Display Dialog With List Of Web Colors For User To Choose?
Jun 5, 2011
How can I display a color dialog with a list of known web colors for the user to choose?
E.g.
black
white
dimgray
gray
darkgray
silver
etc.
I need to display ALL web colors
I'm relearning VB.net just for fun, so consider me new at this. I'm trying to write a program where the user can input a list of names or numbers, and the program will randomly pick one of those names or numbers. So far, I can get it to randomly generate numbers based on what I put in the code, but I don't know what I should use for the user to input the data, and how to code it so that the program will pick from that data.
I am using VB .net 2010 express from microsoft. I have a numeric up down box to display a variable that the user can choose a number for. Then I have a text box that I want to display a result of the updown box * 1.5... So far I have the following... What do I need or need to change? I have the integer variables initialized or whatever with Dim statements as follows -
'speed variables Dim CruisingSpeed As Integer 'cruise speed - updown box Dim FlankingSpeed As Integer 'Flanking speed - will be cruise * 1.5
[CODE]..................
It says that it cannot convert the up down box into an integer... I need it as an integer to calculate the other number...
Complete code just in case the above was not enough info...
'Imports Excel 'Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1

I have some stuff commented out because a variety of issues - some I will end up using and some I will end up taking out before it is done...
I'm writing an Excel file recovery program with VB.Net that tries to be a convenient place to gather and access Microsoft's recommended methods. If your interested in my probably kludgy, error filled, and lacking enough cleanup code it's here: http:[url]..... The basic functionality seems to work although I haven't tested graph macro table recovery yet.
It occurred to me that Vista and Windows 7 users could benefit from being offered a list of previous versions of the file within my application if the Shadow Copy Service is on and there are previous copies. How do I do this?I looked at a lot of web pages but found no easy to crib code. One possibility I guess would be to use vssadmin via the shell but that is pretty cumbersome. I just want to display a dialogue box like the Previous Versions property sheet and allow users to pick one of the previous versions. I guess I could just display the previous version property sheet via the shell by programmatically invoking the context menu and the "Restore previous versions choice", however I also want to be able to offer the list for Vista Home Basic and Premium Users who don't have access to that tab even though apparently the previous versions still exist. Additionally if it possible I would like to offer XP users the same functionality although I'm pretty sure with XP only the System files are in the shadow copies.
I looked at MSDN on the Shadow Copy Service and went through all the pages, I also looked at AlphaVSS and AlphaFS and all the comments. I'm kind of guessing that I need to use AlphaVss and AlphFS and do the following?Find out the list of snapshots/restore points that exist on the computer.Mount those snapshots.Navigate in the mounted volumes to the Excel file the user wants to recover and make a list of those paths.With the list of paths handy, compare with some kind of diff program, the shadow copies of the files with the original.Pull out the youngest or oldest version (I don't think it matters) of those shadow copies that differ from the recovery target.List those versions of the files that are found to be different.This seems cumbersome and slow, but maybe is the fastest way to do things. I just need some confirmation that is the way to go now.
Is there a standard .NET control for what I call "a two pane picker", or do I have to code it by hand?
Two pane picker:
The left pane has a list of items. The user can pick items from the left pane to put them in the right pane using buttons between the two panes. Picked items in the right pane can be reordered with buttons.
An example of the "two pane picker" can be found by right clicking the Quick Access toolbar in Word 2007 and clicking "Customize Quick Access Toolbar..."
Note: If applicable, VB.NET answers preferred, but C# answers are acceptable too.
I have a simple desktop application that uses a .NET setup project (.msi file) to perform the installation. On the first installation, everything proceeds in a timely fashion with good feedback for the user.The problem occurs when the user is installing the latest version of the application over an old version on their machine.There is an unacceptably long delay of about 60 to 180 seconds from the time the installer's 'Welcome' dialog [It's not the Welcome dialog, I've removed that from the Start section of the setup project and replaced it with a CheckBox dialog to ask if the user wants a shortcut on the desktop] disappears until the 'Progress' dialog appears. The user sees minute(s) of blank screen and thinks the install has stopped or failed.
In the setup project properties, I've got the 'DetectNewerInstalledVersion' and 'RemovePreviousVersions' properties set to true. So, I believe that while nothing appears to be happening, the installer is actually removing the old version. The 'Progress' dialog does not appear until the new version begins installation.I've been trying to either:
a) Get the 'Progress' dialog to display immediately after the 'Install Icon' dialog disappears
b) Show another dialog while the Uninstall is running to let the user know that the setup is still running and everything is OK.
I have been unsuccessful with both methods. I'm using VS 2008 SP1?
Write an application that tests the user�s knowledge of road signs. The application should display a random sign image and ask the user to select the sign name from a Combobox.
This is what I'm trying to do: I have a listbox to display a list of costs that the user inputs. I want to use some kind of loop to add those numbers from the listbox sequentially, then display the total in a label.
How do I set up a loop (and what kind of loop is best) to pull the numbers and add them to a total? give an example of what the code might look like. I'm new to VB
I'm new to the Vb.net. To display the list of files in the given folder, need to processing the files one by one based on the user given the order/arrangement in form based interface.
How can do this in vb.net 2005 or any suggestion.?
I have a simple problem to solve: dispay row in my datagridview in alternating colors, say Gray, Blue. I'm connecting to an Access database, and pulling records out of a single table as shown in the code below:
I have a puzzleing situation where only 120 of 151 colors defined in ColorList(i) display.
