Surely you can just get the click event of the treeview, record the id of the node clicked. Then when they click the next node check if the parent is the same as the one you recorded before then hey presto it's the child and then you can msgbox gallore

Hope that makes sense and fits the problem.

Hi all professional friends, anybody know how to code a "Combobox" in the some column of listview? I don't want to use with dataset. Because I need to add some item into combobox myself and let customer select the combobox item in the listview.

Dim oCom As New ComboBox
oCom.Visible = True

With ListView1
.Controls.Add(oCom)
End With

Worked for me!

I remember that in vb6 there was a way to get where a form close was called from (ie. clicked x, computer shut down etc.) Is there a way to get this in .net.

How on earth would you get the fact that the form had been shut down by the computer shutting down ?

A modal form has a DialogResult, which is some help, but not as much as you're hoping, I don't think.

The form QueryUnload has a variable called UnloadMode As Integer that could be used to tell you where the unload was called..check it out. It seems they removed this in .Net, bummerr.

You can do this by overriding the wndproc method and checking for WM_QUERYENDSESSION

Windows sends a message to all open applications on the event of a shutdown.

Yeah, I know that. But I read the question to be, how to tell how something WAS shut down, not how to tell that something is BEING shut down. So, a child dialog is closed, and the parent works out why.

I have started a project to do it. I am overriding WndProc and catching some of the messages. I am having trouble figuring out which ones though. I have this so far.

MyBase.WndProc(m)<br />
<br />
        Select Case m.Msg<br />
            Case Is = Win32.WindowsMessages.WM_QUERYENDSESSION<br />
                f = New UnloadModeEventArgs(ECloseMode.AppWindows, False)<br />
            Case Is = Win32.WindowsMessages.WM_SYSCOMMAND<br />
                If m.WParam.ToInt32 = Win32.WindowsMessages.SC_CLOSE Then<br />
                    f = New UnloadModeEventArgs(ECloseMode.FormControlMenu, False)<br />
                End If<br />
End Select

Change Directory using Run Method

Can someone please tell me how the run method can recognize a path with spaces? THis should be simple but I'm driving myself crazy trying to get this to work. Can someone please help?

in vbscript...

Option Explicit

InstallClearCaseClient

Function InstallClearCaseClient ()
Dim objApp
Set objApp = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objApp.Run cmd /K CD P:\Information Technology\Configuration Management\CC_Client_2275_install &setup.exe client_2275sitedefs.dat
Wscript.Quit

Set objApp = nothing
End Function '

Any command line path that has spaces in it must be enclosed in double quotes. Otherwise, the path will be translated into multiple arguments.

objApp.Run "cmd /K CD ""P:\Information Technology\Configuration Management\..."" whatever else you want on the commandline"

Hey Dave,
Thanks for your reply. I've tried putting quotes around this string every which way but Tuesday with no avail.
I removed the running the setup.exe and removed the parameter, client_2275sitedefs.dat.
Now I'm just trying to change to that directory.
Here is what I have:
objApp.Run "cmd /K CD ""P:\Information Technology\Configuration Management\CC_Client_2275_install"""
This doesn't work.

And the bigger question…. If I need to put quotes around my arg; will this method allow me pass multiple arguments.

Any advise?

Original script

Option Explicit

InstallClearCaseClient

Function InstallClearCaseClient ()
Dim objApp
Set objApp = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objApp.Run "cmd /K CD ""P:\Information Technology\Configuration Management\CC_Client_2275_install"""
'objApp.Run "cmd /K CD ""P:\Information Technology\Configuration Management\CC_Client_2275_install &setup.exe client_2275sitedefs.dat"""
Wscript.Quit

Set objApp = nothing
End Function

How are you checking the results of this? This will work just fine if there is a folder called CC_Client_2275_install under Configuration Management:

Set objApp = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
objApp.Run "cmd /K CD ""P:\Information Technology\Configuration Management\CC_Client_2275_install"""

This will launch a second command shell window with the current directory set to P:\Information Technology\Configuration Management\CC_Client_2275_install. That's IF this path really exists. Do you get an error in this 2nd command window?
Now, if you wanted to run a command in that directory, your run command would have to look like this:

Set objApp = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
objApp.Run "cmd /K CD ""P:\Information Technology\Configuration Management\CC_Client_2275_install"" & setup client_2275sitedefs.dat"

This will generate a command line for the 2nd command window that looks like this:

CD "P:\Information Technology\Configuration Management\CC_Client_2275_install" & setup client_2275sitedefs.dat

User Control

Hi,

I have built a user control in vb.net. The output has been generated in the form of a .dll file.

Whenever i use the .dll file in a form it works fine but as soon as i open an .htm page the control is disabled in the toolbox. The control works very fine in form but i am not able to use it in an html page using the <object> tag.

I want to customize its font face, size, bold and italics everything which the form allows me to do but i dont know how to do it via the <object> tag in a web page.

Kindly help me.

A user control in a web page needs to be derived from the webcontrol base class, not the forms control base class. It needs to output HTML, not draw itself in a window. Unless there's some way to build an activeX control in VB.NET/C# ? Either way, it's obvious that the control you have built is for forms only, otherwise it would allow you to use it in a web page.
