Changing An Unexposed Property?
Dec 16, 2009
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.

I have a form which has ONLY three buttons. Somehow they got named Button5, Button6, and Button7.
When I try to rename them Button1, Button2 and Button3 to match code, I get a Dialog box which, if I look at Details, says the Button name is already in use.
Is there something I can do to enable the renaming?

I 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.
[Code]...
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.

I need to use a Vertical Scroll Bar to scroll through some controls (an array of checkboxes to be precise) on my form. Their number changes depending on the user's requirement during program execution so I need to change the Maximum value of the scroll bar in my code. Also, the SmallChange property needs to be modified depending on the set maximum value (other wise scrolling through the controls will take ages ).

I m implementing control based security in my application. where i m saving controlname (per form) in database, which are to be restricted. So far I have implemented the security and restricted control get disabled.
Now what i want to do is that i have to prevent that for those controls the "control.Enable" property should not change. how can i restrict that.
I have achieved the functionality by canceling enable=true property in "Invalidated" event of the control. but this is not some generic way. I have to map this event for all controls in all forms :(.
What i really want is that as all my froms are derived from same parent which implements the security. so the parent should some how restrict enable property from changing.
So,HOW CAN I PREVENT CONTROL enable property from changing in their parent class?

There is no BackStyle property in Visual Basic 2005 ... But I read in MSDN that changing the BackColor of label control will make the background of label control Transparent ... So we'll be able to see through the label control ... I changed the BackColor property to Transparent but it didn't work for me ... BackColor changed to Transparent ... But still I ain't able to see the image behind the label control ... (PictureBox) ... Background color of label still remained the background color of Form i.e. Control color ...

I have an Enum file, as shown in first code block. Though it's first time I use an enum file, so maybe it's not correct to use it like this.. My purpose is just to be able to reference a global parameter from anywhere, so I can just type DataInterval.M1, and it will be treated as an integer... or.. will it not ? urther I have a property in my DataSeries class, of type DataInterval. And in this class I also have a bunch of methods Get/Set etc. to do different work on the dataseries (Inherits List(Of BarData)). roblem: The interval property keeps changing unexpectedly every time the GetNextCloseTime function is called.
''' <summary>
''' "Time Frame" of data series

I'm trying to create a button that will hide the panel that I have docked at the centre of my user control. [code]This works to an extent. However, when the bottomPanel is set to Fill it seems to fill the entire control, and not just up to toolStrip1. Can anyone tell me why this is happening, and how to correct it?

I have created several simply custom controls and I used them in my app. Now, I changed the background color in a custom control class, because I wanted an other color for this type of control. But in my app, the background of this controls didn't change. Why? I assume, I don't need to place again this controls on each forms to get the new background color, or do I? If yes, this is very stupid in my opinion.

I'm trying to edit the text of a toolstripstatuslabel from a module in my project, but whatever I do, I can't change it. [code]But that didn't work either.I tried to change If Me.StatusStrip1.InvokeRequired Then to If Me.InvokeRequired Then, but that didn't help either. I also tried to change the modifiers property of the toolstripstatuslabel to public, with no result.

I used to use ADODC with VB6. Once I've set up databindings I can set a text box or other controls to link with a database's specific field by changing the Text property under Data > DataBindings. I want to change the field the text box links to at different times using code. How can I do this?

This Winforms app has a toolStripComboBox within a MenuStrip container that displays Culture Info languages.The toolStripComboBox's width is not expanding to accommodate the size of the string. The strings are dynamically added to the combobox from underlying code. How do I get the comboboxe's width to expand? Below is an image of the'too narrow' combobox and below that the Properties for the combobox.

I'm having some very weird issues with interfaces right now.
I have a very simple setup. In one of my class, I have a Property implementing a Property from an Interface.
In my class it's like:
Private _oForm As IForm
Public Property Form As IForm Implements IContainer.Form
Set(value As IForm)
[Code]...
I have like dozens of interfaces like this working throughout my project and I can't believe this simple one can't work!

Is there a way for implementers of an interface where a ReadOnly property is defined to make it a complete Read/Write Property ?
Imagine I define an interface to provide a ReadOnly Property (i.e., just a getter for a given value) :
Interface SomeInterface
'the interface only say that implementers must provide a value for reading
ReadOnly Property PublicProperty As String
End Interface
This means implementers must commit to providing a value. But I would like a given implementer to also allow setting that value. In my head, this would mean providing the Property's setter as part of the implementation, doing something like this :
Public Property PublicProperty As String Implements SomeInterface.PublicProperty
Get
Return _myProperty

I searched on the forum / Internet for the solution how a PropetryInfo object (of a Public property) can reveal if it has a Private Protected Setter ... it was all in vain .... all help I found was about how to "Set" value of a public property having a Private Setter.I would like to know if I have a PropertyInfo object of a public property, how would I know if its Setter is Non Public?
I tried, in a exception handling block, where I did a GetValue of the PropertyInfo object and then called SetValue by setting the same value back... but to my surprise it worked well and didn error out.

I'm having a few problems converting some code into VB.NET from C#. Most of the translating is done, but I am getting errors when I try to run my code, and I can't figure out what is causing them. Here is the Sub I translated.

Dim blue As LCDColor
blue.Red = 0
blue.Green = 0

The error I receive on this line ("vision.Widgets.CreateWidget(wg1)") reads "In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user."
