View 3 RepliesHow can I write text inside a RectangleShape or OvalShape?
View 3 RepliesI have a large VB.Net 2008 rich client database app and in it some screens take a bit to load, 1 - 5 seconds and two of them take up to 15 seconds. Right now I have a me.hide in my form load, I do my loading of drop downs and data, then do a me.show. It works decent and gives the impression that the program is quick. What I would like to do however is have a "waiting" or "loading" screen with a animated gif pop up while it's doing its data loads.
So I created a "WaitingForm" that has no border and a single picture box. In the form load of this waiting form it assigns a animated gif to the picture box. I set the form to be top most, no control box, etc.
If I call this waiting from from within my from load events as WaitingForm.show the animation doesn't work and the form only half shows (and in the wrong place on the screen). If I call this form using a WaitingForm.ShowDialog it correctly shows in the center of it's parent and displays the animated icon BUT blocks the calling form from processing and defeats the entire purpose.
How do I display the waiting form like it's a dialog box so it correct centers on it's parent and displays correctly but doesn't block the lower form from processing? Currently when I call the waiting form I give it a integer for how many seconds to display and then a timer on the waiting form counts down and closes itself. Do I need to use a worker thread and if so what is the easiest way to do this so the code is reusable from multiple different screens?
So, I have a textbox with the following text.
Code:
TITLE"Hello there"
blah blah blah etc...
I want my program to find the TITLE text, and then put the text in the double quotations in a variable.
i want to loop through the form control RectangleShape but they show me a ereur when i write the type of the controle ((RectangleShape))
For Each cnt As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf cnt Is RectangleShape Then
End If
Next
they show me this ereeur : "type 'RectangleShape' is not defined."
it works as well whene i use the control type TextBox or any other controls in the VS FORM like this :
For Each cnt As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf cnt Is TextBox Then
End If
Next

View 2 RepliesAm making a mario type game for a college project and really want to get close to mario, apart from the physics which seem to be harder then I thought.Here is my current code for making my RectangleShape (named 'player') bounce once:[code]This should work, however i can still bounce more than once while remaining in mid air.
View 4 RepliesThe generation of the shape is controlled at runtime by data read from a file to set all the properties I care about e.g. Size, Location, Color, BorderWidth etc. Now, I would like to render it on a form. This should be trivial, but I can't just add it as a control so something different must be done...
Dim rc As RectangleShape
rc = New RectangleShape
rc.Location = New Point(100, 100)
rc.Size = New Point(150, 150)
Do I need to create some container on the form first, am I missing one of the commands to cause it to draw and/or connect it to a specific form, something else?
I've installed Visual Basic Power Pack 3 in Visual Studio 2008 SP1. I wanna change the background color of RectangleShape in a C# WinForm !!! I changed FillColor property and BackColor property to Black but nothing happened and RectangleShape's background color didn't changed.
How can I change the background color of RectangleShape ?
I seemed to have have ruined my settings on VS 2010... I can't get the Shapes to work just after I had fixed the problem with the PowerPacks, and then it deleted all of my shapes I had on my form after I was tweaking the code and added another shape. And ever since, the shapes make errors and I can't change there colors. I've tried reinstalling VS 2010, and changing refferences doesn't work anymore. The title is the problem I have with trying to add a shape through the code in my project, here is the code for that:
Public Class Form1
Public Circle As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.OvalShape()
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I have a textbox on a form which I load the contents of a text file into. The values for some of the properties are as follows:
Readonly = false
Wordwrap = false
Multiline = true
Scrollbars = Vertical
When the scrollbars is set to vertical, then I am able to make any changes to the text inside of the textbox, deleting, typing in new text, cutting and pasting, etc. However if the scrollbars is set to both, then the only thing I am able to do is delete the text. It does not allow me to type any text into the textbox. All the other settings are the same as before. How would I make the text region editable with scrollbars set to both?
What would I need to add to my if statement to grab the inner text of that span id and place it into a Label?
