I want to make a small program in visual basic that can change the windows Vista / 7 color scheme, not one of the default list, but RGB, like in the 'Color mixer' options when you go to Control Panel -> Personalization -> Window Color and appearance.
View 2 RepliesI have the following code:
Dim _Brush_Disabled As New SolidBrush(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.GrayText))
Dim _Brush_Enabled As New SolidBrush(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.WindowText))
Sub Do_Something()
[code]....
Will _Brush_Disabled and _Brush_Enabled automatically change their colors if the Windows color scheme changes?If not, how can I make them 'track' Windows color scheme changes?

View 2 RepliesI would like to set a style for an MDI WinForms application in .NET (mix of C# and VB.NET). I would like all panels and forms to be of a certain color. I would like textboxes to be of a certain color when readonly and of a different color when NOT readonly. I don't want to use defaults. Any pointers on how I can make this GLOBAL for any Form that is developed for this application? Am looking for a way so I don't have to do this logic in every form I create.
PREFERABLY: Don't want to switch to using any third-party tools. Would like to stick with just WinForms and standard .NET libraries.

View 7 RepliesIs it possible to change the scrollbars color?
Reason I ask is because look at this:
The scrollbars stand out like a sore thumb.
I am having a slight problem using the color change alongside an if and then value. What I want is for gtotal.text to display in red IF the value drops below a "saved" number previousley used in the program. this number is used as "addicost"
Below is a snippet of the code that is most likely to be wrong. The color of gtotal always displays as red by the way. The only time it displays as black is when it first appears on the screen, but after "recalculating" the number in gtotal, it always displays as red.
If total > addicost Then
gtotal.ForeColor = Color.Red
gtotal.Text = String.Format("Total: £{0}", total.ToString())
[CODE]...
I have now noticed that by calculating in such a way that G total = 0 makes it display in black. So maybe addicost isnt saving properly? which would be insane since I use it at another point in the program okay.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim AddCost As Double
Dim Total As Double
AddCost = My.Settings.AddCost
[CODE]...
This is how I save addicost

View 2 RepliesI'm having a strange problem and can't seem to find a solution to it.I ahve a code in a backgroundworker and at certain points a label's color should change.[code]It just stays the same color as it was when the form opened.The form opens before the code is ran.However, if I place a button in the form with the code and add this as code for the button:[code]Why does it work with the button, but not with the backgroundworker?

View 1 RepliesI have a combobox called cbMaterialType on a windows form that's bound to a table in SQL - everything loads great and the combobox displays 'Material' items as it should, in that table I have two fields - Material (as mentioned above) which is a char(25) and InStock which is an nchar(1). If the InStock field contains a '1', I'd like the individual material to be green in the combobox, if '0', then red. I have the simple code in the drawitem event of the combobox as follows, but can't seem to get any results at all:
Private Sub cbMaterialType_DrawItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs) Handles cbMaterialType.DrawItem
If MaterialTableAdapter1.GetData.Item(cbMaterialType.SelectedIndex).InStock = 1 Then
cbMaterialType.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green
Else
cbMaterialType.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
End If
End Sub
I've never worked with any form of color in comboboxes before and this is my first attempt at the drawitem event.

View 17 RepliesI have been playing around with the "MouseDown" event and have gotten stuck. What I need is for when you click on a label (for instance), the back color will change, BUT I also want it to change to another color (back to its original) when nothing is clicking it. I can change the color with one mouse click, but when I release the mouse button, it stays the color it changed and doesn't revert back.

I have populated a ListView with currently running processes and with the help of JMC, been able to highlight specific rows based on memory consumption. However, I've decided to change it up a little bit and change the color of rows based on whether the process is owned by the User, if it's a System process, or if is a Service. I've already been able to determine if the process is a User process by utilizing the OpenProcessToken.
