Adding Button To Titlebar (like Firefox 4) In .NET & WPF Or WinForms On XP Or Vista/7?
May 24, 2011
I was wondering if it is possible to add a button to the title bar in vb.net - I found a way to do this in one or the other but is it possible to do it on both?Here is the code that works if Aero is disabled (imports System.RunTime.InteropServices):
I want to make my vb.net windows application titlebar trasparent as like vista's windows titlebar. if i code me.opacity than it will make whole form trasparant but i want to make only titlebar transparent.
I found this question on StackOverflow. Basically, the user wanted to draw custom buttons on the titlebar. I tried the code and realised it works in vista/7 only when Aero is disabled. My question is, is there any way to draw custom buttons on the titlebar while aero is enabled? Any way of reading information from the current theme so I can style my buttons to match the already existing ones.
Here is a screenshot from my computer demonstrating the above concept. I got the additional titlebar buttons after installing DisplayFusion. And I know DisplayFusion is a .NET program because it opens in .NET Reflector. The down side is that the program is obfuscated. Not like I wanted to decompile the program or anything; I just want to add a button to my titlebar to do something else (like minimise to the system tray for instance). Below is the screenshot, proving the program is a .NET app.
I was just wondering if there was a possible way to add a custom button into the title bar using VB.NET. I've seen many such questions on Stack Overflow but failed to get a sure-shot and a working answer.
I cannot begin to explain how often I have tried to remove the Maximize button from the top of my form window.. I know that it can be disabled via properties, also that it can be removed if I disable both the maximize and minimize buttons, BUT I need the minimize button, just not the maximize button
It is a funny problem and I am wondering if anyone else has encountered the same problem using vs 2010 express on Vista Business. I can't tell if the App is running because I do not want to risk corrupting the sql 2008 express database.
i compile my form with the below code when i run it on vista work fine without any problem but when i try to run in on XP cant run... that happened with any XP machine.[code]when i run my exe to other Vista machines work fine... but on xp NO.
In WinForms, is there a way to add an item to the popup menu when you click on the icon in the forms control bar? Apps I can think off that use this is Chrome, and Command Prompt.
I have a WinForms application that I need to dynamically add controls to at runtime. I searched for this and I was initially led to the TableLayoutPanel (TLP).
what is the most robust method for adding a empty row (to select "nothing") to a ListBox?
Dim List = Enumerable.Repeat(New TABLE With {.Text = "", .ID = -1}, 1).AsQueryable().Union(From t In mainctx.TABLEs) ddlMangelKategorie.DisplayMember = "Text" ddlMangelKategorie.ValueMember = "ID" ddlMangelKategorie.DataSource = List.ToList
But this has some drawbacks:wordy must explicit write the Type (TABLE in this case), so i cant wrap this in a function have not found an solution, which works with anonymous types I.e. if I add a From t In mainctx.TABLEs Select Text=col1, id=col2 to the query, this method does not work anymore.
I want to manually add two items as "Active" and "Inactive" in a ListBox. When the user selects "Active", I want to get the value "A" and when "Inactive" is selected, I want to get "I". How do I do this in VB.NET.
For i as integer 1 to dt.rows.count dim subpan as new panel *Code for creating panel" Next
the problem is i need to be able to add event handlers to each of them including, click, mouseEnter and mouseLeave but i can't figure out how to index each panel so that they can be accessed and identified. i tried using a property but that didn't seem to work or i was doing it wrong.
There is a blue button above wizards in Windows Vista/7 to go back. How to get a button like this to my designed form in visual basic 2010? Is it possible or should I use an image for the button?
I dynamically create buttons on a form and use the button text as ids so that I can pass that to an SQL query to pull saved data about that button when necessary, but I also use an image over buttons that have information saved about them. What I need to know is how do I keep the text on the button from appearing when there is an image assigned to that button? By default vb.net shows both the text and the image and no TextImageRelation values allow for the image to take precedence. I tried changing the text color to transparent, but the outline of the text is still visible through the image. Is there anyway to keep the text value as it is but just show the image on the button?

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?
How can I detect the click event of the close (X) button at the top right corner of the control box of a form/window? Please note, I don't want to know about CloseReason, FormClosing, FormClosed or stuffs like these, unless they are inevitable. I exactly want to detect if the user clicked the X button of the form.

I have a button and inside my button I have an image control. When the users click on the image I'd like to animate the button so it appears the button was pressed. I don't really care whether the actual button press event fires or not--it's the illusion of a button press I want to see. The only options I see on the web involve writing directly to the Windows API--a level of complexity and non-upgradability I really don't want to get into.
I am launching a 3rd party application from my windows form System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:Program Filesabcabc.exe") There is a "SAVE" button and a tool bar on the is application. Is it possible to click the button on this application as soon as it is launched or click (Alt + F) on the toolbar programmatically without clicking the mouse or keyboard.
I'm working on a WinForms solution in VB.NET. It's been a while since I'm mostly a web developper. So what I need to do is to replicate the behavior of Microsoft Office product for the Cut, Copy, Paste and Undo menus and toolbar. Which meens, I need to enable Cut and Copy when and only when there's some selected text on the Form. The Paste menu have to be enabled only when the is some text in the clipboard.
Do you have any ideay about how to accomplish that ? I probably would have to check some event in the TextBox's to check if some text is selected (MouseUp ?). Then in the Enter event, I would check if there's something in the Clipboard to enabled Paste menu..
I have created a windows form with a crystal reports viewer, a combo box to select a report to view, and a button that I would like to (Print All Reports). The print button in the viewers toolbar will print the report currently being viewed. I want the button in my application to print all the reports without viewing them.
I have following code, but it throws an exception of type 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.CrystalReportsException' occurred in CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dllAdditional information: Load report failed.
