Best Way To "highlight" A Selected Panel?
Apr 27, 2012
I've got several rectangular panels in a row on a form, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to "highlight" each panel whenever the user clicks on it (so that the user has a nice visual representation of which panel is currently "selected"). And whenever they click on a different panel, the previously selected panel should be "un-highlighted", and the newly selected panel should be "highlighted", etc. And if they click on something other than a panel, then none of the panels should be highlighted.
I think the best way to "highlight" a panel would be to change the color of that panel's border from black to yellow. But unfortunately, it appears that the color of a panel's "border" cannot be changed (not that I could figure out, at least).

I have a form1 with a splitcontainer. I have put a button on the left panel, whenever user click the button, form2 will be displayed in the right panel.The question now is, i am not allowed to highlight the textbox in form2 with mouse. But i still can use the keyboard to highlight.
1) Replace textbox with richtextbox
2) set formborderstyle to Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None.
The code i am using to open the form in panel:
B_frmMaintain.TopLevel = False
Me.scMain.Panel2.Controls.Add(B_frmMaintain)
B_frmMaintain.Show()

I have a datagrid pulling data from a database and displaying it. I need to be able to highlight a row when a row is selected. I have looked over the internet and found using a checkbox is best. However the users don't want this as it is not intuative enough. They want to click anywhere in the row, and highlight it like you would in a windows based system.
I have added the following code in the item created event
e.Item.Attributes.Add("onclick", "this.style.backgroundColor=''Green")
however i need some way of deselecting this when they click on another row.

I have a Listview that will display all System Services on the local machine. I also have settings to change states of the services as a group as well as single selected item. My question is, Is there any way when the user selects which option to change, to highlight all the services that were changed in the listview, making it easier to see what the user has changed .

I am not sure if it is possible, but I would like to be able to provide a custom "SelectedHighlight" color when an item is selcted in both a treeview and a listview (Better yet, any) control.
While I am a fan of sticking with established convention in most cases, There are times and places when I would like to do this.
A. Is it possible to do this? And by possible, I am looking to Override the Default system SystemHighlight at runtime, for only a particular control. I am NOT looking to change global system settings (at least, outside of any time when the particular control has the focus.
B. I haver tried a few searches, and I will contiinue (Try searching for any combination of "System", Color", "Selection", and "Highlight" and see what comes back!).

The code below creates a highlight rect on each of the selected items in a listbox. How can I do the same without selection but rather on mousemove above an item?
Private Sub ListBox1_DrawItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs) Handles dialogue.DrawItem
If e.Index <> -1 Then
e.DrawBackground()
If (e.State And DrawItemState.Selected) = DrawItemState.Selected Then

I would like to add an effect where a panel sweeps out of the way to make room for another panel. This is sort of like a sliding effect, and I think at one point in time this could be seen on Apple's website under their product pages. I came up with some code, but it isn't working.

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 a TopBar, A LeftBar, A VScrollBar, A HScrollBar and a Panel inside a SplitContainer Panel.The issue I'm having is that when my SplitContainer Panel is small enough to enable one of the ScrollBars, I will slide the ScrollBar and then when I resize the Split Panel, my Panel1 is staying where I scrolled it too.I'm having troubles thinking of the correct code to fix this.

I'm working on a visual studio 2008 VB.Net project (.net framework 2.0), and am having some trouble with the Panel control using a fixedsingle border. As a small example of the problem, suppose I have one Panel2 contained inside of Panel1. If the Left position of panel2 is set to 0 (meaning it's border is up against the left edge of Panel1), the left border will show as bold, and slightly indented.
<Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()> _
Partial Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form[code].....
What I'd like to see is just a single line, not bold or indented, where the two panels borders are equal.Is there a property or custom paint technique I could use to achieve this behavior?

This is for a mapping/plotting program.
t.panel is the main panel and it has too much content to fit in one screen so there are scroll bars. x.panel contains the horizontal scale for the data points in t.panel. I drew the scale using a bitmap and set it as x.panel's background.
Setting x.panel's horizontalscroll.value = t.panel's horizontalscroll.maximum doesn't seem to work. I think this is because x.panel's doesn't have any content that causes it to need scroll bars.

I have a problem with a certain panel in another panel.
I have declared a panel on my mainform that is called panel1 ( dock: fill)
In this panel is another panel ( panelmain )with size 10.000, 10.000 pixels. Now I put the auto scroll property of panel1 to true, so then the panel1 has scrollbars on both sides and can show the whole panelmain.
Now the user has the ability to zoom, which basically means that I just scale Panelmain with all it's child controls.
Like Panelmain.Scale(0.95) ( To zoom out )
And panelmain.scale( 1.05) ( To zoom in)
This works well, but when the user is using the scrollbars in panel1 and after that zooms in ( or out ) the location of panelmain is changing. So I tried to solve this by docking panelmain inside panel1 at the left. But now the vertical scrollbar is gone. how I should dock panalemain inside panel1 to prevent panelmain from moving around but also in a way that both the horizontal as the vertical scrollbar are present?

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?

In my Windows Form I have a ComboBox that is filled by a Stored Procedure with a list of names. I have the Combobox set for AutoComplete to "Suggest" and From "ListItems". When a user starts to type in and the AutoComplete does not find any matches in the listitems the user can tab out of the ComboBox and leave what they typed in the combobox even though it is not one of the Valid Items. Is there a way to check the Comboxbox to make sure of of the selected Items has been selected?
