Hi,
You said that
obarahmeh wrote: I need to open a folder in somewhere using some key choosen throw the form
So if you already know the location of the folder, of which you want to fill the files, then just iterate through the files collection of the directory object and fill the combo box with the names of the files. You can use foreach statement for this.
Hope this helps !

yes, but I need the opposite side, I need to read from a folder which is already known before and fill the contents of that folder in the ComboBox.

Sorry but i didnt got you this time .

Thats what i have told you. Read the folder contents using the Files collection and populate the combo with file names.
If i havent got ur point still, please explain giving an example of from where to pick file names and what information will come from form ,etc....

Please guide me in the following scenario
I am developing c#/VB application using Visual Studio 2005. I want that when the user executes my application then:
1- The window should create a new Virtual desktop using MSVD.
2- My application should run in the new desktop. Only my application should be allowed to run.
3- I should have the options to modify the start menu in the new virtual desktop
4- When user close application the virtual desktop should shutdown
How can I achieve this?
I will be very thankful.

Hi all,
Im doing a project in VB.Net and im drawing the lines and rectangle on mouse down event of a label or picture box. And im checking it for redraw..
My question is, Which is the the best way?
1. Loading the image(with cross lines with same text as before) at runtime after clicking the label control or picture box dynamically.
2. Drawing a cross lines on the label or picture box on mouse down..
Which performance will be better, I found that when the form get restored it took some time to load when i use drawing.
Please guide me as its very urgent.
Regards
Mukil

You need to ditch the picture box, handle the Paint event, and draw the lines direct onto the screen.

Hi, in Ms. access I have one table call tblName which contain two fields: ID and Name. Then I design one form and now think about the control that could help me to produce a dynamic column based on the record in the table. For example, if my table have two record:
ID Name
001 Smith
002 Janny
Then when the form load the control will display
Smith Janny as the collumn header. Then tomrrow when user add 2 more record to:
ID Name
001 Smith
002 Janny
003 Vibol
004 Smey
Then when I load the form, the column should dynamic to create below:
Smith Janny Vibol Smey
Does any one know how to do that and which control that should I used in Ms access form.

Who wants to compile a small program for me in VB 6.0 (or earlier version).
In VB2005 you cannot compile to Win32.
==========
dim loCertCryptCOM as New ccomcryptlib.ccrypt
dim lstrhash as string
dim lstrcert as string
dim lstrerr as string
open "hash.txt" for input as #1
input #1, txttext
close #1
open "key.txt" for input as #1
input #1, txtcert
close #1
locertcryptcom.createhash txttext, txtcert, lstrhash, lstrcert, lstrerr
open "sign.txt" for output as #1
print #1, lstrhash
close #1
open "cert.txt" for output as #1
print #1, lstrcert
close #1
close()

Good luck with this. I haven't used VB6 in about 6 years now. Also, without that library your referencing in the first line, noone can compile the app anyway.

If you do the follwing in VB6
<br />
Dim myVar as Boolean<br />
myVar = True<br />
<br />
Debug.Print myVar<br />
you'll see a 'True' in the debug window, but only on an english system, the string is actualy language dependent.
My problem now is that I need to read a text file that was written with VB6 with C++.
Therefore I need a list of the languages VB6 was shipped and the used strings to represent the value of a Boolean.
Thanks

VB6 was probably shipped in about 15 different languages, give or take. I don't know what those were and there is no longer a compiled list since VB6 support came to an end.
You're best bet on finding out what those words were would probably be asking the user in an Options dialog you create for your app. You could probably get away with supplying a default set of values for True, translated into various languages by hand.

I think this is actually a combination programming/hardware question but I'm trying to set up a normal SPST type switch to execute a keypress combination (ie, CTRL+BREAK, ALT+F4, etc.). Having come into programming "later in the game" I don't have any experience with serial programming which I believe would be the best option for this. Basically I need to know which pins to solder to the switch and if any input voltage is necessary, and how I am to use Mscomm (I suppose) to perform what I want. Thanks for all your help in advance.

I apologize I meant to be more specific on the part of wanting to use the D-type 9 pin connection as I know serial is actually a general term.

The usual port being used for stuff like this is the parallel port, not the serial port. There are many example using the parallel port on the 'Net. All you have to do is Google for "parallel port LED Switch" for examples.

I said the "usual" port to use is the parallel port. I didn't say it couldn't be done with the serial port. I said this because, given the low number of pins in the serial port that you can actually control and use for this, the parallel port gives you much more scalability and flexibility.

Hi, I am creating a GUI to a database, I would like to know when I click a button to open a new database, all open MDI children relating to the old database that are open are closed without closing the parent form.
I stored the name of the parent form into a module and tried this, but it only closes one, if there are more than one it does not work.
ParentName.mdif.ActiveMdiChild.Close()
Any suggestions are greatfully appreciated.

I managed to get it done, I pasted the code underneath incase someone else has a similar problem.

Dim form As System.Windows.Forms.Form
For Each form In Me.MdiChildren
form.Close()
Next form

Hello,
i have a Windows Form that displays a DataSet created at run-time whitin an object i derived from DataGrid.
The user can modify datagrid's cells.
When the user clicks on a "Save" button an INSERT SQL query is created by iterating the rows of the associated DataSet.
The problem is that i cannot keep the DataSet updated with user's changes.
I've thought that databinding DataGrid's derived control with his DataSet property could have worked but i'm confused about how to do it.
Any hints?
Do i have to use a CurrencyManager or something like
"Me.DataBindings.Add("SetDati", Me.SetDati.DefaultViewManager, tabName)"?
Why does BindingContext is associated with Form?
Note that i want to use the control in two ways:
1. Create dataset -> Display dataset -> Get user changes -> Save changes to database
2. Load query into dataset -> Display dataset -> Get user changes -> Save changes to database
Here is the control code:
Public Class SQLDB_Viewer
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid
Private odbConn As OleDbConnection
Private odbAdapter As OleDbDataAdapter
Private dsSetdati As DataSet
Private tabName As String
Private selCom As String
Private dbPath As String
Private connString As String
ReadOnly Property SetDati() As DataSet
Get
Return dsSetdati
End Get
End Property
Public Sub New(ByVal db_path As String, ByVal selCommand As String, ByVal table_name As String)
MyBase.New()
connString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source=" & db_path
selCom = selCommand
dbPath = db_path
tabName = table_name
odbConn = New OleDbConnection(connString)
odbConn.Open()
odbAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter(selCom, odbConn)
odbAdapter.TableMappings.Add("Table", tabName)
dsSetdati = New DataSet
odbAdapter.Fill(dsSetdati, tabName)
dsSetdati.Tables(tabName).DefaultView.AllowDelete = False
dsSetdati.Tables(tabName).DefaultView.AllowNew = False
dsSetdati.Tables(tabName).DefaultView.AllowEdit = True
Me.DataSource = Me.SetDati.Tables(tabName).DefaultView
odbConn.Close()
End Sub
...
End Class
Thanks a lot

OK, the keyword was "parameters" to use in a custom insert query.
