I have a combobox in a toolbar on my form. I want each item to have a specific forecolor. The forecolor property for the combobox only sets the forecolor for all items in the combobox. I though of overriding the drawitem event but sharpdevelop doesn't show a draw item event for a combobox embedded in a toolbar, only when i add a combobox to the form.
View 1 RepliesIn either of these (preferably Vb6), is it possible to replace a specific pixel color with a defined color? For example, if i scan my screen for 100,200,150, is there a way i can replace every instance of that with a specific color?

I'm currently programming a program with a webbrowser which need to get the position of a specific color when it appears on the webbrowser. It appears every hour. What I have read so far is that I need somehow to capture the screen of the webbrowser and locate the color from the captured bitmap, but I don't know anything about capturing or positions of colors in images. [code]x and y is the location of the color, FFCC66 is the color program is searching for, the last 4 numbers is where the program is searching for the color like between x: 1 y: 1 and x: 405 and y: 371.
View 2 RepliesI'm currently programming a program that should automatically click on a box when it pops up in the form I've made. The annoying thing is that, the box is popping up in different places every time. So the simple question: - Is there any way to automatically or by manual search for a specific color within the form and then get the position of it in VB?
View 1 RepliesI have a project im working on and im trying to change the font color of a specific string basically how vb does while your coding. (eg if i type dim it turns blue).I want to do this with a textbox in a vb application to show a topic of interest. It needs to be dynamic so when a user types it only changes the color of the specified string. I have tried
If TextBox2.Text.Contains("dim") Then
TextBox2.ForeColor = Color.Red
End If
but this changes all the text in the textbox to the color.
I wanted to visualize to the user the diffrence if they opted for certain values. In mycase certain choises would show phonenumbers on intranet.To show how I wil leave the control names default. To recreate the the project. Start a windows form application, place a datagridview, and 2 bindingsources on the form To start we need some data to show and a list to choose from.To make a simple example I chosen to make a person class containing an Id, Name and Position.Id If the Position is a staff position it should be blue others should remain the default style.But lets start with the colorScheme Interface so we can store the colorscheme we want to show for a certain positionitem in the datagrdview It wil need back and forecolors but also colors for teh item whilst selected. To show the Displaymember we want to see I've also added the toString property that should shadow the toString of the object.[code]
View 2 RepliesI want to set Color to specific cell in DataGridView as in this code , but didn't accept BackColor property.
Form1.DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells(3)......BackColor
A way to scan to whole screen, and find a specific color on it - and after that move the mouse over the color.
This is what i would like the process like, so you guys can have a better idea:
1. A timer that scans the whole screen after a specific color every 5 seconds.
2. When the color appear on the screen, it'll move the mouse to the x, y.
3. After that I'll run some code (i'll hopefully find out of that myself)
I actually don't care how the color should be found. If it's a RGB it will be 255, 209, 102 it should look after. Or maybe it could scan the screen after a matching bitmap. And it's not just 1 pixel I want to find the color of, it's the whole screen I'll like to have scanned for the color, and if the color is found - the program should react.
I am filling a DataGridView from a table in SQL Server 2008. There is one column that is a string which contains either "YES" or "NO".When I run and display the DataGridView it displays perfectly. For the User's benefiy, if the field contains "NO" I want to put some emphasis on it by changing the fore color and back coler of the entire row. In the DGV the index for field is (4).I tried this code which threw an error on the word "value" inthe block that fills the DGV.
IF DGV,Columns(4),Value="NO"....

View 17 RepliesI'm trying to turn this into a UserControl for a project and my end goal is to have a combobox that lists all of the colors in the color enum and it also shows a little box next to each item in the drop down that shows the color of each color's name. Just like the one in VS 2005 when you click Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Colors, there's an "Item Foreground" and "Item Background" that does this.I already have the drawing of the colors and whatnot done, here's the
Dim CurrColor As Color
For Each aColorName As String In System.Enum.GetNames(GetType(System.Drawing.KnownColor))
CurrColor = Color.FromName(aColorName)

View 5 RepliesI have a bound data grid view that is linked to a table in my Access Database.
I want to make data entry easy for the user and also error free by limiting what they can put in each cell. How can I make specific columns in my DGV have a dropdown button and add a range to it?
I know how to do it manually:
Dim NewCol As New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn
NewCol.HeaderText = "Title for Column"
NewCol.Items.AddRange("one", "two", "three")
DataGridView1.columns.add(NewCol)
But I don't want to do add each column manually...
I've created an ownerdraw ComboBox (used as DropDownList only) in Visual Basic .NET 2010. I inherited ComboBox and set DrawMode to OwnerDrawVariable. The control itself and the dropdown items are drawn with Paint and DrawItem.
The control works fine so far, but there is one thing i was unable to change: When i click on the combobox to open the dropdown area, this new area has a very bright border color (nearly white) which I want to change to black. I've uploaded an image of the current control and how I want it to look like:

View 2 RepliesHow do I change particular item font(or)text color of a Combobox in VB6?
View 4 RepliesI have a combo box which will store a list of RGB values generated when the user makes a custom color in the color dialog. The values are stored in the combo box in RRR, GGG, BBB format. I have this working. The code for this is as follows:
dlgChooser.ShowDialog()
Dim colorR As String = dlgChooser.Color.R.ToString()
Dim colorG As String = dlgChooser.Color.G.ToString()
Dim colorB As String = dlgChooser.Color.B.ToString()
lblTitle.ForeColor = dlgChooser.Color()
cmbRecent.Items.Insert(0, colorR & ", " & colorG & ", " & colorB)
cmbRecent.SelectedIndex = 0
The next part is to change each recent color's background color to match whatever color the values represent (so that it's easier to pick from the colors). How do I assign a background color to each item listed in the combo box?
I have added a custom Control to my project, but every time I edit it and rebuild the form that I use the custom control in adds the project name in front of the control and won't compile. i.e. Project name = MyProject, Custom Control name = MyControl. When I rebuild the project after editing my control I get an error, MyProject.MyControl doesn't exist. If I remove the MyProject from the line it compiles and runs fine until next time I edit the custom control.
I can't figure out what I would be doing wrong to cause this, or why it is putting the project name in front of the control, but then not accepting it. I am also struggling figuring out how to change the back color on an individual cell in an Datagridview Combo Box. The style.backcolor property of the cell doesn't seem to do anything.
I have a combobox called cbMaterialType on a windows form that's bound to a table in SQL - everything loads great and the combobox displays 'Material' items as it should, in that table I have two fields - Material (as mentioned above) which is a char(25) and InStock which is an nchar(1). If the InStock field contains a '1', I'd like the individual material to be green in the combobox, if '0', then red. I have the simple code in the drawitem event of the combobox as follows, but can't seem to get any results at all:
Private Sub cbMaterialType_DrawItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs) Handles cbMaterialType.DrawItem
If MaterialTableAdapter1.GetData.Item(cbMaterialType.SelectedIndex).InStock = 1 Then
cbMaterialType.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green
Else
cbMaterialType.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
End If
End Sub
I've never worked with any form of color in comboboxes before and this is my first attempt at the drawitem event.
