Adding Custom Controls To A Panel Doesn't Work
Jan 27, 2010
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.

Want to use several panels on a single form and have them turned on based on what button you click. Think I can figure out how to turn panels on and off but I find it difficult to manage multible panels within a single form in Visual Studio.When I create multible panels they end of connect to eachother instead of connecting back to the main form and when you add child controls it is difficult to know what pannel they got connected to.

I am trying to add controls to a Panel in a loop, but for some reason they are being added from the bottom up instead of top down.In a little test program I am running this
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
For i As Integer = 1 To 10[code]....
And this is the result I get ... the controls are added starting at the bottom. I need them to start at the top of the panel, with each new control being added under the previous one. If I remove the Dock statement, then the controls just get added on top of each other.

I am working on a project for a handheld in Visual Studio 2008 where I need to add a group of labels to a panel that correspond to a record on the database. The record is a "Pass/Fail" Record. So, if the record is a "Fail", the failed items will be added below the main group of labels; therefore, many child groups of labels will be added below the main group, which is theoretically the header record. I am using a second panel to add the failed items. My issue is how to dynamically add, name, and position the failed item labels and panels. Below, I have included a sample of what I am trying to accomplish.

I'm trying to add a group of four radio buttons to a form. There are other radio buttons so I'm grouping them by placing them on a Panel. However using the below I just get the panel added to the form without the radio buttons... Am I doing something wrong here?
Dim arrRButton(3) As RadioButton
arrRButton(0) = New RadioButton
arrRButton(1) = New RadioButton

Code:
Private Sub btnMonSet_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnMonSet.Click
My.Settings.tweetMon = tbMon.Text
If tbddOccurrence.Text = "Just Once" Then
If cbToday1.Checked = True Then
lblPanel.LblScheduledTweet1.whenDate = Date.Today
[Code] .....
The goal of this code is to add a control to a panel in runtime. This MUST be done in runtime for the purpose I intend. The problem is that, when I add a second control, the first one disappears.

I created a simple custom controlled Panel for double buffering. When I use the control in my toolbox it works just fine, but when I attempt to add controls inside the panel those controls aren't staying when I move the panel around. My custom panel isn't acting as the controls' parent. I verified this by looking in the designer code.
I tested a standard panel on the same form and it works perfectly normal - as I drag the parent Panel the interior controls move along with it. It is only my custom Panel which doesn't seem to detect when another control is placed within it.
Here is my constructor
Public Class DBPanel
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox
Public Sub New()
[Code].....

I have a Data Repeater to which I need to add x number of images depending on their existence in the database.I need the images added within hyperlinks for Javascript functionality. In order to dynamically add the hyperlinks and images I have placed them within a panel in the data repeater and am adding them in the ItemDataBound event.The problem is that only the first image is being written to the datarepeater.[code]

I have a project with 150 (i counted) Items in the "MainProject Components" area of the toolbox panel.These 150 classes are mostly database related objects like table adapters, and datasets that i hardly ever use. I also have about 10 custom classes that i use often.When i need to access the toolbox, I have two issues that i would like to resolve.
1.How do i organize the toolbox to separate my custom controls from the table adapters and datasets?
a.I have created a custom tab within the toolbox.
b.I have dragged and dropped my controls into this new area.
c.All is well until I exit my program and re-open it. Voila they're all back in the MainProject Components" tab.
2.How do I force the IDE to instantiate the toolbox panel as completely collapsed?

I'm copying code from one VB project to another PC but the 'datagrid' on the copy insn't inserting into the new PC. When the form loads the datagrid is missing. The error I got was that there was something missing from the machine. When I tried to add the datagrid using the 'Additional Controls' it doesn't seem to exist. Any chance I can download the control? The version of VB is 6.5 and its part of a graphics package I'm using.

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.

[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).

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?

When a user is editing a given piece of data, they're allowed to add messages/comments. These are stored as child records in a SQL database. Clicking on the Add Message button brings up a panel (pnlMessage) courtesy of the AJAX ModalPopup Extender. This takes some input and, when the "Send Message" button in the panel is clicked (I learned the hard way to NOT make that the 'OkButton' property), the message is stored in the database and an email is sent to the intended recipients. No problem there.
However, I need to be able to allow the user to add new email addresses (so long as they are registered in our database). I have another ModalPopup / panel combo (pnlSearch) that's tied to a button on the previous panel (pnlMessage).
The user is supposed to be able to add an email or click on a search button to populate a list to choose from.
The pop-up panel (pnlSearch) comes up just fine, but clicking the "Lookup" button (which instigates the search and returns a collection of records that the user is supposed to pick from) closes the panel.
Previously, I ran into the problem of having the Button.Click event never firing when I put the Button into the "OkControlID" property (the CancelControlID works fine since I don't want to do anything). Removing the "OkControlID=Button" line allowed it to work perfectly with the Button.Click event firing as expected.
So now I have the Search panel with a button for "OK" and a button for "Search" - but the panel should stay up and visible after the Search.Click does it's thing. Am I missing some property that basically says "don't close the panel when this button is clicked"? Of course, if I bring up the panel again in the same session, the results from the previous effort are there (the search results).

