Displaying Windows Form As A Child Of User Control?
May 30, 2009
I have a User control having two panels. one at the top border and second at the bottom border of the control.
The panels contain some buttons on the click of which i want to display some forms. But I want thoes forms to act like children of the user control i.e. like MDi Parent - Child (here parent being User control and child being the new forms which would be opening). Unfortunately i've not been able to find any way of do'in so.

I try to create a MDI child form that should be resizable but it should not have a title bar visible. Is it possible? Or is there a better method to display child windows within a main form than displaying other forms. In this case the panel would be visually better than the form but the panel cannot be set to act as a child like a form.

There are two panels in my parent form. In the right panel there is one list view. The problem is that whenever I load the child form, the child form goes back of the list view. I want to load the child form at top of the list view. I tried to set the property of list view

I created a custom user control named "XYZ" and It is avaialble at the toolbox menu in the design mode and I can drag and drop it to a vb.net Windows form. What I really want is to dynamically to add this user control to the Windows form during the Windows form load event. Actually I want to add this user control to a "split container" named "sc_1" on the tab page named "tp_1" on a tab control named "tc_1" on a Windows form. What is teh vb code to add a user control to a Windows form. I am using vs 2005 and dotnetwork v2.0.

The following zipped up Visual Studio Solution on Skydrive is immediately buildable and runnable; a usercontrol on a Form. Problem? If you click on any of the Edit Buttons and move the Horizontal Scroll, the values as they change in the Label_Values are off by one when you release the slider button. I think this is a timing problem between the Paint handler and the Horizontal Scroll event handler at the very bottom of the User Control code. Sorry I didn't eliminate

I'm trying to include a user control in an aspx page, it works fine, but my control does position itself where I want it and always appears at the very top of the page. Could it have something to do with the masterpage? I've tried registering the user control in the master page, but I don't know how to reference it in the content page.[code]

My application uses an MDI form, and there are instances where the end user will need multiple child windows open at a time. I need an easy way for the user to switch between windows, which made me think of using tabs kinda like Firefox, or like the tabs in the Visual Studio IDE up at the top where you can switch between open forms and code files.
I'm curious if there is a control in .NET that will already do this? I would rather not re-invent the wheel if I can help it. Google has failed me thus far.

I am still messing around with Cntrl/Copy and Paste from a menustrip. Paste is working fine. The copy is working to a certain extent. It will copy the complete text field from one control to another. how do I determine what is the selected text only. My code below:
Private Sub CopyToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles CopyToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim activeChild As Form = Me.ActiveMdiChild ' Determine the active child form.
Dim activeControl As Control = activeChild.ActiveControl

I am creating a form for work where managers can report when they find a customer's personal information laying around on a desk (we work at a call center where agents answer calls for a wireless cell phone provider, so we take personal information security very seriously). Anyway, I am wondering if there is a way to have a text box autofill with that manager's windows username (since they will need to be logged into their own profile to use the form).

I'm relatively new to VB programming & My question was, how do you see the control source or rowsource of a text box so that you can make I display data. I have a case where I am trying to display sub-totals from an exce spreadsheet into a text-box on a User-form. And is it possible to make a selection in one listbox and have corresponding selection highlighted in another listbox?

I am writing a program to control light and sound for a show I'm working on.
The program has buttons and stuff controlling music and sound effects but I am at a loss as to how to get the video part to work.
My computer is hooked up to a projector in extended desktop mode. (I can't change that, otherwise my control panel would show up on the big screen.
I need the video to display on Screen 2 (the projector), so I made a form and used this code:
Dim screen As Screen
screen = screen.AllScreens(1) 'the array is 0 based
Form2.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual
Form2.Location = screen.Bounds.Location + New Point(0, 0)
Form2.ShowDialog()
to display it when I press a button. This worked fine, I set form2's border to none and fullscreened it, tested again, no probs. My problem arose when I tried to add a WMP ActiveX control. I ran the program, pressed the button, and... form2 (along with WMP) appeared on my laptop display. I desperately need this by tomorrow. If no solution is available, is there an alternative to WMP?

