    Movable screen objects

    Thanks, but not really. The key here is how do you manipulate the position of a screen object via the mouse? In Progress(the old apps lang), if I set selectable and movable for a textbox, the I can, as a user), select and move that textbox to a new location. If I create a new control in...

    Movable screen objects

    I am rewriting an existing app from another language to vb.net. It is basically a form designer for user defined forms. The old app allows the user to select and move the screen objects,(textbox, combobox, etc) to new locations and then stores the coordinates to a database table. The objects...

    OT: All TOOLBOX ITEMS GONE

    Sorry, I was not drawing the distinction between code and the form itself. At any rate no, it's gone. I have deinstalled the app and will reload and see. I have a demo in Canada in 48 hours and can't afford to play with this any longer. Since this is only an Academic version of VS.net and I...

    Retrieving a row from a dataset based on the Key

    Solved: By adding this to the datatable definition: Dim myColArray(1) As DataColumn myColArray(0) = DTpics.Columns("PictureID") DTpics.PrimaryKey = myColArray I was able to code the search as: Dim myFoundRow As DataRow = DTpics.Rows.Find(searchKey)

    Here is the revised code for both forms: I removed me.close() in the button1_click event, but I still have to click X twice to make this form2 fade into oblivion so I can view my results...... Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form Public myText As String Dim myInt...

    Perhaps I am missing something here..... Form1 sends the value of myText to form2 as mstr Form2 sets the textbox tb2 to that value by virtue of the byVal clause, Public Function GetText(ByVal DefaultText As String) As String tb2.Text = DefaultText I modify tb2 and set mstrText1 =...

    Running a Form from another form

    Actually I have 4 vb.net books I have been using and you might be suprised to learn that it is not particularly easy to locate information about specific syntax when you are unfamiliar with the keywords in that syntax. I have searched this forum many times for various questions and have found...
