Hi,
I have tabcontrol with 5 pages. On some action I want to bring page 3 to the front..
thanks
|
|
|
|

Forgive any syntax errors in this, I'm doing it from memory, but something like:
myTabControl.SelectedTab = myTabControl.TabPages(2);
[Edit]
changed indexing from [] to (). Forgot I was in the VB forum. 
Anyway Lucs' solution, below, is better more concise.

Yup.
I don't use the TabControl often, and had forgotten that, If I ever knew it!

I have a DVD with 15,000 word documents (transcribed op reports from doctors).
I need to organize them by date modified into folders, year first, then a month subdirectory.
The filenames have a date string in them after a patient name.
i.e.: smith john -20060415.doc
I'm wondering if it would be easier to use the fileinfo feature to pull the modified date, and then utilize that to make a folder for the month, then drop that in a folder.
I dont have any code yet, I'm in more of a brainstorming mode, but we will have to do this for a few hundred other accounts we have and need to have a working solution for this issue.
Excuse the pseudo-code, but here's my general idea.
I'd just like some guidance as to what commands I should use in this situation
-scan dir for files *.doc
-for loop
-get modified date of file
-does month folder exist
y=copy file
n=create folder
-copy file
next
Am I on the right track?
Thanks for any response, even if its "you're in the wrong forum" =)

The logic is pretty basic, but works. But, I'd do some sanity checking first. If you have the date information in the filename, Id start by parsing that out and comparing it to the Modified date on the file. If the two aren't within some arbitrary limit, I'd set the file aside for further review of where it should go, otherwise, I'd follow the logic you already have.

Thanks! Now to get it out before friday...

You're on the right track; you just need to expand on your pseudocode. Perhaps something like this:
-scan for *.doc files
-for each doc file
--get modified data
--create full path from concatenated data
--does directory exist?
---no: create it
--move file to directory
-end for each
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act

are you sure you want to categorize by date? That would make retrieval difficult if all you know is patient name or patient number.
How about dividing the lot you have now in folders according to say the first two or three characters of the current filename (so "smith john -20060415.doc" would end up in "sm" or "smi"). That would potentially lead to a few hundred or thousand folders. These folders would vary in the number of files they contain much more than your scheme, however this scheme would keep patient information for a single patient in a single folder, which any date based scheme does not.

Yes, it needs to be by date. The center that is requesting the archive DVD uses our software to pull the files from our SQL DB. The program they use has a listing of job numbers, and of the files, and other information, but we do not allow them remote access to them as they are from 2003-2006, and our cutoff is 01-01-2007.
They will be able to search the disk for the files using windows search, and we have yet to come up with a standard naming convention, so our office manager (not too tech savy) wants them in folders by year, 2003; 2004; 2005...etc and then by month.
So I'm just going with what he wants, but moving and creating folders for 15000 files is too time consuming, so I just need an app to do it for me.
between u, me, and the fencepost, I dont care how they use the disk, I just need to job done. lol.
I appreciate everyone's input. I'll be working on this tonight to get it out in tomorrow's End of Day, so stay tuned as I might need help with the code. ty all!

There is no "event" as you call it. AFAIK, there's not even a callback. I think you would have to enumerate the windows in the taskbar, keep a list of them, then enumerate them again every so often to see if the list changes. When the list changes, the know an app has been launched or has quit. The problem with this is that an app can run and end inside of the time you have for a polling interval. You'd never know an app was launched.

Thanky for your advise but what about messages?
when i use spy++ i get a lot of messages such as tb_cout(something like that)
how an i get them?

Probably by implementing either a GetMsgProc[^] hook or a JournalRecordProc[^] hook. Neither of which can be implemented in managed code (VB.NET or C#).

Hi,
using one or more external web sites is the only way I really trust for this to work reliably.
Have a look here[^].

The only way it works reliably is if you use a website external to your network.
