View 4 RepliesI am pasting into a RTB from the clipboard and from different sources.At the end, I want to reformat the content of the RTB in a way that all font styles (such as bold, italic etc) remain unchanged, but only the line spacing gets uniform.
I do not find a way to change line spacing without changing the font (and at the same time removing all the bold and italic attributes)
I have controls like buttons, textboxes and all on all the forms in my project, by applying Application.EnableVisualStyles() before Main() Thread starts the controls will have look of XpStyles.
Suppose if i need the Font Size for all the Buttons in my project i need to write the Font Style Property on each form... but this process is very long as my project is big
is there any logic that without writing code on all the forms to update the button Font Size..
Ok i am making a game in visual basic where its 1998 and you have windows 95 and you find time travel software and travel to different time periods with different operating systems...so far i have coded windows 95 and partly windows 98 into the game and have a good time travel sequence... (this will be a completely free game in the future)
Theres just one major problem i have. Whatever operating system you are using for your current computer (windows 7 in my case) the buttons and tabs and everything else (apart from the windows border... or whatever you all it which i made myself) everything has the modern buttons on it.Hes an in game screen shot :As you can see it looks totally horrible... even the start menu has the windows 7 blue glow effect...I recently found another application (universe Sandbox) and it has the classic buttons even though i am using windows 7.how can i actually make my buttons classic? (without making picture boxes of each button)
im trying to change the colour of the progress bar for a custom control. ive tryed quite a few methords like using the sendingmessage function below:

End Function

but this didnt work for me i couldent see any change.
what would be the best way for me to change the forecolor for this control? i cannot use PercentFull.ForeColor as i will have xp styles enabled.
I'm Re-developing an old VB6 program that I wrote years ago.The program has a "feature" where is shells 6 applications 1 after another, the form hangs whilst it is processing all the commands.Is there a way in .net to "properly" queue a list of commands?I've seen numerous things about WaitForExit - but again this hangs the main form and would like to do it a bit more proper this time round.Can I use Backround Worker for this function or have I completely misunderstood?i can queue all my tasks in background worker and after each exit go onto the next app & report progress back into the main form.Is this the best way of doing this sort of thing?Is there any way to change how progress is reported.

View 4 Replieshow I can make a progress bar change colors while retaining the look of a Windows 7 Progress Bar. What I mean is, default it show the green. However, setting backcolor and forecolor does not affect the progress bar while XP styles is enabled.
What I am trying to do is make the progress bar the red progress bar if an error is encountered. I have the error solution set up, I just need it where the progress bar turns to red if the event of the download is stopped by internet connection being disconnected.

View 1 RepliesI have a filesystemwatcher which place files in a queue when they are created. From the queue the files are further processed (xml into SQL database).
The mechanism works fine, but I want to add a progress bar to follow the progress of the files in the queue: processing 1 of 10......2 of 10......3 of 10 etc.For testing, I created a batch file to simulate the creation of files, so the filesystemwatcher can to his work and place the files in the queue. When I tell the batchfile to simulate the creation of 20 files, I see that the amount of files in the queue change. For example;

In the app I'm currently making, I have two progress bars. One for current task being committed and the other is for overall progress.During runtime, I calculate how many tasks are being run and set that as the maximum. As each task completes, the progress bar is incremented by one.
I want the current task progress bar to show the progress of the current task. Some tasks can take a few minutes to complete so that progress bar works great. But, if the task is super quick, like editing registry keys, I see no progress at all.When I edit the registry, it basically goes like this:
'Edit Key
'x
'x
'x
ProgressBar1.PerformStep()[code].....
It completes so quickly that I never see the bar even move.I also have each task report its name into a label and it skips ahead so quickly that I only see the first task name and the last.Is there any way to make this do a better job at reporting the progress?
I came across a problem in my program it takes too long to calculate the values needed (about 10 sec) .But thats not the problem you don't know when the program is working or not, as it just locks up until its finshed and I view that as a problem.
I need to be able to show the progress of this .I looked at using background Workers but I get exception "Object reference not set to an instance" I believe this is because the background worker cannot write values or something ,As it works will a normal handler.

I have tried to research this in great detail, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do it.Many applications in Vista, such as those dealing with file system tasks, use a progress bar in either Green, Blue or Red depending on the the message it relays to the user.As far as Microsoft's MSDN online help can tell me I need to use PBM_SETSTATE to change the "state" or color of the progress bar.But I have only ever programmed in VB.net and I'm pretty much just a novice too..Does anyone know of any better online sources that can tell me how to change the "state" of a progress bar using vb.net.or MUST I change my style to C# / C++ ?? OR if I HAVE to use C, is there a way I can make something to include in my VB.Net Project that will do what I need it to?
View 9 Repliesi've been developing a usercontrol that uses a listbox with ownerdraw on. I need each element of the listbox to be expandable and thus - I need to draw an expand/collapse button ( [+]/[-] ) on each element. I've been using the Win32 DrawFrameControl function but it doesn't support XP styles apparently. So, the question is:Is there a way to make the DrawFrameControl API function draw elements using XP visual styles or should I use different API function? Is there some native .NET Framework functionality for something like this?
