.net - How To Get A *section* Of Window To Stay On Top
Dec 29, 2011
Basically what it does is - you can mark a section of the screen and it creates a preview window for that section and keeps it on top of all other windows. I want to make a similar thing, for 3 reasons: 1. I can't use third party software in my office PC, 2.I can't afford it, 3. It will be an immense pleasure to create something useful, which I can share with the community.So, I was wondering, what would be the way to go about it.se dot net (probably VB.net)make a frameless windowet it to stay on topcreate a context menu to exit
Here's the thing. I play EVE online, and I want to use my second monitor while having eve stay fullscreen on the primary.Currently, any time you click the second monitor, and EVE loses focus, EVE minimizes itself. Can I make a utility that forces the game to stay maximized at all times?
I'm having a lot of trouble with the windows in my application to size correctly. As a sample, I have a container form (mdi parent), with in which is Form1 (with a datagrid) and a form that is only called when a cell in the datagrid is double clicked. I want Form1 to always be maximized so I set the properties as follows:
So when I maximize the parent window, Form1 maximizes and shrinks correctly... but when I double click on the gridview and the popup form comes up, several things happen: 1. Form1 (in the background) goes back to normal size (not maximized) 2. If I click on Form1 (when the Popup form is on the screen) the form disappears into the background... What I need to happen is for Form1 to always stay maximized, no matter what happens on the screen, and when the pop up form is on the screen, I should not be able to click on any form in the background, and it should never disappear into the background itself.
I am creating a custom config section that will allow me to manage what ELMAH exceptions I want to ignore from my VB.NET/ASP.NET app. Here's my code. I made it easy to paste in a blank code file if anyone's up to the challenge of diagnosing the problem.
CODE:
When I execute this code:
CODE:
I get the error An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for IgnoredExceptionSection: Could not load file or assembly 'WEB' or one of its dependencies..
What boggles my mind is that this all works fine in my C# console test app after I convert the code from VB.NET using a web utility. However, when I paste the VB code from my web app into my VB.NET console test app, it doesn't work there, either, so it appears to be a C#/VB issue. What am I doing wrong here?
I am new to dealing with SQL Express DB tables. I have a Windows application that gives the user a textbox that is bound to a value in my dataset (ds) which reflects my SQL table (Specs) field. The user can change the numeric value of the textbox and I can see by setting breakpoints that it created the new value in my dataset (I used MsgBox(Ds.Specs.Rows(0).Item(10) to determine this to be true). However, when I open the application back up, the OLD value appears again in the text box. It is like my dataset is not updating the SQL server table.
Again, I am new to SQL tables and allowed the wizard to create all my insert/update/delete statements which appear to be in place. Any idea why my values won't stick?
I have a document with 3 pages and with VB I always insert text in page 1.
The problem is that the text in page 2 always goes down when text in page 1 is inserted.
My question is: How can i do to make the text in page 2 always stay at the top of the page, and if it haves too, move down one page but always staying at the top.
My application is an Touch Screen HMI to operate some machinery using VB.net 2008. I am trying to get a button to activate code while touched then other code when released. I have experienced HMI's where when a button is pressed then slide finger out of focus the button stays down. This is what I am looking for.
When I am on my modify page and you scroll through the records with the Binding Navigator, somehow the previous records data stays on the screen and puts it into the next data. Now this only happens on my one screen with 2 combo boxes. How do I get my information to stay put so that users don't have to worry about scrolling through multiple records and screwing up the data?
I'm trying to get my splash screen to stay up for more that a second.I have used the code suggested by the book I have, the problem is that the book isn't specific about where the code goes.
I'm using the SplashScreen template. I've added the code in various places. Either the code will delay the splash screen from showing, then it flashes up for half a second, or the code will do nothing.
I have a problem where a form is loaded but the control does not stay with it and control of the previous form continues.
The code below loads the search form:
'frmBookingForm Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click If txtAccountNo.Text = "" Then
[code]....
why the control does not stay with frmsearchForm.If it was VB 6, I would have used VBMODAL to keep control.I am using VB2008 Express
I have made a program with a main Form and several auxilary forms. Is it possible to modify the auxilary form in a way like a msgbox. It stays always in focus, and you cannot interact with the main form. What I did find was the Form.enabled (True or False) method, but then the main form completely greys out, but I don't like the way it looks.
I'm planning to create a standalone problem that triggered by scheduler.When the program is triggered, I would like the program to stay on top all the time, even though user clicks on other programs.
I'm making a loginsystem and I want the form that I'm making it in will keep focus so if the "user" try click on another program there is running my form will take focus again, so the user cant get into the other programs there is running.

