I installed VS2008 and just VS2010, both allow me to freely move objects around in the HTML Design View.However, I would like to be able to snap the objects in alignment.It is hard to space text boxes and buttons when everything is free flowing.
View 2 RepliesI have a book for VB 2005 and I am running VB 2008 and in VB 2005 they have a layout tab where you can turn off Absolute positioning and in VB 2008 there is no layout tab. So my question is how do you turn off absolute positioning in VB 2008?

View 1 RepliesHow to retrieve the absolute coordinates of an HTML or CSS element from the webbrowser control using Visual Basic? I am using VB 2008 Express Edition. I would like to be able to display the control in my application and then using the HTML Document Object Model (I guess?!) get the X and Y coordinates (top, left, bottom, right) of a DIV or other HTML tag.
View 2 RepliesI am creating a program that will allow you to sketch out a house-floor-plan... I am using Snap-To-Grid code. The snap to grid works fine but i need a label that appears in the middle of the lines that are being drawn that represents the length of the line in feet. This will be saved as a bitmap image, so i need the length to stay visible after the lines are drawn. I have found code for a "symbiote-line", but it displays the text in a caption and the caption dissappears as soon as a line is drawn. I need the text to still be visible after the mouse-up event is fired. This is similar to the way i need the line to look.

I'm creating a UserControl that draws a simple radial gauge. I need it to be very customizable; the user should be able to customize everything such as the colors, fonts, sizes. So, I just made a property for every customizable detail. For example, I had ScaleFont, ScaleColor, ScaleStart, ScaleEnd, ScaleInnerRadius, ScaleOuterRadius, ScaleTickmarkFrequenty, etc.. etc.. etc...
Because there are so many properties about the same subject, I wanted to 'group' these properties into one "property". I've seen this done loads of times in third party controls, but I've never done it before myself.The idea is that the properties can be accessed like
Me.Gauge1.ScaleSettings.Start = 10
Me.Gauge1.ScaleSettings.End = 80
...
So far, I tried creating a class for each group, for example a clsScaleSettings class, containing properties like Font, Color, Start, End, InnerRadius, OuterRadius, TickmarkFrequenty, etc (corresponding to the same properties as above).
Then, for every 'group' or class, I create a Property. For example, I have the ScaleSettings property, which simply returns an instance of the clsScaleSettings class (I initialize the instance only once of course):
vb.net
Private _ScaleSettings As New clsScaleSettings
Public Property ScaleSettings() As clsScaleSettings
[code]....
Now, this works in the code editor. I can now use
Gauge1.ScaleSettings.Font = Me.Font
for example, and it sets the font correctly.But, I does not work in the designer, in the Property Grid. The whole reason I made the effort to move and rename nearly all properties (about 70!), and all references to those properties, to separate classes, was so that the user could design the gauge more easily using the Property Grid!Instead of having 15 settings related to the scale, scattered all over the Property Grid, he can now have one ScaleSettings property, which he can expand, and then he can edit the properties of that group easily.The ScaleSettings property is greyed out in the property grid... So I cannot expand it and view it's underlying properties.
I've made a HTML editor application which includes some features found in Microsoft FrontPage(and Microsoft Expression Web).The only thing is that I now want to add a Designer Window like that in FrontPage(or Expression Web) where users can produce HTML pages dynamically.I do have a Code Window but need a Designer Window.My Code Window includes all features syntax highlighting capability, IntelliSense(like), etc

View 3 RepliesI am trying to convert a web application from using hard-coded deployment locations (ie, /base/path/index.aspx) to discovering them at runtime. If I use Response.Redirect(), I can express the path as '~/index.aspx' and, at runtime, ASP.NET will build the correct URL to send the redirect to based on where the web application is deployed.
There are places in the code where Javascript and/or HTML is generated dynamically and sent to the client as part of the response to force a new window. In these cases, I don't know how to get the actual URL that should be opened in the new window. Using ~ doesn't work in this case since the URL is being evaluated by the browser and not the server. Is there a class or method in ASP.NET that will give me the URL I am looking for? I'd look myself, but I don't even know how to properly phrase my question.
How can I get the absolute path of program I'm running?

How do you position controls loaded at runtime to align middle? I'm not looking to match the x y coordinates as the heights vary.
For example loading 2 text boxs and 2 labels.
I've tried using the Anchor and Dock properties but with no joy.
e.g.
txtNewTextBox = New TextBox
txtNewTextBox.Name = "name"
txtNewTextBox.Dock = DockStyle.Fill

I was wondering if there is an addon, or position controls for my website. I hate having to code the location of a button for example.
Isn't there a way to just move it freely around the form as you do in Visual basic or C# for example?
I have a form where I need to place some labels dinamically. Some of the label's height needs to change depending on the string size that will populate the label's text. So what I need to do is position the labels one below the other, after the text has been populated and the height has been set.
