i'm currently wonder how to let the users change the font size via a combo box(I have it set up for Small,Medium and Large) That should be fairly easy. The next is more complex. I want users to be able to browse for an image and use it as the background image of the program.

View 7 RepliesHow would I get the file path of my form's background image? I tried me.backgroundimage.tostring but it always came back as something like system.forms.bitmap or something.
View 2 Repliesi have a program i've made a while, and one of the users wants to be able to load his own images to the background instead of the plain grey that is there now. i've searched and searched, and basically can get this working
BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("C:UsersMeFileName.png")
i just slapped that onto a button just to get it to work as i was experimenting. but that only works for a file of that name, on my computer, in that folder. what i'm looking to do is get it so a user can browse his own directories for images and upload them as the background on the form. and be able to save the settings as well. but so far i have only seen different ways to load preset images that you can load. if it's even possible? i'd assume that you'd use the openfiledialog command, but i'm not that well versed in vb as of yet.
When I set the button background image in properties, it looks great. When the button is clicked, the image needs to change. I tried to use an image list like this: btnSample.BackgroundImage = ImlStimuli.Images.Item(0)and I tried loading them from a file. I can get them to read, but the image always turns out blurry or distorted. I've tried all variations of alignment, BackgroundImageLayout like stretch/zoom/centered, and I changed flat style, but nothing has worked. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in properties?
View 4 RepliesI'm working on my first web service and I'm having a blast doing it. I've got a client that talks to the web service installed on a test server. I'm ready to release the code and I realized that when I created the web reference I gave it a path to the web service. I do not want to hardcode this in my program, so I'm looking for a way to dynamically change the path to the web serivce.
What I've done is --
1. Create a web reference to the Web Service:[URL]
2. Built my client using this web reference
3. ... not sure where to go from here.
Basically, I want to stash a value in the app.config file and, on load, use this URL as the web service. Can someone point me in the right direction? There has to be a property I can modify at run time to point it to a some location.

What I want to do is, name the link label "Plain Layout". When the link label is clicked, remove or "hide" the background image and replace it with the background color of "control". After this action is performed, I need the text to change back to "Default Layout" and "show" the image.

For example here i have create a user control. the user control contains labels. when the user hit right arrow button on keyboard, the control will appear on form1. when the user control is there. user can select a label. and when user hit buttons on keyboard, the label.text will change according to the button hit on the keyboard. i have done this code. i just write it roughly here.

is this code above should i write on usercontrol1 code area or form1 code area? because i got confused here.
I have created a user control and need to know how I can let the user change some of the properties of this control at runtime and have the values persist on next startup. There are multiple instances of this control on the form.
View 10 RepliesWhat I want to do is to make my application to SendMessage to another application. I can send message perfectly when i set keys.F1 or F2 etc in code but, I wonder, is it possible that user change this key in runtime? I was thinking about doing something like:
If combobox1.text = "F1" then
SendMessage(pHwid,WM_KEYDOWN, Keys.F1,0)
elseif combobox1.text = "F2" then
SendMessage(pHwid,WM_KEYDOWN, Keys.F2,0)
etc...
But I have 19 usable keys and alot of events with SendMessage function so code will be so big and there's possibility for slowing application. Is there anything that I can do, like...
Dim hKey as STRING? INTEGER? WHATEVER...
SendMessage(pHwid,WM_KEYDOWN, Keys.hKey,0)
?
