Is there a way to enable a default pan behavior in the .Net scrollable control when you press down on the center scroll button, or Is that a behavior you have to implement yourself? You know like in some programs where you press down on the center button and it give you an arrow cursor that pans whichever direction you move the mouse?
View 1 RepliesI created a custom control and I'm trying to insert it into a panel, but also center it.The control itself is larger than the panel, so I've set the AutoScroll property of the panel to True. I think that might be affecting it. Perhaps I should just offset the Y axis a bit.But, either way, this is what I'm trying:
VB .NET
'Create the control
Dim AutomationReport As New AutomationReportControl
[code]....
It works just fine with the X axis, but the control is out of bounds vertically. About 1-2 inches of the top is cut off.
i want to write text on trasparent scrollable control.I try to use label (that accepts trasparent backcolor), but it doesn't have scrollbarIf i use textbox, it has a scrollbar , but not trasparen backcolor.So what control can i use? There something to do this?
View 6 RepliesI am just getting back into VB.NET, and I need to ask a question. I am doing a project for a class which requires iterating through 360 items in a scrollable control that will pause every so often. I am thinking I might use either a ListView or GridView, but I am not sure if this is the right way to go or if I need to use a different control all together.
View 3 RepliesI'm having a tough time implementing my own custom control that makes use of scrollbars if needed. The whole control itself would not be scrollable and only some portions of the custom paining would be scrolled, so the AutoScrolling capabilities of ScrollableControl would not work for me. But, I'm having an extremely difficult time in implementing a professional looking solution, where as the control gets resized, the scrollbars resize proportionality to be able to show a specified area.

I was writing an application that draws a bunch of random lines on a form with the mouse move event. I set the windows start position property of the form to center screen, but no matter what I did the form would appear in the windows default position. After around 30 minutes of cutting code and trying to paste it into new projects, it still wouldn't center the form. I finally gave up trying to center the form by setting the form property, so I changed it to manual and wrote code that centered the form horizontally, and around 50 pixels from the top edge and the code worked. Has any one else had this experience with VS 2005 proffesional?It was really bugging me for some reason.

For example I have Form 1 with 1 button, if I press that button a small form will pop out (This form is smaller than form 1, lets call it form 2). My problem is I want that if I press the button in form 1 it will show form 2 then adjusting the size of it and centering it.
I coded the Form 1 that it will send a string Extra_Background_Form.Label1.Text = "a" to form 2 then it will load form 2
totality of code in form 1:
Extra_Background_Form.Label1.Text = "a"
Extra_Background_Form.Show()

Basically, I have a program that uses up one Monitor (With maximize/minimize/etc options), and I'm going to develop another window that by default, you'll have to swap to. But, if there are two or more monitors detected, throw the 2nd form on the 2nd monitor.
I have found a way to detect multiple monitors (Using the SystemInformation Class to return the monitor count), but it's placing the form on the other monitor that's the problem.
I have a project that calls for just a ton of forms and I'd like them all centered on screen. Any way to call this in a module? Just trying to minimize the code necessary for each form. This is the basic centering I use now, only it's in each form_load.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim xLoc As Integer = (Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width - Me.Width) 2
Dim yLoc As Integer = (Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height - Me.Height) 2
Me.Location = New Point(xLoc, yLoc)
End Sub

View 1 RepliesI am currently developing a simple menu application that has a control array of buttons and I am having a hard time with re-sizing the form and centering the buttons. These buttons are created at compile time (with parameters from an INI file) and my current centering algorithm seems to slightly set them to the right. I am using the "button.location = new Point(...,...)" method but after reading about this it says the values locate the buttons left upper corner rather than center, thus accounting for the slight offset to the right.
My two questions are this:
How can I perfectly center these buttons at compile time? I have tried accounting for the difference by subtracting half of the button's width but the button width and point properties seem to be incompatible and the button gets heavily offset.
And... my other goal for re-sizing the menu is to have the buttons perfectly expand and contract when being re-sized. It seems as though anchoring is ineffective when the buttons are created dynamically so I have been forced to write ratio algorithms... Is there a way to get anchoring to work?
Here's what I have in the load up :
MyControlArray(i).Location = New Point(CInt(((Width - ButtonWidth) / 2) +_
(ButtonWidth / 2)), CInt((Height - MyControlArray(i).Height) / 2))
I have already tried:
New Point(CInt(((Width - ButtonWidth) / 2)), CInt((Height - MyControlArray(i).Height)_
/ 2))

I would like to build a form that has multiple picture boxes that a user can browse through and click on each one to select multiple items. The pictures will all be pulled from a single directory. After they have selected the items, they will click a button that will change the names on all the selected pictures. I know how to change the names, but I need some assistance with the picture box and loading the file names into a list or array. Not sure what it would be called. I am not even sure really if I would use a picture box or some other form item.

View 15 RepliesI'm building a break-timer application. The objective of this, in VB, is to have an application that lets me create a timer dynamically (maybe through a button click) that counts up (or down if you wanna call it that) to a preset point, then makes beeping noises like an alarm. This is due to my desire to no longer be late to and from my breaks at work.
I was able to create a super simple one that just had three timers that I could tick off, but I find myself using them for way more than just three uses. For example, I start one when I get in to count to the point when I need to punch in my timecard (our system is annoying about being exactly on time) then I start one for when my first break starts, then one for my break, then one for after my break but before my lunch, etc.
So, I wanted to have a program that does the following:Has a scrollbar-capable box that can scroll up and down.Each line of the Scrollbar-capable box has one of my custom controls in it (a wide, thin bar containing a field for how long to go, a start button, a display of time elapsed in seconds, and a stop button).
I can just click a button to create each control one line at a time.Now, I know HOW I can create these, but I want to know:Is there an existing type of box that would let me do something like this? Has someone already written this? Or am I going to be creating a COMPLETELY custom control that will be fairly painful to figure out? In which case, is this even doable, or should I just try something else?
