Hi...

Just a false alarm, I re-booted the computer and all was well.

Thanks for the reply. Meant to post this a lot earlier, having solved the issue I just got on with my project and forgot to...

Hi,

Just started a new project, first thing in the design section, set the font size for Form1.
In properties, select Font, set the Units to Pixel (As I usually do) then try to set 25px, tap...

Thanks John,
Good to know it's not just me. As for no space between controls, that's not where I leave 'em but it's a start, if for instance I have (say) five or six buttons equally spaced along...

Hi,

When I'm in a design page and wish to snap two controls together I select the control to which I want to 'pull' another, then, with Control depressed, select the other control so that the...

Thanks John,

I ran the repair on VS and that fixed the main problem, I do still have a problem with my Error List, I was going to try a new variable and just added it to the end of a 'Dim'...

Thanks Si.

I get reprimanded if I use DoEvents in any code !

Hi,

I'm not sure that this is the correct forum, because it is a question, I don't believe it's language specific, else I'd've posted it in vb.NET.

I 'upgraded' to the newest Visual Studio...

Cheers John,

Totally my fault... Clean forgot to put the arguments in the TextChange subroutine.
I didn't understand what intellisence was telling me.


Problem solved.

Hi,

I can't discover why this subroutine: -

For i = 3 To 7
bx = "TextBox" & i.ToString
txA(i) = CType(Me.Controls(bx), TextBox)
txA(i).Text =...

Thanks OptionBase1,

That's fixed it, and my modification also works, I don't know where that number came from, it was grey'd out so I thought it was the default figure.

Hi,

I've been making little tools to help with a project which has several very large List (Of String) collections.
I'm collecting data from the web, pasting it into text files and using the...

Thanks Delaney,

I didn't do anything, I opened the project in the normal way and Form2, just opened normally.
I don't know why, it's not as though I'd not tried that already.


Poppa

I have a project that I've been working on for a couple of weeks, no real problems until today.

The application runs, everything is fine, no problems. However: When I click to open Form2 design,...

Thanks Steve,

I think that must be the only thing I didn't try before posting the thread.

Hi,

I'm sure there used to be a desktop icon option to 'Fit to grid', I can no longer find this option and currently I can position my icons just anywhere, including overlapping or on top of...

Thanks guys...

All done.


Poppa

Thanks Si_the_geek,

That done it, much neater, thank you.

All I have to do now is figure out how to read from these List(Of String) :confused:

:)


Poppa

Ok...

I'm getting there.
I have ten files installed, I have ten List(Of String) all populated (I discovered that I need 'Imports System.IO' to make it work.)
But I've used (what I consider to...

Thanks John,

I figured that out and I now have two files in Solution Explorer, both set: -

Build Action = Content
Copy to Output Directory = Copy if Newer.

But I've spent over three hours...

Thanks John,

I've been trying to do that, I've just opened the Solution Explorer and 'dropped' a text file in there.
It went in ok and was sorted so I'm guessing that means it's in and accepted....

Thanks Boops Boops,
I ought to've realised that.

The bottom corner thing was only so that I could see exactly where the cursor was, it now goes exactly where I want it to.

That's another one...

Hi,

I'm trying to start an application with the cursor in the middle of the from, close to the bottom edge. It's not anywhere close to that so I'm trying to discover why, so as a trial I'm Using:...

Thanks for your help guys,

I have a working solution which produces a neat text file an example of which I've just deleted from this post because when it displays in here (in a Quote) all the...

Hi Shaman, I want to be able to do all of the above.

I really don't like unisize fonts, although I know they can make some things easier.

In the utility that I'm writing I use the same font in...

Thanks .Paul,

I know text files don't support columns, that's the problem, but I'm getting there, the first two columns are fine, and the fourth would be too if I could manage the sort out the...

Sorry, this is my fault, I should've explained what I'm trying to do.
I'm reading in a whole load of data strings consisting of four separate sections per string, these sections can be of any...

Hi,
I have a problem measuring the length of a string in pixels.
Currently I'm using this code:

Private Function MeasureText(ByVal txt As String) As Integer
Dim wdth As Integer

Hi,

I have a little test application that I am testing for a possibility of changing a file which in my resources.
Here is my code:

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Form1_Load() Handles...

Thanks john,

I don't see anywhere that it says they have to be set to flat, but changing from the default 'Standard' certainly works.


Poppa

Hi,
I have a couple of buttons on my form:
In the design properties I've set Button1's FlatButtonAppearance.MouseOverBackColor Property to Red, and Button2's ...

Thanks John,

Another useful lecture for my notes. :D

Problem solved.

Hi,
I'm trying to copy one text file from 32 text files in my resources, this code works:

Dim clue, lizt() As String, number As Integer

Private Sub Check()
clue = TextBox1.Text...

I'm sure you're right, I must get out of the habit of looking in MSDB first !

Pop.

Thanks Inferrd, that's fixed it.

I discovered what you mean, and used 'LogicalDisk' for CategoryName, and 'Disk Read Bytes/sec' for the CounterName.
this seemed to work is as much as it allowed the variable declaration, but when it...

Hi,

With reference to my thread 'Why can't I find this file ?' which was resolved, I now have a new problem.

The app. referred to in that thread was to start the Malicious software Removal...

Thanks digitalShaman,

Finding how to use that took some time, I tried to find 'syswow64' in MSDB but the only examples were in C++, very helpful! So then I tried 'sysnative +vb.NET' in MSDB but...

Hi,

I'm trying to start the Malicious software Removal Tool, MRT.exe from my application thus:

Public Class Form1

Private filePath As String = "C:\Windows\System32\MRT.exe"

...

My first port of call would be Here.
