Can't Exit Design Mode Because Control Can Not Be Created
Jan 4, 2010
I have a document with VBA controls in it that I created in MS Word 2003. After migrating to MS Word 2007, I get the message that "Can't exit design mode because control 'lblEmaillist' can not be created".
After reading through the various forums here and on microsoft.com it seems to be a known problem. I looked at these articles but am still having a bit of trouble...
[URL] refers to the same problem in word 2000 but after following the directions I still am getting the problem.
The problem does not occur when I open the document in MS Word 2007 or MS Word 2003. The problem only occurs when I open click on the link from IE.
I've set up the location as a trusted location in Office 2007 settings so that should not be an issue.
The document in question is being saved in the word 97-2003 format due to the fact that some people here have not upgraded to office 2007. I tried saving it as a .docm for office 2007 but the error message still came up.

I have a UserControl that contains other controls that I would like to be able to rearrange or resize at design time. So I have a custom designer for the UserControl that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Design.ParentControlDesigner, and I call EnableDesignMode on the child controls from within the designer. That way, at design time, I can drag and drop the child controls to move them, or resize them. But I can also drag and drop the child controls somewhere else on the form that is outside of the original UserControl. Is there a way I can limit the child controls from being moved or resized outside the UserControl?

I have created a custom Combobox and added it to my toolbox, and it works well. Now I have added a custom ListBox to the same file as the combo box, but it does not show on my designer when I place it. I can however add it at runtime.
''ComboBox
<DefaultEvent("SelectedIndexChanged"), _
ToolboxBitmap(GetType(System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox))> _
Public Class ProjectsComboBox
Inherits ComboBox
''My Customization
[Code] .....
I have tried removing the "DefaultEvent..." and still no dice.

How can I basically lock a default property so the user cannot edit it? For example, if I wanted to lock the BackColor property, how can I make it so the end user of the control can't edit it?

I want to create a simple program and I'm trying to do this with run-time design.with this form, when you click on the button1 with the caption(Text) "Show Another Form", another form will be created with this code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click[code]....
How can I exit the form I've created when you click on the Cancel Button. The code I've provided doesn't work.

why when I use My.Settings to Add items during design mode, they do not show up during run mode?
This is for a custom control.
I'm missing something between the control that exists on a Form during design-mode and the (apparently new) control that's created during run mode.
I can add items in design mode using the Application Settings editor (right-click on custom control, select Properties then Settings). But when I use code in a smart panel during design-mode along with My.Settings.MyProperty.Add() to add additional items, the new items show-up in design mode but revert back to the old set during run-mode.

I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express. I have a form with some text boxes on it. There was some code on that form which was giving errors. So I deleted the whole code. Now the problem is, I cannot see the form Design mode button to view it in design mode. But when I hit F5, I can see all the text boxes (in Run mode). I want to add some more controls on form. How to resolve this problem?

I accidentally deleted a tab in the design mode. I still have an old form in which the tab is present. But it is an old copy from the present project, hence is it not in the same project. What can I do best to get it back? By the way, Visual studio could better say some warning before they do that. And contr-z did not get all the content back. May-be I should have hit that button a few times more before I pressed save. I dont know.

Converted an VS 2003 VB Application to Visual Studio 2010. Conversion seemed to work great. Having trouble with the Backcolor of buttons. In design mode they are a light gray (I have them set to transperent and they are on a VBPowerPack.Blend Panel) - but in Runtime they turn the correct color (Steel Blue). How do I get design time to look the same as runtime? Also, they stay light grey in run time if I check Enable XP Styles. Makes me feel better to see the same colors at Design time

I created a Windows Forms Application and spent a lot of time putting it together. This is my first project like it, it works correctly and... I'm very happy with it. However, I didn't open Visual Studio for a couple weeks. And when I went back to open the project's .sln file to edit it again, I can no longer see the design view with the layout of the program and all its objects (textboxes, labels, buttons, etc).
When I open a brand new Windows Forms Application, I can Right click the Form1.vb file in the Solution Explorer and "View Designer." Here is a picture. Now, when I right click on the .vb file from my program, that option is not there. As you can see, my program has a lot of objects. So I'm getting a concerned that I did something wrong and will not be able to use the design mode any more.

I have a ComboBox control with some items added to the items collection in design mode. What I want is when an item is picked from the ComboBox a different value is actually used in the code, instead of what is displayed. I am aware of the DisplayMember & ValueMember properties, but I'm not sure if that is what I need to use. All the examples I found were for bound data.

