I've used some code to change the Windows start button which works perfectly except for the fact that it doesn't resize the start button at all, therefore meaning that only five letters show:
Public Class Form1
Private Declare Function SendMessageSTRING Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Int32, _
[Code]...
I'm just wondering if there is any code to resize the start button based on how many letters.
i have a program that change the look of the taskbar. But i have a problem, i want to set the start button position to the middle of the taskbar but can't find any code to do this. I know that its possible because there are some programs that do this.
View 11 Repliesthe task is to have an image move up and down when a number is entered in the text box and the start button pressed. now ive managed to get the image to move up but not to sure how id get it to go back down.the code ive used so far is
Private Sub btnJump_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnJump.Click
While picFrog.Top > 0
picFrog.Top = picFrog.Top - Val(txtSpeed.Text)
[code]....
but it comes up with a error. can someone point me in the right direction of what kind of code i should be using?
I am using the MaskedTextBox and I am wanting to check for the following:
1. If the length of the text = 14 characters, enable the reset and start button
2. If the length of the text < 14 characters, enable the reset button, disable the start button
3. If the length of the text = 0 characters, disable both buttons
I am able to get most of it to work but when the length = 0, the start button is disabling like it's supposed to but the reset button is staying enabled. Any ideas? I have been looking at this code for hours and can't figure out why this is.
Here is the code.
vb Private Sub mtbClientPhoneNumber_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mtbClientPhoneNumber.TextChanged 'Make sure that there is a phone number entered into mtbClientPhoneNumber. ValidateUserInput
[CODE]...
To see the form in action, you can see it here. The reset button isnt disabling when length = 0
everyone! I've been at this for a while, and I'm not sure how this issue can be resolved:I'm working on a project in VB.Net, and I have a form with a rich text box. I have a groupbox with 4 radio buttons inside that are intended to change the font color of the text. Coincidentally, I have to repeat this same functionality for a 2nd set of radio buttons that would change the text font family.
At any rate what I've only been able to do is the following to successfully change the font color of whatever text I highlight in the rich text box:
Private Sub rbtnBlack_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rbtnBlack.CheckedChanged
rtbxTextEditor.SelectionColor = Color.Black
End Sub
Private Sub rbtnRed_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rbtnRed.CheckedChanged
[Code]...
Is there a way that I could write a sub (I'm assuming I would use a sub, since I don't think I need to return anything, thus eliminating the use of a function) that would handle the action of changing the selected text color in the rich text box without having to use a separate sub for each radio button? Mind you, per my teacher's specs, she doesn't use a button handler for any of this.
I have this problem but I already simplify the code as below:Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Label1.Text = "hello"
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
'MessageBox.Show("hahahaha")
Label1.Text = "world"
End Sub
What I'm trying to achieve here is, after I click the button, the label1.text should change to hello, and after that to world. But I couldn't achieve that. Instead when I click the button, it just paused for 5 second and displayed world.System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) The code is just a dummy for a loop that I have.
How can I make it so when a button is clicked it will make the program start on start-up but only if the checkbox is checked?

View 16 RepliesI've been trying to work out how to change the text of a tooltip in VB .NET 2005 Express, and have read posts like this: [URL]but that doesn't helped me, because I already have a ToolTip control on my form, but I still can't see any properties for my btnJoin button in Intellisense (I've been looking for btnJoin.Tool..., but not a sausage). I can see a "Tooltip on Tooltip" property in the properties window of the btnJoin button, and that allows me to assign tooltip text at compile time, but I want to change the tooltip text at runtime with code.
See attached ScreenShot1.png of the relevant items.
how I can do this, and what property name I can use to change the tooltip text for btnJoin?

View 2 RepliesHow can the button text of an OpenFileDialog be changed in the cleanest possible manner?
I've looked around and so far none of the solultions are all that simple and all require some fiddling with handles and things.
I am creating an application and am very new to VB. I have 4 buttons on my form which is like my applications main menu. I would like that each of the buttons behaves in the following way when there is a mouse rollover: The Button back color is changed from the default to Red The Button text is changed to Blue, Bold, and increases in font size I would also like all the buttons to go back to their initial state when the mouse leaves.
Another thing, instead of me writing code for each of the buttons event handlers (Mouse Hovers, and Mouse Leaves) is there a way I can write this code once, maybe as a function and then always call it for any button that I create from here on so that any new buttons take on this behaviour.
