I want to change the border color of a textbox. I have tryed to override the onpaint event (setting userpaint to true), but in this case I must control all the painting events of a textbox. So, this isn't a good thing. This seems to work, but the user control has no text property. And I woult like to override the gotfocus and the lostfocus events.

I've got a couple of instances of a user control on a flowlayoutpanel. The user control has got a couple of controls on it, and very little / almost none of the control's original space is visible. I need to know when the mouse is inside the usercontrol. What then happens is that the border color changes (of a control in the user control), and when it leaves the control, it changes back to original state.
I tried the following:
Private Sub ctrDashboardWidgetFrame_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseEnter
Try
ShowControls()
Catch ex As Exception
[Code] .....
And it works, but it only works when you move over the original visible space of the user control, and doesn't work when you move over the child controls inside the user control. How I'll be able to achieve this to also work while the user is inside the full user control and not just it's visible space?

I have a winforms app using a trackbar. The BackColor property is available for change, but doing so makes the color of each "tick" almost invisible. I don't see an explicit property to modify the color of the "tick". Is there something I am missing or a way to change the color of the tick?

View 1 RepliesI have a stack panel with 10 borders in it. the application performs the following operations:
1) it takes the last border and set its width = 0
2) It remove the border form the last position and it inserts this border in the first position
3) Once is in the first position a double animation increases its width to 50
No it works well for 10 times then it become impossible to set the width of the border to 50, it stay to 0. It looks like when you run a double animation the width property becomes blocked and you can not change it. Is there a way to unblock it?

View 1 RepliesI'm studying chemistry and wanted to make a quick app for studying the periodic table. What I have is 36 text boxes. I have a structure that can hold each of the 36 element's info, and an array with 36 instances of the structure.
Example:
Dim Elements(37) As Element
Structure Element
Dim strSymbol As String
Dim strElementName As String

When I mess with it, sometime the text boxes will fill in, but randomly and the comparison between the input text and the info stored in the data structure never compare correctly. 90% of the time the structure data is showing a null.

I need to write some fixed-width font (i.e Courier New or Consolas) text to a .net Winforms window in the Paint event - not using a label or any other winforms control - rather using a graphics object method to render the text onto the form's client area. I am having difficulty aligning text on different lines under headings even though it is fixed width font. How can I get a precise measurement of the width of a single character in the fixed-width font? How can I get 2 lines to print out aligned horizontally in successive text out calls?
For example:
Heading 1 Heading 2
Short Other text
A bit longer Still aligned?
I need a separate call to render each cell of text under Heading 2. For argument's sake - let's say column 1 items are printed in black and column 2 are printed in blue - we can't use the same text out call for the entire line.
I need some kind of control that let's me set a Text like in a Label but when I get my mouse over it (MouseEnter) it defines a Border Color and will darken that color (probably using some transparecy property) .

I cannot use a monospaced font and MaxLenght because this field will be shown in a report.In KeyPress event handler I tried to create a Label, put the string on it and compare its PreferedSize. Width to the column's Width. It almost worked well but is not easy to control Paste operations if I have to remove the exceeding chars (f.ex.: if I change the text value, the cursor jumps to 0).I also tried using ActiveEditor. CreateGraphics. Measure String but cannot get it to draw(measure) the text the same way DevExpress does.If I could catch a Before_WordWrap event it would be a solution.
