So much for figuring this out on my own 
I’m trying to change the following string:
C:\this\directory\is\always\different
To:
C:\this\directory\is\the\new\one
I wanted to do this:
filePath = “C:\this\directory\is\always\different”
newFilePath = filePath.Replace(“is*”, “\is\the\new\one”)
Notice that I’m trying to use * as a wild card to include everything to the right of ‘is’. I don’t think its working.
'Is' – is always the same but filePath can be different each time the application is run. The only constant is the word 'is'. What I would like to do is find ‘is’ chop ‘is’ and everything to the right of 'is' and then add the new string, including ‘is’, to “C:\this\directory\”.
Did I say 'is'...

There is no wildcard support in the .Replace() method. All you have to do is find the directory "\is\" using the .SubString() method. THis will tell you the legth of the string to need to start with, then you can append the new path to the beginning of the starting path.
Dim filePath As String = "C:\this\directory\is\always\different"
Dim newFilePath As String = filePath.SubString(1, filePath.InstanceOf("\is\")
newFilePath = Path.Combine(newFilePath, "\is\the\new\one")

vb code to display ms word document in a richtextbox
n
|
|
|
|

You can only do that if the Word document you are talking about is saved in .RTF format. If it's still in it's .DOC format, the RichTextBox will not display it properly. In that case, you'll have to either Shell launch the document so Word will open a display it or use the Word Object Library to open the document and display it.

If you are using VB6 you can use the web browser control instead of rich text box. This will display it as a word doc and even allow edits\saves etc. Dont know if VB.net does this though.

Hi,
I have reports in Microsoft Access. Now i want to connect this report in vb.net.
I have done following
1. added reference of Microsoft Access Object Library 10.0
2. used following code
Dim accRpt As Object
accRpt = CreateObject("Access.Application")
accRpt.Application.OpenCurrentDatabase("E:\emp.mdb")
accRpt.Application.DoCmd.Maximize()
accRpt.Application.Visible = True
accRpt.Application.DoCmd.Maximize()
accRpt.Application.Visible = True
accRpt.DoCmd.OpenReport("city", Access.AcView.acViewPreview, "")
accRpt = Nothing
but when runs this code then directly Microsoft Access opens with report , i want to hide remaining functions of Access means,
menu etc.
How i hide this? , so only reports will display.
or Is there any other way to connect Microsoft Acces report in Vb.net.?"
Regards

You will have to modify your Access database
Here is an example
It has a menu toolbar to direct to various printers or email
'http://www.attcanada.net/~kallal.msn/msaccess/DownLoad.htm
' Acesss97 example With ms-access interface hidden:
And here is the method to call it.
I tested this with another Access program but should work with VB.
You can even remove the Access Key Icon or set to your own
in the upper corner, can't remember how but have done it.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Const SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3
Private Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
Private Const SW_HIDE = 0
Private Declare Function apiSetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" _
Alias "SetForegroundWindow" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function apiShowWindow Lib "user32" _
Alias "ShowWindow" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long
Sub test()
'http://www.attcanada.net/~kallal.msn/msaccess/DownLoad.htm
' Acesss97 example With ms-access interface hidden:
Dim accRpt As Access.Application
Set accRpt = CreateObject("Access.Application")
With accRpt
.Application.OpenCurrentDatabase ("C:\WordVBA\Kallal Word Merge Easy Samples\WordMerge22\WordMerge22.mdb")
.Application.DoCmd.Maximize
.Application.Visible = True
Call apiSetForegroundWindow(.hWndAccessApp)
'Call apiShowWindow(.hWndAccessApp, SW_SHOWNORMAL)
Call apiShowWindow(.hWndAccessApp, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
' Call apiShowWindow(.hWndAccessApp, SW_HIDE)
' .Application.DoCmd.OpenForm "frmDefaultPrinterList"
'displays the custom toolbar named CustomToolbar in all Microsoft Access windows that become active:
.Application.DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Rides Print", acToolbarYes
'DoCmd.ShowToolbar
.Application.DoCmd.OpenReport "Contacts", Access.AcView.acViewPreview
'Set the focus to MSACCESS
'Dim lngAcc As Long
' lngVal = FindWindow("OMain", ByVal 0&)
' lngAcc = SetFocusAPI(lngVal)
'must close form to exit second app 'acReport=3;acObjStateOpen=1
Do While .SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acReport, "Contacts") = acObjStateOpen
DoEvents
Loop
.Quit acQuitSaveNone
'MsgBox "Print"
End With
Set accRpt = Nothing
End Sub

I'd like to know the answer to this myself. Were you able to get the form to run in a Web browser? Specifically IE?

Basically, you can't. This would require very advanced debugging skills and a kernel debugger with a checked build of Windows running. You can't do it on a standard install of Windows using the debugger in the VS.IDE.

1. How to set a tab page visibility at runtime?
2. I have a form that runs minimized, but it has an notify icon. Once i click the notify icon, i set the windows state to normal. When running the form, i click the notify icon, it will show me error message System.Windows.Form: '0' is not a valid for 'value'. 'value' should be between 'minimum' and 'maximum'
How to solve it?
Thanks.
Special thanks to Dave Kreskowiak

Uhhh...The datasource is maintained by Microsoft. You can't add you university map to it...
[EDIT]
Silly me, after double checking with the latest MapPoint SDK, it appears you CAN upload points of interest, but I fail to see how you can upload your "map". It doesn't appears as though to can upload your own map.

Q1
I am writing an application program in VB.NET. How can I make buttons (or other features) on the form that open certain documents saved in Excel, or Powerpoint or Word?
Q2
In a form that with a textbox2 that lists integers that a user input using a textbox1, how can I code the form such that the user only needs to input an integer and strike ENTER so that the integer he has input is added to textbox2. I have this running already but at the moment the user has to keep on clicking a button, which takes much time.

You could put a Link Label on the form and just handle the click event. Put something like the following code in there to launch the file, say a Word document, you want:
Dim procStartInfo As New ProcessStartInfo(fullPathToWordDOCFile)
procStartInfo.UseShellExecute = True
Process.Start(procStartInfo)

The easiest way is to make that button the default button on the form. Just click on the form that holds that button and the textbox. Go to the properties of the form and find the AcceptButton property. Click on the dropdown in there and select the button that you want to be the default button clicked when the user hits Enter.

Help:
Do you remember in VB6 we had Wizard Manager that provided help to create an end-user wizard.
Is there a similiar add-in in VB.net?
|
|
|
|

No, not out-of-the-box. There may be a 3rd party addin, but I can't find one.

I am having trouble using MSDE with VB.NET Standard. I’m trying to study the book ADO.NET Step by Step, but it’s practice file installation instructions assume I have VB Studio, which includes a servers node. The Standard edition does not include a servers node and I can’t figure out how to access the database without it.
The Standard edition does not include MSDE, so I downloaded it separately. I believe I installed it correctly, creating the VSDOTNET instance, but I have no way to check and see if it’s setup properly. If I need to add the connection manually in VB, I’m not sure what the name of my server is, or my user name and password.
I can’t be the first person who’s run into this problem. Can anyone tell me what to do? Thanks.

Unfortunately, MSDE does not include any tools to actually access the database. All is not lost though -- you can try either:
* .NET Enterprise Manager (web based)
* download the new MSDE (beta) which does include tools
my blog
[EDIT: the new beta does not include tools at this time, although later versions will  ]

|
|
|
|
Or download SQL Server 2000 trial and install ONLY the tools (not the server engine). The tools don't expire...
