If I drag another Form/Program or maybe lets say a context menu happens to open over my custom Control, this happens.It does correct itself after causing a redraw, however it's quite annoying. Is there anyway to avoid this?
View 5 RepliesI have already created the provision to allow the user to create and delete the button control at runtime. But now i am stuck at the dragging part. I am planning to let the user to drag the button using the mouse click event and the keyboard (left,right,up and down) key event.
May i know if there is any codes that allow the user to drag the button control around?
the below is my code for the creation and deletion of button controls at runtime.
Public Class Form1
Dim tm As New Timer
Dim Index As Integer = 0

I had this new idea for a user control Sliding Bar/Panel. See screenshot. So I quickly whipped it up but I've got this problem that I cannot figure out why it does not work. Because I wanted to make it nice and tidy I desided to use a Class (Header) and created a TypeConverter (HeaderConverter)
Code:
Public Class HeaderConverter : Inherits ExpandableObjectConverter
Protected SortOrder() As String
Public Sub New()
SortOrder = New String() {"Text", "Depth"}
End Sub
[Code] .....
and goes to the RaiseEvent but nothing happens Why?
I know I could put properties on the Container control to access the ctnbutton Control that is embedded into the control but I thought this might be a nicer way.

Normally you would move a program around by dragging the bar at the top of the window, agreed? How can you change a form in VB to move around when dragging anywhere on the form apart from a button?

This relates to WPF but is broad enough that a winform answer will do. I have made a few custom controls in the past by inheriting from whatever particular control I wish to inherent from.
I have noticed that I can add a form to a class/user control library from the add new dialog and have it run. When this application is compiled I get a DLL.
So my question is can I use a Form as a custom control. The reason I ask is I am creating a more advanced MsgBox for a new application I require and a form as its container makes the most sense.
I've search the net in order to create a custom control but nothing I find is worth looking at, The main thing I want to do is create a skinengin via DLL and import it in my vb 2010 then using or creating some sort of skin builder where I can create a full setting file which contains all the details of the customization regarding the Form(Look, Feel and the controls such as a menu), I have used Iriskin and multiple apps doing this for me and when a user installs my application they still recieve a message about buying the registered DLL file, I would like to create it completely from scratch.
View 2 Repliesthe user has the option of dragging several pictureboxes around the form. when he lets go of the mouse, the picturebox will take on a new position on the form.
i would like to implement the following:
on mouseup, if the picturebox position is within some amount maybe 50 or 100 (i dont know what units VB.net) uses, i would like it to be dropped exactly in a defined position. sort of like if you play checkers on yahoo games, you dont have to place the piece exactly on the square only approximately.
Been a while since i've bothered you gentlemen with my questions, but im back! So, I want to know, how I would be able to drag a picturebox around a form, liek a drag and drop functionality, but I dont want to move folders. Just move it around the form.

I created a custom user control named "XYZ" and It is avaialble at the toolbox menu in the design mode and I can drag and drop it to a vb.net Windows form. What I really want is to dynamically to add this user control to the Windows form during the Windows form load event. Actually I want to add this user control to a "split container" named "sc_1" on the tab page named "tp_1" on a tab control named "tc_1" on a Windows form. What is teh vb code to add a user control to a Windows form. I am using vs 2005 and dotnetwork v2.0.
View 3 RepliesI have created a custom control that is included in a control library that is referenced by a VB Forms application.
When I modify the control, and have the application open in a VS window, VS usually asks me if I want to reload items that have changed.
However, a couple of times, it has not asked me this, and when I go to open the form that contains the modified control, I get an error window warning me that if I ignore the error message and continue, then I risk making VS unstable. I've learned to ignore this error message, continue, and immediately save the form to a new file.
After maximizing a form, if I drag the title bar, the form moves out of position. This seems to be normal in windows, since IE does it also, but can I disable this? so the form stays fixed and unmovable?

I'm trying to create my own control to build a custom planning on it.After trying it with loose controls I got an error but after advice on my previous post, I redraw everything.I have now the header of the control finished, the header shows the days of the month for as many months that fit in the window.Now I want to put the list of data below it, but it will be more than the windows height, so I need to have a scroll bar that will scroll the data but not the header.I would not like to design my own scrollbar and rather use the scrollbar control for it, but when I put it in, I cannot use the NEW keyword.example:
Dim sb
As
ScrollBar
with this I get the error message: 'New' cannot be used on a class that is declared 'MustInherit'.How can I get a scrollbar on my form to scroll the list only (so not the header)?
I'm coming over from VB6 in which you could use 'user controls' to create reusuable custom controls. They were simple and contained and you can easily create several instances of a user control within the same or other apps. In vb2008 there are user controls but I can not figure out how to add them to forms or or other apps. Can someone please give me the the basic steps to add a custom user control to a form or project.

View 8 RepliesHaving some issues with creating a simple control in vb.net.
I create a control with a single label in, I don't change anything except the colour of the control and the label and also making the label anchor to the edges ( with a small border around the edge)
When i then build it and add this control to a form. Some of the edges are cut off and it isn't anchored the way it was in the control.[url]...
as you can see in the second image the control has lost its white border at the right and bottom.
I created a custom control and add it to a form programatically.
The user can add and move them all over the form.
The problem is when I want to clear the form of my user control I don't know how.

Say I create ctlCorkNotes(1) and now I want to delete it.
How do I do this so it is gone and would have to recreate it to show up again?
