I am working on making a borderless form resize, but every time you move the mouse while resizing, it starts blinking until you are done. Is there a smoother borderless resize?
Here is the code I have right now
Dim CurLocation, AppLocation As New Point(0, 0)
Private Sub Sync()
CurLocation = Cursor.Position
AppLocation = Me.Size

I'm a moderate (self taught) skill level programmer, developing a piece of software to display information on a Large-screen LCD Display using VB.Net 2008 in Visual Studio 2008 Pro, this is a WinForms project targeted for the .NET 3.5 framework.I have a WebBrowser Control (docked into a disabled panel on the form) which is used to playback a powerpoint presentation, on a fullscreen, borderless form.I need this to be resizeable/ movable, depending on the other information I need to display. If I just resize/move the control, but looks horrible, so I would like to animate this resizing.The WebBrowser control will be, by default, in the top right quarter of the screen, resizing to fill the screen as and when needed (so the control will need to scale up in size, and move left at the same time).I've tried to loop through a resize in increments, but the browser resize flickers, although the powerpoint inside it appears to look OK. Is there any way to make this a nice, smooth resize, without the flickering?
View 4 RepliesI have a form positioned slightly above the taskbar/system tray in the bottom right corner of my desktop window.It's sort of like a pop-up notification.The notification itself looks great,but there's a button on it which resizes the form up, animating the sizing in increments of 5px whilst keeping it's position relative to the bottom-right corner of the screen.
The problem with this is that it doesn't look very smooth. Adjusting Me.Width resizes from the left so you have to then move the form to the left with Me.Left to compensate. Me. SetBounds just seems to be a wrapper for setting those properties anyway.Is there anything I can do to have the form smoothly (or at least appear to) resize outwards from the left of the form?
1)Interestingly, if I try to draw on a Form with formborderstyle = none, no drawing appears.On a form, with borders; no problem
2)If I draw from wihin a paint event, i can draw on both.However, the paint event has its own issues, most irritatingly the fact that it doesn't draw immedately, but only after going all the way back through a whole chain of calls.anyway that I can draw directly on a borderless form?
I am trying to make a borderless form so I set the "Form Border Style" property to "None". So then I ran it and could not move it around. How do I overcome this? Btw I already made the close button and etc.

View 3 RepliesI'm using VB.net 2010 and WPF 4. I need to have a smooth transition between two videos played on the mediaelement. I absolutely cannot use anything that requires me to use a winhost in the WPF window, as that will make my project impossible (since the video is full screen, and the controls are over the video)Basically, I need for the video to play through, and then smoothly go to another video specified in code behind. I cannot splice the two videos together - they must be separate.How do I have the videos transition smoothly, with no "blink"?

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to make a borderless form. I chose a dark red color as a backcolor and as a transparency key. I made my own dragable title bar, my own close, minimize, maximize and restore buttons and all that stuff. BUT, in order to imitate the Microsoft Windows' style perfectly, I tried to copy that outer glow that Microsoft has:I had to add an outer glow to my form in Photoshop and save it as .PNG. Here's what happened:The dark red became darker under the influence of my outer glow, and it was not considered a dark red anymore. How can I get rid of that?
View 1 RepliesI already got the move part, that's easy, what I'm having trouble with is when I click on the form and try to move it, it shifts a little, that is really annoying, I just want it to be smooth. I want it to be as if I'm moving the form from the title bar. [Code]

