[Code] I have a panel as the base of my custom control and I am adding other panels to it, along with a flow layout panel(myInnerContainer). I know the code above isn't going to work because when I try to add the regular panels to the main control, they will attempt to be added to the flow layout panel myInnerContainer, and cause a circular error. [Code] but intellisense doesn't display anything which leads me in the correct direction for adding only the buttons to the flow layout panel (myInnerContainer).
Is it possible to have a custom control (inherits from Control) and add sub-controls to it (like, a label for example)? Basically I want a composite control. I know controls can contain other controls, but if I try to add a control to MyBase.Controls, this doesn't work because that's readonly.
Updating a VB6 prog in VS2005 on Windows 7. The prog has an MDI + child forms and there are a number of content types, with varying numbers of controls being set up and positioned from setup files.On forms which are not child forms I can easily add controls at run time like this:
Dim lab As New Label With lab .Left = 0 : .Top = 0 .Width = 800 : .Height = 800
[code]....
This doesn't work on a child form, no label is visible. Can't see any obvious problem in quickwatch.

I created some custom controls which I use quite often and I thought if I add them once to my ToolBox they just will be there next time I start up VS2008; however, that does not seem to be the case! Each time I start VS2008 I have to re-add that controls (which is quite annoying!). Is there a trick / way of having them there permanently?
I am fooling around with VB for a while now and it is not the first time I created custom controls to use in an application. The situation: I have a database application (FormView / not GridView). The form is designed the following way: At the left I have a Panel1 with TextBoxes and other controls to view / edit dataset records. At the right I have a Panel2 which contains on default a custom control (a number of PictureBoxes mainly) to view / add / delete pictures associated with the currently viewed data record.
On a ButtonClick at a special button on the ToolStrip, I would like to replace that custom control in Panel2 with another custom control (which contains a search with different search possibilities), so, I basically throw out the PictureControl and load a SearchControl instead. This is the first time where I actually designed the custom controls within the actual project. In past, I always developed the custom controls seperately in a new project and later imported the dll. However, my first attempt just does not work and I don't even know where I should start troubleshooting since I don't get any errors.
I want to add my custom controls to the visual studio toolbox programatically (not manually by selecting "add items") with my own tab.How can I achive it? Is there any registry entry where all the Toolbox items are entered to be able to view in the toolbox? where exactly the toolbox items list is stored?
I've created a tab control and on one of the pages I added a button, but I cannot move the button around with the mouse!? I can change the buttons position within the tab control page using the property Location and I can size the button using the mouse and the button is NOT locked. I even tried creating a new project with just the tab control and it still does the same thing. I can, tho, move the button using the keyboard arrows!
I'm using VS2010 V10.0.30319.1 RTMREL on WinXP SP3.
I have a bunch of dynamically created controls by the user which I'm storing as a control collection in the session state so I can display them on every postback. Each control that the user generates is a div with other controls inside it. I have a button on each control that will allow the user to either delete the control or duplicate it.
I have a form named VBProject It has two TextBoxes and one custom control named MyControl which is created in another project.MyControl's project has a form inside, named Form3. When My control is loaded it needs to find all controls in my VBProject and add them into a listbox which is in Form3. Then Show the Form3. In the end ListView need to shows name and text of textboxes but it shows nothing. Here are my codes:
MyControl's Load_Event:
Dim i As Integer = 0 MessageBox.Show("Control Count:" + Me.Controls.Count.ToString) For Each MyObject In Me.Controls If TypeOf MyObject Is TextBox Then
I'm using a recursive search to find all of the controls on my form and then do something with those controls once I find them.This is the basic layout:
I have seen that BindableAttribute is used to decorate public properties in custom controls. MSDN briefly mentions that it provides the ability to control the binding direction and whether binding is supported at design time.
public class MyControl : Panel { [Bindable(BindableSupport.No, BindingDirection.OneWay)] public string MyString { get; set; }
[code]....
1) I set BindableSupport to No, however I could still do this in markup (.aspx).What does BindableSupport affect then? Does it hide the property in the toolbox?
There is a response to this question using C# - I am looking for a VB answer and the C# code is too deep for me. I have a custom user control and I have a toolstrip on it. I have certain default buttons on the toolstrip, but I want the user to be able to add additional buttons at design time. I exposed the Toolstrip.Items collection in a public property. I can open the collections editor in design time, but I cannot edit the collection.
I found a custom ListBox that, strangely doesn't have an InsertAt method and I would like to add one. The custom ListBox uses an object instead of just a list of strings like a normal ListBox. I was curious what the logic behind inserting a new item at a particular index would be.The only thing I could come up with was add the new ListBoxItem at the end, then using the specified index, I could either keep moving ListBoxItem objects to the bottom, with the Add() method, from that index till the ListBoxItem at that index equals the one added, or I could use that index number in a "calculation" till I know I've moved the correct number of objects.
