Ah... I hadn't noticed that the 'Private ignore As Boolean = false' is outside the subroutine.

Pop.

Hi .Paul,

I don't follow the logic of that. Surely every time the text is changed the subroutine will be called, and every time it's called 'ignore' will be set to false.

That's why I used a...

Thanks .Paul,
If you look back to my original coding for BoxChange, (Post #2) you'll see that originally I used Char and a Unicode value, I only changed it because I didn't (don't) understand why I...

Thanks .Paul,
'If txt >= "A" And txt <= "Z" Then' Works correctly.
It only checks that it's a letter, not a number, because numbers are permitted but in the smaller font. I need the letter to be...

I've changed the code in Sub BoxChange to remove the Char but it's made no difference, the app. still just exits as previously described.

Thanks .Paul,

Although it's coded, I'm not actually using AccessibleName anywhere, it's there just in case I need it.
I took it out but it made no difference. I found 'Attempting to write to...

Oh...

Attempting to write to protected memory !

What on earth is 'Protected memory' ?

Hi,

I have a little application which keeps closing down whilst I'm using it.

I have no idea why it does that, it definitely closes down, it's not just hiding.
There is an Exit button but the...

Thanks guys...

I thought I'd try my hand at making crossword puzzles, so I'm making a small utility to draw an adaptable skeleton, all the squares need to be square so I decided against a TLP...

Hi,

I don't understand why my TextBoxes are not square. The form is 600px square, and there are 14 rows of 14 boxes.

Hi Jerry,

At first glance I'd say that you need your subroutine 'Dep_OnChange' to actually do something.


Poppa

This subroutine (as you can see) is called when TextBox1 text changes, which apparently happens when I start the application, I don't know why... TextBox1 has no text at start-up.

This...

Thanks for the reply John, the concatenation information is very interesting, I didn't know that.. It'll save a lot of typing and make reading code easier.

I do know that I have to include any...

Hi,

I reckon that I've used this type of code previously with no trouble: -

No, I didn't know it's not WPF.
And as I said, I've abandoned this project.

I was only trying to make a quick tool for a specific purpose which is long since resolved.


Poppa

No, I'm sorry, it was so full of error warnings that I didn't want to spend the time trying to sort it out.

As for the VS version, I've gone back to using VS2019, VS2022 is missing something which...

I tried, I did find something but its in JavaScript !
Sdaly I can't find a converter.




Poppa

Sorry guys, I'm going to abandon this.
I already have a little tool to do what I want, I was trying to make it automatic but it's proving too complicated.

I'll stick with:-

Thanks Peter,

I tried this code, first impressions are not favourable because: -

PS.

Ah... I've just seen Niya's reply, that's very helpful and only produces the one error.

I always thought its route was Infinity.

Hi dday9,

I tried that and that code seems to be full of errors which doesn't inspire much confidence. Take a look at Line 29 in the first block of code for instance !

Also, I'm not familiar...

Oh... The download is just the whole thing in one go ?

I thought it was something else.

I'll do that.

Thanks Dbasnett,

I'd already seen that one, I didn't understand it then either, there's a very useful web-page here for converting from C# to vb.NET (Amongst others) and even using that to get the...

Thanks Dday9,

The first URL looks to have the answer, I tried to get the .zip file, you have to be registered to download it. As far as I'm aware I'm not registered with 'em. I tried to log-in...

HI,

I've spent a day and a half searching the web for a method of getting text from the current screen.

I would like to be able to highlight text in (say) an open Notepad, click 'Start' in my...

This dinosaur still thinks in terms of VB3.0.

Thanks again to John, always useful advice.

Poppa

Hi PlausiblyDamp,

I wasn't trying to convert 'em, I was just complaining that examples in a vb.NET text were in C#.

Pop.

Thanks for the advice Niya... However, that's far far easier said than done. I can't find anything anywhere which explains how to amend my code to accomplish the task. It certainly doesn't help when...

Hi,

I have a little tool which I use to read the ASCII value of individual characters in a string. The form includes a TextBox and a Button.
I enter a word to check into TextBox1, and click...

Thanks John,

I'll take a look at that.


Poppa

Thanks John,

Yes, I guess that's what was happening, the extract I posted was the result of clicking a 'Details' button. Sometime later, when it happened again, I saw, and clicked a button to...

Hi,

I'm testing a new project, it's been working, but when I load it with a large task it stops and I get I get the following message: -

I have no idea what it's telling me.


Poppa

Thanks guys... I think running it as Admin did the trick.


Poppa

Thanks for the reply Steve, Yes I have, I meant to say so in my first post.

Hi,

I have a Very Old game, simple to play and a favourite of SWMBO, installed in a Windows 10 notepad.
This game runs best in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2.

I can go in and...

Oh bugger !
Yes I ought to have realised that, I had a feeling at the back of my mind that there was a reason but didn't bring it forward.

Thanks Paul.

Hi Rmorris,

Assuming that after each "<DELETE>" there is a carriage return, then this ought to work.

If you're dropping a Pbox into a TLP you can't 'Extend' the box 'Over' the cells, there can only be one item in any one cell.

You could try Here, There are many free icons and better still... you can make you own.

The first thing I notice is that you're using '+' to concatenate (join) (what I have to assume are) two string variables.
