I wish it was that simple..
I need to put an easter egg in the opening form.
I have a "about" button there, and I have a timer control set to 5000, with a ME.Close() code in the timer_elapsed(..) function, but I don't know how to open the next form I want to be opened.

i wouldn't suggest putting th emain thread to sleep....
cause when u show the splash screen the user must have the opetion to click the splash screen to make it go away..so i suggest using a timer and then on click put unload form
for splash screen...are u able to add it yet?

I go the main form to close, using a timer, but I don't know how to make a different form open after the "splash" screen closes.

OK. Your main form is NOT your splash screen. What you do in your main form is this: (From memory...so there may be some mistakes...)
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim SplashScreen As New Form2
SplashScreen.Show()
End Sub
Now, Form2 is your splash screen. It has the timer on it and enables the 5 second countdown in it's Form_Activate or Form_Load event. When the timer expires, in it's event, just close the form:
Private Sub Form_Activate()
Timer1.Interval = 5000
Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Me.Close
End Sub
During the 5 second countdown, your Splash screen is able to respond to events just like any other form.

what i mean is when we save a piece of text we save it with the help of a record no. in a random access file....
put ... ... ... ...
somethig like that....
so when we retieve...
we can use that record number to retieve what was saved.,...
in case of rich edit box...were is the record number???

You always put it a the exact same place in the file, so that you know where it will be, and then you put something at the end of the rich text section to tell you where it stops, or you tell at the beginning of the section how long the section is so you can tell where it stops.

hi,
i have a question...If i open up a Random Access file in a vb form...witha file number..
lets say then i need to unload the form and go to another form...and use the same file number....
can i take the file number acquired while opening one form to another???
how can i do it??
OR
is it better to open and close file at every form??instead of keeping the file number???isn't that bad..keep opening and closing the same file in every file???
can u tell me which way is better??
tks for help...

If your want to pass the file number around, keeping the file open, you can pass it as a global variable in a .vb module or class file.
On the downside, what your doing isn't considered proper programming technique because it is no longer a modular design.
If your going to be doing file access from multiple modules (or forms), it's best to write up a set of public functions that handles file access for you. Oh yeah, it is NOT a bad thing to be opening and closing the same file all the time...
But, of course, it all depends on what your doing...

I want to know IP Addresses of all machines on a peer to
peer network. How can i do this ?
The network consists of Win 9x machines and there is no
DNS server.
|
|
|
|
|
There a couple of methods you could use to do this, but nothing easy...
First, you could ping a range of IP addresses to get a list of machines that respond, then you would have to port scan each of those responding addresses to figure out what kind of machine is at that address...
Second, you could write a client that you deploy to all of your machines that reports back to a central server and reports the address in use...
But why go through all that trouble when you could download a good IP/Port scanning tool to do that for you or...
If your network is using DHCP to assign addresses, look at the logs/database for the DHCP server to see what addresses have been handed out...

Hey!
I really would like to know if anyone had an idea on how to see who's logged on the domain.
I've thought of using a userlist from the ADSI and compare that to the logon/logoff events in the eventlog. But that isn't the smartest way..
So what i want to know, is there anyone out there who knows a relative simple method to see who's online or not?
All answers will be appreciated!!
Thanks in advance

You would have to check with each server in the domain, seperately , to get the list of users who have attachments to that box.
AD, nor any other directory service I know of, keeps track of who is logged on in the directory. For several reasons, there is no way to keep that kind of information accurate.
I think the closest your going to get to that kind of information, in the directory, is looking at the last known login time for each user.

Hello,
Can anybody plz tell me how do i retrieve URL from a Web Browser in VB.
i dont want only for Internet Explorer but it shuld be general and work for
every browser. Atleast tell me the API or the steps of how to start. Some
explainations would be nice.
Thanks
Angad

It's different for every web browser because they are architected differently. For IE, you can either host the WebBrowser control and use the LocationURL property. To do it from an outside process, you'll have to search the running Windows classes for the correct class, search it's child windows for the address bar, and read the text out of it (or get an instance of the IWebBrowser2 interface from the app, but this can be more difficult).
For Mozilla/Netscape, there's different ways. You could use the same approach from an outside application as I outlined above, but the Windows classes would be different for both the browser and the address bar. Same goes for Opera and the other browsers.
There is no single way of doing this for all browsers.

What are you trying to accomplish? Are you writing vb code in an .aspx file and need to get the current URL (server end programming)? Are you writing (client end) vb script in a web page? This might be a simple answer depending on what you're trying to do. Can you be more specific?

Hi All.
I have a ListView in VB.NET and I want to be able to execute a save command the will save the contents of my ListView to an XML file but I'm stuck on the first step...I can't figure out how to extract the contents of my ListView. I need to somehow cycle through the rows(items) and extract any existing data.
I figured out how to add, change and update the items and I'm almost certain that copying is similar but I'm new to programming and I just can't seem to see the relation.
Can anybody help?
Thanks
Brad

hi
i need to implement an e-commerce site,
i can do all the stuff of the invitation already (i hope...).
but, i want to use SSL to secure the data entered in the Invitaion Form (Credit card etc.)
i know i need to do something with the directory in IIS, but not shure.
i want to know what are the steps to secure ASP.NET form with SSL.
(any links to related site its great !)
Thanks,
Yair Cohen

You can generate an SSL certificate request in IIS by right-clicking on the web site you want to generate a request for in the IIS manager, selecting the "Directory Security" tab, and click the "Server Certificates". Follow the directions to generate a request. Then you submit this request to a certificate authority like VeriSign or Thawte (owned by VeriSign but cheaper with the same grades of encryption). After they sign your certificate (might take a couple days), go back into IIS. Click that button again and follow the directions to add your signed certificate.
This is how you would generate one that browsers will accept by default. If you need a test certificate, you can generate one yourself. See my (old) article at http://www.devhood.com/Tutorials/tutorial_details.aspx?tutorial_id=209[^]. Browsers without your CA installed (they come with default CAs installed most times) will prompt your users, so I wouldn't use this in a public production server.

thanks.
but this is what i do in IIS. ok.
do i need to do something in my ASP.NET code ?
or its automaticly ?
|
|
|
|
|
ASP.NET doesn't care (it's automatic) because the SSL handshaking is done before the HTTP connection is established, and any communication is both encrypted before being sent out and decrypted before being received by such things like ASP.NET. It still sees everything as it would had it been non-encrypted because, by the time ASP.NET gets it, it isn't encrypted anymore - just encrypted over the wire.

Is it possible? I need to create a standard form and then populate it with text from a database, putting the text into label controls. The rows in the database will vary so I can't pre-fab the form with X number of labels and then just set their caption property. The form will need to be created on the fly each time it is loaded.
As an alternative (and a very weak one at that) I can add labels for the max possible rows and then set the ones without captions to not be visible. If this is my only choice, is there a way to resize the form using VB?
