Are you trying to get a reference to a control in your own app, or is this trying to get to a control in another application? BTW, GetObject is useless in both situations.

I am trying to get reference to a control from my own app. If GetObject won't work what else I can do?
Thanks in advance

is this vb6? if so and assuming your asking for this within the same project, the only way to associate a string to an object is go through the collections.
first start with the forms collection then go through the control collection
dim oFrm as Form,oCtrl as control
For each oFrm in Forms
If oFrm.Name = "mnuMain" Then
For each oCtrl In oFrm.controls
If oCtrl.Name = "mnuExit" Then
oCtrl.enabled=true
oCtrl.visible = true
Exit For
End If
Next
Exit For
End if
Next

Thanks for the reply. I am using VB.NET 2005
I have a control called mnuExit in MenuStrip1 in FrmMain. When I try to iterate through the controls collection in FrmMain I only get reference to MenuStrip1 and not to the control mnuExit. However, when I work with the form in IDE I get reference to FrmMain.mnuExit. Is there a way to get reference to FrmMain.mnuExit through direct iteration?
Thanks in advance

You have to enumerate the children of controls too, nut just the controls in the Form's Controls collection.
This would probably be best done with a recursive solution. If a control has children, the function calls itself with the current control.

I'll try that.
Thanks for your time

For the 'F5' part...turn on keypreview of the form and trap it in the keydown event of the form and if 'F5' then ignore the key.
Not sure about the mouse...

You can Google for "error enumerating data servers"[^] (with the quote marks!) to start trouble shooting the problem. There's a bunch of possible causes, dependant on the database server you're trying to use and what's installed on your machine.

Am redesigning the application that was written by other programmer who left the company.there is no documentation. am just looking at his and redisigning the application. the application has datagrid, i have change from Ms Access to Microsoft sql, when i run my new application checking on the datagrid result, this is what i get.
"Subscript out of range" and mark this Column yellow"
datagrid1.Columns(3).Width = 1820.
what would be the cause ?
and what should i have in mind while editing the datasource from access to Sql?

You are trying to access a column that doesn't exist. The data source returns less than four columns.

how many columns you have, i think you have only three columns then the subscript for last column is 2. just change 3 to 2 and it will work fine.

Actually i want read a line from 1st text file and search this line in the second text file( which had the string as in 1st txt file and equivalent localized string) and then copy this localized string from 2nd text file and replace with the 1st one.
Thanks in advance!

I repeat - to do this, you need to read the second file into memory, then you can replace parts of it in memory, and overwrite the old file with the new one.

Use the KeyChar property of the event argument object that is sent to the event.

I strongly urge you to turn off your computer, go to a bookstore, buy a book on VB.NET, a beginner book that teaches you to code, and not just to play with the shiny wizards. Read it.
You have not taken the advice you were given. The text changed event doesn't just recieve an EventArgs object, it recieves a derived object called somthing like a TextEventArgs, which has a property called KeyChar. You're trying to pull a mythical property out of thin air instead of doing waht you were told.

The event object in your handler is called "e". You have to do something like this:
If e.KeyCode = Keys.whatever ...
You also cannot do this in the TextChanged event of the TextBox. It doesn't give you th ekey that was hit. You have to use the KeyDown event.

His e is also still an eventargs object, not a derived one.

The TextChanged event isn't used to handle a key press, so you can not use it to cancel a key. When the TextChanged event is executed, the contents of the text box has already changed.
Use the KeyPress event to handle key presses.
KeyChar is not a global variable, it's a property of the KeyPressEventArgs object. Also, it's not an ASCII code, it's a char.
You would do better to look up the documentation about what you are doing, instead of just guessing.
