    Word Wrapping

    Well I have just realised what is happening when i dont remove the vbcrlf. It doesnt reset the currentlinelength so everytime i run the event the text gets longer as linebreaks keep getting added every x chars. So i need to somehow check for a linebreak and if one is found reset the count...

    Word Wrapping

    Hi Guys, This is driving me daft, I need to restrict the length of each line entered onto a multi line textbox to only be X chars, however the number of lines is not a concern. Now i have found this code on internet which needed a little tweaking but as it stands now ... Public Function...

    MDI Childs title bar

    Ah ha, Sorted it. I had put jebenson's code in the resize event of my base form from which i inherit so everytime i set the dockstyle the form resized and maximized. Removed that and it works like a treat :)

    MDI Childs title bar

    i have tried the exact code you pasted pmegan however i still get the bar across top. Very Annoying I also tried setting the borderstyle to none and docking but again no luck. There has to be a way, that grey bar is ruining my nice new GUI :) jebenson cheers, that fixes another problem I have...

    MDI Childs title bar

    Yes, the parent is set to MDI Container and when i load the forms i set the mdi parent and then .show But i still get the controls when the mdichild is maximized even if the showclose and showminimize etc properties are set to false. I have also tried setting the form border to none.

    MDI Childs title bar

    The form is set to maximized, however just below the application title bar there is a second set of buttons for min / max / closed which control the mdi child

    MDI Childs title bar

    I have an application which uses an MDI interface, forms are loaded into the MDI form and a tab strip lists all open forms for the user to select between any open forms. the user should never be able to change the MDI Children from been maximized (kinda like worksheets in Excel whereby they are...

    Iterate through a forms binding sources

    i might have misled you here, the someinstance i mentioned above is a reference to a loaded form which has all the dataloaded. So if i cycled through the controls like so for each c as control in f.controls 'do whatever next i could access the data in those controls. however i need to...

    Iterate through a forms binding sources

    ah sorry yea the reference is being passed. Basically i want to get the bindingsource's current datarow and extract a field value which i will then pass to crystal reports. The way i do it at the moment is have a sub in about 20 forms and reference the binding source by name in each but...

    Iterate through a forms binding sources

    So the components dont exist until an actual form is created? if i used code like the following dim f as Form f = someinstance for each c as control in f.controls 'do whatever next There must be someway of doing the same with components?

    ON TextChanged event

    So the text is being changed programatically via txtLocation.text = "Something"? if it is try txtLocation.text = "Something" RaiseEvent txtLocation.TextChanged does the event fire then?

    Iterate through a forms binding sources

    I need to cycle through all the binding sources on a form and get the .current for each. After a fair bit of googling i found a code sample which shows you to cycle though the components.components collection and direct cast the objects to a binding source type. This is fine if the code is...

    asychronous tcl listener

    Thanks, i have put the code you said in a function and am running that on a separate thread and now the programme doesnt crash any more and runs perfectly. However, how would i now stop the thread running? (so that the app will stop listening for messages ) ?

    asychronous tcl listener

    Hmmm, i have been hashing about with the example from this page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fx6588te.aspx not sure which line of code starts the new thread, however i do get cross threading errors (hence Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = False) so the thread is...
