Making Own Simple Custom Button?
Jun 9, 2011
Introduction[INDENT]Since this is my first thread in VB.NET forum(most of the time, I was in C/C++ forum), I want to share something that you might find it useful with your school project or with your works.Button is already a MUST-HAVE element in every program (I couldn't imagine program without a single button would function). Because it is everywhere, its appearance affects your form's appearance greatly. Some people might not care about how their software looks, but to me, it is a very important aspect for my software.
NOTE: I am pretty new to VB.NET myself. If there is any mistake, please correct me.

Step 1: Creating UserControl and Essential Properties[INDENT]Creating UserControl into your project. Then imports the following:
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Because UserControl already has BackColor and ForeColor properties, you only need to construct Text and BorderColor properties
Private _BorderColor As Color '' Button Border Color
Public Property BorderColor() As Color
Get

The login box is the first box to appear, but after I successfully enter the right username/pass combo it goes to the next form, but the login form stays open as well? I've tried doing this:
Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click
Dim username As String
Dim password As String
[code]....
However, after I click Login it closes down both windows. I've also tried LoginForm.Close() but that comes up with an error.

I've created a user control with a simple text box and a corresponding label and added a few custom control properties. When added to a form, I'm trying to loop through all control of this type and evaluate the custom property. In the below, the cntl.MyCustomProperty is not recognized. I can evaluate the property when I check each user control on the form by name, but not by using the loop below. I would much rather use the loop as it is much cleaner.
For Each cntl As Control In Me.Controls
If (TypeOf cntl Is MyUserControl) And cntl.MyCustomProperty = "ABC" Then
''Do some stuff
End If
Next

I am experimenting with CUSTOM CONTROLS for the very first time. What I did so far: I've created a new Windows Control Library project. In there I simply resized the custom control area (made it very wide and only 50 high). I added a pictureBox on the very left, a Label1 with Large text on the right and 2 other labels underneath Label1 on the left and right.Further I've set MOUSE HOVER effects, "Yellow" for MoudeEnter and "White" for MouseLeave.
In a Windows Form application I add this control over and over again into a Panel1 (DockStyle TOP) for each jpg file found in "My Pictures". The PictureBox in My custom control has the Thumbnail of the real picture, the Label1 shows the name of the file.
All this worked out better than I expected for my very first CUSTOM CONTROL, however, there is still 1 thing I would like it to do: being 'selected' when I click on one of the CUSTOM CONTROLS in my Panel1. Does anyone know how to do that? If I set a BackGroundColor change on MouseClick in my custom control, then it surely would change the color, however, it would stay that way even if I click on the next custom control in my Panel1 .(Listing SPEC's is not a review !

Is this only done in VB by making a custom control?

I'd like to make a custom control that allows the end user to format the text, similar to an HTML or RichText control. The idea is that it will be static like a label, but allow end user to specify certain tags around words to make them bold, italic, underline, hyperlink, etc, either at design time or runtime. My question more specifically is how to best approach this. My intention is to use GDI+ methods, like DrawString, etc. But my concern is the inefficiency of having to parse the text each Paint cycle to determine which tags are present in order to use the correct font style, etc. I'm not really asking HOW to do this, but more of a hint on which architectural approach to take on this. Maybe there is already some examples of this out there?

I'm trying to do the very basic add "hello" to a button. The instructions tell you to click on the button the tutorials say the code that is supposed to show starts with "public class form1" but when I double click the button it seems to open the whole code of the template, not the button. (and no where in the code shows the "private sub button1_click")

I haven't touched VB or Visual Studio in an incredibly long time, so I appologize if this sounds ignorant.
Right now, my application (pictured below) is a simple button that executes a shell command. I was thrilled that I even managed that, but it got me to wondering if my application could execute that command, rather than sending the process to cmd.exe.

When executing a click event on a button is there a way to know if a user has clicked or if code has executed it by a performClick in the sub that handles the click event. Maybe a change in the sender?

I have these three images that I have drawn to my form.
GraphicsBuffer.DrawImage(ButtonEasy, New Rectangle(25, 330, 100, 50), 0, 0, 100, 50, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, ImageAttributes)
GraphicsBuffer.DrawImage(ButtonMedium, New Rectangle(150, 330, 100, 50), 0, 0, 100, 50, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, ImageAttributes)
GraphicsBuffer.DrawImage(ButtonHard, New Rectangle(275, 330, 100, 50), 0, 0, 100, 50, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, ImageAttributes)
But I want to make a Boolean expression for when they are clicked so I can trigger the events to load the game mode selected.
Do I do this through resource code or is there a simply way to do this. My idea seems like it would be bad and not syntaxically correct.
Edit: I've gotten to this:
Private Sub ButtonEasy_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) _
Handles ButtonEasy.MouseClick
