View 1 RepliesForce Visual Styles When Using .NET Forms Interop From VB6?
Jan 4, 2011I have created a VB.NET Class Library that exposes some COM Interop sub routines. These in turn show various forms that are contained within the Class Library. When the forms are shown from VB6 they do not inherit the visual styles of the operating system and act like VB6 controls.
I gather that this probably by design but is there some way to force/control visual styles manually in the .NET assembly? I would imagine that if I use a manifest in my VB6 app then everything will use the correct style but I would like to be able to control this myself if possible because we are using 3rd party controls in VB6 that do not require a manifest.
Turn Off Visual Styles For One Control/window?
May 26, 2009I've done much research in how to turn off visual styles for a custom drawn control, and coming only close on how to do this.
The problem I am seeing is that Application.EnableVisualStyles affects a boolean which tells the control how it should paint itself. I don't have a problem with styles being enabled, but rather getting a button to be drawn without using the visual styles rendering function.
Public Class LookupButton
Inherits Button
#Region "Disable Themes"
[Code]....
Method 2 simply does not do anything, nor would I want to use it, since it calls unmanaged code.
Method 1 does the right thing for the button, disabling the theme, but of course it does way more than that causing the entire window/app to blink with/without visual styles. And even if this did work, I wouldn't use it because it effects the entire application.
We need visual styles enabled on progress bars, since marquee will be used on a few database calls.
The button has an image ontop of it which gets cut off by the visual styles rounded corners. And there are a few more controls which would be benificial to turn off visual styles as well.
If there is anyway to manipulate the ButtonRenderer so it does not render using visual styles, this is the solution I am looking for. Having no styling for any buttons is preferable.
This is for a project I am working on for my company. We have Visual Studio 2005 .NET Team Edition (per customer request), and are gold certified (which I don't want to give up community support/supporting the community, but is there any programming forums for us where our answers could be answered before 24 hours and/or the questions goes into consideration when microsoft develops tool?).
To me it seems silly to have Visual Styles enable-able for the whole application, when dealing with the windows api, individual windows/controls can easily be themed or unthemed.
Visual Basic PowerPacks Line Styles?
Apr 19, 2011When I draw a line on the form using Visual Basic Power Packs the ends of the line are squared off. Is there way to round them off? In code I could write something like this to do it:
vb.net
Dim pn As New Pen(Color.Black, 5)
pn.StartCap = Drawing2D.LineCap.Round
pn.EndCap = Drawing2D.LineCap.Round
How could I do it with Power Packs?
VS 2010 XP Visual Styles Breaks Controls?
May 6, 2012I'm sure I'm doing something wrong because I can't see how the problems I'm having with controls' appearance in Win7 can be normal. When "Enable XP visual styles" is enabled in my application, my progressbars never fill and gridlines don't show in Listviews. Disabling XP visual styles fixes those problems, but then everything looks like Win98 and that's no solution.

Creating An App Mainfest File For Comctl32 And Xp Visual Styles ?
Apr 19, 2011I am using VB.Net 2008. I am using a 3rd party dll in my app that requires xp visual styles to be turned off, or that a manifest file be added to my app to re-direct comctl32.dll (link to 3rd party workaround:[URL]
I tried creating the manifest according to: [URL] This did not change the issue. Perhaps I did not add the manifest properly?
Here are the steps I tried:
1. Add xml file to app and name it MyApp.exe.manifest
2. Add the xml file to my resources.
The above did nothing so I removed it and then:
3. Add xml file to app and name it Comctl32.dll.manifiest
4. Add the xml file to my resources.
That did nothing either.
Here is the manifiest I tried adding:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">

Dealing With Different Coding Conventions/Styles In Visual Studio?
Sep 1, 2010I'm working on two different projects - both in VB.NET/Visual Studio 2008 (as much as I'd like to move to 2010).
I find I'm confusing the different coding standards that I'm supposed to follow. IE - Project1 wants variables named in a Hungarian-style notation like 'iSomeValue'; the does not want a prefix. One project requires an _ prefix on private class-level variables - etc...etc...
Are there any tools I can integrate with VS 2008 that will let me easily swap between pre-defined styles and format my code for me?

Visual Studio - How To Disable Pinging During Tests
Jun 9, 2012I have a class that uses My.Computer.Network.Ping to get a boolean value on whether a IP address or hostname is reachable.However, when I'm testing that class, I want to disable pinging so that during the test whenever I run the My.Computer.Network.Ping it will always return false or throw some kind of exception.
I have tried the following, but I still get a true returned (meaning, the attempts to disable ping didn't work)
Dim restricited As New System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInformationPermission(System.Security.Permissions.PermissionState.None)
Dim mySocketPermission1 As New SocketPermission(PermissionState.None)

Disable Errors In The Error List In Visual Studio
Jul 15, 2009I have a large solution which contains a mixture of C# and VB.Net projects.If I get compilation errors because a project which several other projects depend upon fails to build, it is very hard to see the actual error(s) because of the number of VB errors in the error list window in Visual Studio. C# errors found in the projects I compiled show in the error list, but all VB errors appear (including in those projects I have not just compiled).Is there any way of turning off this behaviour so that VB errors only appear for projects that I have explicitly compiled?

Windows Media Player Not Working On Windows XP Using Visual Studio Application?

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog].
I guess this is a reference issue, but I have added references to WMP libraries (axinterop.wmplib.dll and interop.wmplib.dll). The WMP works on the XP machine, but not when called from my application.I have searched the web now for 5 days and changed references, and reinstalled the media player on the XP machine, but nothing works.
