I have created a base class for some user controls, then I created controls that inherit this class. This is so I can CTYPE the inherited controls back to the base class and refer to properties, methods and events in a common interface. The base class declares has some Public Event BLAH(Sender as object, e as EventArgs) declarations. The derived class then has Public Shadows Event BLAH(Sender as object, e as eventargs) declarations. My parent form adds handlers for the BLAH event. When the derived class fires the event, though, it does not get raised to the parent form.
How to create custom events for contol. i have created a user control mytextbox & i am showing some properties of textbox & now i want to expose user control events
I created a control that has picture box control docked within it. This control allows me to "animate" the image by swapping them out by setting the interval to swap them at. I want to use this control kind of like an animated icon within a application, but because the picture box is docked, the control I created won't respond to the events, MouseHover specifically. [Code]
I want to add a custom property to a button in window form. Currently i am using following code to create my logic. but i want to create an enum value for a button control.
In order to take advantage of the spell checking ability of WPF textboxes, I have added one to a user control (with the use of elementhost). This user control is used in various window forms. My current problem is trying to handle keyup events from this textbox but the windows form is unable to "get" any event from the control. I can access the properties of the textbox just fine (i.e. text, length, etc.) but keyboard events don't seem to work.I have found, however, that the following will bring back events from the WPF textbox:
Public Class MyUserControl Private _elementHost As New ElementHost Private _wpfTextbox As New System.Windows.Controls.Textbox
[code].....
The user control is now able to do something after the PreviewKeyUp event is fired in the WPF textbox. Now, I'm not completely sure how to have the window form containing this user control to work with this.
We have a ASP.NET web application written in VB.NET where we build content programmatically during the Init event.We make extensive use of user controls, building them on the fly, and I now want to start including SilverLight content.Is there an easy way of embedding a SilverLight application in a control, and then instantiating the whole thing in code, in the same way as you'd programmatically add ordinary ASP.NET controls to a page?The SilverLight component itself works fine when added to a page using the <object> tag but I really want to be able to reuse it elsewhere in code.Since I'm expecting use of SilverLight to increase in our application, and the asp:Silverlight control seems now to be deprecated, I'm looking for an alternative way of wrapping the content.
I have the user control that is loaded dynamically. When the user save the data by clicking on the Save button, a raise event is passed.
Public Sub RaiseCloseEvent(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) RaiseEvent Close(sender, e) Debug.Print(String.Format("The control {{0}} was closed by {{1}}.", Me.Name, sender.ToString)) End Sub
In the save button I have called the RaiseCloseEvent as follows:
RaiseCloseEvent(sender, e)
Now, how can I close the user control form? Any Idea? I have used VB.Net language.
I'm having trouble porting some .NET2-era C# to .NET2-era VB.NET. Specifically, I am trying to define an interface that an ASP.NET user control will implement.(For background, I am trying to re-implement Phil Haack's Model-View-Presenter example from several years ago: http://haacked.com/archive/2006/08/09/ASP.NETSupervisingControllerModelViewPresenterFromSchematicToUnitTestsToCode.aspx)
The C# interface I'm working from defines properties and events (IsPostBack, Load) that are already implemented by the base control.However, VB.NET is forcing me to explicitly implement these properties/events in the user control (Public Property IsPostBack() As Boolean Implements IView.IsPostBack...). I'd like to just define these in the interface and not have to do anything special in the code-behind of the implementing user control.I'm assuming that I can do this in VB.NET, I just don't know how. I've spent all sorts of time googling/bing-ing, and haven't come up with the answer.
I've got a page (aspx) that contains a usercontrol (ascx).On postback of the aspx, I'd like to read some control values in the ascx. So upon reading some good articles, I created an event in my aspx that fires on postback.The event handler is in the ascx, and simply writes the values I'm interested in to the viewstate so that the parent page can read them.The problem is my event handler never gets hit, even though I see the event is raised as I step through the code. So my code bombs when trying to read the viewstate (which is empty)[code]Oh, did I happen to mention I'm dynamically loading the ascx? :)
I have a component class that inherits a user control class and i'm trying to inherit from that same class in a new class.public class B inherits class Unfortunately, I get an error pointing to the .g.vb file saying:Base class 'System.Windows.Controls.UserControl' specified for class '...' cannot be different from the base class '...' of one of its other partial types When I swap the "Inherits System.Windows.Controls.UserControl" with inherits from the base class in .vb files the program compiles but when I try to access any of the components I get an error saying "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."Why is it doing this? it's as if the my sub class isn't inheritingUserControl method at all.
