View 3 RepliesI have several buttons, all of which use flat appearance. I made them look just how I liked,but once you focus one, the 2px border (from 1px) ruins everything.
View 4 RepliesI noticed that when some of my buttons are clicked, this ugly black rectangle appears in it, around the central text. It only happens to the buttons with a "Flat" style applied to them.
View 1 RepliesI am setting my Winforms Button control properties to appear as a hyperlink would on a web page. I've formatted everything fine, except the border in the FlatAppearance object. I have code to act as pseudo-CSS (FormBackColor is a string constant.):
b.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat
b.BackColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml(FormBackColor)
b.ForeColor = Color.Blue
[code]....
The code removes the border from the flat Button control except on MouseOver, where I add a 1 pixel border. On MouseLeave, I remove the border. This is to show some visual feedback. This works fine when the button does not have the focus. However, if I click on the button, giving the button focus, mousing out and over again now shows a greater than 1 pixel border around the button. I'm imagining it's combining my button's explicit 1 pixel border with the traditional "Winform Button has the focus, so add a border" border around the Button.How can I disable/remove the "Winform Button has the focus, so add a border" border? Or, should I just do a check in ButtonMouseOver to check if the control has the focus, being a condition of adding the border, and just be done with it?
I am using the ListView, and I have a few questions regarding it...
- How do you remove the dotted border around the selected item?

On Form Load:
ToolStripMenu.Renderer = New CustomRenderer
Another Class:
Public Class CustomRenderer
Inherits ToolStripSystemRenderer
Protected Overrides Sub OnRenderToolStripBorder(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripRenderEventArgs)
End Sub
End Class
Obviously nothing is changed:
Changes that has to be made:
1. Remove the border at the bottom
2. Change the style From this:

View 4 RepliesI am working in windows forms with Vb.NET 2008. I am trying to read text in from an external program. So far I have been able to read text in from a standard text box or button, however I am trying to read data in from an external data grid.
When I try to use the following I get no information about the grid
ChildHandle = FindWindowEx(ParentHandle, IntPtr.Zero, "classnameofexternaldatagrid", Nothing)
Dim Hndl As IntPtr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(2000)
NumText = SendMessage(ChildHandle, WM_GETTEXT, 2000, Hndl)
Text = Marshal.PtrToStringUni(Hndl)
Usually if it is a standard text box I will get the text data with no problem, but it is a standard data grid and there are no further sub handles to try and read from. If WM_GETTEXT wont read information from an external data grid then how would I read in the data?
I have a quick, yet simple (i think?) question. How can i use the address bar to send commands to a external application?
Example:
AOL Instant Messenger I havent used this application in a long time. But i remembered if you wanted to add a friend to AIM from their online profile it directed them to a link such as:
aim:addfriend=contactID and AIM would pick this up and add it the contactID to the application. The link i posted is more than likely not the correct link they use but it shows what im trying to accomplish.
Im looking to achieve something along the lines of: myApplication:command=commandValue
