Interface And Graphics :: Listbox Event - Scrollbar That Comes With ListBox Is Too Small For Touch Screens

Jan 6, 2011

The scrollbar that comes with the ListBox is too small for touch screens, so I use my own scrollbar instead. But when you do this on various forms you end up repeating a lot of code. So my solution was to create a custom scollbar that has a property I can set to the control I want it to be a scrollbar for. In vb6, I can use the withevents keyword to get access to the control's events so that all the scrollbar related code can be in the custom scrollbar object I created, except...I had to create a refresh method for the consuming code to use to let the scrollbar know when the number of items changes. The scrollbar doesn't need to be told how many items there are because it has access to the control, but for a listbox there is no event to tie into when an item is added/removed so not 100% of the scrollbar related code could be encapsulated.

Interface And Graphics - Listbox Update Item

Jul 3, 2009

On my form is a listbox. When the user clicks insert (in the menu) then I add a blank item in the listbox. The user then enters the data and then I want to update my listbox with the value(s) the user entered. The problem is that I don't see the update in the listbox, unless I reload it from the database.

Interface And Graphics :: Custom ListBox Control

Dec 8, 2009

I'm trying to build a custom ListBox control as inspired by the 'Audi Infotainment System' on high-end Audi vehicles. The only difference is i would like to have a 'boundary' where when scrolling up/down moves the actual list up or down. Basically, i would like my list to act like a normal ListBox except i would like to show say one or two items above and below normally only visible items.

Interface And Graphics :: VB ListBox Control Display Names?

Dec 20, 2010

I don't usually use VB but now I must for an assignment. I would like to know if it's possible to change the display name for an object on a listbox. For instance, if I add to it a user defined class, there's a way to provide it's display name, instead of converting it to string and then add it.

This is what I have

Dim format As String = FormatOutput(object)
Lista.Items.Add(format)

I would like to have the same output, but instead add the object.

Note: if such is not possible, then how can I associate the list box selection to the actual object? Doing it by index is painfull, because I'm using linked lists (ie., instead of arrays).

Note 2: python has a __str__ method which is called by default when the object is cast to string. Is there anything like it in VB?

Interface And Graphics :: Made A Label To Track The Scrollbar's Value?

Jan 13, 2011

So, in my vertical scrollbar, the maximum value is 16. In my application, I made a Label to track the scrollbar's value, just for testing purposes.I noticed that when I move the bar to the bottom, the value is 6. And when a release the button (stop holding it with the mouse), the value becomes 7.

Something similar goes when I move the button to the top: It is 1, and when I release the button, it becomes 0.That's a bit weird, but what mainly bugs me is why I cannot reach value 16?

Interface And Graphics :: Touchscreen Scrollbar Button Height / Width

Jan 21, 2010

I'm developing a GUI for a touchscreen, so when user wants to scroll he/she uses their fingers. Now the thing is that the scrollbar width (with the vertical scrollbar) IS adjustable but the button stays the same height and isn't sufficient for a finger. So the question is : Are the buttons in the scrollbar allso adjustable in size/dimensions.

VS 2008 Scrollbar In A Vb ListBox With 100000 Items?

May 8, 2009

Im trying to fill a ListBox with more than 65542 items in a Visual Basic .NET 2008 project. The ListBox seems capable to collect 100000 articles, but when i scroll through the list the scrollbar works till the 65500th listing (more or less) then it just jumps upwards.The weird thing is that I have two version of the same project which have different behaviors. One (tmp.zip) scroll fine with the scrollbar, but it doesn't with wheel mouse button.The other (listBox.zip), the scrollbar goes mad but mouse wheel seems ok

listobox.zip: is a new project created within VS 2008 tmp.zip: is a cleaned up form imported in VS 2008 from an early version (VS 2003?)

Vertical Scrollbar Getting Smaller, But No Data Is Shown In The Listbox?

Jan 9, 2009

I have been working on a much larger project and came to a point where I decided threading should be used.It seems in previous version of .Net, a background worker was able to update controls that were were not created on that thread. Now, it doesn't seem to be the case.I basically just began a new small project to try and teach myself the basics.Form1 Consists of A listbox, A progress bar, a label and two buttons, one to start and one to cancel.

imports system.threading
private sub btngo(byval sender as system.object, byval e as system.eventargs) handles btngo.click
pbprogress.minimum = 0[code=....

This code appears to be updating the listbox.I can see the vertical scrollbar getting smaller, but no data is shown in the listbox. The progressbar is also updating properly while that is working, indicating proper background operation.But what it's not doing is this:

1. Label is not updating percentage

2. The form is not free to be used by the user (me)

VS 2005 DGV Vert Scrollbar Messing With Listbox Position

May 16, 2012

Very simply, I'm positioning a small ListBox over a DataGridView column when the user right-clicks and selects "Show Distinct Values". This works fine until the vertical scrollbar of the DataGridView is clicked. Once that's done the listbox pops up all the way over to the left edge of the DataGridView. As confirmation of the problem I created a small app to test with.

ListBox PreferredHeight - Make ListBox Calculate Correct Integral Height Before ListBox Is Made Visible

Nov 19, 2009

If I set a ListBox.Height = ListBox.PreferredHeight when the control is hidden and IntegralHeight = True, then set it visible:

a) Actual Height reduces by typically 3-5 pixels after redraw (but not 1 pixel per item).

b) PreferredHeight does not not appear to give the correct integral of item heights.

Is there a way to make ListBox calculate the correct integral Height before the ListBox is made visible, so it can be correctly pre-positioned from bottom edge?

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

ListBox1.Visible = False
ListBox1.IntegralHeight = True

Interface And Graphics :: Calling The Paint Event?

Now I'm looking for a way to draw this rectangles without refreshing them every single tick. I've just started using Visual Basic and I really don't know how to call/raise PictureBox1_Paint event every timer_tick or how to store drawing data in member variables?

Interface And Graphics :: Resize Event Not Fired When Form Loads?

Nov 4, 2009

Back in the VB6 days, I could count on frmWhatever_Resize() to be fired when a form is loaded. That doesn't still seem to be the case. Since my resize event is filled with all the code I want that adjusts the size and placement of things, I decided to just call it from the end of the form's load event. That has no affect. I'm guessing that the form isn't actually shown until form_load is finished?

is there some other event that is fired when a form is shown, so I can call my resize code there?

Listbox Items Colour - Two Types Of Items Populating In A Listbox (checked Listbox)

Apr 28, 2009

I am using VB.NET (version 2008). I have two types of items populating in a listbox (checked listbox). For example: lets say one is type "A" and other is "Type B". Their names maybe same so if the user sees those items in listbox then he won;t be able to determine their type until he click on them and checks out its properties. I wanted that I add each item to listbox and colour them so that blue for example means type "A" is there and red means the other. So this way I will be able to know at a glance that how many item of what type is present. I guess it may not be possible to do that in a standard checkedlistbox. I am also using component factory's krypton controls which enhance the gui of an application. But I dunno if I can progress using that.

Interface And Graphics :: Passing Bitmaps & Graphics To Subroutines As Arguments

I used to program with Visual Basic 6, so I have alot of old programs that I'm updating, plus I'm learning the new VB2008 methods. I'm writing a program that replaces the old "BitBlit" function which is no longer supported by Visual Basic 2008. It involves three picture boxes, one holds the sprite bitmap, a second holds the mask (silhouette) of the sprite bitmap, and a third has a background image.