1. I have a DataGridView box, that is connected to a MySQL database via the 'Data Source'. I am trying to do the datagridview1.rows.add("info here"), however i receive an error i cannot do this programmatically. I DO know the code to post to MySQL via the "insert into" la la la.However, I was curious if I can do this via the datagridview a bit..easier/simpler, such as a "datagridview1.rows.add(stuff)" sorta thing.
2. I am attempting to make a custom control, and as with ANY control, they have their.. settings. Example, a textbox, or label, has so you can set the Text. and color, etc.Others, have it (such as datagridview) have the little icon on the control itself, where you click it, and it opens a small window with settings.
I have created a custom control that has a few labels and a button on it. In my main program i dyanmically add this control to a stackpanel. When i add the control i add a few events for it by doing th e following:
Dim newqueue As New UserControl1 AddHandler newqueue.MouseDoubleClick, AddressOf PrintMessage
How would i go about adding an event for the button.click for the button in the custom control?
I 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.
In my form I hace a Groupbox1, within Groupbox1 have a Groupbox2, within Groupbox2 have a Textbox1..how to call the Texbox1 from another form? When I use Dim newControl As Control = Form1.Controls(Textbox1.Name) I get nothing value?if I use Form1.Controls(Groupbox1.Name) it can get the Groupbox1
I recently downloaded VB 2010 Express so i am quite new to the language, but i have worked with dark basic, which seems to b very similar.Anyway, my problem is that i cannot seem to correctly set out my array of a custom type/class. i am trying to create two arrays, one of available entities and another of selected entities of which the user selects the entities to be dealt with in irrelevant ways. i have creates a button (called test) which adds some entities to the available list and all the entities come back the same value but they shouldnt be as you'll c in the code. i have run the step into command a found that "available.item(#).Name = " will change all of the entity's names.As of current i am working with lists as the array kept asking for a 'new' statement but i couldnt figure out where to put it.[code]
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.
Iam using nested repeaters with Dataset (not using Datatable) to retrieve information by passing parameters. So far I have bind the two repeaters clearly and everything is working fine.Here the list of messages created by each user datawise(parameter passed) will be displayed, and there could be more than 50 messages created by each user daily, So now I want to do custom paging for each user.But Iam unable to proceed further, as the next, previous, back, first links are placed inside the child repeaters footer template and i coudn't access these links even by findcontrol method.
In the project I'm working on, I was editing a class and when I got done, I clicked save all. I moved on to my main form's designer. When it came up, the custom tab control I have on the form was blank. There used to be a ton of controls in it, so I am extremely confused about where everything went.I checked the properties window and it thinks everything is still there:ut when I check the Document Outline window, everything is gone. The tab control is still there, "AVERT Wizard", but all of it's child controls and tab pages are gone.
basically what I want to do is compile a program from my program(parent) to a seperate program(child) which is a module I have created.
When I compile my child program from my parent program I want to add a .exe resource to the child and when the child program runs I want to run the resource I added.
So I'm adding a tab panel to a child window. A lot of our controls here are user defined but this looks like an ExtJS issue. When I add a tab panel, and then try and add controls and stuff to that panel, everything is cut off on that panel.
Here is the code I am using:
Using ViewDetailsWin As New Pages.ChildWindow With ViewDetailsWin .IconCls = Model.WorkflowStepDefinition.SmallIcon .Ref = "viewDetailsWin"
[code].....
I can't even see the dropdown at all unless I scroll on the tiny little scroll bar it creates. It gives like a quarter inch on the screen to see anything inside the tab panel. There is no size property on the tab panel from what I can see.
I am using VB.NET 2008 Express. I had a project with a mdi parent and several child forms. On the child forms, I created a datagridview by dragging the necessary table from the dataset(s) from the data sources window.
Main form - PastorBase Child form - IllustrationList
When I try to debug it, I run into several errors from the code of the IllustrationList.Designer.vb file in this section [Code] However, the moment I make any change to the control by modifying properties or simply resizing it on the form, my change in this code is lost. So I am repeatedly having to change these lines (there are about five per child form). I am uncertain of what I am doing wrong. Should the dataset, etc. be added to the parent form and then called from the child form? Is there some setting I need to change somewhere?
I have a UserControl that contains other controls that I would like to be able to rearrange or resize at design time. So I have a custom designer for the UserControl that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Design.ParentControlDesigner, and I call EnableDesignMode on the child controls from within the designer. That way, at design time, I can drag and drop the child controls to move them, or resize them. But I can also drag and drop the child controls somewhere else on the form that is outside of the original UserControl. Is there a way I can limit the child controls from being moved or resized outside the UserControl?
I am still messing around with Cntrl/Copy and Paste from a menustrip. Paste is working fine. The copy is working to a certain extent. It will copy the complete text field from one control to another. how do I determine what is the selected text only. My code below:
Private Sub CopyToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles CopyToolStripMenuItem.Click Dim activeChild As Form = Me.ActiveMdiChild ' Determine the active child form. Dim activeControl As Control = activeChild.ActiveControl
