Want to use several panels on a single form and have them turned on based on what button you click. Think I can figure out how to turn panels on and off but I find it difficult to manage multible panels within a single form in Visual Studio.When I create multible panels they end of connect to eachother instead of connecting back to the main form and when you add child controls it is difficult to know what pannel they got connected to.
View 10 RepliesI am fooling around with VB for a while now and it is not the first time I created custom controls to use in an application. The situation: I have a database application (FormView / not GridView). The form is designed the following way: At the left I have a Panel1 with TextBoxes and other controls to view / edit dataset records. At the right I have a Panel2 which contains on default a custom control (a number of PictureBoxes mainly) to view / add / delete pictures associated with the currently viewed data record.
On a ButtonClick at a special button on the ToolStrip, I would like to replace that custom control in Panel2 with another custom control (which contains a search with different search possibilities), so, I basically throw out the PictureControl and load a SearchControl instead. This is the first time where I actually designed the custom controls within the actual project. In past, I always developed the custom controls seperately in a new project and later imported the dll. However, my first attempt just does not work and I don't even know where I should start troubleshooting since I don't get any errors.

When a user is editing a given piece of data, they're allowed to add messages/comments. These are stored as child records in a SQL database. Clicking on the Add Message button brings up a panel (pnlMessage) courtesy of the AJAX ModalPopup Extender. This takes some input and, when the "Send Message" button in the panel is clicked (I learned the hard way to NOT make that the 'OkButton' property), the message is stored in the database and an email is sent to the intended recipients. No problem there.
However, I need to be able to allow the user to add new email addresses (so long as they are registered in our database). I have another ModalPopup / panel combo (pnlSearch) that's tied to a button on the previous panel (pnlMessage).
The user is supposed to be able to add an email or click on a search button to populate a list to choose from.
The pop-up panel (pnlSearch) comes up just fine, but clicking the "Lookup" button (which instigates the search and returns a collection of records that the user is supposed to pick from) closes the panel.
Previously, I ran into the problem of having the Button.Click event never firing when I put the Button into the "OkControlID" property (the CancelControlID works fine since I don't want to do anything). Removing the "OkControlID=Button" line allowed it to work perfectly with the Button.Click event firing as expected.
So now I have the Search panel with a button for "OK" and a button for "Search" - but the panel should stay up and visible after the Search.Click does it's thing. Am I missing some property that basically says "don't close the panel when this button is clicked"? Of course, if I bring up the panel again in the same session, the results from the previous effort are there (the search results).
In VB6 I could embed a panel or picturebox containing controls or images within an outer panel or picturebox. If I moved the outer control then the embedded panel would move with the outer panel and stay in the same relative position, which is what I require. This doesn't seem to happen in VB.NET, the internal panel stays fixed in its location, even if I have pasted this panel within the outer container. Is there are trick to this or do I have to code to get the internal panel to move with the outer one? How does an internal container remain embedded within an outer one?
View 4 RepliesI don't know what is wrong here. Firstly It is Winforms application using .net 2.0.
I have a Panel (backcolor set to Transparent, I want it to be see-through).
At run-time I want to overlap this panel on controls, show a new panel over it (as to make it feel like a model dialog). but the panel is not rendered transparent.
i'm not a pro with vbnet and could use a little help on this personnal project. I'm a bit confounded about how to proceed. I'm creating some kind of gameboard for a figurine game a friend create.

i want that when I double click on the grid, a semi-transparant picture box frame (called Target) appear so everyone knows what you are targetting, which I handled like this : private Sub Targetting(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles gridPanel.MouseDoubleClick

View 6 RepliesSo I have 2 picture boxes, a textbox, and a button. One of the picture boxes adds another row with the same controls but moved down when clicked and the other picture box (should) remove the same row that it was clicked on. I have PictureBoxAdd1, PictureBoxRemove1, TextBox1, and Button1 set up by default and when PictureBoxAdd1 is clicked, it adds 1 at the end of the name properties. Now, how do I remove the appropriate row when PictureBoxRemove is clicked? Say I have 5 rows (but the amount of rows available will depend on how many PictureBoxAdd was clicked), if I click on PictureBoxRemove4, then PictureBoxAdd4, PictureBoxRemove4, TextBox4, and Button4 should be removed all together.

I am working on a project for a handheld in Visual Studio 2008 where I need to add a group of labels to a panel that correspond to a record on the database. The record is a "Pass/Fail" Record. So, if the record is a "Fail", the failed items will be added below the main group of labels; therefore, many child groups of labels will be added below the main group, which is theoretically the header record. I am using a second panel to add the failed items. My issue is how to dynamically add, name, and position the failed item labels and panels. Below, I have included a sample of what I am trying to accomplish.

I have a question in regards to the usability of panel controls (2.0 frameworks). I have a change request that I'm currently working on where the end user wants to see the data in a different format. Currently the data is only being returned in a weekly format, and now they want the data to also be returned in a hourly format as well.
The data is being displayed in a series of labels (child controls) that are tied to a single panel (parent control.) I would like to set the user up with a checkbox that they can use toggle the way that the data is displayed (weekly & hourly), but I would also like to use the same single panel control to display both views (weekly/ hourly). Is there an object associated with the panel control that will allow me to do this? If not then what would be the best approach for this change.

View 6 RepliesI have an application that has a grid of rich text boxes on a panel. I would like to access and modify the text in the various rich text boxes during run time. I know this has been brought up a bazillon times over the years, but I would have done this as a series of control arrays in VB 6. Below is a simplified representation of how the textboxes would appear in a panel if control arrays were availble:
rtbA(1) rtbB(1) rtbC(1)
rtbA(2) rtbB(2) rtbC(2)
rtbA(3) rtbB(3) rtbC(3)
I find that I can access the properties of the rich text boxes via panel1.controls.item(x).text, for example, where x is the control index assigned by the panel when I dropped the controls on it.
Since I created the rich text boxes at design time and dropped them on the panel, it has arbitrarily assigned the index values, and they are not in the index order that I would desire.
How does one re-assign a control's index at design time for a controls collection on a panel? And if one has 24 text boxes on one panel, is there a way to break them into subgroups, such as rtbA(), rtbB(), rtbC() with their own index values?
