View 2 RepliesI'm using Windows XP and VB.net 2005. I've search for information on how to use the BackgroundWorker to display a ProgressBar during a process and thought I had it correct, but appearently I don't - the bar never shows, much less moves. My goal is to have a Marquee Style progress bar display while my code is looping thru a query result populating a datatable that a DataGridView is binded. Here is my code.

View 1 RepliesI am successfully trying to send an email message through my windows form. The only problem is when i click the button to send mail it is not showing the prograssbar. It shows after a delay or sometimes doesn't show at all.Is it due to the event handler? I have no clue and all i need to first show is the progressbar when the send button is clicked and then when sending message is successful or unsuccessful then hide progressbar and display the Txtmessage.text.
Public Sub SendEmail()
ProgressBar1.Visible = True
Dim client As New SmtpClient()
Dim sendTo As New MailAddress(To.Text)

i have a standard login form that allows the user to enter username and password and click OK or cancel. I have a progress bar called pbLaunch with the visible property set to false and the animation set to marquee. when the user clicks OK i would like to run a separate thread called bgwProgress that makes the progress bar visible and fires up the marquee just to show that something is happening while form1 loads up.....so far i'm stuckn the ok click event i have the following:
Try
Dim bgwProgress As New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
bgwProgress.WorkerSupportsCancellation = True

I have created a listbox with several items that when a button is clicked, it opens up the application that uses that file and then starts the file. this all works fine, but I wanted to know if there is a way to show a marquee-type progress bar for each process as it's being opened?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If CheckedListBox1.SelectedItem = "ITEM ONE" Then
Process.Start("c:\DIRECTORY\ITEMONE.exe")
End If

I am trying to make a style that only gets applied if the parent element of the element that the style refers to, has another specific style. Kind of like in CSS where you can do ".class1 .class2" to specify that the "class2" theme only applies if it is within an element with the class "class1". I do not wish to use any form of external DLLs or libraries for this task. I want to know if it's possible to implement on my own.
I've tried using MultiTriggers with no luck. I have a style that applies to all TextBlocks. I want the textblock to do the following: If the font-size of the textblock is 11 and the parent element's style is "PinnedSuggestion", set the foreground color to "#FF505050". If the font-size of the textblock is 11 and the parent element's style is "Suggestion", set the foreground color to "#FFCCCCCC". The conditions that I have tried to write to make this work, are as follows (the font-size condition is true, but the other one is not). The conditions are inside a style that applies to all textblocks in general.

From time to time, I see people asking about how to make marquee text. I recently wrote a marquee class I figured I would share, in case anyone finds this useful.
Heres The Class:
Public Class Marquee
Private _CurrentText As String = "Paul's Custom Marquee"
Private _text As String = "Paul's Custom Marquee"

I've got a form that has a ProgressBar on it. The Style is set to Marquee. In the Form.Shown event handler, I call BackgroundWorker. RunWorkerAsync(). In the old version, while this is occurring in the background, the ProgressBar is scrolling, which is exactly what I want.I copied over not only the code from within the file (i.e., the logic code) but also the code from the designer file. So, from what I can tell, there should be NOTHING different between the two files. However, in the new version, the marquee scroll doesn't occur.
View 6 RepliesIs it possible to have the title bar of your application be a marquee? The only way I know of to make a marquee currently is this:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Label1.Left = Label1.Left - 10
[CODE]...
All that does is make "Label1" move from right to left across the form.. is having a marquee in the title bar possible?
I have one webbrowser and it isn't loading the .css of the page.. I set it to formload the index.html and inside the index.html I have entered the css inside the <style type="text/css">....</style> tags but then the browser only displays the html not the html formated by the style.

View 2 RepliesI am creating an application and am very new to VB. I have 4 buttons on my form which is like my applications main menu. I would like that each of the buttons behaves in the following way when there is a mouse rollover: The Button back color is changed from the default to Red The Button text is changed to Blue, Bold, and increases in font size I would also like all the buttons to go back to their initial state when the mouse leaves.
Another thing, instead of me writing code for each of the buttons event handlers (Mouse Hovers, and Mouse Leaves) is there a way I can write this code once, maybe as a function and then always call it for any button that I create from here on so that any new buttons take on this behaviour.
