I have some buttons, labels, datagrids, radiobuttons etc. on the front end of an application. Can anyone tell me how to make all the labels visible in the design view even if the focus is removed from those controls. The problem is once the focus is removed from the labels they do not appear in the screen.

I have a Form with a few GroupBoxes overlaying one another and being shown based on what the form's supposed to be showing at the moment.
What I want is to have a text object (label, textbox, whatever) be shown regardless of which GroupBox is visible at the moment. Labels that are not inside the GroupBox itself show up under it and are not visible (bringing to front doesn't help), similar issues with TextBoxes, Panels.. I don't know what else to use.
Am I missing something, is there another way of showing text that overlays GroupBoxes without being in them?

View 6 RepliesI'm using a picturebox to display the video captured from my webcam. I tried out two codes:
1) [URL]
The code in this forum by kaymaf. it does not work at all! there is no video displayed at all. Also, i'm currently using a PixeLINK 1394 Camera to get the video, but this is not shown in the list of cameras. It shows : Microsoft WDM image Capture (Win 32). Are these the same?
2) [URL]
This code works the first time i run it. But the second time it gives me a listbox of camera to choose from and then does not display any video. The screenshot is as displayed:
Is there any keyboard combination out there that I could just press to show the Design of the form while viewing its code? I just find it a pain to right click then pressing the icon.
View 2 RepliesSo I have this code to make a "windows taskbar". When you click on an item, it's supposed to bring that window to the front. The only problem is that's not happening. When I use Debug.WriteLine, it has the right window title, except it doesn't come to the front. What's wrong? There is no EntryPointNotFoundException or anything, it just doesn't bring the window to the front.

View 7 RepliesI am asked to write a front end program in VB 2005 (that will run in client computers which running on Win XP) to access an existing MySQL database running in Linux. It is not my preferred choice, but the user have the database and server working just as he wants it, and do not wish to change, at the same time I do not wish to change programming language. Is that even possible? Can we actually write VB 2005 programs that will run in client computers complete with NET framework 2.0 to access a Linux operating database?
View 4 RepliesWe are thinking about changing our current database system, MS Access 2007 front end and MS SQL Server 2005 backend to using a higher level language such as Visual Basic .Net. I wonder if this is the BEST solution for data management? Currently, among others, we have two big database programs that handle more than two hundred users and it's crashed often. That's the reason we think about changing to something that can handle these database programs effectively preferably using MS technology such as .Net.
View 12 RepliesI attached a picture of my existing panel with its controls in this thread, how do you copy it during run time? My project is a server/client application. whenever the client is connected and sends information to the server listening that information is displayed in the server but in a new panel with controls the same as the existing panel for the server, only the location and the information displayed is different. It would look something like in the 2nd attached picture.

View 8 RepliesI have just converted my first VB6 application to a VB Express version. I have a fair sized library that I would like to convert but I am having a severe problem with a very simple little game program that I selected for a trial conversion. The problem is this. I do a lot of graphic / art work in my GUI and heavily use labels with transparent backgrounds. When I converted to VB Exp 2005 the labels are no longer transparent but rather carry the background color attribute of the Form. Is this how MS implemented transparency in VB 2005? If so the product is of no use to me whatsoever. I checked the Labels attributes and they are set to transparent. But they are not being displayed as such.
View 3 RepliesA co-worker is having a problem trying to display the time in a label. He wants the AM/PM to display smaller than the time numerals. Neither of us knows of any way to change the font size within the same label, so we tried using two labels. That works for the different sizes, but we can't seem to get the appearance to 'flow' correctly without overlapping the labels, and then part of the text gets cut off.
We tried setting the padding to 0, but that still leaves a noticeable gap. We tried setting the background of the front label to transparent, but that didn't work for some reason. The left label (time) in right-aligned and the right label (AM/PM) is left-aligned, and that's as close as we can come.
Any way to either change the font size within one label or to overlap two labels without one obscuring part of the other? Or, maybe, a way to create a label so the text actually starts at the very edge of the label? (I'm doubting this last-I suspect the problem is that each character is defined, by the font, as occupying a 'block' of space.)
I am currently working on my program to click on the listview items.

I have 2 forms. The first form has a label on it. The second form has a combo box, a text box, and a button on it. In the second form, when I select the label name that I want to edit, I type in what I want to change the label name to in the textbox and I click the button. Now this goes through flawlessly except I want the combobox item to change to the NEW label name. I've been able to do that but when I close the form in run-time and open it up again, the previous label name appears once again. Is it possible to make the combobox add the new label name and KEEP it in its collection?