In the following code, btnsetup_click assigns 151 colors to a matrix of rectangles in a picture box. When 1 of these rectangles is clicked, it assigns the color to btnPen or btnBrush, depending on a left or right mouse click. Hovering over the rectangle displays the name of the color in label 'ColorOver'.
This all works fine except only the colors 0 to 119 from the array are actually displayed in the picture box. Yet, if I hover or click over the missing colors, the color name is displayed and the button is assigned the color that should be displayed.
Dim ts As Integer = 25 'sides of toolbox squares Dim tc As Integer = 24 'Tool columns Private Sub btnSetup_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSetup.Click
A while ago I wrote something that was incredibly simple, however it was 3 years ago and I can't for the life of me find where I saved it(upgraded computers twice since then and a few things managed to disapear in the process) I tried for the last few days trying to figure out how I did it and realized that someone may be able to see what I cannot.
I made a pop-up blocker in my Visual Basic browser. Here is my code:
WebBrowser1_NewWindow
e.cancel = true
msgbox "Pop-Up Blocked!"
But how can I make it to where the user can choose if they want the pop-up blocker on or off? Also, how can I make it block pop-ups, but still open clicked links in a new window of my browser? Just curious.
I am using several instances of a panel object I am creating.I would like to be able to draw a diagonal line from the upper right to the lower left corner of some of the instances.I have been able to create the panel with a background image that has a white line on a transparent background, and I can switch it on and off, but I would like the line to have the active text color.How can I make an image object that uses the system palette?
I have two List(Of String).Both Lists contain duplicate strings. I want to pick out all the strings which are contained in both the Lists. For example:
I made a program to make a random name up from 2 textboxes on my program ( a firstname textbox and a lastname textbox). But the problem is that I'm just getting the names in order they were put in. I was using this code
Dim fname2 As String = fname.Lines(F) Dim lname2 As String = lname.Lines(L) and once it generated the name I would put
I have a list of colors i.e.: "1323523, 12342, 2354, 356234, 234234"Each of these numbers stand for a color. I would like it so that when there is colordialog.showdialog, this list of colors shows up in the colordialog custom boxes. This is how i am doing it currently, but for some reason the customcolors are not being added. i know for a fact that my array is good because i checked it.
Is it possible to Insert text with different color in the same list box ? For example , the contents of the list box could be :Line 1Line 2Line 3Line 4
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) 'Creates a string that holds the path to your file. 'this path uses the Special Dir .MyDocuments 'so on my computer LogPath = "C:UsersTechNoHickDocuments" 'on your computer LogPath might = "C:UsersKirbyDocuments" Dim LogPath As String = String.Format("{0} est", My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments) Dim FileName As String = "test.txt"

I am using visual basic 2010 express and would like to know how i can use a text box of sorts or windows explorer function to allow a user to save a file to a location of their choosing.At the moment a folder and .txt file is created in the mydocuments folder of the user's computer using this code
On my datatable (I hope that's the correct word) I have two columns that I want to store color values. I changed the data type to "System.Drawing.Color".
However it would appear I cannot simply type in the string (e.g: "Color.Black") to add it to the database. And when using an update SQL query and make it look for color values on the form, it wants to convert them to string.
Is it possible to store color values like this in this way or do I have use another method?
Is there an easy way to display the rgb code of system colors in VB2008?
That is, I am looking for some code that will retrieve the names of the colors that are used in the system colors and display their rgb codes (and maybe show a sample), so I could display, for example, what the rgb code for "control" is.
Basically I need to make a program that lets a user browse and choose a folder, then I need a box that the user can then select the files to work with, then with the selected files I need to put them into a zip file. I'm trying to use a list view box but having all kinds of problems using the data in it.
i am currently developing a small basic program that will let the user choose a multiple amount of car parts and it will add it up and display a quote at the end.
I have an application that, when I finish it, will generate a graph of data drawn from a My SQL Database. It's going to be a simple time graph, with time on the bottom and a few stuff on the y axis.What I want is for the user to be able to enter the date. I would like it to be like a numeric stepper. Before I had two numeric steppers in the form but I decided one would be best.The idea was it would be like this: mm:hh [UP/DOWN ARROWS HERE]I saw one that was in use in an actual program. It had it so when you clicked the minutes, it selected the minutes and you could change them. The you could select the hours and change them. How would I do this?
Here is a simplified hierarchy of a application I want to create:
1. Mainform - here should be a navigation pane, where a user can choose which modul he wants to use.
2. Childform Reports, Childform Maintenance, Childform To Do, Childform Management, ... - depending on which modul of the program the user wants to work with, a proper childform will appear as the main working part of the application
3. Childform CostReport, Childform TurnoverReport, Childform EmployeesReport, ... - if user wants to work with Childform Reports (chosen in 2. paragraph) he can work with one of these childforms.
I wanted to do this with MDI childforms, but visual basic keeps telling me that a form can be a MDI container only as a toplevel, which Childform Reports isn't. So i can make the program till 2nd paragraph but when i want to make the 3rd, its a problem.
I put the error here: "Top-level style of a parented control cannot be changed.
Parameter name: value"
Is there a workaround?
Maybe i could use TabControl for the 3rd paragraph, but its not that convient, since I want to use more "tabs" or forms...
