Balloon Text Needed For When Mouse Curser Hovers Over An Object?
Jan 7, 2010
My project is working well, without any problems and I just need to add another feature, if it is possible.I'm looking for a way to be able to have a Text Balloon (I'm not sure if this is the correct description or not) that will appear when the mouse curser hovers over an object in order to display text, letting the user know exactly what this particular object does.For instance, the text balloon would say: "Download Link" when the mouse hovers over a picture or maybe "Opens Software Window".In one case it does "Open" a new window when clicked on, but I need a balloon pop-up text to say that it will open a new window.
I'm creating a type of drawing program. The user can draw a line, much like in word or paint, etc. But once the line is drawn (to a picturebox or bitmap in memory), I want the user to be able to click on the line and drag it around (translate it).
If I know the coordinates of the endpoints of the line, as well as the pen width it was drawn with, how can I tell if a certain coordinate (mouse location) is contained by the line?
My first thought was to take a mathematical approach, like get an equation for a line, and check to see if the coordinate belonged to it. But for a higher pen width, the line is thicker, and thus contains more points.
How can I tell what coordinates are part of the line? Is there some sort of intersect function in the gdi that takes a line?
I have created a menu using a treeview to launch forms when the user clicks on a node. To complete the look-and-feel, I have set up the nodes to look like hyperlinks. I'd like to have the cursor change to a hand (like the one you see when you hover over a link) when the user hovers over a node, however so far I've only been able to have the cursor change on hovering inside the treeview, as opposed to over a node. As far as I can tell, a TreeNode doesn't have events such as MouseEnter, so I can't have them handle the events themselves.
I am attempting to use this function to loop through the nodes and check the Bounds property of the TreeNode against the Point property of the cursor, but so far the If block always evaluates to false, meaning that the cursor never changes.[code]...
I have made a program that has alot of labels which i'm using as click events. Is there any way to program the labels to change to a different color when the mouse arrow hovers on top of it it?
I want to display a help message when a user hovers their mouse over a button.I think I need to use the mousehover event.What's the syntax for this event.
I have little Problem with my ListView. When the mouse cursors hovers over an item in the first column, all the subitems of that line dissapear. If I click in it, they eppear agein. Also, they appear, if I hover the mouse over each of them.This my code for DrawSubItem-Event. I don't have implemented a DrawItem-Event because that made it even worse.
Private Sub lvResult_DrawSubItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawListViewSubItemEventArgs) Handles lvResult.DrawSubItem Dim sf As New StringFormat()[code].....
I'm trying to create balloon tips (NOT SYSTEM TRAY) to pop up when mouse hovering over a button. Code: Private Sub H_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles H.MouseHover End Sub
I have got this code to return the curser and clear a text box after the contents of it has been added to a list box the code is in a Click action of a button:
Please advise with any info you might have. I have the code below. Everything works ok until I try out the select case. When I do a retry the curser doesn't set back into the password textbox so that the user can try again.[code]
I am using VB.NET and I am currently having a problem accurately reading the mouse position. In my code, whenever the user moves the mouse, I want to have two variables store the mouse position's X and Y value, however when I move the mouse over an object such as a picturebox or a label, it will no longer give me the value until I move the pointer off the object onto the form. Are there any methods that will give me the absolute mouse coordinates regardless of whether the mouse is over an object or not?
Right now I have a program in which I'm trying to read the mouse cursor position relative to the window form, but I am currently having a problem. It only works if the mouse is directly over the form, and it will not work if I hold the mouse over an object, such as a label, a command button, or a picturebox. I tried resolving this by adding handle clauses for mousemove over those objects, however, while it works for the label, it doesn't work for the pictureboxes. This is because the pictureboxes are in an array and are defined at runtime.How would I go about resolving this?
code in question Private Sub Form1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseMove, lblStat.MouseMove
So I have my program make buttons similar to the above, I'm going to have a button created at the point were the cursor is, as long as the location is a valid one. Now I have two questions.
1) I want to use the following code to be able to move around any of the new buttons that I place down on the form.
' a quick TY to Ronald_Hare here on the forums for posting this little snippet, as it does exactly what I want. Private oControlOffsetPoint As Point Private Sub Button_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
[Code].....
2) I also want to be able to change the back color of the button based on a number of boolean flags I will be setting. Is any of this possible without completely mangling things? I'm hoping there are some easy options for setting a button made on runtime to use a number of premade subs or functions.
On a side note: This does not need to be exclusively a button. a picturebox or a text box would probably work just as well for what I want to do, but I like the look I can get with the button atm.