I'm trying to build a dial control as a custom user control in VB.NET. I'm using VS2008.so far I have managed to rotate image using graphics.rotatetransform . however, this rotate everything. Now I have a Bitmap for the dial which should stay stable and another Bitmap for the needle which I need to rotate.so far i've tried this:
Dim gL As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmpLongNeedle) gL.TranslateTransform(bmpLongNeedle.Width / 2, bmpLongNeedle.Height * 0.74) gL.RotateTransform(angleLongNeedle)[code].....
As I understand it, the image of the needle should be rotated at angle "angleLongNeedle" although i'm placing the rotated image at 0,0. However, the result is that the Needle doesn't get drawn on the control.
I created a custom user control named "XYZ" and It is avaialble at the toolbox menu in the design mode and I can drag and drop it to a vb.net Windows form. What I really want is to dynamically to add this user control to the Windows form during the Windows form load event. Actually I want to add this user control to a "split container" named "sc_1" on the tab page named "tp_1" on a tab control named "tc_1" on a Windows form. What is teh vb code to add a user control to a Windows form. I am using vs 2005 and dotnetwork v2.0.
I made a custom progressbar as a user control. And I have only been working with forms 'n classes. As you all know, when you create a component in class, it gives you the dll file for the custom component or whatever you made so you can use it on any program. On my custom progressbar, I don't know how to get the ocx or dll file so I can use it on my other programs. OR.. if this is even possible lol. If you could help me on this, that'd be great. And I don't know how to make a custom progressbar out of a class, only user control, so if you could teach me how to make a progressbar out of a class, then that'd be awesome too.
I had this new idea for a user control Sliding Bar/Panel. See screenshot. So I quickly whipped it up but I've got this problem that I cannot figure out why it does not work. Because I wanted to make it nice and tidy I desided to use a Class (Header) and created a TypeConverter (HeaderConverter)
Code: Public Class HeaderConverter : Inherits ExpandableObjectConverter Protected SortOrder() As String Public Sub New() SortOrder = New String() {"Text", "Depth"} End Sub [Code] ..... and goes to the RaiseEvent but nothing happens Why?
I know I could put properties on the Container control to access the ctnbutton Control that is embedded into the control but I thought this might be a nicer way.
I have a user control (SomeUserControl), that I am using in a Main Window. I write my application entirely on SomeUserControl, and Main Window is hosting SomeUserControl and nothing else.
Right now I have a shutdown button (in SomeUserControl), that is supposed to close the Main Window. The reason for this is that I do not want anything from SomeUserControl to close the application itself, but to fire an event from SomeUserControl, and Main Window receives it, and Main Window will close the application instead of SomeUserControl.
How do I do it? I am not familiar with the concept of creating and handling custom events, so if someone could explain it in words and in code as an example, I will be very grateful to you!
Edit: Here's my code so far.
(in Window 2)
Public Event CloseApp As EventHandler Private Sub CancelButton_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles CancelButton.Click DialogResult = False
[Code]....
I want to close the application when I click cancel in Window 2, but I don't want to do it in such a way that Window 2 closes itself, but by sending some notification to Main Window, and Main Window closes the application.
I need a way to have 3 colums of checkboxes inside a checkedlistbox. I know i could do it with a panel, labels and checkboxes. But having them all in the control would be more convenient. I'm pretty sure there is no direct way of doing this, so i assume i need to create a user control. If you're not completely sure what i'm trying to create, i'm going for something that looks like this: [URL]
I'm attempting to create a simple menu user control just as outlined here. The attached code results in an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error, but I can't figure out why.
