• Windows Forms Problem calling event from control

  Hi, I have a control, SimpleSplitter , that derives from Splitter where I override the OnMouseDown , OnMouseUp , OnMouseSplitterMoved and OnSplitterMoving . I do this because I don't want the Splitter to handle these for me since it will draw what I call a shadow splitter when handling these events. So I wanted to still handle the event but not call the OnMouseDown of the Splitter , instead, I wanted the parent of the Splitter , that is the Control . I'm not seeing how I can do this. If you don't understand what I mean, you have the code here: http://n0n4m3.gamedev-pt.net/ pag=managed_component2&language=en The solution I used was to create a new event, MouseDown2 , but I don't like this solution and I think there's a better one.

• Windows Forms .NET 2.0 Changing the Select Command of a DataAdapter

  This may be a dumb question, but here goes. I have a grid with companies in in from a database. I have a combo box that I want to be populated with the permit numbers for these companies when I select on from the datagrid. To me I would think I would need to just change the Select Command of the dataadapter for the combobox to do this, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to. Am I just overlooking something or what Please Help The tableadapter is a partial class that you can extend. The class has an variable _adapter which is a data adapter. In this sample on the vb-tips website I added the ContinueUpdateOnError property to the table adapter. You can use the same technique to expose the selectcomm ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to implement a "Back Button" feature?

  I have an application that will have dozens of forms that can be launched in a somewhat random order. I would like to implement a "Back Button" feature to allow the user to go back the same way they came (bread crumbs). How can I keep track of the launched forms, in order, and make that array accessible regardless of the form I am at Thanks, Pat Crikey, there are a bazillion ways to do that.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to perform explicit Validation?

  I've implemented a validation object and successfully bound it to an input control (textBox) in XAML such that when I modify the UI, the validation fires, and prevents the value from being updated. I would like to trigger the validation explicitly, so that I can perform it as the result of a user click (eg. a Close button) and condition the closing of the window on successful validation. I tried doing this in code. Specify the UpdateSourceTrigger to "Explicit" in XAML in the Binding and validation declaration and then do the following in the click handler for my close button.            BindingExpression be = textBoxPosition.GetBindingExpression(TextBox.TextProperty);   ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums For Next stops at 16

  The following code fails when I set the upper range of the For Next loop to any number greater than 16. The error: "Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range". The statement that it throws the error on is: If Vol(i, 1) <> OldVol(i, 1) Then It works fine for any upper range up to and including 16; but 17 or greater throws the error. Any help appreciated.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Out of date pictures!!!

  Service is a good concept. However, seeing the 3D image of tall buildings thought I would take a look at the landmarks where I work and how they look. I work in the city of London so was wanting to see how the Swiss Re tower (the gherkin) would look. This is located on St Mary Axe. A search here however reveals the old site which had yet to be built on. This must've been years ago meaning the photos are out of date. It wouldn't be such a problem if the building wasn't such an integral part of the London skyline as we know it now! If anyone doesn't know what i'm talking about go to http://www.30stmaryaxe.com/index2.asp and anyone who's been or seen pictures of what little skyline London has will recognise it and hopefully see my point.

• Visual Basic New guy question, how do I do this???

  Ok, so I'm fairly new to programming, especially in .NET and VB. Everything before this was in MATLAB for me since I'm an aerospace engineer. I'm trying to build an sizing program for compressors, and I'm building a unit conversion class to take care of the obvious problem of inputs coming in as different units. I've taken care of the basics, ie: length, force, energy, pressure, volume, etc..., but now I want to do combinations thereof. The way my code works is it takes a ByRef value for either a conversion factor (for the combinations, since temperatures aren't always an absolute scale) which is initially zero or whatever, or a ByRef value for what you're trying to convert, and the input units, and the output units. The units were crea ...Show All

• .NET Development Table Adapter Query with Parameterized Where Like Failure

  Hello: I built a query using the query builder as follows: Select Customer_ID, Customer_Name From Customer Where (Customer_Name LIKE @Name) When I test this query from within the query builder it work fine and supply a parameter of T% it works fine. However, if I use the View Data function of Database Explorer or bind the query to a ListBox and supply the same T% parameter it returns no data. The table contains two records with a Customer_Name of "Test Customer" and "test customer" It's interesting to note that in both the View Data Function and the list box if you supply a parameter value of "test custome%" the query works. Anyone got a clue on what's going on and how to fix this ...Show All
