At the top of my form, I have a status strip with the common "Window" dropdown that is seem in many commerical and Windows Applications. What I am attempting to do is the same that can be done in VB2010 itself. In Visual Basic, clicking the Window Dropdown allows you to choose which window is active. My whole point on this is that they are using a customized Image.Here is an image example from a program called Paint.NETIn the area of the dropdown, you can clearly see that the "Checked" images are customized. For example, Tools is showing the hammer with the glass button frame over it.What I want to know is how would I achieve this customized image set? I already know I would need at least 2 images, one for checked, one for unchecked.
my form contains a checked list box [data coming from the database] a combo box [bind to a database table product] and a listview [was previously a listbox]
project im working on for my course,the idea is a photo printing machine that loads up 4 images if usb stick is checked and a different 4 if memory card is checked. and then whatever image is selected appears in the big picturebox on the left [URL] i have 2 print size options set as radiobuttons, radiobutton 1 = 6x4, which costs 25cent per photo, radiobutton 2 = 8x10, and is 50cent per photo.i also have a textbox which will display the number of copies to be printed So here's my dilemma, when the print button is selected alongside one of the radiobuttons i want it to display a message saying something like this "you have selected (whatever the amount of copies)of this photo sized 6x4, or 8x10 depending on which radiobutton is selected, and i want it to display the total cost which is the number of copies multiplied by the rate for the print size selected, then an option saying "Do you wish to proceed" Yes or No.
I did something similar to this in class earlier in the year but cant remember it, it was an airline booking program with 3 types of payment cash, visa or mastercard,upon booking a message popped up saying there is a certain percentage discount for using visa or mastercard
I've got a checked listbox on my form which saves the checked items to a spot in my database on the .ItemCheck event.But there's a problem, when I begin checking items, I check the box and click off it, but it doesn't save. (This is if I've only chosen one item)
If I choose two or more items it will save, but unchecking them takes a lot of clicking around to figure it out.Is there a better event that I can use? I've tried the SelectedIndexChanged and that has the same result, there's a lot of clicking around in the checkboxes to end up with the desired selected items, and it does not allow a single item.
In a listview with check boxes, there are two fields being loaded, ID and Lastname. With this information I want to get the ID of the person whose box is checked with this sub:
I trying to get what I think should be a simple thing. I have a checked treeview. I need to get the text of each checked node into a string. For the life of me I can't get it. I am trying to loop thru all the nodes and see if they are checked but I keep getting a "object reference not set to an instance of an object" but I don't know why.
Dim value As String Dim node As TreeNode Dim i As Long
I want to place 24 check boxes on a form. I want to enable drag and drop for each and place the code to handle the drop on a customized check box, then create each check box from the custom check box. I understand how to create the custom check box, my dillemma is I would like to be able to drop the new control on the form using the form designer IDE.
I have a FolderBorwserDialog named fbdProfileDirectory and would like to start the dialog at a specific folder (other than the System.Environment.SpecialFolder options). I would like it to start in a file at "C:\Browser\". The program has created this folder and copied contents from a separate directory already. Is there a way to start FolderBrowserDialog, or a similar dialog box at a specific folder?
Is it possible to build customized Designers in Visual Studio, for example to mimic the Designer function of the stock Settings template, for classes whose instance variables change drastically from project to project?
UPDATED: Feel like this shouldn't be that complicated, but I think I just don't know the proper name for what I'm trying to do. I'm dealing with an ASP.net project. The concept is pretty simple: I have a library that supplies some ecomm functions. One class in the libary contains functions around calculating tax. One class in the library revolves around the cart header. This class is consumed by a web project.
Suppose I have a Microsoft Expression Blend. Is it possible to create a custom control (such as a button) in MSE Blend and then import it to visual basic 2010?For example, I want to create a custom shape button (different from what is available in the toolbox in VB2010) (like for example a pen-shaped button) in MSE Blend. Can I import it to VB2010 to be used with Windows Forms Projects? If yes, how?
I'm attempting to create a customized dictionary object, because I want to add some code to the Add routine, and I can't just inherit because Add is not overridable.