Im currently in the mid of making a drawing project , and part of it is free drawing using Graphicspath object
now drawing is ok,moving or dragging the drawn path is done using System.Drawing.Drawing2D.Matrix but the problem is using System.Drawing.Drawing2D.Matrix object to scale the graphicspath object results into scaling and moving the drawn graphicspath on the same time ..
any resizing method code is listed below
Public Overrides Sub ResizeShape() Dim Sqrt As RectangleF = GetBounds() Dim Dx As Integer = MoveResizeEnd.X - MoveResizeBegin.X
I am working on a simple program which requires me to be able to select a picture box and move it to a new location by dragging it with my mouse. This is all the relevant code I have come up with currently. however, when I run the program it tries to move to where I want it to go then it seems to revert back to its previous location.
how i can disable completely mouse and keyboard input on a WebBrowser object using Visual Basic 2008 i have this code:
Dim CarImp As New DirectoryInfo("C:VSEPRN") If CarImp.Exists =
[code]....
i generate a small HTML file on a hard disk, put the AxWebBrowser2 object navigate to the file, all works fine, but i need to diable all user interface on that object. If the user clicks on object, the page reloads completely and i need to avoid that behavior.
May i know under what event i can set month calender object to invisible when mouse clicking on any where (mouse click not on the month calender object) on the form? Below is my code to set it to invisible when mouse clicking on the form.
But it does not really work as i have objects like textboxes and labels.
I'm working with a project that is WPF and VB.net. I want to visually simulate "dragging" an object (though I do not want to use standard drag and drop for reason of purpose).Basically, I have a label object that, on its MouseDown event, I want it to follow the mouse cursor inside a 640x480 solid-size grid (but not outside of it!). Mind you, this grid is centered inside a full-screen window. Again, the object should not follow the mouse outside of the grid (I'm guessing a "ClipToBounds = True" here)Then, on the label's MouseUp event, I want it to either stay in its current position or return to its original position, as determined by the value of a boolean variable set by another object's MouseEnter property.Note, if it would be easier to work with, I can change the grid to a canvas in a cinch. I'm guessing that would be desirable.
How do I make the object (label) follow the mouse cursor inside the grid/canvas, but not outside of it? This needs to happen on the MouseDown event of the label.How do I make the object "stick" in its current position? (From this, I can probably figure out how to make it return to its original position on my own.
I have two custom action listers. One that handles Mouse.Click and one that handles Mouse.MouseDown. My question to you is, can I delay the mouse down event so that it does not intefere with the code of the Mouse.Click event? I have tried adding a timer and waiting x amount then setting a bool value to true, but the code executes to fast and it skips the other code.
How to show a baloon tip in a certain cotronl, I like when my form loads there a baloon tip in a certain control like buttons and then automatically dispensary.
I have an application that uses a NotifyIcon in the tray to hide/restore the application, as well as pop up notices to the user of application events. My application has a notification queue, and I use the NotificationIcon.BalloonTipClosed event to determine when to reset the balloon and show the next notification (if there's one in the queue).
This method seems to work great in both usual causes (user lets the balloon close itself when it times out, and user clicks "X" in balloon to force it to close), but there's a third case where BalloonTipClosed doesn't get called:Notification balloon pops up While it's visible, user right-clicks on notification icon to bring up context menu, causing the balloon to disappear
The BalloonTipClosed event doesn't get triggered in this instance - I figure it's a bug in the framework (I'm using 2.0), but does anybody have an idea around this? If I don't get this event, my application always thinks there's a balloon visible (I have a boolean that prevents it from displaying multiple balloons at once), and it will never show another icon again, as long as it's running.
I have a notifyicon in my VB.NET application. At the start of the programm it goes to the system tray and adds some global hotkeys. If one of this keys is pressed, then a balloon tooltip appears. At design time I have set up the balloon icon as 'Info'. But when the balloon tooltip appears, no 'Info' icon comes up, only the standard balloon tooltip. However, when the icon type is set up to 'Error' or 'Warning', it works. Why this behaviour? (on Vista)
An another problem is, that I set the timeout property f.i. to 500 milliseconds, the balloon tooltip is even visible after some seconds too.
I simply want when someone hovers his mouse over a checkbox a "tip balloon" to appear describing what the control does?Using VB.NET with Visual Studio 2010.
I am wondering how can I show a balloon tip for my system tray NotifyIcon application QUICKLY. What I mean by quickly is not linger around for like 5 seconds.. I have tried entering 1. For example my code is currently:
NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(1)
I thought about trying decimals but if I remember correctly from C++ it does nto work or make a difference.. how to display a balloon tip that pops up for only 1 second then dissapears very fast?
