Im always using this code(Example):Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load ToolStrip1.Parent = PictureBox1 End Sub To set the Parent Property of an Object. How can i change it from the "Properties Window"? Just to save 3 line of code.

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a Hazardous Materials label printing program. One of the options is to do an "NFPA" label. Since there are 4 values required with 4 or 6 options, the ratings are entered via radio buttons in a group box. That's working okay. I display values in the NFPA diamond as they're entered: left quadrant blue, top quadrant red, left yellow, bottom red. I'm having trouble with the label in which the rating will be displayed on top of a jpg diamond for the white. In this quadrant the text can be up to 4 characters. I can accept the text going into an adjacent block a little, but the corners of the label overlap into another quadrant/color. I reduced the font size which solved the overlap problem but the font is then too small and looks terrible. I tried to make the background of the label transparent to let the color come through correctly but that's not a valid value for label.background. I'm figuring that the transparent background is the best solution. What can I use that will accept a transparent background so the color shows through?
I'm trying to set the transparent property via label properties properties, not via code. Here's the code if it makes any difference:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I've reviewed the links that were offered and don't find an answer. Neither has a lot of searching helped, probably because I can't think of a reasonably short way to ask the question. I hope that I've at least found the proper forum and category.
In my VB 2010 code, I've defined a structure that has about 30 elements. I want to sum the properties (they are all singles) of two members of the corresponding collection. I understand that I can do something like:
member1.property1=member2.property1+member 3.property1 for the entire set of properties of member2 and member3 to produce a completely defined member1 What I wonder is whether or not there is a way that uses fewer lines of code - I know that I can't do:member1=member2+member3, for example.
adding the properties of a control to its parent? Without having to rewrite all the properties... For example, if I have an user control with a button inside, and I want to have the "text align" property of the button, in the list of properties of the usercontrol. If not, is there a way of making the child control of an usercontrol editable?
View 1 RepliesI have a .aspx page that loads three separate .ascx controls to represent adding, editing and listing objects. It currently simply swaps out visibility and enables/disables the controls to switch between pages.However, when listing objects (in a gridview), we offer the basic "Edit" button beside each one. Clicking on this will, obviously, load up the edit control for that user. This functionality exists inside of the control, rather than the parent page. Is it possible to modify attributes for the parent based on events occurring in a child control? (For example, change the visibility and enable/disable the other children controls)
View 3 RepliesYou wouldn't think so, but it does when the listbox is bound to a datasource (as far as I can see).
I've reduced the behaviour to the code below. The "if" line toggles between loading a list via data binding and loading a list "manually" (both use the same data table). In each case I set the selected index afterwards, and then change the parent form. With manual loading, the selected index is retained, with binding it is lost. I cannot see how this makes any sense - I don't see why changing the host form should alter any property of the list. Is this a bug?

View 4 RepliesI am running into an issue with changing properties of controls on a VB.net project that I am working on. The portion of code that I am having trouble with is re-enabling a couple of buttons and a ComboBox after a Threaded operation completes. The point of it is to disable the buttons after clicking the main "run process" type of button (called cmdCrawlSearch) so that the process can run on a new thread while the form is updated with the status. I was able to learn about Thread Safe calls using delegates in order to update the Text property of the TextBox (txtOutput) on the form, and thought that enabling buttons would be just as easy, but when I am trying, I am either getting an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" exception, or an "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" exception (from the current version of code) with the InnerException being the Object reference exception. I am posting the portions of code related to the issue, then below it is the InnerException name and stack trace. Perhaps I am not using the Delegates correctly (since I still do not fully understand what can and can't be done using a Delegate.) Or there is a better way to do this.

I have a TableLayoutPanel with a Chart in the 2nd column and 3rd row, and it's ColumnSpan and RowSpan properties are set to 1 (the effect is that it takes up about a quarter of the screen). When I click the chart I want it to take up most of the screen. I was thinking that I would have to change it's Column/Row and ColumnSpan/RowSpan properties, but it might be easier to change the Column/Row values of the table itself. My main problem is that I'm just starting off on Visual Studio 2010 coming from VB6 and I have no idea where to access any of these properties.

I have a collection class, say ITEMS, that inherits a Dictionary (of String, SINGLEITEM). From the SINGLEITEM class, I would like to reference a property in the parent ITEMS class, what is the best way to do this? For example, say the ITEMS class has an IsDirty property and I would like to set that if ANY of the contained SINGLEITEM objects is modified, what's the best way to go about doing this?
I know I could add a reference to the collection class in each SINGLEITEM class (since I override the ADD method, I could make this assignment), but this seems like overkill.

I am using a custom built driver to communicate via Modbus TCP with a Windows CE Controller.
There is a property declared in the driver as a SHORT. I need this property declared as a LONG. I have tried everything I know of to change this programmatically but I am having no luck.
' Declared in the class
Dim dev As vHMIModbusMaster.CDevice 'this is the Modbus Comm Library
Dim WithEvents MBSerial As vHMIModbusMaster.CModbusSerial
Dim WithEvents MBEthernet As vHMIModbusMaster.CModbusEthernet
[Code]....
Address is sent to the event from a timer event. It is the .Memory_StartAddress that I need to be a long.
I come from a VB6 background and have only recently started using .net. The developer of the driver has been very slow to respond and I am having a hard time convincing him that the problem is with his code. The thing is that it works fine as long as I send an address less than 32767.

So, ignoring the fact that the syntax is probably wrong - how does VB.NET get the Name property from sourceObject? Inspecting it at run-time reveals that sourceObject is of a type that supports a property called Name with a getter, but what does VB.NET do in this case? Is there some extra code that is being generated by the compiler to somehow cast this automagically at run-time?

View 1 RepliesI have a form with a dropdownbox two listboxes and two buttons on it. I removed a "select" button as I just used the DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged, but the event would not fire until I used the suggestion from:Why DropDownList.SelectedIndexChanged event does not fire?
It involved changing the AutoPostBack='true' and EnableViewState="true" properties
So now the DropDownList works but with the two listboxes, the SelectedIndex stays as -1 and does not change even when selected.

I think it has something to do with post backs, page_load or the selectedindex changed event of the listbox, it worked perfectly before I made the modifications.
Let's say I've got a TableLayoutPanel with 50 cells in it. Inside each cell is a separate text label. If I want to change the color of each of those 50 labels at run-time to the same color, is there an efficient way to do it? (so that I don't have to write 50 lines of LabelX.ForeColor = X, etc).
Not that I would mind writing 50 lines of code for this, but I would like to figure out the most efficient way to do this sort of thing, for future reference.
