I have a MDI container form with menustrip, toolstrip and statusstrip on it. The backcolor of these items is black. The toolstrip and statusstrip show ugly white borders around them which I want to get rid of but there seems to be no such property like bordercolor or anything where I could change them.
View 1 RepliesThe First Question is not that important but you know that when you click on 'Favorites' in IE 8 a form thing comes up? Well I've been trying to do that for a long time but I can't figure out how. 2: In IE8 when you expand the window and collapse the window, the toolbars expand and collapse as well. How do I make my tool bars in my Web Browser do that. 3: I actually have a third question and that's, How do you make a horizantal scroll bar on your web browser control. (just like in Internet Explorer.)

View 1 RepliesI have a lot of forms that get placed in specific locations at run time. I need to disable relocating these forms, but I would like to keep the borders and titlebar.
I have tried jmc's codebank submission called "immobilise" but did not work for me, forms were still draggable (could be my mis_use, but no errors were thrown)If this isn't doable, is there a way to hide only the titlebar, but maintain the 3D blue borders all around?

View 5 RepliesI'm modifying an existing form in Visual Basic 2010 Express and attempting to work out some small kinks I've noticed. The one that I'm having an issue with is getting the form to completely fill the screen without the border going off screen. When I set the form's Size values at W:1024,H:768 the page always opens a little off. I tried setting the size a little smaller, W:1020,H:764, and it still does not perfectly fill the screen. Does the Size value include the border pixels or are the border pixels added to the form's Size value? Is there another value somewhere that could be affecting this?

View 1 RepliesI've got a form with no borders, and I am wondering how a user would be able to move this form around. I would like it to be moved the same way a form would move by left-clicking and holding the top border. I know that's a little vague, so if you need any more info feel free to ask...
View 1 RepliesI have a windows application that I have created using Visual Basic 2005. I am a new user and have learned a few things, but quite an amateur! I need to printout a windows form but I do not want the form to have menu bars or borders printed. The windows form contains the data that I have updated using a Sequel Server 2005 DataBase. The form needs to be printed by clicking a Print Form Button on the form.Is this possible with VB 2005. i noticed a PowerPacks out there, but when I downloaded the tab does not appear on the VB 2005 Express Edition I am using.
View 1 RepliesI have been trying to discover how to make the contents of a form expand or retract in response to moving its borders by grabbing them with the mouse, or by use of the 'Maximise' or 'Restore Down' controls.The explanation in �Help� concerning TableLayoutPanel, Panel, Anchor and Auto size doesn�t help much, especially as it I can�t get it to work.
View 7 RepliesI have an application with three toolstrips in it, two in one line and the third one on the second line. One with the common items (copy, cut etc) and two more for graphics manipulation and internet. The problem is that no matter how I "localize" their position, sooner or later they became desorganized and lose their intended location. I have localize them with the left and top property as well as using New Point(x,y). I have also experimented with different choices for the Anchor property as well as setting the values for the location property in the designer. I even put the localization code in a menu item to see if I can locate them properly after the Form Load sub is finished. Locking them in place doesn't work either. Nothing works!
Basically I need the Common toolstrip to be the first one with Left = 3 and Top = 0. Graphics1 right after the Common toolstrip and with Top = 0 and Internet1 right bellow the Common toolstrip with Left = 0 and the Top right bellow the Common toolstrip (Top = 25). It seems as if the Common toolstrip gets to the proper position and right away jumps behind the Graphics1 on the first line. The Internet1 is Ok for now (it has messed up before)?
Title says it all. I want the ToolStrips to remain on one row, and for the user to be able to rearrange on that row but not create additional rows. I tried using SetBounds on the LocationChanged event, if the user attempted to change the Y position it just sprung right back. However, this created some visual bugs, such as the mouse always jumping back to the location and the ToolStrips jumping around randomly (while dragging one, the other would hop around randomly on the bar...)
I also tried setting the MaximumSize of the toolstripcontainer panel, but it allowed the creation of a new row anyway (in which the toolstrips were hidden.) EDIT: Its been a few months, still no answers...is this even possible?
Been doing web development for the past 2 years - so I'm a little rusty (and I just switched to VS 2010 from 2008 so maybe something new is available)... I have 4 toolstrips floated to the top of a form. And I have a picturebox below - filling the whole form. Unfortunately the picturebox is "behind" the toolstrips. I want to split the form so that the top of the form holds the 4 toolstrips and the picturebox appears below them.
What would be the proper container to put this mess into so that autosizing is the easiest? The toolstrips will most likely be "turned off and on" during the running of the app.
I have a parent MDI form and several MDI children. All have menustrips and toolstrips. The merging of the menustrips was no problem at all but I'm trying to do the same thing for the toolstrips, but now it's a no go. The toolstrips are staying separated. Is it possible to merge toolstrips?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to extend the functionality of the ToolStripPanel control (which is a panel hosting ToolStrips that can be moved during design-time, as I'm sure you know).One thing I wanted to add was a 'ToolStrips' property, which would be a collection of ToolStrips the user can edit via the collection editor in the designer. So instead of manually placing ToolStrips on the ToolStripPanel via the toolbox, the user can just use the property to add/remove (or even edit) them. This is of course similar to how you add/remove/edit TabPages in a TabControl.So, I came up with this code, which I have used successfully in the past for other controls:
Public Class cToolStripPanel
Inherits ToolStripPanel
Private _ToolStrips As New ToolStripCollection(Me)[CODE]....
The cToolStripPanel control inherits the ToolStripPanel control and adds the ToolStrips property, which is of type ToolStripCollection. That class, in turn, inherits the Collection(Of ToolStrip). In the InsertItem method, I add the 'item' ToolStrip to the cToolStripPanel. Of course I also need to override the RemoveItem / ClearItems methods but that's for another time.I am 100% sure that this code should works, at least for other controls. If you replace ToolStrip with Button (for example), I can add buttons via the property during design-time just fine, exactly the way I want it.But it seems that ToolStrips are special. When I try to Add a toolstrip (via the collection editor Add button), a null reference exception occurs. I've been trying to debug this all day and I've finally come up with a possible candidate for the problem... (I've actually used design-time debugging for the first time ever, which was pretty cool, and which showed me that the InsertItem method is not run!)
I think the problem is that the collection editor cannot create a new instance of the ToolStrip class. I can remember when trying to inherit from the ToolStrip, I was forced to add a constructor, because the ToolStrip "has more than one constructor that can be called with no arguments".Perhaps this is causing my problem? Do I (and if yes, how?) have to somehow control the creation of a new instance of the ToolStrip? Or am I completely off track and that is not what is causing the problem? I'm sure that it's a problem with the ToolStrip class, since I can use the exact same method with other controls just fine. It's only when I change the type to ToolStrip that it starts getting angry at me....
