View 2 RepliesI have an application in which the windows form has 3 panels. Under some circumstances, controlled by the User I want all three panels visible, in other situations I want one of the panels not visible.
The program works if I use the code:
Panel1.Visible = False
Panel2.Visible = True
The program also works if I use the code:
Panel1.Hide
Panel2.Show
Is there some advantage or disadvantage to either of the two approaches?
So I'm NOT trying to programmatically hide panels.
I have a LOT of panels within my program. I programmatically position and show/hide them based upon user input.
The problem is there are so many panels it's making it hard to work on them to add content, buttons, checkboxes, etc. I need a way to make them not show in the VB IDE.
I'm trying to make custom ListBox with some graphics. Base is ItemCollection - each item contains Panel, 2x label and 2x picturebox. What each panel have to do:
- Change backcolor on MouseEnter and set color back when MouseLeave occurs.
- On MouseDown(LMB) - Panel stays "selected" - different color.
Problem: I can't access multiple panels at a time(and I need to), just one via sender as in function. Of course, I can do it hacky way, but I want to do it effective and regular. Is ItemCollection the right solution or should I do it just like an array of panels? Also I want them in one "box", ItemCollection is good for it.
Second "problem": I need to make labels "merged" in panels, when i MouseEnter them(labels), background color on that panel sets to my default color. when i MouseClick them(labels), nothing happens (need to "select" parent panel). It can be again fixed with hacky way, just disable labels - but then the colors of labels are unchangeable.
I'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?

View 1 RepliesI would like to have two different panels (with associated buttons, textboxes, etc.) on the same location on a form. Is this possible and if so, how do I go about doing it? I need this to control two different boards with the same application.I realize it would be difficult to edit the form if they are on top of each other. Is there a way to place these panels apart while designing/coding, but have them located in the same spot on the form during runtime?
View 13 RepliesI am trying to conduct a research experiment using a psychological measure. Basically its a bunch of words and you need to specify a value for (1-5). So, what I did was take a numericupdwn box and a label and paired them up using a panel. I did the same thing for 19 other sets. I placed each one carefully on the grid, nice and neatly, however I need to randomize the order of how they are arranged.
I spent hours trying to figure out how to set the location point for a panel. But to use variables through a random number generator, is simply too difficult!

I am in the process of creating an all-in-one application for my own purposes. This application has panels with different "Mini-apps" inside of each. Timer, Notepad, Calculator, etc... The top of the application is a drop down menu and each of the drop downs has "Minimize" and "Maximize" for the appropriate application. When the minimize function for a "mini-app" is clicked, then that application is not visible. When maximize is clicked, the the application reappears.What I am attempting to accomplish is that when, for example, the two lower panels are minimized then the form resizes to only show the top two application.Basically, its like rows. If the two bottom are not visible, then the application should resize to fit nicer. An example of this type of application would be Windows Calculator (found in Windows 7 systems and probably other OS).[code]
View 2 RepliesI've created a Form with 1600 Panels. Which are all called Panel (1-1600).
E.g. Panel1, Panel2, Panel500, Panel1000, Panel1600
I want a code so that if you click one of the Panels, the BackColor of the panel you clicked on, turns from Control to Red
I think there is an easier code than just adding this:
Private Sub Panel1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Panel1.Click
If Panel1.BackColor = "Control" Then
Panel1.BackColor = "Red"
Else
Panel1.BackColor = "Control"
End If
End Sub
To every single panel.
im using split containers right now to switch between 4 panels is it possible to make the form resize when i switch panels to the size of the contents of panel?

I am using vb.net 2008 i have been using a mdi form which is the startup form for my prog. and i have a main menu on that form. now i would like to shift to tree view as my client has asked for it. whenever a node is selected i can select the form corresponding for that particular code. everything is fine till here. but when the form is loaded the tree view is coming on top of the form the tree view is docked in a pannel. now i have tried everything treemenu.sendtoback and the say the form to b called is taxtypemaster then taxtypemaster.bringtofront but still the tree view is coming over the form
I have tried the following :
Dim mMenuSelected As String = e.Node.Name
Select Case e.Node.Name
[CODE]...
Even the visible doesnt work as it seems after the .show it makes the tree view visible again. how do i hide the treeview pls. someone guide me at the earliest. i feel it is not the prob. of treeview but something to do with the mdi form am i right ?
I have three forms: A, B and C. Upon a button being clicked, A displays B. Similarly, B displays C. Both using the ShowDialog() method.
However when I use the Hide() method (inside a Button Click event) on form C to close it, form B also closes. Why would this be? As far as I can see, it shouldn't be doing this. I certainly didn't write any code to tell it to do that.

UPDATE: I am an idiot. DialogResult was set to Cancel on the button as I'd copy+pasted it from the existing Close button and not realised that property was set

The problem is that this works perfectly if I use the left and right arrows and it also works perfectly if I use the scroll bar's slider SLOWLY.

I'm using 2 forms, one as a login screen and one as a main screen. Once the user is done with the login screen, bearing in mind that he'll never use it again, should I simply hide it with 'me.hide' and change to my new form, or is there a better way to do that, maybe do delete it from memory completely or something?
View 4 RepliesOk, everything is 'functionally' working with what I am attempting to accomplish and once again, I am sure this is something dumb, but I cannot figure out how to do this one thing.I have an edit form for an entity, lets say a car. This 'car' can have 0 - many passengers. So on my edit form, I have all the fields for the car, then a list view showing each passenger (partial). I also have a 'add new passenger' button that will render a new partial view that allows you to enter a passenger. This has a cancel link and an add button to submit an Ajax form. When you add a passenger, the passenger is automatically added to the list, but I need the enter passenger form to go away. I have tried using the onSuccess and onComplete functions to hide the div that the form is in, but both render just the partial view HTML elements (white screen, text) and not the partialView in the context of the entire page.

[Code] when the program is launched normally it works fine but when the program is passed the appropriate command line my program responds accordingly except for the fact that the first form does not hide() when told to. its like the program just skips that line and shows the recovery form.

View 7 RepliesI need to make a button invisible at the start up of a VB form. However, when text is entered into an input textbox the button needs to become visible without a click event procedure. When the button to enter the text from the textbox into an array is clicked the button needs to become invisible again unitl more text is entered into the box, repeating the cycle. I have found related topics but they don't cover this.
