I want to do this as i want to owner draw it ... and not have it square (as the shadow is ... even when owner drawing )
Im using now this code to make shadow for my square backgrounds.

in my on the job training i need to develop a program (webinterface in later stage) that is able to work with the volume shadow copy service.after about a month of research i have found about nothing about how to program it using the sdk or something like that.so now im asking on forums if there is anyone who has experience with using it in own programs.so what does it have to do?first i would like to be able to get information about a volume that uses VSS. information like how many copy's were made, when were those copy's created. what files are included in the copy.my prefered langauge is C# but im not affraid to learn (more) about VB or C++

View 2 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
Does anyone know if it's possible to skin the tooltip window so it looks like: Attachment 2448.Instead of the yellow box or the balloon like it does now?
View 1 RepliesSo I made my form transparent by changing the transparent key to dimgray, change background color to dimgray. I also changed the picture box's BG color to dimgray everything was fine except that the drop shadow on the picture I did was just a grey blob.Is there anyway to make the drop shadow look like its a drop shadow?

I am trying to add tooltip to each item in a listview but they dont seem to come out. I tried setting the .ToolTipText = "text" on each item but when i put mouse over each item, nothing appear. What am i doing wrong?
View 1 RepliesI have a balloon tool tip and want to show it as follows:
vb
Dim CompleteTooltip As New ToolTip With {.IsBalloon = True, .ToolTipTitle = "Title", .ToolTipIcon = ToolTipIcon.Info}
CompleteTooltip.Show("Click close to confirm changes", btnClose, CInt(btnClose.Width / 2), CInt(btnClose.Height / 2), 5000)
i would have thought if i specify that i want a balloon tooltip the point that i specify would be the point that the balloon points to - NOT the upper left point of the tooltip itself... how can i specify the balloon point rather than the upper left point?
How could one create a form that would give a handle to direct the mouse at that when the mouse clicked would result in focus of external process form directly bollow layer thereby giving focus to text box on said form?
View 11 RepliesI have a small application in which I need to show alerts if a particular condition is met. I have an mdi form and several child forms. Now the best way to show an alert is to show a tooltip on the right side corner of my mdi form. Though this works, but the problem is I want user to close the tooltip once he has read. Now the tooltip that vb.net provide does not support click events. If I give a long time duration the tooltip would be open all the time and if I give a short duration then it will close quickly. What can I do ?
View 1 RepliesI am working on implementing cell level error indication in my app and I have it set up to where it shows the error icon correctly and I tried using the datagridview FAQ sample code to show an errortooltip as well. I can watch as I set the errortooltip to have the proper data and display control (in mousemove event), yet the second I finish my mousemove event it fires the mouseleave event and resets my tooltip before the user ever has a chance to see it.
Here's my:
' show and hide the tooltip for error
Private Sub ChuteSinglesDataGridView_CellMouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles ChuteSinglesDataGridView.CellMouseMove
If cellInError.X = e.ColumnIndex AndAlso cellInError.Y = e.RowIndex Then
Dim cell As DataGridViewCell = ChuteSinglesDataGridView(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex)
[Code] .....
Ok basically what I am doing is using panels to create virtual "pages" within my application, and using buttons to switch from page to page. However whenever I click the button to move from page1 to page2, page 1 disappears and page2 does not become visible.
Private Sub page1_next_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles page1_next.Click
page2.Visible = True
page1.Visible = False
ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text = status_page2
End Sub
Also, how do I make it so that when the user focuses on a text box a tool tip pops up?
Is there any way to change the properties of the DataGridViews default tooltip?ie.change it's display duration or text font/size.

View 3 RepliesI am using a Balloon tooltip to show the user which characters are invalid as a filename. I use the IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars array and convert each character to a string, before appending it to a "Invalid filename characters:" string.
vb.net
If IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars.Contains(e.KeyChar) Then
e.Handled = True
Dim str As String = "The following characters are invalid filename characters:" & nl
Dim invalidChars As New List(Of String)
For Each c As Char In IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars

The result is not pretty: How do I get rid of the 'non-visual' characters (they are probably newlines, backspaces, null chars, etc) so they don't clutter up the list?

