Interface And Graphics :: Way To Have A Button / Label That Would Change
Jan 11, 2009
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
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?
I am trying to get a label to show briefly (3 seconds) when the form loads. The following code gives the 3 seconds, but the label doesn't show. The label is set to visible in the Designer properties.[code]
I'm a second year A-level student (12th Grade U.S. equivalent) studying Computing, Physics and Maths. I like anime, PC gaming, climbing and mountaineering. That's an insight to who I am. Thought I'd add it here to my first post since I couldn't spot and introductions section.
I am trying to put an image selected by the user into the form background. This means that an image from a specified file destination to be set as background.
[URL] This is for vb6, and I know this is a .net forum, but hopefully some one may know the answer as I have tried countless other places. The buttons appear properly after they are clicked or issued a .refresh command.
Ok..I think it's very simple but I'm still a begineerI'll try to make it clear I need to draw a rectangle when I click on the button..what is the required code?

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?
[code]For some reason I cannot change the color properties for the MonthCalendar control.[code]No matter what I change it to, it stays to its default color of white and black. Actually none of the color options work on any of the sections of the control.I am trying to hide the white border around the control and but a blue bar under the name of the month (top section).I have tried deleting the control and creating it anew on the form but no luck.It was working a couple of weeks ago.
I have got a problem. Here is my problem: I have a CheckListbox and in that checklistbox i insert some checkboxes. But those checkboxes should have different colors dependin on the condition.
I have a listview with a number of items with different color backrounds on each. But when i click on one of the items, the color of the item that the selection has just left turns to white, but it is recognised as being green/blue/whatever. If i open up another form on top of that one, and then close it, the colour comes back for the area that the form was covering.
I have a textbox that changes its backround color based on the color of the listview item currently selected, and that always shows the correct color.
I'v crawled the web and can only find one instance of it happening and that was a graphics accelerator problem, but i cant turn off my accelerator.
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?
This 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 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:
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.?
im making a program that needs to make a new button for each .exe file in a directory? Kinda similar to PortableApps program that will recognize each program in the directory.
how 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 :
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.
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.
When a button is focused by pressing Tab key, a rectangle appears on it. Even if the button's TabStop property is set to false, when the button is clicked with mouse the rectangle appears. Is it possible to stop the rectangle from appearing?
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:
[code]...
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.
How can I set a button, so that when it is pressed, it stays in the pressed down graphic state. Then when pressed again it returns to the normal not-pressed visual.Make a button stay like this until pressed again: url....
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.
drawing text on a window which is not the current form's window.I remember doing this in Win32 api with getwindowdc(handle) to obtain a DC for the Window, then textout() on the DC.
