I have a TabControl with four tabs. Can anybody tell me how to turn off tabs so that they are not visible at all?

Here is what I’m trying but it doesn’t work:

TabControl1.TabPages(2).Hide()<br />
TabControl1.Refresh() ‘not sure if this is necessary<br />
FrmMain.ActiveForm.Refresh() ‘ I don’t want to do this but, again, I’m not sure if it is needed or not

I also tried:

TabControl1.TabPages(2).visible = false<br />
'...and the refresh stuff

And I tried:
TabPage2.Hide()

...and

TabPage2.visible = false

None of the above actions seem to have any effect on the tabs.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks
Brad

What?
Is this an ASP.NET datagrid or a Windows Form datagrid?
Start again with the combobox. How are you placing it in a datagrid? how are you loading the combobox items? How are you loading the datagrid?What is the new cell that is also displaying the combobox?What is your goal for the grid and having the combobox? Are you getting errors? Show some error messages or some code?

Without more information, like what version of VB your using, or even the code that is setting up and opening the connection, it's impossible to tell you, with any certainty, what's wrong.

But, on the assumption your using VB6, I'll point you at PRB: SendData Method Generates Error 40006[^] on MSDN. It's probably what your doing wrong.

hi all,

trying to understand classes but come up with this problem Confused | :confused:

'how can i access this class, without putting a timer of the form, i.e the control has its own timer

Private Class clock
Inherits Timer

PublicFunction systemtime()
If Me.Enabled = FalseThen ' enable timer if not already
Me.Interval = 500 ' 1/2 secs
Me.Enabled = True
EndIf
systemtime = Now.Second 'get system second, cant be anthing just example.
EndFunction

PrivateSub Test_Tick(ByVal sender AsObject, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) HandlesMyBase.Tick ' on tick run the function

systemtime()

End Sub

End Class

Friend Class Count

Dim test As New clock

Dim timer1 As New clock

Public Function displaytime() As String

displaytime = timer1.systemtime

End Function

End Class

PrivateSub Form1_Load(ByVal sender AsObject, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) HandlesMyBase.Load

Dim test As New Count
'********* problem here************ Cry | :((

'because this is only run once
Label1.Text = test.displaytime() 'this only happens once

End Sub

EndClass

'is there a way of running this class and passing the data to the label withing the timer class?

You need to have an event that is fired by your class when the time changes or whatever it is you want to display, the form can then handle this and update the label:

Public Event UpdateTime As EventHandler

So to fire the event:

Protected Overrides Sub OnTick(e As EventArgs)
         Me.SystemTime

         'Some sort of test to see if you want to fire the event
         If IsChristmas Then
             RaiseEvent UpdateTime(me, EventArgs.Empty)
         End If
End Sub

Then in on the form:

Private Sub Clock_UpdateTime(e as EventArgs, sender as Object) Handles Clock.UpdateTime
    Label1.Text = Clock.DisplayTime
End Sub

Hope this helps

Thanks for your help, i needed further info but you lead me in the right direction

i came up with this.... (this works!).....

Private WithEvents timer As Clock = New Clock

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Label1.Text = timer.systemtime
End Sub

Private Sub timer_UpdateTime(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles timer.Tick
Label1.Text = timer.systemtime
End Sub

Public Class Clock
Inherits timer
Public Event UpdateTime As EventHandler

Private Sub Test_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Tick
systemtime()
End Sub
Public Function systemtime()
If Me.Enabled = False Then
Me.Interval = 125
Me.Enabled = True
End If
systemtime = Now.Second
RaiseEvent UpdateTime(Me, EventArgs.Empty)
End Function

End Class

Thank you and have a Merry Xmas

You going to have to be alot more descriptive than that. What do you mean by "control"? Are you saying that you want one PC to click on button on another PC?

There isn't any one component. It's not a simple matter of sending a little message to the other machine. You're talking about writing your own little version of PCAnywhere. You'll need to write a server piece, which runs on the computer you want to control, and a client that will run on your machine. Basically, begin researching VNC clients. Search the comments in the VB and C# Forums and you'll come up with lots of mentions and links to some good VNC libraries that you can use.

I am building a simple FTP client with download feature. How can i authenticate myself after providing parameters on the FTP server. This the Log In code but the problem is that it is not authenticating me.

Public Function LogIn() As Boolean

Dim Ep As IPEndPoint = New IPEndPoint(Dns.Resolve(m_strRemoteHost).AddressList(0), m_intRemotePort)

Try
m_objClientSocket.Connect(Ep)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageString = m_strReply
Throw New IOException("Cannot connect to the Remote Server")
End Try
ReadReply()
If (m_intRetValue <> 220) Then
CloseConnection()
MessageString = m_strReply
Throw New IOException(m_strReply.Substring(4))
End If

SendCommand("USER " & m_strRemoteUser)
If (Not (m_intRetValue = 331 Or m_intRetValue = 202)) Then
CleanUp()
MessageString = m_strReply
Throw New IOException(m_strReply.Substring(4))
End If

If (m_intRetValue <> 230) Then
SendCommand("PASS " & m_strRemoteUser)

dataset to xmlfile

I am having trouble writing data to my xml file. I already have a StreamReader that reads the data, but when I use StreamWriter to write the data back out to the file, it writes data, but it writes blank data. It clears my file so the next time I try to run my program an error message says it can't find the origional table that was in my file before, of course thats because it isn't there now. any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong? I am writing from a form with a datagrid.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

You are probably not closing the file properly after you have written to it. Have a look at the DataSet.ReadXml and DataSet.WriteXml on MSDN, both have examples of how to code it properly:

DataSet.ReadXml - MSDN[^]

DataSet.WriteXml - MSDN[^]

Hope this helps
