Is there anyway that I can access all the properties of a control during runtime and
get their values. I dont want to specify the property name. I should get the all the
property names and their values. It is something like reflection namespace in VB.NEt
I have a sub (Sub 1)that passes a control to another sub (Sub2) Sub2 only knows that the control will either be a picturebox ("Pict1") or a rich textbox ("Rchtxbx").I want to put code in Sub2 that does the following if the control that is passed is aPictureBox:ictureBox1.Load("C est.bmp")However I don't know how to do this as when I type in "x" in Sub2, it does not default to the PictureBox properties and methods.Is it possible to use the name of a control and wrap it in some sort of ControlType() enclosure that identifies its type and grants access to its properties and methods?
View 1 RepliesAfter taking a few years off from programming, I decided to start learning vb.net. I have created a user control that contains a picture box. I added some custom properties to the picture box that will hold general string data from a database.
My problem is that the user control is programatically created during run time, and during this time a DoubleClick event handler is added for the picture box that is within the user control.
I need to be able to set the custom properties for the picture box during the creation of the user control, so that when the control (picture box) is double clicked I can read these values but am unsure on how to access them.
The picture box is the entire size of the user control, or I would just add the custom properties right to the user control and add the DoubleClick event handler to that. However, double clicking needs to be done on the picture box since it takes up the entire user control, unless anyone has an idea to trigger the DoubleClick event of the user control when the picture box is double clicked.

I can load a generic user control just fine in my WCF service doing the following:
UserControl userControl= (UserControl) new Page().LoadControl("~/UserControls/MyControl.ascx");
However i can't seem to find any way to do this

I'm making a control and I am trying to finalize my design time properties grid. I have several List(of Class) items as public properties and when I click on the design time menu (while testing the control) there is the word "Collection" and a button with an ellipsis (...) that brings up a neat pop up with the buttons Add/remove and all of the public properties of the collection's class on the right hand side. Basically for a non-collection instance of a class (with public properties) I'd like a similar button to show up. I know I could put all of the properties in the main control class and group them, but I like the pop up box feature. Anyway to duplicate this? (think font grid item etc.)
View 3 RepliesI've created a user control that is basically a Panel that contains 1 label,3 TextBoxes and a few properties that set/get some short integer values.During a form load event I display a number of these Panels.I then access the Panels name (and other panel properties) via a user-created handler for the panel's click eventHowever I would really like to access the values from the user-control's properties.
Public Sub load_Panels()
Dim pnlName As String
Dim x As Short = 69

I have my own class of graphic objects, and now I'd like to allow a user to right-click on one of those within the application and see a properties window. Is there a pre-built dialog or control for displaying properties at runtime? I'd like to have something just like the IDE properties window button for my application.
View 4 RepliesWhat I've done is create a User Control Library (Project) and I've added a single User Control to that project. The control contains a single FlowLayoutPanel, and I created a Property on the control itself to pass the FlowDirection from the Control to its FlowLayoutPanel child.
Build, reference, component appears in the Toolbox and everything works fine, but the property on the control does not appear in the Properties window when I go to edit it at design time.
I would like to be able to set Control visual properties such as color, boarder, flat style, etc. on the base class of the control so that as I add new instances of the control, each instance inherits the visual properties of the base. I have tried using Application Settings but it appears as though I need to reference an application setting manually each time I add the control to a form. This is a Windows Form question.
View 4 RepliesI tried it and get an error but maybe I'm tring the wrong way. Can a usercontrol inherate an application defined class ie.. could you inheritance a classic rect class into a user control to add the hight and width properties to the control without having to do all the coding all over again? Currently I just declair a private instance of the class within the control and then encapsalate. It would be nice if I could just inherit all the functionality of my classes into controls designed to implament the classes.

UPDATE:standard VB.NET puts modules in the namespace defined in your project.I had to type

how to create a module that doesn't wrap this into a namespace? Or have the view import the application namespace by default?
I have an application which is grouped in a MainApplication and serveral Modules (DLL's) The Main Application is basicly a Form with a NavigationBar on the Left Side (like in Outlook 2003) and an MDI-Parent. There is also a Simple Login Routine on this Form. I store the UserName after Loggingn to a Property. The DLL's holds functionallity and Forms for various Sections for example there is a Employee.dll which holds functions and a form to show all Employees.
On Loading of the Main Application I loop trough all dll's in a "Module"-Folder and extract NavigationItems from them which I add to the MainForms NavigationPanel. I don't have a reference to the Modules because I want to make it as flexible as possible so that it is possible to delete a Dll form the Module directory in order to remove the functionality from the MainApplication. The Modules could work also without the MainApplication if they are Complied as an exe insted of DLL of course. This works fine so far.

