Create An Image With Drop Shadow On Text Programatically?
Nov 1, 2010
I'm currently building an intranet engine for a project I've got on the go at the moment,and I'd like to save myself a little time by generating header images from code where possible, however, I'd like it to match our concept image.What I'd like to achieve is below:My issue is I've not the faintest how to create that from code. I can do the absolute basics but that's about it.I start to fall down when it comes to the gradient background and the drop shadow on the text. I can get away with positioning the text on the larger header image, so if it's not possible to generate the exact gradient I have there, then I have a work around for that, but what I really want to achieve is the text with the font and drop shadow.

So I made my form transparent by changing the transparent key to dimgray, change background color to dimgray. I also changed the picture box's BG color to dimgray everything was fine except that the drop shadow on the picture I did was just a grey blob.Is there anyway to make the drop shadow look like its a drop shadow?

So I came across this code that enables a drop shadow on a form in Visual Studio .NET 2008. The code is as follows:
Public
CS_DROPSHADOW As
Int32 = &H20000
[Code].....
I want to create a drop shadow on a group box though. What changes can I make to this and where must I insert it to do this?

I have a custom WPF window defined as:
<Window x:Class="MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" MinHeight="300" Height="350" MinWidth="600" Width="700" ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip" AllowsTransparency="True" WindowStyle="None">
I found a class online that creates drop shadows, shown below. This works well, even with a resize grip, until I maximise the window. Once I maximise the window or change the window state of another window (eg. Visual Studio), I loose the drop shadow and I cannot get it back.

I am using Excel 2007, VS2008 Pro.I am building a VSTO Add-in that requires "drag and drop from Excel cells to a drag-enabled task pane".So far I notice that I can only drag and drop within the cells themselves. It does not allow me to drop into the task Pane or drag past the sheet limits.(http:)[url]...
Note: The task pane has drag drop enabled, I ahve already tested I can drag/drop from task pane to excel but I need to do this the other way around?

I'm trying to create a shaped form with an attractive shadow effect by painting progressive alpha blended layers underneath the main visible form area (a background mask color has also been set to allow a shaped form). This is going well, but I have one major problem to resolve - the bottom shadow layer does not appear as the correct transparent shade - it always appears solidly as the background color / transparent mask color for the form.
Why does this bottom shadow layer not show up as transparent, and why is this color being shown when it is set as the transparency key for the form (and so should be invisible anyway)???[URL]..

I'm obviously looking for the wrong thing, every reference I find points me back to VB scripting.I want to be able to create a set of shortcuts to various files, within a user selected folder, programatically in VB 2005.
Searching on "links", "shorcuts" all take me in circular fashion back to WshShell ... can someone please point me toward some VB / .NET code

What I want to do is use one PC to test an application on another on the same 19.2.168.X.X.I would like to make it seem like SOAP requests are coming from a variety of different PCs, just to make the applciations log file easier to read and I have been told that virtual IP Addresses are the way to go. So, how do I defien a range and then use them one by one in VB? (I guss that this is effectively IP header spooging?)

I was wondering if there is any advantage to do everything programmatically instead of using design view to create forms, controls etc. Would there be any difference in size and/or performance after you compile it? So far I've been doing pretty much everything programmatically, specifying all the properties that aren't default for my forms controls but I am starting to wonder is there are any advantages to this, apart from making it easier (sometime) to manage and change the behavior of my controls.

I am trying to convert from a text file to an image(bitmap) file.
For example, test.txt: 01 23 34 56 78 90
[Code]....
The first step will be reading the data, so I created some VB codes:
Dim openFileDialog1 As New OpenFileDialog()
openFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt"
openFileDialog1.Title = "Select a text File"
' Show the Dialog.
' If the user clicked OK in the dialog and ' an image file was selected, open it.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
' Open file.
[Code]...
The second step will be converting the data to some data format which can be used in a bitmap image. This part is making me confused. Some codes I made is listed below:

I have a textbox that i've bound to a dataset via the IDE.i've but when adding a new record i can;t populate it programatically, but the user can type data into. The follwing code doesn't put the required text in the textbox, but i can type it it while debugging:
FQuoteCard.QuoteHeaderBindingSource.AddNew()
FQuoteCard.TextBoxBurdensOperatorID.Text = "some random text"
this doesn't seem to make any sense - i'm adding new so i should be able to populate the textbox programatically, in the same way as a user can type in the textbox.I suppose i can bind the textbox programatically after adding the text, but this somewhat defeats the object of being able to databind via the IDE.

I have used VB (versions 2 - 6) through many years; however, I am crash-course training myself into the VB2008 / VB2010 world kicking a screaming. I would like suggestions as to what SQL database access method should I focus more on in my learning process without making me feel that I'm a million years behind. I know I have WinForms where I can create a datasourse and drag / drop fields or tables on a form to create a grid (not really what I'm looking for).
My trouble isn't so much designing the form but in how I access the database. Theres XML, LINQ to SQL, ADO.NET, and many other methods. Not only do I need to grasp these methods quickly but I also need to know what type of projects I should create. What I mean is...I was thinking that I would design a WinForm app; however, I see that there are WPF apps and others to chose from. This is getting deep. I know it depends on the project that I'm working on. My plans are to write an app based off of either an SQL Express 2008 or SQL Server 2008 database. This first app will be standalone for now but may later become multi-user. I know I'm far behind on my learning curve coming from VB6. I have read a bit on VB2005 / 2008 / 2010. I own
both VB2008 and VB2010. I use VB2008 at work. I know ADO.NET is still alive but by what I read online, it's a dying method and is only kept for backward compatibility. XML and LINQ to SQL and other methods are all pretty new to me.

I'm trying to find a dropdown-style list for images I can use in a program of mine. It's fairly simple, just needs to display a few images in a grid with tooltips for each one, and I need to be able to get whichever one was last picked. For example,[URL] without the tab bar in it. Unfortunately my monetary budget is zero which means I can't purchase any controls?