View 4 RepliesI would like to shadow/override an event in VB.NET. I do it only because I have to implement in this object an interface, that contains the same event like the base object itself, and I need to keep this base event as is it without modification nor supplementary event additions.How can I do it?

So, I would like to implement a interface that contains VisibleChanged event, but to keep functional the myBase VisibleChanged event too.

So I came across this code that enables a drop shadow on a form in Visual Studio .NET 2008. The code is as follows:

I want to create a drop shadow on a group box though. What changes can I make to this and where must I insert it to do this?
I would like to make sure that certain properties/methods of native framework methods are not called in a project I'm working on. I want to use custom methods instead, and make sure that those methods are always used. How would I do that?
These are the details:
In a rather large web project, we have several pieces of code creating and sending email messages using the MailMessage object. I want to perform some additional checking, logging etc whenever an email address is added to either the To, CC or BCC MailAddressCollection
of a MailMessage object. Basically I'd like to make sure that it is not possible, in this entire Solution, to do this: MyMailObject.To.Add(something@somwhere.com), and the same for "CC" and "BCC".
First, I thought about not using the MailMessage object at all, but inherit it and override the methods that allow adding of addresses. I ran into some trouble though when trying to shadow the "To" property, since "To" is a reserved word... And then I realized that it probably wouldn't solve my problem entirely anyway, since there would be nothing stopping another developer (or myself being stupid) from creating an instance of the original MailMessage class and use it at will.
I have successfully created a method which centralizes all the adding of various recipient addresses, but I can't figure out how to prevent the original methods from being used by mistake.
I am looking for a way to create Volume Shadow Copies of individual files. I have searched accross the net now for classes and code to use but I haven't been able to find anything. I'm only really starting out in .NET and C#, C++ or any other language for that matter are completely alien to me. Everything I've found on the subject, even from Microsoft VSS SDK is either in C# or in C++. I don't want to use any external programs, everything must run from the single exe file.
Target End Result:
I'd like a file at "\global\class\VSSClass.vb" that houses all the code needed.
Public objVSSClassObject As New VSSClass
For in-line code I'd like it as streamined as possible as it will be used with arrays of pre-set filenames.
objVSSClassObject.CopyFile(srcFile, dstDirectory)
Here's a sample of how the code would be used.
Public VSS As New VSSClass
Dim dstDirectory = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "\Shadow Files"
Dim FilesArray() As String = {"absolute_path_to_file1.txt", _

Is there a way to remove the LineShape shadow effect when selecting the lineShape? I tried
Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias
Dim oldmode As SmoothingMode = g.SmoothingMode
g.DrawLine(_Pen, X1, Y1, X2, Y2)
g.SmoothingMode = oldmode
End Sub
but finally, this have some back effects on invalidation: when moving (in a panel) the line leave traces - does not invalidate properly.
I tried to skin my application and failed. I can get it to work if I don�t have semi transparent pixels on the outside of my form. But I want to use a skin I found on Deviant art that was made for Miranda. It is really nice but and it has a shadow around it. To get it to work in vb.net (I�m using 2005 btw) I have to fill around the main picture and take out the initializing (I think that is what it is called). But then the form�s edges are choppy. How does Miranda allow the shadows but I can�t in vb.net?
I first tried to do it the easy way. I set up some transparent panels with transparent pictureboxes in them and put my corners and middle fills as the backgrounds. I made the form with no border and set the transparent key to transparent. That didn�t work, so I made the form magenta and the transparent key magenta. The outside of the for where the shadow is was drawn on the magenta and the magenta bled through. So I edited the png�s to be magenta all around the form (eliminating the shadows) and it worked, but the corners were choppy.
Then tried some code I found on the net that tried to make a new control as a transparent panel. It was overriding the paint events and drawing to an off screen bitmap. I really didn't understand it and it just showed up as a blank screen. There has to be a way to do this.
