I have a Custom Groupbox that overrides the OnPaint event to do some custom drawing, backgrounds, etc. The problem I have is that when I use it in an application and want to draw text on the control, it gets drawn first, then immediately afterwards the OnPaint from the control gets called and draws on top of the text. Is there any way to get the text drawn after the control's OnPaint?
So I've created a custom ListView by inheriting it and overriding the OnDrawSubItem(). I can now draw icons in several of the columns. It's pretty nice! My question is, is there anyway to do this for the ListViewGroup? I'd like to place an icon just before the group text.
I created an application in VS2005 that draws text with a custom font and color. The images look great from my XP machine. But from another machine running Windows Vista, the graphics are messed up. It seems that the transparencies inherit the default black background so there's this gray'ish/black haze around the text...
I am using custom textboxes and I need to be able to set the Text on txb1 based on the Text of txb2. I have simplied my code to the following:
Public Class customtextbox Inherits TextBox Public Event ControlReset()
[Code]....
So, when txb1 looses focus, if its Text is "fried", then it sets off txb2's ProcessAlert function. I had tried to change the value of txb2 Text in ProcessAlert function, but didnt work, so I tried to get it to raise an event instead, which then tries to set the Text property. However I still cant set txb2's Text property. The Text property seems to be set for the duration of the "life" of the Event handler. When I step through the forms controls within the Event handler, the changed Text value is there, but not outside of the Event handler.
Im working on a lay-away form application, this particular part is part of the even where the user adds a new customer, and has come to the section for adding personal references to the customers account. What Im trying to do is to check all the text boxes inside the GroupBox control, and then add all the tags of the text boxes that are empty to the list. If the list holds any records it will be put into a message box to let the user know he missed this value. But I want them to list in one text box. Here is what I've tried:[code...]
I get a conversion error, Cannot convert Prompt to String.

I have a custom bordered groupbox with a different bordercolor as the default. I found the code on the net. It works, but when I drag the groupbox on a tabcontrol, the border goes through the text. Why? How can I fix it? Here the code:
Public Class mygroupbox Inherits GroupBox Private BorderColor As Integer = 9922355 Public Sub New()
I'm fairly experienced with making user controls and have never had this happen to me before. All of my custom properties (gloss opacity, border color, header color 1 and header color 2) are all grayed out in the properties window on the form designer when I try to add my groupbox to a form.
Here's my Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D Public Class DanGroupBox Inherits ContainerControl Dim _GlossOpacity As Integer = 50 Dim _HeaderBackColor1 As Color = Color.Silver [Code] .......
I have made a custom control and the only change to the interface is that its a different color. Whenever the user moves their mouse over the control some white text fades in in the middle of the user control. Then after a few seconds the text fades out. The text is actually the location of the cursor but I have that figured out.
I want to create an custom control just like an Autosuggest control for my windows application. When I type, it should show a grid for the suggestion have the typed value.for an example if I want to search a student "ashish". As soon as I type A in textbox, it should show its First Name, Last name, Address, its image and some other info into a grid or grid like format beneath that control. All those info will come from Database.
I was trying to create a custom currency control text box, but I am getting an error that I don't understand.I am getting the following error message when I use it with databinding:"Object of type 'System.EventHandler' cannot be converted to type
I am making a custom button control and am having some difficulty with my Text property. Anything I type in only stays while the form designer window is open. When I close the form designer and reopen it, my Text property resets to "". Also if I run the program, it loses the value entered at design time.
I also have an Image property for my control which is working just fine.
I have a form in which their is a GroupBox control. I set the Font's Bold property to TRUE. I know that by default any other control put inside a gorupbox will inherit the Font's property settings. I have textboxes and labels in which I manually reset the Font Bold property to FALSE, however, I have a DataGridView that I did the same thing with but whenever I run the app in test mode, it reverts back to the Fonts' Bold property as TRUE rather than FALSE.
I have a web application which uses the globalization values being passed from sql server 2005 using a ResourceProviderFactory. I can globalize the labels in UI using <%$ Resources: "Resourcekey" %> however, i wish to know how i can globalize the dynamic/custom controls available in the code behind of my vb.aspx page?
I 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.
So, I'm working on a custom LitBox that accepts custom items. needed the item collection to be more than just strings, I needed to be able to store avalue to display in the listbox and an associated value (Property: Text) that holds an index value (Property: Tag) of DataTable I'm working with.I have created the new item (iListBoxItem) and the collection (iListBoxItemCollection) and have modified everything so that I can do normal Collection type methods (Add, InsertAt, RemoveAt, etc) to this collection.
vb Imports System.ComponentModel Public Class iListBox

[Code]...

I have event Button that creates text box in run time.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim textbox1 As New TextBox static Dim shiftDown As Integer static Dim counter As Integer
[code]....
All the text boxes that has been created displayed in GroupBox control dynamically. how GroupBox control size can be managed according to quantity controls inside it.
I have two group boxes M Commands and C Commands on the same Dev tab page. I have P Control group box that is located in the M Commands group box that I want to move to the C Commands group box at load time.
I have five groupbox control. each groupbox contain two radiobutton. In groupbox1 if I select radiobutton1 then I need to insert value as "Y" or radiobutton2 then I need to insert value as "N" Likewise I need to do in all groupbox...........
I'd like to make a GroupBox have a black line as its boarders , just in the old VB6 , but it seems there isn't any such a property . Look , for example in the picture below : First there is GroupBox control but it can only have a line around it without color . Next , there is a Panel control , but the problem with that is that it can't have a caption set . At the far right side there is Panel control with a Label control placed over it . That's the best way I can think of in order to make something that at least will look like with what I have in mind . However , is there any other way I could do that ?
I have a groupox in a VB.NET winform app. The groupbox contains a few Labels, Textboxes and Checkboxes. This was created by simply dragging the controls out of VS toolbox. What I need to do is take the 1 Groupbox and at runtime create multiple Groupboxes to display based on user selection. Instead of dynamically creating the Groupboxes and other controls nested inside, is there a way to clone or copy the original one. Then I'd just change the properties. Label text, Textbox text, etc. And the location of the Groupbox in the layout.
How do I turn off the ability for controls within a groupbox to inherit the groupbox properties. For example, my groupbox text has a fontsize of 9 and bold. Every Label control that I put into the groupbox defaults to the same. How can I change that?
I can only add 4 linklabels no matter how big is the groupbox, i tried autoscroll but nothing. How can i do to store minimum 20 linklabels in a groupbox? Here is the whole code i used:
I decided to play around with NickThissen's Expandable GroupBox control.Expandable GroupBox//When I add a control to my form and debug or build the project, the Text of the GroupBox changes to the default. The Name and anything I put inside of the GroupBox stays the same, however.I also noticed that the control resizes to it's default size when I build and/or debug.
