<description("location of="" images="" to="" represent="" button="" states"),="" category("button="" image"),="" defaultvalue(false),="" _
editorattribute(gettype(filenameeditor),="" gettypesystem.drawing.design.uitypeeditor))=""> _
Public Property ImageDir() As String
Why wont the above compile? I have tried to implement the FileNameEditor attribute so presumably I can have properties where the user can select files. But it can't find the attribute even though I have imported the documented name space.
Any ideas.

Found it -- I'm using this code snippet to test:
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Windows.Forms.Design
'EditorAttribute(GetType(System.Windows.Forms.Design.FileNameEditor), GetType(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))' _
Public Property testFilename() As StringYou also have to add a reference to System.Design.dll to get it to show up.
It drove me nuts for 20 minutes trying to find it. I finally went into the Object Browser, hit the search button, and typed in 'FileNameEditor' in the 'Find What:' box. Then I clicked on the little button next to 'Look In: Selected Components', clicked on 'External Components and Libraries', and then clicked 'Add'. I then added ALL of the 'System.<whatever>.dll' files, hit 'Select', then 'OK'. I did the search and found the little bugger under System.Windows.Forms.Design. I then went thru the 'External Components' list again and 'Remove'd each external component, one at a time, until the Browser window no longer showed the 'FileNameEditor' hit. That's when I knew what DLL it was residing in.

Sir Rage of Rage-shire, thou art a God!
P*sser number 1...when the System.Design shows up with other stuff, like it's already referenced. Things like that just lower your trust of things you take for granted as being straight forward.
Ah well, onwards and upwards.
Oh by the way...I solved my problem of icons for my controls not showing up in the toolbox. I renamed my controls, to divorce them of any old stuff in the registry, and guess what, yep, you don't have that surprised look on your face, so you know...it worked! P*sser number 2, follow the rules but if your registry is strangely screwed for whatever reason then its gonna bite yah! 8-(
As soon as I referenced system.design explicitly the new uitype designer stuff was all plugged in.
Thanks a million!

What Am I doing wrong?
I am getting the message object is close
Dim objcnn1 As New ADODB.Connection
Dim objcmd1 As New ADODB.Command
Dim objrst1 As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim str As String
Dim GConnection As String
objcnn1.Open "Provider=MSDASQL.1;password =;User Id = ;Data Source=TEST;"
objcmd1.ActiveConnection = objcnn1
With objrst1
.ActiveConnection = objcnn1
.CursorType = adOpenDynamic
End With
sDownload = "SELECT * FROM test "
objrst1.Open sDownload
Do While Not objrst1.EOF
MsgBox " " & sDownload
objrst1.MoveNext
Loop

as such you are using the MSDASQL provider
u r here not specifying the path of the source 
i think that u should specify the path of the source
else wise he will take the application path
also u r using the MSDASQL provider then i think that you have to login the SQL server to access the database
i m not sure abt it 
check whether the objcnn1 is open or not and get the error
from err.number
first do the connection and then do the rest of the things with that object

First, you're using some bad programming techniques that will lead to some overhead in the Code. Anytime you Declare a Variable with the "...As New" and it's an Object, then every time you set a Property or use a Method, the VB Compiler ALWAYS checks to see if the Object has been instantiated...this is some significant overhead if you use this routine a lot.
Actually, it looks like the whole Connection String is wrong... The Provider "MSDASQL" is strictly used for DataSources that reside in the ODBC DataSources. If this is the Case, and you do not have a User / Password, then leave those Parameters out. Also, do not put a SemiColon at the end of the Connection String.
Also, why did you make an "ADODB.Command" Object if you never used it??
NOTE: Also, you better learn the difference between Dynamic, ForwardOnly, Static, and Keyset cursors before you program any further, you are not making the most efficient use of resources...
Dim adoCon As ADODB.Connection
Dim rsData As ADODB.Recordset
'Open the Connection
Set adoCon = New ADODB.Connection
'objcnn1.Open "Provider=MSDASQL.1;password =;User Id = ;Data Source=TEST;" (Wrong)
adoCon.Open "Provider=MSDASQL.1;Data Source=TEST"
'Open the Recordset
'Open ForwardOnly / ReadOnly because we are only Enumerating the Records (maybe filling a ComboBox)
Set rsData = New ADODB.Recordset
rsData.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rsData.Open "Select * From Test", adoCon, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
While (Not rsData.EOF)
MsgBox " " & rsData.Fields(0).Value 'sDownload (Huh?)
'MsgBox " " & rsData.Fields("FieldName").Value
'MsgBox " " & rsData!FieldName
'MsgBox " " & CStr(rsData!StringField)
'MsgBox " " & CInt(rsData!NumberField)
rsData.MoveNext

How do I override where the rich text box draws to an area.
What I would like to do, is to have the rich text box output go to a picturebox.
If needed, I can supply the 'shareware' paint program that I have updated, so you can see why this becomes important.

