Forms :: Programmatically Setting Controls Visibility?
Nov 9, 2009
I have a panel with 5 labels and 5 listviews in it. By default they are hidden. At runtime I want only the ones shown that are needed. For example, if there are enough players for three tables then three tables should show up. I know how to make the controls visible, but not sure how to control how many are actually displayed. I also think I may have to do seperate loops and seperate the control types?
Private Sub Set_Tables()
Dim tables As Long
tables = Math.Ceiling(NumPlayers / NumPerTable)
I have programmatically created a new project from a windows application. I now want to programmatically add a form to this project that already has some data bound controls on it.
I have a GridView with a load of data in, there is an ID associated to the data that I would not like to be visible to the users. All worked fine when all the cells were visible, but as soon as I change the ID DataBound column to false, when I try to access the item in code I get "" instead of it's actual value (that worked perfectly when it was visible).
Is there a reason for this? If not, how should I be approaching this?
I have set the Visibility property of the main window to Hidden and added the following in Window_Loaded: private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e){ this.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible; } But it doesn't show up the Window.
I need to work with custom controls, I want to be able to set the properties of my controls so when I put them on my windows forms they will show up in the properties window thing.
Currently my program randomly removes words from a set of text and inserts textboxes below the text. The user can then enter his/her answers in the new textboxes. What I would like to do is set the program so the user can have two choices one being Easy and other being Advanced. Then when the user hits either button it brings up everything that is currently on the form. I'd prefer to do this without having to use MDI forms. I've had a hard time using the MDI forms and therefore would like to avoid using them. They way I was thinking this could work is all objects would remain invisible except for the 2 buttons and then when you hit one of them they disappear and everything else appears.
I seem to be having a problem binding the visibility property of a textbox to a database value using the advanced binding property.
I found this article (BUG: Inconsistent behavior when you bind the Visible property of a Windows Form control to a Boolean field) stating there is a bug in some older versions of the .net framework.
I have aspx form with several textboxes.They are populated with values from a table via retrieval of a dataview.If the row count for the dataview is 0, then I'd like to reset the values in all textboxes. How can I loop through all the textboxes and set a default value?I've tried the following, but no sucess.
For Each ctrl As Control In Page.Form.Controls If TypeOf ctrl Is WebControls.TextBox Then CType(ctrl, WebControls.TextBox).Text = "" End If Next
My first For Loop was using Page.Controls but it returned only 1 count.The textboxes are inside a tabpanel (ajax), so do I have to locate the tabpage and then find all it's controls (for each tabpage)?
I'm trying to set up an installer to register a web site. Currently, I've got it creating an Application Pool and Web Site under Windows Server 2003. Unfortunately, whenever I try to modify the ServerBindings property to set the IP Address, it throws an exception at me. I first tried this because the documentation here told me to [URL]. I'm currently using VB.NET, but C# answers are okay too as I need to switch it over to using C# anyway.
I am working on my media program which utilizes the amazon ecs web service. So far it does a search and pulls a list of image url's for the dvd covers.
Is what I want to do is take those image urls and somehow feed them into a datagridview, so that the user can scroll through the images and choose the right one.
Here's what I have so far
Code: If item.IsSetLargeImage() Then Dim largeImage As Image = item.LargeImage If largeImage.IsSetURL() Then
I am programatically creating instance of usercontrol as shown below

I have two public properties in my usercontorl like clerkName and RespName. How can I set those values in the above code. Intellisense is not showing ClerkName and respName Properties.
How I can set a Textbox or the report header title programmatically at runtime? Like as in a form - Me.text = "Sales Report" Depending on how I query the report I'd like to give the report a descriptive report name.
I have created custom paper Size "XPaperSize 15 x 12" in Printers - File - Sever Properties. In VB .net 2005 I am trying to set custom Paper Size for Crystal Report. My problem is when I run report from Vb .net, Crystal report viewer showing correct preview for custom paper size but when I give print command it's print default printer paper size e.g. Letter size.
Here's the code I'm using to print: Dim ObjCrReport as new ReportDocument ObjCrReport.SetDataSource(ObjPrintDataSet.Tables("PrintData")) SetReportPageSize("XPaperSize 15 x 12", 1) ' call Procedure for setting Custom Paper Size End Sub [Code] .....
If I used "myAppPrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperLegal" then print preview & Printing coming correct. Why it's printing Letter Size where Crystal preview showing custom paper size preview? & How to set Crystal Report Printer Paper Size?
I want to programmatically set the focus to the last row (bottommost, its only one column wide) in the DataGridView control for Visual Basic. How can I do so?
So far, I have tried DGV.Rows.GetLastRow(DataGridViewElementStates.Selected)
without success, though I did not expect that to work. It absolutely must select that last cell. Otherwise, the application is nearly impossible to use!
