    - Application disappears from taskbar without any reason Hi All, I'm having problemens with my VS2005 .Net2.0 VB.Net Windows forms application. When I start the application and work with it for a while it somehow disappears from the taskbar.To get the Application button back on the taskbar I use Alt+Tab to switch to the application and voila,.. the taskbar button is back. In my code and form I can't seem to find anything strange. ShowInTaskbar is set to true Formborderstule = Sizable It is an MDI application that is used for administrative purposes on sql databases. Nothing special about that. Has any of you experienced something like this before Maybe someone has a clue what to look for Any suggestion is appreciated!

    - Stacktrace tab gone Using VS05 Pro SP1... I have lost the stack trace tab that is at the bottom of the debug screen while debugging that shows you the stack strace when you hit a break point. I don't see how to make it re-appear. Any suggestions I don't see anything in the View option that would do it. Also, how do you remove tabs from the bottom or right that you don't use I don't see anyway to remove them. Thanks! Bob Tag: Visual Basic Language Accessing Folder Properties Visual Basic

    - Convert Delegate Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this. I found on www.netfx3.com a sample workflow application and it has a section of code that was written in C#, we need it in vb. I have worked with delegates before, but never like this.. Dictionary < string , Activity > activityIdToActivity = new Dictionary < string , Activity >(); Walker walker = new Walker (); walker.FoundActivity += delegate ( Walker skedWalker, WalkerEventArgs eventArgs) { Activity activity = eventArgs.CurrentActivity; activityIdToActivity.Add(activity.QualifiedName, activity); }; walker.Walk(root); My questtion would be, how would i do this in VB. If you would like to see all the code download the sample from here http://wf.netfx3.com/files/folders/sample_applications/entry4074.aspx , Where i'm talkin about is in the WorkflowAdminService Project...ClassesRemoteFromHost.vb..Line 965...

    - Use of VB 2005's ImageList Upgrading from VB6 From my side of the World, Good Evening to You All!! I' m asking your assistance once again regarding upgrading from VB6, this time I' m enquiring about the use of ImageList. I was instructed to upgrade from vb6 the following: Case 0 Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("c:\animals\gorila.bmp") Case 0 PictureBox1.Image = New Bitman("c:\animals\gorila.bmp") And it works perfectly but as VB 2005 provides the ImageList I assume that will be tydier especialy on transporting.

    - Mask: optional but no spaces. Number or numbers only textbox entry. For what it sounds like your doing and you want to simply validate that the textbox has a numeric entry in then you can do this with a normal textbox. You'll probably want to restrict the textbox to enter numbers only and there are numerous examples of how to do this in the VB forums - search for textbox and numbers only. This simple code validates that a number has been entered and that it is within a specific numeric range. This would allow decimals to be entered which may not be desirable and adding the numbers only code would prevent the addition of decimal places limiting the numbers to integer only. Masks are good if you have a fixed format and not a variable one. ie. zip codes are always 5 digits long. Social Security Numbers are 9 digits in specific format. Public Class Form1 Private Sub TextBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged Dim Tb As TextBox = CType(sender, TextBox) If IsNumeric(Tb.Text) = False Then MsgBox("Please enter a number!!") Else Dim x = CType(Tb.Text, Single) If x < 0 Or x > 100 Then MsgBox("Out of range") End If End If End Sub End Class Tag: Visual Basic Language Accessing Folder Properties Visual Basic

    - thread timers and garbage collection I have created and started a thread timer in the application event sub "myapplication_startup" using the following code: Dim TheThreadTimerStateObj As New ThreadTimerStateObj Dim TimerDelegate As New Threading.TimerCallback( AddressOf TheThreadTimerStateObj.ThreadTimerTask) TheThreadTimerStateObj.TimerReference = New System.Threading.Timer(TimerDelegate, TheThreadTimerStateObj, 5000, 5000) And here is the object definition: Public Class ThreadTimerStateObj Public TimerReference As System.Threading.Timer <irrelevant code not pictured> Public Sub ThreadTimerTask( ByVal ThreadTimerStateObj As Object ) <...bleah bleah...> End Sub End Class I stored a reference to the new System.Threading.Timer object (created by the 3rd line of code) within my ThreadTimerStateObj class so that the garbage collector wouldn't destroy the new timer after I exited the sub, and it seems to be working. THE QUESTION: Must I also save a reference somewhere to the new ThreadTimerStateObj object "TheThreadTimerStateObj" to prevent it from eventually being destroyed, or is a reference already being saved internally somehow when TheThreadTimerStateObj.ThreadTimerTask is passed as an argument to create the new System.Threading.Timer Tag: Visual Basic Language Accessing Folder Properties Visual Basic

