I want my program to once a certain button is pushed it opens up a new picturebox on another application. I've already made the new application to be opened, but I have no idea how to link the two different applications like this.
I want it to open up basically like a messagebox
Firstly though, I'll have to mention that I'm a relative newcomer to vb.net and don't really know that much about advanced functions.I have my main form which dynamically generates 15 buttons.
Each of these buttons will need to open another form, depending on which form has been assigned to that button in a config file (the config file isn't yet done, as I want to get it working simply by hardcoding the name of the forms for the time being)
The way I have it in my head is that I would assign the form name that needs to be open to the name of the button, if that makes sense....However, I have absolutely no clue how to do it, I've tried a couple of things but to no avail.
Here's my code, and I have no problem changing any part of it if it will help things along, this is just the only way I know how to create dynamic buttons.[CODE...]
I have a form which gets populated by 15 buttons dynamically at runtime (these need to be dynamic as there will be a user config file at some point)What I need these buttons to do is to open a specific form when clicked. Which form that opens will be dealt with in the config file.
Public Class frm_MainScreen
Private Sub frm_MainScreen_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim count As Integer
Dim ImageDir As String
[code].....
not quite sure why this is happening but I am just debugging right now and the buttons I am using are opening the wrong forms, I have made sure of the form names, button names etc and it looks all good but specifically the btnPrintReport is opening up the form enterAuditForm while btnProcessAudit is opening printAuditForm instead of their correct ones.
Here's my code, it is rather simple. The reason why I am using a separate sub as my btnPrintReport is because I am using that also on the baseForm's OnLoad Event, which again is also opening the wrong form.

Is there a better way to make a form with multiple buttons opening different things than having a form that has lots group boxes for each tab. So in the begining each box will be invisible and when you click the button the corresponding group box will become visible. Is there any other way?It will be like a background image and it'll have buttons that will mask it with invisible buttons. when the button is clicked it will open the corresponding group box.

View 5 RepliesSince last 2 days I have been getting a strange problem with my Vb programming (VS2005). Whenever I open any Vb or C# code and press F5 (in order to debug), several windows open at a time like Memory1, Memory2, Memory3, Threads, Processes, Registers, Data sources. And simultaneously the SOLUTION EXPLORER that is present at top-leftmost corner generally goes missing. When I restore that and put my cursor over SOLUTION EXPLORER, the program hangs and a message comes as : "Microsoft Visual Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close".I have attached the screen shots of the problems to this Thread.I tried various ways like restoring my computer to an early date, repairing Windows XP and then uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio. But none seem to work.
View 15 RepliesI am having a serious issue with Visual Studio 2005. Whenever I open any Vb or C# app and press F5(to debug), multiple windows open simultaneously like Memory1, Memory2, Threads, Processes, etc... Also, SOLUTION EXPLORER goes missing from top-leftmost area(where it is present usually). When I put the cursor over SOLUTION EXPLORER (after restoring it), the program hangs and the following message is displayed: "Microsoft Visual Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close".
There is no option to attach something, otherwise I would have attached the screenshots of the problems.

View 4 RepliesI am making a webbrowser,how to prevent my browser from opening new IE windows. Because what happens is, there are some links that will open new windows and therefore IE comes in place because it is set as default windows browser which I really don't want because my browser looks really bad if it opens links in another webbrowser.I want it to be just a basic browser, it has only one window, and it should navigate within that window. This is because the browser is integrated in a bigger application only for some website applications that are related to this main application.I am using VB.net 2008 Express Edition?

I am running Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express. I created a simple program that is nothing more than dozens of Windows Forms that are linked together by the various clickable buttons I put on each form. The program is like a "book" with several pages, and you jump to a specific page by clicking on specific buttons on the current page ("Windows Form").
My question is, how do I change my program so that when it is launched, instead of just 1 Windows Form opening, the program opens up several Windows Forms (of my choosing) automatically? In other words, instead of my "book" (VB program) opening "page 1," when I run it, I want it so that pages 4, 7, 8, 10, and 15, are "opened" whenever I run my "book."
Is there some code I need to insert into each Windows Form I wanted opened automatically when the program is loaded? Or is this a MS VB 2010 Express environment option I need to set?
I've created a shared add-in for Office that adds a button to Office application.
If I am using the button to show a message, it works good:
Code:
Sub settingsPressed(ByVal control As Office.IRibbonControl)
MessageBox.Show("Hello")
End Sub
But I am not able to use it for opening Windows form:
Code:
Sub settingsPressed(ByVal control As Office.IRibbonControl)
frmSettings.Show()
End Sub
The .Show() command is not available and is not proposed by intellisense.
Of course I've added a reference to System.Windows.Forms
I have a point in my .NET (VB) application at which the user is prompted to select zero to many documents to be printed, which are spawned off in separate new windowsThe list of documents selected is passed in from the previous page, pipe-delimited, as part of the querystring, which is then split to create a list of documents. My code iterates through this list, builds the new window's URL dynamically and then spawns the new window. For some reason I'm getting a maximum of two new pop-up windows, regardless of whether the user chose three or more, and the list is being populated fully and properly
View 1 RepliesI have a piece of software with two tabs, inside each tab there are buttons (the user can add the buttons when they want). when tab1 is full tab2 should start to fill. I currently know how many buttons fit on the screen so I just say something like if buttons > 150 then start to populate tab 2 The problem i have now though is if the resolution is changed then a different amount of buttons can be displayed. so if I put my screen to 1280x720 some buttons are left of. I was thinking of detecting the resolution and then using different cases for different resolutions but this seems very inefficient im wondering if there is a different way?

View 2 RepliesI found this question on StackOverflow. Basically, the user wanted to draw custom buttons on the titlebar. I tried the code and realised it works in vista/7 only when Aero is disabled. My question is, is there any way to draw custom buttons on the titlebar while aero is enabled? Any way of reading information from the current theme so I can style my buttons to match the already existing ones.
Here is a screenshot from my computer demonstrating the above concept. I got the additional titlebar buttons after installing DisplayFusion. And I know DisplayFusion is a .NET program because it opens in .NET Reflector. The down side is that the program is obfuscated. Not like I wanted to decompile the program or anything; I just want to add a button to my titlebar to do something else (like minimise to the system tray for instance).
Below is the screenshot, proving the program is a .NET app.
