How can I create picture boxes using code? The application that I am making, the amount of picture boxes needed for a certain thing is not known, and is always changing (and im planing to put them into a picture box array). Also, how can I set the new picture box (assuming that its possible with code) to have the same properties/size etc as another picturebox? Is it possible for me to set a "mold" or something?
View 4 RepliesIf I have a large number of classes, each similar to the other in certain aspects (they all share a common base class, but each does things differently), and I need to create Windows forms for each to allow easy changing of their values through a GUI? Create one matching form for each object in VS' forms designer, Or Use code to create the forms dynamically at runtime.
#2 makes the most sense to me, because a lot of these objects will share very common features of the form, notably "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons. But one object might need to draw a textbox on the form while another might need to draw a combobox. Not to mention, if I want to put icons on the "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons, I'd have to do this for each copy of the form in designer, and that sounds like it could get out of hand quickly.But is drawing forms through code sane? VS' forms designer is pretty sophisticated and designed to make life easier. Am I wise to consider ignoring its functionality and diving into the trench warfare of forms design through code? Or are there examples of automating form creation based on an existing object's properties?
i have 3 PicBoxes on a form. PicBox1=sprite PicBox2=Block1 PicBox3=Block2 I have figured out sprite movement on key down and have figured out simple collision detection for all 4 sides of Block1. My question(s) are:
is there an ideal way to create a method that can be called to handle the collision for all future PicBox's added instead of writting code independently for each key press and each NewBlock along with all 4 sides of the NewBlocks?If I created 100 PicBoxes as obsticles too create a maze type game for my Sprite to navigate through?

To me the answer to this question will be stupidly simple, but I cannot find it. I want to generate child forms to do simple tasks from my main form. I want to be able to create and destroy these child forms as I use the main form. I decided to create a class of the child form, with its own constructors and destructor. When I tried to do this using the Class Library Module, I could not access the Windows.Forms class to create a form.

View 8 RepliesI've designed my own encryption application in VB 2008 that has a free tools section where users can choose a particular wizard to use from the drop down. The javascript wizards display the code required to put in their own sites. I already created wizards that users can well, use.I see people have their own "contact form wizards" on their websites all the time. Where users can use the wizard and get the displayed code to copy and paste on their sites. But trying to locate source codes to these things is very aggravating on the web.So what I want to do is create my own "form wizard" like out of javascript, that allows the user to put in some information then get the displayed code to put in their own websites. I'm not looking for the generator such as the online form generators.But the javascript source code(s) for the generator itself.Then I could simply put a form generator inside of my VB-app, that will allow the user to use the wizard, then get the html code to paste in their own sites. Preferably not the PHP one because the php backend is very difficult to put in a VB app.I know that it can be done. For example copying a web pages source code then putting it inside a string, then calling that string from a button click that will open the javascript page in the webbrowser inside the VB app.

View 6 RepliesNew to vb.net coming from vba. I am working on a mass balance model which collects a handful of 'user' data (less than 10 records) and then applies various equations to the data and records/reports the resulting values. I think I have a pretty good handle on the basic operators for a single 'user', having pretty extensive vba knowledge. However, I am having difficulty saving the new 'user' data and creating new 'users'. I need to keep the app as simple as possible for deployment to machines with nothing more than 2.0 and I do not really need a database, just a simple method of creating multiple 'users' as objects.

I was using messagebox's but for some reason if the app hidden the messagebox's dont come up and goto the forefront. So in reading about this I read I should just use a form to do it.. so I did.. works fine.. well works fine for one error.. but if the user tries to do 3 of the same operation.. and lets say first errors.. second works and third fails.. using one error form wont work.. since I diaplay the error one.. then need to display error 2.. I need 2 error forms so they can click OK on both.[code]...

My aim is to have a textbox in which a page of information is already written for the user to read. This box will have a vertical scrollbar, so I can't simply superimpose a button over the textbox.
