Custom Fonts Loaded As Resource
Aug 2, 2011I am trying to use custom fonts in my VB.NET application which are resources in my project as opposed to fonts that are installed on the system. I found a great example which works great for labels, however, I am having difficulty extending this functionality to other controls, such as listbox. I have seen other examples which get the font resource and dump it temporarily to a file, and then make reference to it, which I want to avoid. Hoe to extend this logic to other controls, such as listbox.

[2005] Custom Scroll Bar For MDI Parent?
Oct 15, 2008i have a MDI Parent. As you know a MDI parent can have scroll bars. I want to make customized scroll bars. Meaning instead of windows default scroll bars i want just to images / buttons (arrows (up/down)) that when clicked will scroll up and down, and then others for left and right...
How do i do this? I dont want windows default scroll bars to appear.. i know can disable them but then is there a property / method to scroll in a direction, let my code do the work.... i would also then want it so as you scroll my custom scroll buttons wont go away, as you scroll they should stay in the same spot.. i think i can do that by a panel and docking, so that isnt important.

View 6 RepliesSet Custom Papersize To Printer From Code In .net 2005?
Mar 11, 2010we have a vb.net windows appliacation that uses sql server as backend. we have created all reports for this application using crystal report that is embedded in visual studio 2005. everything is working fine except the reports specially which needs to be displayed is custome mode. we have used some code to dynamically set the printer settings because at runtime the original printer settings are unknown and we don't want to let user set printer settings manually everytime before taking the printout. so the question is, how to set a custom papersize programactically. here is the code snippet that we have used to set some printer settings in runtime :-
rpt.PrintOptions.PrinterName = Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("DefaultPrinter")
rpt.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape
rpt.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperFanfoldUS
we have usedreportdocument object to set printer options. we have two rpts which need to displayed in custom paper format. the formats are like 9X6 and 14X12. we have created these formats in server properties. now how to to set this from code? like in place of rpt.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperFanfoldUS...some sort of syntax which will let us to put the papersize in place ofPaperSize.PaperFanfoldUS...
VS 2005 - Creating Array Of Custom Controls?
Nov 6, 2009I am creating an array of customer controls by doing the following:
Dim CtlLosArray(150) As Control
Then I'm setting up the first control in the array like this:
CtlLosArray(1) = New ShieldLOSInfobox
CtlLosArray(1).Location = New Point(0, 0)
CtlLosArray(1).Visible = True
CtlLosArray(1).Show()
CtlLosArray(1).Name = "Label1"
Me.pnlLOS.Controls.Add(CtlLosArray(1))
Now on this custom control I have a panel and a few text boxes and as you can see I may be adding about 150 of these custom controls. What I am wanting to do is to be able to access that control then the item on that control based on the array. Something like the following:
CtlLosArray(1).Controls.Item(Panel1).backcolor = Color.Yellow
But the above does not work. How I can access a specific item on the customer control within the array?

View 8 RepliesVS 2005 - Top Of The Panel To Bump Up Against The Bottom Of The Custom Control?
Mar 23, 2009I created a custom control. I put it on a form with Dock = Top. I place a standard Windows Panel below it and set it's Dock = Fill. I would expect the top of the Panel to bump up against the bottom of the custom control, but instead, it goes underneath it and jumps all the way to the top of the form. This behavior does not seem to exist if I place two Panels on the form and set one to top and the other to fill. The second one bumps up against the bottom of the first one, as I would expect. But my custom control (from UserControl) does not seem to work this way. Do I have to set something special on my control?

this is affecting the last_update_date and last_updated_by fields of my tables. i need to only affect records that were manually changed. can anyone help me? also, any date field should be bound to the Value property of this control instead of Text. haven't figured out how to remove the Text from bindable properties yet.
VS 2005 - How To Make Custom Base Classes Available To Future Programs
Oct 22, 2010I have written multiple programs in the past that deal with cad data. Points, lines, arcs, etc. For each program I ended up creating slightly different versions of some really base classes like a class that defines a point:
<Serializable()> Public Class Point
Public x As Double = 0
Public y As Double = 0
Public z As Double = 0
End Class
My question is how would I use that class in such a way that it could be in a namespace and imported into any future project that I write?

How do I do this so it is gone and would have to recreate it to show up again?
[2005] Making A Custom Render - Allows The End User To Format The Text
Mar 6, 2009I'd like to make a custom control that allows the end user to format the text, similar to an HTML or RichText control. The idea is that it will be static like a label, but allow end user to specify certain tags around words to make them bold, italic, underline, hyperlink, etc, either at design time or runtime. My question more specifically is how to best approach this. My intention is to use GDI+ methods, like DrawString, etc. But my concern is the inefficiency of having to parse the text each Paint cycle to determine which tags are present in order to use the correct font style, etc. I'm not really asking HOW to do this, but more of a hint on which architectural approach to take on this. Maybe there is already some examples of this out there?
