View 1 RepliesI am trying to write a program where I have to create a Reset Button.On the form are two buttons a textbox and a label.I have to put some information in the textbox and if the information is wrong I get an error message, I have finished that part of the program.My problem is creating the Reset button.When I get an error I need to press the reset button to clear the data in the textbox and replace it with the words Reset Button in the textbox. Also I have to create a label that doesn't appear unless I don't press the Reset button to start over. So if I have an error and try to type something else in the textbox without pressing the Reset button then the label appears and say YOU NEED TO PRESS THE RESET BUTTON. That is the only time that the label will appear is when I don't press the reset button.

I'm making a custom class that mocks the System.Drawing.Rectangle class because the Rectangle class doesn't have a name property. I need a name property because I am adding all of my rectangles to a collection and I need a little more info stored than just their locale and size. So I changed the _onPaint event but nothing is working out when I run the program?

I plan on using a scrollbar for, well, scrolling an image. The image is 200x500, however, the only visible area is 200x250.
So I set the max value to 250, and the min value to 0. The idea is that if I drag the scrollbar's button to the bottom, 250 pixels will have moved for the image, right?
But wait, the scrollbar's button is.... very small. And the scrollbar is actually pretty long. Is there a way to make the scrollbar's button longer?
I was wondering if there is a way to have a button/label that would change the selected item color of the combobox from the standard black into a certain color (say green), but not change all of the items' color into green. This is for a to-do list type of application where a user clicks the button to signify that the current item is finished..This is what I was thinking (not in VB code) When button1 is clicked, combobox1. selecteditem. color = green
View 1 RepliesI am working on a graphics application. If there were, for example, 3 rectangles in the picturebox. If you were to right click one of them a contextmenu would pop up. In the context menu you are able to click a button called Fill. When you click fill the selected rectangle gets filled in with the colour white. The rectangles are drawn by the user.
View 2 RepliesThis is VB 2008, under Vista. I can't seem to change the background color of a button without the gradient disappearing.Strangely enough, you can even set the background color to itself and the gradient disappears. How do you keep the gradient but change the color?
Here's an example:
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Button1.BackColor = Button1.BackColor ' This should do nothing!

I can tell when the user clicks on my picturebox. Can I tell which mouse button was used? Left or right?
View 1 RepliesI have a form with buttons, and the user can change the colors of the buttons with the color dialog box for fun:
Button_Play.BackColor = ColorDialog.Color
There is a reset button to put the colors to how they were without any special coloring, but I can't get them to go back to how they originally looked.They go to gray in the middle, instead of the nice shaded blue/gray style. I have tried a few different things:
Button_Play.BackColor = Button.DefaultBackColor
Button_Play.BackColor = SystemColors.Control
Button_Play.BackColor = Color.Empty
I am using VB '08 Express on Win XP with the Desktop, Display Properties, Appearance, Windows and Buttons: set to Media Center Style and Color Scheme: set to Energy Blue. how to (with this theme) get the button to look like default after changing the color?
I need to visually moves the cursor using keyboard keys.
1) I need to get the mouse to where the button is
2) Simulate the mouse movement to the button from whereever it is
3) and simulate a button click.
Only after I select a button I can start drawing on my form. I have a code here, when I hold the Ctrl key and press the arrow keys, the mouse will start drawing straight lines. But what happen when I need to use controls like buttons, comboboxes etc.?
i want to make a class for a custom button for which the user of the class can choose his own images for Normal, mouse over and mouse down state.

View 3 Replieshow to enable the "import" button when at least one of the checkboxes is checked.I have two buttons : "Deselect all" and "Select All" for the checking of the boxes, to import the specific files' data they want to Excel. (the files are in listbox, and the checked boxes is for selecting the files' parameters that they want to see in excel)
One option:When the user deselect all, the "import" button is suppose to be disable to prevent the user from importing the files' data parameters.
2nd option:(if i do not want to disable the import button) or show message that they have to select at least one box and at the same time, prevent the import button to work if there's no checked checkbox. So my deselect all button code :
Code:
CO2checkbox.Checked = False
NH3checkbox.Checked = False
DBcheckbox.Checked = False
[code]....
but the button still remain disabled if I click "unchecked all" button and then checked at least one box. how do I enable it?And how do i...show error message and prevent the files' data to be imported when the user click "import" when there's no checked checkbox if I choose the alternative option of using message to alert them without disabling the button and yet prevent importing of data?
PS: If I did not click "deselect all" button but click the "select all" button, the import button is enabled and working.

View 2 RepliesI'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.

I need to disable a button after its pressed so the user does not have the ability to click it again as this would replicate the process in some cases. After alot of searching I found some tips - alot of code I found I could not understand.This is what I have come up with:
[code]...
I also read somewhere that I should use: System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) to delay the process or something - not entirely sure why I would do this though.Although, the problem with my above code is that when the code behind page performs validation checks, it exits sub before executing my INSERT SQL code - so when it does this it also disables the button.I am not entirely sure if the above method is fool proof or whether it is a **** piece of code that won't work 100% of the time.On another website I found a script to put on the actual HTML page with <script> tags:

But although this works, it does not execute my VB code in the code behind page so I am a little confused where to go here.

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.