So I'm creating a class that implements IDictionary. Already I am confused, because Dictionary implements a lot of interfaces, listed below:
But IDictionary inherits ICollection and IEnumerable, so why implement all three (and don't they have overlapping methods)?
#2, when I implement IDictionary, the code fills in two Add methods (one for the ICollection add of a keyvaluepair, one for the Idictionary method). Apparently both these add methods are required for Idictionary, yet a regular dictionary (which implements IDictionary) only has one Add method that I can see. I actually would like to have only one Add method if possible. Why am I being asked to make two (and that's before all the other interfaces have been added)?
I am creating a windows application for my company. in the master file i will enter the number of items we are getting from the customer. and in the next page i have to enter the details of each item. For that i have created a datagrid which has one autogenerate number field and the remaining fields must be editable. So that when i enter all the values in the datagrid, it has to go and save in the data base.
I have a class clsContextPopUpMenu to create a ContextMenuStrip with some basic functions (e.g.copy) that I can use in different controls. [code] A broader question is that when should I dispose objects/resource by myself? Of course, gc collector is not a magician to release all available memory. Can I always dispose objects/resource in Dispose Sub as shown above?
I have placed a background image on my windows application form and when tab stops to a particular button it's color is changed and looks awkward...Can anyone tell me that how can I set some customized color for tabstop or set its value to null????I've tried the answer from BalaR i.e. button.ShowFocusCues = falase in load event of the form but it says that it can't be used like this and it is protected
I have a series of 12 individual projects developed under a single solution. Now I want to create a Setup Project for installation of these projects. I want to have single setup.exe as output which should install either 1 one of these 12 projects based on the user selection.Whenever user tries to install these by clicking setup.exe, he must be provided the option of selecting the project and then installation should proceed installing the corresponding exe.
In my program's properties, I customized my application icon, which I also set on the main form's icon property. If I look in my bin/Release folder or if I run my program I see my customized icon. If I right-click and select Send to -> Desktop on Windows XP, I see a shortcut with my ICON on the desktop. If I do the same thing on Windows 7, I get the default ugly icon. What should I do to get my custom icon on Windows 7 when I make a shortcut from my main EXE?
I have created a customized list (by implementing IList) where I added a few special methods. Sometimes (but not always), I only want to expose this list as read-only. To do this for normal lists, I use the Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection wrapper, which works fine typically. But it seems by passing my customized list through this wrapper, my added methods are no longer visible, which defeats the whole purpose of having this customized list object in the first place. How can I create a read-only version of a customized list?
I have created a customized control in which i have used some different property names. For eg. if the actual property name in the base class is "Text", i have used the name "CtlText" by internally implementing the "text" property with some additional checks. Now i want the user to use only "CtlText" property during coding. Currently the user is able to see 2 property with same functionalities.
Is there anyway i can surpress the using of a property during runtime?In design time we can hide it using the "Browsable" attribute, but i need to hide the same during runtime also.
I just wanted to ask you. basically, how to make OPENVPN like the one existing now. I do have a working openVPN certificates, but i wanted to run it on my own customized client. i tried searched by its on a different programming language, there's one but still its not on .net.

I've been working with System.Drawing for awhile and like to think I have a good handle on it; I've created classes that draw grids, write text in gridboxes and rectangles, convert rectangles to circles, fill areas with color, etc. What I don't have is any sense of artistry at all, and I don't have the slightest clue how one would use System.Drawing to draw a rectangle and then color/slope the edges so that it looks like a System.Windows.Forms.Button would, or how to make it look like it's inset deeper than the surrounding Form, like setting a Panel's BorderStyle to Fixed3D.
I'm having issues on where to begin on the next step in my Visual Studio 2010 project.
Here's my original code:
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown If e.KeyCode = Windows.Forms.Keys.VolumeUp Then Shell("C:USBRelayUSBRelay.exe -c:3 -r:1#1")
I want to group records based on the Year value. There should be a different table for records whose Year = 1st Year, 2nd year, 3rd Year etc... (Guys this is in printing, OK?)
