I'm trying to make my form nearly transparent when the mouse is not inside the form by changing the opacity.I'm having trouble because if the mouse is moved quickly, I can't get its position accurately. when the mouse is moved into a control, it's considered to have left the form. Is there an easy way to do this that I might be missing?

View 6 RepliesI'm working on a scoreboard, and I'm want to add a goal horn. The way it works is when a button is being held down, the horn wav file is going, and it stops when the button is released. I can make a good loop file, but what I'm having trouble with is getting a fade in and fade out effect to make it realistic. I don't want to use the master volume controlbecause there could be other sounds playing at the same time. How would I do this?
View 3 RepliesI have another question (and anticipate that I will have about two more before I'm done with my class project). Here is my issue (and I'll copy and paste my code for clarification). I need to link up the control from the form on either side of the current form that I'm working on so that if I click on the buttons that I'm titling previous and next that I can click on the proper button and either go directly to the previous form or the next form. I was successful in doing this for two earlier forms on this project (with some direction from a couple of helpful people on this forum before), but for some reason, no matter what I details I use the controls do not connect to the previous and next forms.
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Option Infer Off

I need to disable every control on my Form so that the user can not click or press any key that will change values of listboxes and other controls on the form. I need to be able to lock the whole Form like this because as part of the project I have to print the form 3times with 3 different colors and the only way I've been able to get it to work is with a timer. So for about 3 seconds the form is changing colors and printing itself, so in between that time the user could accidantely click something and change a value on the form when all three prints should be of the same form, only difference is in the color.I can't use disable as that will make all the controls look faded and messed up, I need a clean way to prevent anything from being changed.

I have a user who wants to print the form that is on the screen(the entire form not just the data) on the click of a button, is there a quick and easy way to capture it and print it. Kind of like a screen shot? I suggested that they could just do alt/printscreen and capture the form that way and print it but they want it all to be done from a print button for them.
View 14 RepliesI have a program and wish to generalise its appearance at startup on different machines. This worked OK until I moved it onto a Windows 7 unit with a 22" screen. The front page covers less than 2/3 of the screen. I know I've asked the system for 'working area' but could not find a reference to the entire screen which other applications seem able to use. How can I catch up with them? The code is from VB in VS2005. Is this my limitation?

View 5 RepliesI'm working with WPF 4 and VB.net 2010. My project consists of full-screen windows with a 640x480 grid in the center.
In this project, I want to have various image boxes (which will have the item .png images in them), that the user can drag around and drop in various places on the grid.
In essence, I need to be able to make it possible for the item to be clicked and dragged around the grid, with the image box still visible and the same size as the user moves it around. It should never be able to leave the grid. I also need to be able to determine if the object is over another object, so when the mouse button is released, the dragged object is "dropped", and it triggers a particular block of code.
I have a VERY FAST comp/connection. I am looking for better code that runs smoothly. I'd also like if it fails to load something like error.jpg or something, not just staying blank. I don't know where to throw this in the code. I have only loaded 1 PictureBox on the interface, but in the end, I want to load 6-10 on one form at one time.

I am using Visual Studio 2010..I have multiple forms and when I hit close button(red X, top-right) from any form, i want the project to close entirely.Now when I do this, this does not happen by default. I always have to click on the 'stop' button in VS for it to close.
View 6 Replieshow I would be able to print the entire portion of the screen which the form occupies,Basically, my problem lies in that the way I print now will properly print the form's buttons/labels/textboxes etc. But it will not print the WebComponent AxChartspace that I have added to it. So basically my form is partially blank.

I have a button that when the user clicks slides a GroupBox out. I intend to start with the groupbox hidden and with a width of one and when the button is clicked to make the GroupBox visible and increase the width with a for.. to.. next counter.
However when I run the code all that happens when the button is clicked is after a short time the groupbox appears full size. So the program doesn't "refresh" the view of the GroupBox while the for..next statement is looping.
How can I make the GroupBox expand smoothly and visibly?
