• Visual Studio Express Editions Form with many buttons slow when form is refreshed on VBexpress yet fast on VB6, why?

  Hi, I am new to VB exp 2005. I am currently making a simple program that has 1 form and 100 buttons on it. When I run the program, I could notice the PAINTING process of the buttons. I mean, I could see some uncompletely displayed buttons while the others are already visible. This problem could also be seen when I MINIMIZED, then MAXIMIZED the form. I made an identical program using VB6. And ofcourse the response was faster. Is there any other way that I could make my program display the buttons more faster Thanks Its probably hapenin for ur PC configuration.... vbexpress edn need lots of RAM , i mean around ...Show All

• Visual Basic Recordcount is -1

  I am having difficulty when deleting a record from an ado recordset. Even though the record has been deleted I am still seeing data in a datagrid that has its recordsource set to a query based on the deleted record.

  I am currently working with a native VB2005 program that, when I look at the line numbers, is getting close to 10,000 lines. I have a new XPS laptop very fully loaded, and am running XP. When I am working with the app, the IDE seems a little pokey, but that is to be expected - until you try to do a "Quick Find" or "Quick Replace". These take in excess of 30 seconds at times, but usually hover around 10 seconds. Am I doing something wrong All I am doing is pressing the <alt>"E" followed by the <alt>"F" key when the program is not being run or debugged, and I am just looking at the code. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Oh, the magic that the Tab key does (focus)

  [Using VS2005 Beta2...] The FocusRectangle is a very fickle thing. Create a form with two buttons on it. Create a KeyPress event for the form that cycles focus between the two buttons (turn on KeyPreview for the form): private void Form1_KeyPress( object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) {   if (button1.Focused)   {     button2.Focus();   }   else   {     button1.Focus();   } }   If you press any key other than the Tab key focus will cycle between the two buttons without ever showing the dotted FocusRectangle. Now hit the Tab key and the nifty FocusRectangle sho ...Show All
