I am trying to add an ArrayList property to a UserControl with the following
Private _hist As ArrayList
Public Property History() As ArrayList
Get
Return _hist
End Get
[Code]...
I get an 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error.
I have an imagelist control in a usercontrol I made. I would like to create a property for this usercontrol, to select multiple images (in an 'openfiledialog'), and adding them to the imagelist inside the usercontrol. So, what's the type of this property?
Public Property thelistofimages as [?]
It should be an array of images I guess. And then in the 'set' of the property it would add all the images to the imagelist.
I have a TabControl on a UserControl. I want the UserControl to behave like a TabControl as usual (it contains only the TabControl and a Contextmenu), including Design-time behavior.I have spent the last two weeks finding out how to add the Design-time behavior and I think I have come a far way.The problem is with adding TabPages during Design-time (while the UserControl is a custom tabcontrol, it is using regular windows forms TabPages).In the Designer class, I have the following code to add a TabPage:
vb.net
Dim dh As IDesignerHost = DirectCast(GetService(GetType(IDesignerHost)), IDesignerHost) If dh IsNot Nothing Then Dim i As Integer = tc.SelectedIndex Dim name As String = GetNewTabName() Dim tab As TabPage = TryCast(dh.CreateComponent(GetType(TabPage), name), TabPage) tab.Text = name tc.Controls.Add(tab)
[code]....
So it would add the control to the TabPages collection if it was a TabPage, and use the regular routine otherwise.
(I'm now using 'tc.Controls.Add(tab)' again instead of 'tc.tabCtrl.TabPages.Add')
But, I don't think the designer even gets that far because it is telling me I cannot add TabPages to my usercontrol, because only TabControls can accept TabPages... How can I make my usercontrol understand that it is a TabControl (without Inheriting from a TabControl?)

I have made a usercontrol, it has a property that has a PictureBox datatype. When the usercontrol is dropped on a Form from the toolbox, I want the picturebox property (in the property window) to be showing all the picture boxes (names) that are on the form as a dropdown so I cant select them. How do I do that?

View 1 RepliesI have a control with a inner TextBox. I want to make a direct relationship between the Text property of the UserControl and the Text property of the TextBox.

I have created a usercontrol in VB2008 that draws a rectangle and has the ability to apply Border3DStyles to the control.The problem I have is being able to select which sides to apply the border on during design time.If you look at the BorderSides property of the ToolStripStatusLabel you will see how it lets you select the sides to apply the border to.
View 5 RepliesI am making an UserControl which has several properties. One of them should have a specific range of the value - it should only be possible to set the value of the property with a number from 1 to 255. 0 should not be possible, because some calculations are done in which is divided by this property's value. I thought I could use a Byte as type, but a Byte can contain 0 as well. I would like to be able to set a limit for the value of this property, and that an error is shown in the Designer when, in this case, 0 is entered. I mean an error window like you get when filling in 0 for the interval of a Timer. Is this possible with an UserControl as well?
View 2 RepliesI got a user control that has a few links, one of them is "add article". It's placed on top of the article and bottom of it. When the user clicks on it, the text changes to 'article added'.
But the text only gets changed for one of the links which has been clicked on. How can I make it so that both text changes no matter which one gets clicked?
I/we (my class) created a usercontrol that included a picturebox and a timer. We declared the public variable to access the timer enabled property. Placing the user control onto a Form we are able to enable the timer. However, when we went to declare an array for the control we could not access the properties... We successfully declared control arrays using base class control...

View 1 RepliesIn the book I am reading the writer shows code for adding the WordWrap property to a class which inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl. But what is the point? There is nowhere to insert strings! Also he shows how to add an event by embedding a Combo in an instance of the class and using its SelectedIndexChanged event to raise the event for the UserControl; again what is the point?
View 5 RepliesI have a user control which I load dynamically inside a page using for...each loop calling loadcontrol.
Inside that usercontrol, there is a textbox and a button for searching.
When the btnSearch is clicked, another usercontrol will open but this time it is a popup. This popup contains the search result.
Now the problem is, if I have my program created 5 controls in the loop, the search button in the usercontrol only functions on the first display. The other 5 usercontrols loaded have search buttons that only refreshes the page instead of calling the popup.
The codes for search are inside the btnSearch of the usercontrol.
H9ow can I make the other dynamically added controls work and not only on the first instance?
defauld the usercontrol create(when is used) the backgroundimage property, but these property can be blocked? i'm asking these, because i need the entire control in that property