I've written a VB . Net 2003 Application.Same Application on various pc's works the same in most cases BUT occasionally on some laptops the controls will resize themselves for no apparent reason.Say I have a picture or tab control with multiple items on it on a form.Some laptops when my software is run will shrink these items to a smaller size for no apparent reason even though my program forces the size of the object to say 400 x 300 or 600 x 400.How can my application detect this issue and scale the object to the right size OR prevent this issue in the first place?
im looking for code that will let me keep a form on top with in my application, Like form2.vb will stay on top of my form1.vb, How can i do this i searched the forum and could not find what i was looking for.
I have a Tab control and placed a toolstrip bar on a tabpage. It was working fine staying on top of everything else. But now for some reason the toolstrip gets hidden behind the tabpage.The only thing I can think of is make a new toolstrip bar but that will take a ton of time and frustration since I will have to manually redo the toolstrip buttons and labels, ect.. Plus I will have to go through and manually change the codes for each controls event.So is there someway to get the toolstrip to stay on top like it should? I also tried a toolstrip container but that was a no go as well.
I am working on this project, as I am trying to set the control of 'lbl' to stay visible for 7 seconds before they will fade out.
Here it is the

The title basically says it all. What are the main differences between .NET 4.0 and .NET 4.5 and is it worth upgrading to .NET 4.5?Jordan St. Godard |Microsoft® Community Contributor 2011
I am using the following code to save 3 pictures. The problem is that after you save the first picture the save as dialog box goes back to the the initial settings, how can I keep it in the last position, in other words the last place the user saved too

I thought the restore directory setting would take care of that?
Im using MDI parent form with a menu script and then the other forms will pop on the form with the same dimensions and size (for a more tidy look).My problem is that whenever i open multiple forms they move a litle down So when i open a form over an openned form it screws all the design.Theres no way of when oppening a form over a form and the new oppened form pops in the same position as default? (same size and position so the design wont get screwed).Even if i close the previous form and open a new form the position stills go a bit down and the design gets screwed again )
I have a DataGridView in which one column has data that the user needs to align by adding spaces. For example, the first two rows might contain:
kumbu kuimbiu
And the user needs to be able to line up the letters that match by adding spaces. Something like this:
ku mb u kuimbiu
Now in order to do that with the DataGridView, the user must enter edit mode in the top cell, add spaces, hit enter, re-enter edit mode in the bottom cell, and then add spaces. Our users would like to be able to, while in edit mode in the top cell, hit the down arrow and advance to the second cell while staying in edit mode, saving clicks or F2 hits.
Is there a good way to do this? I have tried trapping the down arrow key press, leaving edit mode, advancing a cell, and then entering edit mode with the grid's BeginEdit method, but this does not do what I want.
As you can see thats a properties window for an object, but is there a way to customize the properties, so that everytime I create a new project some custom values stay the same?
I have an application with a "filtered" DataView. The Dataview is bound to a form through a CurrencyManager. The problem is that when I add a new record using CurrMgr.AddNew(), and then use the CurrMgr.EndCurrentEdit() before saving the new record, the currency manager will point inmediatelly to the last record. How can I ensure the currency manager stays in the new record?.[code]
Ho can you make a dynamic label stay right justified, so that when the label.text is filled the text starts at the right edge of the label and fills to the left? Currently the text fills to the right from the left edge of the labels location and tends to run off the form.
While using SelectionBullets in a RichtextBox I am experiencing some issues with FontColor and the SelectionBullets Color. For example I am selecting the entire text in the RTB and set it to FontColor Yellow - the font color itself is fine; the problem: some Bullets turn Yellow, some stay black. Would there be a way to have those Bullets permanently colored in black?
