 |
|
i have a small .net program that is a form with some buttons. The output of the bottons are text displayed on msg boxes. However i want the text to be output on the same form, perhaps on another panel or something. I'm new to vb .net and would appreciate any help and suggestions on how i can display my results on the same form. What about sending the info to a file too, like word doc or something. Is a print function also available for forms?
Thanks for any help

You can do all of that, but one thing at a time. If you want to display some information on your form, you can use a variety of controls to do so. The most likely would be a Label or a TextBox. The TextBox has a ReadOnly property that you can set to True so that the user cannot edit the text it contains. Like most controls, the Label and TextBox both have a Text property that corresponds to the text that they display. Assuming that you have a Label named Label1 on your form, to have it display the string "Hello World" you would use this code: | Code: | | Me.Label1.Text = "Hello World" |
The Text property is just a String, so you can manipulate it like you would any String object.
Edit:
For file IO you use the classes in the System.IO namespace. For printing you use the classes in the System.Drawing.Printing namespace. You can also control a running instance of Microsoft Word directly using automation. These are all complex topics, though. Do some reading and post back again when you have more specific questions. |
