View 3 RepliesHow 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 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.
Aaand, I want to create a class, but can someone tell me how to change the text on labels and buttons from that other class, since the labels and such exsists in the main class?
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.
How could I can change de back color of multiple buttons (2700 aprox) depending on the results of my SQL Query i know how to doit one by one i just want to doit in another way
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?

View 1 RepliesJust a quick question, using Visual Basic 2008, is there a way to change the text of a forms buttons and other objects during runtime so that the text sticks no matter if the form is closed and reopened or not? I can get the text to change, but after closing the window and reopening, the text resets. Is this possible?

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.
I have a list of 12 buttons on a form. I want to label each of them representing a month from left to right starting at the most recent month.

View 2 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 have placed a few radio buttons in a panel, but I have a weird problem where they require 2 clicks to change their state.If one of the radio buttons is checked, and I click once on another radio button, this will uncheck the checked radio button leaving no radio buttons checked. I then need to click the radio button a second time to change its state to checked.

View 9 RepliesWhat I would like to do is to have four different buttons (e.g., buttonA, buttonB, buttonC and button D). I wanna give the following instruction to the people: press these buttons in the following order: first buttonA, then buttonB, then buttonC and last buttonD. If they obey this instruction then a picture will be displayed, for instance a happy face. All the other combinations will not activate this picture to be displayed, or in other words, there won't be any consequence. I would also like to save this data using windows note pad e.g., writeline (1, xxxxxx). Is there any chance I will make it?
