OK - then we're at the point we started at. If you have no idea what you tried, and if you deleted it, I don't see how you're seriously applying your self to solving your problems.

I only deleted all of my comments because i was getting comments mixed up with eachother. I really am applying myself but the goal is beyond my understanding. If you could just help me (the main reason i asked the question on "Post A Question") instead of hastling me i would be grateful.

"store the string you want to type, and just check every time the length of the text in the label, which will tell you at what index you need to add a character." I rarely use strings so what... i store the text i want to 'ghost write' as a string at the top is in "Dim 'the words i want to type' As String" Check every time the length... and what is an index... never used them before and what do i tell it to do exactly

How is it possible that you're second in a programming class ?
When you have an array, the index is the number you use to access an element. A string is an array of characters. the string class has substring and length methods. That should be all you need to know.

Must be too easy of a class. At least my class I teach, I give people a challenge and they can do it within the 2 hour laboratory window.

I REALLY think ALL of you need a life. To sit there thinking your helping some people. But, the truth is you just need some attention and fkn around with people that want just a tiny bit of help from any of you ADULTS. (which SHOULD know better, I am truly sorry you don't)Then talking like 'oooo, he just wants a little help but he doesn't care about learning the concept for once before using the code, so I'll just fk with him until he feels like throwing themself onto a kitchen knife. Then once he's dead, I'll giggle myself to sleep." You all need help. If only you could (on the FIRST reply) explain the concept , then we all wouldn't have a long as thread. Plus everyone would be happy and the first replier would feel good about helping some and I could go on with my day.

You know, the world and you are both best served by you flunking this project, and hopefully this class. You apparently want one of us ADULTS to do the work for you, as apparently other adults in your life have done. You know what?

Heh. And yet, you neither understood CG's answer, nor possess the ability or inclination to use Google to look up the meanings of the terms that flew by you. Heck, you couldn't even manage to explain to him what you didn't understand, or what went wrong when you tried to follow his advice, leading me to believe that you are either functionally illiterate, or were too lazy to even read the reply once you noticed there was no code already written for you.
CG tries to be polite, even to selfish ingrates, since he works for this site. I have no such obligation however, so here's the best answer you'll get here today:
- You don't know how to program.
- Unless your attitude changes, you'll never know how to program.
- If you've ever managed to pass a programming course, it was likely because the instructor couldn't stand the thought of seeing you re-take the class.
- Although I can't see or smell you, I have little doubt that you are ugly and smell bad.
Seriously though - by your own admission, you don't know what you're doing and have no interest in learning. Therefore, you have no business here. Goodbye.

It sounds to me like you are a frustrated kid that is too emotional to read the advice you are being given...
Perhaps this will help you to understand what Chris has been telling you...

It frustrates me when there's a lengthy thread establishing that someone is deliberately clueless and needs to be encouraged to try and do their own homework, and then someone else comes along and tries to post a solution. At least the solution you've posted won't do what he wants, and will probably confuse him more.

there is that, i agree and your right, i tend to post a solution before reading what everyone else has said, im gonna delete it anyway. I just threw it together as a concpet, knew he was struggling, didn't care if it was right or not, his fault if he expects us to do it for him.

And the worst part is, I might have tried to make a helpful suggestion, but after the "I have no interest in learning" part, I have no intention of doing so.
The solution you suggested is exactly what immediately popped into my head when I read his problem. I almost posted it, until curiosity got the better of me and I wondered why all the extra responses. I'm glad I read them.

Hi,
1. Why the cross-post? You expect better answers from VB.NET programmers? 
2. nice picture, now I (think I) know what it is you want.
3. you know you can turn a Form into a regular Control, so you can add it to another
Form? All it takes is setting TopLevel false. Maybe that solves all your requirements?

1. i never posted on any other forum than the vb one. i just thought i'd make a dedicated topic for this concept as the other one was for painting stuff.
2. thankyou.
3. yes ironic i was actually contemplating this move as i got your email. about to give that a go. But still, i don't know if it will help, maybe it will. we'll see

Sorry I got confused then, thought I had just seen this elsewhere, I guessed on the C# forum.

AFAIK it is intended for such use, but again I never did it: when Controls don't do what
I want, I usually tackle the problem with fewer of them (the "lightweight" approach),
avoiding the fight, rather than more of them and/or UserControls.

Here I am in a situation where three events should occur one after another provided that the
preceding event occured successfully.
For eg. When i click a button, the first event prints the first report and when the first
printing succeds ,it should print the second report.But sometimes, the first report printing
cannot be done because some printing error may occur.In that case,the program should stop there.
How can it be done?? I need a general idea only.
Could you guys help me out??