I have a problem: I want to code a program which can get properties of controls in orther program or other project (VB.Net project). I don't know where to begin?
View 1 Repliesi had designed a form with various controls added some days ago. Accordingly i had coded the controls. And today i didnt like the look and feel of the form, so i copied the controls for a while and then re-pasted it over a new control (panel). Now when i double click to see the underlying code of the control generates a new event. I mean i had a button as Button1 and its underlying code was under the Button1_Click event. But now its is like Button1_Click_1 which i dont understand. Is it due to formation of control array or what? I want the button to be remapped to Button1_Click event.

On my Bussiness Layer, I have something like
Dim object as New ExampleObject
Where ExampleObject inherits BaseExampleObject.I want to know how can I access ExampleObject Properties by reflection on my BaseExampleObject.
Something like:
MyBase.GetType.GetProperty("PropertyName").GetValue(mybase.gettype, Nothing)
Of course thats not going to work because this is not an instance of an object and if I instantiate a new object, I'll lose the reference from my Bussiness Layer.
I have the following code from a textbox leave event:
Private Sub txtdebt_Leave(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As System.EventArgs) Handles txtdebt_0.Leave, txtdebt_1.Leave
Dim txtbxName As String = eventSender
CType(eventSender, TextBox).BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White
search_index = Val(VB.Right(txtbxName, 1))
End Sub
I would like to assign the name of the textbox to the variable txtbxName.
I know it's within eventSender as I've seen it when drilling down but how do i get it out??
I have a navigation bar which is dynamically populated with LinkButtons by an ASP repeaterControl.I have no problem accessing, and setting properties for the clicked LinkButton. This I can do using the sender object from the fired LinkButton. Once a LinkButton is clicked, it is highlighted in bold.
My problem is to clear the bold property of the previously clicked linkButton when a new LinkButton ( another RepeaterItem within the same repeater) is clicked. I cannot access the buttons through their ID, since they all have the same ID within the repeater. I have unique arguments on each RepeaterItem (CommandArgument), but when I try to iterate through all linkbuttons, only static linkbuttons are found, none inside the repeater. See below:
Dim c As Control
For Each c In Form1.Controls
If TypeOf c Is LinkButton Then
MsgBox(DirectCast(c, LinkButton).CommandArgument)
End If
Next c
I made a program that is started and running in memory and minimized to the system tray.
When it is first launched it registers global hot keys in windows.These hot keys are used for resizing the current focused window. I'm trying to use it so you can hotkey windows to resize to half the screen, a third of the screen, etc... For instance, if I have two notepads open and notepad 1 is focused and I hit Ctrl+Shift+LeftArrow it will resize notepad1 to the left and half the size of the screen. I have notepad 2 focused and Hit Ctrl+Shift+RightArrow and resize notepad2 to the right side of the screen. So, I can easily see both windows at once.Now, I can successfully get the focused window handle when the hot key is pressed. I'm stuck at this point.
I can use the Windows API call:

View 2 RepliesI am trying to access the controls' properties on another form without having to modify the code of the other projec (the one containing the controls that I want to access) because it is already compiled as a DLL. In this DLL that I am trying to access, the functions/sub-procedures are all declared as private. Would there be any way of accessing the controls' properties without having to modify the DLL? Basically what I am trying to do is create a sort of console application wrapper for the DLL that would create a new instance of the DLL's form and then make certain checkboxes checked and click certain buttons. Basically, I am trying to automate the form as it currently exists.

I'm trying to build an app that will read custom properties set in an accdb file. Basically, I'm trying to build a Front End updater (Yes I know there are others already built, but they don't work the way I want). The Custom properties are initially set manually by pressing the Office button, going to Manage, then Database Properties and selecting the Custom tab.
I've got most of the code set up, but my sticking point is how to read the custom properties.
Following is the function I use within Access VBA to get the properties, but obviously this is not going to work in VB.Net.
[Code].....
I think I need to replace one or more of the 4 lines after the On Error (yes I know I need to change the Error trapping too). I'm guessing I need to connect to the database file (an accdb, btw) and then go from there to define the container and documents collections.
i am using vb.net 2005 and ms access, i have a column called accountnumber in ms access. i want to enter 14 digit number in that column, i am confused to choose which data type, because longint cannot accept more than -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
