.net - Making A Visual Studio-alike Interface Document Tabs?
Dec 1, 2011
I'm currently making an dynamic interface using the latest version of DevExpress. I finished making the DockManager with multiple DockPanel in it but there's only one problem.If you look on screenshot #1 you'll notice that in the center of Visual Studio, there's no DockPanel (screenshot #2) container for those document tabs. Also, those document tabs CAN'T dock inside side panels, but side panels CAN dock inside document panels (see screenshot #3)
That is what I'm trying to do. You can see how far I am right now on screenshot #4.
So here's a summary of my questions
1) How could I make some kind of main document panels that are filling the blank space between my side DockPanel?
FOUND! Using DevX's DocumentManager as the MDI.
2) How could I make those panel undockable inside side DockPanel but make the opposite possible?
FOUND! Using DevX's DocumentManager as the MDI.
3) How to make the panels "maximizable" like this (see screenshot #5) when outside the main window ?
4) By default, the tabs are located at the bottom of a stack of DockPanel, but I would like them to be ALWAYS located at the top, would it be possible?
FOUND! Using DevX's DocumentManager as the MDI.

I'm trying to create an owner drawn TabControl that looks like the tabs in Visual Studio on XP (might look different in Vista, not so sure).So far, I've got the background and the blueish border, and now I've run into some trouble drawing the 'tab headers' (where the text is displayed).Here's what I got so far:
vb.net
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
Public Class cTabControl
#Region " Colors "
[code]....
Why isn't this working? How do I draw a border like this around a 'normal' OwnerDrawn tabcontrol, without the funky SetStyle method..?also, the DoubleBuffer ControlStyle (in the SetStyles method) option is not listed in the Intellisense list, but it is accepted when I finish typing it... Is that a bug?

My code is basically a file parser/editor and it handles most files fine as they hold a handful of records concerning family members. However there are a few files that crash when trying to deal with them. Here is the problem.Each family member record creates 3 tabs that hold an average of 3 group boxes each. Each group box holds an average of 3 text boxes.So each member record creates 3x3x3 = 27 text boxes and some files get up to 289 family members which = 7803 text boxes.
The problem is the rare file with 400+ member records = 10,800 text boxes which causes a crash due to using up all the window handles. Each member has a separate tab page (with 3 subpages) but really only a dozen or so member pages are visible in the GUI with scroll arrows to move through them so I was thinking of somehow making the GUI a scrollable window so the tabs get built, displayed and disposed as the user scrolls left and right through the member tabs.
The files are parsed into a 3d list DataList(x,y,z) where x is the page number, y is the group box number and z is the text box number. So all the data is available. The code then traverses MyList and builds GuiList(x,y) where x is the page number and y is the groupbox number with all the textbox.text linked to MyList(x,y,z) locations so all text changes are reflected in the MyList.
I already have a memberCount variable and I am thinking of building, say, the first 30 member tabs with the middle 10 being visible in the GUI. If the selected tab > 20, then dispose of the first 10 tabs and create tabs 30-40.I am thinking I will keep all the member tab pages so I don't have to deal with inserts and indexing problems but just dispose all the group boxes and text boxes for tab pages out of view. I already have a deep clone sub that clones members when the user wants to add a new family member and I am thinking I will have to add something similar when a tabpage is passed in for disposal, it traverses and disposes each text box, then disposes the group box for each group box on the tab page.Additionally, another routine will rebuild the group boxes from the data held in MyList(x,y,z) when a tabpage(x) is passed in.

I am working on a project which will include automatically filling out some templates.I plan to use word bookmarks to create the templates and then fill them in via VB.This would be no problem, but the problem is that I would like to allow other templates to be used.Is there a way I can open a word document and get all the bookmarks out of it?I need a list, so I can determine which ones I am able to fill out,then send the correct values.Here is the code I am working with if you need a refresher.
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Dim oWord As Word.Application
Dim oDoc As Word.Document[code]....
Basically, I just want to make sure that "full_name" exists in a document before I try to add a value to it, so I need a list of bookmarks in the document.

