What do you mean by top?
if you want to shift the tab control to any other control then use Controlname.focus()
also, you can use tab index property

For many years I have deployed my visual basic projects from my development computer to my production ones by copying the project's directory to the production computer. I then pin the project\bin\***.exe to the start menu. Works fine. Simple and quick. I can continue to debug on the production computer by running the project in DbgCLR.exe.
I have now converted all to 2005.
Confusion has arisen. I still have project\bin\****.exe; but now I've also got project\obj\debug\***.exe and project\obj\Release\***.exe.
What the new ones for?
Why does the debug .exe seem lag behind?
Which is the proper one to run in production mode?
I've Googled it. Not much to find.
Thanks

Those are the Debug and Release build folders. In Debug, the code optimizations are turned off and a bunch of other debug information is output from the build process. In Release, the code optimizations are turned on and the outputs are stripped of all debugging information.

|

Sounds like I should deploy by copying the Release\***.exe to another computer. Is this true?
What is the purpose of the bin\***.exe file?
Thanks

You can copy it or you can add a Setup and Deployment project to your solution and create a installer for it.
the \bin folder was were both the Debug AND Release builds ended up in previous versions of Visual Studio. The latest build overwrote the previous, no matter what the configuration. Now, with a folder for each build configuration, you can maintain various versions without overwriting the last build.

Seems to work.
Thanks for the help.

To do so you need to add new project of type "set up & deployment" in the current project. Then add all the output files to output directory then build it. Here the name of the folder can be specified that in which folder you want to save your exe and dependent fils?
By default it is Debug folder. You can use any of you mentioned. it doesn't matter.

I get an odd error when trying to connect to a SQL 2005 database. When I try to preview it, it comes up and says, "MaxLength applies to string data type only. You cannot set Column 'Project' property MaxLength to be a non-negative number." I don't even know what MaxLength is... and therefore assume it is nowhere in my code. Is there something I am missing?
Perhaps I am posting this in the wrong forum. A timely answer is preferred.
Thanks!

Is there is any way to freeze the column of listview?
Thanks in advance.

Nope. It's not supported by the default control. You'd have to implement your own version of the control for that. Or, use a DataGridView, which already supports freezing columns.

I am trying to create a shortcut to the user's desktop when I install the application on the user's machine. During the deployment process under the FileSystem(Setup1) tab, it gives me the option to create a shortcut on the user's desktop. When I right click on User's Desktop and choose Create Shortcut to User's Desktop, it will create a shortcut but when I try to open the shortcut from the desktop it opens up the Desktop folder instead of the actual program. Any ideas?

It did exactly what you told it to do. It created a shortcut to the user's Desktop folder.
jds1207 wrote: I am trying to create a shortcut to the user's desktop
That's also what your explanation said you wanted. Or did you mean to say something else?
How about creating a shortcut to the Primary output from your project IN the User's Desktop folder? All you have to do is click on the User's Desktop folder in the left pane, then right-click in the right pane and pick Create New Shortcut. Then you open the File System on Target Machine, then the Application Folder. You can then pick the Primary output to create the shortcut to.

I simply copied over (in code) the start menu icon that ClickOnce (thanks Microsoft...) created. Just ask if you want help doing that.

I am just getting started with VBA for Excel and don't knwo the code to get to do the following:
1. Saving a Workbook I am creating with the following format ddmmmyyyy & _Weekly_Forecast.xls in a folder named "Weekly Reports" right under the folder where the master workbook is. The file being saved is generated from a copy/paste of two sheets of the master workbook that is found in the current directory.
2. How to change directory without the need of typing the entire path. Does anything like "~" exist? The problem being I don't want to force users to save the workbook on a given location. As long as they have the workbook in the Weekly Forecasts folder I am providing them with it should not matter where they place it. Doon't want the coding to depend on that.

I don't have an answer, but you may get one on a different site. Try Access-Programmers. Of course, they deal with Access issues, but they also write in VBA.
Just a thought.

Ok, basically it goes something like this, I have written a key logger of sorts for my application. What it does is to trap the F1-F12 keys, when they are pressed it raises an event letting me know which one was pressed. I need to be able to call the appropriate sub in whatever form or dialog is currently running in my application.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help guys.

Form.ActiveForm will return the form with the focus in your app.

This doesn't seem to be working...It keeps returning nothing from form.activeform...here is a link that shows the debug i was doing:

How about Me.ActiveForm. Of course, that will only work if the code is in a form class. It won't work outside of a form.
|
|
|
|

It is under a modual with my Sub Main. The only way I could make it work so far is to use
Private Sub mKeyLogger_KeyPressed(ByVal theKey As System.Windows.Forms.Keys, ByVal isDown As Boolean) Handles mKeyLogger.KeyPressed
If isDown Then
Dim f As Form = mFrmMain.ActiveMdiChild
If Not f Is Nothing Then
If TypeOf f Is IHandlesDirectInput Then
DirectCast(f, IHandlesDirectInput).HandleInput(theKey, isDown)
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
The problem with this is that it limits me to only MDI childre, and not a dialog that could be showing...I need the top level form or dialog at the time the key is pressed so that I can dispatch the key directly to that form or dialog and let it handle it.

Well, it's definately not working as advertised. I never use it, so all I have to go on is the documentation.
Hmmm... Well. Quick and drity, it's possible to set a Shared variable from the Form.Activate event of each form you want to handle.
