Need To Force A Redraw When A Key Is Pressed When It Is Dropped Down
Jul 22, 2010
I am using a DrawItem and MeasureItem events to paint a combobox with a DrawMode of OwnerDrawVariable.Basically, I'm trying to have the user highlight a selection with the mouse, and then press the space bar to toggle the Save status of a song list. Then I call the Me.Refresh() event for the form in an attempt to redraw the form and the ComboBox.The problem that I am running into is that only the Combobox itself (not the drop-down area) that is a control on the main form is redrawing, and the text that is behind the mouse-highlighted selection of the drop-down list is not changing from Red to Black as I believe it should. If I move the mouse to another selection, then the color does in fact update.[code]

I have a component which hooks up with the paint event of assigned control and draws on its surface, Whenever i make any changes to the component i need to resize the form or control at design time in order to see the changes.
I want to ask if there is any other way to refresh the contents of a control at design time which forces it to redraw.

I have a TextBox and set the MiltiLine property to true and AcceptsTab property to false.When the TextBox has focus and i press Tab it works fine and the next control get the focus, but when i press Ctrl+Tab it works as if AcceptsTab property is set to true and makes a tab character into the TextBox.The reason i press Ctrl+Tab.. when switching between forms in my MDI application.Now how to make a Ctrl+Tab when pressed works like Tab when pressed in a MultiLine TextBox?

I'm developing a Component. I'd like to do something when the component is dragged from the toolbox and dropped onto a form. For example display an about box.I don't want to annoy the developer by popping up an about box every time he refreshes his display or reloads the form.

When the Point of Sale program we use makes a change to a row in the SQL database, it automatically updates the ModificationDateTime for that row, and the precision is in milliseconds. I have another column called "LastSyncDateTime, and when theModificationDateTime is greater than the LastSyncDateTime, it downloads the row, finds the column that got changed, does its thing in my program, then updates the LastSyncDateTime with the same value as the ModificationDateTime so it doesn't repeat itself on the same row.The problem is that when it goes back to update the LastSyncDateTime, it loses the milliseconds precision, so the SQL Stored procedure to download new changes doesn't work ("Give me all the rows where ModificationDateTime <> LastSyncDateTime").

I have a PictureBox control (in Form3) that is used is used as a drop box where the user can drag and drop one or more image files at a time. When the user imports files, the form (Form3) will close itself.Meanwhile,the application stores file data in Form1.ListView1.The following is the code that I use for PictureBox's DragDrop event.
'Form3.PictureBox1_DragDrop

Context=VS.NET 2005, windows forms
I have created a custom combo that automatically drops when the combo receives focus. When the user uses the mouse to click on another control or the Windows Form the combo list is undropped but the click on the other control is never fired. Is there a way to avoid what appears to the user as a need to double click?

I am writing a VB program that measures the voltage on a circuit and then graphs the voltage value. I read what the voltage is at ever milisecond and load that value into an array and shift all the data one to the right. On each timer tick i regraph the data.
The problem i am having is on each tick i erase the picturebox then i redraw the graph using the new array. Because of this the further out the line is from the start of the drawing processes the less it shows the line. You get a flicker effect. I have been seeing if there are ways to remove the flicker but the few things i have found have to deal with doublebuffered but i do not think that is the issue here. I think i need to find some other way to clear the picturebox.[code]...

I'm trying to do a little remake of the old game Achtung! Die Kurve, which is a snake-like game, but with multiple players trying to corner eachother until one remains. Don't play it, it's way to addictive, thats why I'm doing the remake now, I want to play it with up to 8 players instead of 6.
Now here's the problem: to draw the snake, I just use the GDI+ and make it draw a 3x3 rectangle on the form background. It works fine, until you resize or minimize/maximize or something like that, which causes a complete repaint of the form. This is not a problem... but when I press ALT or TAB, the form repaints.
And even stranger: it only happens the first time I hit each button. I can make it happen twice by hitting ALT and then TAB or vice versa, after that, nothing. I really don't get it, and its driving me crazy. I dont want a game with a splash screen saying 'First hit alt, then tab to start the game. Not at the same time that makes you leave the game.'

I'm working on an application with multiple forms. On the first form, the user clicks a button and a simple shape is drawn in a picturebox.Depending on which shape is drawn, a value is assigned to a global variable called baseShape. I want that shape to be drawn automatically on the next form when that form is shown. I haven't been able to find any discussion on "passing graphics" from one form to another.[code]...

We are using a ribbon control from a 3rd party that has a bug. When you click on another app, fragments of our software still shows on the screen. The company that makes the ribbon is working on a patch, but I would like to get the app working while we are waiting. how to force windows to repaint the client area behind the form when the form is deactivated?
I've searched and been reading through posts, but most everyone wants to repaint portions of their app. I want windows to redraw what should be there when my app isn't in front anymore.

