DrawFrameControl And XP Styles?
Feb 26, 2010
i've been developing a usercontrol that uses a listbox with ownerdraw on. I need each element of the listbox to be expandable and thus - I need to draw an expand/collapse button ( [+]/[-] ) on each element. I've been using the Win32 DrawFrameControl function but it doesn't support XP styles apparently. So, the question is:Is there a way to make the DrawFrameControl API function draw elements using XP visual styles or should I use different API function? Is there some native .NET Framework functionality for something like this?

I need to start Windows Forms Application with a startup object that it is not a form (is a Start Sub, so i can instantiate several components, prepare all structures without any form loaded, etc). Problem is since i had unchecked "Enable Application framework" i had XP visual styles disabled also; and all graphical elements look a lot like a vb4 app running in windows 98. Any suggestion how to enable XP visual styles in this scenario?

i have just switched to VS 2008 from 2005. On every web page I create, CSS styles are being automatically generated and added to every control on the page ... this is driving me crazy. Is my setup wrong? And, more importantly, how do I stop this very annoying event?

So, to set the body style for a webpage, I can just sayWebBrowser1.Document.Body.Style = stylexBut let's say I set "stylex" equal to "background-color:red;". That will set the background color red but ONLY to websites that do not have a background color already set.ike Google's isn't set so it'd work, but other websites it is set and it won't let me change the background color. So how could I override their style with mine?

I have an element that I'm trying to style:
<tr runat="server" id="row" >
...
</tr>
And I set the style programmatically:
row.Attributes("style") = "background: #cccccc;"
I get this output:
<tr id="SearchResults_myRepeaterPlain_ctl04_row" style="background: rgb(204, 204, 204) none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">
Where is all that additional style information coming from, and How can I stop it?

How do I combine fontstyle.bold with fontstyle.Italic? I tried simply adding them together but no go.
Dim MyFont as New Font ("courier new",12,FontStyle.Bold + FontStyle.Italic)
Evidently font styles are not constants.

I 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.

Window based application:I am populating gridview in a child form on load event as well as formatting gridview cell colors.Data is picked-up from parent form grid(Grid to datatable) by setting up global public datatable variable in child form.
Gridview formatting works fine for the first run.All the future runs the gridview formatting function in the child form is executed but the color changes are not reflected on the grid.

How do I apply 2 font styles to the text selected in a richtextbox? Used this method to change fontstyle:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold)
But with this method I can only apply 1 font-style (for example bold OR italic OR underlined, etc.) right? But I want to apply for example 2 front-styles, or just add the font style ( so I can add several front-styles to the selected text, for example the text is bold, and then ALSO make it underlined (with this method I can only change the font-style, only one font-style)), how do I do this?
Just do so:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold + FontStyle.Italic)

I'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.

When 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?

Is it possible to make a program that serves web pages, along with all of their embedded links and external CSS stylesheets or scripts? It would have to serve it across:
a) a USB cable, attached to the serving and client computer
b) a network, directly to other computers.
I would really like it if option A were possible. B is what everything else uses, and I won't try that. I don't have a network.

I'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.
[Code]...
