Microsoft have a free dll for doing this in XP, on the MSDN site ( from memory ). Beyond that, all methods of doing this cross platform involve SDKs that are quite expensive, AFAIK.

will this dll work on win98?
|
|
|
|
|
No, I don't even know if it supported VB, but I do recall it was a solution for XP only.

hehehe, still fine but still insatiably curious in trying to do a lot of crazy stuff with Visual Studio.. Nah, you are doing great in helping amateurs like me... hehe, I wish I can be like you, offering good advises and helps like that.. must be great to know a lot of stuffs..
Anyway, to my program, if I make my program with that dll file using visual studio 2003, will my program work in a system with win98? dang, I took a look at microsoft website, can't find that msdn part...I must really be bad...

Here[^] is the link. No, it won't work with 98, it uses the functionality built into XP, you see...

hmm, then this may not be for me.. I am trying to make some Data backup to cd program and sadly, it will need to be able to work on both win98 and winxp... hmm, any other ideas... I think in the old VB6, they can make a link or something to use the cd writer and all... am I rite?
|
|
|
|
|
I have no idea, I've never used VB6 much ( I don't use VB.NET either, as it happens ).

I have a form (form1) with a datagrid and i want that: when i press F8 the data in the selected row go to some textboxs in another form (form2). The data is in a dataset.
the keypressed works fine and i know which row is select but i can't put the data in the other form. i used one way to make the data to go to the form2, i make the controls of the form2 shared but i think that this isn't the better way.
So i need some help. If you have one example that can help me, it would be good.
Sorry if the english isn't the better.

Have the constructor of the second dialog take a DataRow, and pass the row in from your dataset.

Do you have some example how can i make that?
One more thing, i want that when the key is pressed the form2 close and the data go to the textboxs in form1 at the same time, without do anything more.
Thanks for the help.

// Constructor that takes a DataRow
public MyNewClass(System.Data.DataRow dr)
{
// Read the data out of the row to populate your internal variables here.
}
// Don't let anyone use the default constructor
private MyNewClass(){};

If Form2 is modal, then just check the DialogResult ( if there is a Cancel button ) and then act on it like this:
In Form2:
OnClose
{
this.MylocalVar = this.MyLocalTextBox.Text; // Because the textbox will be destroyed
}
In Form1
Form2 dlg = new Form2();
if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
this.TheTextBox.Text = dlg.MylocalVar;
}
Of course, it should be exposed as a get only property, and set as an internal variable that the property returns.

I need to figure out how to write code to swap the contents between 2 textboxes by way of a button. Also, I need to learn how to clear the contents of both TextBoxes by clicking the form.
I appreciate your help.

string s = TextBox1.Text
TextBox1.Text = TextBox2.Text
TextBox2.Text = s
TextBox1.Text = Textbox2.Text = ""

I am pasting your reply here and responding to it. Please respond to the board. It may help someone else to read this.
I am learning VB.Net and doing it all on my own so that I can better
understand it from a financial standpoint.
Bare with me because I am learning and not a pro, not even close to an
amateur!!!! :)
I put the code into the Private Sub Form1_Load that you posted on the
board and
Dim String as Text
But something still isnt right........
Am I missing something? Sorry for being an idiot!!!
The code I gave you was meant to provide a template, sorry that I assumed that was obvious.
First of all, to add a button, just drag it onto the form in the design view. I believe double clicking it will add a method that is called when it is clicked, otherwise the properties window has a lightning type icon, that shows you possible events, you can type a name into the 'Clicked' event to define one.
Now, your two text boxes have names. You can change them in the properties box as well ( right click on the textbox and choose properties, although if the window is visible, just clicking will do ). A TextBox has a Text property, so TextBox1.Text assumes one of your text boxes is called TextBox1. I believe that in VB.NET, Dim s as string is the right code to create a temporary string variable ( not string s ), so if you substitute the names of your textboxes,
Dim s as string
s = Textbox1.Text
Textbox1.Text = Textbox2.Text
Textbox2.Text =s
should swap the strings. And if you create a button/event handler for the 'clear' operation,
Textbox1.Text = Textbox2.Text = ""
will clear the text boxes. What's happening here is that all the other values get changed to the last one. You can put it on two lines if you find that clearer:
Textbox1.Text = ""
Textbox2.Text = ""
I hope that helps....

Ok I have got it working.......
I was missing a few main points, one being the click event for the Form1.
In order to clear both textboxes, you will need to go to the form, Base Class Events, then Click and write code as follows:
Textbox1.text = " "
Textbox2.text = " "
this clears the textboxes by clicking the form itself.
Thanks again Christian Graus
