Interface And Graphics - Displaying Child-forms In A MDI-application
Jan 23, 2010I'm having a small problem concerning displaying maximized child-forms in a MDI-application. Everything works fine on Win. Vista but when I start the program on a PC with Win. XP it doesn't look very nice. I found some similar threads on the internet but no answers. Does anyone know how to display maximized windows in MDI properly? [Code] On Vista the child-form switch/appear really smoothly. On XP you can see as they are being maximized.

Interface And Graphics :: Controls Not Displaying
Dec 31, 2009I have inserted a form into my project that a friend sent over. The form works but if I add more controls to it they are not displaying.
The controls are all there in the <form>.designer.vb file but are simply not displaying when I run the form.
I have looked around the net but can find no reference to a similiar problem.
Interface And Graphics :: Displaying Data Graphically (Ultrasonic Radar)?
Mar 15, 2012I'm working on an ultrasonic sonar and I would like to use the computer to display a standard green radar system detecting the objects. I'm using a micro controller with the software written in C to send out the sensor's angle and position and it works fine.On the computer side, I'm using Visual Basic 2010 to read the COM port which then contains the sensor's data in numbers (sensor's angle and distance between sensor and object)which is a constant stream. On the debug screen (Textbox) I can already see all the data coming through.Now my question is: How do I convert those numbers into graphics?
More explanations about these numbers I want to convert:I have a step motor to rotate the ultrasonic sensor, and it works that way:The motor advances 1 step forward, then measure distance between sensor and object, then send these 2 values out.So, if you see the attached file, those numbers on the text box mean:
000032 -> 000: step number & 032: 32cm between sensor and object
001031 -> 001: step number & 031: 31cm between sensor and object
002032 -> 002: step number & 032: 32cm between sensor and object
003007 -> 003: step number & 007: 7cm between sensor and object
and so on...
So those are the numbers I wish to convert into graphics. The scan line would need to rotate clockwise at same speed of the step motor. And then I would like to display dots when an object is detected
Interface And Graphics :: Displaying Images On Mouse Hover In Different Window?
Jan 28, 2009I am starting to develop a card game client for a CCG a friend of mine and I are creating.
I have 2 forms Client.vb and Hand.vb linked with a module.vb
In essence when the app starts up I see the client. I can then click the "Hand" button and the Hand Window is shown as well.
What my goal is is to have it so that when i hover over the card (picturebox) in my hand form that it displays a larger image of that card in the preview box (Another picture box) In Client.vb
I have everything working except when i actually mouse over the image in the hand form it creates an error:
Error:A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in CCG 2.0.exe
The code in the mouse hover event:
Code:
F1.PictureBox2.Image = F2.PictureBox1.Image
Im Almost certain im going about this the wrong way but I cant seem to figure out any other way...
PS.I have attached an image to demonstrate what Im trying to do...

Mar 24, 2011As Autodesk is going to discontinue VBA for their Inventor product in the near future I have been looking at other ways to run VB.NET in Inventor. To date it doesn't look like VSTA will be the replacement. Automation from an External VB.NET app is certainly possible, but leaves something to be desired for speed and integration. Compiled Add Ins are the Cadillac of choice but can be a royal pain to debug and develop. Autodesk now provides a lightweight VB.NET script interface called iLogic. It's main purpose is to allow extreme customization of Solid Modeling parts. The code actually resides inside the Part Model file.

Interface And Graphics :: Gradient To MDI Form Causes Flicker?

This gets pretty annoying at times and you see the background flicker.

View 2 RepliesInterface And Graphics :: Unable To Shrink A Form?
Mar 17, 2010I have a Visual Studio 2005 VB project that creates a fairly simple form containing three text boxes with corresponding labels. In terms of property settings I have AutoSize set to True, AutoSizeMode set to GrowAndShrink, SizeGripStyle set to Show, and WindowState set to Maximized.
I'd like the user to be able to grow and shrink this form using the resize grip that appears in the bottom right corner. When the application starts, it starts maximized, which is what I want, and it has the typical minimize, restore down, and close buttons in the upper right corner.
I can use restore down to reduce its size, and once that's done I can use the resize grip to make the form larger, but the resize grip will not allow me to make the form smaller. Changing WindowState to Normal doesn't change this behavior.
Interface And Graphics :: Add Control Panel To Side Of Form
Jul 12, 2011I've got an app that I want to have an MDI with. It functions fine, but there needs to be a control panel off to the side of it to drive the child documents' creation. I have two problems with this.
First, if I add the control panel to the side of the form, it just overlays the MDI portion of the form and the children will spawn behind it. I can more or less manage the positions of these children, but the problem comes when I want to minimize the children, they minimize behind the control panel and I don't know how to move them. So I need to shrink the area they can move around in. I've read in places that you can use the splitter object, but that never seems to cooperate with me and only wants to move to the extreme left or right of the parent form. How can I reduce the area the children get to interact with? I've tried creating a MDI Panel, but VS has a fit with that.
Second, I've got a datagridview holding the data that will spawn the child forms. This is working well, but even though I've set the rows to be not resizeable, I can still make them grow or shrink during run-time (not programmatically). How do I stop this?
Interface And Graphics :: Cancel Close On An MDI Child Form?

Jun 17, 2009I've got a question and i think its very simpel but i don't get it.
I've got 1 form that is a MdiContrainer for other forms that i'm opening.
(lets say: the main program)
In the main program, i'm opening a form with a datagrid in it (configuration form). If i click on one of the data cels I'm calling a otherform as a dialog to edit some of the value's from the data cel thats just clicked.
But the problem is, when showing this form as a dialog, with the property startposition: Centerparent it displays it as in the center of the main program and not from the calling form. How can you correct this? Because i'want the dialog in center of the calling screeen.
dialog.parent = me: wont work
see attachment for the program.
