Inherit From Custom Controls VS 2008
Nov 16, 2009Is this possible? Must be surely but I've tried and come up short. I've created a very basic class (person) with 2 public properties, forename, surname. My user control is databound to this class and has 2 textboxes to store the properties.
I've built the control and can add the user control to a windows form but how can I add to a new user control (Staff) which will show my 2 existing textboxes and I can add dateJoined datepicker also??

View 6 RepliesVS 2008 Associating TextBoxes With Custom Controls During Runtime
Feb 2, 2010I have a custom control that the User can add to the form. They can add as many of these controls as they like.When they add a control, I am going to populate another custom control, a textbox, in another panel.I need to figure out how to associate that new control with the previous one.So, let's say the User creates 3, let's say "Boxes", three TextBoxes are created. When the User adds something to Box1, TextBox1 needs to be populated a specific string.I know how to create and add the control as needed, but I can't figure out how to associate the controls, if that make sense.In order to distinguish the Boxes, I've added a label to them that represents each iteration of the box. The numbers start at 1 and increase from there.I was thinking I could use that to associate the TextBoxes and am working on that now.

View 4 RepliesAvoid Closing Of A Custom Combo Box Popup Window In A Custom Datagrid?
Jan 31, 2012I was trying to block the closing of a custom combo box popup window in my custom DataGrid. The popup window comes by pressing F4 or ALT+DOWN keys in my datagrid which is getting closed if I press the down arrow for the first time, after showing the first value in the combo box as selected. Next time onwards, if I press the F4 key and down arrow, I can move to any item in the popup window and select the item using keyboard and in that case, the popup window is not getting closed till I press the ENTER key or selection using the Mouse. Is there any specific reason for this behaviour or something is missing in my code part? [code]...

View 6 RepliesCustom Window Resize And Relocate
Apr 4, 2012How would I re-size the window @ a point relative to its parent location and size. I am using code from Make an unowned window's parent to my form, to be able to set a windows parent to panel1.
Dim proc As Process
' Start the process
proc = Process.Start("C:UsersDmitryAppDataRoamingSpotifyspotify.exe")
proc.WaitForInputIdle()
Dim tmp_hWnd As IntPtr
[Code] .....
This works on most windows except for ones that are customized. Maximizing the window will maximize the window to bounds of the actual screen bounds instead of the panel1 bounds. Code works fine with normal windows but not with this one. (Spotify Window.)

View 1 Replies.NET For Each Exception On Custom Controls?
Dec 9, 2011in VB.NET i have 2 custom controls, one is a TextBox and second one is a ComboBox.These have custom values like Bool _IsHidden and are added on runtime to a form.Now, at some point in the code I want to check if the _IsHidden is set to True or False and display that information. Since the user can edit this values when creating the control these are not set on creation.
So what I tried is:(all of this is on MDI Forms)
For Each frm as CustomForm in Main.MdiChildren If frm.MyName = calledBy Then 'this part is just to know which form called the form to create the object For Each cntrl as CustomTextBox in frm.Controls'DO Something
Next End if Next
Now.. if the first control is a custom ComboBox it thorws an error since it sees that it does not match the custom TextBox control..how do i get around this? By my understanding it should just go through all of the controls on the said form and just check those who match CustomTextBox control ?
Arguments For Custom Controls?
Nov 24, 2011I've created custom buttons in a .dll and they work fine, so I thought I'd have a go at creating my own sort of listbox to replace the standard one in my applications. It's basically a panel with a few labels and a button (eliminating the need to select an item in standard listbox then click a seperate button). I want to add these panels to a panel on a form, at run-time, based on rows in a db.
If I try adding any arguments in the New() section of the class file it won't let me use the panel in my toolbox. Is there a way to pass arguments to custom controls, I need a new custom panel for each row in a db so need to pass an id to it to specify records; or even load the records in my application and create a new panel for each record, using info passed to it to fill in the labels on it. Or can I create the panel at run-time and refer to labels within the custom controls, setting their .text properties that way?
How To Create Custom UI / Controls

View 2 RepliesResizing And Custom Controls?
Dec 10, 2010I'm not going to post my code for my transparentlistbox class, but here is a link to it.It's been working fine as is, until early this morning when I tried to set a different size.[URl]..For the longest time I placed a normal listbox control on a form and resized that, setting a new public variable of transparentlistbox to the same size/location as the original listbox, setting the visibility of the original to false, and adding the transparentlistbox to the form (me.controls.add).It looked like this:
[Code]...
Now, since I've moved some buttons around on my main form, I resized the original listbox control to be wider (same height though). When I tested, the transparentlistbox (code didn't change still set to original listbox size/location), the size was that of what I had the original listbox set to, before resizing?
So, I commented out all of the custom drawing/paint events/etc I could find for the transparentlistbox and tested, still stuck to the original size. I stepped line by line debugging and verified that transparentlistbox1.size=listbox1.size indeed matched the new resized size (but didn't actually resize)?
Last I did was comment out the transparentlistbox.visible and put back the listbox1.visible and listbox1 does indeed show with the new resized size? I'm not quite sure what to test next?

View 3 RepliesWPF Navigation Window With More Controls
Apr 26, 2011I'm learning WPF, and NavigationWindow in particular. I want to add stuff to the window, like a status bar, a favorite bar, etc. Unfortunately when I try adding anything, I get an error.
I'm hoping there might be a way that pages can be bookmarked as someone browses between them; let the user drag pages up to a favorite bar.
Something similar with the status bar; I'd like to have page specific information on the status bar, without having to have it on each individual page.
Is this possible with a navigation window, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Edit:
<NavigationWindow x:Class="Window2"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
[code]...
I ended up putting the status bar on the individual pages, so that I can more easily change what's displayed from page to page, but the tool bar behaves nicely with the frame.

View 2 RepliesCustom Controls Disposing & Memory?
Apr 14, 2010I've been working on a few large custom controls, and I noticed that when I use them, my memory starts ballooning. If I add a control at runtime, it increases the memory, but when I remove the control, it decreases less than it increased. However, it would stop balooning at some higher value. So if go back in forth between pages (which adds and removes the control), the memory would look something like this:
1,000K|5,000K|4,000K|9,000K|8,000K... 20,000K|25,000K|21,000K|25,000K|21,000K|25,000K... etc I know it takes a while for the GC to run, but the memory would stay consistantly high for long periods of time.
I tried writing a Closing routine, where when I called it, the control looped trhough its children and disposed all the internal controls, which seemed to help a little, but the memory after running the control and disposing was still much higher than before running the control. I also use custom event addhandlers. Should I remove all these as well. It would be nice if I received a little guidance on this.
