View 7 RepliesI have been told before that it is possible to create sections of code which can be collapsed and expanded like a normal Public or Private Sub, but containing multiple Public Subs So say I have code for a variety of textboxes I wanted to be able to collapse, how would I do this?
View 3 Repliesi want to make the listview control collapsible to the groups alone. Like in Vista's My Computer, where only the group names are shown and then we click on the group to expand it
View 3 RepliesI'm wanting to make a "Farmville" like game. However, I dont know how to make the map larger then my viewable screen. So how do you make your forum larger then the viewable screen and allow players to "scroll" through the map or allow them to "zoom" to different locations of the viewable map?
View 6 RepliesIn my grid I have data in two columns same for couple of rows. Then again couple of other rows will same with different data.I want make them into alternative sections with colors In below example(image).
Rows no 1 to 4 has 'High', 'High'. I want make them gray bgcolor for those rows.
Rows no 5 to 8 has 'High','Low'. I want make them white bgcolor for those rows
Rows no 9 to 12 has 'High','Medium'. I want make them again gray bg color for
those rows.
I'm making an application in vb.net and during the development has arisen the need to make a form greater than the screen resolution.For example:
Screen resolution: 1280x800 and 2560x1600 sizes form
Obviously, the form should
not have scrollbars.
when the message box appears after enter is seleted, is there a way to:
- put a title on the message box?
- make the font size larger?
- change the background color?
- make the box itself larger than the longest text imput?
- have the ability to copy to clipboard what is in the message box so it can be pasted somewhere else?
Show me how to find certain text between 2 markers within a textbox.For example I have in the textbox:
this is a test [ST]MY DATA[FIN] for my program
i need to find the text thats inbetween [ST] & [FIN]...so the end result would be that textbox2 would say "MY DATA"
I'm looking for how to set the error markers (red ! marks) in a Windows.Forms.Datagrid. After research I believe they appear after some validation routine, but how do I set these manually? E.g. If each row goes to a stored procedure I'd like to place an error marker whenever the SP returns an error
View 1 RepliesI'm using the Microsoft Chart Controls for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and am having a spot of trouble getting Data Markers to show on the image.I'm generating the chart at run-time, so can't just use the designer.
Sub New()
MainChart = New Chart
MainChart.Size = New Drawing.Size(500, 200)
[code]....
Which all works lovely, and I get pretty charts.The only problem is that there are no markers on the datapoints.
I have read that VB .NET in earlier versions limited the FORM size to that of the development machine screen resolution.I am hoping that there is a way in the current VB 2010 to get around that.However in my attempts to make the form larger, it always resets itself to the screen height on my develoment machine.Is there a way to get around this and have the person be able to use a scroll bar to move down?The data I wish to show actually has two screens worth of information but the stuff in the scroll down section would be used on a limitied basis so scrolling will be useful rather than having to recreat the screen to show less data at one time.

View 3 RepliesLike the title says, panel/window, I'm not sure what controls are used to get the effect of collapsible windows, so I don't know what to search for. I'm trying to add 2 windows to my main form, one will have a treeview on the left and the other I would like to have similar to the VS collapsible panel/window (not sure if they're windows or panels or whatever) that will display detailed information about an item selected from a Listview on the main form. I don't need the fancy "Autohide" or other features, just a simple docked area that I can collapse/show whenever needed.

I'd like my TreeView's nodes to always be expanded. Is there an elegant way of preventing nodes from being collapsed?
View 4 RepliesI have custom collapsible panel control. I put it into a FlowLayoutPanel. he FlowLayoutPanel is docked within my form. The Panel Anchor property is set to Left/Top. The purpose of the anchor is so that if I want to put multiple panels in the FlowLAyout Panel, they will all stay snuggly together when they are expanding and collapsing. The panels work fine.

View 1 RepliesWhen you set a region equal to another, or set it equal to a new instance, do you have to call dispose on the region, or does VB do that? (I guess this isn't necessarily specific to regions)
ex:
'at some point in the code a region is created
Dim Rgn as New Region(SomeRect)
'....
[Code].....
If Rgn now points to the Rgns(0) clone, what happens to the original memory created by "New Region(SomeRect)"? Do I need to call dispose on Rgn before assigning it to the the Rgns(0) clone?

