Tooltip overlaying Treeview entries

14-Oct-05 12:13

Dim myRNG As New Random()
Dim newNumber As Integer = myRNG.Next(lowerBound, upperBound)

But I vaguely remember telling you this already.

Tooltip on a treenode is overlaying Treeview enties behind tooltip. The tooltip leaves behind a white shadow that overlays only the Treeview data behind it. It looks like the tooltip erases the pixels behind were it came up but only in the treeview. I searched MSDN and still am at a loss. Any help is appreciated. I use the refresh function to fix the treeview but I was curious what what causing it.

Question on VB

Is that any function can tokenize a string just like what C++ can do.

Thanks,
David

There is the String.Split() function that will split a string into an array based upon a separator character.

You have to remember that VB.NET and C# both use the .NET Framework - it is the .NET framework that provides this sort of functionality. Therefore, when it comes to the classes and methods that are available if C# can do something then so can VB.NET.

Joining a PC to Domain with user prompt and password

Does anyone have a script that can prompt you for a user name and password to join a computer name to a domain? Thanks

Did you lookup the documentation on the JoinDomainOrWorkgroup[^] method? It can take optional parameters for username and password.

The sample I pointed you at already demonstrated this. Or are you asking how you would prompt for the username and password?

Yes,
That script was good, but I wanted to allow for any IT member with the appropriate permissions to add a computer name to the domain. So a username and password prompt would be great!

retriving MAC address programatically

14-Oct-05 6:04

Either code your script to parse command line arguments[^] or use an InputBox[^]. Be warned(!) Anything you type for a command line argument or into an InputBox appears as clear text! There is no PasswordInputBox for VBScript without using a 3rd party component that must be installed.

Another method would be to have the script create it's own web page and accept input using HTML controls, which DOES have a password input box.

Where can I find the control where I can input an IP address like the ones that can be found when you are configuring network connection in windows? I really need to know, thanx Smile | :)

There is no standard IP Address control in .NET.
However, there is a nice control just like it on this website. You can find it at...

It doesn't have to be in .NET because I'm using VB6 only.

Based on the link that you replied to me, I got the idea how the creator create the IP Address control box. Thanx Smile | :)

hi guys !!
need help from u guys..
my company have a big Local area network..
i m developing an application which ping all the IP's and cahck that they are working or not .
i also want to retrive the MAC address of those IP's. is there ant way to retrive the MAC address programatically by specifying the IP address

abhinav

Dave Kreskowiak14-Oct-05 4:28

I could be wrong here, but I don't think you can do that. If you try to get the MAC address of a machine on the other side of a router, using just it's IP address, you will be getting the MAC address of the near-side NIC on the router, not the destination PC.

Actually, it's easier than I thought. Win32 has a built in function for doing just what you want, called SendArp. You can find a C# example here[^].

For example

Dim myText As String = _
   "ID" + ControlChars.Tab + ": " + myID + _
   "Name" + ControlChars.Tab + ": " + myName + _
   "Class" + ControlChars.Tab + ": " + myClassID

want to convert one file to another file through vbscript. how can I?

Dave Kreskowiak14-Oct-05 4:11

14-Oct-05 4:11

What file format to what file format? BE SPECIFIC. So far, you've asked 2 very generic questions, that don't have anything to do with each other AFAICT, without providing any details. Without the details, it's impossible to give you any kind of useful information.
