UserControl Expose FONT Properties
Jun 23, 2009
Creating a usecontrol:
The control will have numberous properties available at design and run time.
I am having trouble creating and exposing FONT properties for the child objects.
Example: The control will have a label with a designtime and useradjustable Display font. I wish to
1) be able to set the Font attributes via the properties dialog at design time.
2) set those properties via GUI at runtime.
The problem...
Code:
Private propArtistHeaderFont() As Font
Public Property ArtistHeaderFont() As Font
Get
[Code].....
So clearly I can not pass the FONT properties back and forth via the SET/GET method.

I am attempting to do something which isn't particularly obvious (to me at least). Digging around on the web I located the following sample (notice the font sample appears in the list on the left?).[URL] Now I know how to use the font dialog from VB.Net, but don't know the appropriate property to set to get the example to show in the listbox/listview? I set the same properties as the author but it shows a plain text font. I am basically attempting to save my users from having to click through every font to see what they each look like.

I have a Windows Form frmMain() holding seven more-or-less unrelated UserControls, ucFlopsy", "ucMopsy", "ucCottontail", etc...I say "more-or-less" because each of the seven UC has three similar public read/write properties:
IsLocked (a boolean indicating if the following two properties are "Locked")
IsLockedID (if IsLocked=True then IsLockedID is an integer)
IsLockedName (if IsLocked=True then IsLockedName is a string)

I maintain a WinForms application that uses a third party COM component. We recently upgraded to a new version of the component with some additional properties/features (all old properties are intact), but I could not get Visual Studio to detect the new properties. It acted very much like it was hanging onto a reference to the old version of the component. Here are the steps I took to try to clear it:
Deleted the form that was consuming the component (copied out code first). The only control on this form was the third party component.
Removed the reference to the old component Deleted the bin and obj folders in the solution directory so that the PIA's would get newly created when I added the new control Uninstalled the old component, installed the new one Opened the solution, added the reference to the new component Added a form to the application, dropped the component onto the form and gave it the same name the old control had (so that the rest of the application didn't have to be refactored Pasted the form code back in place At that point the application would compile and run, but I could not get Intellisense to detect the new properties, and if I put them in place anyways the application would not compile. Nothing I tried would get the new properties to show.

I've got a WPF control hosted inside a Windows Forms form via ElementHost. My WPF control (let's just call it WpfControl for the sake of an example) contains a variable that I'd like to expose to my Form.

I have a usercontrol that has a main form and calls another form within the usercontrol to get some data from a database that allows the user to select some items from a CheckedListBox control on the sub form. I want to pass the selected items from the CheckedListBox back to the main form and display the results there. I have a public property called DBList of type List(of String) on the main user control. If I create a reference to the usercontrol form the second form within the usercontrol I get a new instance of a user control. All I want to do is set the property on the usercontrol and close the secondary form. How do I reference the usercontrol from the form within the usercontrol?
Code in UserControl:
Public Property DBItems() As List(Of String)
Get
Return DBItems

at some points, I need to call the same method on those controls (ex. user presses the clear button on the big control, I want to call the clear f(x) on each of the controls)I thought to toss the controls in a collection, and then be able to handle them something like this:
nextturns out, and I should have realized, methods and properties of controls are not exposed when treated this way. The only thing that can be seen is the stuff that the base class (control, I guess) has.

I'm trying to use Linq to loop through all fonts in the %windir%Fonts folder and find the one that has a property title of "Arial" (or any Font Family name supplied), but I can't seem to access the font properties (things like "Title", "Font style", "Designed for", etc.).
The following is only giving me the basic file info:
Dim fontDir = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir") & "Fonts"
Dim fontFiles = From file In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(fontDir)

I have two classes clsRoute and clsStop. Each route has a collection of stops. So I created a Stops collection in the route class and a method to add stops and remove stopsThis seems to work for me. owever, the clsStop properties that I declared are not showing in intellisense.i.e. oRoute.Stops.item(i).StopName and oRoute.Stops(i).StopName
Public Class clsStops
Private _stopNumber As Integer = 0
Private _stopName As String = String.Empty

I am trying to develop a control that'll allow the developer to populate a collection through markup (e.g. Properties decorated with the attribute PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty). I have an example from Brian Chavez that more or less does what I want but I want to have the control inherit from UserControl and not Control.Here is the code I have in vb.net:
AggregateFeeds.ascx.vb
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
<ParseChildren(True)>
<PersistChildren(False)>
Public Class AggregateFeeds
[Code]...
As it is now when I try to compile I get a compiler error that simply says object instance not set to an instance of an object on the line above. If I take it out, the page loads just fine and the Settings object reflects the values in the markup. Why am I having trouble getting the collection to populate correctly?

