Does anyone know how I can access the FontDialog's controls collection? I would like to disable the Font Style ListBox, set the Font Style's TextBox to readonly and disable the UnderLine and StrikeOut CheckBoxes.

View 3 RepliesI have an ASP.NET app with lots of textboxes all over the page that need updating at various points through program execution. These textboxes actually belong to a certain class, so for easy updating I thought I could create a Dictionary(Of string, object) and add the control.ID and the control to it and then for updating do something like this:

I used FontDialog to chose the font format. when I run the project I chose the font as TimesNewRoman 12, bold. after I run the project again it show me the defualt font in fontdailog. is it possible to save the font that I chosed (TimesNewRoman 12, bold) after I closed the project as a default font.
View 1 RepliesI'm a bit confused here. I'm copying all the controls from one form to a panel on the main form and for some reason only about half of them copy.
Private Sub switchComponent()
Dim selection As String = TreeView1.SelectedNode.Text
Panel1.Controls.Clear()[code]....
When stepping through the code, serverDic(selection).Controls has 12 elements, but only 6 of them get copied. Next time this gets called, only 3 get copied. Does Panel1.Controls.clear() somehow kill the references?
EDIT: Just to show that there are infact 12 elements in the collection:

I often see code snippets for handling each control of a certain type on a form or panel, etc.They always start with For Each ctrl and the do a test for control type.Many .NET users are not aware, as I was not until I tried it recently, that we can LINQ on the controls collection.Below is a simple sub I created for resetting every checkbox on a panel I use as a validator.

View 4 RepliesI am writing a simple control translation function that reads an XML file containing control names and their localized text. Within the application, each time a form is loaded, it iterates through every control and tests to see if that control is defined in the XML file. If it is, it then sets the control text to whatever localized text is defined in the XML file.
There are some tests and additional requirements (i.e. nested loops) for TabControl and MenuStrip etc., but the control that is giving me the most trouble is the ContextMenuStrip.[code]...
I am trying to add controls to a collection runtime(toolstripmenus to a menustrip) However, when I try to loop through the collection, it says something like: "Collection has been edited. Listing function cannot be done" (it's a free translation since i have a finnish VB)

Is there a way to check the controls collection for a specific id? Or am I going to have to write a sub to loop through the existing controls in the collection checking for the id.
I have a small piece of code that iterates through the controls collection on a panel (below) Everything works fine until I want to focus on a control that doesn't support the selectall method i.e. a datetimepicker. Is there any way of determining the type of control and not call the selectall method when the type is datetimepicker. All my other controls support it so that's the only one I need to exclude.

I need a function to be performed on the page load, which uses a stored session variable. I have added the following to my <body> tag.

This does work. However, it is causing a problem elsewhere, when I try to add a control to my controls collection:

I'm trying to make a collection class for buttons to address them as a whole, only I want to design the buttons at design time, and not add/set their properties programatically at runtime. Each button has its own image, so it doesn't seem right to add a bunch of lines of code which assign the properties when they're always going to be the same thing.Is it possible to create the controls at design time and then add them to an array at runtime? I did this, iterating through the buttons on the form and adding each of them to the class below.The problem is that once they're added they seem to be a different instance because changing their positions has no effect on the design-buttons on the form. Essentially i wanted the collection to be a reference to the items belonging to the form.Is that possible or should I be doing this a different way?[code]

View 4 RepliesI am trying to make a collection of controls that I can loop through. So I have this code in my form... Dim WizardFrameCollection As New Control.ControlCollection(Nothing)
I then try to add controls to the collection by I get a error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." WizardFrameCollection.Add(Me.GroupBox1) I am not sure why I am getting this error. Groupbox1 is a groupbox that is on the form.
I've been building controls for many years professionally and personally, but even back in VB6 days I just could not work this out. After all this time I remembered about it again.If I create a usercontrol/containercontrol and add one or more controls to the controls surface, I just cannot figure out how to access the controls at design time.
View 4 Repliesat some points, I need to call the same method on those controls (ex. user presses the clear button on the big control, I want to call the clear f(x) on each of the controls)I thought to toss the controls in a collection, and then be able to handle them something like this:
nextturns out, and I should have realized, methods and properties of controls are not exposed when treated this way. The only thing that can be seen is the stuff that the base class (control, I guess) has.
I have some code like this:
Dim col As Collection = New Collection
col.Add(value1, "key1")
col.Add(value2, "key2")
' later...
For Each item As String In col
' want to get valueX and keyX here; currently, "item" holds the value
Next
How can I get both the value and key within the loop? Maybe there is another class that makes this easier?

View 2 RepliesI am rather irritated at this. I have no clue why looping through controls on a form and in groupboxes leaves out 75% of the controls.
Here's the code I have:
Dim settings As String = ""
Dim gbControl As Control
Dim gbbox As Control
[Code]....
I want to have setting save all settings to an ini file, and not have to reprogram the saving routine when I add a group box or control. At random times, any number of controls can be disabled, checkboxes can be checked and unchecked, radiobuttons can be checked and unchecked. Regardless of the state of the control, I want the control to show up in the loop. But they don't. Only controls that are enabled and only checkboxes that are checked, every other control state is ignored. That's crap, and is definitely not what is needed by any programmer of any type. We're capable of determining if a control is enabled, hidden, checked, visible, and otherwise.
How do I get the controls to be included in the loop regardless of their state?
I am considering a piece of code that will manage access to a collection object from multiple threads - add, update, remove, clear. OK ... so I have put a sync lock within each method, but what is not clear from the MS documentation is exactly how the sync lock is behaving. Is it locking the piece of code it wraps? Or is it locking the object? And if it is locking the object a private static object should lock out any code locked on the object within all instances of the object? i.e. if an add operation is underway, an update, delete or clear will wait for the lock to be released.
Finally, if I have multiple threads contending for the sync lock, how is the release managed? First come, first serve? random (from my p.o.v)? Is there a chance that two separate threads could blunder into 'locked' code simulataneously?
I'm creating a reporting application, and our customers are going to need to generate some pretty big reports which require quite a bit of memory. Ive been in a re-factoring mood lately, so I was wondering what the best way to access the properties of another open form would be(The reporting viewer opens in a new form.) So far I have:
Dim form As MainSelections
form = My.Application.OpenForms(2)
yay or nay.
*Edit - I should probably mention that what I need is a label, two date time pickers, 5 datagridviews and a few datasets. Those cotrols have the info I use for my parameters
I am working with VS2005 using VB.net I have two project (Project A, Project B), project A is the startup project with form1, while project B is dependent on project A, both under the same solution. I have established the project dependencies so that Project B is now Dependent on Project A. Also i added references to both projects to each other so that i can access controls on Project B forms through Project A (Like changing the value of a textbox on B through A). My problem is that whie trying to access controls on Project B Forms it doesnot show up.
