how do i make i VB .net application/tool (any sort of) like a professional one, for eg. if my tool is doing some task when i click a button which takes say 1-2 mins. , then during that phase my app should not look like it's hung (plain white window) if you know what i mean . All i'm asking is the logic for keeping my front end viewable & refreshed (possibly wit ha progressbar) while something carried out in background which takes couple of mins.
I have used flash(.swf) animation & high quality graphical image there in my vb.net application. But problem is that sometimes when I click on menu it shows small line under it & take time to load it. It shows line under menu when load another forms though there is no line under that menu. I have 25 forms & every form has high quality image(image size is 1280*1024). Is there any way to get rid of this problem? Is there any way to make my application smooth though its high graphical & animated?

I'm using VB.net 2010 and WPF 4. I need to have a smooth transition between two videos played on the mediaelement. I absolutely cannot use anything that requires me to use a winhost in the WPF window, as that will make my project impossible (since the video is full screen, and the controls are over the video)Basically, I need for the video to play through, and then smoothly go to another video specified in code behind. I cannot splice the two videos together - they must be separate.How do I have the videos transition smoothly, with no "blink"?
I have took a little research, but I couldn't find the answer. I am looking for code that when I input the textbox something like in the first letter "a,b,c,d,e or whatever it goes", find the match of the listview items that come with the same text property of the textbox while hide the unmatched listview items.
However, I used this:
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged Dim i As Integer
I'm not sure if I'm to post it here or in an other forum, but i will give it a try here So, as the title says: i want to add smooth scrolling text to my program. But i want to use java,php,xhtml or what else there is.I fund one example in the source to Mozilla FireFox 3.7 Alpha 5. The example is attached and is the file that contains the credits(.xhtml file in a .zip archive )
I guess i could just change the display-text to what ever i want, but i don't really know how to add it to my program.Well, take a look at the attached file and see what you can come up with(just open the file in your browser and it should start scrolling after a little while) Attached File(s)Credits.zip (6.07K)Number of downloads: 445

I'm a moderate (self taught) skill level programmer, developing a piece of software to display information on a Large-screen LCD Display using VB.Net 2008 in Visual Studio 2008 Pro, this is a WinForms project targeted for the .NET 3.5 framework.I have a WebBrowser Control (docked into a disabled panel on the form) which is used to playback a powerpoint presentation, on a fullscreen, borderless form.I need this to be resizeable/ movable, depending on the other information I need to display. If I just resize/move the control, but looks horrible, so I would like to animate this resizing.The WebBrowser control will be, by default, in the top right quarter of the screen, resizing to fill the screen as and when needed (so the control will need to scale up in size, and move left at the same time).I've tried to loop through a resize in increments, but the browser resize flickers, although the powerpoint inside it appears to look OK. Is there any way to make this a nice, smooth resize, without the flickering?

I am doing a project. I want smooth progress bar that shows progress of EACH loop. Lets say I have a loop, (the amount of steps of loop is dynamically determined according to input of the user) but each loop will perform 4 or 5 steps.
Like collect data into string RegEx Submit form to http using web.UploadData Get result data Arrange data using regex Display output in a multi line text box ( append data for each loop)
Now as I said there are unknown amount of loops that will perform above steps. What I am trying to do is : make a smooth progress bar which will show progress of one loop and then reset to zero and start over again as second loop is started. Like this : ProgressBar.Maximum = 100 ProgressBar.Step = 25 ( for 4 steps ) For each data in dataArray [Code] .....
Now I want progress of each step displayed in the progress bar smoothly. Like the one when we copy a big file to another location. Each loop takes about 5 - 10 second time (depending on the internet speed, as it submits a form and gets output.

I have a form positioned slightly above the taskbar/system tray in the bottom right corner of my desktop window.It's sort of like a pop-up notification.The notification itself looks great,but there's a button on it which resizes the form up, animating the sizing in increments of 5px whilst keeping it's position relative to the bottom-right corner of the screen.
The problem with this is that it doesn't look very smooth. Adjusting Me.Width resizes from the left so you have to then move the form to the left with Me.Left to compensate. Me. SetBounds just seems to be a wrapper for setting those properties anyway.Is there anything I can do to have the form smoothly (or at least appear to) resize outwards from the left of the form?
I have a DataGridView with two columns. One is DataGridViewComboBoxColumn and other is DataGridViewButtonColumn. To capture the button click from the DataGridViewButtonColumn, i have written the CellClick event and it is working fine. However, this is not making my selection from the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn 'smooth'. What i mean is that i have to click on the combo-box twice for it to show the drop-down list. I have noticed that at every click, CellClick is fired. But only after the second click the drop-down pops out. What is the work-around for this?
I am creating a windows form background image, but when it use to a form it's look very bad in the edge, it don't smooth. Using VB only. I tried use alphablend but how.
