• Visual Basic Using Enter To Tab Forward Through User Entry Fields

  Does anyone know how to incorporate the enter key to tab through entry fields instead of using buttons My code is below. I want the user to press the enter key to move from one field to the next and at the same time, have the code perform the same action(s) as if it were a button handle event. Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim file As System.IO.StreamWriter Dim aString As String = CStr (TextBox1.Text) Dim TestLen1 As Integer = Len(aString) If TestLen1 <> 5 Then aString = "a c" file = My .Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter( "C\:record.tx ...Show All

• Windows Forms Locating a program's installation folder

  I have an application that will be used by other applications installed on the client machine if the other applications see that my application is installed. Currently, during installation, my application places a value in the registry that points to the location of my application's executable. When another application wishes to run my application, it can look for this value to locate the executable. This method is all fine and good for now, but we're trying to minimize how much our applications write to the registry. I'm hoping to find a method by which another application could discover the installation folder of my application, perhaps through entries created by Windows Installer during the install process. Unfortunately, I have been un ...Show All

• .NET Development WebService - Passing page as a byref parameter

  As far as I could tell this is the best forum...apologies if it isn't. It is our task to dynamically change label and link texts on web pages based on login info. We must do this for several hundred pages every time they load. It seems a web service would be the most centralized method of accomplishing this, unless there's a tweak for global.aspx. The method I would like to use is to pass the page into the service by reference, change the texts inside the service, then return the page. My question is, how can I pass an aspx page by reference into a web service (or accomplish anything similar) If I need to elaborate more please let me know. Sadly enough I am too new to adequately answer that que ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Health Bars

  Hey, I have looked at the spacewar game template, and I noticed their hp bars are just 5 blocks. How can I make a bar like the shield bar in halo 2 A sliding bar Ah, yup... that would be 2 :) The version I was envisioning was a little more complex visually. This one doesn't have a 'bottom' or 'top'. It's just 2 separate bars. It's been a while since I played Halo. You have the concept with your 'batch.Draw(shieldbar, ...)' though :) Jason ...Show All

• SQL Server Help - Unusual Problem

  First, I can not change the data structure. I have a table called codesubsections that has an identity as the primary key. When a new codesubsection is entered the user can mark a formercodesubsection as a parent. The problem is that I need to be able to evaluate the table and identify the lowest CodeSubsectionID for a given row. so for instant when I look at row 7 it's text is 17 B p2 but because the CodeSubSectionID is not null I need to look at 6 then 5 and since 5 is null I need the text for 5,6,7 all to be 16:1 B. The only solution I have had any kind of luck with is to do a self join 3 times and coalesce the values up. See the code at the end. I am at my wits end, I had it working the other way assuming that the CodeSubSectionID wa ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Notification and System.Threading.Timer

  I am using System.Threading.Timer to check for application updates in conjunction with Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.Notification to display an alert when an update is available. I can get each working fine independently of one another, but when trying to show a notification from within the timer thread I get a beep and flashing light but can not see the notification itself. If I terminate the application through Visual Studio I then see the notification, so it looks like it's being displayed - but behind the form that is currently open. Anyone have any suggestions on how to bring a notification to the front I've tried executing the .SendToBack() method on the form that is currently open, but get an unspecified error message.