Just thought I would run this past you again, as I hit a blank before...
I have a panel control, which draws a form like caption at the top. Problem is, if I place a control in that panel and dock the control at the top of the panel, the new control obscures the caption. Can I control the CLIENT area in such a way that when the control docks, it fits beneath the caption? Is this something to do with SetClientSizeCore?
Thanks

Heya,
I'm trying To create a windows service that picks messages off of a MS message queue and send them to a GSM modem. I can post a message to the queue with a standard Windows app so there's no problem connecting to the queue. The problem is, I've made a service that finds the queue and begins receiving, it just never calls the ReceiveCompleted event, or if it does I never see it happen. I know it reads the queue once because if there is a message on the queue it disappears as soon as the service is started. If I add a message after that nothing happens.
The code is as follows:
Private Sub HookQueue()
Try
' Initialise our queue
SMSMessageQueue = New MessageQueue(".\private$\SMSMessaging")
SMSMessageQueue.Formatter = New System.Messaging.XmlMessageFormatter(New String() {"LAB.Messaging.SMS.SMSMessage"})
AddHandler SMSMessageQueue.ReceiveCompleted, AddressOf SMSMessageReceived
SMSMessageQueue.BeginReceive()
Catch exp As MessageQueueException
EventLog.WriteEntry(exp.Message)
Catch exp As Exception
EventLog.WriteEntry(exp.Message)
End Try
End Sub
And the event code:
Private Sub SMSMessageReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Messaging.ReceiveCompletedEventArgs) Handles SMSMessageQueue.ReceiveCompleted
Try
Dim SMSMessage As Message = sender.EndReceive(e.AsyncResult) 'SMSMessageQueue
Dim oMessage As LAB.Messaging.SMS.SMSMessage = CType(SMSMessage.Body, LAB.Messaging.SMS.SMSMessage)
'TODO: Send message to GSM Modem here
SMSMessageQueue.BeginReceive()
Catch exp As MessageQueueException
EventLog.WriteEntry(exp.Message)
Catch exp As Exception
EventLog.WriteEntry(exp.Message)
End Try
End Sub
I can't think of anything I'm doing wrong.
Thanks

i set variable as a bitmap buffer
dim bufferBmp As Bitmap
Dim myfont As Font = New Font(New FontFamily("Arial"), 8, FontStyle.Regular)
when i use drawstring on the bitmap and display it on a picbox
g.DrawString("Start", myfont, mysolidbrush, startdrawx, d)
the output of the string seems like become bolded and unclear, it will never happen when i draw directly on the picturebox, i need to use bitmap buffer due to certain reasons, somebody suggested me set the pixel format of the bmp using Format32bppArgb or Format32bppPArgb.
but i really a beginner in VB.Net, anyone can provide me the sample coding to set the format??
thanks for any help!!

You might want to try creating your Bitmap object using the Grpahics object of the PicBox.
Dim grPicBox as Graphics = PicBox.CreateGraphics()
Dim bufferBmp As New Bitmap(Width, Height, grPicBox)
This will give your Bitmap the same PixelFormat as the PicBox. The only down side is you have to give the Width and Height of the buffer.

How can I with Tabcontrol select or focus any TabPage with code.
I don't know how do this.
Johnny
|
|
|
|
|
You can do this using the SelectedIndex of the TabControl. SelectedIndex will get or set the Index of the currently selected tab. For example, the following code assumes that there is a Button and a TabControl on the form. The Button is used to select the next tab in the TabControl.
Dim currentTab As Integer
Dim highestTab As Integer
Private Sub cbNext_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cbNext.Click
Dim nextTab As Integer = currentTab + 1
If nextTab > highestTab Then
nextTab = 0
End If
TabControl1.SelectedIndex = nextTab
currentTab = TabControl1.SelectedIndex
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
currentTab = TabControl1.SelectedIndex
highestTab = TabControl1.TabCount - 1
End Sub

I just want to know ,how can i use this code on TAB select,i have been trying this on Tab select,instead of Button click,in order to get effect this on Tab select ,On which event should i write the code.u can mail me shihab@vatimsolutions.com...Thanxs in advance.
|

The code I submitted was an example of how to change the Tab in code. You can use the same code in a different routine if you want. Just the most important part was TabControl1.SelectedIndex = (tab number). The rest was just keeping track of which tab was selected and what the next tab number is.
Using the TabPage.Select method doesn't work the way you would expect it to. The user won't see any change in the tab that is shown if you use that method.

Hi again,
Onwards with my list of woes...
I have a floating panel container which folds away whenever it looses focus or isn't being pointed at with the mouse. When I popup a context menu my panel thinks its time to fold away! Bugger!
If my floating panel contains the focus all is well, but if its not focused, and it just opens because I pointed at it with the mouse, then when I open a context menu from the panel, the system thinks I am no longer pointing at the panel, and its right, because I am pointing at the menu. I need to hold the panel open whilst the menu is being processed. What's the best way to know when the menu has closed, without sticking code in all its menu item click event handlers?
I will know when the menu is first opened, I just don't know how to catch it being closed.
Thanks for reading

Is there a simple straight forward method of persisting properties of child controls which are contained within user controls?
I have a user control which inherits from panel, on that panel is a single text box. The panel user control exposes the text box through a HostedControl property so that the user can set the MultiLine property at designtime. However, that property change is not serialized. It seems that I either have to expose a multiline property on the user control which drives the text box property, or I have to somehow serialize the properties of the text box myself.
Any pointers would be appreciated (ooh, provided there to valid memory locations  ).
Just to make this abolutely clear. When I add the text box to the Panel user control, if I set the multiline property then all is well, but when I compile my panel/text hybrid control and place it on a form, then all the properties from the panel user control are serialised, but the properties of the text box are not. I view this as pretty obvious behaviour which seems to make sense, but how do I work around it?
