Does somebody know where i can get Microsoft's status indicator bar animated image that has a progress bar on it that when it reaches the maximum it goes the other way round.
You can find a small version of it in :c:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7VS2005ImageLibraryVS2005ImageLibraryanimationsstatus_anim.gif and it is called
"Indeterminate status indicator bar".

View 2 RepliesI can't really figure out how to extract frames and what not from an animated image stored in a picturebox. I made a post earlier similar to this matter. But now I must ask how it is that you work with GetFrame and SetActiveFrame.

I am writing an industrial control front-end that has some "fancy" graphics to indicate the states of some machinery. For example, I indicate that some heaters are on by showing red wavy arrows emanating out from a picture of a heater. I accomplished this by creating a class that inherits from PictureBox and using a timer to advance the images:
Public Class AnimatedPictureBox
Inherits PictureBox
Private WithEvents Timer As New Timers.Timer
Public Property Interval As Double
[Code] .....
My question is "Is this an alright way to go about this or is there some obvious better way?" I'm not too good at programming and am worried that having several of these objects with their embedded timers taxing the CPU. I went with animated GIFs for some other animation stuff, but here, I wanted to be able to handle image formats that can handle a larger palette than a GIF (if that makes sense). In other words, when I tried to save some of my animations as GIFs, the image quality took an unacceptable hit.
I need some assistance and I'm beating my head against the wall. I have an application that uses a tri-state CheckedListBox. I use the three states for specific purposes:Checked means tech performed an action Unchecked means the tech didn't perform the action Indeterminate means that the tech didn't perform the action because it was unnecessary.
I need to be able toggle, with the mouse from Checked to Unchecked to Indeterminate to Checked as necessary. If I were using a CheckBox and ThreeState were set to True, this is exactly what would happen, but it appears that the only way to set the Indeterminate state in the CheckedListBox is through code.
How do you change the image of a status label if the image you want to call is from the Resources?
View 3 RepliesI have a checkbox on my form chkActive, I want to deal with it in 3 cases. [Code] I don't have a problem with building the query, my problem is with clicking on the checkbox by clicking on the checkbox by mouse, I can only get Checked and Unchecked, I tried to use the right mouse button click, it did not fired (or I did not test deep enough) I know I can put a button to change the checkbox value to Indeterminate but that will be ugly. I can replace checkbox with combo, which is what i am thinking of doing but I just wonder: Cannot I set the checkbox state to Indeterminate by mouse any how?

my final year project title is monitoring weight changes in digital scale / indicator.i bought one digital scale online from A&D in order to test out my system.however unlikely other device (GSM MODEM, RFID...) there are no drivers or libraries (DLL) from this device.. with only the digital scale and (rs232 9-pins to usb convertor i bought) i was like lost wondering how to get communicate with the device.i have been search around in the internet for similar post.. but there are most likely dealing with the data receiving already. is there any journals or manuals for references? i willing to study over this and not simply ask for full codings.
- how to communicate with the device (serial port communication)
- is there any driver / libraries need to install bfore everything?
OS using - windows 7 ultimate (laptop)model of device - A&D JM-SERIES 150lb

I'm using VB 2008 and windows vista. I'm using a listview in my application.(view=details) I assign an image list to listview.smallimagelist. when user try to sort the listview by clicking the column header i use the imageindex property to set an icon for that column header, this works fine. When user clicks another column to sort the listview by that, I use listview.columns(PreviousColumnIndex).imageindex=-1 to remove the sort order icon from the previously selected columnheader, but it does not remove the picture from the previous columnheader. How should I remove the icon(picture) from the previous column header?
View 7 RepliesI have a tab control (in my case a UltraTabControl from Infragistics) and I add a new tab.
The text of this new tab is set to "Escape &Characters".
lTab.Text = "Escape &Characters"
When visualizing the tab control the & will become an _ (underscore) for the next character - in this case "C"
I know that & is the Microsoft way of indicating a shortcut character - but is there any way of disabling this behaviour?
After a long time searching, I am still facing an issue with my listview column header I am trying to add a sort indicator (a small 16x16 arrow, next to the column title - looks quite good).
- My listview is in Ownerdraw mode for : Items & Subitems for a couple of reasons
- So far, I was letting the system do the job for the header (e.drawdefault = true)
I managed to add very easily the arrow using the e.graphics class, right after the e.drawdefault=true, and it is actually working good.
print01.gif
(Sub ColumnHeader OwnerDraw)
e.DrawDefault = True
e.Graphics.DrawImage(My.Resources.fleche_v2_16x16, 34, 2, 16, 16)
As you can see, I'm simply using a resource, and am forcing it to 16x16 with a custom location x=34 pixels y=2pixels My issue comes with the following :
(Sub ColumnHeader OwnerDraw)
e.DrawDefault = True
e.Graphics.DrawImage(My.Resources.fleche_v2_16x16, (e.Bounds.X + 34), 2, 16, 16)
The arrow wont draw Of course the sort indicator will sometime be on the 2nd column etc.. That's why I need to use the column header's bounds.I can already hear you saying : if you do not owner draw, you can't..But why is it working with a static location (, 34, 2, 16, 16) ans not starting from another static location (e.bounds.x) How can I fix that ? I cant find previous issues similar to that one over the internet.
Points of interest :
- I tryed to load the int value e.bounds.x into a variable before, using that instead of e.bounds.x but it's all the same.
- Using the imagelist is not an option, As you can tell from the screenshot, I am already using images for headers.. the sort indicator is coming as another image
- Using ">" or "<" in the header's text is not an option either........ (sorry pal It does not look good at all..)
- Drawing the header totally in owner draw mode would be an option, but it looks quite hard to do (need to manage the "rounded" header style of the system, the mouse over - small yellow line rounded on the sides in WinXp, the click effect....).

View 1 RepliesI have been given a project to update software written in Visual Basic. The software and some files are enclosed in a folder and was written 3 years ago. I have no clue what to do. All I have been asked to include more controls. The user interface allows user to select three processes by clicking on the buttons on user interface. The new requirements is to add two more buttons. There is not much information so I have to use only the resources available. When I tried to open the project, visual studio prompted to convert the project so its compatible with current version. I could open the project but dont know what to do from there. Please guide me towards the right direction. If the project folder is required please advise me how to attach it too.
