Please can someone point me in the right direction? I would like to build my own code designer window similar to that of the one within the VB2010 IDE.I am not sure how to tackle this, at first I was thinking of using RichTextBox as this can accommodate the fonts and colors.
An example of what I am trying to achieve.Should be able to outline, expand and colapse based on my own tags. e.g. in the VB.Net IDE a function and end function are tags that would produce an outline
Should be able to change color of text based on characters. e.g. ' would turn green in the VB.Net ide as it is a comment Should be able to indent based on specific tags. e.g. With - End with would auto indent within the VB.Net ide
I should be able to cover the text color and indents using RichTextBox, but I am struggling with the outline expand and colapse.The purpose of the project is to build a simple interface for creating config files that use only specific tags
When I try to open up a form designer, all I see is code and no form! How can I open up the designer, since the code says to modify using the designer and not the code editor?[code]....
I have two controls inside a user control. They are set to be anchored left and right in order too size with the window as it changes size. For some reason I'm having tons of issues getting this to work properly.
Particularly, when ever I build the project and the control reloads itself, these controls triple in size, and extend way off the control. If I re size them and repeat the process it happens again! Anyone have this issue or know what might cause it?
I've decided to build wizard style library to handle many wizards and make it more simple to work with. The difficulty is that next step window changes depending on user selection on current form with a lot of controls in each of them. After long time thinking I think best would be to recreate similar to TabControl and TabPage controls and instead tabs would be a in-built command Next, Previous and Finish buttons as default in TabPage control. I've tried something to create similar but with no success yet.
First post here. New to GDI+, but not so new to programming. I am trying to create an Alt-Tab style dialog. For some reason, the snippet below (copied from somewhere, I forget) just creates a purple rounded rectangle. Anybody know of Aero-compatible code snippets to create rounded corners?

I develop Mac apps.Now, I'm using Visual Studio 2010 (VB) to develop Windows applications. And I wonder if there are different styles of windows (forms)like Floating, Modal,Modeless. This Microsoft web page mentions Tool Window.I'm not sure I have this option.Or is it possible to have a custom window style like the one with Sticky Notes?
I have opened a VB project which was created using a previous version of VB. So, it popped up the conversion wizard and it completed the conversion to 2010.
But when I tried to view the forms (using "View Designer"), it shows the following message[code]...
I am devloping a custom designer (like the form designer), which can be used to design custom controls at designtime (see spoiler for screenshot).The problem is that i want to show the propertyes of the currently selected object in the propertygrid window in VS, and i can not figure out how to do that.
In VB6 IDE if you doubleclick on the titlebar of the form designer, it maximizes/restores. But in VB.net it opens up code window.How do you quickly maximize/restore the form designer window ?
In my project, I have a local dataset (XSD) that I am using as local-temporary tables. I am getting a System.InvalidCastException when trying to access the field in one the tables. I believe this is because I my code is (incorrectly) not setting a field's value in a row before trying to access it.My problem is that the exception is breaking in the designer file and not in my code. As a result, I'm having difficulting determining which line of my code reading the field value before it has been set. Is there any way to configure Visual Studio to break in my code instead of in the designer created file?
I've been working on a project the last couple of day with the help of a lot of you out there. I've more or less finished the design of the interfase, but there are stange this happening with the form. I can say much about what is wrong because I dont understand it, but I would like to. I have added the form Class code and the Designer Code, is that enough or is more required? Theres a msgbox that popup in the form Load event which I placed there to see what I could learn about the GraphicsBuffer.

I am using VB Express Edition 2010, and I want a button, when clicked, to make the form 'full screen' (border style done and maximised window state) and once clicked again, to return the form to maximised but with a fixed single border style. Here is my
i want to see the designer code .. i want to see how myForm is generated using or extending form i mean in C# i can see the code in designer.cs file...but in vb.net i am nt able to see that..
I have a class that inherits the Windows Forms Combobox.The class should do extra work when items are added, but there is no such event.Therefore, I have added methods to add and clear items, which do the extra work.To avoid developers accessing the Items directly and adding to them, I have overloaded the Items property to throw an exception.This all works fine, except in the VS designer. The designer tries to access the Items property, gets the exception and shows an error.Is there a defined constant for when the VS designer compiles the code? This seems like it would be best suited to the task.
I have a program I have been working on, I was coding kind of late tonight and getting sleep. I saved my work and closed the program, but I did something wrong when I saved it. I accidentally saved it to a different folder then the one I was originally using.
I need some assistance again. In my previous posts, I asked about a good book to start learning how to us VB 2008.I had numerous replies, so I thought starting with Visual Basic 2008 would be a great start.As I am reading the book everything had mad sense up to Chapter 4. It's a simply program, and I thought I understood everything, until the middle of the chapter. So here's where I need help, and someone to explain my error.The author explains to place a Label & DateTimePicker onto the form, which I did. I renamed the label to NextWeek and DateTimePicker1 to DateChooser.Furthermore, I proceed to double click on DateChooser, which VB provides certain code automatically.[code]
After a few pages of reading, the author stated to put the following code under Inherits class definition.[code]I went on and put the remainder of the code, which similar to the following:[code]The designer cannot process the code at line 51:Me. AutoScale Dimensions = New System.Drawing.SizseF(6.0!,13.0!)The code within the method 'Initilze Components' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified. Please remove any changes and try opening the designer again.
How do i change the font style using code ? I want to display text in a textbox (Like google has in there search box) in italic style but i want normal text when the user types in the textbox.[code]...
I have a script file which uses code similar to the C# language, using { and } braces to start and close 'blocks' of code. Note that blocks can be nested.[code]...
Is it possible to use regular expressions to parse the code and return the name of each block separately? So in the above example, it should return block1, block2 and block3 but NOT "block 2 contains" or "and another" (no nested blocks).

but it's something I'm pretty consistently needing for the sake of my own sanity, so:If you add a Settings file to any project in Visual Studio, VS provides a GUI making it quick/easy to add a new Setting entry and assign it a Type; at that point the actual code-behind is automagically created with a variable and a property exposing that variable.Can we build our own designers to generate code this way, with a GUI allowing for those quick/easy variable/property assignments?
i have several forms in my solution that have listview controls and each of those listview controls uses the ListViewColumnSorter class that's provided on MSDN. This class requires a few lines of code in the Form_InitializeComponent Method of the Designer.Problem is, each time something on the form is changed, even if it's just a property of one of the controls, the designer deletes the code that I have for the listviews and I have to go back in and add it again.