I'm trying to create a UserControl in ASP.NET to display news items based on two values that are passed in, NewsTag and ItemLimit. The problem is that the SQLdatasource is not picking up the properties in SqlDataSource1_Init. Instead the calls to the properties are empty when this is called but after render have values.
<script runat="server">
Public Property NewsTag() As String

Is there any simple way to hide all the design time properties of a User Control.
When my UC is on a form there's a lot of properties in the properties explorer. All those default ones that every UC has. AccessibleName, AccessibleRole, Anchor etc etc etc (dozens of the them)
Any way to hide most/all those and just expose my own ?
I suppose I want my User Control to be more like a 'Component' like the Timer and other components that don't have a UI. Short of rewriting my UC as a Component is there any quick way to hide all those form properties ?

I can create a Custom UserControl with simple properties (Integer, String, etc) and have those properties show up in the Property Panel. I can also create a Custom UserControl with properties like Size, Rectangle, etc and the properties will show up as an expandable item in the Property Panel (click on the '+' and the Size expands to Width & Height).
Is it possible to create properties with my own custom structure? e.g. Property 'Message' expands to Text, ForeColor, BackColor, Blink etc. I have tried creating a property that references a simple class or structure with containing the properties representing my custom structure but in the Property Panel the property is greyed out and cannot be expanded or modified.

limit the default events, properties and methods exposed from a UserControl so it only displays to the developer the new events etc that I code myself.What i mean is I have created a UserControl with a panel and 5 buttons, written 1 Public Eventonly at this stage, I have placed an instance of the control on a form in a new project, but in the drop down menu that comes up after say (myUserControl1.), there is a massive list of options, I don't want those to appear.

How would I set a Font Properties DefaultValue.
I am currently using:
Dim f as Font = New Font("Tahoma", 8.25!)
then in the property:
<DefaultValue(GetType(Font), "f")>
But the property defaults to "Franklin Gothic Medium" when I rightclick it and select Reset.

In VB6 I would simply retrieve the user font setting from the .ini file, load into variables and then apply to the appropriate control.
text1.fontbold = userfontbold
text1.fontitalic = userfontitalic
text1.fontunderline = userfontunderline
etc.
I'm struggling to understand how to do this vb.net The following code works, but sets all three at one time
Text1.Font = New Font("Courier", 10, FontStyle.Bold Or FontStyle.Italic Or FontStyle.Underline)Since the user can have many different combinations of settings, I would like to be able to add just one of these properties at a time, but can't seem to figure out how to do it.

i want to create a html editor. to get started, i want the app to be able to find certain words, and change the font/color/size/etc. as for <a href=""><b> and so on, without changing the rest of the text after the selected text was modified. i'm sure that it has something to do with RichTextBox1_TextChanged for text that is being typed and just a button click for modifying selected text.

I have a Windows Form that contains a custom control container as a UserControl. For the sake of this question, this custom control container is called Dashboard. This container called Dashboard contains numerous other controls depending on their permissions. I need to raise events that are contained on these controls through the Dashboard control and over to the Windows Form.
How can I bubble up the event? I'm using VB.NET for this project, but can convert C# into VB.NET.Also, to complicate matters, the main Windows Form is a VB6 project. So, I'm using the InteropFormsToolkit to accomplish this.

I have two UserControls on a MasterPage. DataEntryUC contains several TextBoxes and DropDownList. NavSaveUC contains navigation buttons. When the user clicks on a navigation button, I will be saving the data entered into DataEntryUC from the NavSaveUC UserControl.
I have a couple of tables in my DB that contain stored procedure names, control names, control types, SqlDbTypes, etc.... that correlate with DataEntryUC.
How do I reference a text box that is on DataEntryUC from NavSaveUC?
I have been working on the following code from NavSaveUC with no luck.
Dim MyControlName = "txtFirstName"
Dim MyControlType = "TextBox"
Dim MyStringValue as String
