View 2 RepliesPretending I have a class that inherits off Control, how would I handle the parent form's Resize and Move events within the control? I have a painting glitch that happens when the form is resized or moved. Right now in the form I just have:
vb.net Private Sub frmMain_ResizeMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles Me.Resize, Me.Move Me.Refresh()End Sub
But this can't be the proper way to do it, considering Refresh() invalidates all children (will be slow and flashing if the form has lots of controls). I want to basically do the above code inside the control.
Edit:This is the glitch after a resize of the parent form:
And this is what the button is supposed to look like:
Also, I experience this issue if something like a message box is dragged over top of it. How can I remedy these issues by forcing a repaint?
When I try to add an inherited form, I get an error:
"Value does not fall within the expected range"
(Add-->New Item-->Windows Forms-->Inherited Form), I get the "Add New Item Project Name" window. When I click the Add button, I get the error.
on the custom inherited control i created, i noticed that when i bind my custom property to a data column, if that data column returns a value other than Null it always return a datarowstate of modified even if there were no changes. to produce this issue, i have below a sample code for a test inherited control
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.ComponentModel
Public Class TestControl

create a form, add the usual objects necessary for data bindings, (datasource, datatable). make sure the data column bound to this TestControl will return non null values.also create a procedure for position changed to catch the datarowstate like below...
Private Sub PositionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim rowstate As DataRowState = DataRowState.Unchanged
[code]....
Note that i used Position - 1 so that when you go to the next record, it will show you the rowstate of the previous record.
on your Form_Load add the ff:
AddHandler YourBindingSource.PositionChanged, AddressOf PositionChanged
don't make any changes to the current record before you go to the next record. you will see that the rowstate will still return Modified.
I have setup some base forms with some bottons on it The buttons are situated in a panel.Both the panel and the buttons modifer properties have been set up as "Friend".The problem I have is when I inherit these base forms, the buttons seem to jump around by themselves allot
View 6 Repliesam trying to make use of inheritance to keep consistency in my user control appearance. I created a usercontrol to use as my base design, as a platform to link to a tab as acontainer. To this I added a few framing visual items like a header panel andsome labels.I then created another usercontrol that inherits from my base control, with the intention of adding the necessary items to this derived control to build it into a complete functional usercontrol that I can associate with a tab on my main form. I want to keep the visual appearance consistent across all similar derived controls. Then later if I change the design of the base form, this flows through to the derived controls.
View 7 RepliesI have a base form and I inherit other forms from it. However, if i go back and change say the size of the base form, I don't see those changes take effect in my inherited forms. Does anyone know why that is? Is there a solution to this issue?So as far as design is goes, what exactly gets inherited by other forms?
View 9 RepliesI am using visual inheritance and was wondering if there is a way to change the properties of inherited controls at design time, preferably in the form designer. If not, then in the designer code. I have my control declared as Public in the base class. I can access it in the child form code, but not in the form designer. Is this just not possible?

View 8 RepliesI am having a problem with closing a form which I have inherited I have a form called frmAddForm_Simple, which contains 4 main controls (A Data Grid, A Save Button, A Close Button and a Text Box). The idea around the form is to create a form which could be used for inputting of many different types of data which are all entered in the same way (i.e. to add a new row to a database for [Status] table or [Location] table, all of which contain 2 columns in the database (an [Id] and a [value]). On the form I have a property called _FormChanged, which when the textbox text changes, sets the property to True. I then have the following code on the Close Button:-
Public Sub btnClose_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnClose.Click
If _FormChanged Then
If MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to close and discard any changes?", "Discard Changes",
[CODE]...
Is opened as a dialog (ShowDialog) and when I go to close the inherited form (by click on btnClose) and answer No to the above MessageBox the form closes anyway. Using the Debugged I have worked out that the following events occur in sequence (all of which runs in the Master Form mentioned above):-
1) btnClose_Click sub Routine runs
2) I answer No to the question do I want to close the form
3) The debugger steps over the Me.Close() line (as expected)
4) The debugger jumps up to the Sub Initialise (where ShowDialog was called from) and closes the form.
So at no point has the debugger even ran a line of code which reads Me.Close(), but the form closes anyway so Im fairly confused as to why the form should close.
My Master Form (frmAddForm_Simple) Code:-
Public Class frmAddForm_Simple
Private _FormChanged As Boolean = False
Private _FormLoading As Boolean = False

