I've been using VB.Net since its release, and I only now learn that there is a Like operator. The things I learn here.
Added: Looking for more info, I find that Like has been around since at least VB6. Crimeny, this would have been useful to know!

Hello,
I need your help.
I would like to handle two Excel books with VB.net.
Here is a part of my code:
Dim ExcelApp As Object
Dim ExcelBook As Object
Dim ExcelSheet As Object
ExcelApp = New Excel.Application
ExcelApp.Visible = True
ExcelBook = ExcelApp.Workbooks.Open(Folder & "List2")
ExcelBook = ExcelApp.Workbooks.Open(Folder & "List1")
ExcelApp.Workbooks("List1.xlsx").Activate
'Add data to cells of the first workbook
ExcelSheet = ExcelBook.Worksheets(1)
ExcelSheet.Range("A1").Value = "Book 1"
ExcelSheet.Range("B1").Value = "First Name"
ExcelSheet.Range("A1:B1").Font.Bold = True
ExcelSheet.Range("A2").Value = "Max"
ExcelSheet.Range("B2").Value = "Paul"
ExcelApp.Workbooks("List2.xlsx").Activate ' doe not work
'Add data to cells of the second workbook
ExcelSheet = ExcelBook.Worksheets(1)
ExcelSheet.Range("A1").Value = "Book 2"
ExcelSheet.Range("B1").Value = "First Name"
ExcelSheet.Range("A1:B1").Font.Bold = True
ExcelSheet.Range("A2").Value = "Egon"
ExcelSheet.Range("B2").Value = "Franz"
How can I set "List2.xlsx" active to read and write in List2.xlsx and switch back to "List1.xlsx"
The code to activate List2 does not work.
Thanks in advance

I don't do Office Interop, so this may seem like a stupid question.
Why do you even need to call .Activate? All you're doing is setting cell values. You don't have to have the sheet as the "active" sheet to do that. Activate does not turn a sheet from "ReadOnly" to "ReadWrite". All it does is make it the currently viewed sheet, just like you clicked its tab at the bottom of the Excel window.
If you're trying to show a specific sheet to the user, then try following up the call to Workbook.Activate with a Worksheet.Activate that's in that workbook.

What I will do is to open two or more Excel files with VB.net.
After that I will start to search an value in the first Excel sheet.
If I don't find the value I start the seach again in the next sheet.
The question for me is, how can I chance to different workbooks in the Excel application with VB.net via Office Interop.
Do you have a pice sample code how I can do that.

If you're asking how you can CHANGE to a different workbook, you already did it in your code. There's a Workbooks collection in the Excel object. In each Workbook object, there is a Worksheets collection.

I already said I don't do Office Interop. I'm going entirely on the documentation for the Excel object model.

How can i change background color of msgbox using vb dot net or vb6. i do not want to use form for this purpose.
|
|
|
|
|
You can't. You have to build a custom form for this.
|
|
|
|
|
but it changes when we change theam in windows xp
|
|
|
|
|
Yes theam Change it. And Theam change all the color style of all over windows.Not only for your application.
so if you want to change Messagebox Color you should to create your custom Form (Messagebox).If you can think then I Can.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, because the MessageBox is rendered by the system and uses the system's theme.

