Track Bar Changing Transparentcy Of Forms?

Mar 24, 2011

On my program I would like a track bar to change the Opacity of certain forms. There is a checked list box so if the user checked the main form and some other forms, boxes and used the track bar to change the Opacity of those forms. If the user uses the track bar and goes right it will increase the Opacity and to the left decreases the Opacity. Then when the user is all done He/She will press the Apply button to apply the changes of the Main Form or Forms.

Forms :: RichTextBox - Changing Font Size Without Changing Families And Styles

Sep 21, 2010

I'm searching for a way to change the font size of selected text in a RichTextBox (rtf) having different font families (e.g. Arial and MS SansSerif) and font styles (underline, bold...) using the FontDialog, but without changing the families and styles. The following code resets all the font attributes, which is not what I want:

Using A Hashtable To Keep Track Of Forms?

May 9, 2011

I was using the For Each frm as From In Application.OpenForms but it seemed a bit inefficient to loop thru every open form when I already knew what I was looking for. After some googling I found some information about hashtables so I used the following code. This code works as long as another form, say form3, isn't open with the same ID. What I am trying to figure out is, why is the hsh.contains only looking at the key instead of looking at the key/value pair?

Form1
Public hsh as New HashTable
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

Keeping Track Of Values In Different Forms?

Feb 10, 2011

I am trying to create a quiz application in Visual Basic 2008. I need to be able to store a score value when the player gets a correct answer. When the value is stored a new question set appears. Once the score is calculated I want to be able to show this is in a new form so the value needs to be passed from one form to the other. I'm not entirely sure how to do this but I believe it will incorporate a module.

Forms :: Changing Look Of Tab Control

Sep 17, 2009

I'm quite new at this but I'm trying to change the look of a tab control other than the options provided in the control's properties. In short I want to create a large tab that will fit a picture but I don't know how to change the size of the tab. I also want to make the control look somewhat different than what the control provided with VS.NET looks like.

What I need to know is how to create a custom control that operates the same as tabcontrol but looks different than the traditional control provided with VS. I tried looking up how to create a custom control but all I could find was how to create one programatically and I don't know how it would apply to a tab control. Maybe the only way to do it is programmatically but I would rather play with the control in the designer than having it appear only at runtime.

Objects Set To Nothing After Changing Forms?

Dec 19, 2010

In form frmAddPlayers I declare and create an array of pictureboxes in the Load event using the code:

Dim
pbxPlayerJoined(7) As
PictureBox

[code]....

In the watch window the value of the pictureboxes is System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox. Later in the load event I start a background worker in form sfrmUSBDevice using the code:

sfrmUSBDevice.sReadWriteThread.RunWorkerAsync()

The background worker waits for user input and then calls a subroutine from form frmAddPlayers. The subroutine changes the image in the picturebox to indicate that the user input has taken place. However when the debugger returns from sfrmUSBDevice to frmAddPlayers the watch window shows that all of the pictureboxes have a value of nothing. Then when I try to change the image of the picturebox I get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" exception. It seems like when the debugger goes to the sfrmUSBDevice form and comes back to frmAddPlayers the objects on frmAddPlayers have lost their information.

Changing Visibility Of Objects Without Using MDI Forms?

Nov 26, 2009

Currently my program randomly removes words from a set of text and inserts textboxes below the text. The user can then enter his/her answers in the new textboxes. What I would like to do is set the program so the user can have two choices one being Easy and other being Advanced. Then when the user hits either button it brings up everything that is currently on the form. I'd prefer to do this without having to use MDI forms. I've had a hard time using the MDI forms and therefore would like to avoid using them. They way I was thinking this could work is all objects would remain invisible except for the 2 buttons and then when you hit one of them they disappear and everything else appears.

Changing Child Forms Control Box Position?

Apr 6, 2009

Well I'm not sure how to describe it so i uploaded an image that has 2 different control box positions.

[URL]

The one on top is set up as Render Mode=System while the other image is set up as Render Mode= ManagerRenderMode

Both applications were developed in VB using VS2005.

Each one has its MDI container and their MainMenuStrip set up..

What property/reason would be causing this? I just created a test program simulating the same case (MDI container with child forms) and everytime i maximized the control boxes appear in the correct position.

Forms :: Controls Changing Size For No Reason?

Apr 20, 2010

My program has two lists, one a listbox and the other a listview viewed in details mode.

Both of them change heights (get taller) for no obvious reason. I am having to add a call to a method that resizes them to the end of every method, which is kind of absurd, I think. Also, when the window size is changed, these components change size, which means I have to keep track of that.

Edit: I had also thought of adding a timer to handle this.

.net - Windows.Forms.Listbox Selected Item Font Size Is Changing?

Jan 4, 2011

I have inherited from a Windows.Forms.Listbox so I could override the OnPaint and OnDrawItem methods in an effort to highlight specific items and alternate backcolors. I am also skipping some DrawItem events to prevent flickering.Everything is working fine, however when I select items in the listbox, it looks like the font is shrinking or becoming more compressed.Then when I mouse leave, the font goes back to its normal size and appearance but the same items are still selected (which is correct). During debugging the font never changes nor do any of its properties, but it does end up looking different when the item is selected and the mousedown event just happened.

_relativityHighlightColor = relativityHighlightColor

Forms :: Integer Value Changing When Compare Cell Data By Using 'IndexOf' Feature?

Sep 17, 2010

I have a program that is reading an Excel (xlsx) file and I am trying to take the data found in one of the cells and split it based upon the '@' symbol inside that cell. Here's an example: value in cell is "XXX @ YYY" I declare 3 strings (strOriginal, strA, strH) strOriginal is the value from the cell ("XXX @ YYY") then my code is supposed to split up the values in the Original string based upon that '@' symbol.So when my code is done, strA should = 'XXX' and strH should = 'YYY'.

Here is my code

strOriginal = dtbExcelData.Rows(0).Item(0).ToString
y = strOriginal.IndexOf("@")
strA = strOriginal.Substring(0, y - 1)

[code]....

For some unknown reason, the y integer (in this case, it is '4') changes to a random number (it has changed to 44, 61, 124) and causes the error "Error with Excel file: Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length" to occur.I understand why the error occurs (my y integer is not staying at 4)...I just don't understand why that y integer is changing numbers when it should remain as the indexof the '@' symbol. I'm looking for any suggestions on how to pull out the data after the space after the '@' symbol (the 'YYY' portion of 'XXX @ YYY'). Also sometimes the 'YYY' is only 'YY' as well.

Forms :: Clear The Dgv When The User Blanks The Combobox Without Necessarily Changing The Selection Index?

Oct 25, 2010

I have just realised that ComboBoxes don't have a Change event. I have a combobox filled with a few items, eg. Bakery, Deli, Fruit & Veg, etc. Choose one of these items, all the related items show in the dgv. However, when I blank the text in the Combobox (press Delete key whilst Combobox has the focus), what event fires so I can blank the dgv? The combobox does not contain a Blank item. Even if it does, the Blank item only fires the ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged when the user scrolls down to, or clicks on, the blank value.

I want to clear the dgv when the user blanks the combobox without necessarily changing the selection index.
