View 4 RepliesI am having a difficulty in this login form that I have made. The same as the premade template login in VB 2008 which I am using right now.Here's what happens when I run the program Log in form open > Log in successful > Main window appears *The login form still does not disappear.
I tried hiding it via me.hide() Log in form open > log in successful > Main window appears > log in form disappear.*Now the problem is that I cant close the whole application because the login form is still there only hidden. Again I tried putting in the "EXIT" button the code me.close() login.close()Log in form open > log in successful > Main window appears > log in form disappears > Exit application *Now everything seems to be ok now and then I found another problem.Instead of clicking the exit button I tried clicking the X button on the main window. There I found out that it only closes the main window. Therefore not closing the whole application because the login form is still hidden.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make custom ListBox with some graphics. Base is ItemCollection - each item contains Panel, 2x label and 2x picturebox. What each panel have to do:
- Change backcolor on MouseEnter and set color back when MouseLeave occurs.
- On MouseDown(LMB) - Panel stays "selected" - different color.
Problem: I can't access multiple panels at a time(and I need to), just one via sender as in function. Of course, I can do it hacky way, but I want to do it effective and regular. Is ItemCollection the right solution or should I do it just like an array of panels? Also I want them in one "box", ItemCollection is good for it.
Second "problem": I need to make labels "merged" in panels, when i MouseEnter them(labels), background color on that panel sets to my default color. when i MouseClick them(labels), nothing happens (need to "select" parent panel). It can be again fixed with hacky way, just disable labels - but then the colors of labels are unchangeable.
I want to have a go at creating a webcam application, that takes pictures and eventually records video's.This is a purley personal project, its something I have wanted to do for ages. The problem is I am not sure how to start this project. For instance what control can I use on the main user interface to view the picture from the webcam. Also, do I need drivers for the webcam in my code??
I have started the application with the obvious, I have the user interface designed, again not sure what to use for showing video in the UI, would a picture box work??
I'm trying to get a process (wmplayer) started with a maximised main window. I've tried:
Dim VidPROC As System.Diagnostics.Process
Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInfo("wmplayer", "C:MyVideo.mpg")
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized
VidPROC = Process.Start(startInfo)
but the process starts with a standard, small empty mplayer window, NOT maximised. (If I change .Maximised to .Hidden it starts hidden, but seems to ignore it when set to .Maximised).

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a design project where I have to use a Graphical User Interface that contains a drag and drop form. It consists of having a window dropped on a wall.

View 2 RepliesI would like to have two different panels (with associated buttons, textboxes, etc.) on the same location on a form. Is this possible and if so, how do I go about doing it? I need this to control two different boards with the same application.I realize it would be difficult to edit the form if they are on top of each other. Is there a way to place these panels apart while designing/coding, but have them located in the same spot on the form during runtime?
View 13 RepliesI am trying to conduct a research experiment using a psychological measure. Basically its a bunch of words and you need to specify a value for (1-5). So, what I did was take a numericupdwn box and a label and paired them up using a panel. I did the same thing for 19 other sets. I placed each one carefully on the grid, nice and neatly, however I need to randomize the order of how they are arranged.
I spent hours trying to figure out how to set the location point for a panel. But to use variables through a random number generator, is simply too difficult!

I am in the process of creating an all-in-one application for my own purposes. This application has panels with different "Mini-apps" inside of each. Timer, Notepad, Calculator, etc... The top of the application is a drop down menu and each of the drop downs has "Minimize" and "Maximize" for the appropriate application. When the minimize function for a "mini-app" is clicked, then that application is not visible. When maximize is clicked, the the application reappears.What I am attempting to accomplish is that when, for example, the two lower panels are minimized then the form resizes to only show the top two application.Basically, its like rows. If the two bottom are not visible, then the application should resize to fit nicer. An example of this type of application would be Windows Calculator (found in Windows 7 systems and probably other OS).[code]
View 2 RepliesI've created a Form with 1600 Panels. Which are all called Panel (1-1600).
E.g. Panel1, Panel2, Panel500, Panel1000, Panel1600
I want a code so that if you click one of the Panels, the BackColor of the panel you clicked on, turns from Control to Red
I think there is an easier code than just adding this:
Private Sub Panel1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Panel1.Click
If Panel1.BackColor = "Control" Then
Panel1.BackColor = "Red"
Else
Panel1.BackColor = "Control"
End If
End Sub
To every single panel.

View 1 RepliesWhat I need to know is if there is a way to combine forms. What I mean is, that when the program is open there is only 1 item on the toolbar instead of multiple shown on the toolbar. For example, I open the main app. and click on notes. The notes would open another form, but I wouldn't want another item on the toolbar, just the main 1, and if the X is pressed on the second form, it should just close that form, not the whole program. I mainly want this so that all the forms will minimize at once... and won't have the extra clutter of all the forms having a separate item added to the toolbar. So simply, I want 1 main form shown on the toolbar and when multiple forms are opened from the same project, it doesn't add to the toolbar and just keeps the one main tool bar.
View 2 RepliesI have a tool window that I want to stay above the main application form, but not stay on top of all windows forms. Similar to the floating properties window for visual studio - it always stays on top of the main VS window, but if I select another program, like internet explorer, the floating properties window will be behind internet explorer.
What I have is an application that has several forms that may be displayed at the same time. I have a Messages form that displays messages generated by the code in the form, that gives the status of the application. Obviously, the user would not normally be working on this form, but they may want it to be visible to see the status messages from the program (File saved confirmations, etc). So, my two options right now are I can set the form to be on top of all other windows forms or, when the user clicks on the main application form, the messages form would be hidden by the main form.
