I am moving an ellipse over a UserControl that has a gradient filled background, how can I retrieve the background and place it in the ellipse as it moves? I need this to hide the original text, I will draw new text within the ellipse. I will capture the background in the UserControl Paint event before the original text is drawn.
I dont no if this if possible but im trying to set a tooltip on a ellipse that is drawn at run time on the system. I am able to attach the tooltip to a texbox etc but cannot attach it to the graphic.
I have a picture box. The user can click with in the picture box. Anywhere they click it will draw another Ellipse. The problem is the edges of the picture boxes cut the image of the newly drawn ellipse. Is there a way draw the new ellipse so the user can see the entire thing?
Like I imagine everyone, I often have problems navigating my code because the flow can jump from place to place. For example, if my code calls routine1, and I then want to go to routine1's code, I know that I can click in the dropdown menu and it will take me to that sub. But wouldn't it be easier if I could somehow right click on the call to routine way and select something like 'take me there' which would transport me from the function making the call to the code for the function being called? Then it would be easy to hop from place to place.
I am learning Visual Basic 2010 and I am working on a space combat program for my own education and amusement (a simulation of the Honorverse space combat system). I have a routine to add ships to the enemy ship roster and then place them randomly on the viewscreen. When I step through the sub with the debugger, it works fine, but when I run it without stopping, it wants to place all the objects in the same place on the screen. It's actually assigning 2 random numbers pertaining to the size of the viewscreen and assigning those numbers to GameObjectScreenLocation through GameObjectWorldLocation.X and GameObjectWorldLocation.Y. The objects are fully initialized to 0 in their constructor, FYI. Code is below:
I am using query from a SQLite database as the AutocompleteCustomSource for a ComboBox. Also, I want to load data in separate thread. My LoadData method works fine when called directly, but it fails when it is called from the BackgroundWorker thread. When it is called from the background thread, it throws a Specified cast is not valid exception on the csearch.AutoCompleteCustomSource.Add(hh("Taj")) line. Below is my code:
Sub LoadData() Dim connetionString As String Dim cnn As SQLiteConnection
what I am trying to accomplish worked with the code in the last thread I posted a while back. I still am using this code, however, I changed the window size to work better and gave it a nicer background for the title screen of my project. Now what I am working on at the moment is making a settings form that has 2 labels. One for "Default" Layout and one for "Plain" layout. When default is at start, the default label is disabled,and when plain layout is clicked, the button is disabled and default button is enabled.Basically, this is a toggle switch for default or plain where if one is enabled, the option for it is disabled and the other is enabled.My problem is that when I switch from Plain back to default, the background Image will not switch back from the plain background color of "control"Here is my code:
Public Class Settings Private Sub LinkLabel1_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs) Handles LinkLabel1.LinkClicked MiDNiGHT.BackgroundImage = Nothing[code].......
i am using vb.net i just wanna ask if we can place a picture in a picture box in different places... for example, we place a picture in the center of a picture box then we place another picture on the left side of the picture box. is it possible?? and also can we use one picture box that can contain more pictures or images on it??? to make it clear, it is a drag and drop senario, first you have to drag a picture from a toolbar for example, then you are to drop it on the picutre box, the problem is, we have to drop more than one picture in the picturebox, so is it really possible?
I am writing a program, and this is only a very small part of it, but it is crucial. i am trying to upload a file to my server, and i am placing the full filepath of the server in a string, before uploading the file. here is what i have[code]...
I'm working on a program that has a picture box that moves. I want to have a picture box here and then also somewhere else that are the same. The reason being is that I need the first box that moves to be stopped by these two boxes.I need the second box to work something like this (Using forms as an example because they actually work)
I have made a X,Y counter with a timer and a Label. Its work, but sometimes the X,Y values is not corret, as before.We say that a red dot has the X,Y Value 300,400. Then i close the program och open it and check agin. Then the dot can have the X,Y values 304,407. Now it's seems to be that the program has choosen that the red dot has the 304,407 as X,Y value. But i KNOW sometimes it's goning to chanes back.
I designed a DAL (data access layer). This DAL mainly consists of a handfull of methods to call stored procedures. All methods are shared. So no instance generation of the DAL class occurs.
The DAL with it's single class is located in an own project. The connection string is defined in the app-config file of this project.
I want other applications to use the DAL class by referencing the dll generated by the DAL-project. For this reason, I can not any longer define the connection string in the DAL app-config as it is, because the client application determines which database needs to be used.
- Dropping the "shared" keyword of my methods. Create an instance of the DAL class. Add a property for the connection string. When application starts, create one global or multiple local instance/s of the DAL and set it's connection string property.
Comment: I don't like this, because it implies more coding work on the application code side (create instance of class, assign connection string)
- Granting the DAC class access to the connection string defined in the application code by adding a connection string property inside the application code. Thus the DAC class remains "shared".
Comment: I'd need to set a reference from the DAL to the application code during without knowing the application yet. I could try stack tracing or something like that. But it feels to convoluted for me.
I am having hard time determining how to get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place determined by time. I was thinking about bubble sort through an array, but since I am determining lowest to highest based on numbers = runner it just sounds more confusing. The code to determine second is not that efficient, I know there is an easier way. That is the part where I am stuck.

I am working on a project in which I would like to generate a map. It should be in bitmap form, and should include such things as roads and cities. I DO NOT want to generate a map of a real place.
I spent most of Friday deleting stuff out of my windows project and/or starting from scratch when the data base was changed. What is the cleanest way to get the data base and data set changes in place? The current changes(which I have not applied yet) effect the file that I am maintaining in my windows project. Right now, we manually delete the data set project from our local PC, then copy the new one down from it's permanet location on the server.
