some controls(e.g. buttons/labels) dont have a drawmode property. Im looking to create buttons with rounded corners because they just look nicer :P. Now, the problem is that even when you have a custom paint event, the button just gets drawn first and the custom paint event will draw on top. Especially with rounded corners, where you see the parts of the default button in the corners. Is there a way to only execute the custom paint event / block the default paint?
I placed this checkbox named owner on my form. When i build the project i got the error as Quote: 'owner' conflicts with property 'owner' in the base class 'Form' and should be declared 'Shadows'
I have a listbox which works perfectly fine in regular mode. I'm experimenting with the other modes which allow you to switch font.
As soon as I go to ownerdraw mode, either variable or fixed, it is blank when I try to add items to to it. It throws no error but just doesn't do anything. There has to be something else I have to do, to tell it how I want to display it. But I don't know what. I'm using version 2003 of .NET I'm using "Items.add" to add items.
I'm using this line to set font :
lbox.Font = New Font("Arial", 8.25, FontStyle.Bold, GraphicsUnit.Point, Nothing)
Then I'm setting it unbold later.Why is it working perfectly fine without owner draw? Granted it isn't changing the font but it's working fine. What do I have to do to make it work otherwise, so that I can change the font?It's pretty much a standard listbox, without many changes made to the properties.
I have created tooltips on a form from the toolbox and defined them as owner draw. I tied them to either a panel or a grid and they show up as black boxes the size that would contain the text that is assigned. If I had two areas next to each other, the text shows up. Neither the background or the forground color is black, so the black of the box is not from a color assignment. This has worked at one time and I do not know what changed.
If i have a NotifyIcon is it possible to owner draw the balloon tip for it?If not i was thinking it would have to be done this way:Work out if the icon is visible or not (as in not collapsed in windows vista / 7 / xp), and if not call ShowBalloonTip to force the icon visible then hide the balloon somehow. Work out the rect in relatio
(VS 2008, VB, 3.5 framework) Files have my name in the Owner property of the file, I want the owner value to be blank. I want to create a VB app that will loop through each file and clear out the owner property value. About 40 folders with about 20,000 files. What is the best way to loop through folders, and update files? Can the owner property value be set to blank?
I've been developing a progam at work and for some reason I set the TransparencyKey of my main form to a color rather than transparent.I left it and didn't even think about it until I noticed that the form had a delay when redrawing. All the controls are black boxes for a split second. See attachment.
I never noticed it before but the computers we use here at work aren't made for graphics. They've got various GHz speed celerons and integrated video cards.
I don't need the TransparencyKey in this program so it's not really an issue for me. I was just wondering if anyone knew why it's redrawing so slowly. What is .NET doing when drawing the form?

I have a problem using LVIF_IMAGE as a mask to the subitem, the icon is drawn but the icon's transparency is disregarded, that is there is a square around the icon when it is being drawn. And I would like to be able to draw multiple icons in the same subitem and apparently LVIF_IMAGE will not be able to do that.I have been searching for other means and learned that I could ownerdraw the subitem like the following. But the problem now is that only the first column is being selected when I click on a row even if FullRowSelect is true.[code]I just want to be able to set or draw icons to a subitem,