    - How do you manage your controls if there are many many controls placed on the forms? You can also create a user control, I have created ones that have over 100 textboxes, about 75 labels, 50 check boxes and runs calculations based on information entered into the text boxes and the check boxes that are checked. Once you create the control, you can bring it into the application and the controls in the user control will be...bound I guess I would say, to the user control. This has really helped me manage these huge items. The best part, if I have to change something on the user control, I am looking at that code, and pretty much, just that code, not trying to sort through code that is partially irrelevant to the control.

    - Background Worker I seem to have a semi-unique situation. I have to procedures that run in my program that last for a specific time frame (using the timers). The good news is, the timers work great! The bad news is I am having to use While (or do until) loops as other things are happening during the time frame. These loops utilize 100% of the processor time killing off the ability of the program to do the other functions. Shy of putting in "MsgBox" commands to force the processor to pause, I wanted to try using the background workers to process the while loop. This would work great except now my program doesn't wait for the events to complete before continuing on with the program. As the first loop is dialing a phone number and then waiting for an answer or call failure or dialling time out, I do need for the program to wait until one of those events occurs. How can I get the program to wait on the background worker to finish without adding yet another while loop I tried to have the background worker act as a function, but VB does NOT like that at all. I had figured that if I did a variable=start.backgroundworker() the program would wait but not kill my computer for all the other commands. Can someone please point me in the right direction on this I am really at a loss on how I can use the ASYNC in the background but still wait on the ASYNC process to complete before continuing. Thanks. Tag: Visual Basic Language Accessing Folder Properties Visual Basic

    - Regaining control of Excel spreadsheet from VB.net I am creating an Excel spreadsheet from VB.net. The program populates some cells of the spreadsheet. The user can also enter data into cells. These two activities can happen consecutively (not concurrently). If the user does not hit ENTER after entering their data, VB.net cannot regain control of Excel. Is there a way around this Below is a short test stub that demonstrates this. The user enters a number into cell A1. After he does this, the user hits ok to the msgbox. The square of the number goes into A2. If the user does not hit enter after typing in their number, a HRESULT: 0x800A03EC error occurs. Any help appreciated, Fred Sub Main() Dim excel As Excel.Application Dim wb As Excel.Workbook Dim sheet As Excel.Worksheet Dim data3 As Integer Dim rng As Excel.Range excel = New Excel.Application wb = excel.Workbooks.Add sheet = CType (wb.Worksheets.Add, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet) excel.Visible = True wb.Activate() rng = sheet.Range( "A1" ) MsgBox( "enter number in cell A1" ) data3 = CInt (rng.Value) Do While data3 <> 100 rng = sheet.Range( "A2" ) rng.Value = data3 * data3 rng = sheet.Range( "A1" ) MsgBox( "enter number in cell A1" ) data3 = CInt (rng.Value) Loop End Sub Tag: Visual Basic Language Accessing Folder Properties Visual Basic

    - Help with classes Hi, For my project I��m going to be simulating a simple phone network. The user will be able to add phones to the network and such. My only question is: Is it possible to use one class for all the phones or will each phone need its own class I��ve already got a rough version working but its quite crude and consists of mainly click events and if statements. But from what I��ve discovered doing that I��d now like to create it in a more structured fashion, creating a class for the exchange and phones. Any advice would be great, Thanks.

