hi this might work try setting the border style property of child form to none. Computer... :confused: Programming... :confused: What That

also ya if groupbox2 is a child of group 1 it will not work. try doing this place groupbox1on the form place all the controls on it. then place groupbox2 on the form some where else place the controls on it. move it over the groupbox 1. now in groupbox1 button write this groupbox1.visible=false groupbox2.visible=true and in groupbox2 button write this groupbox1.visible=true groupbox2.visible=false hopefully it will work Computer... :confused: Programming... :confused: What That

if u explorer this site and web u will find few article on creating ur own date/time control so why don't u try to make one urself and then ask the problem about ur codes :) Computer... :confused: Programming... :confused: What That

hi its might not be a good solution but might help. what u have to do is add a field in the USER_INFO_TABLE named ACCOUNT_STATUS and have a variable in the form LOGIN_TRY. set the LOGIN_TRY to zero on form load event and on every fail attempt add one to it. when LOGIN_TRY=3 then set the ACCOUNT_STATUS to Disable and close the form. when ever the form is load its should checked the status of ACCOUNT_STATUS and if it is ok let the user try to login else reject it. to do the second thing have a Variable (Above Variable can also be used if coded carefully.) and set it values to zero on form load event then when invalid id is enter increment its value. when its has a value of 3 enable a timer with value set to five mins and disable all the control on the form so its forzen (what i understand the application will be runing in full screen mode). in timer event(didn't remember what has been a while sine i coded in VB.net :) might be tick or somethinglike that) enable the form controls and disable the timer after five mins the event will fire and its was start inputing again. ur thirds problem is autoslove when u do the first thing. hopefully it will work.

Use the keypress or keydown event of the control. if u want to track them at form level don't forget to set the keypreview property of the form to true Computer... :confused: Programming... :confused: What That

use keypress or keydown event if u want to get the code at form level don't forget to set the keypreview property of the form to true. Computer... :confused: Programming... :confused: What That

also make sure that after u have compiled ur project u rightclick on ur setup project and select rebuild option. if problem still exist try to remove the setup project from the projectlist and then add a new setup project.
