How To Draw A Control Outside Of Its Form
Dec 7, 2010
On Form1 we have: TextBox1 TreeView1 - holds list of customers, is located near the bottom of the form, not visible from the start. Now, when I start typing text in TextBox1 (i need to filter customers), TreeView1 appears and suggest for example 30 customers matching the searched text. I want the program to show the treeview and draw it also outside of the Form1 boundaries.

Well if I press Button1 my dot dashed line is correctly drawn over Label1, but what I need is that program automatically does it on form load.[code]

I've got a usercontrol that's a simple rectangle with three labels on it. It's essentially triggered to give a caption to an image when the mouse is moved over it. As I feared, adding the control to the form (or any container on the form) restricts drawing the control to the region defined by the container. I tried increasing the region of the form and the container, but it still didn't draw outside the container.
So my question is: Is there a way to make the control display partially inside the container/form and partially outside it, or is there a better object type that will do what I want?

I need to get the DataGridView to perform the way it should perform. I'm new to the .NET environment, but I learn fairly quickly. However, I find it difficult to decipher themassive black box of the DataGridView control enough to make it do anything other than what it already does--Draw very slowly.

I have a VB app which draws primitive shapes (lines, filled rectangles etc.) into a picturebox control (from its paint event). I've since found out that a picturebox is probably the worst control to use for this. I've also found out that it's better to draw directly onto the form but I don't really want to do this as a control gives clipping for 'free'.
What would be the best control for this? The panel control looks like a good candidate but the experiment I tried actually performed worse

I have a borderless form that I'm "docking" onto the top edge of my screen. Inside of the form, I'm placing a single toolstrip control, which docks across the entire form -> (picture the taskbar to get an idea of what I'm talking about).Because the borderless form has no edge to it, I wanted to draw a black line along the bottom edg` of the form to differentiate the form from the windows or desktop behind it.
The problem that I'm facing is that`the toolstrip will not move "behind" the line when it's docked, no matter how I order the control layers.
I've tried programatically sending the control to back to no avail either.
Any ideas on how to get the line to show above the docked toolstrip?

I have made a custom control and the only change to the interface is that its a different color. Whenever the user moves their mouse over the control some white text fades in in the middle of the user control. Then after a few seconds the text fades out. The text is actually the location of the cursor but I have that figured out.

how do I draw over existing graphics drawn on the control. This is what I'm using to draw the objects:
'Private paintRect As Rectangle
Private Sub Panel2_MouseDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Panel2.MouseDown
paintRect.Location = e.Location
End Sub

Im looking for an image viewer that supports most types of image formats, including PDFs, and has the ability to rotate/zoom, and draw on an image. I've been looking but to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way of going about modifying a control so that I would have these features? The main problem that I am running into is the lack of the ability to draw on an image. Im still sort of a newbie to .NET,

How does the CheckBox control draw that black check mark in the white box? I can't install .Net Reflector or anything here on my work machine so could someone post the code (vb.net or c# is fine with me)?
Or if anyone knows how to do it (I have an 8x8 Bitmap object I'm drawing on already) I'd like a hand since my math isn't working out correctly[code]...

I'm looking to draw a trackbar normal, only with a transparent background. I have created a new class that supports transparent backgrounds set to true. Without using userpaint, the trackbar does nothing or takes the color of it's parent. When using userpaint I have to draw the control on mine own. Not quite sure where to start first though...
I've read about drawing a line (not so hard), drawing a floating object (to act as marker), and handling events on when the floating object moves left/right... Drawing 3 separate objects inside an inherited trackbar control seems like a clunky way of calling methods that should exist somewhere? Is there an easier way to draw the control normal without a background? If not, some in starting to implement all 3 new objects working together would be good (I could draw them separately but that's about it).

I'm trying to draw a 400x400 px image to a 400x400 form that I made. What I'm doing is:
Graphics.DrawImage Method (Image, 0, 0, 400, 400) 0, 0, 400, 400, ...
But when I run the form, the image seems to stretch slightly upon the y-axis, the x-axis seems to be working correctly.
This was what I was doing before (stretching the old smaller images to fit the size)
... (Image, 0, 0, 264, 231) 0, 0, 400, 400, ...
or something like that. Now that I'm trying to do it the correct way, I can't seem to get it to work properly.
Edit: I wonder if using a simpler verson of Graphics.DrawImage would work?

I want to move cursor with visual basic and it seems I found way how to do that. It is possible even click with Visual Basic whereever on screen. But I cannot check out where on the screen the click was done and so I want to draw two short crossing lines on that point as marker where Visual Basic clicked on screen. If it is possible to move cursor to that position and show it then it is as good as drawing marker.

I am basically teaching my students about OO programming and want them to be able to see the outcomes to methods visually. I want to draw shapes on a form but cant for the life of me get it to work - no errors but no actual shapes are being drawn. So I have created a method called drawFace which is run when a new instance of the object is created. This method has the following code in it
Form1.CreateGraphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Black, 100, 100, 100, 50)
It doesn't cause any errors, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Also tried adding a picture box to the stage and ammending the code as such
Form1.PictureBox1.CreateGraphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Black, 100, 100, 100, 50)
But still no joy.

Everywhere in this picture you see a blank item, or empty space, a control has failed to draw of something. In this case they are all textboxes.
