Hello everyone. This is my very first post in this forum. I'm taking my first Visual Basic.Net Class and am wanting to try some new things for one of my homework assignments. The assignment is to create a windows application that will allow a user to balance a checkbook. Visually speaking, I want to use multiple list boxes, to display the data: Description, Credit, Debit, Balance, in an effort to emulate the look of a real checkbook ledger. The more I thought about it, it would work for just a few entries, but when the number of entries got to be larger, and the scroll bars are needed on the list boxes, a user would have a difficult time keeping the data aligned if they had to scroll each of the individual list boxes. Is there any way to lock or synchronize the scrollbars of multiple list boxes so they all scroll together?
Again, this is just something extra that I wanted to look into and is not required for the assignment.
Thank You.

If you study the properties and methods of the listbox I think you will find that it's not too difficult. The idea is simply that when one listbox scrolls (which will probably fire an event, but if not you can watch for it, say in a timer control) you want to set a property on the others to cause them to scroll to the specified point.
I'm not going into specifics for a number of reasons, including: - Especially (though not only) in the case of homework/coursework, we don't want to provide cut-paste answers, as that helps nobody and can even get you into trouble. But regardless of the circumstances, it's generally better if we can help you understand something better so that you come to a solution.
- I work in VB6, so the properties and methods are likely to be different, and just confuse you.
- You might be better off using some form of grid control rather than a bunch of listboxes.

I'm looking for a script that can search multiple instances of Google
(or other search engines optionally). The user types in a single word
in the text field, presses ENTER or the submit button, and the browser
launches several instances of Google with the single word + other
search terms.
I would like to have this script because I'm a translator and
frequently need to look up the meaning of words. I Google using

I am trying to get multiple threads to lock specific regions of a file.
However, since each thread has the same PID, it appears that a lock by
one thread does not block another thread from the same process.
How does one maintain file locking between sibling threads?

Does anyone have any suggestions for synchronizing multiple websites?
We have a dev server, a testing server, and a live server. Now, we
have 3 developers, and we are having trouble tracking which files on
which server are the latest. I know it should be obvious, but this is
a bit complicated, as many of you may have experienced.
Any suggestions for software and/or methods/techniques for file
management?

Hello,
I need to synchronize the access to a couple of hundred-thousand
files. It seems to me that creating one lock object for each of the
files is a waste of resources, but I cannot use a global lock for all
of them either (since the locked operations go over the network, this
would make the whole application essentially single-threaded even
though most operations act on different files).
My idea is therefore to create and destroy...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
