Cloning WinForm Control Possible - GroupBox Layout?
Feb 4, 2010
I have a groupox in a VB.NET winform app. The groupbox contains a few Labels, Textboxes and Checkboxes. This was created by simply dragging the controls out of VS toolbox. What I need to do is take the 1 Groupbox and at runtime create multiple Groupboxes to display based on user selection. Instead of dynamically creating the Groupboxes and other controls nested inside, is there a way to clone or copy the original one. Then I'd just change the properties. Label text, Textbox text, etc. And the location of the Groupbox in the layout.

Away back in the days of "dBase 3+" and "Clipper" we had a useful command called "COPY STRUCTURE" for copying the structure of a database table without copying the data. Does VB.NET have a similar capability for cloning a DataGridView and for cloning a DataSet?

If have a control that acts like a record selector from a database, say, for example, customers. The control must act in certain ways allowing the user to type the name, the alias or the code of the customer, and the control will select the correct one, or offer a list of possible candidates, and other behaviors. I have tried to inherit from ComboBox, but there are some ComboBox behaviors that make it difficult or impossible to do what I want, so I'm better starting from scratch, with a TextBox and Button.
The questions are: Do you know some open-source component so I don't have to start from zero? Have you already done something like this and want to share methodologies or tips? Am I good with a TextBox, a Button and a PopUp control?

I have a form in which their is a GroupBox control. I set the Font's Bold property to TRUE. I know that by default any other control put inside a gorupbox will inherit the Font's property settings. I have textboxes and labels in which I manually reset the Font Bold property to FALSE, however, I have a DataGridView that I did the same thing with but whenever I run the app in test mode, it reverts back to the Fonts' Bold property as TRUE rather than FALSE.

For example: how could I have 3 pictures aligned to the right all in one row, then when the far right picture is deleted the other two move to the right to fill that space. Edit: I'm looking for this capability for both Windows forms and web forms. I'd be happy right now if I could just get the code for Windows.

I am currently working on creating a web browser. I have chosen to use multiple layout engines. I found this MDI Tab Control, and thought that it would make this task easier to accomplish and be useful in other aspects of my project. I am at a pause. I have a menu strip with an engine item, and within that I have Layoutengine1 and Layoutengine2. I want it so that when someone is browsing the web using Layoutengine1, and they want to switch to Layoutengine2, that all they have to do is click the Layoutengine2 button and all the tabs that they currently have open would be using Layoutengine2 instead of the previous Layoutengine1.

I am using Visual Basic Express 2005. I am opening the startup form of my application in "Maximized" view. In the form designer, I am setting the anchor properties of the various controls that I have on the form so that they are located where I want them to be located when the Form loads.
I was wondering, if there was a way such that the form in my designer would be of the same size as the Maximized form? As of now I am dragging and resizing the edges of the Form in the Designer view to make it bigger..

I have two questions concerning navigation in a 'mutlipage' control embedded in a form layout in Excel:
(1) I would like to be able to automatically move from page_1 to page_2 through a closeout button click command on page_1 (i.e. when actions are complete on page 1, page 2 will open without needing to click on the tab). Is this achievable ?
(2) secondly, While realising it is a simple step to set up navigation to another Excel workbook, is it conveniently possible (from a button command in the multipage) to open another directory, e.g. MMC console

I'd like to make a GroupBox have a black line as its boarders , just in the old VB6 , but it seems there isn't any such a property . Look , for example in the picture below : First there is GroupBox control but it can only have a line around it without color . Next , there is a Panel control , but the problem with that is that it can't have a caption set . At the far right side there is Panel control with a Label control placed over it . That's the best way I can think of in order to make something that at least will look like with what I have in mind . However , is there any other way I could do that ?

I have a Custom Groupbox that overrides the OnPaint event to do some custom drawing, backgrounds, etc. The problem I have is that when I use it in an application and want to draw text on the control, it gets drawn first, then immediately afterwards the OnPaint from the control gets called and draws on top of the text. Is there any way to get the text drawn after the control's OnPaint?

