It sounds like you are trying the round-a-bout way of doing things.
Could you do what you want by having separate 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons? With a cancel button you can prevent the Update, if that's what you're looking to do.
FuzMic wrote:
In particular I am interested to to check if the triggering event is the clicking of the "Close" button of the form
If you just want to know if the close button has been clicked when the Update event occurs, you could define a module-level boolean such as closeClicked initialized to FALSE.
In the Close button's OnClick handler, set closeClicked = TRUE. Then, in your OnUpdate handler, you can check the value of closeClicked to see if the button has been pushed.
Just make sure you set closeClicked = TRUE before the docmd.close acForm, me.name command.
I wouldn't go so far as to call this method 'sloppy', but I would think there should be a more graceful way of accomplishing your goal.

Dear Mike the Red from Fuzzy Mike
Perhaps my message was not clear; I am not referring to a Close "Command" button that is placed on a form. I am referring to the Form Close button that comes inherent with the form on top right hand corner; in which case, how can a boolean var be flagged on clicking since there is no such event handler within the form to set it up ... UNLESS ... it is via the Window OS???.
Come what say u; Thanks & Cheers!.
Dear Dave Kreskowiak
You wrote: Why do you need to change the functionality of the Update on Form
Close?
I am using the Update event handler to do various checks such as check for duplicate, empty fields, etc. Thus if a user click on the Form Close, the form will go into the update event if the form is dirtied. At this point if the test failed, a message tells user the option to Undo or to make corrections. However since the user want to close the form, I must drop the correction option and change the message.
By the way how do Window OS handle a form close event?
Thanks & Cheers!

I need to read values from an excel spreadsheet into a string array in VB.NET.
I can read the cells with no problems if I take the values into single dimensional variables, but I get an error when I try to read into an array.
The code fragment is:
Dim filename As String
filename = "c:\pass\userlist.csv"
Dim intRows As Integer
Dim fqn() as string
Dim r, i As Integer
' Open the Workbook in excel
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
xlApp = CType(CreateObject("Excel.Application"), Excel.Application)
xlApp.Visible = False
Dim xlWB As Excel.Workbook
Dim xls As Excel.Worksheet
xlWB = CType(xlApp.Workbooks.Open(filename), Excel.Workbook)
xls = CType(xlWB.Worksheets(1), Excel.Worksheet)
intRows = xls.UsedRange.Rows.Count
num = intRows - 1
' Scroll through all the rows and columns retrieving values.
i = 1
For i = 0 To num
fqn(i) = CType(xls.Cells(r, 1), Excel.Range).Text
Next
xlWB.Close(False)
xlApp.Quit()
xls = Nothing
xlWB = Nothing
xlApp = Nothing
The error generated is:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC.
I have added the Excel library reference (11.0)
Any help would be appreciated

I am trying to display nicely formatted text (as in RTF)
on a graphical background.
The standard RichTextBox control doesn't allow transparency,
so I could overlay a graphics, not does it allow me to set
a background image.
Could anybody tell me how I could get either of these to work,
or alternatively if there is a way to draw the formatted text
from a RichTextBox control on a picture or graphic?
Thanks,
Tom Verkaaik

I need to connect a scanner(hardware device) programmatically to my vb.net applicaion.The cloth or paper that is being scanned with the scanner should directly come in the picture box in vb.net.Can anyone please help me with it? its very important.If you have an answer then please mail me at avanti_dharkar@rediffmail.com.

You can use the ImgScan.ocx.
It exists from win 95 to windows 2000. Windows xp doesn't supply this control.
Then you can use its events to direct the scanned image to the picture box.
You can connect any ISIS or Twain scanners to it.

You've got WAY too much code for this. How about getting some pointers from How To Play a Waveform (.WAV) Sound File in Visual Basic[^] on MSDN. It's written for VB4, VB5, and VB6, but is easily convertable to VB.NET code.

Hi, I have the following two procedure:
Private Sub btnEvalGuide_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEvalGuide.Click
' the code work here.
' ...
End Sub
Private Sub btnUseDtGl_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnIntVuDmExp.Click
' the code work here.
' ...
' ...
' need to call btnEvalGuide.Click
' but i don't know how to do it.
End Sub
When the code in btnIntVuDmExp.Click run it do it task and finally i need it to call to btnEvalGuide.Click. But i don't know how to do it. Can anyone give me a suggestion???

it seems that btnEvalGuide and btnIntVuDmExp both are buttons .u can can use
call btnEvalGuide_Click(sender,e)
that's all.
good luck

|

Thank you very much for your comment. I will try to do that, but if it is not working I will do it in a separate procedure then make a call to that procedure instead.

First of all, your btn name and the Handles control name really should reference the same button in the second click handler you have shown above.
Second, if you need to run a common set of code from two or more control event handlers, you should move the code out of the control event handler and into a separate procedure. In the long run this will make your code much clearer and more maintainable. Calling control events from other control events is not a particularly good practice in terms of design.
I would rewrite the above code as:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub btnEvalGuide_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEvalGuide.Click
' the code work here.
' ...
'Call common procedure here
DoMyCommonProc()
End Sub
Private Sub btnIntVuDmExp_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnIntVuDmExp.Click
' the code work here.
' ...
'Call common procedure here
DoMyCommonProc()
End Sub
Private Sub DoMyCommonProc()
'Put common code in this procedure and call from both click events
End Sub

i m trying to make a vcd cutter like software in vb.net. i m using a binery reader to split the files.if i split the file from begnige it's playes fine but if i try to split it from sommeware middle the the clip is not working.can any one help me in this
|
|
|
|
|
The clip is not working because the beginning of the file has information about Audio and Video codecs, compression ratios, bit rates, etc.
If the player cannot find this information at the beginning of the file, it won't be able to play it.
You'll need to research the format specifications for whatever format(s) you want to support so that you can properly format your output, or find a third-party library to handle this part of the proccess.

Hi,
I'm trying to do something very simple, however I seem to going rouund in circles!
1. I have an Array which is loaded from a file, I then load it into a DataTable, at the same time adding Column names.
2. I create a DataView from the Datatable.
3. I asign the DataView to a Datagrid using Datagrid.DataSource = DataView
4. Run, everything works fine.
The issue...
I want to change the size of the columns and hide some occasionally. I tried using DatagridTableStyles are per several submissions on the web, but it won't work.
Any ideas?
Is there a simple way of doing this?
|
|
|
|
|
Using DataGridTableStyles IS the simple way of doing it, and as it happens, the only way.

I want my application to send a request to search engine(Yahoo.com ,Excite,Altavista,msn) and the search engine should return the URLs of the top 10 sites that match the keywords I sent to the search engine.
I have found google.com contain an API for developers but the other search engines does not provide a similar API or web service.
Thanks in advance

my question is How can I get the top 10 sites that match my request from a search site other than Google
|
|
|
|
|
You'll have to either
1) Write the code for each search engine to parse up the resulting HTML and pull out the information you need.
2) Consult with the search engine to find out if there is some kind of developer interface for you to use. Like Googles...

I need to concatenate a one list of wav files with another list
I found a vb program on the net that uses th dos copy command by creating a batch file on the fly. this doesn't seem to work and although concatenates the files (the file size is bigger) when trying to play the wav file it only plays the first file
The filenames are of the following format:
file1 "hey <text of var length>.wav"
file2 "oh <text of var length>.wav"
I want to run a batch list as there are 108 files of each type. The varying length text is the same for the two files that need to be joined.
Cany anyone help?