I am not sure whether this is a trick question?One of the object i have has 2 boolean properties, Standing and Sitting.I have a class called student with the 2 methods stated below- Am I coorrect is assuming that the first method draw() is affected by the standing property AND not the second method?Also the way it affects is that it draws an image when the the stugent is standing?
Currently use word automation to mail merge some documents and print etc. A stand alone PC manage this, which means that when the document gets sent to the print queue it always has an 'owner' of the name of the stand alone PC.
In explorer if you right click a file and select Security->Advanced it tells you the owner (the person who wrote the file or took ownership of it). How do I get this info from code?
I am trying to open a form by using "form3.ShowDialog(Me)". Here "Me" refer a child form of Project's MdiForm. When i try to get form3's owner it returning the Mdiform name. My code is as follow:
''' Code in my MdiFrom to open the first child form Dim ObjForm1 as Form1 ObjForm1.MdiParent = MdiParentForm
I'm currently working on a project in which at one point, the user may right click a button which brings up a contextMenuStrip. I am already able to find the owner accurately from that strip, and manipulate the button clicked as follows:
Dim myItem As ToolStripMenuItem = CType(sender, ToolStripMenuItem) Dim cms As ContextMenuStrip = CType(myItem.Owner, ContextMenuStrip) Dim buttonPressed As DataButton = DirectCast(cms.SourceControl, DataButton)
But now for the tricky part. Within this contextmenuStrip, I have a DropDown menu with multiple items in there. I would assume you would be able to work your way up the ladder doing casts like above in the manner of
Unfortunately, when I try to get the sourcecontrol from this menuStrip, it return Nothing. Any ideas on how I can get the button that was pressed from this toolStripMenuItem? My current code is as follows (in which the sourceControl is Nothing)
Dim myItem As ToolStripDropDownItem = CType(sender, ToolStripDropDownItem) Dim dropDown As ToolStripDropDownMenu = CType(myItem.Owner, ToolStripDropDownMenu) Dim menuItem As ToolStripMenuItem = CType(dropDown.OwnerItem, ToolStripMenuItem) Dim cms As ContextMenuStrip = CType(menuItem.Owner, ContextMenuStrip) Dim buttonPressed As DataButton = DirectCast(cms.SourceControl, DataButton)
how to go about doing what I did in that first method, but just working my way up from further down the ladder?
How to get the user/owner name of a process in vb.net?The reason I need it is because I developed an application,which I will put on the winnt enviroment, I want to allow multiple instance.but only allow one single instance per user.I am using Application.Run(MyMainForm) to start my application
I understand that I need to run ... corflags.exe /32BIT myapp.exe against my VB .Net app if I want to make sure it's associated 32 bit dll's will be forced to run as 32 bit on 64bit computers.
If this will work this looks like a good idea to me since I don't have the opportunity to recompile them on a newer Visual Studio that supports targeting 32bit. But I have a couple of questions...
Question 1:Is there an easier way to get the corflags.exe program without having to download the whole .Net Frameword 2.0 SDK?
I guess this is what I need to download if there is no easy way to get the corflags.exe file...

I need to get the DataGridView to perform the way it should perform. I'm new to the .NET environment, but I learn fairly quickly. However, I find it difficult to decipher themassive black box of the DataGridView control enough to make it do anything other than what it already does--Draw very slowly.
I have a ContextMenuStrip and a ListBox. I have the context menu connected to the listbox. The menu has two items, Select All and Deselect All. I want to select/deselect all the items in the listbox when a button is clicked. I have done this before for a CheckedListBox but cannot remember how.
ok here is the thing, in my application there is 2 forms, in the main one (not an MDI)it has some textboxes and a picture box, the other small form contains only a ser enters his search criteria in the textboxes in the main formand presses a button to show the results,t opens the second form and displays the results inthe listview(results are names of pictures).
I am creating a report in my asp.net application. The report outputs to excel using the excel interop. Some calculations in the report cause excel to display "Inf" or "NaN" I want to force these calculations to zero so that the report displays zero and NOT "Inf" or "NaN"
The only way I know to force a paint event in my pictureboxes is to do a 'Picturebox1.invalidate'. I read that this isn't the best way to do it though, so what's the best way to make my picture boxes repaint?
I am using VB.Net 2008 Express on Windows XP, and am trying to use WM_LBUTTONDOWN in one of my programmes.
CODE:
This appears to work correctly, in that it goes to the Exit button and I can see the effect of WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_LBUTTONUP, but the programme does not actually exit; it just sits there with the Exit button highlighted. I added all the TimeDelay() subs to see whether it needed the extra time.
I also made the following changes, and again, it goes to the Exit button and I know that it is on the button using Spy++, but the programme does not actually exit