Here is a screenshot of what I am making with this: [URL]..The "Paste Clipboard Contents" button only pastes into the selected cell, though I guess I could find a workaround.
I have included a Date and Time Picker Control in oen of my MS Access Forms and want to set its value on the form open event. However, when I try to set the Value property I get the following error message :
1. I have a DataGridView box, that is connected to a MySQL database via the 'Data Source'. I am trying to do the datagridview1.rows.add("info here"), however i receive an error i cannot do this programmatically. I DO know the code to post to MySQL via the "insert into" la la la.However, I was curious if I can do this via the datagridview a bit..easier/simpler, such as a "datagridview1.rows.add(stuff)" sorta thing.
2. I am attempting to make a custom control, and as with ANY control, they have their.. settings. Example, a textbox, or label, has so you can set the Text. and color, etc.Others, have it (such as datagridview) have the little icon on the control itself, where you click it, and it opens a small window with settings.
I'm using the attached code to add another line ow of controls beneath an existing set (when a label is clicked). There could be quite a few rows added so I'm having to repeat the code many times using the counter (i) to keep track...
Is there a better method for doing this?
Private Sub Label10_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LblExpandSearch.Click If i = 0 Then
I'm trying to add a group of four radio buttons to a form. There are other radio buttons so I'm grouping them by placing them on a Panel. However using the below I just get the panel added to the form without the radio buttons... Am I doing something wrong here?
Dim arrRButton(3) As RadioButton arrRButton(0) = New RadioButton arrRButton(1) = New RadioButton
How in the heck do you programmically add/Remove new controls to the form?
I'm wanting to create a form with several fields thing is, I don't know how many fields a client will need, So i want to be able to add new fields to the form with a button click and reset the form back to normal when they submit that information.
I have a panel that is a set size and has its Autoscroll property set to True.I am parsing text files and then adding them to the panel. I'm extracting specific lines and then adding them to labels and text boxes that are in the panel.When my app runs, it can parse anywhere from 0-10 files at a time.If there are no files to parse, I don't want any controls in the panel. I'll be creating the controls based on how many text files I have. For each text file, I'll have 3 controls.
I'll count the text files before I parse them, and insert the controls into the panel.The problem is that I don't know how to place the controls based on the location of the panel/form. I know the panel will always have a permanent spot, but I won't know if the location parameters of the panel have changed because I won't know how many controls there will be before the app parses the files.
However, I will know the size of the controls that I'm inserting.So, with all of that, is there a way to insert the controls inside of the panel, and then based on that information, insert the others?
How may one get information that was used to programatically generate asp controls?For example, I pulled a DataTable of user objects from the database and have organized them on a page, listing groupings such as a list of employees directly under the employer for each employer. On the page, I list each user's Username as a LinkButton. When I click one of these employees, I want to redirect the page (which is easy) and set a session variable to the selected user's UserId (which seems not so easy). How can I pull this UserId value back? These elements are not hard-coded with nice names (as they are generated in a for each loop).
Code from comment below:
Dim lnkbtnPm As New LinkButton ' is my link button. ' lnkbtnPm.Text = pmDr.Item("Username") ' where pmDr is my datarow. ' lnkbtnPm.CommandArgument = pmDr.Item("UserId")
Now everybody knows that creating GUIs that have lots of repeated elements that are evenly spaced by hand is for chumps; all the cool kids use loops and add them at runtime. Given that being one of the cool kids is one of my top priorities I decided to give this a go - as my current project involves creating a grid of check boxes and then chunking them together under one event handler. In my experience - an nice effective way of dealing with grid like structures (2D arrays if you will) is to use nested loops such as:
For intY = 0 To 9 For intX = 0 To 9 Dim chk As New CheckBox
I have a query about dynamically added controls to a form. I have a series of buttons which are created and added at run time. I have a two drop down lists and two buttons which are created at design time. Button 1 creates a series of buttons called "Test 1.x" based upon the selection of the two drop down lists. This works fine and am happy with the logic.However.... Button two should remove all the dynamically created buttons from the form.This does not happen. What does happen is that 50% of the buttons are removed starting with the first one. WHen checking the loop it only enters the loop half the amount of times that there are buttons. Very strange. When the loop is run repeatability it will remove all controls. Why will my logic not remove all the dynamically created controls at once? What is wrong with my logic?
I attach two code snippets and the .net file for your consideration.Button method which creates the dynamically created buttons from the two drop down lists and adds to form
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim Count As Integer Dim MaxHours As Integer
So, I'm adding a label programatically and I'm in need of altering the top margin a little bit to the value 8. I can't do that the obvious way, so what's wrong with my thinking?
Dim LabelAdapter As New Label LabelAdapter.text = "Adapter" LabelAdapter.Margin.Top = 8
This gives me the error "Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment".
