Hi Sean. You could use a dedicated report control, like Crystal Reports for this. You could also investigate the PrintDocument class - to print a customer order, you could either sub-class PrintDocument or add your own event handler to respond to the PrintDocument's PrintPage event. The .NET SDK documentation has some examples.

hello to all
i am using this code to send a message from my system (sys 1) to the other system (sys 2).
its working fine..... for this i need to use APIs. but i want to send a message using the shell command. can any body give the exact syntax for it ?.
next one ... is there any way to know in/from the sencond system (sys 2) ( ... to which i am sending the message ) that it has got the message when ever i send a message to sys 2 ?.
so that i can show a popup (just like msn messenger do) or play some sound when ever sys 2 gets a message from sys 1.
here is the code ...
Private Declare Function NetMessageBufferSend Lib "NETAPI32.DLL" (yServer As Any, yToName As Byte, yFromName As Any, yMsg As Byte, ByVal lSize As Long) As Long
Private Const NERR_Success As Long = 0&
Public Function BroadcastMessage(sToUser As String, sFromUser As String, sMessage As String) As Boolean
Dim yToName() As Byte
Dim yFromName() As Byte
Dim yMsg() As Byte
Dim l As Long
yToName = sToUser & vbNullChar
yFromName = sFromUser & vbNullChar
yMsg = sMessage & vbNullChar
If NetMessageBufferSend(ByVal 0&, yToName(0), ByVal 0&, _
yMsg(0), UBound(yMsg)) = NERR_Success Then
BroadcastMessage = True
End If
End Function
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim x As Boolean
x = BroadcastMessage(TxtTo.Text, TxtFrom.Text, TxtMsg.Text)
If x Then
MsgBox "Message Sent"
Else
MsgBox "Message Not Sent"
End If
End Sub

I assume you know how to put the item into the list box.
to split the string you can you
String.Split or you can use Instr(), Left(),Mid(), and Right().
Dim pos As Integer
Dim lstr As String
Dim rstr As String
Dim str As String
str = "track 01 (2.33)"
pos = InStr(str,"(")
If pos <> 0 Then
lstr = Left(str,pos)
rstr = Right(str,Len(str)-pos)
good luck

I am a newbie programing with VB.NET. I need to write an app separating Data Access Layer and form. In my DAL I have the following method:
Public Function GetcboRelationsDataSet() As cboRelationsDataSet
Dim ds As New cboRelationsDataSet
Try
cboRelationsDataAdapter.Fill(ds)
return ds
Catch exc As Exception
Dim msg As String
msg = "Error reading Widget List from database"
Throw New DALException(msg, exc, Nothing)
End Try
End Function
And in my form this code to bind the dataset:
Private Sub frmListeRelations_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim rh As New RelationsHandler
Try
lstRelations.DataSource = rh.GetcboRelationsDataSet
lstRelations.DisplayMember = "sNom"
lstRelations.Refresh()
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub
Is this correct ? The code runs fine but no data comes up.

I’m working on a project which is designed to collect data (a LOT of data) from the user and store it in a database. In VB6 I probably would have used multiple forms (I’m still just learning though) but with VB.NET it seems more practical to use one form with multiple userControls and each userControl containing panels and each panel containing the necessary controls to collect the data.
My question is: Using a function under a btnNext, for example, how can I cycle through each of my panels?
Does anybody know of any good resources or examples that would illustrate this type of thing?
Thanks
Brad

Hi all,
I am facing a problem in a program of mine , i am designing a software that is tracking the users activities in IE , it matches the users url requests with an internal db of restricted urls and if found can close the IE , but the problem is reading the content in the address bar makes the IE close even from the IE cache ,, i want to allow the url to remain i the cache and the user can type it in the address bar as well (previously i was blocking as soon as the user was typing it.) but when the user hits the enter key or url i want to block it. Problem is how i know or trap whether the page has started to load or the IE has load it.I want to block it on request. How i do that .. Please advice ...
Thanks in advance ...

