My app supports a piece of hardware, so I've never bothered. But, I think it's a good idea, I really should be doing it, too.

Can I use the registry to solve this problem ?
If yes please tell me how?
I mean, if I save a value in a register and update it on time(ex. Hour,Minute),and when we reache to specific value the program will not be accessible.

You can, sure. You can store the date the program is first run, and every time you run the program, load that date, and check how many days ago it was.

I have a project, where I print my invoice with code like this:
<br />
With Printer<br />
.PaperSize = Papier: .ScaleMode = 6: .Orientation = Ausricht<br />
.CurrentY = RandOben<br />
.FontSize = 10<br />
If UCase(frmAdressverwaltung.txtNName.Text) = "BARVERKAUF" Then<br />
Zeile = ""<br />
For i = 1 To 6<br />
Printer.Print Zeile<br />
Next i<br />
Else<br />
If frmAdressverwaltung.optAnredeF.Value = True Then<br />
Zeile = "Frau"<br />
ElseIf frmAdressverwaltung.optAnredeH.Value = True Then<br />
Zeile = "Herr"<br />
ElseIf frmAdressverwaltung.optAnredeK.Value = True Then<br />
Zeile = ""<br />
ElseIf frmAdressverwaltung.optAnredeC.Value = True Then<br />
Zeile = "Firma"<br />
End If<br />
Zeile = Zeile & " " & frmAdressverwaltung.txtTitel.Text<br />
.CurrentX = Randlinks<br />
Printer.Print Zeile<br />
.FontBold = True<br />
.CurrentX = Randlinks<br />
Zeile = frmAdressverwaltung.txtNName.Text & " " & frmAdressverwaltung.txtVName.Text<br />
Printer.Print Zeile<br />
.FontBold = False<br />
Zeile = frmAdressverwaltung.txtStrasse.Text<br />
.CurrentX = Randlinks<br />
Printer.Print Zeile<br />
Printer.Print ""<br />
Zeile = frmAdressverwaltung.txtPLZ & " " & frmAdressverwaltung.txtOrt.Text<br />
.CurrentX = Randlinks<br />
Printer.Print Zeile<br />
Printer.Print ""<br />
End If<br />
The code goes over 100 lines in this way. - So I don't want to change the code. - Now I want to print also the logo and some text on tho the invoice
It is a bmp File with the logo & text & the rest ist transparency - I tried to this with the following code:
<br />
If GetSetting("VOPTNeu", "Firmendaten", "ReLogo") = "True" Then<br />
.PaintPicture LoadPicture(App.Path & "\rechnungslogo.bmp"), 2, 3, 130, 35<br />
.CurrentY = 52<br />
.CurrentX = Randlinks<br />
End If<br />
But this wan't work.
Please help - Hope you understand what I mean.
Yours faithfully

Hi Guys,

You'd have to owner draw stuff, I guess, then you can draw it any way you like.

Christian is right. You'd have to ownerdraw everything yourself. Applications cannot use one system theme and the system use another at the same time. You have to do all the drawing work yourself.

Hi Guys,
I hope everyone is well and filled with caffeine...I know i'm 
I've read in one of the posts here recently that it's not a good idea to keep the code that does not run the ui inside the form and usercontrol classes as it will run on the same thread as the ui and slow down the app. Which does make a lot of sence 
Not that it makes much difference but I have all my code in dll's and for processing purposes the forms only call dll functions, anything ui related is kept inside the form modules and usercontrol classes.
So
What's the syntax to start a new thread and run specific code on it?
Also
Do I need to keep track of the threads, if so how?
Finally, as far as canceling of currently running code is concerned
How do I handle threads, and cancel code running on them?

Correct, your business logic should be seperate from presentation logic.
Alex Feature wrote: as it will run on the same thread as the ui and slow down the app.
No, you can put code in the UI layer that runs in another thread, and moving code out to a middle tier won't change it being in the same thread.
Alex Feature wrote: What's the syntax to start a new thread and run specific code on it?
ThreadStart and Thread are the two classes you need.
Sounds to me like you need to google threading in VB.NET and read some articles.

You'd do better to set constraints on your data source so this can't ever happen.

I am still a little new to vb.net and I tried to print to the printer like I did in vb6 and it has changed I have done some research on this and found some tutorials but with no luck on what I am looking for. An ex. of the code would be like Printer.Print "Whatever" but when i go Printer.Print("Whatever") it gives me an error message. If someone could help me out with this I would really appreciate it. Thank You for you time.

Looks[^] to me like there are lots of tutorials.

I guess that's why no tutorials tell you to do this, it's changed from VB6.
I suggest following any of the tutorials I brought up with google, or asking a more specific question about the nature of what you want to print.

I want to drag Image and Image will follow cursor until we drop it.
Such as we drop it in Panel Area
(Like when you drag "Textbox" Control and Place to Designing Form in Visual Studio)
I do it and have problem with Mouse Position
I don't find Cursor Location when I over Panel Area
I use VB.NET 2005
|

The easiest way to do this is to draw the image yourself on the screen, no picture box. If you want to do drag and drop, impliment it as drag n drop ( that is, use the messages provided by the framework ), and set the cursor of the controls you can drag over, including the main window, to be one you create of the image in question.

hi i placed 2 richtextboxes and one button on a form
1st richtextbox named "result"
2nd richtextbox named "text1"
i want when i click on button,then it search the word "abcd" in text1.text, if found then write result.text in text1.text in second line("abcd" may be in any line)
so i coded on button :
If InStr(Text1.Text, "abcd") Then
text1.Text = text1.Text + InStr(text1.Text, "abcd") & Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(13) + result.Text
End If
but it gives error that
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in microsoft.visualbasic.dll
Additional information: Cast from string "abcd" to type 'Double' is not valid.

Are you sure that the error message comes from the code that you have shown? The only thing that seems relevant in the error message is the string "abcd", unless of course if you created your own InStr function.

I see. Yes, perhaps your strange code might produce that error, but I am not really sure how. Perhaps the compiler got confused by all your implicit conversions, and tried to convert everything to the number with the largest capacity, which is a double.
If you use a bit less implicit conversions, I'm quite sure that it might work better. The InStr function returns an integer, not a boolean and not a string. If you want to concatenate strings, either stick to the & operator, or make sure that what you are concatenating is really strings.

b { font-weight: normal; }
|
|
|
|
|
ok so can you tell the codes which will work?
|
|
|
|
|
I just explained some problems with your code. Can't you at least make an attempt to fix them before asking me to do the work for you?
