I would like the size of a label to be identical to the space used by the text inside. The height and width of a label does indeed change depending on its content (text property and its font), but there is a wide margin that I would like to remove.
View 1 RepliesI have some forms that were VS2005 forms the I moved to VS2010. The forms have a tab control and on the tabcontrol are some panel containers. If I add a multi-line textbox toa panel I'm seeing the text offset from the left margin. If I make a form from scratch the margin does not appear.Any idea where this left margin is coming from?Is there a way to set the left internal margin in code?
View 9 RepliesI've made a user control and have added some internal labels inside it. In the User control class I'm trying to handle the mouse events so that: When the mouse enters the User-Control the background of the User-Control turns white - using MouseEnter event. When the mouse leaves the User-Control the background of the User-Control turns grey - using MouseLeave event. However as soon as I move the mouse over the internal labels it triggers the MouseLeave event. I don't want it to do that, because the mouse hasn't left the bounds of the User-Control! So, how do I get it to not trigger the MouseLeave event when the mouse is still internal to the User-Control?

View 9 RepliesI am currently using vb2008 express, I want to have a database inside the finished application. Not one that connects to an external database or any outside connections but one so all the data is readable, writable, deletable from within the application itself.
View 7 RepliesIn onw of our application, we have some reports that need very specific margins that are dependant of the printer the user have. It is used to print into preformated paper with blanks to fill and depending of the printer, the printing is off by some margins. To make things worse, we don't actually control what printer is used because it is not an internal application.
The only solution I could think of is to let the user configure the margins somehow. I though I could just dinamycally change the report margins like I did with datasources and actual report ( I have one control that is used to display every reports from my application and it works alright), but I can't seem to find that damn property to do so. There is a margin property on the report viewer but it's for the form display so it doesn't cut it.What I was thinking to do is to define the margins before the user loads the report, i.e. when he clicks on the report button, I load the report, set the margins (or vice-versa is necessary) and then display it.
Before someone mention it, I know the user can, once the report is loaded, change the page setup to fit his needs, but this has two drawbakcs. First one is that it is not saved each time and I need it to be 'saveable' and by users. The second one is that Report viewer seems to have some bugs when the regional setting aren't set to what it's expecting and we can't force the users to changes their setting to accomodate one application.
I am using a label to display a song for an mp3 player. I wanted to scroll the text inside the label for anything that is longer than the label width. I figured out the width of the label and if the width of the text inside the label is longer. But I have no idea how to turn this into subtracting parts/pixels of the text currently displayed and how to append the subtracted parts to the end of the new text.

View 6 RepliesI am making an invoicing application. I have a label (lblCost) inside of a UserControl (InvoiceEntry) inside of a FlowLayoutPanel (pnlEntries). InvoiceEntry represents a line item on the invoice, and pnlEntries is the "body" of the invoice. pnlEntries can hold several InvoiceEntry controls.
I am attempting to sum all of the lblCost values from each InvoiceEntry control to make a subtotal, and I want that subtotal to change automatically if costs are changed (e.g., a change in quantities being ordered). Is there a way to handle when the lblCost.Text property of any of the InvoiceEntry controls contained within pnlEntries changes?

I have been using vb6 for a while, I am following a tutorial by MS to develop a basic application and a simple task cannot be completed for whatever reasons! The tutorial asks to drag the label object from the toolbox and drop in the tab control container. Then, go to the label size property and adjust the size to some different dimansion. Basic stuff, right? It won't let me do it! After I enter the new dimensions (which by the way are not large or very small), the label size (both width and height) resets back to its original dimensions! I have the vb.net sp1 installed.

I am trying to make my first program in vb.net 2010, and I have a question.ou know how when you have a button, the text centers itself within the frame of the button?I have a label in my application, that displays a different text (through the label) everyday.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a bunch of labels during runtime that will be "inside" a picture box, so when I move them, if their new coordinates are outside the box's dimensions they wont display, or if they're right on the edge of the box only half the label will be visible etc.
I thought label.Parent = picturebox would work but it doesn't seem to do anything, and Google keeps telling me to set the label's container to the picturebox - which sounds right, but maybe it's no longer a VB.NET thing since the Container property seems to be Read Only.
I need to save a picture box to the hard disk with some text labels inside it.
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to validate a form to be filled out by the users, and when the required section isn't filled, I increment an
ErrorCount += 1
variable to show that error(s) have occurred inside the program, I then also set an
ErrorArray()
to whatever the corresponding field number is, now I have 0-12 (13 fields). What I have also done is titled the labels that are associated with all of these fields to correspond with the ErrorArray() value that might be set, such as.
PatLabel0
PatLabel1 etc.
What I am trying to do is loop through the array contents, depending on which ErrorArray() values have been set, to go and set the corresponding fontcolor property of that label to red, to show that these now need to be filled out. This is what I have, but Visual Studio doesn't allow me to use the iteration through the loop as a reference to changing properties. Can anyone point me in the right direction to trying to figure this out, or at least tell me what else I could do. Just seems doing 20 if....then....else.... statements with 2 - 3 lines in each of them is redundant when 1 function line could do the same job. This is what I have.
for i = 0 to UBound(ErrorArray(12))
if(ErrorArray(i) = "*")then
PatLabel(i).forecolor = color.red

