Hi...

PopMenu Skinning
Hello !
Please help If you know:
I want to (1) put a bitmap (! not a brush) in the background of a popupmenu (that is raised from menu bar) and (2) set the border of this popupmenu to be flat. Now I can to put a bitmap on the all menuitems of this popupmenu, set them edges to flat, but isn't enough. I used for this vbaccelerator exemple but there I have only menu items.
I have the handle of the popupmenu but when I'm trying to get the rectangle of it all 4 dimensions are 0:

I used:

Code:
GetWindowRect hMenu, tR
to get the rect of popupmenu but tR.Left = 0, tR.Right = 0, tR.Top = 0 and tR.Bottom = 0.
I want to use DrawEdge api to set the border of this popupmenu but I need the tR dimensions (for 2# question).
I want to use BitBlt or StretchBlt for this handle but, the same, I need tR dimensions (for 1# question). What I am wrong ?
All examples (I could found 'elitevb', 'vbaccelerator' ) deals only with DrawMenuItem, not with the parent popupmenu.
Any other exemples or suggestions ?
Thank you !

Popmenu In Systray Crashing!
In the systray I have a PopMenu.
When the user right clicks on the icon, a menu appears.

The problem is, that sometimes the icon disappears from the systray. Why, I don't know. The user has to log off and log on in windows to get the icon back in the systray.

Is there some way to determine that the programm crashes and then restart it automatically with, for example, the shell command?

The OS platform is NT and the VB version 6.0 SP5.

PopMenu-change The Caption
At first, I fill the PopMenu with the method Additem. For example
Popmenu.additem “Test”
My Problem is in the event SWBPopMenu1_Click, where I want to change the string “test” and have(replace with) an another one for instance “Test Exams”(that depends on where the user click).

Urgent - PopMenu Failed!!!!
I have a form in which I have displayed many shape controls ( All the Shape Controls are in a single control array ). When I right-click on a Shape Control I display a PopupMenu . It works.

But when I go to another Shape Control and Right-click nothing happens. The previous Pop-Menu remains. I am not able to trap any events. Only if I click the Form with Left-Mouse Button, the Pop-Menu disappears.

How do I display the PopUpMenu at each and every click ?

Thanks in Advance

TextBox – How To Invoke ‘Command_Click()’ Upon Carriage Return Press In TextBox
Hi All,

I have a TextBox which I use to enter a serial number and a Command Button to execute a query to a database that takes the value entered in the TextBox.

Text Dissapears Form Textbox When I Tab Or Click Into Another Textbox
The title says it all really.

I enter text into txtName and then I want to enter text into txtInitial so I either tab to it or click into it and when I do the entry in txtName just dissapears.!!!???!!

I am setting textbox proerties at runtime...

Code:
With txtAddMemName
.Text = ""
.TabIndex = 0
End With
Make sure the textbox is empty....Text = ""
Set the TabIndex....TabIndex = 0 ....and so on
I have all the textbox properties in Private Sub TextBoxProperties() so that the form load section is easier to read.

Is that not right?

Passing Array Value In Textbox. The Textbox Turns Up Empty.
I am passing the value of an array to a textbox, but it always turns up empty. When i pass the same value to an excel cell, i get the value. The function calculates the value of USCityA

I am giving parts of the code below:
Redim Pline(9)
Pline(9) = USCityA
test = "Hello"
USA = test & Pline(9)

In another sub, i call this funtion above to allocate the value of USC to the city as shown below:

CityA = USA

Activesheet.OLEobjects("txtbCityA").Object.Value = "CityA:" & CityA

The value i get in my textbox is only "Hello". When i pass USA to an excel cell, i get "Hello Fortworth" (or whatever the value of "USA" is calculated in the function)

Keeping Formatting From Textbox To Textbox
Ive had a few ideas so far, none of which have seemed to work

Im trying to get one rtb boxs text into another using the same formatting. From the insertion point.

it works however when the code is repeated again the text becomes reformatted by default. I was wondering whether was a property in the rich text box that allows lots of colours in the text. or some code that could do this for me.

I was thinking of a way by maybe using the clipboard and the sendmessage API to do this. Could i do that?

thankx in Advance

after you have got the input from the user using a textbox, i.e., in

a similar manner to a listbox displaying all pieces of data that

have been entered, for example a batch of exam marks. I know

it involves the newline character but can I get it to

work!!

And a command button in form1 (command1) When u press command1 I want all that text to be transfered to form2.text1.text But my code:
Code:
form2.text1.text = form1.text1.text

And I dont know why! It used to work but It doesn't anymore.

TextBox Field In Form1 Should Automatically Show Up In TextBox Field In Form2
I have budgeting problem where I want the Calculated Total Income Amount TextBox Field to appear and be the same Total Income Amount in Form2. When there are changes in the Total Income Amount in Form1 these same changes should appear in the Total Income Amount in Form2. Is there a way to link these two fields. Me.Form1 and Me.Form2 and so on.

I have always linked cells in Excel for Row1 in one worksheet with Row1 in another sheet. The same principle.

Thanks for any help

Put Name Of TextBox In Textbox (Word-VBA)
I have a Word document with way too many textboxes, some of which refer to each other (it's an automated test procedure document). I'd probably find a different way to organize it if I had it to do over, but it's (mostly) pretty simple.

However - for documentary purposes, i'd like to be able to generate a copy of the document with the name of the textbox visible in each textbox.

something like: (EXAMPLE of what I want follows - I know this won't work...)

Code:
For Each TextBox in ThisDocument
TextBox.Text = TextBox.Name
Next TextBox
For that matter, I'd like a similar function that can set them all to nothing ("") so that the form can be easily cleaared for another run

Am I stuck with having a BIG function that clears (or sets...) each individual textbox by name?

