View 2 RepliesSo im makeing class, where i need to change BackColor for part of form..What i meen is, i need to change forms BackColor, but not for all form, but for, example 20px from top..
View 5 RepliesWhen I change the BackColor for a Form, and then add new buttons, they have by default the same BackColor as the Form itself. That does not show on my Windows 7 development computer, but when I use the program on an XP machine, all buttons appear the same color as the form.
I correct this by changing the button's BackColor property to ButtonFace, but it is a pain to do it all the time and some times it gets past me and a wrong color button goes into the application.
Is there a way to change how this works so all buttons are placed with ButtonFace BackColor by default?
How do I clear/reset the BackColor of a windows application form? For instance, I have a set of radio buttons, each one changes the color of the background form color, when i reset the radio buttons i would also like to reset the color of the form back to it's original state?
View 2 RepliesHow can I change a form's backcolor to gradient one. The code (VB.Net) -
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(New Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(New PointF(Me.Width, 0),
New PointF(Me.Width, Me.Height), Color.FromArgb(0, 58, 140),
Color.FromArgb(0, 215, 255)), New RectangleF(0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height))
'fade from left to right
This code changes the form's background to a gradient one. It works fine. Now I want this to take place in an MDI form which will be a container for other forms. If I turn option IsContainer = False then it works but otherwise it does now. How can I change backcolor of MDI Form to a gradient one ?
How do i set the backcolor of the form to a rgb color via script, im making a theme tab, which changes the color, but i want the default color, and i have a custom color that is really close to it, but I dont know how to set to an rgb sadly. or i could use an alternitive by setting the background to the system color control, but I also dont know how to do that.This is what i have so far:
Private
Sub NormalToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NormalToolStripMenuItem.Click

I'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.
I can make the background color of the form transparent by using: "Me.TransparencyKey = Me.BackColor"
"Me.BackColor" is set to default "Control", which I think uses 240;240;240 as the color.But using that color as the transparent mask color leaves gaps in controls who are also using that color.By changing the Me.BackColor to a "rare" color this problem is fixed.What problem really is, is that using the "Control" color I get the ability to ALSO interact with whatever is behind my form, which any other custom color does NOT.
Question: Why is this?
Request: I would like to use a custom color as the transparent color but KEEP the ability to interact with whatever is behind the form, how can I make it do that?
I am in thinking about building a small app. Its indended to be a screen grabber with a difference.The window form is see through by setting the Transparancy and BG properties to equivalant values. The TopMost property of the form is set to true.The concept is that the form is placed over the area of the screen that you would like to capture. As the form is see-through you can adjust the form around the area you would like to capture.Once you have done that, its just a matter of click a toolbar button eigther save it to file or copy to the clipbaord and placed in an image array.
Tipicaly it should have some of the functioning of a digital camera which at your lesure allows to view images seperatly in the array and deside wether to keep them or delete them.What would be the best control to use as the capture control? ie. The form itself or an Picturebox that is also seethrough?If the image carn't be crabbed that way, then it should be possible to read the coordinates of the PictureBox (top,left,width and heigh) relative to the underlying image on the underlying app. Than once the coordinates are known it should be possible to copy that rectangle of the screen?
I created 3 Forms (Form1, Form2 and Form3) and I added a button on every form. This is code for Button1 on Form1:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Form2.BackColor = Color.Red
Form3.BackColor = Color.Red
Me.Hide()
Form2.Show()
End Sub
Code for Button1 on Form2:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Close()
Form3.Show()
End Sub
Code for Button1 on Form3:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Close()
Form2.Show()
End Sub
Now, the problem is that when I click on Button1 on Form3 it shows Form2 but the Form2 BackColor is not red, it is default color, A.K.A Control Color. But I specified in Button1 on Form1 that Form2.BackColor is Red. And also if I click on Button1 on Form2 when Form3 shows it, the Form3 BackColor is also default, it is not red.
I know one way to solve it but it is so not-professional. It is that you add on Button1 on Form2 this:
Form3.BackColor = Color.Red
and on Button1 on Form3 this:
Form2.BackColor = Color.Red
It is ok in this situation but what if I have more stuff, for example if I have an option for changing theme so it has to change all labels and buttons ForeColor, what then, is there any other way?
Well i just tried to turn Rows cells that contain the word Yes into green on form load when i put that code into a button it worked but on a form load i didn't work !

