I need to be able to get the position of the mouse (or cursor) when it is outside of the program's VB form. I have tried using Cursor.Position and display the X,Y values on the form. But when the cursor leaves the boundaries of the Form, no values are returned. ( BTW, what is the difference...

I am trying to draw something on a Picturebox and save the drawing with the PB.Image.Save. But I get the shown near the end of the following code. Imports System.Drawing Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D Imports System.Drawing.Imaging Imports System.Text Public Class Form1 Private Sub...

More info on the post: When I set a breakpoint, the icon on the line is bright red. But when I run the program, these icons turn to a light color with a tiny ! in the lower right edge. It appears that I have breakpoints disabled. How do I turn them back on?

When I started working on a program today, suddenly the debug checkpoints (Red dot on left by linenumbers) DONT'T WORK. I am trying to find the cause of "Argument out of range exception was unhandled" error, but without the checkpoint I can't find the cause. How can I turn the debug checkpoints...

Thanks for your help. I made several attempts to download different files that I found online, and now I have a control called "Chart1". Is this the same as "MSCHART", or is it a scaled down, earlier version?

Mark, Thanks for the reply. But it does not appear under the Data tab either. I tried installing the MS Chart control again, and it ran without any errors. But this time I looked at the Installation Log, clicked the Verbose option, and here are last "few" lines from the log: Created new...

I want to use MSCHART to plot some data in a VB 2008 program. When I click on the Toolbox tab, and then right-click on the Toolbox, then click on Choose Items, the Choose Toolbox Items windows is display. But when I click on the COM Components tab, MSCHART is NOT included in the list. I have...

Jebenson, Thanks for the info. Works perfectly!

While doing more searchs on the net I found a few solutions, most were very long and dense. But the simple way of getting it printed is to save the rtf to a file, thusly: Private Sub btnSaveRTF_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSaveRTF.Click...

I am using the following code to color certain parts of the text in a RichTexbox. Private Sub SetRed() Dim I, L As Integer, S As String L = 106 For I = 2 To nStk + 2 With RTB .SelectionStart = I * L + 14 .SelectionLength =...

Jebenso, Thank you! That does the job! Here is my sub: Private Sub WB_DocumentCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles WB.DocumentCompleted Clipboard.Clear() WB.Focus() SendKeys.SendWait("^a") '...

I can manually do a Control-A to select all the text on a WebBrowser control, and a Control-C to copy it to the clipboard. But... How can I get my VB.NET program to send AUTOMATICALLY a command (such as Control-A or Control-C) to the WebBrowser control?

Thanks, Bluejay07. Then that means the control is converting everything to lower case to determine the sort sequence. I knew that search engines and the internet in general did that; didn't know VB2008 also does. But it used to work the way I wanted it to, until I rebuilt the program a few...

I have several data files where the first 8 characters on each line is the date in YYYYMMDD format. Immediately following the date is a one-letter code. For example: 20100531P Some data 20100531n Some more data When I add these two lines to the listbox, I want them in the sequence shown in the...

I have some programs that use a webbrowser control. All were working fine...until one day I inadvertently changed something (I don't what) on the desktop and since then ALL the programs are displayed with enlarged controls and textsize. Could someone tell me what it was that I changed? (My...
