I have created a usercontrol in VB2008 that draws a rectangle and has the ability to apply Border3DStyles to the control.The problem I have is being able to select which sides to apply the border on during design time.If you look at the BorderSides property of the ToolStripStatusLabel you will see how it lets you select the sides to apply the border to.
View 5 RepliesI have a problem with a property on a custom property of a class. Here is the actual code for the inherited form
Public Class Form : Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Private _Active_Application As Custom.Classes.Active_Application = New Custom.Classes.Active_Application
<System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsable(ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Always)> _
Public Property Active_Application() As Custom.Active_Application

but when i use a separate class to inherit the above class this property ('Active_Application', not Custom.Classes.Active_Applicaton) is disabled.
I have made a usercontrol, it has a property that has a PictureBox datatype. When the usercontrol is dropped on a Form from the toolbox, I want the picturebox property (in the property window) to be showing all the picture boxes (names) that are on the form as a dropdown so I cant select them. How do I do that?
View 6 RepliesIf you have a Component (or Control) with a public property of type Control, then in the Properties Window you automatically get a drop down of all the controls on the same form as the component, which is very handy. If you want to do the same thing but with an array of controls then the Properties Window shows the ellipsis and you get the Collection Editor with the Add / Remove buttons creating and deleting an instance of Control (i.e. the base class used for deriving all the others) - not quite so handy.
How do I get a list of the controls on a form and be able to select more than one? I think I need to create a custom UITypeEditor? Assuming that's right then I think I need a dialog box (like the Font dialog) with Available and Selected ListBoxes with Add / Remove buttons and appropriate code to link the control array in the component to changes in the Selected list box? Along with an appropriate UITypeEditor derived class.
Assuming that's correct, how do you get a list of the controls on a form at design time? Can I do that form design as a Windows Form, just as normal, or is it all done by hand? I've seen some code that does it with a UserControl rather than a Form, presumably that's for when you want a 'pop-up' control (like the one for Color selection)?
We have a Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid control that we use to edit application settings. We expose the application settings through a class, giving each setting attributes to control the appearance. An example property definition is shown below:
<DisplayName("Snap Tolerance"), _
Category("Tolerances"), _
Description("The distance (in Points - 1/72"") to be searched for snap points.")> _

Well i have a usercontrol with a property "ClientScript" and in the aspx file where i use the usercontrol i set the value to [code]the problem here is that the is litterly passed to the property and not parsed first and replaced by the ClientID..I had the same clientscript applied to a buttons OnClientClick and there it worked...Must i apply some sort of attribute to the property to get this working? [code] i know that im saving to a local variable and that it will be cleared on reload and so on but thats not the problem here.
View 1 RepliesI have a control with a inner TextBox. I want to make a direct relationship between the Text property of the UserControl and the Text property of the TextBox. The first thing I realized is that Text was not being displayed in the Properties of the UserControl. Then I added the Browsable(true) attribute.
[Browsable(true)]

I am making an UserControl which has several properties. One of them should have a specific range of the value - it should only be possible to set the value of the property with a number from 1 to 255. 0 should not be possible, because some calculations are done in which is divided by this property's value. I thought I could use a Byte as type, but a Byte can contain 0 as well. I would like to be able to set a limit for the value of this property, and that an error is shown in the Designer when, in this case, 0 is entered. I mean an error window like you get when filling in 0 for the interval of a Timer. Is this possible with an UserControl as well?
View 2 RepliesI/we (my class) created a usercontrol that included a picturebox and a timer. We declared the public variable to access the timer enabled property. Placing the user control onto a Form we are able to enable the timer. However, when we went to declare an array for the control we could not access the properties... We successfully declared control arrays using base class control...

In the book I am reading the writer shows code for adding the WordWrap property to a class which inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl. But what is the point? There is nowhere to insert strings! Also he shows how to add an event by embedding a Combo in an instance of the class and using its SelectedIndexChanged event to raise the event for the UserControl; again what is the point?
View 5 RepliesI have an imagelist control in a usercontrol I made. I would like to create a property for this usercontrol, to select multiple images (in an 'openfiledialog'), and adding them to the imagelist inside the usercontrol. So, what's the type of this property?
Public Property thelistofimages as [?]
It should be an array of images I guess. And then in the 'set' of the property it would add all the images to the imagelist.
defauld the usercontrol create(when is used) the backgroundimage property, but these property can be blocked? i'm asking these, because i need the entire control in that property

I have two UserControls already loaded how to change TextBox text property on a UserControl from the other loaded one.
View 1 RepliesI have been making a control and have added a property for a list(of CustomClass). The custom class contains a string, an image and a list of another custom class which contains a string and an image. I have added this property to the designer by adding the browsable attributes and all appears to work correctly with this.
My problem comes when running the program. I can set all of the values within the property and I can go back to them and they are saved, however, as soon as I run the program, the values are wiped out as the property is set to Nothing.In order to allow my property to be edited and saved, I realize that I must initialize the list and have done so in the accessor method of the property (if the property's value is nothing).
I have modified the values in the designer and placed a breakpoint on all of the items which use the property and it's underlying field, as well as on the property's methods itself. The first breakpoint hit is of it being accessed and the value is always nothing.
I'm not sure where the values are supposed to be stored as I have checked the designer code where it would normally store types such as strings and I have checked the resources to see if they have been saved there (like an image would be). After running the code, the values in the designer are wiped out also.

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.

How do I reference a text box that is on DataEntryUC from NavSaveUC?

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

I just discovered the joys of UserControl's and I was wondering if it is possible to populate the usercontrol with data from a database in the UserControl's Form.Load event instead of the form the userControl is placed on. I feel it would make using the control a lot easier if it just populated itself without anymore code.I tried it with a ListView but it gave me a bunch of errors, so I didn't know if it had to be done a certain way or if it was just one of those things that doesn't work no matter what.
View 8 RepliesI'm having some very weird issues with interfaces right now.
I have a very simple setup. In one of my class, I have a Property implementing a Property from an Interface.
In my class it's like:
Private _oForm As IForm
Public Property Form As IForm Implements IContainer.Form
Set(value As IForm)
[Code]...
I have like dozens of interfaces like this working throughout my project and I can't believe this simple one can't work!
Is there a way for implementers of an interface where a ReadOnly property is defined to make it a complete Read/Write Property ?
Imagine I define an interface to provide a ReadOnly Property (i.e., just a getter for a given value) :
Interface SomeInterface
'the interface only say that implementers must provide a value for reading
ReadOnly Property PublicProperty As String
End Interface
This means implementers must commit to providing a value. But I would like a given implementer to also allow setting that value. In my head, this would mean providing the Property's setter as part of the implementation, doing something like this :
Public Property PublicProperty As String Implements SomeInterface.PublicProperty
Get
Return _myProperty

I searched on the forum / Internet for the solution how a PropetryInfo object (of a Public property) can reveal if it has a Private Protected Setter ... it was all in vain .... all help I found was about how to "Set" value of a public property having a Private Setter.I would like to know if I have a PropertyInfo object of a public property, how would I know if its Setter is Non Public?
I tried, in a exception handling block, where I did a GetValue of the PropertyInfo object and then called SetValue by setting the same value back... but to my surprise it worked well and didn error out.
