View 2 RepliesI'm new to VB 2008 and was wondering how to apply 2 toned back color to my datagridview column headers or listviews. Where the color is lighter at the top of the column header and then becomes darker towards the bottom of the column header. It seems most apps use them these days.
View 1 RepliesI am developing a project using VB2010. In the attached example I created a Form.
On tha form I put a GroupBox Containing a DataGridView.
I am trying to set, at Design time, the ColumnHeadersDefaultCellstyle Font of the grid, defining the Font, the size and the style (Bold). After saving the project or running it, The Font properties of the grid headers are changed to the Font properties of the containing
GroupBox.
Why is that so? How can I set, at Design Time, a different font for the Grid Column headers and the GroupBox?
To demostrate the problm - Try to modify the Font of the grid headers, in the attached example,
to "Bold" "Size 12", Run the application and see the result.
I downloaded Visual Basic 2010 Express and got familiar with it over several days but the following issues are stumping me:
Where are the art instructions to be found? The ones featured in the examples are pretty basic. I've looked all over but can't find anything.
I need to display a list with 2 columns and "n" rows (first column will be an IP address and second column the status - say connected, failed, etc).The case is that I need to be able to SET and GET the value of a certain cell. For instances, if the user click the first row of the list (row 0), I want to be able to get what is the intersection 0,0 (IP of first row) and intersection 1,0 (status of first row) and so on.I am trying Listview and Datagridview with no success.

datBrakePointsX.Rows.Add(strA)
produces the error 'Rows cannot be programatically added to the DataGridView's rows collection when the control is databound.'
To my knowledge, this is an empty grid. I am adding data manually and the code below works if I remove the line. The problem is I need to add the next line.
Private Sub cmdAddX_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdAddX.Click

I have a panel that has a BackgroundImage set to "zoom". Because of this, the image usually has some grey "letterboxing" showing the panel beneath the BackgroundImage. I want to paint on the Graphics Object of the Panel using its paint event handler. Is there a way to contrain my painting to just the image part of the panel? Is there a way to find the rectangle that the BackgroundImage is occupying within the panel?
P.S. I don't want to make a graphics object from the BackgroundImage because I'm already using that for some other "paint layers".
I have a standard DataGridView. One of the columns is a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn. When I select one of the ComboBox items, I want to trap the change and add additional columns based on the item selected in the ComboBox. I've tried using CellValueChanged for the DataGridView column, and a bunch of other events, but none of them is fired when the DataGridViewComboBox value is changed. What event can I trap to make this happen?

I'm writing a simple paint program in VB 2008 that allows the user to create rectangles using MouseDown event to anchor one corner, MouseMove to stretch (or grow) the rectangle, then MouseUp event to complete the rectangle.The last statement in the MouseDown event is Me.Invalidate() to trigger the form's paint event where all the rectangles are drawn (refreshed).
View 1 RepliesI have created a custom ToolStripProgressBar. It is basically a class inherited from ToolStripStatusLabel, and i paint the 'progress' bar myself (just a simple rectangle). I have tried creating a custom ToolStripProgressBar using different methods including inheriting from both ProgressBar, ToolStripProgressBar and ToolStripControlHost. I always ran into difficulties doing in this way. Inheriting from ToolStripStatusLabel works well, but with one issue...
In order to have the progress bar update in the statusbar, i have to call StatusStrip.Refresh. Trouble is, adds a huge overhead to the drawing of the progress bar graphics. Simply calling the invalidate method of my ToolStripStatusLabel does not seem to render anything to the screen. how to have my graphics draw without calling the refresh method?
Im working on a project that needs to print a report of one client.Everything went smooth untill i came across my multiline input text data.When i display it in the PrintPagePreview the text go's outside my page. Even when im printing it only the halve of my text is displayed. I googled and looked everywhere but i can't get a clear fix for it.

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.

View 3 RepliesI'm working on a design project where I have to use a Graphical User Interface that contains a drag and drop form. It consists of having a window dropped on a wall. Both of them are images to scale. I would like to know what kind of code I would have to use to show the x and y coordinates of one of the points of my window when dragged so when I drop it, I'm dropping in it on the desired coordinate of the wall.

View 13 RepliesUsing graphics paths for designing...but am getting an error when trying to add a shape to : _shapelist.add(createshape())
It says : Value of type 'system.drawing.drawing2d.graphicspath' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of system.drawing.drawing2d.graphicspath'
I was wondering if I could elicit some tips on how to procede with an interface design approach.That is. What is a good way to go about establishing a "work area" where one can have multiple "floating forms" in this area.Can you have a form which occupies the entire windows desk top and the other forms "float" in this space? the "floating" forms would need to interact with each other where pressing buttons etc on them would affect other forms on the "workspace") Or what would be a good way to start accomplishing that? Or is there a better way to get the same effect?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a .dll that contains a lot of basic functionality that a program can use. Currently i am trying to use interfaces to make a lot of this functionallity independend of the program using it but i hit a snag. The Basic idea is that a programmer will create his own object using the interface discribed in my .DLL file. Then implements those functions as he likes. He can then instanciate a controller (found in the same DLL) and sends his custom object implementing the interface to that Controller. The controller can then be started and will take over all the work. I do not know what type of object is send to the controller and idealy i want to program it in such a fashion that i shouldn't care as long as the object send implements that interface.In code I am trying to achieve the following: (quite simplyfied)
.Dll:
Code:
Public Interface MyInterface '<----Decleration of the interfaceFunction GetData() As Integer
Function SetData(Data As Integer)
end interface
[code]....
this propperly. I know that the second i set the interface adaptor in the Controller VS comes nagging that it can not be converted to a "MyInterface" Class. Obviously i am doing something wrong. I can change the datatype that the controller expects to the "MyController" type but that would completely ruin the whole idea of flexibillity. I am hoping someone sees what i am trying to do and can point out where i made the thinking error.
Is this where i would post a picture of my interface and get feedback on changes for easier use? If not is there someplace on this forum or any other forum to do this?
View 1 RepliesSo I decided to make my famous tile selector project, but instead of drawing in a form's graphics, do it inside a tabpage.Well, I managed to get it working, but it seems to... flicker.Normally, setting the form's DoubleBuffered property to True would help a lot there, but apparently, the tabpage has no such property.
When I invalidate the tabpage, I draw two images and fill one rectangle.Following past advice, those two images were created before, just once, and are stored in a variable so I don't create them every time I invalidate the tabpage.
Ok I have this: This makes a sub called 'graphicspaint' then writes "demo version" to a picturebox1
