View 9 Replies.net - Make A Custom ComboBox (OwnerDrawFixed) Looks 3D Like The Standard ComboBox?
May 3, 2011I am making a custom ComboBox, inherited from Winforms' standard ComboBox. For my custom ComboBox, I set DrawMode to OwnerDrawFixed and DropDownStyle to DropDownList. Then I write my own OnDrawItem method. But I ended up like this:
How do I make my Custom ComboBox to look like the Standard one?
Update 1: ButtonRenderer After searching all around, I found the ButtonRenderer class. It provides a DrawButton static/shared method which -- as the name implies -- draws the proper 3D button. I'm experimenting with it now.
Update 2: What overwrites my control?I tried using the Graphics properties of various objects I can think of, but I always fail. Finally, I tried the Graphics of the form, and apparently something is overwriting my button.
Here's the code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnDrawItem(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs)
Dim TextToDraw As String = _DefaultText
__Brush_Window.Color = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Window)

Custom Cursor - "Image Format Is Not Valid. Image File May Be Corrupted?
Oct 11, 2011I created a new cursor (it works properly, I tried it in windows 7) but is not working for me in the program.I took the Windows cursor (aero_helpsel_xl, from C:WindowsCursors) and it appears to me the same error.i use with this code:

Custom ComboBox Control Appearance
Feb 25, 2010I'm trying to create a ComboBox control with a TreeView style. I have been giving a link to an article by MSDN forums which include a sample as a starting point. [url] I downloaded the sample and convert its C# code to VB. The sample is a windows forms application so I moved the controls of the sample to a new Windows control library. I also modify and added some of the code to try to make it the way I want. Now I'm facing a problem with this control and I need your help to understand why it not behaving the right way. I'm trying to learn and build a ComboBox with a TreeView style.
The control inherits from the windows ComboBox control and when I place it on a form for the first time it look exactly as a CompbBox control but once I run the application for the first time the control appearance become deferent and it's not drowning its self as the windows ComboBox do. When I try to expand its width by dragging one of its sides by the mouse it doesn't work properly. I struggled understand why its behaving this way and how I can correct this behavior but unfortunately I couldn't. [Code]

View 9 RepliesMake A Custom Gui For The App, Which Goes Around The Image?
Apr 5, 2010 I have a background image and i'm trying to make a custom gui for the app, which goes around the image, and of course its an irregular shape, so i thought that i could use the region and so i used several ellipses and the i tried to add a rectangle but the parts that overlap invert the path therefor the part that overlaps is now transparent and not part of the window.
What I would like to do is get some examples of using all the curves, lines... and be able to make one region that is connected with all those paths that are made.
Set Custom Background Image?
Dec 4, 2009I'm having a few problems creating a transparent form. The reason I want to do this is because I'm attempting to make a custom border (one that isn't exactly square).I can already get the form to be transparent, then I set my custom background image, which all works perfect, it even detects when the mouse enters the image, which is great. (I use transparency key to make the form transparent)
The problem is, if I add ANY control, or even if I just save the file, NOTHING else, the whole thing has a spaz attack.. Instead of having the image with the transparent form, the square form appears every time I run the app.
Avoid Closing Of Custom ComboBox Popup Window In DataGrid?
Jan 31, 2012I was trying to block the closing of a custom combo box popup window in my custom DataGrid. The popup window comes by pressing F4 or ALT+DOWN keys in my datagrid which is getting closed if I press the down arrow for the first time, after showing the first value in the combo box as selected. Next time onwards, if I press the F4 key and down arrow, I can move to any item in the popup window and select the item using keyboard and in that case, the popup window is not getting closed till I press the ENTER key or selection using the Mouse.
View 2 RepliesCustom Control And Datagridview ComboBox Cell Back Color
Jun 5, 2009I have added a custom Control to my project, but every time I edit it and rebuild the form that I use the custom control in adds the project name in front of the control and won't compile. i.e. Project name = MyProject, Custom Control name = MyControl. When I rebuild the project after editing my control I get an error, MyProject.MyControl doesn't exist. If I remove the MyProject from the line it compiles and runs fine until next time I edit the custom control.
I can't figure out what I would be doing wrong to cause this, or why it is putting the project name in front of the control, but then not accepting it. I am also struggling figuring out how to change the back color on an individual cell in an Datagridview Combo Box. The style.backcolor property of the cell doesn't seem to do anything.
Custom Control Image Property?
Apr 13, 2012I'm trying use just a user control form to act like the old VB6 picturebox. Mainly, i'm doing this is because a user control form is also a container but i also want it to have an image property. I've done this. The new control does have an Image property but the problem is that the user control form doesn't have an image property but only a BackgroundImage property.I was hoping that there is some way to place the selected image, directly on the surface of the user control and not to it's BackgroundImage property. Here is what is got so far:
Code:
Public Property Image As System.Drawing.Image
Get
Return Me.BackgroundImage
End Get
[code]....
As you can see, for now, i have to use the BackgroundImage property but i want to image to be placed on the controls surface, so that the image can be manipulated, like drawing game tiles on it or image processing. The user control doesn't have a real image property?

View 3 Replies.net - Custom Listview Column Sort Image To Right?
Aug 2, 2010I support a .Net 2.0 Windows application that has a custom listview control to allow for greater flexibility. I am not allowed to bring this to a newer version of the gramework until next year. We are moving from XP to Windows 7, and we have identified an issue with how the column sort image (up/down arrow) is drawn to the listview. Currently in XP, the image is drawn to the right of the column's text. However, in Windows 7, I am getting Access Violation Exceptions. Now, I know that the error is with the improper handling of memory using the unmanaged code as shown below. I am looking for a method to mimic what we have below in a safe manner using managed code.

View 1 RepliesForms :: PictureBox - Image Loading Using ComboBox
May 14, 2009I have a picture box on my form along with a combo box with a number of different options. So anyway when a combo box item is selected I want it to look in the dataset for the selected item's row and pick out the image to load and then using an IF statement it sets the image (or should).
Dim RaceImg As String = DS.Tables("tblRaces").Rows(ID).Item("RaceImg")
If RaceImg = "AusGP" Then
GP_Picture.Image = Image.FromFile("./Track Images/AusGP.png")
ElseIf RaceImg = "MalGP" Then
GP_Picture.Image = Image.FromFile("./Track Images/MalGP.png")
End If
I have tried a number of different ways to get this working, I have tried them in the resources for the program and also tried the following code
GP_Picture.Image = "./Track Images/AusGP.png"
It seems like the picture box isn't redrawing or something? Just to add it will load the first image which is the AusGP because thats the first option in the combo box, after that none of the others will load.

Changing Button Image By Selecting Combobox Item?
Aug 1, 2011I got a Combobox with some items (item1-item7) to select and 54ish Buttons(sButton1-sButton54). Also an array(53) called Buttons. The array is filled with the items to select, like: Buttons(0) = "item 1, item 2" Everytime another item in the Combobox is selected, I'd like only some of the Buttons to change their Image. Therefore I got the array. If Item 1 is selected and Buttons(0) contains the item1 I'd like to change the Button1's image.edit: It works with changing the image of every Button:
sButton1.Image = My.Resources.image1
But I'd prefer to change all in one go (Loop) instead.
sButton(0) = "item1, item2, item3"
sButton(1) = "item2, item3"
sButton(2) = "item1, item3"
