"Sticky Mouse" On MDIForm?
Jun 2, 2011
I have an application built in vs 2008. The main form is a MDI form with a datagrid for record selection. When the user double clicks on the datagrid it opens a child form with the selected information. the problem I'm having is once the child form appears if I move the mouse up and down I can see the cursor moving as if I was holding the mouse button down on the datagrid and selecting/deselecting multiple records. It will do this until I click on the child form. I've tried setting the focus to the child form but to no avail. It's almost as if the MDI form doesn't realize the mouse button has been released until I click on the child form.

As part of my current project for making student's lives easier by making an All-In-One application with many common programs carbon-copied inside it, I have a slight problem with sticky notes.
I am trying to recreate Sticky Notes as much as possible from the Windows 7 Sticky Notes Application. My problem is, I put a richtextbox on the sticky notes panel and wanted to either add a background image, or a transparent backcolor (my Panel that the textbox is in has the background image of the themed sticky notes). So my question is, is it possible to somehow dynamically make a property to allow the backcolor of a richtextbox to be transparent? or allow a background image?If you find an answer helpful, click the Helpful button. If you find an answer to your question, mark it as the answer. [URL]..

I'm trying to make a program with a dashboard that has sticky notes on it. By sticky notes, I'm just talking about 5 text box's that save the text to file.txt. Nothing fancy. Anyways here is the code I have:
Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
MsgBox("Are you sure you want to save?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo)
If MsgBoxResult.Yes Then
Dim txtwriter As TextWriter
txtwriter = New StreamWriter("file.txt")
txtwriter.WriteLine(TextBox1.Text)
[Code]...

I develop Mac apps.Now, I'm using Visual Studio 2010 (VB) to develop Windows applications. And I wonder if there are different styles of windows (forms)like Floating, Modal,Modeless. This Microsoft web page mentions Tool Window.I'm not sure I have this option.Or is it possible to have a custom window style like the one with Sticky Notes?

While trying to make a prog to print on individual sticky labels I came up with this:-
Code:Imports SystemImports System.Windows.FormsImports System.DrawingImports System.Drawing.Printing
Public Class frmLargeLabels Inherits Form Private WithEvents printDocument1 As New PrintDocument Dim memoryImage As Bitmap
[CODE]...
I pinched it from a Print Form routine but changed the coding in the Private Sub Capture Screen event. ie: RichTextBox instead of Form. (Dim s As Size..........) memoryGraphics has to be twigged to location on form. And, of course location and size to print in the Rectangle.All things to do with a RichTextBox - such as Font, Color, etc can be used making a super-duper label. :8-0::eek: I have not seen anything to do with RTBs giving this.

I'm using Systray for MDIform. The problem that I'm facing is MDIForm_MouseMove event sometimes doesn't get fired and therefore application gets stuck. After several click then all of a sudden it works for few clicks and then again get stuck.

I have two custom action listers. One that handles Mouse.Click and one that handles Mouse.MouseDown. My question to you is, can I delay the mouse down event so that it does not intefere with the code of the Mouse.Click event? I have tried adding a timer and waiting x amount then setting a bool value to true, but the code executes to fast and it skips the other code.

Well i have a rather strange request here in work and i am wondering if there is an easy solution.
Some users require all the time information about the orders workflow(its critical that keep all the time monitoring) so they came with a suggestion that i will make a form that will stay at all times on top and top of windows taskbar.Everything else will be shifted upwards.
Let me describe it a little more.Lets say that the user has a monitor with resolution 1024 x 768 At 95% they are using a small window of a custom form in access to do their work.I am thinking of a form that will "sit" on top of windows taskbar and has size lets say 1024 x120.In order to keep the notifying i want the whole remaining desktop to get resized to 1024x 600(there is also the windows taskbar) .
The form will stay there regardless what application is running either this could be an access form,or a word document unless some one closes it and get the desktop restored to its normal size.
I know i am missing the right word to describe it but i have seen this before but i don't have a clue of how to do it.

I've been working on a GUI in WPF which I'm fairly new to, having only used Windows Forms up until now. So far, my GUI is very simple: it contains two rectangles, each of which drops a shadow. The shadow creates an effect of rectangles "floating above the canvas" so to speak.
When one of the rectangles is pressed, the myRectangle.MouseDown event is handled such that the shadow goes away, thus creating an effect of the rectangle being pressed down onto the canvas, like a button.Similarly, when mouse button is released, the myRectangle.MouseDown event is handled such that the shadow reappears and the rectangle "floats" again. This behavior make them resemble buttons. Note, there a reasons I want them to be rectangles and not custom buttons.
[Code]...
If the pointer leaves a rectangle while mouse button is pressed, I'd like shadow to reappear. This is arguable simple, because theoretically in this case, any time myRectangle.MouseLeave is raised, the shadow should come back on, even if it was already there.If the pointer left a rectangle when mouse button was pressed, then came back while before the button was released, I want the shadow to disappear again. This one is what gives me problems. No idea how to do this.

I am new to VB.NET, Now i'm working with Events in VB.NET, I have two event methods, Mouse Click and Mouse Down for a single button in a form, I have displyed a message in each of these methods but only mouse down event is triggered. Why Mouse Click is not triggered? Similiarly I Did the same for Mouse Enter and Mouse Move for a particular button, in this case both the events are triggered.

Apologies as this has probably been answered a million different times a million different ways already. I'm trying to control the mouse. I wish to move the mouse to a given pixel position (x, y) and cause a click. I don't want this to be limited within a form, as I want to control another application. I'm using VB 2005.

how to raise the mouse leave and mouse hover events for VB when i place my mouse cursor over the button.
When my mouse cursor is over the buttons, it will raise the mouse hover event and open the form, then when the mouse leaves the button, it will close the form upon raising the mouse leave event.
but currently, When i excute this two events, the for will open and close very,very fast. so fast that it is like spamming the VB.
So i am wondering how to change the code that i have to excecute the event one time every time the mouse is over the button which is created at run time.
the codes to execute these two events are:
Private Sub Button_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
For Each ctl As Control In PictureBox1.Controls
[Code].....

[URL] I have tried heslacher's method which is Hi clzanas, you problems had been the result of calling a for each loop inside the events. If you only want for the button you hoover / leave to call the ShowDetails.Open/close, then you can take the code below:
Private Sub Button_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If TypeOf sender Is Button Then
ShowDetails.Close()
[code]....
But i got the same results as my previous code, resulting in the form opening and closing so fast that it is like spamming the window.

I'm currently debugging a form that sets a flag when the mouse button is pressed, then clears the flag when the mouse button is released. As long as the mouse button is pressed, the user can move the mouse around and a few things happen depending on where they move. One of the things that happens is that a timer starts, or stops, and a few things change color depending on the mouse position. The timer starts when it should, then stops when it should, but once stopped, it is not re-starting when it should. I can verify that MouseMove events are getting through, because coloring changes as I move the mouse, as it should. This would be a simple thing to debug...except that it requires the darn mouse button to be down, and it uses the mouse move event. Anybody who has put a breakpoint in a mouse move event handler knows the issue: There are THOUSANDS of them. Worse yet, since the mouse button is necessary for switching to the IDE, as well as setting a breakpoint (technically, a keyboard shortcut could do this if I could shift focus), I can't wait for the problem to happen, then switch to the IDE and set a breakpoint to see what is happening then.Does anybody have any tips or techniques for debugging in mouse move events when the mouse button is down and has to stay that way? As it is, I'm going to have to write some funky code into the method just so that I have a place to get a breakpoint when I need it without breaking on every one of the mouse move events.
