• Visual Basic comunicate using hyperterminal

  Not doing this tommorrow, so dont bang your head to hard hear. Many years ago I started to interface with an old system we use for things(cant go into details) I fiqured out how to communicate with the old unit, it was through a hyper terminal through ms works 3 i believe. I could import the data in raw format, I tried text delimiter and got a bunch of data that was wrong(has got to do with how the data is pooled from the server. Its not consistant from start to finish). Any how, has anyone seen a article about a good way/or know from first hand of dealing with communications that could be deployed through VBE. I know what settings to use to communicate with the server, but I will have to fiqure out how to deal with the data an ...Show All

• Windows Forms discarding user actions on a form while in busy state

  Hi, I can't seem to figure out a decent way to do this. I have a small window, and I need to discard user input while performing some lenghty task. For example, if the user wants to sync the app with a server, and this takes time. The proper behavior would be to change the cursor to a busy cursor, and prevent the user from touching any control on the form. Of course, painting should still be done, and the form should be able to move and resize (user actions like move, resize, maximize, minimize). When the job is done, the cursor changes back to the default one, and the user is able to interact with the received data. I've seen various sugestions: - disable the controls (or the whole form): not good, as the appearance of the c ...Show All

  I am attempting to create tabs based on how many records are returned by an ObservableCollection.

• Visual Studio Express Editions ListBox

  I am creating a movie database program and am trying to create it so that the movie titles are displayed in a listbox on the right and the rest of the info in boxes on the left.

• SQL Server select values from multi-value parameter

  Is it possible to pass values from UI to a multi-value parameter in a report and from this report, select values from this multi-value parameter to finally display data Thanks! Follow up question please. When I get values for a multi-value parameter from SP, values are displayed with checkbox on their leftside, thus, allowing me to select from values. But when I supply values from UI using ReportParameter[] class, values displayed in report do not have checkbox beside them, and thus, not allowing me to select from those. I'd like to display values with checkbox please. Thank you. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do i bring my application to foreground

  I am facing problem when my application icon is clicked in the taskbar then it does not come into foreground as any other windows application does.Even though i have written code for window activate method.This is on c#. I'm having the same problem as above. My app listens out globally for a particular key press (Win+P) and is supposed to get focus / activate when the keys are pressed. This is my current code: if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized) { this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal; } Activate(); When I press my keys I can see the app activating: it's taskbar item flashes and a text box inside of it gets a blinking cursor, but the the app will remain behind other windows and will not be focused.

• Visual C# Need advise in programming C#.

  Hi, I am wondering if anyone can help me or point me to the right direction. Currently, I can program applications in C#. What I am lacking is the know how to setup a proper application structure. Right now when I create a project/application, everything goes in one *.CS file (with form) which works but not professional looking when you peek behind the scenes.

• Windows Forms Datagridview formatting inside a tab control

  I've been trying to figure this out for some time. I've searched for answers for people doing similar things but I am having no luck. I havegot a datagridView, populated from a database, inside of a tab control. It's 4 tabs in. I wrote some code to change the formatting of rows that contain a certain value in a certain column. This code puts a strikethough and changes the font to red. If I use this code on a form outside of a tab control, I have no problem just executing it in the Load event of the form and then on the sort event of the control. I can't get the control to format properly when inside the tab control. I've already tried adding the code to every event I can think of including form load, TabPage Enter, Tab Page Leave, go ...Show All

• Visual C++ pointer help

  Hello, I have a confusing beginner question. If I pass a pointer as an argument and then the original variable loses scope, but the pointer retains scope, since the pointer points to a variable that no longer exists, is there a chance the memory the variable occupied could get written over, therefore making the pointer point to something else I hope this makes since. Thank you! As you get used to the language, you will learn to avoid a myriad such ways to corrupt pointers. Things that I have encoutered included taking a pointer to an item on the stack then storing it in a global variable, returning a pointer (or reference) to a local variable. Deleting something on the heap, but not realizing you had ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Data Binding is not updating the database

  Hi Microsoft Community, I'm a new visual basic developer and am using the visual basic 2005 express edition with sql server 2005 express edition.  I've been going through some lessons and have encountered a situation that I'm hoping someone can identify what the issue is.