I am using Visual Studio 2010 and have been slowly getting into threading. My current project has a form with a button that in turn starts two threads. The form itself has two labels on it that are used to display the progress of the computations. Each thread has a delegate defined to change the value of the respective label (as the labels are not defined in the thread, but on the form itself). The threads call subs from a separate class. All of the calculations work flawlessly. My problem is that the labels do not visually update. Through use of message boxes at the end of each loop, I know that the label text property is, indeed, being changed, but it is not actually refreshing and updating on screen.
My delegate code is as follows (I grabbed this code off of another forum where people had the same issue - it seemed to work for them, but not for me):
Private Delegate Sub UpdatePMLabelTextDelegate(ByVal s As String)
Private Sub UpdatePMLabelText(ByVal s As String)

View 8 RepliesI am making a custom menu. I am applying colors on panels on mouse enter and mouse leave.I have labels on these panels, and the mouse enter and leave events work snappy, but as soon as I hover over the label (on/inside) the panel, the mouse leave event is fired. I know I can just do the same thing for the label mouse enter event, but I am doing some other visual stuff, and I need to have the label mouse events totally disregarded.
View 1 RepliesI've been struggling with something I imagined would be simple. My aim is to create a TextBox or Label with in a GroupBox using VB.net, yes I could use the Toolbox/Common Controls to do this easily, but it's a pain when planning on making more than just one or two of them
Here's my current coding to create the actual text box.

I am writing a kiosk type application, in winforms (I know WPF would be better, this is just to be a rough and ready solution until I've learnt WPF), using VB.Net (VS2008).I have a label on my form with the font set to Segoe UI, and at 120pt size (yes it's large, it's designed to be read from a distance on a 42" screen).The problem I have is that the automatic internal padding is pushing my text 60 pixels from the top of the control to the top of the text and 40 pixels from the left of the control to the left of the text - the label1.padding property is all at 0, so this is the default spacing of the control - it seems to be particularly bad with this font (but it's the font I want to use) and if I increase the font size, this issue gets even worse.
I want my text to fit tightly into the boundaries of my control top, bottom and left (I want the right to expand depending on the length of the string in it, though). How can I achieve this (so that I can control all of the paddding myself using the label.padding property) and get rid of this automatic padding?
I've created my own ascx control with button inside it. Now I'm using this control inside other control. (In my case it is a webpart). What I would like to do is program button.click logic from my custom control inside webpart

View 3 RepliesI have a form on with I have a label inside a panel, with a button I can open a fontdialog and change the font of the label (inside the panel). The font (name and size) I also display in 2 textboxes. This works as far. But I also want to display in a different label (so not the same as the label inside the panel) which fontstyle is selected (at this point when I select bold, the number 1 is displayed in the label, but I want to the word Bold displayed. Also I found out that when I make the fontsize smaller, the label inside the panel isn't align in the middle of the panel.
View 1 RepliesI have an xml document on the internet right. Lets say it contains:
<tag>goose</tag>
What I want to do, is when the user clicks a button in my vb form it looks for the "tag" tag and finds the text inside the tags which is goose. Then it sets a label to equal goose, or whats in those tags.
I have an asp.net usercontrol which represents a "popup" dialog. Basically, it's a wrapper for the jQuery UI dialog which can be subclassed to easily make dialogs. As part of this control, I need to inject a div into the page the control is used on, either at the very top or very bottom of the form so that when the popup is instantiated, it's parent is changed to this div. This allows "nested" popups without the child popup being trapped inside the parent popup.
The trouble is, I can't find a safe way to inject this div into the page. A usercontrol doesn't have a preinit event, so I can't do it there, and calling Page.Form.Controls.Add(...) in Init, Load or PreRender causes the standard exception "The control collection cannot be modified during DataBind, Init, Load, PreRender or Unload phases."
I thought I had found a solution by using. ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Page, Me.GetType, UniqueID + "_Dialog_Div", containerDiv, False) which seemed to work well normally, but recently a coworker tried putting an UpdatePanel inside the dialog and now she's getting the error "The script tag registered for type 'ASP.controls_order_viewzips_ascx' and key 'ctl00$ContentBody$OViewZips_Dialog_Div' has invalid characters outside of the script tags: . Only properly formatted script tags can be registered."
How are you supposed to add controls to the pages control collection from inside a user control?