View 3 RepliesI'm starting work updating an UI for one of my company's applications and I'm running into a sticky issue. The parent control contains several panels, each of which can be turned on or off depending on user input.
The final panel in the user control contains another user control which gets resizes according to a toggle switch. Essentially, it "opens" up more information.
While the child control (ChildControl) is docked to Fill inside the parent control (ParentControl), when I add height to ChildControl I can't get ParentControl's height to get updated as well. Currently I'm handling the ChildControl.Layout event in ParentControl but I can't seem to reach that code. To resize ChildControl, I'm calling Me.Height += 200 in ChildControl.vb.
I'm not sure if I'm to post it here or in an other forum, but i will give it a try here So, as the title says: i want to add smooth scrolling text to my program. But i want to use java,php,xhtml or what else there is.I fund one example in the source to Mozilla FireFox 3.7 Alpha 5. The example is attached and is the file that contains the credits(.xhtml file in a .zip archive )
I guess i could just change the display-text to what ever i want, but i don't really know how to add it to my program.Well, take a look at the attached file and see what you can come up with(just open the file in your browser and it should start scrolling after a little while) Attached File(s)Credits.zip (6.07K)Number of downloads: 445

View 3 Replieshow do i make i VB .net application/tool (any sort of) like a professional one, for eg. if my tool is doing some task when i click a button which takes say 1-2 mins. , then during that phase my app should not look like it's hung (plain white window) if you know what i mean . All i'm asking is the logic for keeping my front end viewable & refreshed (possibly wit ha progressbar) while something carried out in background which takes couple of mins.
View 2 RepliesI am doing a project. I want smooth progress bar that shows progress of EACH loop. Lets say I have a loop, (the amount of steps of loop is dynamically determined according to input of the user) but each loop will perform 4 or 5 steps.
Like collect data into string
RegEx
Submit form to http using web.UploadData
Get result data
Arrange data using regex
Display output in a multi line text box ( append data for each loop)
Now as I said there are unknown amount of loops that will perform above steps. What I am trying to do is : make a smooth progress bar which will show progress of one loop and then reset to zero and start over again as second loop is started. Like this :
ProgressBar.Maximum = 100
ProgressBar.Step = 25 ( for 4 steps )
For each data in dataArray
[Code] .....
Now I want progress of each step displayed in the progress bar smoothly. Like the one when we copy a big file to another location. Each loop takes about 5 - 10 second time (depending on the internet speed, as it submits a form and gets output.
From the dynamic form I added. I realized that I can't get a gif animation to run in the form's background. So I thought I'd give it a try by embeding a picturebox on the dynamic form, but it's not working hence why I'm here.
So on my main form (Form1) I have 2 buttons, openfiledialog, and a picturebox. When you click button1 you browse for the an image to display in the picturebox, and when you press button2 as you can see from the code below. It'll open a new form, but what I want is to have the picturebox displayed over the whole form, but also play the gif animation I selected from my main form via Form1 onto the dynamically embeded one, but in the picturebox. Now I can't use it as BackgroundImage so I'm using it as just an Image, but my problem now is I'm unable to move each borderless form, and am unable to close each as well.[code]....
As you can see from the code provided below as well as the title, that I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to move this dynamically embeded borderless form in VB.NET.
Private Sub AddWidget_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AddWidget.Click
Dim WidgetForm As Form
WidgetForm = New Form()
WidgetForm.ShowInTaskbar = False
[code]....
I've done this method (code below) a couple times in the past, and it always seems to work for moving a form, but I'm unsure on how to apply this for the dynamically embeded form.
Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseDown
If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
drag = True
mousex = Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position.X - Me.Left

I have an MDI parent form and multiple child forms. Child forms are borderless and set to start in the maximized position because I want the forms to completely fill/resize within the parent form and only display the selected form, one form at a time.
Problem I have is whenever I load a form it puts another bar at the top of the screen and another control box. Is there any way to get the child forms to load in maximized state without this bar? I tried .controlbox = false and it gets rid of the control box but the bar is still there.
I have a DataGridView with two columns. One is DataGridViewComboBoxColumn and other is DataGridViewButtonColumn. To capture the button click from the DataGridViewButtonColumn, i have written the CellClick event and it is working fine. However, this is not making my selection from the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn 'smooth'. What i mean is that i have to click on the combo-box twice for it to show the drop-down list. I have noticed that at every click, CellClick is fired. But only after the second click the drop-down pops out. What is the work-around for this?
