VS 2008 : Custom Form Border Movement?
Apr 6, 2010
I'm currently working on an application that I'd really like to be able to have a custom form border. I have it set up right now that the close, minimise and maximise buttons work, as well as moving it around. The issue however is that, although the movement is working, once it starts, it does not stop. So I can drag it around and it works perfectly, but if I want to stop dragging it around and click elsewhere, the form moves to the position from which it was being dragged.
Public Class Form1
Dim clickhold As Boolean
Dim doonce As Boolean
Dim mousebase As Point

I set my FormBorderStyle of my form to none.This is exactly what i want, except I ran into a problem.When the background is gray (background of other applications running in the background), my form tends to fade in with the background (Still active, but i cant see where my form starts or ends).

I have below code that set customised form border color and title. the form is missing icon though.how to add icon to the form as well.
Code blocks are created by indenting at least 4 spaces... and can span multiple lines 'A form with custom border and title bar.'Some functions, such as resize the window via mouse, are not implemented yet.
Public Class CustomBorderColorForm
'The color and the width of the border.
Private borderColor As Color = Color.GreenYellow
Private borderWidth As Integer = 3

I need a check that will see the location of the edge of the form. An example would be (for what I am trying to do) is, when a form is moved, the main form will get bigger depending which border and which way the second form is going.So basically I need some way to make Form1 get bigger if Form2 is near the left border or near the bottom border.
*I have a mini system for making it grow(LocationChanged) on the form I want it to work for.
*I also know about ".left" and ".top",

I need to build a custom WPF Control something like this
As I am new in WPF, I used the following code (sorry for VB.NET)
CODE:
Now
1) Is it the best way to do it, considering that I will inherit that control and need the same border on the inherited controls
2) Is it good to specify the default value for the BorderBrush (to be non-transparent), like I did?
3) Why my corners are moved with a pixel (not really right linked)?

There are two available in BorderStyle(namely, FinxeSingle and Fixed3D). I wanted to apply a custom dashed border to a picture box.

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.

User - - -Monitor

Left-----Right

i recently took a look at a game i tried to put together, and decided i wanted to finish it.The game is a shooter game that creates 'walls' that the player should not be able to move into. These walls are panels, and currently, im using one keydown event to move both players. This is not a good thing, because it makes it impossible for both players to shoot and move at the same time. The player should not be able to run through the walls

Im going for a windows office 2007 sorta look with a glowing orb at the top right. I need a few coding elements to implement first.

yes these are all things capable with the traditional windows form but i want something more my style. Also im creating a orb like thing in the top left and a minimize/maximize/close button at the top right. I was going to use just images...is this the best way or can i create better graphics in wpf or something like that? Some more things that i would like but dont nessarly need would be the capablity to make my form with the clear vista aero glass instead of a single static color...i dont know mutch about this but is there an easy way to extend the vista aero glass theme across forms and if so what would that look like on xp machines.

This relates to WPF but is broad enough that a winform answer will do. I have made a few custom controls in the past by inheriting from whatever particular control I wish to inherent from.
I have noticed that I can add a form to a class/user control library from the add new dialog and have it run. When this application is compiled I get a DLL.
So my question is can I use a Form as a custom control. The reason I ask is I am creating a more advanced MsgBox for a new application I require and a form as its container makes the most sense.

I am building a Windows Forms app without a border, so I have complete control over the interface. A few years ago I managed to create a VB6 app that I could drag the form using a control on it, but I cannot for the life of me remember how to do it, and Google has failed me.

I have searched on this but I keep finding people trying to keep others from moving forms. And also nothing in the code bank.
Here is what I am making. I am making a tournament overlay program that tracks current players progress for shoutcasters (displays their name, race, score, color, ect).
I have a control panel that will change all that information on another form, the borderless one, that will "Always be on top" of the game displaying information.

If a form has its form border style set to None, how would you go about moving it?
I thought that this would work:
Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseDown
Me.Location = MousePosition
End Sub
but it doesn't.

I have been making an online role playing-game in VB2008 and inside the gameloop for the client there is some code that "smoothes" out the movement (instead of it being choppy from tile to tile.) It works pretty well but I'm having problems figuring out a math formula to get a good frame timer interval to set how fast the frames change based on how many pixels they can move per loop.Testing stuff out I found that 250ms is an ideal frame timer interval for 1.0 pixel movement per loop. If I were to double the movement step of pixels by 2 lets say (2.0 pixel step per loop) I found that the frame timer interval should be around 125ms. How can I get the frame timer interval by the movement step of pixels? In cases where the movement step can anything between 0.1 to 4.0 pixels.