How do I turn off the ability for controls within a groupbox to inherit the groupbox properties. For example, my groupbox text has a fontsize of 9 and bold. Every Label control that I put into the groupbox defaults to the same. How can I change that?

i have a sort of problem when i try to add some linklabels in my groupbox. I used this
Me.Controls.Add(Groupbox3)
Groupbox3.Controls.Add(FlowLayoutPanel)
I can only add 4 linklabels no matter how big is the groupbox, i tried autoscroll but nothing. How can i do to store minimum 20 linklabels in a groupbox? Here is the whole code i used:
Imports System.Net
Imports DevComponents.DotNetBar.Controls
Imports System.Windows.Forms[code]....
Is there any way, maybe with a specific reference to put a control that records what plays wmp activex and to save somewhere on your computer?

Im working on a lay-away form application, this particular part is part of the even where the user adds a new customer, and has come to the section for adding personal references to the customers account. What Im trying to do is to check all the text boxes inside the GroupBox control, and then add all the tags of the text boxes that are empty to the list. If the list holds any records it will be put into a message box to let the user know he missed this value. But I want them to list in one text box. Here is what I've tried:[code...]

I decided to play around with NickThissen's Expandable GroupBox control.Expandable GroupBox//When I add a control to my form and debug or build the project, the Text of the GroupBox changes to the default. The Name and anything I put inside of the GroupBox stays the same, however.I also noticed that the control resizes to it's default size when I build and/or debug.

I have a winform and i have about 30 labels and 30 picture boxes on it. What i would like to do is fill each label and picturebox with a value and image from a backend database. I could have easily done this in vb6 using control struture , for eg.
for x = 1 to 30
picturebox(x).image = value from database
label(x).caption = value from database
next x
Is there something similar i can do in vb.net. I search a lot but found only complex programs difficult to understand and too much of OOP.

I have a blank winform. A textbox control with name textbox1 being added to the winform. During the form load event, I retrieve 2 string values from database and store these values into TextboxName and TextboxValue variables of string type.
I use TextboxName variable to store that textbox control name (i.e. currently TextboxName = "textbox1") and TextboxValue variable to store that textbox's text (i.e. currently TextboxValue = "Hello world"). My question is how to set the textbox1.text property without have to resort to following code:
If TextboxName = "textbox1" Then
textbox1.Text = TextboxValue
End If
how to set the textbox1.Text property without have to use IF...Then construct?

I have been working on keeping things object oriented for my project. Currently, I'm using a .DLL which supplies all of the app's classes to the WinForms project acting as the presentation layer.My .DLL will, for example, return a SortableBindingList(Of T) to code in a form. The SortableBindingList(Of T) comes from here. Let's assume a SortableBindingList(Of Product). Assuming that the .DLL's function Services.Products.GetList() returns a SortableBindingList(Of Product), I can easily do this:
DataGridView1.DataSource = Services.Products.GetList()
Now, the DataGridView is properly populated with my list of Products. Fine. However, there is no .SelectedItem property which gives me back my object which was selected in the DataGridView:
' Doesn't exist!
Dim p As Product = DataGridView1.SelectedItem
' Need to make another DB call by getting the Product ID
' from the proper Cell of the DataGridView ... yuck!
However, a ComboBox or a ListBox does in fact store and return my Product objects intact:
' Valid!
ComboBox1.DataSource = Services.Products.GetList()
Dim p as Product = ComboBox1.SelectedItem
Another however ... the ComboBox and ListBox do not show all of the fields of the Product object, only the value of the DisplayMember property.Is there a nice control in VB.NET 2008 that I am just missing, which gives me the object oriented functionality that I want which will actually display an entire object's fields and also return that object back when selected by the user?

I have a Winform UC packed in a CAB and hosted in an aspx web page using the <object> tag. In IE7, things work. But in IE8, no matter what settings I choose, the control never gets installed. I need to point IE8 to the CAB, download it, unpack it, and run the installer in the client machine, outside IE8. The UC is fairly complex, and requires several DLLs (third party components). The control reads data from hidden fields in the hosting page, and calls javascript functions on the page.