I know i can collapse all regions with Ctrl+M, Ctrl+O - but that also collapses all of the subs/functions/properties etc within the #Region.if it collapsed all of the sub regions too - just not the subs etc.Is there a way to collapse all top level regions only? Maybe an extension?
View 1 RepliesI always get worried and my layout when i code. I always get myself in a flap when coding and worried i should be doing it different.What i am going on about is not the code it self. But where i actually put the code.
What i am thinking about is functionality (does it matter if formload code is at top/bottom/ or even middle)
And read ability. Do i put all button events into regions?
When I select an area of text in Visual Basic Express 2010 and then go click Edit/Outlining/Hide Selection; the area collapses and is represented by three dots like "...". Is there a way to put my own title, description or label on it for better meaning and communication?
View 1 RepliesHowever, I recently tried to use it in a repeater. Essentially my company wants to have a number of different values displayed as the main repeater (no problem setting that up). When the user clicks on a field within that repeater, they would like the collapsible panel to open up and display the detail information for that piece of data. The details are within a sub repeater.The repeater functionality and the child repeater functionality are working perfectly. So the repeater and the child repeater aren't the issue. If I take the collapsible panel extender out the data displays perfectly.The problem is that once I start opening and closing the panels, the screen rendering starts to go crazy, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it.
For example, on the initial screen rendering I get seven entries. They look perfect. Each of the seven line up across the screen and no extraneous data is shown.I click to open the first row, and it displays great. No problem. But when I then click it again to close the first row, I only see the first four rows of data, then a huge white space with a few seemingly random characters, then the next 2 rows, a smaller whitespace, then the seventh row. I click to open the first row again and everything looks exactly as it should again. Again close, again 4 rows, whitespace, 2 rows whitespace, last row.I reload the page and everything is ok.
So now I click on the second row to open it and everything looks perfect. I close the second row and I get the exact same result.Has anyone ever tried to use the ajax collapsible panel inside a repeater? If so, have you encountered strange rendering behavior such as this? And if so, were you able to get it to work?Here's a stripped down version of the

In my IDE #Region statement are left justified by the auto outlining tool. I think this is ugly. Is there anyway to make #Regions have standard indentions? I am using Visual studio 2008 version 9.0. See code block below for an example.

I'm refactoring VB.NET code where methods routinely run five hundred lines and the references are so tightly coupled that the code defies simple refactoring such as method extraction. And that's why I thought I would try regions within a method body. I just wanted to organize the code for the short term. But the IDE didn't let me (resulted in a compiler error.) I'm just curious as to why? Seems like code regions shouldn't impact the compiler, intellisense etc. Am I missing something? (Still using VS 2005 btw.)
Interesting: This seems to be language specific. It's OK in C# (I didn't check that initially) but not in VB.NET.
public module MyModule
Sub RunSnippet()
dim a as A = new A (Int32.MaxValue )

that gets a compiler error but the C# version is ok.
I would like to create an interface that brings with it it's own private variables and regions.for example, if you create a class and implement IDisposable, you get all of the following:[code]
View 3 RepliesI've been having several problems lately with clients that are using a different Windows Region setting than I am. The error is as follows:
The type initializer for 'InventoryDataTable' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'InventoryDataTable' threw an exception. ---> System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
The error occurs when users load the application and their region settings do not match my own. The application loads up a dataset and attempts to receive a small amount of data before allowing the user to log in. When this is removed, the problem occurs immediately after the user logs in to the app. I cannot seem to find the proper settings to force the user to use either my Region, or to allow the application to figure it out on it's own...
In Visual Studio C# (2008) ctl-M-L expand all the regions. There's also a setting in Text Editor->C# ->Advanced to not collapse during file open. I see no equivalents in VB.NET.Is there a way to expand all the regions, not just the one which has focus in VB.NET.
