View 16 RepliesI'm using VB 2005 .NET and I wanted to make my applications look better.I found lots and lots of applications for win XP that look like Vista.For example like Windows Live Messenger.
View 4 Repliesmy application has "picked up" the old style button design. In Vista the buttons have a slight shadow / 3d effect, however, my application appears not be using the default style and instead applying the older XP, Win98 typ appearance. At first it didnt bother me, however, not its annoying and rather than rip all my code out and apply it to a new project, i would prefer to remove the offending code call.
Its a long shot, but i thought i would see if anyone here knew what might be causing it?
I see many programs using a menu strip similar to the folowing: My grey menu style just looks ugly... I guess I should not use the image as background, because XP has other style menustrips, so it must be some sort of menu strip. How can I make a menustrip with that style?

I am been working on an a small app that has a Forms.Webbrowser control that navigates to a Adobe Flash program. I have developed the app on Vista 32bit platform and have had no problems. I have sent the app to a couple of people to test out and one is using Vista 64bit and is running into a problem. I know the webbrowser control just uses the underlying base framework of IE. The problem on the 64 bit machine is when the site is navigated to it says that it needs to have Flash installed. When the user goes to Adobe's site it says they need to use a 32bit browser.
As stated on Adobe site here:[URL] the Flash player need to be in a 32 bit browser. What options do I have to be able fix this problem? Is there another control that I can use that would be the same in a 32bit platform and 64bit platform? Besides navigating to the Flash program, the browser also goes to standard web pages.
I am trying to make a style that only gets applied if the parent element of the element that the style refers to, has another specific style. Kind of like in CSS where you can do ".class1 .class2" to specify that the "class2" theme only applies if it is within an element with the class "class1". I do not wish to use any form of external DLLs or libraries for this task. I want to know if it's possible to implement on my own.
I've tried using MultiTriggers with no luck. I have a style that applies to all TextBlocks. I want the textblock to do the following: If the font-size of the textblock is 11 and the parent element's style is "PinnedSuggestion", set the foreground color to "#FF505050". If the font-size of the textblock is 11 and the parent element's style is "Suggestion", set the foreground color to "#FFCCCCCC". The conditions that I have tried to write to make this work, are as follows (the font-size condition is true, but the other one is not). The conditions are inside a style that applies to all textblocks in general.

I am creating an application and am very new to VB. I have 4 buttons on my form which is like my applications main menu. I would like that each of the buttons behaves in the following way when there is a mouse rollover: The Button back color is changed from the default to Red The Button text is changed to Blue, Bold, and increases in font size I would also like all the buttons to go back to their initial state when the mouse leaves.
Another thing, instead of me writing code for each of the buttons event handlers (Mouse Hovers, and Mouse Leaves) is there a way I can write this code once, maybe as a function and then always call it for any button that I create from here on so that any new buttons take on this behaviour.

View 3 RepliesI've been professionally writing VB.NET software for seven years. However, I don't have a strong computer science background - four courses while studying education at university in the 90s that gave me some CS basics and exposure to Pascal, C and Lisp. Anyway, there are a whole bunch of practices that I'm missing - testing, patterns, "real" object-oriented design, etc and I'm trying to pick them up. If you look at most of my applications, you find blocks of fairly old-school procedural code being triggered by form events. Where I write my own classes, I'm mostly using them as data-structures with overloaded New() methods and maybe a custom output method. I consider myself quite proficient at this kind of work and none of my employers has had any problems with it. But it's not really right and I'd like to learn more of the craft of my trade.
Since the early 90s, I've looked at several different intro to objects kind of documents -- books, tutorials, etc. They seem to all use dogs and cars as analogies and examples with tons of responsibilities per object. And they've never stuck with me even as I wanted to learn from them.Lately, I've been reading "Uncle" Bob Martin's notions of OOD and I like what I see. But it's hard for me to follow the C/Java syntax and I get hung up on that difficulty rather than just ingesting it smoothly. So I'm looking for good sources with VB examples because that is (by far!) the syntax with which I am most comfortable. There's not much around. The stuff that I find doesn't seem to advocate or exemplify e.g. the Single Responsibility Principle.
I've been looking for books, but they mostly seem like they're either OOP and not in VB or VB and not (really) OOP. I've checked out the following topics here: 1, 2 and 3 -- among others. I've scrutinized the Amazon reviews of most of the books listed in those threads and keep coming up with reasons to suspect that they aren't really what I'm looking for.
So, any ideas? If you're going to suggest a book, I'd like to hear how well it fits the needs that I've outlined. If you think I'm on the wrong track, I guess I'd be interested to hear why. If you have other suggestions on how to pursue this avenue of improvement, that too would be great.
I have an app, which has a form. a tab is at the center of the form. the tab is a normal tab, and it has 3d style. today, I was adjusting something, and forgot what I changed. suddenly, all controls become flat style. especially, I have datagrid in the form. in the grid, one cell is a dropdownlist style. before i can change how many items to show when is clicked. now, it does not change. now, even I add a control on another form which is in the same app, the style is flat too. what can cause this? very weird.
