Display Contents Of A .nfo In A Text Box?
Hello all. Being very new to VB, I was wondering how I would load the textual contents of a .nfo (or a .txt for that purpose, .nfo is just popular 'cuz the icon looks cool) into a text box on a form? I want it to be unmodifiable. In fact, it is basically going to be one of those legal disclaimer/license agreement things that you see when you install anything: a plain text box that says you can't sue them if this program causes you to have seizures.
I would appreciate any help.

Display Contents Of A Speadsheet In Cells
Hi,
I have created a userform that when you click the drop down menu(combo box) and select a number it will autofill the rest of the data in the text boxes in the same userform. The code used is shown here
Code:
Private Sub cbJobNo_Change()
Dim rFoundSource As Range
Dim strText As String
Dim tBox As Control
If cbJobNo.ListIndex > -1 Then
strText = cbJobNo.Text
Set rFoundSource = Range(cbJobNo.RowSource).Find(what:=strText, _
after:=Range(cbJobNo.RowSource).Cells(1, 1), _
LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole, searchorder:=xlByRows, _
searchdirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=True)
For Each tBox In Me.Controls
If IsNumeric(tBox.Tag) Then
tBox.Text = rFoundSource.Offset(0, tBox.Tag)
End If
Next tBox
End If
Sheets("applications issued").Select
Sheets("Applications Issued").Range("a4") = _
PaymentApplication.cbJobNo.Value
End SubPrivate Sub cbJobNo_Change()
Dim rFoundSource As Range
Dim strText As String
Dim tBox As Control
If cbJobNo.ListIndex > -1 Then
strText = cbJobNo.Text
Set rFoundSource = Range(cbJobNo.RowSource).Find(what:=strText, _
after:=Range(cbJobNo.RowSource).Cells(1, 1), _

End If
Next tBox
End If
Sheets("applications issued").Select
Sheets("Applications Issued").Range("a4") = _
PaymentApplication.cbJobNo.Value
End Sub
This works well but i want to have another drop down list on the same user form that reads data from a different work sheet. I thought this would be easy but as you can see from the code, there is no where in it that says what sheet it is working with. Any ideas how i can get this working? I have tried using sheets("worksheet1").select but this does not work. The only code that i have changed is the name of combo box.
User form is attached
Display Contents Of Form Keep Getting Erased
Hi! I'm having a problem with the contents of my forms data getting erased.
My application is grabbing data from a USB 2.0 digital camera. I call a camera function called VbStartVideo which has a parameter that points to the frame buffer that receives the data.
In my case I'm grabbing data from the camera directly to a form. VbStartVideo frmd.hwnd
Everything works fine when the camera is constantly outputting data. The problem happens when I stop the camera. I can see the last image however when I pass anything on top of the form or minimize the form or pass another application over it (such as notepad) I lose all the data inside the form. Basically I just see the forms background. See attached image.
My goal is to be able to place things on top of the form that is not grabbing and not overwrite the last image.
Thanks!

How Do I Get The Contents Of A Text File To Display As Is
I need to show the user the contents of a text file. Originally I tried reading it in and then writing the data to a text box but the original spacing between columns was changed. Now I am creating an OLE object which displays the file in the form of a notepad to the user who can then double click it to see the contents in notepad.exe.
I want to bypass all that and just have the contents of the file displayed with original formatting, without the user seeing a notepad to double click.
How do I do this?
Display Contents Of Folder In A Listbox

Display Recycle Bin True Contents In Listview
Over the past couple of days I have been working on a mini-file explorer. I have it listing the drives,directorys in a treeview and showing the lists in a list view.
But I have not figured out how to display the true contents of the recycle bin. I can display the individual recycle folders on the various drives but I am looking to display them as one in the listview as it does in windows explorer. Does any one know how to do this or has some sample code to show how to display the RB??
TIA Very Much..
P.S. I have looked on all the usual sites but have found no code to do this.
Display Array Contents In Text Window
I need help displaying the results from one of my scripts. Currently, I write my output to a growing array and then use the msgbox function to display the whole thing at the end.
I have 2 problems with this.
#1 - I sometimes run out of room in the msgbox when my output gets too big
#2 - The user has to dismiss the msgbox before he can go back into the spreadsheet.
I'd like to be able to display the data in some kind of text box window that the user doesn't have to dismiss right away to start using the spreadsheet again.
I've thought of writing the results to a text file and then launching notepad or something to view the data, but there has to be an easier way to do it in visual basic in excel.
Any help?
Thanks

Display Contents/open Combo Box ~ Resolved
A long long time ago in a galaxy far away a programmer used send keys in Access. Now that lazy programmer (not me I promise) has gotten into trouble since Vista has come along. Long story. To surmise, I need to get rid of send keys in the Access app.
Now to the one that I haven't been able to find different code for. When we open a form, at times we place focus on a certain combo box and send Ctrl + F4 to it to open the combo box and display the contents. I don't want to replace these with list boxes for various reasons. Is there a property setting or command I can use to display the contents without using send keys?