I have an application that requires data be entered, and after entering, a button is clicked to process that data. Clicking the button works just as it should--the data is processed properly. In constructing a test module, I provide a set of data values, followed by:
btnWhatever.PerformClick()
Nothing happens. I have used this syntax for years, and it has always worked flawlessly. I have triple checked everything else and isolated the problem to the failure of the PerformClick(). The PerformClick() is in a test subroutine that does nothing but fill textboxes and labels with default data, then calls the PerformClick() on the button to begin processing. Again, the button works fine, the data is entered as it should be, but the PerformClick() does not fire the click event.

I am rather irritated at this. I have no clue why looping through controls on a form and in groupboxes leaves out 75% of the controls.
Here's the code I have:
Dim settings As String = ""
Dim gbControl As Control
Dim gbbox As Control
[Code]....
I want to have setting save all settings to an ini file, and not have to reprogram the saving routine when I add a group box or control. At random times, any number of controls can be disabled, checkboxes can be checked and unchecked, radiobuttons can be checked and unchecked. Regardless of the state of the control, I want the control to show up in the loop. But they don't. Only controls that are enabled and only checkboxes that are checked, every other control state is ignored. That's crap, and is definitely not what is needed by any programmer of any type. We're capable of determining if a control is enabled, hidden, checked, visible, and otherwise.
How do I get the controls to be included in the loop regardless of their state?

In VB6 I could embed a panel or picturebox containing controls or images within an outer panel or picturebox. If I moved the outer control then the embedded panel would move with the outer panel and stay in the same relative position, which is what I require. This doesn't seem to happen in VB.NET, the internal panel stays fixed in its location, even if I have pasted this panel within the outer container. Is there are trick to this or do I have to code to get the internal panel to move with the outer one? How does an internal container remain embedded within an outer one?

I don't know what is wrong here. Firstly It is Winforms application using .net 2.0.
I have a Panel (backcolor set to Transparent, I want it to be see-through).
At run-time I want to overlap this panel on controls, show a new panel over it (as to make it feel like a model dialog). but the panel is not rendered transparent.

i'm not a pro with vbnet and could use a little help on this personnal project. I'm a bit confounded about how to proceed. I'm creating some kind of gameboard for a figurine game a friend create. In the background of my form, I have a panel which is called gridPanel, create by 100x100 square in tile background format.
i want that when I double click on the grid, a semi-transparant picture box frame (called Target) appear so everyone knows what you are targetting, which I handled like this : private Sub Targetting(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles gridPanel.MouseDoubleClick

Has anyone succeeded in creating a class library solution/project in VB.net VS2010 4.0 Net Framework for COM to run on WindowsXP Excel 2003. I created a dll which changed specific data in an excel worksheet. The dll worked just fine on the development computer but wont work on any other. I downloaded .NET 4 framework onto the target PCs and used RegAsm.exe to register both the .dll and .tlb files in the registry. That worked OK and the dll is visible as a reference in excel and can be ticked. The error message I get is RunTime Error -2147024894(80070002): Automation Error The System cannot find the file specified.
I also tried creating a Setup and Deploy project in the original development solution but this created just a vbproj setup file which the target PC cannot read (no VS installed), I hoped the project would create an EXE file I could use. Does anyone know any links that describe how to do this type of stuff as most links I have tried are either for Windows Forms projects are are way above my knowledge. Maybe someone out there has already succeeded with this sort of activity?

I have Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition. I'm using it to evaluate functionality before purchasing the real thing, but I'm having trouble. I want to build a DLL that can be used on PCs other than my development PC, that I can call from VBScript.
I follow the hundreds of examples out on the intranet and things still don't work.I have built a simple HelloWorld DLL with a function that returns "Hello World".I've been through all the stuff about making the assembly COM visible, and the threads about Register for COM Interop checkbox missing. One person suggested editing the .vbproj file and adding a tag to turn on Regiser for COM Interop (which was not needed because it was already there).
Anyway, if I build my project and run my VBScript:
Set testdll = CreateObject("HelloWorld.Class1")
wscript.echo testdll.HelloWorld()
Everything works great. But....if I copy the DLL to another PC and register it with RegAsm, the VBScript fails with a "File not found" error on the CreateObject line of the VBScript.
In fact, if I unregister the DLL on my development PC and then register it with RegAsm, the VBScript now fails on my development PC. RegAsm said everything was okay and if I look in the registery using RegEdit, things look good, but it still doesn't work. The only way to get it to work again is to rebuild the DLL (which in turn, registers the DLL).
I'd like to be able to build a DLL which I can be registered and used on other PCs (without requiring those PCs to have Visual Studio 2010 EE and without requiring them to have the source and build the DLL).