(I did search for this topic first but didn't find it - if it's been asked & answered before, you're welcome to post a link to the thread and I'll go read it.)

Thanks in advance

Sorting Textbox Into Textbox
I have a application in it there are two forms. Form1 has 5 buttons and a scroll. When you click the buttons they add at runtime testboxes right next to each other making lines from them. You can add any information in them. This is true for setup button, equipment button, note button and header is just a title so this would go on top of a equipment button because it describes what is each textbox. Of course the delete button is for each of them and it only deletes it. I also have a preview button on the bottom of the form. When clicked it is suppose to move all the information from the scroll in form1 to the form2 where another textbox serves as a display for a preview of what the user has added in form1. *note: the order of lines added in form1 is up to the user, he or she can add a setup line follwed by a equipment , then another setup etc... the combination is unlimited but its up to the user.

The problem:

when you add setup line by clicking the setup button, then you add three lines of equipment with the equipment button, and then you add another setup button by clicking the setup button. Add text to each textbos and finally click preview.

The problem, the application does not hold the order of the lines added by the user. So if you added the ines how i said before and tried to view the information in that same order you will see that in the form2 the preview textbox everything has cchanged in order and somethings are mixed. I need a solution for it to keep the order the user adds, it can vary so i guess it needs to be smart code or something i dont know. I have asked many times and nothing no one seems to know how. Thanks for you help/

Copy Textbox To Textbox
I read the rules and it said not to post to old threads but I have this same problem and this will not work for me cause it needs to copy from text1.text
to text2.text but it needs to do this more then one time so like this
text2.text = something like 1234567891093876283710
if I do
Code:
text1.text = text2.text
then it just changes my text1.text and makes it the same as text2
but I want it to copy text2 and leave what is in text1 so it would come out to this
text1.text would have now 2 in it something like
1234567891093876283710
9876543211230909871275
and would keep copying it so I can fill up text box
how would I do that then when I get all the numbers
I want in text1.text how would I save it to notepad??
thank you

Textbox To Textbox Question
Hey guys, havent been around for a while. Attempting to do something and having some probs. Attempted to search before posting and couldnt find what I was looking for, sure its been discussed before though.

This is the senario

Have a form with an input field. The form is called frmSignIn and the textbox is called txtSignInScreenUsernameInput. Have another form called frmAddEntry with a textbox called txtAddEntryUsername.

What I am looking to do is when someone enters in a username into frmSignIn.txtSignInScreenUsernameInput and sign into the program, the value in the frmSignIn.txtSignInScreenUsernameInput is automatically added to frmAddEntry.txtAddEntryUsername. For some reason, I am not able to get it to work. This is what I have tried, I am sure my thinking is logical.

VB Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()frmSignIn.txtSignInScreenUsernameInput.Text = frmAddEntry.txtAddEntryUsername.TextEnd Sub

I also tried switching it around and that didn't do anythin either. The text box on frmAddEntry is always blank.

Please advise if you can. I am sure this is easy stuff.
Thanks.

Convert Textbox To Textbox
So in text1 I will have things like {-}. And when I push a button I want it to goto text2 and have that change to a. So like {-} = a {--} = b {---} = c and so on and i want it to convert it when i push a button. I tried it a few different ways but the best i can get is to convert a alphabet once . Anyone kno how to do it?

Passing A Textbox Value To Another Textbox...
Ive created a login form (with textbox and command click button) for my program. When the program launches the Login form appears. By default I have set the login to syslock. Once the user logs in he/she will then have an opportunity to change the password via a second form (with textbox and command click button). I need to figure out how to propagate the value of Text1.Text over to txtPassword.Text which will then replace syslock with the new password.

Here's the code for the command click button on the first form (which works fine).

'ToDo: create test for correct password
'check for correct password
If txtPassword.Text = "syslock" Then
OK = True
txtPassword.Text = ""
FrmOptions.Show
Form1.Hide
Form2.Hide
Me.Hide

Else
MsgBox "Invalid Password, try again!", , "Login"
txtPassword.SetFocus
txtPassword.SelStart = 0
txtPassword.SelLength = Len(txtPassword.Text)
End If

Here's my problem...

Here's the code for the command click button on the second form.

If Text1.Text = True Then
Text1.Text = frmLogin.txtPassword.Text
Else: frmLogin.txtPassword.Text = "syslock"
End If

Can anyone offer the correct code or teach me the correct syntax...

I sincerely appreciate anyone's guidance.

Why Can't I Set A TextBox To Another TextBox Variable
This is quite strange. I have the following code

Dim myTextBox as TextBox, myControl as Control

set myControl= MyForm.Controls.Add("Form.TextBox.1", "somename", true)

MsgBox "the new control type is " & TypeName(myControl)

set myTextBox = myControl

The msgbox clear shows the type of the control is "TextBox", but when I tried to set to myTextBox, it gave me "Type Mismatch" error. The same problem occurs for OptionButton. but it's ok for ComboBox.

I'm quite puzzled. Please help.
Thanks.

Copy Data From Textbox On Form#2 To Textbox On Form #1
I have a flexgrid on form #2, and a textbox on both forms #1 and #2. The code below is on form #2.

When I click the flexgrid, the txtMatlCode.Value is populated based on the item in the row I selected. When I exit the form using the cmdExit function, I am hoping to populate the textbox on the other form with the same information.

Note, both forms are opened (shown) when I execute this part of the code.

Funny thing how it takes hours to do simple things like this, and only minutes to do the real impressive stuff! Anyhow, any help that can be provided is appreciated...
