I need to build a custom WPF Control something like this
As I am new in WPF, I used the following code (sorry for VB.NET)
CODE:
Now
1) Is it the best way to do it, considering that I will inherit that control and need the same border on the inherited controls
2) Is it good to specify the default value for the BorderBrush (to be non-transparent), like I did?
3) Why my corners are moved with a pixel (not really right linked)?
I am using vb express 2008.How I can have border around a Textbox or Label and change the color of border. Like we have different border styles and colours in MsWord and other applictions. Also how a Lable can be made transparent?

View 3 RepliesI need some kind of control that let's me set a Text like in a Label but when I get my mouse over it (MouseEnter) it defines a Border Color and will darken that color (probably using some transparecy property) .
View 2 RepliesEven with <label>.forecolor = Color.Black. I find that my labels' borders are not {255,0,0,0} but rather {255,100,100,100), a middlish gray, Is there some system setting (e.g., themes, Silverlight) from which the standard label draws its color?( I am familiar with the sub-classing work-around, but have hundereds of instances that would have to be changed.)
View 3 RepliesI was playing around with designing a custom interface for a test application and I am using a custom image for a close button. I am using the FlatStyle properties to define it's look'n'feel. I've set the border to 0 but when the application loses focus, the border of the button shows up.I have tried to force the property to go 0 again when the application's "LostFocus" event is captured but doesn't work.I am also using a "rollover" method using MouseHover and MouseLeave events to change the image of the button.Using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.
View 1 RepliesI'm currently working on an application that I'd really like to be able to have a custom form border. I have it set up right now that the close, minimise and maximise buttons work, as well as moving it around. The issue however is that, although the movement is working, once it starts, it does not stop. So I can drag it around and it works perfectly, but if I want to stop dragging it around and click elsewhere, the form moves to the position from which it was being dragged.

I set my FormBorderStyle of my form to none.This is exactly what i want, except I ran into a problem.When the background is gray (background of other applications running in the background), my form tends to fade in with the background (Still active, but i cant see where my form starts or ends).
View 1 RepliesHow would I make my own custom border style? I want to make my own so that the program looks better and havign its own close/minimize button would be awesome also. Here is what I mean by it:[URL] notice it doesnt use the normal xp or vista bar it is its own? How would I go about doing that?

However, I cannot figure out a way to make the control re-size correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions or code examples of a custom control being re-sized to fill the entire control?

I finally finished all my labels and textbox codes for this button.But now I have to code it so that I will be able to click the button and it will calculate all the wrong and correct answers in the labels and then finally place the percentage score in the uiScorePercentagelabel. What I dont understand is how to calculate all the different labels as one and then show the percentage right in the appropriate label.
I have been using vb6 for a while, I am following a tutorial by MS to develop a basic application and a simple task cannot be completed for whatever reasons! The tutorial asks to drag the label object from the toolbox and drop in the tab control container. Then, go to the label size property and adjust the size to some different dimansion. Basic stuff, right? It won't let me do it! After I enter the new dimensions (which by the way are not large or very small), the label size (both width and height) resets back to its original dimensions! I have the vb.net sp1 installed.

I came across this great article on creating a custom datagridview column which creates a graph-like effect in the cells of a custom datagridview column:[URL]..Does anyone know how you would edit this to format the number in the cell as a percentage?

View 1 RepliesI 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]...