VB Can't Display DataGrid Contents In Office 2000 Environment
Hi all,
I wrote a program using VB. The program uses ADODC and DataGrid with Access for the database. It also creates Excel files from the DataGrid contents.
When I ran it on Office XP and Office 2003 environment, it works well, no problem. But when I try it on Office 2000 environment, the DataGrid WON'T show anything, although the database is filled and the Excel files are created (no problem with the function to store to the DB and create Excel files).
FYI : Everytime I run the EXE file in Office 2000 env, it always asks for Office 2000 CD. But after I put the CD and copy files from it, no change, nothing happens....
Can anyone tell me how to solve it? Maybe there's a special DLL or OCX I have to include so the DataGrid can show the contents?
Thanks a lot

Best Control To Use To Display Contents Of An ASCII Text Appending File?
Hi,
I have a chemical analyser grinding out results for several process streams. As part of saving historical data, I format the results from each analysis into an ASCII string with timestamp, and then append the string to the appropriate sample file.
What is the easiest way to allow the user to scroll through such files?
For event logging, I have set up a series of text lables (15 say) and the used a vertical scroll bar to dispaly 15 of the last 200 events. The events are stored in a circular buffer, which contains the last 200 events. This works well, as I can color each line to indicate the type of event (yellow on red for error, white on green for result, white on blue for standard..). But the coding is fairly complex and am looking for a simple display of analytical results for a given sample stream.
In the case of the anlysis results, the data is appended, so the file just keeps growing. Presumably, monthly files will be separated and stored.
How To Have A Textbox Accept Full Pathname Entered & Display Contents In Picturebox
Just learned how to create a textfile and have VB read it and display one OR all lines into a picture box.
My inquiry is on another method:

How would I do this? I was thinking to use an IF statement?? Really not sure.
I've attached my program files as that is only part I have not coded. (small beginner program)

Using MsChart MouseOver Event To Display The Contents Of Array That Populated Chart
I want to be able to view the data that has populated the Graph control by using a Mouseover event as the PointSelected Event does not work if I have a lot of data points on my graph - MouseOver would be much nicer anyway. Currently I use something like this:
Private Sub ActiveChart_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, y As Single)
On Error Resume Next
Dim lngZeroXAxis As Long
Dim lngEndOfXAxis As Long
Dim lngLengthOfXAxis As Long
'XCoordinate at intersection with YAxis
lngZeroXAxis = 1230
'XCoordinate at end of graph
lngEndOfXAxis = 11895
'Length of graph
lngLengthOfXAxis = lngEndOfXAxis - lngZeroXAxis
Select Case X
Case Is <= lngZeroXAxis
txtXCoordinate = 0
Case Is >= lngEndOfXAxis
txtXCoordinate = 0
Case Else
'Display contents of datapoint selected in two dimentional array
txtXCoordinate = m_PreservedXAxisData(0, CInt((X - lngZeroXAxis) / (lngLengthOfXAxis / m_lngTimescale)))
End Select
'Display X Coordinate
Text1 = X
'Display Y Coordinate
txtYCoordinate = y
End Sub
Here m_PreservedXAxisData is a two dimensional array and m_lngTimescale=1
Problems are that depending on the scale of the graph lngZeroXAxis & lngEndOfXAxis change
There must be a better approach than this! Can someone please help?
After Using (Drive,Dir,File) Controls, How To Display Selected File Contents?
Hi, I have figured out how to take the following controls (Drive,Dir,File), place'em each in form then use DriveListBox to select a drive, from there use DirListBox and select a folder, from there go to FileListBox and select a file from that folder ... finally pressing a command button (cmdDisplayPathName) to display the complete pathname in (picDisplayPathName). All work fine. Here's what I want to do next:
Press another command button (cmdDisplayFileContents) to display the selected files' contents into a textbox (txtDisplayFileContents).
My code so far:
Code:
Private Sub DriveListBox_Change()
'This is the Drive List Box control
DirectoryListBox.Path = DriveListBox.Drive
End Sub
Private Sub DirectoryListBox_Change()
'This is the Directory List Box control
FileListBox.Path = DirectoryListBox.Path
End Sub
Private Sub FileListBox_Click()
'This is the File List Box control
End Sub
Private Sub cmdDisplayPathName_Click()
'When button is pressed, complete path displays
picDisplayPathName.Cls
picDisplayPathName.Print DirectoryListBox.Path;
If Right(DirectoryListBox.Path, 1) <> "" Then
picDisplayPathName.Print "";
End If
picDisplayPathName.Print FileListBox.FileName
End Sub
Private Sub picDisplayPathName_Click()
'Displays the complete pathname of selected file.
End Sub
Private Sub cmdDisplayFileContents_Click()
'When this button is pressed, the selected files' contents display into "txtDisplayFileCont.text"
** This is where I do not know how to code, tried a couple hokey ways, was totally incorrect.
** Need help in this area.
...........
Else
'Error message
MsgBox "Unable to display contents."
End If
End Sub
Private Sub txtDisplayFileContents_Change()
'Displays the contents of selected file.
End Sub
Three Questions
(1) What do I code in the 'cmdDisplayFileContents_Click()' portion in the above code?
(2) Once coded I know displaying a textfile is easy and will show up in textbox (txtDisplayFileContents), but what about other file types? Does a viewer of some sort need to be used to show file contents if not a straight text file? --- If so, how is this coded/implemented?
(3) In using (Drive,Dir,File) to browse around and select a file, I end up with three separate controls on the form ... is there now a shortcut (one control?) somewhere that can do the same thing? If so, what is it?
Thank you for any help and direction(s).

