I need to allow the user to rotate a control (the control inherits from a TextBox) in 90 degree increments so the text can be read from either side, or even upside down.
I'm guessing I could override the control's paint event and just paint it in the orientation that I want, but I'm just wondering if there's a quicker/built-in way?
I want to change the orientation of rows and headers in a datagridview using a deserialised class as a dataset so that rows are displayed as columns and columns as rows. How do I do this?
View 9 RepliesI am using drawstring with the DrawMode set to OwnerDrawFixed on a tab control. The Tabs have a alignment set to left, but the text is displayed in a horizontal orientation. I would like to change the orientation to vertical. I am expecting this to be simple, but can not seem to find the correct input parameters for drawstring.

View 1 RepliesI am reasonable new to programing and have ventured in to using VB.net after creating macro's etc in excel, as this seemed to be the easiest transition into the world of programing.I am creating a application to work with an access database and before I submit the forms textboxs to the database, I check to make sure each field is filled in and if it isn't then I highlight the field by changing the label back colour to orangered.
What I have is a bunch of textboxes and a label above each saying what the field is. so for example the textbox name is txtBox1 and its label is lblBox1, txtBox2 - lblBox2 and so on.So what I thought I would try and do is, as the user leaves the txtBox after editing, the label background colour would be changed back to transparent.
As I have multiple txtbox's I thought I could do this using sender to get the name of the txtBox on leave, strip the first 3 letters txt and change them for lbl cast it as a label, then change the background color but I cant seem to convert my string to a label control. can someone help me with what am i missing or not doing.

View 2 RepliesI'm quite new at this but I'm trying to change the look of a tab control other than the options provided in the control's properties. In short I want to create a large tab that will fit a picture but I don't know how to change the size of the tab. I also want to make the control look somewhat different than what the control provided with VS.NET looks like.
What I need to know is how to create a custom control that operates the same as tabcontrol but looks different than the traditional control provided with VS. I tried looking up how to create a custom control but all I could find was how to create one programatically and I don't know how it would apply to a tab control. Maybe the only way to do it is programmatically but I would rather play with the control in the designer than having it appear only at runtime.
I'm trying to programatically set the page orientation for an Excel worksheet to Landscape.I thought this would be easy... Everything I try gives me errors. I want something like this:
xlWorkSheet.PageSetup.Orientation = xlWorkSheet.XlPageOrientation.xlLandscape
On this one, I get 'Public member XLPageOrientation on type Worksheet not found' and similar errors on other things I've tried...I got it! I was close :) xlWorkSheet.PageSetup.Orientation = XlPageOrientation.xlLandscape

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to change the look of some controls in VB.An example would be a button, I now have a stack of 4 images on top of eachother. By using the mouseover events and such, I get the same result as a normal button. However, I'd like to be able to insert those images into a normal button like thing.
I know it's possible to do this by creating a custom control, but that'd end up with the exact same code, just in a different file.
However, the real issue would be a dropdown box and slidebar. I'd like to get them to look nice with my theme. (Background, buttons, borders. Things like that..). I got absolutely no clue on how I should do that.
I know that there's a tool to create controls, but that's from scratch and I can't get a grip on it, at all.

I am creating a program with a web browser component, and a tab control. Default, the web browser is anchored to the toolbar. In my program there is an option to make a toolbar at the top of the form visible.false. Is there a way to make the web browser anchor to the top of the tab control when the toolbar is not visible, and anchor to the toolbar when the toolbar is visible?? I have experimented with docking (fill) but then parts of the web browser become covered by the toolbar and status bar. I am still relatively new to visual basic 2008 so if you could please explain or provide code.

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.
