• Windows Forms Creating a Class with multible controls

  I would like to create a class that includes a group box and several checkboxs. I want it so when you create a new instance of the class it creates the groupbox and the checkboxs, I do not want to have simply refrence an exsiting groupbox, ect. I have no Idea how I would go about the creating the groupbox and checkboxs so they would appear on the form through a class. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.

After that you'll still need to build the project to have it show up in your toolbox but the rest of the tutorial will still help y ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums How to find the maximum zoom available?

  After I map an address, how can I find out what the maximum zoom level is available (that is, the maximum I can zoom into without the "missing tiles") Thanks! Thanks for the update John.  I've looked through the API and found that there are only two methods in relation to determining max zoom level:  map.vemapcontrol.GetCurrentViewMaxZoomLevel();  map.vemapcontrol.GetMaxTileZoom(); Both of these are not in relation to the "no image" photo that you get in aerial/hybrid which leads me to believe that the tile server is managing what images are getting displayed and not the API control ...Show All

• Visual C# a quetion about events

  Hello, can someone please tell me what is the difference between the two syntaxes: this .Enter += new EventHandler (Form1_Enter); this .Enter += Form1_Enter; I've noticed that both of them work. So which one should I use does it matter Thanks, Ori There is no difference (other than the shorter syntax). The compiler knows the type of the event handler needed from the event itself. The second form is new for .NET 2.0. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Calling open another form

  Yet another question for you guys: I have created 2 forms in my application. I want a button on Form1 to "call open" Form2 without opening another window. AKA: Sort of like a "Next Page" option. What code would I put in the button event handler to perform that task It works when I tested it. When I open Form 2, it hides Form 1 as well. I was not really looking for a code to actually bring a new form up INSIDE of another form... Although that would be neat if I could find out how to do that... Give me the details, what code do i put where lol... (im completly new to this, forgive my ignorance). Thanks a billion trillion! ...Show All

• Visual Basic Searching Records on Windows Form

  I can't seem to find a solution for this anywhere! Everywhere I've searched on Google always shows me how to do this with a datagrid - but not a form. I've created a form which correctly displays all my fields in a recordset. I can scroll through them, add new records, delete records, etc. etc. and everything is fine. I now want to add a Search field to the form so that when the user enters a search string, it automatically searches through the dataset and refreshes the display to display the appropriate search result (i.e. populates the currently open form with the appropriate record). Any help will be appreciated. Thanks DeborahK, however I don't seem to have the 'productretievelist' op ...Show All
