Great! Why make another round trip if you already have the data. All you have to do if Filter the datatable by the DiseaseCode and you should get a single row returned.

SelectedValue will get fired once after the combo is bound to the data. If you have a MsgBox in each combobox's SelectedValueChanged event, this is why you're getting 4 Message Boxs.
No, there is no "better method" of doing this.

Right now I only have the MsgBox in the one Sub but it calls it multiple times. I have something I will try when I get into work tomorrow and see if this works.
I have also been reading some various posts on CP and I have noticed that you are one of the most active posters. I have also seen some of your posts to people in answer to some crazy questions. Your patience is pretty good. Did you ever find out what the hell >.< means? It looks like a set of mouse whiskers.
Thanks again,
Dan

After doing this for 4 years, you can really tell the difference between the newbies who want their hjomework done for them and the people who actually have a question!

Hi all,
How to get serial number of monitor?
I think that's difficult, because in our system environment variables, serial number of monitor is not record.
If you have any ideas, please tell me.
Thank you
|

The only reliable way to get the serial number of the monitor is to turn it around and look at the tag with your Mark 1 Eye Ball.
It can be done in code, but not reliably. There is nothing in the EDID spec that says the manufacturer of a monitor has to supply the serial number in the data the monitor sends to the machine.
Here[^] is the code sample to do it. Be sure to read the code comments for why this will not work 100% of the time.

Hi All,
I'm developing an on-screen keyboard using VB.NET and need some advice. Currently, I'm using a few User32 API calls to GetActiveWindow() and SetActiveWindow(). Right now, I've got the active window handle number and using it as follows: SetActiveWindow(8975651603260375040), which seems to work... kind of. The desired window receives the focus but as the user types, the window receiving the focus flickers as my keyboard application sets focus to it just before it sends the keystroke to that window.
The keystroke is indeed sent to that window, but as suggested by another Code Project member, I would like for my keyboard to always keep the focus and then use SendMessage or SendInput to send the key strokes to the desired window that the user had previous selected before they began typing.
I've googled SendMessage, SendInput, etc, and not found many examples that illustrate window focus and how SendMessage actually works in the context of a virtual keyboard.
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thank! -Patrick

i want to make a cell of a datagrid as a button...
i am using .NewRow predefined function to add a new row.. i am not using any data adapter neither data set... i am adding new row straight to the datagrid...
what should i need to do...
please help me...
i am using vb.net 2002.
if ever, much better if you can give me sample codes. thanks!

Depending on where the new row is added, you can use a RowDoubleClick or Click event to process the data in that field. For example, if the row is added to the end of the data grid, you can use a collection of the rows and access the last element of the collection array directly.
Then, you could systematically go through the cells you want to extract the data out of by passing the column name to one of the functions provided by the data grid class (something like SelectedIndex() or Index() and then you pass the name of the column).
Hope this helps.

I'm creating a control and don't want it to be resizable. Most people say to hide it from the designer and throw an error when it's called, but I can't do that because the Size property isn't overrideable! Right now I set the size back the the default height and width in the resize event, but this may be confusing to the user as it looks resizable.
Thanks,
Nick

Thanks! I ran the example code there through a translator and found out you use the shadows keyword.

You can easily fix a controls size by overriding SetBoundsCore. It looks like this.
Protected Overrides Sub SetBoundsCore(ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer, ByVal width As Integer, ByVal height As Integer, ByVal specified As System.Windows.Forms.BoundsSpecified)
Const fixedWidth As Integer = 50
Const fixedHeight As Integer = 50
MyBase.SetBoundsCore(x, y, fixedWidth, fixedHeight, specified)
End Sub
I know changing the size back in the resize event will also work, but doing it that way actually allows the control's size to be changed and then it quickly changes it back. Overriding SetBoundsCore will prevent the change from ever occurring.

hi All

Then check the Text property on the text box. If it is an empty string String.Empty then put null (DBNull.Value) in your column, otherwise put the value of the Text property in.

Thanks Colin

If textbox.text = nothing then
field = "Null"
End If
Just make sure you replace textbox and field.
You also might want to use textbox.text.trim to remove any whitespace on the ends of the text to help 'idiotproof' it.

Hi when i run my code it tells me "Cant Store Null in Extension Field" , but my table does Accept Null in that Field.
Here is the code in my save Button for Field Extension.
Dim newRow As DataRow = DataSet11._PROPERTY.NewRow<br />
'newRow("Num_key") = CStr(txtnumkey.Text)<br />
If txtextension.Text.Empty.Trim = Nothing Then<br />
newRow("Extension") = "Null"<br />
Else<br />
newRow("Extension") = txtextension.Text<br />
End If<br />

Here's a problem:
If txtextension.Text.Empty.Trim = Nothing Then
You don't want txtExtension.Text.Empty. That returns nothing itself, so the condition will always be true. You just need txtextension.Text.Trim, which returns the textbox's text with now whitespace at the ends.

i have remove the Empty keyword. and when i try to save in the dataset,
it Gives me this Error
<br />
unable to Add the Record<br />
System.FormatException:Input string was not a Correct Format.<br />
at System.Number.Parse(string s,NumberStyles style,NumberFormatifno info)<br />
at system.int32.Parse(string s,NumberStype style,IFormatProvider provider)<br />
at System.String.system.IConvertible.Toint32(IFormatProvider Provider)<br />

at System.Data.Common.Int32Storage.Set(int32 record,Object Value)<br />
at System.DataCoulmn.set_Item(int32 record,Object Value) couldnt store<Null> in Extension Column. Expected type int32<br /> .
Please Sir Remember that my Field is numeric and it Allow Null, and in my Field there is a Default that i bind to the Table for Null Values if there is none and the table Defination is Nullable.
Thanks

The table is numeric. While it may allow a null value, it doesn't allow "null" as a string, which is what I was telling you to do. Instead of using
If txtextension.Text.Empty.Trim = Nothing Then<br />
newRow("Extension") = "Null"<br />
Else
you can set the row to something like -1, 0, nothing, or another default value you choose. You can also set it to dbnull.value