I'm currently trying to call a WCF service dynamically See here, therefore, I'm trying to understand what happens behind, when I add a service reference by the GUI of Visual Studio... What's generated..? An object is created and an implicit reference is created...
Are the references contained in a specific container, a sort of pool?

OK, So I am making a program in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. I have gotten all the forms and everything correct. Except the text color. I need to make it so when they reach the end and it says if they got it right or not, that the program changes the textbox's text color. The code I currently have is when form2 = the first word in the spelling test. Form2.textbox1 is the first place where the user puts the answer. Form1.Textbox1 is where the user puts the original word.
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
If Form1.TextBox1.Text = Form2.TextBox1.Text Then
TextBox1.ForeColor = Color.Green
Else

This code does nothing and there is no errors. P.S. If you need a copy of the program, you can download the solution here: [URL]...

I am just making the transition from VBA to full on VB net 4 using Visual studio 2010. I think I have the basics down but am struggling with learning the commands for windows/filesystem manipulation. The problem is as follows I am creating my first program - the aim is to accept a root directory, then go through each sub directory in that location and delete the contents of any files whilst retaining the folder (hope that makes sense!)

Single file for all interfaces or one file per interface definition? Balena & Dimauro's of book of 'Pratical Guidelines' advocates a single file called Interfaces.vb/cs to hold all interface definitions. Their aim is to minimise the proliferation of small files, where each holds a single interface definition.I can see benefits to both approaches. Does anyone have any strong views or experience that strongly supports one approach?

In C# code, we can just right click on the class name and then select refactor and then extract the interface for that class. I wonder if this could be done on VB. Im using the same IDE VS 2008

In VS2008, I can stub out interface members with the following code using TextSelection to insert the implement line and then "simulate" the Enter key by inserting a new line. However, it doesn't work anymore in VS2010.
CodeClass cclass = {Target_Class};
TextSelection txtSel = {After_Class_Declaration_Line};
foreach (string i in interfacesFullName)

I have to develop an application using MS Visual Studio 2005 or above with the following objective:
* The application should allow users to create as many new forms as they want and each form should behave like a MS Visual Studio WinForm. By saying that it should be a container for drag and drop of controls from the toolbox that I will develop....
* Once the user design's each screen to his taste by placing various controls on the form, he should be able to save the form as a screen. Of course I have to provide functionality for each of the controls such as if he drags a button on to the form, he should be able to specify what action it has to perfom when clicked when the application is put into run mode. Quite similar to regular windows form button.
* My application should have two modes: a DESIGN MODE, where user can drag, drop controls and specify what they should do when put into RUN MODE. This is quite similar to MS Visual Studio designer.
* Last but not least is to be able to access the application via the browser with the same look and feel his desktop version.

I have a Visual Basic project and when working and modifying code, the compiler will crash and then a message will say something like "Microsoft visual studio encountered a problem and was shut down." I've tried editing code from the solution and the project. Both produce the error. Usually occurs when adding an "IF...Then..." condition. May work for hours but then crash. Solution will compile and build.

I'm looking for options to fill a Word Document from either Visual Basic, or Visual C#. I'm currently using merge fields, and the code below to fill specific fields in a Word Document, but now I've run into a situation where I need tabular data pushed to MS Word. Is there anyway to take data from a grid view (number of rows is dynamic), and import it into a Word Document Table using a merge field or something of that sort? I have to maintain the format of my template doc, and would like to be able to control the layout of the page

In a while loop, I am writing a progressively increasing integer value (between 0 and 100) to the Value attribute of a ProgressBar control, when it disappears from the window in which it resides. I have verified at the time that it disappears that the Min is 0, Max is 100, and Value is a valid integer in range.

Does anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates
Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?

How do I disable the background compiler for Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008?
For my sins, I have to work on a large VB.NET project and it often locks up for 20 seconds at a time whilst doing the very helpful background compilation
I'd rather work blind between compiles and be able to do some work.
