I have a little problem with the shadow of a button when in popup style. [code] This fat border only disappear if I click another button; then the fat border is instead on that button. I'm sure this is by design, but I want this button style without this "feature". Is it possible to avoid the remaining border shadow behavior?

I have seen on a few applications where there is a Pop-up page that has Tab controls on it with an several buttons on the bottom for Ok, Cancel and Help. These three buttons are on all 6 Tabs, but I don't think they actually have different button clicks for each tab. How does one have these three button on all the tabs but without having to have separate clicks statements.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a project and i am required to set up a 2d arrray of buttons. This part is fine and working. My problem is detecting the name of a button when it is clicked. I have a feeling it has something to do with sender, but i just can't crack it. If you need more info or code, then just ask.

I would like to have a label's text recorded into a database when my button is clicked. I do not yet understand the database connection. I have created the db, and have the following
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Conn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.CE.OLEDB.3.5; Data Source=c: empTestDB.sdf;"
Dim tConnection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(Conn)

When I try to test this the .ExecuteNonQuery() becomes highlighted and says the given type name is unrecognized. My table is setup as table1 and the only 2 columns are datetime and temperature. I want the label text to go to temperature and I would like somehow the time the temperature was taken to go into the datetime field. I had the provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0, but I changed it since I thought this was the one to use.
Using 2 forms how would I click one button, from another form? ie In VB 4,5,6, I would used to do it as:-
Form 1:
private sub Command1_Click()
msgbox "Say Hello"
End Sub[code].....
If I clicked the button in form2, it would automaticlly, click the button in form1. Do I, do it the same way in VB Express or has it changed?

I have numerous buttons on a form, one each to select a playing card (52 buttons). When the Card(button) is selected I want to highlight it by changing the border from black to Red, then if reclicked from change back from red to black, easy enough (if then else). So that I do not have to copy this code 52 times I wanted to create a module as follows:
Sub ChangeButtonBorderColor(ByRef ButtonName)
If (Equals(ButtonName.BorderBrush, Brushes.Red)) Then
ButtonName.BorderBrush = Brushes.Black

I have already done the creation of button and the dragging of button at runtime already.But now i need to know how do i save the last dragged button on the form and also detect the name of the last clicked button.so lets say i now drag a button to coordinates 25,254. so when i exit the form and the next time i launch it, the button will still be at 25,254. and this one will go on for the number of button i created like 100. so when i launch the form the 100 button will be at the exact position where i last saved them.the second part is lets say i created button1 and button2 on the form in runtime. so when i clicked the first button, it should display button1. and if i clicked on button 2, it should say button2. same goes for like 100buttons.

View 1 RepliesI am setting my Winforms Button control properties to appear as a hyperlink would on a web page. I've formatted everything fine, except the border in the FlatAppearance object. I have code to act as pseudo-CSS (FormBackColor is a string constant.):
b.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat
b.BackColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml(FormBackColor)
b.ForeColor = Color.Blue
[code]....
The code removes the border from the flat Button control except on MouseOver, where I add a 1 pixel border. On MouseLeave, I remove the border. This is to show some visual feedback. This works fine when the button does not have the focus. However, if I click on the button, giving the button focus, mousing out and over again now shows a greater than 1 pixel border around the button. I'm imagining it's combining my button's explicit 1 pixel border with the traditional "Winform Button has the focus, so add a border" border around the Button.How can I disable/remove the "Winform Button has the focus, so add a border" border? Or, should I just do a check in ButtonMouseOver to check if the control has the focus, being a condition of adding the border, and just be done with it?
I was playing around with designing a custom interface for a test application and I am using a custom image for a close button. I am using the FlatStyle properties to define it's look'n'feel. I've set the border to 0 but when the application loses focus, the border of the button shows up.I have tried to force the property to go 0 again when the application's "LostFocus" event is captured but doesn't work.I am also using a "rollover" method using MouseHover and MouseLeave events to change the image of the button.Using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.

View 2 RepliesI'm finishing up an app for work that will work hand in hand with another app.
What I'd really like to do, is setup a method to add a button to the other apps border. So all they have to do is click that button when in that other app, do their business and move on.
Now, if I hadn't seen it before, I most certainly would've thought that this wouldn't be possible. But I've seen TeamViewer do it.
In that image, TeamViewer created a two-way arrow button and when clicked, displays a small panel of some sort with additional options.
I'm 99.99% sure I'll have to use Windows APIs, but I'm not sure where to begin.
I have an observation to share about the 1st character of a checkbox text being truncated when the FlatStyle property is set to system. Details follow: I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008. Development Edition
A few details copied from the Help -> About -> Copy Info button
Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 3.5
Installed Edition: Enterprise
Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 91904-270-3624373-60139
Here are the steps that I followed:
File -> New Project -> Windows Forms Application
Double clicked the CheckBox from the Toolbox and it started to show up on Form1.
In the CheckBox properties, I set the following:
Text: Windows
Font Name: Arial
The Font Size is left to the default which happens to be 8.25 in my case.
FlatStyle: System
Now note the 1st character of the CheckBox. I see the "W" truncated. I tried modifying the CheckAlign and TextAlign property values as per this page: [URL]. But could not find a reason. Changing the FlatStyle or the Font size seemed to work. But for this specific set of property values, the W isn't rendered correctly.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to solve an issue in my application where the following exception is occurring: there is already an open datareader associated with this command which must be closed first. I am using TableAdapters, which maintain their own DataReaders, and everything seems to work fine unless I am interacting with one of my background workers.
In my code, I shadow the Item property of my collections so that I can retrieve the actual data from the database if needed. Here is a sample:
[code]...
Now each reference to the Item get property instantiates its own DataAdapter, so I am confused as to how the same DataReader will ever be used in this scenario. Is there something I am missing? All the TableAdapters do in fact use the same connection object, but I wouldn't think that would be a problem
