In my application I have 4 panels. Each of which have a "mini-app" such as a calculator, sticky notes, etc.My GUI could use improvement so I had an idea of making the Border of a panel glow where if your mouse enters or focuses on the panel or its children the border glows.I have not yet worked with glowing type elements and am not sure how I would do this. I just want the border to glow like the Start button at the bottom left corner of your screen in Windows 7. The start button glows on mouseover and focus. To my knowledge I believe they just use two images, but how did they use the animation for "glow effect"? [code]
I am having two issues with making my Maze Game in VB.NET. I want the levels to be difficult to solve so I am making some *sliding* (NOT MOVING) Panels to interrupt the players.These are my problems:
1. I want the Panel to slide (Sliding Up and then Down, then Up and Down, then Up...) forever, but it doesn't. It will only slide the times I have written the code.
2. I want the MouseEnter event to work when the mouse touches the Panel during the Panel is sliding.
3. Is it right to use a Timer?
Here are some details and the codes which I have used:
I have first made an Integer = 6 for the speed of sliding.The timer is not enabled and started. It will be started and enabled when Button1 is clicked.
When the user clicks Button1, Timer1 starts, which will slide Panel1. (My code is for moving the panel. I need to slide the panel. IT'S WRONG![code].....
I have set a scrollable control's autoscroll to true. What do you do when you don't want a scroll to occur? For example, suppose you have a RichTextBox and a button side by side as below: Notice that "button1" has the focus. If you click on the RichTextBox to give it focus, the scroll bars will scroll until the upper left corner of the RichTextBox is in view. But what if, for whatever reason, you wanted to keep button1 in view? How would you do that?
I am not an advanced VB programmer as I create applications for fun at home, so am hoping someone can help me with this. I would like to add a mouse over glow type effect to a control (doing this on a picturebox at the moment). I did this very simplistically by creating a user control and having a picturebox within a picturebox, one of which is not visible. On the mouse over, I just make it visible and it does look cool as it has rounded edges and all that. But I assume this is not a good technique and really limits you. I would like to do it so I can define the color, glow size, etc... kind of like the glow effect in Flex.
I am trying to improve the graphics of my application by adding a nicer feel of the glow in it. By default when you enter the button, it has the slight blue glow. What I am trying to aim for on the calculator part of my application is to make it "look" as close as possible to the Windows 7 Calculator.
This is the Windows 7 Calculator normally. This next picture shows the "glow" on mouse enter.I don't know where I should start on this. I'm trying to get the yellow glow that shows on there, I can just make a "image" replacement for the mouse enter property but I want it to be animated like the Windows 7 Calculator.
I need to center the red panel in the middle of the dark grey panel, when you resize the form the red panel should be in the middle, and the red panel can't be resize, anyone have a code or property to do this?
Have you ever seen the whitish glow around the titlebar text in Vista? You know, the feathering around the text that makes it stand out from the Aero glass? Well if you haven't, look at the picture in the attachment. Does anyone have an idea as to how I may reproduce it, specifically draw it around some text on the Aero glass? I already know that the Aero glass can be implemented using some APIs in dwmapi.dll. Are APIs for the glow also in that dll? I'm unable to find any info on how to do this in the official documentation.
I need a 'low-coded' way on how to use 'MouseEnter' and 'MouseLeave' event (in Visual Basic 2010) on a Web Browser, but strictly as OBJECT. So I don't need any of those HTML stuff... I just want one small Web Browser to dissapear when I take my mouse off him...
I want to change the default row backcolor when either the MouseHovers over it, or Mouse clicks on the row, then return it to the default color when the mouse leaves.
I'm trying to make an image fade in/out when the user hovers over the button. The fadein works when I enter the button but not when I leave it. How can I make this work?
Animation Code: Private Sub GreenBg_animation() Dim myduration As Duration = New Duration(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(250)) Dim da As DoubleAnimation = New DoubleAnimation da.Duration = myduration Dim sb As Storyboard = New Storyboard [code] .....
Button code: Private Sub btn_2_MouseEnter(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs) Handles btn_2.MouseEnter GreenBg_animation() End Sub
I have text for ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text in a file which is read into an array.
There is an array of PictureBoxes, which are used for the MouseEnter event.
I am trying to display different text in the status when the mouse is over a certain image. In the code below, the Array.IndexOf() generates "Index was outside the bounds of the array.". The commented line will change the text when I change the Index but, it changes it for all images.
I'm trying to make my application become the active window if it currently isn't as soon as the mouse enters the main form of the application (so there is no need to click the title bar of form itself to make the window the currently active one if it's not).
It only sorta/kinda work .... I have to enter the form with the mouse 3-4-5-6-maybe 7 times ... then the window finally becomes the active one.
I know the MouseEnter event is firing each time the mouse enters the app, but the main window isn't becoming active most of the time.
