Custom Button Is Showing Border When Not Supposed To?
Aug 25, 2008
I was playing around with designing a custom interface for a test application and I am using a custom image for a close button. I am using the FlatStyle properties to define it's look'n'feel. I've set the border to 0 but when the application loses focus, the border of the button shows up.I have tried to force the property to go 0 again when the application's "LostFocus" event is captured but doesn't work.I am also using a "rollover" method using MouseHover and MouseLeave events to change the image of the button.Using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.
I'm currently working on an application that I'd really like to be able to have a custom form border. I have it set up right now that the close, minimise and maximise buttons work, as well as moving it around. The issue however is that, although the movement is working, once it starts, it does not stop. So I can drag it around and it works perfectly, but if I want to stop dragging it around and click elsewhere, the form moves to the position from which it was being dragged.
Public Class Form1 Dim clickhold As Boolean Dim doonce As Boolean Dim mousebase As Point
I set my FormBorderStyle of my form to none.This is exactly what i want, except I ran into a problem.When the background is gray (background of other applications running in the background), my form tends to fade in with the background (Still active, but i cant see where my form starts or ends).
How would I make my own custom border style? I want to make my own so that the program looks better and havign its own close/minimize button would be awesome also. Here is what I mean by it:[URL] notice it doesnt use the normal xp or vista bar it is its own? How would I go about doing that?
I have below code that set customised form border color and title. the form is missing icon though.how to add icon to the form as well.
Code blocks are created by indenting at least 4 spaces... and can span multiple lines 'A form with custom border and title bar.'Some functions, such as resize the window via mouse, are not implemented yet.
Public Class CustomBorderColorForm 'The color and the width of the border. Private borderColor As Color = Color.GreenYellow Private borderWidth As Integer = 3
If I use a button, I can't get rid of the white border apearing around it as soon as I press it. It stays there even after until I press something else. In the button properties I declared the Flatstyle as Standard because I like that look the most.
I'm on page 243 of "Sam's Teach Yourself Visual Basic 2008" and it says: * Display the ViewerForm form in the Form Designer * Double-click on the Draw Border button on the toolbar. Only -- I don't see a Draw Border button on the toolbar.
I am setting my Winforms Button control properties to appear as a hyperlink would on a web page. I've formatted everything fine, except the border in the FlatAppearance object. I have code to act as pseudo-CSS (FormBackColor is a string constant.):
The code removes the border from the flat Button control except on MouseOver, where I add a 1 pixel border. On MouseLeave, I remove the border. This is to show some visual feedback. This works fine when the button does not have the focus. However, if I click on the button, giving the button focus, mousing out and over again now shows a greater than 1 pixel border around the button. I'm imagining it's combining my button's explicit 1 pixel border with the traditional "Winform Button has the focus, so add a border" border around the Button.How can I disable/remove the "Winform Button has the focus, so add a border" border? Or, should I just do a check in ButtonMouseOver to check if the control has the focus, being a condition of adding the border, and just be done with it?
How to set the BUTTON border line color transparent? Because my BUTTON background pic is not a square. So when i click the button i will see the border line ..
I'm finishing up an app for work that will work hand in hand with another app.
What I'd really like to do, is setup a method to add a button to the other apps border. So all they have to do is click that button when in that other app, do their business and move on.
Now, if I hadn't seen it before, I most certainly would've thought that this wouldn't be possible. But I've seen TeamViewer do it.
In that image, TeamViewer created a two-way arrow button and when clicked, displays a small panel of some sort with additional options.
I'm 99.99% sure I'll have to use Windows APIs, but I'm not sure where to begin.
I have a solution with about 5 projects, the main (startup) project is a windows forms project while the others are control libraries that contain some custom controls. The main winforms project however also contains some custom controls.
Recently, the controls in the main winforms project have stopped appearing in my toolbox. The controls from the other control library projects appear just fine, but none of the controls in my main project will show...
Some of the projects are VB, some are C#.
I have tried everything I know to fix it:Delete bin/debug folders and restart Build, build, build, build, and build Target the same .NET Framework version and CPU platform in all projects Build again Nothing works...
All projects target .NET Framework 4.0 and compile for the x86 platform (since I am using Access db). All projects build successfully, no errors. I can run the solution just fine. I can even declare and add the controls in code and they work just fine. They just don't show up in the toolbox so I can't drag them to my form and I have to dig into the designer code everytime, which is really annoying!
I want to add a button or a picture box into the form border like in microsoft word 2007 or in windows 7's ms paint but i can't figure out for the life of me how to go about doing it. I am using Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition
I have a little problem with the shadow of a button when in popup style. [code] This fat border only disappear if I click another button; then the fat border is instead on that button. I'm sure this is by design, but I want this button style without this "feature". Is it possible to avoid the remaining border shadow behavior?
I have created a custom Combobox and added it to my toolbox, and it works well. Now I have added a custom ListBox to the same file as the combo box, but it does not show on my designer when I place it. I can however add it at runtime. ''ComboBox <DefaultEvent("SelectedIndexChanged"), _ ToolboxBitmap(GetType(System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox))> _ Public Class ProjectsComboBox Inherits ComboBox ''My Customization [Code] ..... I have tried removing the "DefaultEvent..." and still no dice.

I have created a custom control that has a few labels and a button on it. In my main program i dyanmically add this control to a stackpanel. When i add the control i add a few events for it by doing th e following:
Dim newqueue As New UserControl1 AddHandler newqueue.MouseDoubleClick, AddressOf PrintMessage
How would i go about adding an event for the button.click for the button in the custom control?
I want to divide the content in my application to groups each group has its own rectangle border with the group name located at the top border, i've seen it before and i'm not sure what is the correct name of this control, anyone knows what I'm talking about ? EDIT: Ok, I found the Groupbox Control but how do i use it? should i just drag other controls inside it or i should add controls directly into it?
I am trying to change every form title bar and border to green in my project. How do you change the all the forms title bar and border to green without changing other window applications title bar and border?
I have a form that has two buttons and a lable on it. The first button shows up and works fine (it opens a file). But the second button does not show up on the form at all. Yes, the Visible property = TRUE. I also have a second label on the screen, but it is not showing up either.
o I've had to reinstall both the .net and visual studios 2010 to get back to being able to program my game, yet this strange issue is still in existence...all of a sudden, like 4 hours prior to not being able to program anymore, I ran into the issue of my login form FRMlogin.vb not running upon clicking the button that sends you to its page... it will not show up for some unknown reason, and both me and my programming buddy cannot figure out what is going wrong here. I restarted my computer twice now since reinstalling visual studios 2010 express, and the same issue is here...here is the code for the forms
the play_b4.vb code Public Class play_b4 Private Sub registered_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CMDregistered.Click FRMlogin.Show()
I'm developing a windows application using vb.net (VS 2005 and windows XP) I've set images (transparent png files) to buttons.I do it importing images into the resources of the project I could do it for most of the buttons of this project, but today I noticed new images I set, not showing in run time. In the development form I can see all images on buttons, but when I run the application, buttons with new images are missing. This happens to the new images I import and set as button images. I tried few times new images I set are not showing.
