I am using a monthcalendar control and datetimepicker control in my vb.net 2005 windows applicaion. My operating system is Vista Home Premium. Now my problem is that when I run my application on XP then the view of monthcalendar control changes. I just want that the view of mc control remain same in xp also bcoz the look of mc control in vista is quite cool.
View 1 RepliesI am using a monthcalendar control in my application to allow a user to select a day from the calendar that will load data for that day. the background is totally white (ugh). there is a backcolor property, but when i set it to say Cyan (yea right), the calendar still displays as white. I also can not set Forecolor, TitleBack/Fore color either.
I have gone to my project properties and turned off the "enable xp visual styles", and that had no effect. turned it back on...cant tell a difference. i am currently on windows 7 running VS2008 Team Edition. It would be really nice to change the look of this control to match the styling of my application.
i have a monthcalendar control on a form, and about every minute or so, the click event fires. this is wierd, since i look at the call stack and nothing called it.

View 2 RepliesI am been working on an a small app that has a Forms.Webbrowser control that navigates to a Adobe Flash program. I have developed the app on Vista 32bit platform and have had no problems. I have sent the app to a couple of people to test out and one is using Vista 64bit and is running into a problem. I know the webbrowser control just uses the underlying base framework of IE. The problem on the 64 bit machine is when the site is navigated to it says that it needs to have Flash installed. When the user goes to Adobe's site it says they need to use a 32bit browser.
As stated on Adobe site here:[URL] the Flash player need to be in a 32 bit browser. What options do I have to be able fix this problem? Is there another control that I can use that would be the same in a 32bit platform and 64bit platform? Besides navigating to the Flash program, the browser also goes to standard web pages.
I thought I only needed to click or double click a day on this controll to change it. Do I need to create a click event and if so (I have installed MSDN for VS2008) can I see what events are available.

I am using Visual Basic Express 2005. I am opening the startup form of my application in "Maximized" view. In the form designer, I am setting the anchor properties of the various controls that I have on the form so that they are located where I want them to be located when the Form loads.
I was wondering, if there was a way such that the form in my designer would be of the same size as the Maximized form? As of now I am dragging and resizing the edges of the Form in the Designer view to make it bigger..
is it possible to change the size of the MonthCalendar to say double its standard size and still only display a single month?
When I resize using clientsize, width and height the multiple months are displayed?
I am using the monthcalendar control, i want to change the selected date in the control and i want to the control move to this date

All I want to do is bold all of the dates on the calendar that there are files for.
I created a monthcalendar usercontrol and calling it from a parent form (in this case, click on button to populate the textbox beside it). Two questions.
1. How do I return the selected date back to the parent textbox?
2. How do I bring the monthcalendar usercontrol to the front and back of other objects?
How can I change the color of certain dates in the MonthCalendar control in VB.NET? For example, I need to change the color of Jan 21 to Red, Sundays to Orange and so on...

View 2 RepliesI'm Using MonthCalendar Control in my Form to select Multiple Dates. (for eg. 1st April,20th April,25th April).

[code] MessageBox clearly shows the date selected, but no effect for the "addboldeddate'.
View 3 RepliesI've seemed to found some interesting behavior with the stock MonthCalendar control. I've set the MinDate property to 1/1/1990 but when I try to actually select a date anywhere previous to 1/1/2000 it jumps to 12/31/2999 why is that?
I've tries manually setting it to 4/8/1998 and it jumps to 4/8/2998 which isn't what I would expect a calendar control to do. Is there a reason it keeps it within the 21st century?
[code]For some reason I cannot change the color properties for the MonthCalendar control.[code]No matter what I change it to, it stays to its default color of white and black. Actually none of the color options work on any of the sections of the control.I am trying to hide the white border around the control and but a blue bar under the name of the month (top section).I have tried deleting the control and creating it anew on the form but no luck.It was working a couple of weeks ago.

View 1 RepliesWe are creating a Chat Application for our chatnetwork, we originally made it in VB6 works like a beauty and converting to VB.NET At the moment, it joins the channel fine, nothing wrong with this displays everything it needs to however we are in the process of showing emoticons.While we were on XP in debug mode and release mode, the emoticons showed.Once we moved the compiled version over to Vista Home and Ulitmate the emoticons would not show, we have looked and looked all over google and have not come to a conclusion, today we even moved the whole Project folder over to Vista, ran it in debug mode, and the images still wouldn't show in the RTB. Works fine in XP but not Vista?

View 2 Repliesmy application has "picked up" the old style button design. In Vista the buttons have a slight shadow / 3d effect, however, my application appears not be using the default style and instead applying the older XP, Win98 typ appearance. At first it didnt bother me, however, not its annoying and rather than rip all my code out and apply it to a new project, i would prefer to remove the offending code call.
Its a long shot, but i thought i would see if anyone here knew what might be causing it?
I have an app that opens and closes several other forms. How can I stop the fade in out of the forms when they are opened/closed in used in Vista/7? It just gets annoying.
