How do I detect a left-to-right and right-to-left scrolling, whether I slide the scrollbar or click on the right or left scroll arrow? I saw that there was a RightToLeft property but I don't know how to use it.
View 2 RepliesI've been coding an application over the last few months in VB.NET 2005 and have noticed that as the application is growing in size, I'm beginning to experience some strange behaviour in the IDE.For example : I have a tabcontrol docked in a form with 5 tabs. Each tab has a panel docked to it with several buttons, text fields, layout tables, datagrids etc. Sometimes immediately after saving the project, one of the tabs will go "white" and show no controls at all. There might be the odd outline of a control ( like you get when a control is hidden behind another ) but the only way to get them back is to close the project and open it again. It seems to be getting worse as the number of controls dropped onto the forms increases. Looking in the form designer.vb file I see that there are currently around 8000 lines.Is it possible that the designer file is so large that its having trouble loading/refreshing the view in the IDE ?

View 2 RepliesI have a slight problem With an enumaration of child controls on a form. The following code will not get but about have the controls that are on the form. The controls show that the count is correct but when it goes through the loop it skips over some of the controls. If you run it through the enumeration two or three times it will get all the controls a few at a time. The solution uses two forms, one that has the controls and the other that labels are made and displayed on. The Tx is just a index to add a number to the label.name and rename the label. So each label is identified seperately. This works for all the the controls that are seen in the for each loop.

View 4 RepliesHow would you add Dynamic controls to your form, from an array which size may vary depending on how many controls the user has selected and has been retrieved from a database?
View 2 RepliesI have been working on a VB 2005 applications for the past week and now I'm not able to add a control to the form. It's a very basic app with only one form and I can add the control in design mode but it does not appear on the form in run mode and is on the verge of driving me nuts. Pretty new to programming by the way.
View 8 RepliesI have a simple form. In the top left corner I have a numericupdown box. Under that I placed a panel that holds a picturebox. I did that so I could use the panel autoscroll feature if I resize the picturebox to be bigger than the form. To set this up, I set the panel to dock fill. If I do this, it covers up the numericupdown box. The docking on a form is very, very sensitive. How can I make sure I set this up correctly.
btw - If I place the numericupdown box on the panel and I scroll later. The numericupdown box scrolls away also. I am trying to make sure it stays fixed.
Also - I looked to add the numericupdown box to a toolstrip, but the box is not available to be placed on it - This would be my first choice.
Been playing around with this and simply can't get it to work
I've got a form and I've created a button called refresh. The button is meant to do exactly that. What happens is that when the form loads, it checks the database for values. If it finds values, it creates a dynamic edit box related to the value.
I open the form and it paints accordingly and as I expect it. If I delete a value from the database then click the refresh button, it should re-draw the form and paint the background grey. The logic definitely works because I trapped the bit of code and it does hit the part where it's meant to set the background grey.
Now, I'm not sure I'm refreshing the form properly because all I'm doing within this sub is calling the form on load event: formLRQuadrantSchedule_Load(Me, New System.EventArgs)
This seems to work logic wise, just not doing what I want. So, I tried this (amongst several other things):
Dim dynTextBox As New TextBox()
Me.Controls.Add(dynTextBox)
With dynTextBox
[Code]....
Is there a way such that I could reset/clear the values of the controls in my form no matter what type of control they are, can be controls from control suites like Janus and/or ComponentOne?
I am thinking perhaps I could somehow get their base control types?Here is my current implementation but somehow I need to add ElseIf for the other control types.

on one of my form, if user press a button then it sync data with another database and it takes time. i show a hidden group box on form which show progress bar of processing. during this process i want to disable all the controls of the form so that user not able to do anything form until process if finished.because most control on the form has validation and if i do me.enabled = false, it disable the control but still use can click on any of text box and then depending on validation event get fired.in a nutshell, want to disable any kind of activity on form.
