The main menu on my application has the minimize button available and it works good. Clicking on a button on the main menu opens up a second form. This form also has a minimize button available but when you click it it minimizes the form just above the windows task bar. Instead, I would like it to minimize itself and also the main menu form to the task bar. How can this be done?
|
|
|
|

I assume the first form is mdicontainer for the second form.
In second form's (mdichild) form_ClientSizeChanged-event:
If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then
Me.MdiParent.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
End If

hi all,
i need to know,when i'm coding using vb to open an autocad file how can i determine the version of the autocad that my application will be open by
thnx
|
|
|
|
|
Launching the acad drawing file itself?? You can't. It'll be opened by the version that is registered to open that particular version of the file.
You'd have to use some kind of Autocad automation library to control which version opens the file in question. I don't if this exists or not. This would be a question for AutoDesk I would think...
The only other possibility would be to buld a command line string that launches the Autocad.exe you want with the drawing file as a command line parameter. Something like:
C:\Program Files\AutoDesk\Autocad 12\AutoCad.exe "C:\some folder\folder\other folder\someDrawingFile.dwg"
All of the folders and filenames in this example are hypothetical and may not relfect actual file/folder names in the real world.

Changes you make to the database will not show up in the application unless the DataSet is refreshed. That means rerunning the query that filled the dataset in the first place.

Hello sir
thanks for your kind rep.
but sir i dont understand what you are trying to say so can you please tell me how to refresh data set
waiting for your kind rep.
have a nice day
|
|
|
|

You have to do whatever you did to fill the dataset again. I have no idea what you did to get the initial data, so I can't explain it any further than this. Whatever you did to get the initial data is what you have to do again to refresh the dataset.

It's simple thing really. If you ran LoadImage in your code to setup the list before, you run it again to refresh that list and update the control.

We use spreadsheets with 40+ worksheets in the workbook. I have written a VBA macro to help navigate to specific worksheets. I read the names of all the sheets into an array, check each name for certain keywords, then load the name as a sub-menu of grouped menus.
The macro works fine with one exception, whenever a chart sheet is selected from the menu that chart is displayed but the custom menu disappears. Then if a non-chart worksheet is manually selected, then the custom menu reappears and works normally.
Thanks for any help.
A pertinent parts of the code which shows the same behavior is listed here:
' Macros by D. Simms
' with heavy reliance on Microsoft Excel 2000 Power Programming with VBA by John Walkenbach
' easier worksheet navigation in work books with a large number of worksheets
' arranges worksheets into groups with separate sheets in sub menus
' Auto_open and close macros are in the "ThisWorkbook" object code
Public SheetData() As String
Public ShtCount, ShtNumber As Integer ' these are all sheets visible and hidden
Public CurrentSheet As Object
Dim MenuSheet As Object 'Worksheet
Dim MenuObject As CommandBarPopup
Dim MenuItem As Object
Dim SubMenuItem As CommandBarButton
Dim Counter As Integer
Dim NumSheets As Integer 'this is the number of visible sheets
Sub IBWMenu()
' adds menu to navigate to one of the worksheets
' call get sheet list routine
Call FillWorksheetArray
' delete previous menu bar if it exists
Call DeleteIBWMenu
' add menu and submenus
Call AddIBWMenu
End Sub
Sub AddIBWMenu()
'Add IBW menubar just before help menu
Dim HelpMenu As CommandBarControl
' find Help menu
Set HelpMenu = CommandBars(1).FindControl(ID:=30010)
Set MenuObject = Application.CommandBars(1). _
Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, _
Before:=HelpMenu.Index, _
Temporary:=True)
MenuObject.Caption = "I&BW Worksheets" ' Name of menu; change to suit
'add menu categories
Set MenuItem = MenuObject.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
MenuItem.Caption = "&Tabs"
For Counter = 1 To NumSheets
If SheetData(Counter, 2) = "Tab" Then
Set SubMenuItem = MenuItem.Controls.Add
SubMenuItem.Caption = SheetData(Counter, 1)
SubMenuItem.OnAction = "SelectSheet"
End If
Next Counter
Set MenuItem = MenuObject.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
MenuItem.Caption = "&Charts"
For Counter = 1 To NumSheets
If SheetData(Counter, 2) = "Chart" Then
Set SubMenuItem = MenuItem.Controls.Add
SubMenuItem.Caption = SheetData(Counter, 1)
SubMenuItem.OnAction = "SelectSheet"
End If
Next Counter
Set MenuItem = MenuObject.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
MenuItem.Caption = "&Data"
For Counter = 1 To NumSheets
If SheetData(Counter, 2) = "Data" Then
Set SubMenuItem = MenuItem.Controls.Add

End If
Next Counter

I have a customer who wants an existing C application ported to VB, and I'm having a bit of trouble trying to find a way to read and write the same data files as the previous program used.
Existing struct example: (the actual structures are quite a bit more complex but I'm going for clarity here)
struct system_info
{
char name[32];
int number;
int more_numbers[DEFINED_LENGTH];
double even_more_numbers[OTHER_DEFINED_LENGTH];
unsigned char padding[103];
};
fread(&system_info, sizeof(system_info), 1, file);
I've found that there's no way to have fixed-length arrays inside a struct in VB (2005, if it matters), so I'm stumped as to how to load in fixed-length records with numerous arrays inside them.
On top of that, when I use variable length arrays the size of the structure is not correct (by which I mean it doesn't match what I expect).
Any ideas/suggestions?

First question: VB 6 or VB.NET? The answer will help determine how I look for a solution.

.Net - VB2005.
I've spent over an hour looking for some sort of solution already, and either Google has failed me or I have failed at using Google. I hope someone else has better luck, or better intuition.

(no <pre> here due to VB attribute syntax)
Maybe partial solution: (from http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=95319)
structure system_info
<VBFixedString(32)> dim name as char
dim number as integer
<VBFixedArray(DEFINED_LENGTH)> dim more_numbers as integer
'... etc
end structure
FileOpen (1,filename, OpenMode.Binary)
FileGet(1,system_info)
Still got a bunch of stuff to apply this attribute tag to before I can see if it works though...

Private Structure OPENFILENAME
Dim lStructSize As Integer
Dim Arr(len(msString)) as string
Dim hwndOwner As Integer
Dim hInstance As Integer
Dim lpstrFilter As String
Dim lpstrCustomFilter As String
Dim nMaxCustFilter As Integer
Dim nFilterIndex As Integer
Dim lpstrFile As String
End Struct
you can use some type of Solution.you can use variable first then execute the query now.

You are asking for a complete application to be written for you.
The forums are for asking direct questions about a specific problem.
I doubt anyone will send you a complete Instant Messenger application.
Search the Internet for examples and write your own.

OK - sure. That will be $20k.
Do you want my Paypal details ?

Ok. Use windows controls suitable for the application, write code, and then hit Ctrl+Shift+B to Build Appication OR hit F5 to run it.

I have used the visual basic express edition 2008 to create an application. In order to run this application the user must have the .net 3.5 framework installed. I have created an deployed an application but it downloads the framework from microsoft. But the user may not have an internet connection and there for i wish to include the framework when creating the application setup.exe. Can anyone tell me how i would go about this? Any help is much appreciated.

You'll have to include the dotnetfx.exe setup on the distribution media (CD, DVD, what have you). Using the Express Editions, you don't have the options available to add the .NET Framework into the installation.
