• Windows Forms Replacing numeric enter with tab

  Hi people! I want to replace default behavior of Windows form controls on keyboard events. I would like them to recognize enter key of numeric keypad as tab key. In mass keyboard data input, especially for numeric data, users prefer numeric keypad. It would bee very convenient to hit enter key to set next control in focus. I need this only for standard input controls: datagridview, text box, combo box, check box and buttons. I managed this partially by subclassing Windows form controls to handle WM_KEYDOWN, WM_KEYUP and WM_CHAR messages for numeric enter key. Datagridview, check box and button works fine but combo box won’t work ...Show All

• Visual Basic STRESSED! NEED HELP PART II

  I aint normally this bad honest! lol. Thanx to Dman1 i have remembered how to link a button on one form to another form. However i want them to appear in the same space as the first form. For example now when i click btnNext on frmOne it does indeed link into frmTwo but the frmTwo comes up on a different part of the screen so you can see both frmOne and frmTwo.

• Visual C# how long can a string be

  I have a pretty large text file, with very long lines. I am trying to read each line, match a particular field in that line (this is a comma deliminated text file) and then insert the coresponding field. I have done this and it works on most of the files. The problem is with the file that contains very long lines. It just screws everything up. It seems to either be having a problem reading the line as a string, or writing it back to a file. How long can a string be Is there some other method besides streamwriter/reader that can deal with very large lines of text Thanks. How long is a piece of string You ca ...Show All

That would probably good practice but I just want to make sure I'm not reinventing the wheel first. On the sam ...Show All