I'm trying to use ResolveUrl() to set some paths in the code behind of a custom ASP.NET user control. The user control contains a navigation menu. I'm loading it on a page that's loading a master page.When I call ResolveUrl("~") in my user control it returns "~" instead of the root of the site. When I call it in a page I get the root path as expected. I've stepped through with the debugger and confirmed, ResolveUrl("~") returns "~" in my user control code behind.Is there some other way I should be calling the function in my user control code behind to get the root path of the site?
I created a Custom User Control at work using VS Express. It was added to my toolbox and then I added it to my form.When I created another one at my home use VS Pro, I think, it was not added to my toolbox and I'm not sure how to access it.
what i am trying to do is create a custom user control for my WPF forms that is a button with both text and an image. Everything that i have found is using C# and i am using vb.net.
I have a custom control and would like the properties to be mandatory (not default) when a programmer codes the control. Is there a good way to do this without throwing exceptions in the program?
There is a response to this question using C# - I am looking for a VB answer and the C# code is too deep for me. I have a custom user control and I have a toolstrip on it. I have certain default buttons on the toolstrip, but I want the user to be able to add additional buttons at design time. I exposed the Toolstrip.Items collection in a public property. I can open the collections editor in design time, but I cannot edit the collection.
http:[url].... contains a Visual Studio 2010 Solution with a Form and a User Control.
Question. Why isn't OnMouseMove (at top below Constructor) being called with every movement of the mouse across the UserControl's grid?My intention is to have a reticle (crosshairs) replace (override) the existing mouse cursor and show a reticle with x and y coordinates?I have another form upon which a User Control with similar functionality is working perfectly.
I've created a user control with a simple text box and a corresponding label and added a few custom control properties. When added to a form, I'm trying to loop through all control of this type and evaluate the custom property. In the below, the cntl.MyCustomProperty is not recognized. I can evaluate the property when I check each user control on the form by name, but not by using the loop below. I would much rather use the loop as it is much cleaner.
For Each cntl As Control In Me.Controls If (TypeOf cntl Is MyUserControl) And cntl.MyCustomProperty = "ABC" Then ''Do some stuff End If Next
I'm coming over from VB6 in which you could use 'user controls' to create reusuable custom controls. They were simple and contained and you can easily create several instances of a user control within the same or other apps. In vb2008 there are user controls but I can not figure out how to add them to forms or or other apps. Can someone please give me the the basic steps to add a custom user control to a form or project.
I figured it out. Check out the finished control [URL]..I'm trying to make myself a simple 'star rating' control.
It would have the properties: StarCount (number of stars) StarValue (number of stars highlighted)
I want to draw the stars using GDI+, have them highlight on mouse over, and change the StarValue when clicked.I have an idea on how to do this from experience with working with forms, but I'm having some difficulties with the Control development part. I couldn't find any tutorials which didn't inherit a control (such as a checkbox or button), and I have no idea how to make my control editable in the designer.
I think what I need to do is create StarCount as a property like this:
[Code]...
I also want to execute my drawing code at design time, so I can see the stars while laying out a form. as a side note to that, I don't know how to change the size of the control at run or design time, nor how to disable the user from changing it at design time.as a side note - I know that there are a few star rate controls already floating around the internet, but I do not like the quality of them (or at least the one's I've seen), they felt very windows 98. I'm trying to make something that will fit well into windows 7 (plus I want to implement custom images, but that can wait until I get it working)
When the control resizes to show some extra information it expands. It also collapses when the user preses a button. This works alright. But now when I click where the expanded area used to be, it still fires mouse leftbuttondown on that control. I have tried to set IsHitTestVisible to false on the expanded element but it diden't work. Here's some xaml...
I cant use another element around my customcontrol since I also use this MouseLeftButtonDown on all different kind of controls. I can't figure out how the boundaries on the cu.MouseLeftButtonDown event work to fix this.
I have a User Control which is a customer input form.I'm working on a sales system, when generating a sale, the customer data is populated by a Javascript Auto Complete, but when loading a saved sale, I need to paste a User ID into the control programatically.
Renders my control on the page within the markup of the parent document (in this case it's called newSale.aspx)In the code behind in newSale.aspx.vb I need to be able to programmtically change the value of the Controls customerID attribute. I can't seem to do it.This is what I have done, following various Googling attempts, but it is always leaving the customerID as zero