So essentially, I have this text editor. How can I make it so when I drop a text file over it, it opens it in textbox2? Or when I doubleclick on the file, it automatically opens it in my program (in textbox2).

I have a VB.net web service that returns JSON that works fine. Once the response gets to a certain size though, the client browser says that the server has closed the connection and sent no data. This is true using IE, Chrome, or Firefox. The magic size seems to be about 16383 records, or about 1.13MB of data. I know this is slightly large for a web service.

I have the interesting task of doing some graphs using VB.NET. So far, everything that I´ve been reading about GDI+ and e.graphics whatever is really weird. All I want to do is1) Calculate some coordinates clicking button 12) Click button 2 to draw a line with the numbers from button 13) Click button 1 to get new coordinates5) click button 3 to clear the graph. So I decided to draw everthing on top of a Panel, called panel1. I have a routine that draws on screen called drawlines,
Private Sub drawlines(ByVal g As Graphics, ByVal c As Color)
Dim p As New Pen(c, 1)
g.DrawLine(p, xStart, yStart, xEnd, yEnd)

Here' s my code to draw a single line on a windows form.
Dim myPen As New System.Drawing.Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Red)
Dim formGraphics as System.Drawing.Graphics
formGraphics = Me.CreateGraphics()
formGraphics.DrawLine(myPen, 0, 0, 200, 200)
myPen.Dispose()
formGraphics.Dispose()
I would simply like to erase it now. I've read that the best way to do this is to re-draw the whole form, or to delete the line object..etc..

I have a RectangleShape on a form and certain events that invoke the Paint event for the Shape.But it redraws unwantedly when I drag the form to the taskbar or minimize and then maximize it or press the alt or tab key while the form has focus.I do not want this to happen. I have made sure that no other event fires the RectangleShape's Paint() event.

I am new to VB and I have two detail listviews with one full of items that can be droppedinto the other. I have three groups in Listview1 and I would like different forms to open up based on the group each dropped item belongs to. I was able to open Form2 on drop by adding Form2.Show() at the end of the ListView_DragDrop handler sub, but this opens forevery item and I want different forms to open depending on the ListViewGroup the item belongs to.I set the items and groups in the property windows and not in code; I do not know if this makes a difference. So here is the code I have on Form 1 where the listviews are:Public Class Form1
Private Sub ListView_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _
System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ItemDrag, _
ListView2.ItemDrag

I insert a text box into form1. I move the mouse pointer on top of the text box. I press down on the left mouse button and begin to drag the text box. The problem is when I let go of the mouse button the text box is not dropped. it remain floating around. My only way out of this is to press the escape key which places the text bnox bak to its original location. Thinking that it might be my mouse I tested it in Power point and everything works correctly.

I am writing a Windows service to import data from CSV files dropped into a directory. One of the steps is to load an XML file with validation rules which I load into a List(Of T). It will pull the data, and then I have it pass the list to a class that monitors the folder and processes the files. After that I clear the list and read in the next file configuration. Now I have noticed that the validation rules aren't matching up and it seems that the list is being passed as a reference type even though the signature is of a value type.Is there anything I can do to get around this?
[Code]...
So here when I pass it, at first it will have 3 validation rules in the new ImportService class I created, but when I call fields.Clear(), it wipes out the class member of the ImportService class.

The VB2K8 Express IDE is hanging intermittantly when I click on the form's Design tab. The tab's work area goes blank and a wait cursor appears. I can't switch tabs or do anything else within the IDE at this point. I have to go to the Task Manager, end the VB taskk, and restart the IDE. VB is at SP 1 with .NET 3.5. I have no third party add-ins or controls except for the Visual Basic Power Packs which aren't being used. At this point it is annoying and I haven't lost anything yet but it is happening more frequently over time.

I uses datagridview for show query results from database which may have 0 to x number of rows. So I made calculation to calculate size of underlaying form and my datagridview dependable on number of matched rows. Underlying form is transparent and all of that looks like user control what appears and works just fine. But here is one issue: Every time datagrid have to grow, black square in that area is showed before datagrid is filled, what is not nice and surely unwanted. Did datagridview have some mechanism to freeze it and show data when populating is finished?

I have a DataGridView with a single column that currently displays a short list of items. When the user clicks a button to run an update, each row/cell is read and processing begins. I would like to have the selection idicator move down the rows in the DataGridView as it completes processing of each record. How can I display the iteration of the DataGridView rows while the processing is underway? A redraw of the DataGridView or something.This is a VB.net windows form, I know how to do this with AJAX I think, but how can I in a Windows form?