View 1 RepliesI have been making a control and have added a property for a list(of CustomClass). The custom class contains a string, an image and a list of another custom class which contains a string and an image. I have added this property to the designer by adding the browsable attributes and all appears to work correctly with this.
My problem comes when running the program. I can set all of the values within the property and I can go back to them and they are saved, however, as soon as I run the program, the values are wiped out as the property is set to Nothing.In order to allow my property to be edited and saved, I realize that I must initialize the list and have done so in the accessor method of the property (if the property's value is nothing).
I have modified the values in the designer and placed a breakpoint on all of the items which use the property and it's underlying field, as well as on the property's methods itself. The first breakpoint hit is of it being accessed and the value is always nothing.
I'm not sure where the values are supposed to be stored as I have checked the designer code where it would normally store types such as strings and I have checked the resources to see if they have been saved there (like an image would be). After running the code, the values in the designer are wiped out also.

After adding a UserControl to a form which access my database I get this warning:
Warning1The database file cannot be found. Check the path to the database.
[ Data Source = C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0Common7IDEDatabase.sdf ]
C:UsersUserDocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsProject1Project1Options.Designer.vb2160
Thing is I never had a database at that location, my database is and has always been in MyDocuments in the Project folder itself. There is nothing anywhere in my code referring to that database! When I double click it I get sent to this line in the Designers window:
Me.Controls.Add(Me.BoxControl1)
Even though I get this error I can still access my database, so basically it does absolutely nothing except drive me mad! So how do I fix this?

I've got this code which basically loops through a set of folders and subfolders and finds specific file types. And then lists these in a listview. Now, it's intended to list exe and msi files. And I've made it so that these icons can be doubleclicked after they have been listed. I do this by adding the path to the file in it's tag property.
But, my superiors want a checkbox next to each item. So that they can check each item they want installed. And then have a button which runs the path in each tag property one at a time. It's basically the part where I fill the listview with the checkbox, filename of the exe or msi file, tag and the icon that I'm wondering about.
This is the existing code. This includes just a Tile view of the listview. Public Sub getDirectories(ByVal strFilepath As String, ByVal strFileExtension As String, ByVal objControl As Object)
'Load first files from the root folder. Then loop each subfolder
Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(strFilepath)
Dim aryFi As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles(strFileExtension, SearchOption.AllDirectories)
[Code]...
But there should be a way of combining these two right? I'm not sure how I can add a checkbox in the first column of the listview? I've already set the Checkbox property of the listview to True. But I could use some pointers here if anyone's got any. :)
I have seen that BindableAttribute is used to decorate public properties in custom controls. MSDN briefly mentions that it provides the ability to control the binding direction and whether binding is supported at design time.
public class MyControl : Panel
{
[Bindable(BindableSupport.No, BindingDirection.OneWay)]
public string MyString { get; set; }
[code]....
1) I set BindableSupport to No, however I could still do this in markup (.aspx).What does BindableSupport affect then? Does it hide the property in the toolbox?
<cc:MyControl runat="server" MyString="something" />
2) How does one-way binding and two-way binding work in the context of custom controls and ASP.NET?
I have a listbox with several list items added. I want that as user click on an item, I should be able to show its property. This should change for different items. For example (hypothetical) : Listbox has numbers 1 - 10. Now when I select 1 I should be able to set property - Name, Lastname, Colour, Age.
When I select 2 I should be able to set - Age, Hair Colour (clr shows), Weight, Date. When I select 3 then - City (combo box drop down), Country, Age only. This way value changes for diff items. One way is to put them in property grid and show them. Though this looks nice but adding/removing items in that is not easy. You need to have a class that refer that to prop grid. Do I have to code for each classes for all values in listbox or is there an easier way to manage items in property grid. If you think prop grid is not the right tool for such an activity then can you suggest something else.
I have a Windows Form that contains a custom control container as a UserControl. For the sake of this question, this custom control container is called Dashboard. This container called Dashboard contains numerous other controls depending on their permissions. I need to raise events that are contained on these controls through the Dashboard control and over to the Windows Form.
How can I bubble up the event? I'm using VB.NET for this project, but can convert C# into VB.NET.Also, to complicate matters, the main Windows Form is a VB6 project. So, I'm using the InteropFormsToolkit to accomplish this.
