View 1 RepliesA user places the cursor in a table cell and clicks on "Table > Background Color" to edit the current background colour.Currently I have been able to detect the current colour (for instance a light blue) and set that colour in the ColorDialog (Colour swatches are correct and RGB values are correct).What I would like to do is enable the user to click on the "Add to Custom Colors" to save the colour. Problem is, it sets the first square in the custom colours area (which happens to already be filled in with another custom colour), rather than finding the next square that is white and set it there instead.
View 2 Repliesi am trying to set one of the custom colors of the colordialog to be the current background color of the form. i am doing it like this: ColorDialog1.CustomColors(0) = Form1.BackColor.ToArgb it is not working. note that i only need a specific element to contain the color. not necessarily 0, but perhaps 9 or 15

View 1 RepliesI am making a program with 2 players and I want both of them be able to select their color somehow. I know there is a ColorDialog tool but I dont know how to use it, does anyone know how to make a color selection box?
View 2 Repliesis it possible in winforms, vb.net, to define the specific custom colors that will appear in the custom color boxes in colordialog?
View 3 RepliesIf you are working on a project that requires non-standard colours for text, it is possible to choose your colour by specifying the RGB components in the boxes on the colorpicker or by moving the mouse around until the desired colour is obtained. This can be put into one of the custom colour boxes and used until the program is shut down. Is it possible to save that colour to the custom colour box so that the next time the project is run, the chosen non-standard colour re-appears in the custom colour box?

or - detect a collection of colors and then click?
I want to be able to isolate an area of my desktop (similar to a screen capture snip) and evaluate if it is changing. In this particalr case it is an appliacation I have (not mine) that flashes an icon upon completion
What I want to do is make a small app that will detect change when I am away and perhaps perform a specific action (the action is not relevant really - i can take care of that) Again,this is NOT hugely important, but if someone has an idea or has seen an app that does this, it would be useful for me...
I put this in the VB.NET forum because I write 75% of my code in VB.... so I chose this instead of a general area !!
Im developing a web browser and i got an idea of changing the background color of the form 1 so i made a form 2. created 1 combobox and 1 button. The idea was to change color of background and then when i start the program after closing it it will remember what color and start up same color as before? Here is what i did but it doesnt work:

Any way to run through an image and check to see if the image contains a red pixel.
View 3 RepliesI have a array of pixels. And I would like to Quantize them.
For Example
FF00FF,00FFFF stuff like that, but most are custom colors and are not a standard 256 color palette. So I need code to convert a color to a 256 color. I dont have any idea on how to do this, but thats why I came here. I do not want to use System.Graphics.Image.Palette or anything like that as this project uses arrays for images. I would like to if at all possible be able to convert a R, G, B color to 8bit, 16bit, 256bit and possibly use the HSL or NeuQuant method or something close to that, or maybe even some other methods of doing it. I do need to be able to do this for a single pixel, but I will also need a method for a array of them.
I would like to use a full range of possibilities for a color, such as 255,255,255 instead of predefined colors, like red. How can I do this in code. Me.backcolor=?
View 2 RepliesI am rewritting my application to conform to ms standards. We used to save all settings to registry for user settings, servername, size and locations.so we are now saving them into My.Settings app.config the only problem is that each time there is an update clickonce will isntall the newupdate but now all settings are loist and user has to save everything all over again..
I am trying to follow the book here but it seems i keep getting stuck somewhere. registry has worked fine for years but i understand we must move on, but if stuff like this happens then i just wasted a long time converting all code to conform for it to not work..
Add custom settings to the My.Settings namespace
View 7 Replies1. I can't find the file which reflects changes to user settings. This might be because I just can't find it (I can see a bunch of user.config files but they are all empty - weird!), or...
2. I'm not actually saving them when I think I am.
Regarding 2. - do I need to invoke
Is this all I need? And if so, why are my user.configs empty?
I have a question of VB event handler and color picker. Now I have a label, and I want when user click it, it pops up a color picker dialog and let user to change the background color of the label. Not sure how to implement this, can anyone give me a direction?
View 2 RepliesI want the background of my form to be the same color as the window frame color that the user selects, even if that changes. I selected System->WindowFrame as my background color, but it always remains a dark grey, regardless of what I have my window color set to. How else would I achieve what I want? I assumed I was doing it the correct way. Do I actually need code that gets the system window color and then apply it?

i have a project with different buttons when a user clicks a button the image of PictureBox1 will change.
i want to save this image that the user has chosen after he closes the application, so it will be displayed in PictureBox1 when loaded.
i am using Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express
the languge is VB
Within the application, I need to have two levels of access: Standard User and Power User,for example.These two levels can have the same access level within Windows.It is not my intention to elevate to administratoWhat is needed, is a way to have two different groups of users.ne group will be able to run the application while a second group has access to additional features within the application but not within the windows environment
It is my hope that there will be two user account types: 1) Standard User and 2) some other user type such as Power User or something else that will distinguish it from Standard User
Basically i want to send a created file over a local network via FTP. If the username/password/IP address is incorrect the application just crashes.
Is there anyway i can detect if the credentials are correct? etc.
Code I'm using to upload the created file is;
My.Computer.Network.UploadFile("C:lini.ftp", "ftp://" + ftpUser.Text + ":" + ftpPass.Text + "@" + ftpIP.Text + ":21/Usb0/launch.ini")
Recently while I was playing with VS 2008(VB), I have created an application for folder sync purpose... which is working fine. Then, I have created a windows service that does the same thing and it is also working fine(from application perspective). But, I have been trying to add some additional functionality to that new service. It keeps on running as long as System is ON.
But I would like to change the functionality to... as soon as user logs off Service should STOP, and should START when user logs into that PC. I tried to find some useful info online(related to my task) and all I could come up with was to add OnSessionChange(...) method to the service. But for some reason it is not working out for me(when I've logged off or other system events such as 'system lock').

in vb.net i am trying to save application settings but for USER but i cannot find the user.config file
when does this file get created?
i searched my entire hardrive. i also searched the entire project.
After running the following code (which locks the computer), what code must I be applying to see if the user has successfully logged into the computer and that "Lock Screen" I'd so called has disappeared?
Private Declare Function LockWorkStation Lib "user32.dll" () As Long
Private Function LockComputer()
LockWorkStation()
End Function
I will call "LockComputer", after that what do I do to see if the Lock screen so called by this function (after say 2 minutes) has disappeared or is still there asking for the password from the user.
I have a Windows vb.net project that does an occasional "auto refresh" based on a 20 minute timer. I want to avoid any type of auto-refresh... if the user has manually had any interaction with the program (mouse move, click, keystroke, anything) in the past 5 minutes.
I added a global variable "Dim g_LastActivity As Date" so the timer can detect that 5 minute mark.
Is there some place to put my "g_LastActivity = NOW" line that will ensure it will happen during ANY user activity? All mouse clicks, on all buttons, all mouse moves, anywhere, all keystrokes, basically EVERYTHING.
Forum software not detecting every previous action by each forum user?
I ask as I have had quite a number of "proposed answers" in the past.[code]....

View 5 RepliesI am attempting to create an application in an attempt so it could be run as the user and preserve individual settings, by this what i am trying to achieve is when the application is installed, it is installed once but each user has their own settings saved within their own profile - a bit like Office applications. How could i start with this?
