I am trying to stack panels on top of each other, but they keep becoming children of the one I put them on top of. I am stacking three panels. I want to show each based on certain criteria. The showing and hiding works if they are not directly on top of each other. However, I would like to have them on top of each other. They are all exactly the same size and same position
View 2 RepliesI'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.
The problem in my program is that if I choose another pen size/color, what I've written previously on the picturebox changes also its size/color.Here's my code
Dim my_picture As New System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath()
dim my_color As New Color()
Private Sub pbPen_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles pbPen.Click

I have a main form called frmMain from which all other forms and actions are launched. In the menu bar on frmMain there is a text box where the user can enter an inventory item number. This shows a new instance of frmBundleSearch. This frmBundleSearch may get multiple new instances opened at a time. What I would like to see is the frmMain in the taskbar separate from the frmBundleSearch when it has enough open instances to begin stacking in the taskbar. Right now, when I debug, when the taskbar starts stacking the application's forms, all of them are in the same stack, so right-click and "Close All" nukes the whole app. Is it possible to keep them separated?

View 7 RepliesI have a form which has two panels each containing there own controls (Pnl1, Pnl2). By Default I want Pnl1 to show and Pnl2 to be hidden which I have set but I want Pnl2 to sit ontop of Pnl1 so when Pnl2 is selected Pnl2 is Visiable and Pnl1 is hidden. Therefore Pnl2 and the controls sit in the same place as the controls in Pnl1. I have got everything lined up but as I move Pnl2 over Pnl1 to sit ontop, Pnl2 is moved into Pnl1 and becomes a Panel within the Controls of Pnl1. Therefore when I hide Pnl1 everything is hidden as Pnl2 is part of Pnl1.

View 2 RepliesIm working to develop an application thats going to run on some not-so-good as performance PC's. The application is done in VB.NET and i encountered some obstacles during my work.
The idea of the application is to allow the users to slide through some pages when they click with the mouse and drag (while the left click is pressed) to right (for browsing to the previous page) and to left (for browsing to the next page). Every page contains 4/6/9 panels with 4/6/9 pictureboxes with some gifs as images.
The issue is that when the user drag with the mouse to browse to a page, the panels and the pictureboxes jerks around when they are moved.
Here is the code that handles the slide part
If i + speed < 1024 Then
For j As Integer = 0 To nrOfGamesInTotal - 1
totemGame.gamePanel(j).Left = totemGame.gamePanel(j).Left + direction * speed

View 1 RepliesTo save from using several different forms in programs. I'd like to make just a few panels to represent each one. Then when I need to display one I just set it to visible or not visible.
For example, a quiz program. The 1st 10 questions are on one panel, the 2nd 10 are on a 2nd panel. They are both identical except different questions.
The problem is, when I try to put them both on the form, they have to be in different areas or else one will go inside the other. How can I keep several panels on one form without them going inside each other, in other words how can I keep them separate?
I have here another question. I have a panel with about 20 different panels inside of it. There is a "mouse move" event for panel 1, How could I make is so if the mouse is over 1 of the 20 different panels, Have it display the panel name? I would paste source but that's why I'm posting here.
View 1 RepliesI am looking to make an application where panels might seem to be very heavily used. Is it recommended not to use them for large item management?For instance, I want to have a menu with flat style button. When clicked on, they will hide all other menu panels and show the options for that buttons clicked. From there, for each option clicked, it will display a panel on the right with various results for the specific criteria selected.
View 5 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?

View 16 RepliesI have a program that will use a lot of panels. The panels will all be on top of each other. Then if you clicked an option on one of the panels it would cause another panel to come up and so on. This is a game so it's not like the panels come up in a set order each time. Depending on what the use selects a different panel could come up in a different order.
z-order or hiding Z-order is supposedly a nicer way to do it instead of hiding so i was going to try that, but sometimes when a panel comes up it has info from another panel on it or the panel doesn't show at all and other things like that.Is there a way i could send all panels to back and bring only the panel i want to front other than doing something like..
VB.NET
Panel1.BringToFront()
Panel2.SendToBack()
Panel3.SendToBack()

Since doing that every single time would take so much time depending on the number of panels there is.
I've been kinda stuck on a problem where I have to make Conway's game of life, simply stated I need to check all panels directly around* another panel is there a way to do this easily, other than using a billion if's in the program. Tab index? I could switch to button's if I wanted to but at that same time I find panels to be simpler for stuff like this unless anyone has a different opinion.
