View 6 RepliesInterface And Graphics :: Control Resize Begin And End
Dec 27, 2009How to implement resize begin and end on controls the way a Form does. I had the idea that this can be accomplished using windows messages API (WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE and WM_EXITSIZEMOVE) but most of the samples I've seen so far are for windows. The reason for this is because I have a control that needs to re-render an image. The controll is inside a split container. The split container has only the Resize event. Is there any way this can be done?

Dec 8, 2009I'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.

Jan 7, 2010I downloaded the custom made OvalShape control for Visual Studio 2005, and I really like it. One problem I have, is that I would like to have a label docked inside the Oval, as if it was a Panel or a GroupBox or pretty much any other control. With the other controls it does this automatically when I move the control inside them, but when I move the label inside the Oval, it won't "stick" to it. The OvalShape will move around and change size quite a lot in my app, so it would be nice ot to have to add a snippet of code after every movement of the OvalShape.

View 5 RepliesInterface 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?

Dec 16, 2011I am re-writing my old VB6 DXF viewer control in VB.NET Winforms. Attached is a picture of my testbed app. As we only need it to check parts that have been created to generate gcode for our laser it is limited to Points, Lines, Arcs, And Circles. It has Point, EndPoint, Centers, and Intersections snaps for all entities and combinations of entities. Measured output is displayed as Actual Point to Point plus Horizontal and vertical delta. Zoom Extents, Zoom Window, Pan and Mouse Wheel Zoom are fully functional. The last took a while to develop as I wanted the Zoom to be centered about the cursor position just as it is in Acad.

Apr 18, 2011Is it possible to get the MouseWheel event from an Interoped ActiveX Control?
I have a DXF Viewer (with measure) control I wrote in VB6 that is quite frankly... Huge. It would take an inordinate amount of time to rewrite the whole thing and supporting tools in VB.NET. The MouseWheel event is used to Zoom in and Out. The control has a MouseWheel_Input() method to accept MouseWheel data from the host.
I added all the VB6 Mouse events, the Enabled Property, and The ActiveControl Property in VB6. Recompiled and registered the control on my VB.NET development machine. Added the control to my new VB.NET project and verified it has a focus method.

View 1 RepliesInterface And Graphics :: Use A Treeview Control To Separate Them Into Sophomore?
Aug 12, 2010I have a list of about 150 students that I would like to organize. I need the user to be able to select individual students, and I was hoping to use a treeview control to separate them into Sophomore, Junior, Senior(No freshmen) so that way it is easier to locate a single member.
My problem with this plan is that checkboxes are beside both the root and the child nodes and I only want the user to be able to select the individual students. So my question is is there a way to only put checkboxes beside the students or is there another control that can achieve the same effect?
Interface And Graphics :: VB ListBox Control Display Names?
Dec 20, 2010I 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 - Add Late Bind Control To Form Dynamically
Oct 14, 2010Using VB 2008. We have an app with a third party grid on it works well enough. This is a small utility within a bigger suite, and adding/updating it involves a simple EXE copy. The issue I am trying to address is that not all customers will have the 3rd party controls on their systems, and we want to avoid deploying them if we can.
Can I build the app so that if the controls are present, the app uses them. But if they are not present, I use a simpler control? I picture using a 'launcher' form that tries to load Form2 with 3rd party. if it errors, then just load Form3 with common controls. But can I even get to that point? With missing controls, will the app even load? I understand Late Binding for objects, but this is a control right on the form. Can I late bind a control and add it to form dynamically perhaps?

View 1 RepliesInterface And Graphics :: Inherited From TextBox And Auto-validating Control?
Nov 16, 2011I frequently use TextBoxes that expect date values. I do a tedious job every time to handle the Validating event. The Validation event ensures that the value is a valid date value according to the current thread's Calendar, and if so, formats the date to "dd-MM-yyyy".
I want a TextBox (e.g. DateTextBox) that automatically runs validation and formats its Text property. All I have to do is dropping it to the form.
I know I should use inheritance; but I do not know where to put the auto-validation code; and I do not know how to save the inherited class as a control in the ToolBox.
Interface And Graphics :: User Contols Contain Webbrowsers That Autorefresh Every 15 Sec (not Under My Control)
Aug 29, 2011I am developing an app that has a treeview on the left in panel1 of a split container. When you click in a node it loads a user control into a tabcontrol that is in panel2. Some of the user contols contain webbrowsers that autorefresh every 15 sec (not under my control). I can successfully remove a tab by a contextmenu but I can still hear the clicking sound of the webbrowsers refreshing. Not sure what to do to completely remove the usercontrol. Treeview control code for one node: there rest are basically the same
Code:
Dim tabcount As Integer
tabcount = TabControlMain.TabCount
[CODE]...
Code to remove a tab and all tabs:
Code:
Private Sub RemoveToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RemoveToolStripMenuItem.Click
TabControlMain.Controls.Remove(TabControlMain.SelectedTab)
[CODE]...
I also originally had this setup to work without the tabcontrol and just load the usercontrol into panel2 of the split container. Each time a new node was selected from the treeview I would have SplitContainer1.Panel2.Controls.Clear() to remove the current usercontrol. I would still hear the clicking of the old usercontrol.
Interface And Graphics :: Creating Outlook Style Navigation User Control?
Feb 3, 2010I believe that this is in the correct forum due to it being about creating an interface item, but if I am wrong then let me know and I'll try and bring this thread to the attention of the mods to be moved to a more appropriate forum. I am currently trying to create a generic navigation control with a similar style to the outlook navigation bar. I have figured out how I would be able to dynamically create the bottom part where you select the menu option, but I'm struggling to figure out how I would be able to create the top part, which can contain any user control that the developer would want.
So basically what I'm trying to figure out is, is there a way to allow for a developer to add controls to a specific area of your user control?If there is a way of achieving that then if anyone knows how to do this;In ASP.Net you have the login controls and with one of them, you are able to have different views depending on whether the user who is viewing the web page is logged in or not. Is there a way of achieving this in VB.Net for a user control that could be set up so that I could have the developer able to switch the view in the designer to show them the view for when a specific navigation option has been selected.
The one thing that I have thought of that could possibly cause a problem is having the capability of knowing when one of the user controls has been clicked, while I haven't figured this out exactly, I believe I should be able to achieve this by having an event for the navigation user control that provides the developer a reference to the control.
While I would hope that I have explained what I'm thinking well, its before my first coffee of the morning so I might have missed out some detail which would help someone to help me if I have then please let me know and I'll provide any details required.Also if what I'm envisioning is Pie in the sky, then let me know and I'll just have to make a base which I would just have to make a more bespoke system.
