How do you maintain the appearance of a disabled button in VB.Net? Basically, when I click a button, I want its background colour and font colour to stay exactly the same as before I clicked it.
View 1 RepliesAlright, I have form, with multiple buttons on it. I want it so when I Click on the Button that Says START it will Change to STOP but at the same time Enable all the Disabled Buttons on the Form. ATM I have this.
Dim ctl As Control = Me.GetNextControl(tbStudio, True)
Do Until ctl Is Nothing
If TypeOf ctl Is Button Then
If ctl.Enabled Then
[Code]...
Works Good, but when I add the btnStartStop.Text = "Start" or .Text = "Stop" to the If Statements, it's always getting stuck on "Stop" I also tried a Boolean statement but came out all funky, EVERY OTHER button was Disabled while the OTHERS were Enabled. I feel like a n00b, I've been programing for a bit now, but just got back into it,
I'm disabling a button in vb.net and when I do, I cannot control the BackColor or ForeColor properties to change the appearance. I set new values for them but they don't get picked up. The disabled button looks almost exactly like my enabled buttons so you can't tell the difference. I'm using Flat Style buttons, but have tried changing this and it still doesn't seem to work. Is there some sort of trick to be able to do this?
View 1 RepliesWhen I set a control to "enabled = false", I want the textbox backcolor and forecolor to remain clear and distinct (white and back - respectively). Is there a place in VS 08 where I can define default appearnce for disabled controls? Or is there a beter way to lock control values other than using "enabled", that woulddn't affect apperance?
View 4 RepliesI attached a picture of how my project should look and what the labels are. There are a total of 12 books and 4 different age groups. In each age group there are 3 books. There is also a previous and next books button which will show the next book in that age group. I want to make it so that previous button is disabled when it is on the first book of each age group and so that the next book button is disabled when it is at the last book. The only issue that I am having is that after the button is disabled it is not enabled again after. Here is my full code for this part as of now. As you can see I made it so that everytime I click on a new age group the previous button is disabled initially.
I took some unnecessary code out of here because I don't want anyone from my class finding this and coping all of my work.
Public Class BookInfoForm
' use this array to display information in this form
Private books(,) As BookInfo = getBooks()

does anyone know how to change the text color of a disabled checkbox control?I have drawn a black background on my form interface and a checkbox has been positioned on top of this background. When the checkbox has its enabled property set to false, the text cannot be seen at all ( so I assume the disabled text color is black ).Does anyone know how to change this color? I've tried changing the chkbox.forecolor property from within the program code but it didn't change the disabled text color :/

View 3 RepliesWhen I change the BackColor for a Form, and then add new buttons, they have by default the same BackColor as the Form itself. That does not show on my Windows 7 development computer, but when I use the program on an XP machine, all buttons appear the same color as the form.
I correct this by changing the button's BackColor property to ButtonFace, but it is a pain to do it all the time and some times it gets past me and a wrong color button goes into the application.
Is there a way to change how this works so all buttons are placed with ButtonFace BackColor by default?
I have a program with lots of buttons and textfields etc in my main class (I guess), in the default on called Form1.

I have a For Each loop going through the controls in a panel disabling them. When the loop reaches one certain grid control and disables it the CheckedChanged event fires for the next control in the loop which is a radio button.
The call stack is as follows:
System.Windows.Forms.dll!System.Windows.Forms.RadioButton.OnCheckedChanged(System.EventArgs e = {System.EventArgs}) + 0x15 bytes
System.Windows.Forms.dll!System.Windows.Forms.RadioButton.WnProc(Microsoft.AGL.Forms.WM wm = WM_RADIOBUTTON_NOTIFYVALUECHANGED, int wParam = 0, int lParam = 0) + 0x17 bytes
[Code]....
I don't understand how control.Enabled = False can cause the OnCheckedChanged event.

View 5 RepliesWhen 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?

I am creating an application for Windows Mobile 6 in Visual Studio 2005. I have a TabStrip on the main form. There are 2 buttons i want at the top of the tab strip, but i don't want them to be part of it. I need the same buttons to show when the tabs change. I used to use the ZOrder function or Parent function but can't see how to do it in the new version. Any ideas?
View 4 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 5 RepliesSo I am trying to make a program that consists of a form with 3 radio buttons and a picture box. I want my default background color for the picture box to be yello and I do not want any of my radio buttons to be selected. However, when I start debugging my program, one of my radiobuttons (red) is already selected and the picturebox is red.
So I tried adding the if statement..but it kept stating "expression expected"; and it had ByVal highlighted in blue, as you can see.
