Im trying to add a custom combobox to the database, the problem is i cant figure out how to do it. This combobox has images in it, i had to find the code to put the images in it cause the .net framework does not support icon's in combobox's. here is the code i found, cant remember where i got it, i think from code project.
Spoiler
Public Class ComboIcon
Inherits ComboBox

With VB.net, I'm coding a simple application to get more used to the new .Net format.
I'd like to save all the information to a 'new' database file. how to create a database on the fly, once that is done i'll be able to connect to it no problem, but actually creating the file is proving difficult to work/find out.
Also, with vb.net and the newly created custom file, how can it be made to automatically open that information with the program?
Is there a method in installation to associate the file type with the new program? How can i check when the program loads if a database file has been 'double-clicked' (rather than just running from the .exe of the program) and proceed to load the data?
EDIT1 - Extra InfoThe windows application has many different fields and content etc, then i need to save that to a file that could later be loaded by 'double clicking'. I assumed the easiest way would be to create a mini-database for each unique file
how to specify a custom icon for display in the toolbox window when you create your own custom control? Something other than the dreaded "gearbox" icon.
View 2 RepliesI have an ASPX Custom Control which is supposed to load it's properties into an internal collection (defined with PersistenceMode.InnerProperty). Here's the ASPX

I am using custom textboxes and I need to be able to set the Text on txb1 based on the Text of txb2. I have simplied my code to the following:
Public Class customtextbox
Inherits TextBox
Public Event ControlReset()
[Code]....
So, when txb1 looses focus, if its Text is "fried", then it sets off txb2's ProcessAlert function. I had tried to change the value of txb2 Text in ProcessAlert function, but didnt work, so I tried to get it to raise an event instead, which then tries to set the Text property. However I still cant set txb2's Text property. The Text property seems to be set for the duration of the "life" of the Event handler. When I step through the forms controls within the Event handler, the changed Text value is there, but not outside of the Event handler.
I've created my own ascx control with button inside it. Now I'm using this control inside other control. (In my case it is a webpart). What I would like to do is program button.click logic from my custom control inside webpart

We have a ASP.NET web application written in VB.NET where we build content programmatically during the Init event.We make extensive use of user controls, building them on the fly, and I now want to start including SilverLight content.Is there an easy way of embedding a SilverLight application in a control, and then instantiating the whole thing in code, in the same way as you'd programmatically add ordinary ASP.NET controls to a page?The SilverLight component itself works fine when added to a page using the <object> tag but I really want to be able to reuse it elsewhere in code.Since I'm expecting use of SilverLight to increase in our application, and the asp:Silverlight control seems now to be deprecated, I'm looking for an alternative way of wrapping the content.
View 1 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 want to understand N-tier architecture like when to use and so on.Also I would like to know about user control and custom control.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to make a listview custom control based on the standard listview control that will allow me to drag a column header outside the standard listview control and drop it on a panel. I plan to use the drop event to determine which column I should group by view on.

I want to create a custom control in a dll file.
I can make this without a dll file, also inside a normal project, making a class for it and inheriting the desired base control class, compiling the project and the toolbox has the custom control.
But now I want to make it in a separate file, in a dll file. I use vb express 2008.
I start a new class library project, add the reference System.Windows.Forms to the project and add this code (this is only an example):
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Button
Private Sub New()
Me.Backcolor=Color.Red
End Sub
I compile the project and get the dll file. Then I add this file to the toolbox, but I get the error message: "this control has no components."
I'm trying to play with this: [URL]..I have no clue how to use it though.What i THOUGHT i had to do was open the project and "build" it to produce a .dll or something which i would then add as a reference in my new project. I'm unable to open the solution so i could not test this theory.
View 6 RepliesI have created a custom class, which contains a panel and a label on it. I added to this class a pcaption property, which holds the label text. This property is browsable and I can change its value.But when I drag the custom control to the form and change the pcaption property, it has no effect. Even the <Defaultvalue> has no effect. Why?
Here is the class code:
Imports System.ComponentModel
Public Class mypanel
Inherits Windows.Forms.Panel
Private panelcaption As String

Color values are unimportant, you can change it.
I have created 2 WPF control which reside in the same folder and i want to add one control to the other.
The controls are added in a Win Forms project.
the thing is that in a custom Win Forms control I can see my two WPF controls in the toolbox but in the WPF designer I cannot see any WPF controls.[code]...
I took over a project for another individual. He has created a variety of custom controls (which I have no experience with). So one of these controls is displayed as a combo box. (It is called ctlTechnician). There are 4 items on the dropdown list. What I am trying to do is to set the selected index to -1 (along with other things) when the user logs off so that the control is back to its original state.[code]....
View 2 RepliesIs this possible? I am trying to create my own "X" and "minimize" buttons on my form -- the only way that I can currently think to do it is by making my form have no border, and creating a 'fake' menu bar using labels and buttons for minimizing and maximizing. The goal here is to be able to have custom icons for maximize, close, etc that may not match the Windows default scheme.

View 7 RepliesI've been working with this for a while now and have finally come to you for help. I have a custom control that inherits from a label and I'm trying to use it in a datagridview. I have followed this example and have tried to adapt it to my needs.
The custom control in this case is a label with a boolean type property named Value. When value is true, the label.text = "ON" and the color is red. When value is false, the label.text = "off" and the color is transparent. This is the effect I need to show in the dgv.
I have attached my developing project and would like you to take a look if you can. The project has a single form with the dgv, the custom control and a button on it. When the button is clicked the value of the custom control toggles. The control on the form changes color and text as it should, but the cell in the dvg simple changes text from FALSE to TRUE.
I've not really worked with them before, well at all really. How would I go about creating a control which has multiple picture boxes, so then I can access each picturebox and refer to them via custom properties? I'm not aware you can draw several picture boxes and combine them into one control?

I am trying to add datagridview control in my custom control but i failed.I started creating new project[windows custom control library], added datagridview control on it and also added a property naming "DGVMain" which refers to datagridview control.I compiled it.
While testing i find its properties like visible and other working but when i click on columns property it doesn't work. i.e i cannot add/edit columns into the datagridview of my custom control.
Did i miss any steps or do i need to add some more actions?
In our IDE, for example, Visual Studio, if we display the properties of a System.Windows.Forms.Button control, we see some properties that expose anoter set of properties. For example: FlatAppearance, Font, Location, Margin, etcetera.I would like to do something similar in a custom control.I know the code behind is wrong, but here is an example of what I´m trying to do:
Public Class StateOfMyCustomControl
Public Enum EnumVisibility
Visible
[code]....
In my IDE, in the properties window of my custom control, I would like to see my property State, with the possibility of display it to set the properties Visibility and EventManagement.
is it possible to add a custom control to a datagridview column?