I know that there is no DESIGN, DESIGN_MODE, DESIGN_TIME, etc preprocessor directive value. However, I need something that can do the trick. I can't use a normal If statement, because in my case I need to change the inherited class so that the control renders properly at design time. If not, I'll receive an exception due to the fact that the inherited class is an abstract class.Here's what I'm looking to accomplish:
Partial Class MyCustomControl
#If DesignMode Then
Inherits UserControl
#Else
Inherits WidgetControl
#End If

I have opened an existing project and made changes in the design mode. (For example, I added a new button.) But when I tested the program using Start Debugger, none of my changes showed up.

I have a form-based application, that until recently displayed the controls on the form when in Design. For the last week or so, when I go to Design mode for the form, it is blank. However, the program does work correctly. And, I can see the control definitions in form.designer.vb. How can I get my form to display the controls again so I can add/move/change it going forward?

I've been coding an application over the last few months in VB.NET 2005 and have noticed that as the application is growing in size, I'm beginning to experience some strange behaviour in the IDE.For example : I have a tabcontrol docked in a form with 5 tabs. Each tab has a panel docked to it with several buttons, text fields, layout tables, datagrids etc. Sometimes immediately after saving the project, one of the tabs will go "white" and show no controls at all. There might be the odd outline of a control ( like you get when a control is hidden behind another ) but the only way to get them back is to close the project and open it again. It seems to be getting worse as the number of controls dropped onto the forms increases. Looking in the form designer.vb file I see that there are currently around 8000 lines.Is it possible that the designer file is so large that its having trouble loading/refreshing the view in the IDE ?

Sometime ago I used to create all my class structures in vision before I wrote them. That however didn't last. I found it easier to just make little drawings with pencil and piece of paper. And I still do to this day. In code usually those drawings manifest themselves as interfaces which then are implemented by different classes. I do all this in code. And I was just wondering if there is any tools available in Visual Studio for VB.NET that would allow to create interfaces and implement them in classes (which a lot of times means just adding variables to class that will hold data passed with interface attributes) from design mode(kinda like using Visio only after you finish you don't have to write out code).

I am using Visual studio express 2008. I was working on a VB project for a few hours. Then I did something,(I think I just double clicked the form ) and I cannot open it in design mode. By Design mode I mean so you can see the controls, and ad buttons and stuff. The form still runs, if I run it. I see the form in the Solution explorer. From solution explorer, if I show all Files , then open FrmMain.Designer.vb, I can see my code. If I go to the project menu item and insert New Windows Form the new form works like I expect it too, I can see it. I need to be able to see my form.

Every once in awhile when I double click on a form in design mode (Windows Forms Application) that contains a tab control, all of the controls on the tab control disappear. I have to reopen the form to get them all back. In addition to this, the column order of my columns on any datagrid inside a tab control get rearranged when this happens. Is this a known bug and if so is there a hot fix or patch?

I have created a PictureBox array to hold 104 playing cards that are all visible at the same time.I did this with this line in the declarations:Shared Card(104) As PictureBox
And with these lines in the Form_Load module:
For I% = 1 To 104
Card(I%) = New PictureBox
Card(I%).Name = String.Format("Card{0}", I%.ToString)
Card(I%).Size = New Size(71, 96)
[Code]...
I have been successful in creating the array, positioning each and entering the images for all 104 PictureBoxes, but now I want to add code for the event "MouseDown.I copied the code for this event from my VB3 program and VB10 automatically updated the list of parameters, but nothing has linked the objects (Card) to the code.
I have tried to append "Handles Card.MouseDown" as well as several variations with brackets to indicate that it is an array.Auto-complete doesn't include "Card" as an option, and of course, since the array was never an object added to the form design, I can't create the empty module from there.

Am using VB.net 2005, and I've created columns for the datagridview at design time. But when I run the code the fill method of the DataAdapter, the columns I created are not filled with data, but automatically generated columns appear. How can the columns I created at design time be filled with data?

In a typical session with the program I'm writing, the user needs to be able to access the data in 1 to 500 (maybe) tables (but always only one table at a time). Up to now I've been creating these single table datasets dynamically, as and when required.I've now come across the distinction between typed and untyped datasets (where typed seems to be the recommended option). It seems, though, that typed datasets are created at design time only and not dynamically. Is this correct? Are all of my dynamically created datasets therefore untyped?

When you INHERIT from TabControl to create a different version of the TabControl, then BUILD the designer will add 2 TabPagesby default when you add your new TabControl from the ToolBox to a Form.
