How To Make Control Such As PictureBox Into Star Shape

Jul 22, 2010

If you are using VB.Net 2005 or earlier. It was asked if a control can be made star shaped in this thread. [URL]. Then I have updated my Shape extension method to include a optional third parameter. The 3d parameter is indent percentage or indentPercent. The default is zero so there is no indent. If you indent by say 50% you will get a star shape.

The various ways you can call this extension method are;
'Please note: myControl may be any kind of control
'such as a Button, a PictureBox or whatever.>>
Dim myControl As Control = New PictureBox()
'Defaults to 6 sides with no rotation angle.>>
myControl.Shape()

Cross Thread Error Reading Form Control

Mar 17, 2011

I'm learning VB.NET coming from a VB6 and Java background.In my app, I've got a function that validates the fields on a form. All it is doing is reading them, not updating. I've searched and see info about the backgroundWorker class, but all the examples are about updating the fields.I understand the idea of threading and how it works, but have never written code that spawned threads myself. I've always let the language handle it. It seems like a lot of work that I would have to write a sub using the backgroundWorker for every time I wanted to read or update each field. The couple of books I've got that introduce you to the language show you reading or updating the field directly.How do I know what threads are running other than writing the code like I'm used to then running through debugger to figure out what variables are on which thread?

C# - Vertical Tab Control With Horizontal Text In WinForms

Sep 21, 2011

I would like to have the tabs on my TabControl displayed on the left, or sometimes right. Unlike the System.Windows.Forms.TabControl, however, I would like the text to remain horizontal instead of being rotated by 90 or 270 degrees to the horizontal. Here are a couple of pictures illustrating the concept. Though I could write code to do this myself in about an hour or two, I just thought I'd ask first if there is any existing Winforms control that implements such feature.

Cross Thread Operation Not Updating Control

Apr 28, 2010

I have some controls in a .net 4.0 form - a listbox and a listview item.I also have another thread in the same class which is checking a host for output.It uses delegates to display all incoming data to a richtextbox - this works fine.If the data has a particular signature it sends it to a parser sub in another module.This module tries to update the listbox and listview items with that data after it has manipulated it.The problem is; no data is displayed and no errors are thrown.If I add a msgbox("Test") after the code, it shows the messagebox.If I add a test messagebox inside the delegate function, it shows the messagebox. If I put the same MainForm.ListBox1.Items.Add("Howdy") in a ButtonTest.Click event it adds it correctly.

.net - Which Cross Threading Invoke Function Is Better For A Control That Is Inherited

Nov 9, 2009

I have a relatively simple question regarding the best way to call the DataGridView.Rows.Add function when it is inherited into the current control. Which is the best way to make the call to the inherited control? Call it directly in the invoke or call it using recursive-like function? They both seem to produce the same result, a row gets added and the quantity is returned, but which is the most efficient?The delegate: Private Delegate Function ReturnDelegate() As Object

The two ways are:

A)
Private Overloads Function AddRow() As Integer
If InvokeRequired Then
Return CInt(Invoke(New ReturnDelegate(AddressOf AddRow)))
