I am having some trouble getting my menu bar to not scroll down my application when I scroll down. Is there a way I can I guess dock it to the top where the close button and the maximize/minimize button is so that when I scroll down you can still see and get to it instead of having to scroll back tot he top of the application?

View 13 RepliesAfter scouring the articles online I have come up with this design for a winforms based touchscreen app that needs smartphone like scrolling. The app itself will run on a tablet laptop or touchscreen desktop.I put everything I want to scroll on a panel. Set autoscroll to true (which will show scrollbars)Now put this whole panel inside a groupbox.Shrink the groupbox until the scrollbars are hidden (visually hidden, not visible = false)
Now the fun part I am stuck at.I think I have to handle the mousedown, mouseup & mousemove on the panel to set the autoscrollposition so that when someone touches the panel and drags, it does it's scroll magic. Please help fill in the few lines of code in below method stubs. The msdn doc on autoscrollposition is very confusing since it returns negative numbers but needs to be set to positive with abs and what not.

I made an application where i used mouse scrool event. On my PC everyting work excellent, but when I try it on different machine scrolling is not detected!? How is that possible?i am using e.delta < 0 and e.delta > 0
View 3 RepliesI've been trying several methods to simulate a scrolling news ticker on an application. There is a lot of activity within the program, so I need to keep the ticker on a seperate thread.I have made a timer which when a tick is hit (in this case, every 100ms), executes a sub which removes one character from a label to simulate the ticker. This works quite well, although when the program does something else the ticker freezes up momentarily. I am wondering if someone could give me some advice on the best way to eliminate these freeze ups? How could I execute a new thread every 100ms to move the ticker? I was thinking of somehow using a threadpool for each time the a tick is hit on the timer, but I'm not sure how, or even if this can be accomplished.

I have an application that I'm creating that uses VB6 for the maintenance programs, and visual studio 2005 to create the reports. At work we use reporting services to host the reports, but in my application I want to run the report from a menu within the application, not in reporting services. (A) Is this possible? I think I've read about a report viewer that can be embedded into .net applications. If I create a menu system in .net, that shells to execute the maintenance programs that are from vb6, or fires off the report viewer, does this sound feasible? The application is supposed to run connected to their SQL 2005 server via a VPN; I get blank looks when I ask them if they have reporting services installed...
View 9 Replieshow can i add a menu to my application when its sitting on the right bottom of the taskbar beside msn.

GAlwaysIdle is a windows application which will add a menu item to Gtalk context menu.
How can I do this to an application using vb.net or c#.net?
I want to create an application, that has a menu. Every menu option represents an action a user can choose. For some actions the user has to input a date and a string. For others the user has to choose from a list, and then some results are presented in a datagridview depending on his selection. Some actions mean that the user has to check some check boxes. etc. So there are quite a few controls needed in this application, and they cannot all be on the screen in the same time (obviously).I don't know how to design this:
-should I make a single form with all the needed controls in it and depending on the action the user selects some become visible and some hidden?
-should I design a form for every action he chooses and the forms become visible or hidden depending on the action the user chooses?

I'm running into this one very specific issue:
- I have a VB.Net 2005 Project for which I've created a Setup Project.
- In my Setup Project, I've added a shortcut on my Start Menu, that points to my Application.
- After deploying it, all works great.
- One of my users chooses to *copy* the shortcut from the Start Menu into their Desktop.
- I then create an upgrade for this Application. Again, the deployment works great. They can start my application from the Start menu.
- They double-click on their icon in the Desktop and they get a popup: Title of the message box: Problem with Shortcut Description of the message box: (X) The parameter is incorrect.
The shortcut's Target, is blank ( which I believe is the problem ).I'd love to be able to specify an actual [TARGETDIR]myApp.exe type of string as the shortcut's target in my Setup Project, but I can't do this.Instead I have to point it via UI, to my Target Application ( which I'm assuming is resolved at install-time ). The problem with this is that it appears that the shortcuts get re-evaluated every time you re-install / upgrade the application. Since my previous version is technically not installed anymore, my shortcut gets invalidaded, even though the target path is still the same and I haven't changed my executable's file name.
Ive been learning to use visual basic doing this and i know the code needs clearing up but i made an app that is storring values in an mdf mysql datatable. I made the app so you will direct it to a database through a menu where you select the file.. This works allright on my machine but..When i put it on another machine with .net 4.0 installed it still complains about Mysql problems..So im guessing theres a part missing. Is there something i need to install on the other computer using my app?.
If so what?. Maybe theres another way i can connect to a database without haveing to install stuff on other computers to make it work?.

current version is 2008 I'm trying to build an application with a simple MENU. When the user clicks on a Menu Item i want the container to show some controls, now when the user clicks another Menu Item, the container needs to change and show other controls, and so on with every menu Item the user clicks, one at a time.
I thought of panels showing and hiding for every menu Item clicking, but that would use a lot of memory as ALL the controls would be created, some of them just not showing. I also though of an MDI application, but i dont want multiple forms (with the menu bar) opening inside one form. I just want the actual container of one form to change.
I publish a VisualBasic 2008 windows application, from the Build menu,but when I install it by running the installation's setup.exe, an unusual popup window showing Windows connected to the Internet pops momentarily, and then the application opens and runs.But the application's .exe is not in Start > Programs, or on the desktop, or anywhere.Publishing and installation worked perfectly a few weeks ago.
