View 4 RepliesI am working on a library of controls that clone Office 2010's Ribbon interface and theme. One of the controls will inherit the form control and will modify the ribbon to implement Aero Glass. This is what I have so far... In order to get the same look and feel, I've extended the aero glass margins exactly far enough to get this effect for the top 50 or so pixels. The ControlBox property is set to false, so that there's not an extra 30 pixels at the top that I don't do anything with, but now I need to get the

My VB.NET app supports several kinds of MDI child forms. Some kinds, but not others, are 'troublesome' -- they cause the focus mechanism to become weird. Once a 'troublesome' child form has been opened, NONE of the MDI child forms will become activated unless I click on either the title bar or the border. Clicking in the client area does not activate the child form -- its title bar remains gray, and it does not receive Activate or GotFocus events. Strangely, however, the clicked-on form actually DOES receive the focus, because its controls receive mouse and key events. Only the Z-Order and the highlighting do not change.
Once this problem develops, it persists even after the 'troublesome' form is closed, and it affects child forms which are opened afterward. However, if ALL of the child forms are closed, the problem clears up, and new child forms behave normally -- until the next 'troublesome' form appears.
I have no idea why one kind of child form is troublesome, and others are not.

View 4 RepliesI have a picture box on a form that changes size as needed. Both by resizing the form and by code.How can I resize the form automatically if I resize the picturebox in code. The client area of the picture box should not be clipped.Right now the picture box is set to dock fill, but if the code resizes it, the form does not follow it. Is there a binding somewhere I can use?

What is the correct way to find the client area of the webbrowser control, WITHOUT the scroll bars ?
Any area/rectangle I get from the control seems to give me the entire control size, including scroll bars wether they are there or not.
I have tried detecting whether scroll bars are present and finding how wide they are to subtract from the entire control width, but have found no reliable way to acheive this.
I am trying to find the actual size of the window I can see if when the web browser control is showing the web page, not including the scroll bars.
Trying to set the viewable area to a smaller screen area and have it cycle through as the person moves using collision detection to move the backgroudn image. Here is the start but its off to a bad start so far.
Public Class Form1
Dim Mapx As Integer = 600
Dim Mapy As Integer = 2000
[code]....
Basically the forum size is set to 600x2000 but the client should only allow you to view 600x600. I want it to add +1 once you "collide with a invisable box I'll add and this will redraw the screen.
I designed a form and managed to fit graphics inside it. Picture box is 465 pixels high. Form1 is 500 pixels high. SnapShot of the screen verifies that the 500 pixel height is the overal height. It includes the upper Bar and lower frame. Is there an instruction to set the From's inner pixel size and not overal?

Since you are repeating same operation three times it is best to make a function for it.
CODE:
labels 1-6 are randomly generated numbers, text boxes 1-3 are the input boxes and the code above shows how if the answer in the textbox equals the labels added together, you win. This code works -
I have created labels 7-12 now, and textboxes 4-6. How can I extend this program so it has subtraction as well?
If this problem definition isn't detailed enough, let me know and I'll add more detail to this description.
is there any way to extend upon a procedure itself?like i want to be able to do the following
Code:
public sub test()
msgbox(special())
end sub and it should popup a string, let's say "cool", plus i shld be able to use special() in every single sub but if we call special() from a function it should be rejected. how can that be done?
also, we should also be able to do the following
Code:
public sub test()
msgbox(specialvariable)
end sub whereby specialvariable is accessible by every sub.
is there anyway to extend upon an existing Interface? i'm just wondering.

View 4 RepliesI reference several 3rd party libraries in my application. I want to put all of these libraries in a folder that is different than where the executable file for my application is located. I would also like to put all of the libraries that are required by the 3rd party libraries (but not referenced by my application) in this same folder.
I need to be able to put the application (and the referenced libraries) on a thumb drive and run the application from any computer without any installation or registering of components. This condition is satisfied if I put all of the required libraries in the same folder as the executable.
For example, if my application is located at E:MyApp then I would like to store all of the 3rd party libraries in the folder E:MyAppDlls. Any way to store all (or at least some) of the libraries in a separate folder?

View 2 RepliesI need to extend the functionality of the ToolTip control...Problem: I need to show some introductionary instructions to my users the first time they see a new form based feature in my app. Something along the lines of: '...Welcome to the blah, blah, blah feature. To do this, click that, mouse here, press that so on and so forth...'
Then I want a 'Don't show this again' check box somewhere near the bottom so the 'welcome screen' can be supressed. Currently I'm thinking of loading an app wide form (Public Dim frmMyToolTip as frmToolTip) and using it's .TopMost property to ensure that when I show it, it appears over my modal form (I can Hide/Show at will.) Also without a caption or border, my users can't move it.
As it will be displayed on top of a Modal form, I need a Background worker component to run a timer which will hide the form after a set period. I can store the state of the CheckBox to stop the form from showing next time if user does not require it.
Is it possible to extend the MyApplication object - either through inheritance or by using a partial class - so as to add custom properties?