I am trying to create an inherited form- when I go to add it, I get the following message- "CustomerInformation --- The base class 'Object' could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and that all projects have been built"
View 3 RepliesI'm currently working on binding an objects properties to fields on a Form. Whilst I have managed to get it so that I can get standard objects to bind, I am having a problem figuring out how I would go about binding an inherited object.
For example, if I had a Client class (the parent class) and then two sub-classes called CompanyClient and IndividualClient. The CompanyClient would have an extra field company name for example.The problem I'm having is that I'm not certain how to set up the binding, as if I set up the binding against the Client class then I would be missing the Company Name property for the CompanyClient, if I set up against the CompanyClient, then it wouldn't work with the IndividualClient as it doesn't have all the fields.
I know I could get around this by having different forms for each of the different Client types, but as almost all of the properties are the same I would like to avoid this if I can.I was wondering whether anyone knows how I might be able to go about doing this
I have a an inherited form that has a panel control on it. I want to paste other controls onto this panel but the paste option is grayed out and won't let me do it. I made sure that the template form did not lock the panel. I'm stymied from making progress until I can get this resolved.
View 2 RepliesMainForm having a few buttons, VolForm is inheriting MainForm. I can see this perfectly in the designer.VolForm itself contains a trackbar. Now have 2 forms. Form1 and Form2 both inherit VolForm. If I change the trackbar from Form1, and then show Form2, the trackbar is not having the same value. Is there any way to keep this trackbar the same in every form that inherits VolForm?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create my own control to build a custom planning on it.After trying it with loose controls I got an error but after advice on my previous post, I redraw everything.I have now the header of the control finished, the header shows the days of the month for as many months that fit in the window.Now I want to put the list of data below it, but it will be more than the windows height, so I need to have a scroll bar that will scroll the data but not the header.I would not like to design my own scrollbar and rather use the scrollbar control for it, but when I put it in, I cannot use the NEW keyword.example:
Dim sb
As
ScrollBar
with this I get the error message: 'New' cannot be used on a class that is declared 'MustInherit'.How can I get a scrollbar on my form to scroll the list only (so not the header)?
This might seem like an odd question, but is there a way to make it so that any form that is created based on another, would have some comments in the code behind of the new form?
For example, i create a form called frmONE, and i put in code like this:
Overridable Sub frmONE_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Make sure you call these functions, in this order:

Does anyone know if you can index controls now in vb.net?You could do it in VB6 - where you would have 6 radio buttons and if you copied the 1st it would ask you did you want to index the control.So you would have optName(0), optName(1), optName(2).... optName(5)It was useful to do a select case on the controls or else do a For loop on them either.I can't see anyway to do this in vb.net now, is there a way to do it? Or a workaround for this?
View 5 RepliesI'm developing a chat system. In this I'm creating dynamic tab panels in a tab container when I change the selected index of the list box of users. In these tab panels I'm creating 2 text boxes and 1 button dynamically and adding a handler for the button click event. I'm storing the tabid's in the session state and recreating all the tabs in the page_init event. I can fire the button click event in the tab panel, in which I'm unable to access these dynamically created text boxes but I can access a label which I created statically. I used the findcontrol() method but it is showing an error message: "Use new command to create the textbox instances". It is showing something like I haven't created the instances of textbox.

Even in the count of any html controls it displays me 0. The page contains two frames and there is no "iFrames". Has Javascript got do anything with this?
View 2 RepliesI have an asp.net web forms application. In this application, students upload assignments and submit a survey along with it. For the survey, I read values from DB and dynamically generate ASP.NET Controls like radiobuttonlist, checkboxlist, textbox on the form during gridview's RowDataBound Event. I cannot do it in Page_Init method because I create only if a user click on a specific assignment which requires a survey to be submitted.
When I submit the survey form, the survey values are not saved into database. During debugging I figured it out that the values are not available in the codebehind page. The radiobuttonlist.selectedvalue returns and I get following error[code]....
How can I add controls to a form in code and set the properties of the controls using the With statement?Also I would like to know how to add a container control and then add a control to that container.
View 2 RepliesI have a slight problem With an enumaration of child controls on a form. The following code will not get but about have the controls that are on the form. The controls show that the count is correct but when it goes through the loop it skips over some of the controls. If you run it through the enumeration two or three times it will get all the controls a few at a time. The solution uses two forms, one that has the controls and the other that labels are made and displayed on. The Tx is just a index to add a number to the label.name and rename the label. So each label is identified seperately. This works for all the the controls that are seen in the for each loop.

In this pdf file, I have some fields which get their values from some texboxes in another form. My aim is, when the user triggers the button to call this form, it should insert the values inside the pdf file and display the output pdf inside the form.I have written the code to an extend but could not finish it myself after my many trials... Now here are the two things I cannot manage:I can use a directory to read the template pdf "untitled1.pdf". But my aim is to use the file inside my resources. can save the output file in a directory but this is not I want to do. I want to display the output pdf.