Private Sub frmMain_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.MouseEnter rtbStatus.AppendText("Just got a frmMain.MouseEnter event" & vbCrLf)
I have an array of picture boxes with images. I want the status bar to change when the mouse enters the image. I am stuck on displaying the correct text when the mouse is over a pictureBox.
hr1StatusText is an array of text read from a text file. Everything works but I can't figure how to iterate through the text for the status bar.
The code below works displaying the text for all PB's as long as the index is changed. What I am looking for is to display hr1StatusText(0) for PB(0), hr1StatusText(1) for PB(1), etc.
Public Sub Tile_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.MouseEnter Dim TileMouse As PictureBox = DirectCast(sender, PictureBox) ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text = hr1StatusText(0) End Sub
I want to change the background color of an element when the mouseEnter event fires. How to make the color of the background darker?? I thought I can use an opacity mask, but it's a gradient, but I need it to be solid. Also it has to be in visual basic code, not in xaml.
setting the form opacity programatically in the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events.The problem isn't with the actual events, the problem is that the events occur in places where I don't want it to happen.So in my project, I have a form with 3 user controls in it. The user controls are docked in the form so no actual space from the form is available to the user.
when you enter the form, the form opacity is set to 1. And when left, the form opacity is set to 0.7 .However, what happens right now is obviously that when the user changes the mouse position from one user control to another, the form opacity flickers (turns to 0.7 and back to 1 really fast).
Is there a more efficient/easier way changing the backcolor of a control when it has focus and lost focus? Let's say I've got 10 text boxes. Right now I would have 20 different events...10 for Enter event and 10 for Leave event. Of course, entering would change the back color to "green" and leaving would change it back to "white".
Here is what I've done:1) Created an Excel COM add-in for Excel 20032) Added a NotifyIcon to the Windows taskbar notification area (aka system tray) during ThisAddIn_Startup3) Added a ContextMenuStrip with a ToolStripButton to the NotifyIconWhy is it when I right click on the NotifyIcon, Excel gains focus? If after clicking on the NotifyIcon to display the ContextMenuStrip I choose not select an option on the ContextMenuStrip and instead click back on the Excel window, I get a weird flashing cell in Excel.I've created a video of the problem to help you see what I [url] anyone know how to prevent this? Ideally, I'd like to be able to click back on Excel and only have the ContextMenuStrip close and Excel regain focus.
When i use my UserControl in a project my Mouse Enter & Leave events aren't firing, i assume i fix this with a raiseevents in my usercontrol. However when i try to do this it says something about "cannot raise base event from derived class".
I have two forms in an application. One is he background and then I show another keypad form called with the show() method (not showDialog) because I need to perform some validations on btn click.
The kepad has 10 buttons and an Enter Button. The problem is that the form keeps loosing focus (I checked this with a messagebox which keeps poping up once for focus=true and again for focus=false, it continuously keeps losing and gaining focus) so it does not process any keypress events untill i click somewhere on the form. I tried using me.focus() in form load event but to no avail. The forms TopMost property is also set to true.
I would like to add an effect where a panel sweeps out of the way to make room for another panel. This is sort of like a sliding effect, and I think at one point in time this could be seen on Apple's website under their product pages. I came up with some code, but it isn't working.
When a user is editing a given piece of data, they're allowed to add messages/comments. These are stored as child records in a SQL database. Clicking on the Add Message button brings up a panel (pnlMessage) courtesy of the AJAX ModalPopup Extender. This takes some input and, when the "Send Message" button in the panel is clicked (I learned the hard way to NOT make that the 'OkButton' property), the message is stored in the database and an email is sent to the intended recipients. No problem there.
However, I need to be able to allow the user to add new email addresses (so long as they are registered in our database). I have another ModalPopup / panel combo (pnlSearch) that's tied to a button on the previous panel (pnlMessage).
The user is supposed to be able to add an email or click on a search button to populate a list to choose from.
The pop-up panel (pnlSearch) comes up just fine, but clicking the "Lookup" button (which instigates the search and returns a collection of records that the user is supposed to pick from) closes the panel.
Previously, I ran into the problem of having the Button.Click event never firing when I put the Button into the "OkControlID" property (the CancelControlID works fine since I don't want to do anything). Removing the "OkControlID=Button" line allowed it to work perfectly with the Button.Click event firing as expected.
So now I have the Search panel with a button for "OK" and a button for "Search" - but the panel should stay up and visible after the Search.Click does it's thing. Am I missing some property that basically says "don't close the panel when this button is clicked"? Of course, if I bring up the panel again in the same session, the results from the previous effort are there (the search results).
I have a TopBar, A LeftBar, A VScrollBar, A HScrollBar and a Panel inside a SplitContainer Panel.The issue I'm having is that when my SplitContainer Panel is small enough to enable one of the ScrollBars, I will slide the ScrollBar and then when I resize the Split Panel, my Panel1 is staying where I scrolled it too.I'm having troubles thinking of the correct code to fix this.