Using MDI in .net, how do you reference a control on a parent form from a child? Like, if on the parent I have a textbox called txtBox1, what could I do from the child form to read the contents? I've been googling unsuccessfully all day. The closest I've found is
Parent!ControlName.Property
I don't know what the ! is supposed to mean, but I get an error here: Class 'System.Windows.Forms.Control' cannot be indexed because it has no default property.

We have a main form which opens an MDI child form. What we want is to set the focus on a particular control in the child form, namely a telerik textbox. When the form is opened for the first time, the focus is set to the textbox control which has a tabIndex = 1 as expected. If the winodw is closed (and disposed) and then reopened via a button on the tool bar that calls the same code that opens the window when the application starts, no control has focus. We have added lines such as Me.rtxtPatientId.Focus() in the Paint event, load event, and activated event handlers but still cannot get the focus to the control. The code is quite extensive so posting it is difficult. However, here is the section that opens the child window:
if PatientSearchForm Is Nothing Then
PatientSearchForm = New frmPatientLookup
End If
PatientSearchForm.MdiParent = Me
PatientSearchForm.Show()
If PatientSearchForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then
PatientSearchForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
End If
PatientSearchForm.Activate()
PatientSearchForm.rtxtPatientID.Focus()

I am creating a user control where when a user clicks a button a popup window will show up with information. The popup window is driven by a toolStripDropDown so when it shows up it does 2 things
Does not move the other controls on the form around but displays over them That it can show the details outside the bounds of the user control itself without having to reserve the space ahead of time
Here is some code
Public Class Popup
Private treeViewHost As ToolStripControlHost
Private Shadows dropDown As ToolStripDropDown
[Code].....
Now my issue is as the form moves or resizes the Tooldropdown does not move relative. I understand that. When I try to capture the move event of the user control that event does not fire when the entire form moves. There has to be something I can capture because the controls in the container of the form move relative, what drives that? I tried wndproc but nothing fires during form move unless the form is repainted.

I've created a form that has a timer control. When this form loads it counts down before running a procedure. Simple.
Now I want to subclass this form in a new VB.NET project to so that another form inherits this form (an it's timer functionality) and runs a different procedure on this new form.My problem is that when I create the form in my new project the timer from the parent form seems to be running and when it's time is up it runs and code and crashes the VS environment.
I've searched high and low but have only found references to making sure the timer is disabled at design time. I've done this on the parent form but in this parent form's Load event the timer is enabled.... the purpose of the form. So when the child form loads it is enabling the timer. How can I work around this? Can I enable the timer from the child form? Timer is not visible when the child form loads so how do I manipulate it?

I want to include the clipboard from the menu strip of my MDI form, ie Cntrl/C and Cntrl/V. I need a more generic clipboard facility than the examples provided. I want to be able to copy from external programs, like Word, or controls within my program to either a Textbox, RichTextBox or whatever, of which there may be several, on a child form. In VB6 this was so simple, but I'm afraid it is proving frustrating, to say the least, in Visual Studio 2008. I have succeeded in getting data onto the clipboard from an external program, but my problem comes when trying to determine the active control on the child form to where I want to paste the data, so I know how to handle it.

I have a MDI form that has a child form that is opened by default when the application loads. I also automatically maximize the child form. Even though I have set ShowIcon to false, the little blank image that indicates that there is no icon appears in the upper left hand corner of the form. Is there a way to get rid of this?
Private WithEvents m_frmLineItems As frmLineItems
m_frmLineItems = New frmLineItems(Me)

I am trying to find the handle of the child window for the Yes button in the User Account Control window so i can click it. This window has a structure with a few child windows with the same name.
Dim hwnd As IntPtr = FindWindow(Nothing, "User Account Control")
Dim hwnd2 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd, 0, "DirectUIHWND", vbNullString)
Dim hwnd3 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd2, 0, "CtrlNotifySink", vbNullString)
Dim hwnd4 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd3, 0, "Button", "&Yes")
There are multiple CtrNotifySink with its own Button child window or other child windows. How do i search thru the different CtrNotifySink window to find the one that contain the Yes button so i can send a click to it? I do need to find it before i can send a click, right? because i try just sending it to the main window with sendmessage and nothing happen.I even try sending it directly to the handle found by spy++ of the yes button with bm click but nothing happen?
