When creating a right click (ContextMenuStrip) menu for a systray (NotifyIcon) icon, how do I give it the same style as most other context menus? Most other menus have a nice fade inout when right clicking on the system tray Icon. In addition they respond immediately when moving between nested levels. I cannot replicate this in Visual Studio 2008 using a simple form, NotifyIcon and ContextMenuStrip assigned. The menu appears harshly with no fade effect regardless of any property.
I'm trying to have my NotifyIcon show the native context menu of the Operating system. When I use ContextMenuStrips they have the custom skin made from Microsoft which I dont want. I want to use the original menu that all other applications use on my computer. How Can I use that menu? I have tried using the "old" ContextMenu control but It doesnt work with NotifyIcons, it only displays with other controls.
Basically, I'm going for a program that has a NotifyIcon and a ContextMenuStrip working together to create a program launcher. I began by adding all the necessary controls and setting the properties. Next I set up StreamReader for a text file I will be using to save program paths. StreamReader and individual lines of text.
I'm essentially in the dark in this area, and for my program, I'm aiming for the NotifyIcon's ContextMenuStrip's buttons(Long title) to display the names or paths of the program. So I need to add individual lines to each button. I thought I would come back to that, so I moved on to the next thing, adding buttons to the ContextMenuStrip.
I have buttons already in place, like Add Program, Remove Program and Programs(for the actual list) but I need to be able to add buttons to those. Kind of like sub-buttons. If that didn't make any sense, I mean like when you hover your mouse over a button and another menu pops up.
I am new to Vb script or any scripting at all. I have made a script for reflections that run vb 6.3 macros I have modified the original script to use msgbox and input boxes as below:
This is what I have so far, I know it should be simple as hell, but I'm having a huge brainfart at the moment. Im going to continue messing with it though. Im trying to make it so I can input a number for a percentage, multiply that with my current array prices, and display the total in the listbox. I have a few theories on why it isnt working but cant pinpoint which one to use, I'm at a basic level to this and still learning the process. Im also pretty sure I dont have everything I need on here yet.
I've got a VB.NET form that's got a ListView control, Tab Control and custom control. Ideally want the ListView and Tab controls to be faded while the user is entering data in the custom control. It seems these sorts of control don't have any opacity settings. Is there any way to set the opacity?
A while ago I wrote something that was incredibly simple, however it was 3 years ago and I can't for the life of me find where I saved it(upgraded computers twice since then and a few things managed to disapear in the process) I tried for the last few days trying to figure out how I did it and realized that someone may be able to see what I cannot.
I found information about how to fade images on the net. But it is extremely slow. Here is the code:A is an ImageAttributes variable. matrixEl is the float value that is incremented to fade in the image.
Anyone got any ideas on how i would go about fading in/out a textbox? Because only forms have opacity properties i was thinking of something like setting the background color to transparent and setting the forecolor of the text to the same as the background color. Then using a timer i could slowly change it to black, etc.
I'm studying Visual Basic (using Visual Studio 2008) as part of an all-round IT foundation degree...I must confess that programming is becoming my weak spot! Unlike the C++ I was taught last year, I'm not finding VB too easy...probably becasue I've never programmed this way before and I've missed a couple of lessons.
I've been rattling my mind trying to find an answer to this all morning but finally decided to ask here. So, here's the problem, I'm trying to make a DLL which allows the user to fade in/out any form they want. Here's my current (Broken) code.[code]The error message i get is " 'Refresh' is not a member of 'ClassLibrary1.Fader' " and " 'Opacity' is not a member of 'ClassLibrary1.Fader' "
I'm making a fading splash screen for a software but I can't seem to make the splash screen fade in and then fade out. It only fades in, fades out a bit then stop.
Here's my code. Private Sub frmSplashScreen_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Opacity = 0.0 SplashScreenTimer.Start() End Sub [Code] .....
OK, if any of you use Facebook, you'll know what I mean, you click Share after you type in what you want, and it pushes everything else down, fades in, and slides. I need that to happen, and I need it to happen with labels because I can get the code for a textbox to work, but without the awesome effect.
I am a VB hobbyist and a new one at that. I am trying to create a transition effect in VB.NET 2008 when a certain form closes. The transition will take the form's current BackColor and slowly drop all the RGB values in it to 0 via a loop, obtaining a Fade to Black transition. I was able to come up with the code below. It works great. Maybe too great. It goes so fast that there is no transition. To the human eye it looks like the screen just went black instantly. Is there an easy way to enable a delay or pause in the below code to slow the loop down so that the end user sees the transition, and not just a quick jump to black?
I'm working on a windows toolbar that I'd like to fade when the cursor is pulled away. I'm not quite sure if there is an event to check for Mouse Movement OVER the title bar though?! (my code below fades the form when I put the cursor over the forms title bar).
When shutting down a Windows XP system, it displays a modal dialog box while the background fades to a grayscale. I will like to achieve the same effect in any of the programming languages in the tag list.

The goal is to have this image stretched to 300x50 Whenever I do it, it works, but it fades the image from left to right, so that at Left = 0, the image is solid, but at Left = 300, the image is transparent.
I'm using VS 2008 under Windows 7. When I hover the mouse over a variable in debug mode, the value will fade in slowly. Sometimes it is annoyingly slow, I just want the value to show up, no animation or fading. Or is this fading feature a Windows thing and not a VS thing?
The program goes and "Hides" itself as the very last step (InitializeNotifyIcon - does a close which triggers the Form1_FormClosing), but for some reason it shows back up right after it hides iteslf.Here is my code:
Public Class Form1 Private contextMenu1 As System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu Friend WithEvents menuItem As System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem
how do i change the notifyicon during runtimeif i have series of icons in the application resource, how do i refer to a particular icon in the resources from my codeif the application icon is made of different combination of icon, how do i specify the icon i want to use in th ni=otifyicon, somthing like notifyicon.icon = me.icon,index, where index is the index of the icon in the compiled ico file
I don't want my application's main form to be displayed when it opens; I just want the notifyicon control in it to show in the taskbar.This is the code I have been using:
Module: Code: Module mdlStartup Public Sub Main()
[Code]...
The NotifyIcon control is in my frmMain. However, when I run my program I get mulitple instances of the Notify Icon being displayed. I even get two frmMains getting launched if I try clicking the other tray icon that has been made. I'm guessing this has to do with the New instance.If that's the problem, is there a way I can move the notifyicon control to some completely separate class?
I'm currently coding a multi-form project that requires a NotifyIcon. The first form is the Login form which then opens a 'logging-in' form and then finally another form (they're all opened using FormName.ShowDialog() and they hide themself before opening the next form).Login Form -> Logging In Form -> Final Form.When the final form is opened, the NotifyIcon's visible property is set to true and it appears in the tasktray like normal. But when I use Me.Hide on the final form, the NotifyIcon disappears with the form.Any ideas about what is going on? The program still runs in the background despite no forms are visible (which is how it's intended to be) but without a NotifyIcon, there's no way of making the forms appear again.
I'm trying to show a NotifyIcon in the Systray via an event:
Private Sub OnRegChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) If InvokeRequired Then BeginInvoke(New EventHandler(AddressOf OnRegChanged)) Else Return
