I have been asked to build a custom wizard control in VB.NET for a windows forms project. It has been made very clear to me that I am not "allowed" to utilize existing wizard controls on the internet due to some obscure logic surrounding copyrights. It has also been made clear to me that we are not "allowed" to use usercontrols in the software.

This is similar to my last post but with a different purpose.I have built a custom control, but when I set the properties for it... ALL instances of that control on my page grab the exact same property. I need to be able to set the property to "abc" for one instance of the control on my page, and then set the exact same proprty to "xyz" for a different instance of the control on the same page.

I know that you can create custom formats for the DateTimePicker control, and I've googled this but is there any way that you can allow a user to only select Sunday dates in a Month with this control?
View 11 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple transparent PANEL control. I want to create a custom control based on the existing Panel Control with a property added called "transparent" which can be set to true or false. If it's set to true it's transparent(not invisible). So if I place it over some controls in a form say a button or text box... they are visible but disabled.

How to expose Events
I have previously used the arguments of a contentsResized event on a Winforms richtextbox to get the new size of my RTB. I am now developing a WinForms app with a custom WPF RichTextBox. My whole reason for doing this is to use the out-of-the-box spellchecker. I need my RichTextBox to expand and collapse vertically as the text is changed. The elementhost will also have to resize to allow the whole RTB to display on-screen.

View 8 RepliesI've designed my own encryption application in VB 2008 that has a free tools section where users can choose a particular wizard to use from the drop down. The javascript wizards display the code required to put in their own sites. I already created wizards that users can well, use.I see people have their own "contact form wizards" on their websites all the time. Where users can use the wizard and get the displayed code to copy and paste on their sites. But trying to locate source codes to these things is very aggravating on the web.So what I want to do is create my own "form wizard" like out of javascript, that allows the user to put in some information then get the displayed code to put in their own websites. I'm not looking for the generator such as the online form generators.But the javascript source code(s) for the generator itself.Then I could simply put a form generator inside of my VB-app, that will allow the user to use the wizard, then get the html code to paste in their own sites. Preferably not the PHP one because the php backend is very difficult to put in a VB app.I know that it can be done. For example copying a web pages source code then putting it inside a string, then calling that string from a button click that will open the javascript page in the webbrowser inside the VB app.
View 2 RepliesI am looking to make a data connection with a network server(sql server 2005). When I run the data source configuration wizard, it allows me only to pick a local database file. I want to use a connection string like this "Data Source=SQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=mydb;User Id=username;Password=password;" I know I can do that programmatically. But I would like to know whether I can do that using the data source wizard so that I will be able to use Bindingsources and tableadapters.
View 4 RepliesI want to create a custom control that has a cursor like a regular text box, I tried using a line and a timer that makes the line 'Blink', but that wasn't too reliable because I had to change the location and background in the timer... I guess I could do it, but I wanted to ask my question here.
Basically what I am doing is creating a custom control to allow inputs as in fractions, sub/superscripts, etc.... The TextBox Control doesn't support text in that many locations.

And can I integrate a SQL database to store the data the users enter? It will be for automatic account creation. And I only want them to enter data once, and then I want to retrieve it for every signup.
I am new to VS and evaluating VS 2010. I am trying to create a wizard type control, on which various controls are on each tab. I then want to turn off the tab description and outline and control which tab controls are displayed by programmatically selecting each or one specific tab. Also require to be able to place a control above a tab (not on any of the tabs, which will mean that the control is visible whenever the form is displayed
I am trying to duplicate the characteristics of the Clarion (Soft Velocity) language tab control.
I have noticed that the tab control does have a "visible" attribute and if turned off that none of the tabs are visible. I guess what I need is a "visible" attribute (most probably inhereted from the parent tab control ) which can be programmatically changed.

View 2 RepliesI have began building a piece of software that needs to collect a series of information from the user. This information will all be based on what has already been entered. I would like to create a window that has a "NEXT" button in it. As they enter information, they can click NEXT to continue on, similar to how an install wizard works.
My question is... Is there a form type that does this? Or must I create a window with a next button, and when it is clicked, I need to set the visibility of buttons/listboxes/comboboxes/textboxes/etc to false and new ones to true?
I've created a Windows Form app in VB however I've decided the format is best suited to a Wizard style app. I've read a bit about creating wizards however I was hoping VS 2010 had a wizard to create wizards :) From what I've read there is a lot of coding to be done to create a simple wizard. Am I wrong ? Perhaps there is a third party app which generates the base wizard code?
View 4 RepliesThe idea is that I would have a set of forms, users would click through a "forward" and "back" button, and the current form would change to a different one.

View 3 Replieshow to upload to FTP, however when using the FileUpload control inside a Wizard control, when you move to the next step, the File you selected gets cleared because of the postback. I need to be able to rename the file according to the results from the Wizard before uploading. So...
I finish my wizard It uploads some stuff to a database Renames the file according to those results Uploads the renamed file to the FTP server
I suspect I will need to follow a procedure something like this, having an upload button next to FileUpload
On "Upload" button click stream the file to the Web Server. Complete the Wizard. If the wizard completes successfully, rename file and stream to FTP server. If the wizard fails, what? Delete the file from the web server? How?
I think I understand the process, how to split my FTP Upload function into two parts with the proper error handling for when the wizard fails.
Protected Sub UploadFile(ByVal NewFilename As String)
Dim myFtpWebRequest As FtpWebRequest
Dim myFtpWebResponse As FtpWebResponse
