VS 2005 - Gotchas With Docked Forms - Forms - Displayed Using Menu Items To Display Information To User
Nov 10, 2011
We have an application that has a main form with a map on it. Right now the paradigm is to have forms that are displayed using menu items to display information to the user. Most of these forms are modal forms, but a couple are non-modal forms that interact with the map. For some of the forms, it really would make for a better user experience if we could dock them in the main form of the app and allow the user to see both the form and the map. For instance. We could have a list of map features in a docked window, and select one of the items on the list and have the map zoom to that feature. Or do the reverse: let the users select a map item and have a docked window that shows details of the feature. Sounds great, but I wonder about what sort of gotchas we may encounter. In particular, what if we have two windows docked at the same time? Could we get tangled up in our event code?

My visual studio 2005 has been running great up till now The menu items in the menu toolbar display exactly as follows:File File Edit Edit View View File File Edit Edit View View Tools Tools Tools Tools Window Window Community Community Help Help Window Window Community Community Help Help
Error List is displayed as follows:(I've excluded the icons)0 Errors 0 Errors 0 Warnings 0 Warnings 0 Messages 0 Messages The standard toolbar images are also displayed in 'duplicate'
This is before I open a project and visual studio is on the start page. The 'duplicates' do not go away even when a project is open.When project is open, Solution explorer displays duplicate images as well
I've tried all the following but still cannot get it to display normally. Restored my computer to a time when it was working ok. Full scan on my computer with AVG premium which includes spyware etc (No viruses , etc found) All software is updated fully

I have created a form with a menu-strip containing sub-menus. The sub-menus will open on clicking the menu items but I am willing to display the sub menus on moving the cursor on menu items(mouse-hover). What will be the code for this? Is there any property in menu-strip to display like that?

I am currently working on a school database that I am having troubles with. I have the Table Adapters, Binding Source, and DataGridView all working, along with the Insert, Update and Delete Commands. I have the user open up the SubjectForm. On this form the user is looking at a DataGridView of the subjects table and everything that is in it. When the user clicks add new on the right side, it opens up a new form called AddNewSubject. When the user gets done adding the new subject in, a dialog box appears and says that the subject was added successfully. After the user clicks exit, it takes them right back to the SubjectForm where the DataGridView is. My question is, how do I update the data in that grid so that after the user clicks exit on the AddSubject Form, the new data will appear in the grid? I have tried a combination of things and they haven't worked. I will add my code at the bottom.[code]....

We have a browser in a panel that gets resized programatically. Unfortunately when the panel is larger or smaller than the nominal size of the web page visited by the browser, we either get a clipped image, or a lot of blank area. We would like to force the browser page to stretch to fill the available space when we dock the browser in the panel.

Example Form1 with data bound controls and a Public Variable Form1Var.Form2 with data bound controls and a Public Variable Form2Var DataTables are related Form2 Data is related to Form1 Data in a one-to-many.What I am trying to accomplish.When editing Form1 data there is a button to open Form2 if new data needs to be added. on closing Form2 I would like Form1 to remain at the state it was in before opening Form2. If I Change Visibility of Form1 when Form2 is opened upon Retun to Form1 Data is reloaded, if I minimise Form1 when Form2 is opened upon return to Form1 Public variables are reset to defaults.I have many Forms with many controls and buttons to do Lookups or additional add to related tables.

I'm getting a little fustrated, ive been trying to figure out how to allow my main from access to a sub form. what I'm initially aiming for is control of text and font color via a dialog on the main form and the results to appear on the second form, if that makes sense. Most of my knowlege resides around using VB.net for creating games and not progams. ill post the code so you guys might be able to get a better understanding of what im looking for as a result.

With VB6 and VB9, I continue to have problems displaying images on a form while playing wav files (either by API call or by My.Computer.Audio.Play method).I set up a loop to display pictureboxes on a form (card images), with a wav sound file that is supposed to be played each time a picturebox is displayed. However the pictureboxes won't display until after the loop finishes and the sounds have been played several times in series:Example
For I = 0 To 3
picBox(I).Visible = True ' picBox is an object collection of pictureboxes
My.Computer.Audio.

I'm developing a windows application. I have a form in which there is a list box and a treeview control. My purpose is to fill treeview according to list item clicks. This is done using a pair of subroutines called ReloadPermissions and FillMenuItem:
Private Sub ReloadPermissions()
Dim p As New Permissions
Dim i As Integer
Dim it As TreeNode
Dim el As New List(Of String)
[Code]...
There are only two subroutines in which nodes are added to treeview control, and they are subroutines above. The problem is that whenever list item is clicked, node count displayed in treeview is increased!!! I checked number of nodes before and after call to tvPermissions.Nodes.Clear() using MsgBox. Results show that number of nodes isn't increased (1 before call, 0 after call, again 1 after ReloadPermissions() is called), but what is displayed doesn't show such a behavior! Refreshing window by putting it under other windows or call to tvPermissions.Refresh() has no effect.

I'd like to disable the 'Refresh' option in the right-click menu for internet explorer. Our application uses Javascript, ASP.Net and VB, but I'm sure it'll need to be done through Javascript.

I am writing an application using Visual Basic Express 2008 and I need the right and the left mouse click to both act like the left mouse click. That is the right mouse click should not display a menu of any sort and be able to select items just as the left mouse click.