    - Creating a new GUI for an existing 3rd party application I wonder if I'm approaching this problem correctly.......If I'm trying to make a gui to restrict functionality for an existing 3rd party application, would I just make an app that trys to operate the software for the user I feel funny about this for some reason. I'm having the app open FlowCUT as the previous post from Matt detailed, and then trying to just man-handle the thing into opening a file. 'Start the FlowCUT application Dim MyPSI As New ProcessStartInfo( "C:\FlowMaster 6.0\FlowCUT.exe" ) MyPSI.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal MyPSI.WorkingDirectory = "C:\FlowMaster 6.0\" Dim MyProcess As Process = Process.Start(MyPSI) 'look to see if the application is responding/open Dim resp As Boolean resp = MyProcess.Responding() Do While resp = False resp = MyProcess.Responding() Loop 'if it is open, send the CTRL O command to choose a file My .Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys( "^o" ) Its opening the program just fine, but the SendKeys thing doesn't seem to be doing anything. As I said in the first post, SendKeys was working for me with another application, but I had to do this thing where I put up a blank message box, basically to slow things down, and after I clicked ok, I had it ActivateApp, and then SendKeys. ActivateApp doesn't really apply here though. Also, ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden doesn't hide the window at all. If I do get the gui thing working, it won't be worth much if the users can still see and access the original interface. I just can't help but think that I'm going about this in an ugly way. Is there a more graceful method of putting new guis on software Tag: Visual Basic Language Accessing Folder Properties Visual Basic

    - Custom Data Types for Settings.settings Custom Data Types for Settings.settings The Problem I would like to have a setting in my project's settings.settings file that uses a custom data type I create. The data type will have three values that will be more specific to the project I'm creating than generic integers, strings, etc. The new datatype I want to create is going to be the mode in which the application should start. There are three modes, "Running", "Stopped" or "LastMode". I have created a new class library project with a single class in it called Settings.vb. That file contains the code below. This file is referenced by the main project. I just thought using a seperate class library would be cleaner to put all my structures, generic classes, enumerations and things of that sort in and just reference it in the main project. ClassLibrary - Settings.vb Namespace Settings Public Class TFWSettings Public Enum Modes Running Stopped End Enum Public Enum StartupModes Running Stopped LastMode End Enum End Class End Namespace Intended Outcome The intended outcome is that I would be able to select from the three options in the " StartupModes " enumeration in the Types field of the main project's Settings.settings file. Of course, I will have to browse to select the correct class from the Type field's "Browse..." option in the drop down menu. Given that the class library project is referenced, I should be able to select the enumeration as the type. What I've Done So Far I am unable to get the Class Library's settings file to even show up when I select browse from within the Settings.settings' Type menu. Here's exactly what I'm doing. Open the Solution Explorer (CTRL+ALT+L) Expand your project in the Solution Explorer Double click on the My Project folder under your project Add the class library as a reference in the main project Click on the References tab Click on the down arrow on the Add button Click Reference from the menu that drops down Click the Projects tab Select the class library project Click OK Import the namespace Find the "Imported namespaces" box at the bottom of the References tab Scroll to the bottom of the list Check the box that says "ClassLibrary.Settings" Add the setting with the "StartupModes" custom type Click on the Settings tab on the left Type the name of the new setting Select "Browse..." from the bottom of the Type drop down menu Try to find the classlibrary.settings type, but it's not there... Summary How do I get a custom type created and how do I make it selectable in the Type drop down in the Settings tab in the My Projects area of my main project I would REALLY appreciate any help that anyone can give me!! Thank you in advance! Tag: Visual Basic Language Accessing Folder Properties Visual Basic

how do i access XP/Vista folder prooperties so that i can change them. i want to do something like a catalog software to change icons so that they represent importance.

can i also change the folder label like "My Documents" to like Red color

Re: Visual Basic Language Accessing Folder Properties

Riquel Dong �C MSFT

Hi Ljm89,

Based on your post, you need to modify the icon of the folder. Here is one article which introduces a simple class that can be used for assigning an icon to a folder that displays in Windows Explorer. It is the C# example. Please visit here: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/files/foldericonsincsharp.asp . There are basically two steps involved in assigning an icon to a folder:

Create a desktop.ini file inside the folder for which to create the icon (the "Target Folder").
Set the Target Folder's attribute to "System".

Hope this helps.