I have a VB project that contains a number of controls. The project is called Controls and one of the controls for example is called Label. So when used in another project the control type name is Controls.Label. Fair enough.
I have reimplemented the Controls library containing the controls in ATL keeping all the original GUIDS, IIDs and names to maintain compatibility. But VB insists on appending Ctl to my name, making it 'ControlsCtl.Label'. This makes the orginal VB form fail to load.
Any ideas?

i have a textbox control that displays a date field. In the validating event of the control, I am checking that the user has entered a valid date (in the format I specify and check), and if the date is not valid calling e.cancel = true to force valid date entry. My problem is that if the user trys to close the form using the X button, the validating event is still firing. I read somewhere you could check the mouse click to determine where the user clicked (title bar or client area). How would you determine where the user clicked?

Unless your using the Code Repository, you can't.
The Code Repository is like a library, where you check code in and out to work on it.
If your not using the Repository, then you'll have to depend on NTFS folder rights on your project to keep other users out of the folder.

Hi,
I use VS .NET (Version 1.0.30xxx) for the VB .NET development.
I tried to write my own class with its own properties and methods. And I was able to use them in the derived objects. This all works fine when it comes to programming.
For example....
<br />
<br />
public class MyOwnClass<br />
public sub MySubMethod()<br />
...<br />
end sub<br />
end class<br />
<br />
What should I do to get the comment/description in the IDE... when I keep the mouse over the method name, when invoking as....
<br />
dim myc as new MyOwnClass()<br />
myc.<br />
(Please ignore any errors if there is in code)
When I type that myc. dot... the list of methods in the class are displayed in the IDE... I want to see a description/comment - that says abou the methos nearby (this gets displayed in any inbuild methods in the class library)
Please help. I am sorry, if I was not able to explain my requirement properly.

You might wa to try searching in the help for Visual Basic.NET for 'Attributes and Design-Time Support' for how to add descriptions to your code.

I have two problems with a property for a custom control:
1) the default value does not show up when the properties for the custom control are viewed.
2) The size of the control at run time reverts to the initial size of the combo box which is the final result of user selections in the custom control.
These two problems may be interrelated.
The custom control is a composite of standard vb.net controls including a drop down combo (ccdropdown), some buttons, etc. The run time user sees the ccdropdown combo. At run time, when the user clicks on the drop down, the custom control displays the embedded standard controls and allows the user to set the final value which will be displayed as text in the ccdropdown combo box at which time the ccdropdown combox also closes up.
The custom control needs to have three different widths depending upon the value of a property that the designer will use. I can create a property called mode, and cause the designer to show the correct size on the design page depending on the value selected in the mode property.
The relevant code is as follows:
private parm1 as string
<typeconverterattribute(gettype(modelist)), _
="" categoryattribute("mode"),="" descriptionattribute("mode1,="" mode2,="" or="" both"),="" designonlyattribute(true),="" defaultvalueattribute("mode1")=""> _
Public Property Mode() As String
Get
Select Case parm1
Case "Mode1"
ccdropdown.Width = 90
Me.Width = 90
Case "Mode2"
ccdropdown.Width = 75
Me.Width = 75
Case "Both"
ccdropdown.Width = 150
Me.Width = 150
End Select
Return parm1
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
Select Case Value
Case "Mode1"
ccdropdown.Width = 90
Me.Width = 90
Case "Mode2"
ccdropdown.Width = 75
Me.Width = 75
Case "Both"
ccdropdown.Width = 150
Me.Width = 150
End Select
parm1 = Value
End Set
End Property
Modelist has been initalized to "Mode1","Mode2","Both"
me.width is changed so that the designer sees the proper width of the control depending on the mode selection by the designer.
I would appreciate any insight into this problem from any source.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am writing a VB app to use Word to dynamicaly create a document. It creates and all, but I am trying to create a hard page break and insert data into it. I can create the break, but I can't figure out how to have it go to the new page. Please help. Thanks,

Just starting out in programming, and I'm trying to create a program that can tell the user whether or not the word they input is a palindrome regardless of the length of the word.
Here's what I have as far as code:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim a, b As String
Dim length As Integer
a = InputBox("Enter a word to check and see if it is a Palindrome.")
length = Len(a)
If a.Substring(0, 1) = a.Substring(length, -1) Then
MsgBox("This is a Palindrome")
Else
MsgBox("This is not a Palindrome")
End If
End Sub
I get an error stateing "Additional information: Length cannot be less than zero."
Any insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated
P.S. Just for the record, I'm not looking for the answer. A point in the right direction would help though
