Hello All, this is my first post. I usually find answers to my questions
here, but seem to be stuck here on a problem. I am requesting help setting up
a small project I want to create for work.
1. We have many servers we are mapped to at startup, and each server
contains folders with different files that we need access to. I would like to
create a tabbed form with Command Buttons which when clicked would open up
the specified path.
2. On the second tab, I would like to create Command buttons, which would
have hyperlinks to various web sites we frequent, our intranet sites, etc.
I have created this in Access, but since everyones paths would be the same,
by creating this app I could load on everyones computer ( some computers do
not have access ( we still use Lotus apps)
I have created in VB.net the form, tabs, and buttons, but I am having
trouble setting the buttons properties to the file path or hyperlink. If this
needs to be code generated in the click_event, could someone point me in the
correct direction.
Sorry so long, just wanted to give accurate information. Thanks to all that
replys.

Hello,
You just need to execute an external application using the parameter of the
address you want to go to. To execute an external program, add the below
using / import line:
using System.Diagnost ics;
Then drag a process control to your form (from the Components tab) and name
it e.g. p. Then add code similar to the below to your button_click event for
opening a hyperlink:
p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.Fil eName = "iexplore.e xe";
p.StartInfo.Arg uments = "http://www.google.co.u k";
p.Start();
And for opening a file path use:
p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.Fil eName = "explorer.e xe";
p.StartInfo.Arg uments = "z:\\directory\ \";
p.Start();
Or to just execute a custom application on your network paths:
p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.Fil eName = "z:\\yourapp.ex e";
p.Start();
HTH.
Works great!!!!
Thanks for the help!
Have a great day!

Once I have done the build, is there a way the user could change the links
manually, and the text on the button?
Maybe with some sort of password protection.
ex - user right clicks on button, selects properties and only allow him/her
to change the 2 items?
Thanks,

Hmm, you'll have to add this functionality programatically yourself somehow.
You can access the text of the button in your code using the ButtonName.Text
attribute, e.g:
Button1.Text = "My Computer";
Yes, but I am asking about after I build the project

That's what I mean. You could have some kind of settings page that asked for
the text the user wanted on the button using a textbox and then set the
button text to the value they enter:
Button1.Text = TextBox1.Text; This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

On my page I have a search text box for user input, a button (which invokes

A couple of easy questions here hopefully. I've been working on two
different database projects which make use of multiple
forms.
1. Where's the best/recommended placement for command buttons for things
like delete, save, edit, cancel buttons - in the footer, or on the form
detail section?
2. If in the footer, how do you add them to the tab order?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
