View 1 RepliesI created a Zoom in and Zoom out function for my application and it works great. I would just like your opion on my code, because I am wondering if it can be done a bit neater and more effective.
ts = ToolStrip
cms = ContextMenuStrip
vb.net
If Me.Font.Size < 30 Then
[Code]...
Me.form.font changes the font of all the controls except toolstrips, contextmenu's and menustrips.
Any idea's if this can be done any neater or how you can make menustrip etc.. use the font of the form?
Edit:This is the Zoom In version btw. The Zoom out is identical except it uses - instead of + when declaring the newFontSize.

View 9 RepliesIt has to be a simple line of code but I do not know how to construct it. Using VB 2010 Express, I have a MDI parent form and many child forms. I want the parent form to determine what child form is active and load data into the RichTextBox1 on the child form. Each Child form has a RichTextBox1. The parent form gets its data by loading a file.
I am close to a solution but just can't get there. You will see in the code below, if I make a direct reference to a specific child form, it works great. What I want to do is to use the Active Form function to determine which form to write to. I have looked at the MS tutorial which gets me close.

I am trying to have any only one form type eg Countries, Projects, or Vendors etc. open at the same time. So, if a user has the Country form open and goes to open it again from the menu I would like the applaication to bring the form to the Front of the MDI container. I have tried a number of things like BringToFront, ActivateMdiChild, etc.

I would like to prepare a preview window to zoom inside a picturebox. In my form, I have a picturebox (name picSource1) and inside the same picturebox, I have some other pictureboxes (like picsmallSource1). All of them make a detailed whole photo. My aim is to make a new form with a new picturebox (name it picDestination) so that when mouse comes over the source picSource1 (and of course the other small pictureboxes inside this), Form2 becomes visible and picDestination shows the zoomed part where the mouse cursor shows. So while the mouse moves over the image, the new picturebox shows in real time the zoomed version.
Public Class ImageEventArgs
Inherits EventArgs
Private _image As Image
This code works very fine but I should revise it to somehow "overlay" the picturebox1 with other small pictureboxes, isn't it?

View 1 RepliesI have a mdi application. When some childforms are open (but only one is active) and the user press a button, I want to know, what form is open, because depending on this, an event will fire up. I imagine this so: at first I determine the active form with a separate function. And then with a select case statement the event will be fired up. How can I make this?
View 2 RepliesI am writing an application where active directory validation is required before accessing the main form. There are 2 forms. Form 2 is the login form and form 1 is the main form. The main form would have a simple look, with about 10 checkboxes.I have managed to get the authentication working great but what now need to do is validate groups. Say if "user A" is in "groups A,B and C" and "user B" is in "groups B and C" i would like for them to use my login form, once they log in, the groups that they are members of would appear in a listbox on either form, (whichever is easiest) and is hidden from the user ... if they are in group A, then the main form would show only the first 3 checkboxes, if they are in group B, then it would show the 4th and 5th checkboxes, if in both groups then show the first 5 checkboxes etc.It is a simple idea, but is complicated to explain.As i said, the login form is working with the active directory... here is the code for the login form:[code]Form1 in the code is my main form, and wish for it to change according to which groups the user is in.

I'm an old Access developer and know VBA quite well, but now I'm working at learning VB.net. I'm trying to find the equivilent of the following Access VBA code using VB.net:
Function EvalField()
Dim x As Integer, ctl As Control
Set ctl = Screen.ActiveControl
x = Val(Mid(ctl.Name, 5))
Screen.ActiveForm.Controls("Formula" & x) = ctl
ctl = Eval(ctl)
UpdateTotal
End Function
This code sets a control variable to the currently active control, then copies the text from that control into it's matching "Formula" field for reference by the user), then turns the string of math into the answer. For example, if the user enters 5 + 4, that will be copied to the Formula textbox, then it will be evaluated and the answer will replace the 5 + 4. And lastly, the UpdateTotal sub will execute which will add this answer to the existing Total field.
The form my application starts with is called Form1.
now if i have another form called form2 and call
form2.width=500
when you press a button on form1 then form2 is resized to 500
BUT if I call
form1.width=500
from the same button Form1 is NOT resized why is this?
I've got a module for my program thats displays the active time and date, on a form. For some reason my code is incorrect and nothing happens when I run the form. Heres the code I have in the module:

Public WithEvents tmrdat As Timer
'declares lbldat as a label
Public lbldat As Label

And the code in the form's:
'declares lbldat as lbldateandtime
lbldat = lblDateandTime
The relevant label in the form is named lblDateandTime
I have created a form containing a text box and a button. i would like to know if it is possible to embed this form in the title bar of the current active window that is opened eg: ie,notepad,word this is so that i can enter a word in the text box and use text to speech to say it or highlight a word in the active window and it will be placed in the text box of my form. i can position the form in the top right location but then the form position is stagnant.