I am trying to change to form backcolor from one colour to another with a time delay of 1 second. I have tried various things without success and this is the best I can come up with:[code]The problem I am getting is the colour is not changing until the loop has finished.
View 3 RepliesI can't remember exactly if this is possible or not but what I am attempting I would think should theoretically be possible. I know it is possible in WPF but the company I am working for doesn't want to make the transition just yet. Basically what I want is to use a background image on a form for the background and I have a docked control on the right and left. I have set the background on both of these docked controls to transparent however it is showing the back color rather than the background image. I tried, rather than setting the background image property, to override the onpaintbackground and onpaint events and use e.graphics.draw(picture, me.clientrectangle) but it still seems to just pick up the backcolor as the true transparent background so I'm wondering if it's possible to get it to show the background image through the control rather than the backcolor of the form?

View 6 RepliesFor some reason, a certain Form in my project will change it's size all on it's own right after I call it. It's usually with small forms in the one I'm having a problem with is 95x25 pixels. The only thing on it is a Label with some text in the middle and this code

As you can see the Form is meant to be a small pop-up that disappears on its own, like a balloon tip. Anyways I just added it to my project 5 minutes ago and as soon as I tested it out by displaying it with Form.Show(), it randomly changed to 123 by something else during runtime. I checked all the Form properties for any kind of resize properties and only found AutoScaleMode which was set on font, but set on None made no difference. Like I said I just added this form and have no code affecting it whatsoever in my entire project except for Form.Show and the code on that form. For the moment I'm just resizing the form on it's own Load event, and that seems to work, but I'd like to know what is causing this random form resize.
I'm trying to make a Form pop up at an random place (given in a textbox). Here is my code so far:

Form2.Visible = True End Sub
Yes i know it doesn't work. What I really need to know is how to make the txt understandable for the system.drawing.point.
I've read numerous posts and threads about random number generation, but I havent' run across this.If I generate a bunch of random numbers, the results are radically different if I create a new Random generator for each number than if I use on Random generator for all the numbers. The results are much more consistent and evenly distributed if I use the same Random generator.I would have thought the opposite,because creating a new Random generator each time should reduce the number of random repetitions, if a different time slice is used to create the random number.[code]......

Is this possible?
The class Random is out right defective. It always produces the same random numbers in the same sequence. Things I have tried so far is every kind of seed you can think of as well as Randomize. The result is that I always get the same random numbers in exactly the same sequence.
View 4 RepliesI am practicing using the drawing commands, and have gotten a grass background and black happy face that moves around the background.It's a 10x10 grid of 50 pixels.I want (at the moment, when i press enter) it to generate a random number of trees (15 ~ 25) at random locations on the background. The program doesn't freak out about anything, and the variables seem to be right (using stop commands) but it's not drawing anything. Here is the code for the "GenerateTrees" command I have for when I press enter.

VS2010 (SP1) / .NET 4 on Windows XP. The question is simple, the answer; not so much. When generating a salt, should the LENGTH of the salt be random, fixed or a random number within a (min/max) range? I am using RNGCryptoServiceProvider to generate the salt, just unsure of the length of the salt.

View 5 RepliesThe company has a Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate project that is written in Visual Basic. The project has several strings in the resources file (Resources.resx). One of those strings (VersionSuffix) contains "" when we are distributing a normal version of our product and "BETA" when we are distributing a beta version of our product. Most of the time we distribute a normal version of our product. Therefore, most of the time the resource string VersionSuffix contains "".
Recently, we attempted to distribute a beta version of our product. Therefore, we changed resource string VersionSuffix from "" to "BETA". However, it quickly became apparent that the resource string VersionSuffix was being used as the default value for several control properties in the form designer. For example, if I draw a rich textbox on a form then file FORMNAME.Designer.vb will contain the following.
Me.RichTextBox1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(286, 306)
Me.RichTextBox1.Name = "RichTextBox1"
Me.RichTextBox1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(134, 33)
Me.RichTextBox1.TabIndex = 32
Me.RichTextBox1.Text = Global.PROJECTNAME.My.Resources.Resources.VersionSuffix
We are unable to find anything anywhere that indicates that this resource string should be used as the default value for control properties. Therefore, we have no idea why this resource string is being used for this purpose. We would like to change the control property assignments in the designer from Me.RichTextBox1.Text = Global.PROJECTNAME.My.Resources.Resources.VersionSuffix
Me.RichTextBox1.Text = "" However, we don't know why these strange assignments are being made. Therefore, as soon as someone adds another control the problem will most likely return. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to prevent it from happening again?
