my button to take these 5 input numbers regardless of their order and output only the largest and the smallest of the group of numbers I hope someone understands what I am asking. Thanks, DC Here is my coding so fa ...Show All

• Windows Forms textBox Question

  is there a way to allow only ' a-z A-Z 0-9 ][{}()-* ' characters to be typed into a normal textBox the MaskedTextBox wont work in the way that i want it too. Im using VC++ 2005 thanks Hmm. You have to pass the e->KeyChar as the first parameter of IsMatch method... Some kind of conversion will be required... Also, make sure you have assigned the textBox14_KeyPress handler to textBox's KeyPress event... Andrej ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I programmatically add checkboxes to a form at runtime

  The problem i'm having is programmatically adding checkboxes to the form. So far I have this code which works: Checkbox cbk = new Checkbox(); cbk.Location = new Point( 10, 10 ); cbk.Text = "I was created at runtime"; this.Controls.Add( cbk ); But I need to have the checkbox name generated by the database, I am unable to figure out how to assign a value from a SQLDataReader to be the name of the checkbox, my attempt below will not work (just replacing the hard coded name with the value from the db): while (reader.Read()) {   CheckBox reader[1].ToString() = new CheckBox (); reader[1].ToString().Location = new Point (10, 10); reader[1].ToString().Text = "I was created at runtime" ; this .C ...Show All

• Visual Studio Report Slow at the Printer

  Have a couple of clients that are saying the report is quite slow at the printer. Both clients indicate that a page will print and there is a long pause until the next page starts to print on the printer. I tried a little test here in the office and found that a 200 page report grows to as much as 95 MB as it is spooling to the printer. I compared this to the old report writer we used for the same report in a previous version and the size only hit about 16 MB. Why is there such a difference in the size Has anyone one else found this situation and is there anything that can be done to resolved this Thanks in advance for any information.

• Visual Studio Unexpected number of DataSet classes found in user validation file

  Hi, my VS2005/SQL Server 2005 app contains a number of forms that display and permit updates of database fields, via the standard DataSet/BindingSource/TableAdapter mechanism. For most fields, this is straightforward and works well. I'm having trouble with parameterized queries however. For a query that requires access to a second table, I establish a binding source & table adapter for that table on the form with no problem. When I attempt to do an 'Add Query...', and define a new return-data query (either via query text or the Query Builder), I get the error: "Unexpected number of DataSet classes found in user validation file. Do not manually modify the class-structure of this file." What might be the root cause of this ...Show All

• Visual Basic Text color

  Hi, I have a little sub here to add a line of text to a richtextbox and set the color of the first line. It works fine for the first line, but for some reason after setting the color of the first line, it sets the rest of the text in the textbox to the color it used for the first line the previous time the sub was called (which obviously isn't what it should be). Here's the sub (oType is an enum but I don't think that'll be the problem) So if I'm correct this is what you mean : Dim msgcolor As Color = Color.Blue Select Case otmsg Case oType.SendAlert msgcolor = Color.Orange Case oType.SendError msgcolor = Color.Red End Select txtOutput.Select(0, (tempdate & temptitle & tempmsg).ToString.Length) txtOutput.SelectionColor ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Installing device driver

  I have created a device driver for PPC that I install and setup registry entries for in HLM\Drivers\BuiltIn. Under PPC 2003, my device driver DLL gets loaded at boot time. If I go into he remote process viewer and view device.exe, my dll shows up in the list. OTOH, on a WMv5 device, the dll does not show up under device.exe until my application calls RegisterDevice. Is there a way on WMv5 to get my device driver DLL pre-loaded since it doesn't seem that BuiltIn works like it use to What limitations are there for loading device dlls On one particular device, The RegisterDevice call fails with a rc=2 (NOT FOUND) even though the DLL is in \Windows just like on devices where it works.

• Smart Device Development CeFindFirstFile using VB6

  Ok, my first Smart Device project and I've come to a bit of a standstill, trying to find out what files are on the device. Tried the CeFindAllFiles, but from what I have read I don't think it will function in VB6. So, on to CeFindFirstFile and and CeFindNextFile. It all looks so easy. I'm confused as to how you set up the returning information. I keep seeing references to 'CE_FIND_DATA', but what is that all about If anyone has an example or ideas it would be appreciated.
