IDE :: VB Controls Properties Not Visible?
Jun 6, 2011I recently uninstalled an IDE for a motion control system (Delta Tau) that is a visual studio based product. Now when I bring up my Visual Basic 2008 IDE that I'm using to write an HMI for the control system, the properties for controls placed on forms doesn't appear in the properties window. And if I click on properties for a form I get the FileProperties2 information, not the form control properties such as size, location, or color. I am also not able to access the controls in the VB toolbox to place on a form. The controls are grayed out and unavailable. what part of Visual Studio 2008 got broke in the Delta Tau uninstall?

C# - TableLayoutPanel GetControlFromPosition Does Not Get Non-visible Controls?
Aug 22, 2011I'm using a TableLayoutPanel and I want to get the control at a specific position in the TableLayoutPanel. I want to iterate over the rows and columns of TableLayoutPanel but this question applies equally if I just wanted a single control at a specific row and column.Unfortunately GetControlFromPosition(int column, int row) only retrieves controls that are visible (that is their Visible property is set to True). This is no good to me as sometimes I want to access a control at a specific position that is not visible and then make it visible.
I have had to resort to iterating over the TableLayoutPanel.Controls collection, and then get the position of each control using GetPositionFromControl(Control control) or GetCellPosition(Control control) until I find the position I want.(I'm not sure of the difference between GetPositionFromControl and GetCellPosition methods as MS documentation is meagre, but I'll ask that question separately).

Nov 20, 2009I have a form with six picture boxes on it. Each Picture Box has a button underneath it. When the button in clicked, a "Label" and "Textbox" appears. My question is, how can I close the currently open "Label" and "Textbox", when I click another button. I have a working code below, but it's not efficient. As you can see, I will have to list all labels and textboxes on the form. Is there a way to identify all labels and textboxes without naming them all. [code]...
View 3 RepliesTransparent Form But Controls Visible?
Feb 16, 2012I am having trouble finding a way to make the form transparent but the controls still visible. The only transparency I have been able to get to work on the form is
Me.Opacity = <value between 0 and 1>
but that affects all the controls on the form Is there a way to make the controls not inherit this property from the form? Is there another way to make the form transparent? I have buttons and a checkbox that I don't want to be affected by the transparency at all, and a picturebox that I do want to be able to control the level of transparency. Currently, I'm using a slider bar, and controlling the opacity of the form, but that makes everything on the form transparent. I'd actually like for the form itself to be completely invisible, and for my slider bar to control the opacity of the picturebox only.

View 2 RepliesSetting All Controls Inside A Panel To Visible?
Dec 30, 2009But I don't know if i posted this at the right place. I am making 40 textboxes inside a panel. And this textboxes I set it to visible=FALSE. Then I have another textbox named txtNoteam in which once the user will enter a number in this txtbox which is less than or equal to 40, those textboxes will be set to true starting from textbox1 to textbox40 depending on the number entered by the user. Example: user enters 3, then textbox 1 to textbox 3 will be set to visible.
I was successful in doing this except one thing, instead of textbox 1 to textbox 3 will be set to visible, it's the textbox 38 to textbox 40 will be set first. This means it will start from the last textbox to the first textbox instead of from textbox1 to the last textbox.
I need your help on what should I do for this to be able to set it to visible from the 1st textbox to the last textbox or is there any other ways of doing this?

View 6 RepliesCustom Controls - Painting Only Visible Area On Spreadsheet
Mar 18, 2011I am working on a spreadsheet-like custom control, manually painting all cells according to its bounds and indexes. All is working fine until I populate it to upto a hundred rows (with fixed 6 columns). Basically my sheet expands itself to fit all cells, so to use it properly on a form, I use a panel with autoscroll = true and with my sheet inside. The problem is, the control flickers a lot, which I think is caused by painting ALL of the cells. Is there a way to paint only the visible area.?? So when I scroll down, the control would paint only the visible cells on that area. What I am thinking right now is to not put it in a container, but rather, put a scrollbar in my control. Then that scrollbar would then handle the setting of visible cells, and then my paint event would only paint that visible cells. I am using VB btw, .NET 3.5.. I cant put the code in here cause its separated in different classes(Cell, CellCollection, Rows, Columns, Range, Worksheet, etc.)

View 6 RepliesGraphics Drawing And Moving Controls?
Oct 21, 2010I know this is probably not going to be simple, I tried searching around, but couldn't find anything. I am using some code to 'draw' text in a custom format to a panel with a custom bitmapped region (custom shape).Here is the code that writes the text inside a specified area:
g = LeftControlPanelV2.Panel1.CreateGraphics
Using fnt As New Font(New FontFamily("Arial"), 9, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point)
Dim sf As StringFormat = StringFormat.GenericDefault
sf.Trimming = StringTrimming.EllipsisWord
[code]....
Obviously the text is not really located on the panel, but looks like it as it's drawn on top of the panel. So, when the panel or form that the panel is attached to moves, I lose the text. I though I could just call back to writing the text when the panel/form arrives at the correct place, while clunky, it works to a degree. I was hoping there was a better way of doing this, so that the text doesn't disappear when moving controls and I don't have to make repeated calls to the same drawing text over and over and over...
Edit: Should probably add that there will be 5 different panels each with their own custom drawn text, and all 5 need to move at the same time...

View 1 RepliesMoving Mutliple Controls/forms?
Jul 29, 2010I have a lot of forms set up, probably about 10-15 so far (more to come). Some forms 'lay' on top of other forms, and each form contains multiple controls. I am discovering that my approach is not very likely to succeed in what I am thinking of doing.
Here is one example: LeftControlPanel form contains 5 controls, but 5 other forms 'lay' on top of it and use transparencies to load up bitmaps. Since I cannot parent the forms that 'lay' on top of the form, I cannot figure out a good way to move them.Is it logical that when I move LeftControlPanel to a different x location, I would just move all the forms that 'lay' on top of them as well?Seems like a clunky approach of moving one form since parenting the transparency forms will remove all the transparencies that are set up...
Is there a bit better logic I might be missing, or bite the bullet and start moving multiple forms at once?
