Making A Winform Button Look Pressed From Code Behind?
Nov 3, 2009
I've got a basic VB.net 2.0 application together in VisualStudio 2005. Within a form, I've tied [enter] in several text boxes to a button. What I'd like to do is "press" the button from getField_KeyDown() to give the user a visual indication of what's happening.With the code below, the button click work is done but the button's look doesn't change and the user is left without feedback.
Private Sub getField_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txtGetKey.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
e.Handled = True
Call btnGet.PerformClick()
End If
End Sub
How can I make the button looked pressed while the btnGet.PerformClick() work is being done?
I have a binding navigator in my project and it works just fine.My question is where, if at all, can I find the code that is run when the delete button on the navigator is pressed.My reason for wanting to know this is I want to be able to give the user a second chance when the delete button is pressed.I want to ask the user if they are sure that they want to delete the record by using a msgbox.If the user says yes I will delete if they say no then I do not want the record deleted.I tried putting logic in the BindingNavigator DeleteItem_Click but was not successful.
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....
I want to find the "select" query in the code behind of a button in a winform LogOn form.I have the source code of one big solution which includes 15 projects. There's 1 project with all the UI that I can run and start my debugging. During the debug process, I click log on button there's a line of code where I want to step through which it's calling a diffrent project in the same solution to validate the username and password. But it doesn't allow me to step into that project to validate the data. It just goes right through it and the username and password pass validation right after that line of code.
I have a button on my form where I'm showing a ContextMenu when the user left clicks on it, I'm actually using MouseUp right now to show it.What I would like to have happen is the user click on the button, the button stays pressed while the ContextMenu shows, it returns to normal when the ContextMenu closes (Either a menu item was selected, the user hits the escape key or they click/tab to somewhere else). Also I'd like to position the ContextMenu in the lower left corner if the menu opens down or the top left corner if it opens up. So the left edge of the ContextMenu is flush with the left edge of the button.Moreso the button staying pressed until the ContextMenu is closed.
Edit: I'm also ok with this being it's own control inheriting the FW's Button that used the assigned ContextMenu as well.
I just want a program compiled in Visual Basic 2008. which can just submit a form of only one field. the form is already uploaded to the server but i don't want to go to that url every time to do so.What I want here, just to open application and fill that field and submit. Is this possible in visual basic 2008?Also let me know how to create a button that can rapidly submit the form repeatly untill the second button named cancel is pressed. field name of that form is "msisdn" and the action on submit button is post method and url in target is url...
I am writing an application and I want to be able to have it check for updates. When someone presses a button. (Note: I am using Visual Studio 2010, and the application is in VB.NET 4.0)
Is there a *simple* syntax that will close a form when a button is pressed and leave the application completely if there is only one form? In vb6 it is, e.g. Private Sub Command2_Click() Unload(me) End Sub I have got as far as knowing its Button2_Click...
I tried your code and got it to work - put buttons on my form, etc. I included the AddHandler for each btnNew(index):
Public Class ButtonAdd Private btnNew(9) As System.Windows.Forms.Button Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
I have a button on a form, and I want to increment a counter an display it in a lable, while the buttion is pressed. Similiar to a numberic up down control. The reason is that I want to use a custom looking button, rather than the look of the numeric up down control.
Is there an easy way to do that while the button is being pressed? Or would it make sense to change the look of the numberic up down (I don't want UP and DOWN on the same control, though).
When I press a button on my form i need it to open a file. E.g. I want it to open a song (in windows media player, windows media player is the default program to open mp3's) Shell("C:UsersTomDesktopmysong.mp3") When trying the above ^ it just says file cannot be found.
I'm developing a interface in VB.net which will control two stepper motors. Counting on your tips I managed to control them manually I mean, there're 4 buttons used to move the motors clockwise and anti-clockwise. The point is, the main part of our project is control the motors automatically. Our idea is based on two editable fields, X and Y, where the user would insert the displacement value he'd like the motor to move. After filling up both fields, the "GO" buttons would be pressed. So the loop would run depending on the displacement values in X and Y.
Attached you can find the main screen:
Below you can find the main code.
Public Class Form3 Dim velocidade As Double = 0.004 Dim X As Integer = 0
Im looking for guidance/example on how to track if a button was pressed so that I can turn on another button and turn off the first button. I am saving a bunch of user data to a text file & that works fine. Once the user enters all of the required data, I turn on button "btnCBSave". What I am trying to accomplish is once button "btnCBSave" has been pressed once, turn itself off and make button "btnCBNew" visable so that the user can enter new data.
On an form i have few labels, upon clicking on that labels i want to display an another form which contains 3 textboxes(Default,Current,New) and 3 buttons(Default,Current,new). I need to save the values of all the textboxes to the label's tag, but the label's text will contain the value of the textbox based upon the button which is pressed. i.e if 'Default' button is pressed then the 'Default' textbox text should be the label's text. I have created a class with three mem. variables to the save these class objects in the labels tag. But how should i know which button was pressed.
I am presently working with winforms and I would like to add facebook like button to my winforms.So at present I have downloaded facebook developer toolkit and after that I am trying to add the like button.So I would like to know how to proceed further to achieve in adding the like button.
I want to select a button("Exit") on the ToolStrip after pressing a button ("ButtonFocus To Exit") outside the toolstrip. I used ExitToolStripButton.Select() on ButtonFocusToExit.Click but which seems like its selecting the button ("Exit") but when i pressed enter it never execute the code in "ExitToolStripButton_Click" .
So the button is still not active. Can anyone have fix to it?
I have a WinForms group box that needs to be sized programmatically. Everything else is working well but I am having trouble with the below line of code because as the form is re-sized larger the group box grows over the buttons that are underneath. I am looking for a way in code so that the group box grows with the form, but no so large that it grows over the button underneath it.
I have a simple windows application that pops up an input box for users to enter in a date to do searches.
How do I identify if the user clicked on the Cancel button, or merely pressed OK without entering any data as both appear to return the same value? I have found some examples of handling this in VB 6 but none of them really function in the .NET world.
Ideally I would like to know how to handle the empty OK and the Cancel seperately, but I would be totally ok with just a good way to handle the cancel.
