@lucky, Its been long hope u aight! I need a lil help and hope u can b of assistance,
I would like a form to load immediately at system startup, Its to provide a custom login, The problems I have are -
1. Code to make the form load immediate u put on d system
2. To prevent closure of d form using alt + f4.
Thanks 4 your help.

To disable Alt+F4 from closing your form.

Public Class Form1
Dim closedForm As Boolean = False

Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
e.Cancel = closedForm
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Alt Or e.KeyCode = Keys.F4 Then
closedForm = True
Else
closedForm = False
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseMove
closedForm = False
End Sub
End Class

You can make so by allowing your program to run as service or application.
To make your program run like application;
To Make a program start as soon as the system starts, copy it to the startup on your program menu manually.
I will late wrote and send to you hw to make service based programs.

Take care and bye for now.

thanks a lot,
i'll be waiting for the other post.

Question 1:
Your question requires little know logic otherwise known as database normalization.
You have to build a database followed by two tables ,namely eg tblState and tblLGA

Am using MYSQL datatypes please,check for the equivalent in SQL server.
with the follwing fields

tblState
StateID=Auto Increment ID
StateName= Varchar(100)
RecordStatus=tinyInt default=1

RecordStatus will help you to stop or allow a particular State from being displayed.

tblLGA
LGAID=Auto Increament ID
LGAName= varchar(200)
StateID=Int
RecordStatus=tinyint default=1

RecordStatus will help you to stop or allow a particular LGA from being displayed.

U may use database connection wizard.

You may decide to show fill the record in another combo or datagridview

dim Server_name as string ="<servername>"
dim Database as string ="<database name>"

dim _ConnectionString as string= "Data Source=" & Server_name & ";" & "Initial Catalog=" & Database & ";" & _
"Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False"

dim _CommandText as string="Select Statname from tblState where recordstatus=1
dim ds as new dataset
Dim OleDb As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(_CommandText, _ConnectionString)
OleDb.Fill(ds, "Table"

combostate.datasource=ds.Tables(0)


For LGA fill

double click at the combostate state control
and in selectedindexchange event enter the following codes;

Private Sub combostate_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboAbnormalDigit.SelectedIndexChanged

dim W as string ="Select StateID from tblState where StateName='" & combostate.text & "'"
dim stateID as int32=val(getSingleValue(w))

_CommandText="Select LGAName from tblLGA wher StateID=" & stateID & " AND Recordstatus=1"
dim ds as new dataset
Dim OleDb As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(_CommandText, _ConnectionString)
OleDb.Fill(ds, "Table"

comboLGA.datasource=ds.Tables(0)
End Sub

Public Function getSingleValue(_CommandText as string ) As String
dim da as new dataset
Dim OleDb As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(_CommandText, _ConnectionString)
OleDb.Fill(da, "Table"

Try
If da.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0 Then
Return IIf((da.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item(0) Is DBNull.Value) = True, "", da.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item(0).ToString)
Else
Return ""
End If

Catch ex As Exception

End Try

Return ""
End Function

Hope this helps

thanks a million lucky just checked and saw ur message now i'll try it and get back to u very grateful.

Good, waiting incase if u have any more question

Am back, was busy with many projects.
You can ask your questions and I will attend to them now.
Thanks

Hope no more questions

Later I will post windows service I downloaded and modified for anyone who may need it.

I need help to writing a question and answer program dat can be interactive. something like who wants to be a millionair.
how possible is it.

Very much possible.
You have to design your programs.
You have to gather questions and answer.

You must modeled your database in a way to contain questions and answer and score and again you design logic that will tell you the step where the person will get to and once fail will fall back.

Then you build logic that guess your answer. These should accompany each question.

After modeling the database, then you have little work to do.
