• Windows Forms Working with controlls on different forms

  Hello. I have 2 forms. On form1 I have a button and on form2 I have a checkbox. When I press the button on form1 I want to check the checkbox on form2. Of course, assume that the checkbox form has already been shown. I am really stuck on this. Any ideas ! Create a public method on Form2 something like public void SetCheckBoxChecked( bool value) { checkBox1.Checked = value; } In your Form1's button click call this method on Form2's instance by passing true as an argument. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Loopback interface question and emulator IP

  Hi, This is probably slightly out of topic here but I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me with this. I'm using vs.net 2003 and the pocketPC 2002 emulator that comes with it. I'm trying a very basic server client app - emulator app logs in and sends a couple of messages. Server responds with some text. I installed a loopback interface on the desktop(server) and set its ip to 10.10.10.10. I've bound a socket to that address and it waits for the PDA to connect. So far, this works great - I can now send messages from the emulator app. Now when I try to send a message back to the emulator app, it doesnt seem to go through. Th ...Show All

• Architecture Server side for VBA - DCOM? .Net?

  Hi, I'm going to develop a server side component for a VBA front-end (Excel). I use VS.Net 2003. Is DCOM the way to go What are other options PS I've been developing COM components for VBA in .Net for quite a long period, and managed to make all I wanted.

• Windows Forms Error: Setup has detected that the file has changed since it was initially published.

  I'm hoping someone can help me here, I've got a ClickOnce install problem that I can't make head nor tail of - and Google doesn't seem to want to help.

• Windows Forms passing variables between forms again :)

  I have read about five different threads about passing variables between forms and none of them have made much sense to me or helped me. I know i am very new and green but can't seem to figure it out. So one more time could some one help me in simple terms. Show me how to be able to access data from one form to the next. I am wanting to for example access a string that i have assigned in form1 and use it in form 2. Don't know how to do it. I am using VS 2005 C# Thanks for any help with me being so dense. Generally the easiest way is to make a property (accessor method) on the form that has the variable and a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Changing the "Working Area" of a screen.

  I am trying to develop an application that will act a bit like a second taskbar, in that it will resize the working area of a screen so that maximised applications do not cover over it, or simply get hidden behind it. Examples of applications that use this would be things such as Desktop Sidebar or JetToolbar. I am trying to develop the application in Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition (using the .NET Framework 2.0). I have found how to get the current working area, but despite extensive searching I have not found a way to change it. Is this possible in Visual Basic Well done, Brendan.
