Part 2: The Open Box

For some reason the opacity is not applying. It will ajust from 50 to 100 but not from 100 to 50. I have a checkbox in place to do this. Here is my code:

Private Sub CheckBox2_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox2.CheckedChanged

If CheckBox2.Checked = True Then

Me.Opacity = 50

Exit Sub

End If

If CheckBox2.Checked = False Then

Me.Opacity = 100

Exit Sub

End If

End Sub

End Class

    Me.Textbox1.Text= My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName)

    instead of Me.SaveFileDialog1.FileName

    Right. I dont want to clog up the forum with tons of threads but I have another problem. I have a open system set up like this to open a file and load it into a text box:

    Private Sub OpenToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OpenToolStripMenuItem.Click

    Dim FormBob As New Form1

    FormBob.Show()

    FormBob.OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "Saved notes|*.ipn"

    FormBob.OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()

    If FormBob.OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then

    Dim sr As New System.IO.StreamReader(FormBob.OpenFileDialog1.FileName)

    FormBob.TextBox1.Text = sr.ReadToEnd

    sr.Close()

    End If

    End Sub

    When I open the file the box will not close but it is loaded. I have also tried

    Private Sub OpenFileDialog1_FileOk(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles OpenFileDialog1.FileOk

    If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then

    Try

    Me.TextBox1.Text = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(Me.SaveFileDialog1.FileName)

    Catch fileException As Exception

    Throw fileException

    End Try

    End If

    End Sub

    which just throws out an error. What can I do

    The open box still does not dissapear when I click Open though. And by default it says OpenFileDialogBox in the File Name field.

    Oh and that was a typo on the savefiledialog.

    Thanks! It worked great. It would be nice if this was made more clearer in the help files.

    Opacity should be a value from o to 1. Try 0.5 instead of 50
