I have a project(solution) which aims to lance a Form from a lancer module. On my Form Design the buttons are nice and round. When I go to Run the solution and the the Form is set as startup project, all is OK but when lancer module is set as startup project all buttons change to hard rectangular shapes and rounded corners dissapear (see attachments).
I seem to have reached a limit on the size of the form. I cannot make the form longer and I need to add more fields. Is there a limit on how many fields can be included in a form?
I am looking to build some small custom buttons. I want to keep it simple and give them a gradient backgroud and use grey colours to illustrate shapes on them. Very similar to the buttons you see in Excel/Power Point/Word 2007 at the bottom right of the screen. The buttons are next to the slider bar which increaes the view % of the screen. These buttons are grouped together and have different combinations of squares/rectangles on them for viewing options Any idea where to start with the shapes?
Ok..I think it's very simple but I'm still a begineerI'll try to make it clear I need to draw a rectangle when I click on the button..what is the required code?

I have a form with around 20 ovalshapes (the one that comes with Power Packs 3.0). I have named them p1, p2, p3, p4 and all the way up to p20. Is it possible to loop trough each shape in the form and check if the name contains a specified number? I'm thinking of something like this:
For Each ovalshape In Me If ovalshape.name.contains("13") Then ovalshape.backcolor = Color.Black End If Next
I used to change the Form shape in VB 6.0 using the following code:Private Declare Function CreateRoundRectRgn Lib "gdi32" (ByVal X1 As Long, ByVal Y1 As Long, ByVal X2 As Long, ByVal Y2 As Long, ByVal X3 As Long, ByVal Y3 As Long) As Long Private Declare Function SetWindowRgn Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal hRgn As Long, ByVal bRedraw As Boolean) As Long
I created a rectangle shape and tried to show it at my form like this Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks Public Class frmBoard Dim baseDice As RectangleShape Private Sub frmBoard_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load baseDice.CornerRadius = 5 [Code] .....
I have drawn lines and boxes on a form programmatically. How do I programmatically delete one of them? Let's say I draw a line and then a box, (using button1). How do I delete the line and not the box? Or can I?
In addition to the shapes you can create with the code from this thread. [URL]. Here is code to make a control or a Form into a vertical cross shape. This will show you how you can do it in Vb.Net 2008 and 2010 using extension methods. The following post will show how you could do it differently in Vb.Net in other versions as well as Vb.Net 2008 and 2010.
1) From the PROJECT menu select ADD MODULE.
2) In the NAME box type CrossShapedThings.Vb and then click on OK.
3) PASTE this code in.>> Option Strict On Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices Module CrossShapedThings <Extension()> _ Public Sub MakeCrossShaped(ByVal aControl As Control, Optional ByVal CrossWidth As Integer = 10) [Code] ........
I'm making a jungle timer for League of Legends, where I will make buttons you can click or you can start by a hotkey.
The button will be a picture of the specific jungle camp, and when the press/start it, it will start a timer, which will count down to when the jungle camp spawns again. When you press this button, it will change the design of the button to make the picture blurry and add a timer above it, that you can see.
My question is how do you change the design of the button, when you press it, like I explained?
i've designed mac buttons in vb.net but each project i change the design,propeties and events is there a way to make this design,properties and events the default for any new project.
I had a project converted from vb6.. now I'm replacing old controls with new ones.. but when I delete the control off the form.. the form generate code still shows it.. I didnt think I was supposed to monkey with that code and remove anything..
I assume there is a way for the code to regenerate from the actual form design ?
I tried rebuild project.. but that didnt do anything.. I'm a tad new to vb.net..
One of the problems that I constantly see with Winforms applications is that the GUI thread is stuck while a long-running task is running or just plain stops refreshing (yes, I know - needs threading). Is there a code template/design pattern I can use when reacting to mouse clicks or button presses? Should there be a processing thread always running in the GUI app? Basically, how do I write a great Winforms Application that is easy to maintain and doesn't have any quirky refresh bugs?
I booted my computer today and tried to load my project. All I can find is the user interface.vb with all my code. The program runs fine, but I cannot find Form1.vb. How can I retrieve it?
i m trying to develop a billing sw using vb.net as front end and ms sql as back end. i 'll need two tables for this. So, how can i design avb.net form for this purpose.... means what tools should be used for item entries
I was loading my project when my computer rebooted suddenly. After it came back up, I went to load my project again and got an error about "an error occured when loading in the design view..this has been disabled" - sorry I did not get the exact message but it was something like this. Then when my project opened up, I now cannot see my form in the design view anymore. It still run's fine, but there is no code displayed and the form itself does not display in IDE anymore. I can see the code for the form only on the form.designer.vb mode.I have continues backup installed, and restored several versions of the class files for the form, but yet still no luck.
All of suddenly I can not see a form in design view. I am getting 57 errors and all of them have this error.... They type 'Windows.My.Resources.Resources' has no property named '....'
My project runs fine. I can compile and do all that good stuff. But I can not see for in design view.
I was designing a Form in VS.NET but the form controls etc have dissappeared. I am left with a pnael which i can write code in but cant see the Form or its controls.
However - if i press the play button then i appears again but dissapears again when i close the form after playing it.
2. On selection of different tree nodes, i want to open different forms on right side of the screen
which control should i use. Splitter control is not useful, i cannot open forms in splitter control is there FRAMESET(Frameset tag in web debelopment) like control exist ? so that i can open forms in it?