Hi,
I am using VB.NET1.1 and office 2003. I have created a object of Word document, opening it, writing some data into the document Printing it and finally closing the document. However it is throwing this exception while closing the document.
<b>exception from hresult 0x800A140C</b> Here is the code piece:
If (IsNothing(appWord) = True) Then
appWord = ModWord.GetWordApplication
End If
docProposal = ModWord.GetDocument(appWord, lstrFileName)
lstrFileName = docProposal.FullName
lstrFile = docProposal.Name
If (docProposal.MailMerge.Fields.Count > 0) Then
For Each bk As Word.MailMergeField In docProposal.MailMerge.Fields
bk.Locked = True
Next
' Create a data source containing the field data.
docProposal.MailMerge.CreateDataSource(Name:=lstrDataFile, HeaderRecord:="1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37")
' Open the file to insert data.
'docProposalData = appWord.Documents.Add(lstrDataFile, Visible:=False)
docProposalData = appWord.Documents.Open(lstrDataFile, Visible:=False)
With docProposalData.Tables.Item(1)
lint = 1
For Each lstr In laHdg
.Cell(1, lint).Range.Text = lstr
lint += 1
Next
lint = 1
For Each lstr In laData
.Cell(2, lint).Range.Text = lstr
lint += 1
Next
End With
' Save and close the data file.
docProposalData.SaveAs(lstrDataFile)
Application.DoEvents()
'The code is breaking at this line.
<b>docProposalData.Close(Word.WdSaveOptions.wdDoNotSaveChanges, , False)
Application.DoEvents()</b>
Please help
For Reference here is GetDocument function
Public Shared Function GetDocument(ByVal wordApplication As Word.Application, ByVal filename As String) As Word.Document
If wordApplication Is Nothing Then
Throw New ApplicationException("Word application is nothing.")
End If
Dim docProposal As Word.Document = wordApplication.Documents.Open(filename)
If filename.EndsWith(".dot") Then
For Each template As Word.Template In wordApplication.Templates
If filename.EndsWith(template.Name) Then
template.Saved = True
End If
Next
filename = filename.Substring(0, filename.IndexOf(".dot")) & ".doc"
docProposal.SaveAs(filename)
End If
Return docProposal
End Function
Thanks & Regards

Why don't you show us the code you wrote and where you are receiving the errors, then we migth be able to help you.

Your code is messed up to say the least. You can start by removing every line that says "CreateGraphics" and replace it with this:
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
Use the Graphics object passed to you in the event args. Do NOT create your own Graphics object when handling Paint events.
Get rid of your OnPaint method.
You're creating objects all over the place, but only Diposing of some of them. Your code leaks resources like mad because your creating these objects on every Paint event call, but never releasing them. You'll eventually run the system out of resources and Windows will start behaving very strangely. Create objects that do not change over time, like brushes, pens, and fonts, once, and reuse them. Dispose of them when you app closes.

When I used this code
<pre>Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics</pre>
Its gives me error at run time that:
Parameter is not valid

Where are you putting the code? You need to put that code in a Paint event or any function that has a PaintEventArgs Parameter. If you start a new project and put this in the Form1_Paint event like this
Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
g.DrawString("Hello, World !", New Font("Verdana", 15), New SolidBrush(Color.Red), New PointF(20, 20))
g.DrawString("This is an example of using a Paint event", New Font("Arial", 12), New SolidBrush(Color.Blue), New PointF(20, 50))
g.Dispose()
End Sub
you shouldn't have any problems.

I still cannot see what you are trying to do, nor do I know where in the program you are getting the error. Is it when the form is loading, when you type in the textbox , where? Have you made sure that you have put text in the textbox before the form is loaded? Comment out the label_paint, and textbox_keypress events and try running it again. Did you try my example I gave you with strings instead of TextBox1.Text, and what results did that give you ?
|
|
|
|
|
ok I found out the problem that it gives error bcoz of the g.dispose() in the label's paint sub.
but its not showing anything in label
|
|
|
|
|
Having read up a little bit on it, it seems that this catches a lot of people out. According to MSDN, it is only good practice to Dispose of your Graphics object if you specifically Create it, and not if you receive it from another routine, such as in your control.Paint PaintEventArgs parameter. This is because there might be other routines further down the line that need that object. So there is no reason to dispose of your graphics object in this case. As to why it is not painting in the label, there is nowhere where you paint anything to the label
|
|
|
|
|
Your still not disposing the other GDI objects you're creating, like Brush and Font. If you don't dispose of those objects, you WILL eventully run the system out of resources. Like I said before, create object you're going to use over and over again once at the class level and dispose of them before your form closes.
|
|
|
|
|
your HTML tags aren't working, didn't you notice?
and multi-line code snippets deserve PRE tags, not CODE tags.
I'm not reading it the way it is now.
|
|
|
|
|
Ok, thanks a lot for all of your help, is working now, but now I want to know another thing that, is there anyway that I can copy this graphical text into clipboard and then paste into Richtextbox?
Thanks in advance.
