View 4 RepliesC# - .NET Expanding An Image While Preventing Clicks On The Form?
Dec 15, 2011I am developing a WinForm application using VB.NET (I am fluent in C# as well, so post in whatever language) and have run into some trouble. I have an image on my form that I would like to expand when clicked on. I have all that logic set, but I want that when it expands, the user has to click on an 'X' in the upper right corner of the PictureBox to close the expanded image. While the image is being displayed, I don't want the user to be able to interact with the rest of the UI on the form.
Basically I need something along the lines of (pardon me for switching to HTML but I know this works there) creating a div that covers the whole screen, making it opaque, putting another div on top of that, and then putting the image and the 'X' button on top of that. I have tried using opaque forms (didn't work), and panels with a transparent backcolor (didn't work either). I've resorted to taking a screenshot of the form, setting it as the image of a PictureBox, and putting the PictureBox on top of that. However, that seems like way to much overkill.
My current layout is MainForm -> Dynamically create new Form and add it to Main Form -> Add PictureBox to Dynamic Form and set its image to be a screenshot of MainForm -> Add a PictureBox on top of that PictureBox and set its image to the expanded image that I want
Preventing Event Handlers From Triggering On Form Load?
Nov 25, 2008Using VB 2008 Express I have a form in which a number of controls which have event handlers to monitor choices the user is making. The event handlers do work as expected, but the problem I'm having shows up when I load the form.For example, I have:
Code:
Private Sub RadioButton6_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadioButton6.CheckedChanged
MsgBox("I got checked!", MsgBoxStyle.Critical)
End Sub
When I load the form in question from the main form of the program, I get the message box, even though the user hasn't actually clicked the radio box. The problem arises when I try to use a call to a function that works fine, as long as the entire form has loaded. Called prematurely, the function fails.How do I solve this so these event handlers don't trigger when the form is being loaded?
Windows Forms: Unable To Click To Focus A MaskedTextBox In A Non TopLevel Form
May 20, 2010I've got a Child form being shown with it's TopLevel property set to False and I am unable to click a MaskedTextBox control that it contains (in order to bring focus to it). I can bring focus to it by using TAB on the keyboard though.
The child form contains other regular TextBox controls and these I can click to focus with no problems, although they also exhibit some odd behavior: for example if I've got a value in the Textbox and I try to drag-click from the end of the string to the beginning, nothing happens. In fact I can't use my mouse to move the cursor inside the TextBox's text at all (although they keyboard arrow keys work).I'm not too worried about the odd TextBox behavior, but why can't I activate my MaskedTextBox by clicking on it?
Below is the code that shows the form:
Dim newReportForm As New Form
Dim formName As String
Dim FullTypeName As String
Dim FormInstanceType As Type
[code].....

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 Preventing The IDE From Checking Things?
Aug 16, 2010I often face the following problem : when I have a form with lots of controls on it (100 , 200 etc) and I change the name of a control , the IDE goes slow for a few seconds . This is very annoying when I have to change the name to a lot of controls . I believe this is happening because the IDE checks the forms , the code etc to see if there any problem after (re)naming the controls . Of course this is welcome because it prevents a lot of problems , but at the same time it creates some serious problems as well . Thus , I wonder , is there any way I could prevent the IDE from checking all those things in order not to reduce it's speed ? Of course I am talking temporarily . I believe that what I gain by letting it check after every name-changing , I also gain it if I only let it check once (at the end of the name-changing process) .

May 6, 2010how to retrieve child windows so I can click a button.The APIs I am using to get child windows are these:
ParentWindow:
VB.NET

Which seems even more loosely defined. I have no idea how to actually use that function with EnumChildWindows or how its parameters are supposed to be used.The description says it's used to enumerate ChildWindows, but isn't that the whole point of the EnumChildWindows API?

VS 2008 Preventing A User From Selecting A TreeView Node?
Dec 13, 2009I have a TreeView that I am using for display purposes only. I don't want the user to be able to select any of the nodes. Setting the enabled property of the form to False doesn't suffice since it changes the entire look of the nodes.
I tried canceling the select action in the BeforeExpand event. It kind of works. It selects, then de-selects the item. I'm going to play around with other events to see

[2008] Button Click From Another Form?
Feb 1, 2009I have migrated to Vb.Net - Previously in VB6 I could write code in Form2 that Clicked some button code on Form1 (usually when I clicked the exit button on Form2). The idea was to update a listbox on Form1 and refresh the Form1. I used something like:
Form1.Command1 = True
Form2.Hide
Is there a similar feature in VB.NET? This short code had the effect of clicking Button1 on Form1.

Mar 21, 2010I am trying to click a button after filling out a form in vb.net 2008. I have the following code but I cannot seem to get it to work.
WebBrowser1.Document.All("username").InnerText = TextBox1.Text

Here is the html code for the submit button below:
<div id="submit_button">

Why this isn't working I cannot seem to figure it out.
VS 2008 Form Minimizes Instead Of Opening On Button Click
Apr 3, 2009I have this code which when I run the program and click on the btnReturn the form actually minimises to the taskbar. What I have noticed is that yellow and green lines have appeared next to the btnReset section and all the way to the end of the code and that the last line (private sub fmmxxxxload) had disappeared, which I replaced. Now when I run the program it still minimises rather than appears on screen. If I click on it in the taskbar, the correct form is displayed.

I was planning on having a seperate form come up when you click to edit the favorite you would type your URL and display text there and then when you click the favorite in the dropdown box on the other form in would navigate to the webbrowser you specified. My problem is that it dosn't seem to recognize the text box becuas its on a differnt form. Is there a way I can declare that text box on the first form? And also How do I make the text in that text box stay there until someone changes it when I click ok it dissapears.
