Dah ! In previous VB version, there was an argument in most of the MouseDown, MouseMove and MouseUp called button, some kind of wonderful. Divil, stop answering my post, I am getting a little bit bored of your "You can't do that" kind of answer. thx

Is it possible to set the MouseButton value to 0 (None) in a function ? thx

I absolutely need to load some masked edit controls from a class. It is quite easy to do with common form controls ( textboxes, comboboxes... ) using the inherit sytem.windows.forms.blabla statement. But because the masked edit control is not a windows form control, I can't use this syntax. Now that the control array method can't be done in .NET, is there any workaround I can use to load masked edit control from a class ? I hope so thx

Just a question : Where did you found the MSFlexGrid control in .Net ? Did you download it or used the OCX from VB6 ? I just can't find it in the .net COM collection

Here is my problem : I am storing the menu mapping of an MDI application in an access database. My table contains menu item names, text and shortcut. I am trying to figure out a way to directly refer to a control ( menu item ) using the content of a field. i.e : ctl = OleReader("MenuItemName") then use the ctl variable to set the menu item properties. I want to do so to avoid huge Select Case structure. Anybody has done something similar before ? thx

Nevermind I solved my problem. ctl will accept the Text property for a datepicker even if it is not in its collection. One of .Net strong point, I have to admit ;)

... Here is my code : For Each ctl in GroupBox1.Controls If Not TypeOf ctl Is Label Then ctl.Text = OleReader (ctl.Name.ToString) End If Next All controls update themselves except for the DateTime picker. The reason is simple, it does not have a Text property, it uses the Value property instead. I can't directly refer to the DateTime Picker in the code (i.e OpenTime.Value = "0:00:00 AM" ) because the control is loaded from a class at runtime. Is there a way to assign to the ctl variable the datatime picker type of control, then cycle throught it. What was supposed to be a dynamic application turns out to be a complete headache. thx

Okay Took note of it ;)

Chr (13) & Chr(10)

This is the expression I used in VB6 to emulate carriage return when setting the text property of a Textbox at runtime. In .net, it does not seems to be understood by the textbox control. I set to AllowReturn property to True, but the textbox won't still show the carriage return. Is there a new syntax or something ? thx

Setting the updown property to true will do exactly what I want to do thx sethindeed

Was wondering... Can we set the date time picker a certain way that instead of having a calander that is dropping down, it is a watch or something that will intuitively allow the user to pick a particular TIME of the day ? thx !

In which radiobutton event have you code your function ?

As reference : If you declare the variable used to contain your form in a module, you will be able to use your form components from a separate class. Thanx god ! :)
