I've added a ribbon bar to the top of my main form using the DotNetBar and the problem is that it shows a black rectangle area instead of the default blue color. This only happens when I am using Windows 7 aero and is not maximized.
View 1 RepliesIm working on in VB.net. Basically I�m trying to create a nice looking control that draws several PNG images (stars in this example) that light up as you hover the cursor over them. This side of things is working perfectly (see picture 1).
[URL]
The problem is trying to make it work using a transparent background for the control. I can make the control transparent by setting the controls back color and using Me.Setstyle to enable transparency support, but every time the image refreshes to show any lit stars it repaints over the stars again � making the shaded areas darker each time. This results in a horrible mess (see picture 2).

Next I tried to clear the background each time a repaint occurs so that the stars are drawn on a blank canvas each time to stop this problem. The only way I know how to do this is to use graphics.clear(Color.Transparent) before my code to paint the star images. But this does not work as the control shows a black background instead of a transparent one (see picture 3)!

away the background to leave me with a transparent canvas to paint images onto? And is anyone smart enough to come up with a solution to this irritating issue?
i have been searching for 2 days on how to color the black grey area on a tabcontrol, i found a few examples but they never worked for me does anyone know how to color this area?Btw this is a webbrowser project
Edit: Ohh and does anyone know how to make a toolstrip combobox automatically resize when the user changes the form size?
I have created tooltips on a form from the toolbox and defined them as owner draw. I tied them to either a panel or a grid and they show up as black boxes the size that would contain the text that is assigned. If I had two areas next to each other, the text shows up. Neither the background or the forground color is black, so the black of the box is not from a color assignment. This has worked at one time and I do not know what changed.

View 3 RepliesSomething happened to my project and it got all messed up. I am not sure what happened, but the form I was working on only shows the code and not the project itself(where you design it). I am working in VB2008 Express Edition and do not wish to start over. What happened to my form?
View 6 RepliesTrying to set the viewable area to a smaller screen area and have it cycle through as the person moves using collision detection to move the backgroudn image. Here is the start but its off to a bad start so far.
Public Class Form1
Dim Mapx As Integer = 600
Dim Mapy As Integer = 2000
[code]....
Basically the forum size is set to 600x2000 but the client should only allow you to view 600x600. I want it to add +1 once you "collide with a invisable box I'll add and this will redraw the screen.
I designed a form and managed to fit graphics inside it. Picture box is 465 pixels high. Form1 is 500 pixels high. SnapShot of the screen verifies that the 500 pixel height is the overal height. It includes the upper Bar and lower frame. Is there an instruction to set the From's inner pixel size and not overal?
View 2 RepliesI guess thats what I need to do, Im trying to allow the user to right click on the top of my form, and my custom Context Menu Strip is displayed, not windows context menu strip. I guess somehow i would need to get the size and draw a rectangle on the non client area and see if the user has right clicked in that rectangle? if so how would I get the area of the non client area?

View 8 RepliesI just installed Microsoft Ribbon for WPF 2010 on 2 different windows 7 boxes. If I make a .net 3.5 project it works fine but a .net 4.0 it does not.I can load the sample ribbon application and it works but when I drag the ribbon controls over they just make a transparent box. I notice it does not make the XAML correct. Here is the code, 4.0 on top then 3.5 below it. Is there some setting or option I need to change?
<ribbon:Ribbon Height="136" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="Ribbon1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="618" />
<ribbon:RibbonGroup Height="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="72,36,0,0" Name="RibbonGroup1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="200" />

View 4 Replieshow to incorporate Ribbon UI into my VB.net form????
View 2 RepliesI have an application that has multiple UI layouts, sometimes on tabs, sometimes the occasional separate form.I recently bought a pack of UI elements, and I'd like to use a ribbon control as the main navigation. For the most part I want the tabs on the ribbon to function like your everyday tabcontrol. The problem is that the ribbon tabs don't each have their own page for you to lay out your controls like the normal tabcontrol does.So right now I have the ribbon control at the top of an MDI form, and instead of using multiple tab pages I have many borderless forms, and when I click on a tab of the ribbon, I maximize the appropriate form and bring it to the front. This creates the illusion of tab pages by eliminating the control boxes of the child forms.
View 3 RepliesI have searched all over the net and found a lot of resources but seems like they are pretty high level for me to understand. I want to use Ribbon in place of tabcontrol. Can anyone here just tell me how to achieve it with an example. if you are referring to somewhere and if it need to add some dll or class do tell me how to do that.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if it is possible to use the WPF Ribbon in windows forms(they added it in .net 4). I know about the ElementHost Control which works fine for created controls, but it doesn't seem to be able to host default controls, I could create a wpf control and put the ribbon in, but that seems like a terrible hack.(And lots of work since there are lots of controls related to the ribbon)

I was wondering if there were any free ribbon controls for vb.net, and if there are not, how I could go about making my own. I don't want to pay $300 or more for a professional one...and I would really like to add one to my project.