Urgent - DBGrid Control: How To Edit The Contents In A List Box During The Run Time And The Contents
DBGrid Control: I created one DBGrid control, Data control, one list box in DBGrid control, AddNew button and i have two columns in each row. First column in a row contains a text box and the second column contains one list box. In DBGrid control properties I have selected the layout and checked the 'Button' property. I need to create infinite number of rows dynamically. When i run this program i am able to create inifinite rows and insert the text in the text boxes and unable to edit the contents in the list boxes during the run time.
My question is: how can i edit the contents in the list boxes and the contents in each list box are differently, how can i differentiate?
Any code or ideas will be helpful to my work.

Vijay.
Reading Cell Contents, Sending Contents To Other Sheet
I want to go through a row in Sheet1, and whenever I see a value in column E that is a number and not zero, i want to add that to a blank sheet (Sheet 2), I will have to at some point make this sheet blank, or just overwrite the cell contents. So after clicking my button, it reads everything in column E (Sheet1) and puts all nonzero numbers into column A of Sheet 2. My initial attempt at doing this was:
Dim x As Integer
Dim Ecell As Range
For Each Ecell In Range("D1100")
If Ecell.Value > 0 Or Ecell.Value < 0 Then
MsgBox (Ecell.Value) 'debugging
Sheet2.Cells(A, x) = Ecell.Value
x=x+1
End If
Next Ecell
I have noticed that this does NOT filter out jsut the nonzero numbers (text seems to slip through).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been programming in VB for a long time, but this is my first experience with excel.
Searching Find For Contents Using 'contents Includes' Box.
This is my first attempt to join a user group.
I run an iMac and have recently upgraded to OSX, OfficeX, after years
of problems.
I am having difficulties with Find, or maybe do not understand its
function.
I frequently want to find by content, eg, want to look at all the
files and downloads which include the word 'war'.
If I put 'war' into the 'contents includes' box I get a list of files.
Some include the word 'war,' some do not include the word 'war,' and
other files are overlooked that DO include the word 'war'.
The Apple tech support experts have told me that I need to put a
phrase, not a single word, in the 'contents includes' box. That sems
to me to virtually negate the find by word function. My Help menu says
'Type the WORD or PHRASE you want to search by 'contents includes'.
Clearly if I want to find all references to ‘war' or any other single
word, I should get a 100% response by just using that word alone,
otherwise the function is useless.
Any suggestions?

Tab Contents Disappears
Would certainly appreciate some help with this!!
I have a form with 6 tabs on it using microsofts SSTab component. Now the problem...when I place another form on top of it, then hide that form, the contents of the tab disappear. You have to click on another tab, then back to get the information to reappear. I have tried refreshing with doevents, but it doesn't work. If I refresh in the immediate window, it refreshes and is visible, but when running the program, it doesn't.
Any ideas?
Thanks...TeeTime3
Listbox Contents Won't Appear
I have a listbox on an excel sheet, not a form. I click a command button that pulls data in from an oracle datbase and populates the listbox using lstTables.AddItem .... Everything works fine except that after that code has completed, the list box appears empty. If you click on it however, the item in the list where you clicked will appear. Likewise, if you shrink excel and restore it, the data will be in the listbox. I understand that the listbox isn't refreshing but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out out to make it refresh using code. I can make it appear using a sperate command button that switches the ListStyle from Option to Plain then back to Option but when I put that in the procedure where the AddItem line takes place, it doesn't work. This is driving me insane so if anyone has a clue how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
Clearing Contents
I need to clear the contents of sheet2 while working in sheet1. I have written a program, in Excel, that starts off with a dialog box.

I know how to clear the contents on sheet2, but I have to activate sheet2 to do so.

Hello everybody

What am I forgetting?

Contents Of Cells
Guys/Girls
a quick Q:
I have a conditional statement that would test if a cell format= date is empty or not.
I assume that since it has a format I shoud use
Code:
objExcel.Cells(i,j).value = ""
rather than:
Code:
objExcel.Cells(i,j).value = EMPTY
true or false ;-)
Cell Contents
Could anyone take a look at this problem for me.....I'm using the following code to summarise a s/sheet usin autofilter -
Code:
Sub Picture9_Click()
Worksheets("E-FORM").Range("i21:i173").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<>"
End Sub
Want I want to do is, before the above code executes, check that three different cells have either something in them, or ideally check if it contains specific data. If they don't meet the criteria, I want to generate a userform or message box that lists which cells are not complete or correct (ideally it would list the title of the cell as opposed to just it's reference - i.e. "Please complete the order number field", not, "C20 is empty"). However, if all three cells meet the criteria, it will simply execute the above.
I know how to use the IF command, and could maybe work out how to check if one cell has contents using = "" but to check or verify three and then display any errors, is baffling me.
Any help would be gratefully received.
