VS 2008 Saving Colors / Fonts To The Registry
Mar 9, 2012
I think I'm starting to wear out my welcome by posting so much one after another..but, I'm having so much fun with this..Like a kid in a candy store. one more thing then I'll give you fellows a break. I was trying to get the colors and fonts to go into the registry and have the program pull those settings back into the program when its opened up but i can't seem to get it right for some reason. I only included the one line in the Form1_Load and left what i had in the in the other. Obviously this code is incomplete, and not functional As Is. So how do I save the Font Size, and then Save the listview backColor and Forecolor in the reg, and retrieve those settings when the programs starts?

I'm working on a kind of database program. What it does is, after an user fills in a couple of textboxes and hits an "Add" button, it creates a series of textboxes, and places these in the same form. After that, and here's where I have the problem, I want to be able to save the form, saving not only what each dynamically added textbox says, but also it's location in the form.
Here's part of my work up to now:
Code:
Public Class Form3
Dim k As Integer = 1
Dim i As Integer = 0
Dim j As Integer = 0
Dim x As Integer = 8
Dim y As Integer = 40
[Code] .....
NOTE: Age, name, last name, tel and type are all the fields that the user has to fill in, they are textboxes.

I'm trying to build a music player app. I want to have it set up so the user can choose your own background from picture files on your computer. The code I'm using to save the registry file is:
Private Sub MusicPlayerForm_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue _ (m_strKeyName, "BackgroundImage", Me.BackgroundImage)
End Sub
The file is saved and I can see it when I use the regedit. The problem I'm having is loading the file. Currently I have:
Private Sub MusicPlayerForm_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Timer1.Start()
LoadDefault()
[code]....
The error message I get is 'System.IO.FileNotFound Exception'. For some reason I don't think the files' getting read.

I currently have a class
Code:
Public Class Customer
Public Property AccountNumber() As String
Public Property PMDue() As String
[code]....
Account Class is initialized as new customer. To save the data from each property in the Account Class, I'm currently looping thru the properties each time Account obtains new data. I tried to simplify the process by the following line...
Code:
CustomerStreamToWrite.WriteLine(Account)
This does not work as written. I figured it would be much faster. It did not write out the property data. It saved "WindowsApplication1.Customer" Not exactly what I wanted. Is there a method to get it to save the properties in a written out style by just using the class name?

I am working on a a program that uses a textbox to display data from a telescope. Normally the data is standard ASCII characters, but there is one time when the data is displayed as blocks to indicate the number of degrees to go. The textbox font is set to Sans Serif in the property box. When I show the blocks, I want to switch to Wingdings. I have searched how to change the textbox font and tried several ways found, but none of them work. I know that the textbox will handle Wingdings - I can set the font property and it displays correctly.
The most common method I have seen is: txtDisplay1.Font = New Font("Wingdings",26.0, FontStyle.Regular) ,but like all the other methods tried, the font never changes.

I have made updates to my programs, including a large update with the fonts on my forms. The only problem is this font is not found on vista or Windows XP and must be downloaded. The program is completely ruined with its looks without it. Is their a way so that both Windows XP and Vista could download these fonts, On startup of the first form, Form Load maybe? Even if the user says that he or she would like to see the program with the fonts? I just don't want to take the many hours i wasted resizing with the new fonts, ect. If it would be easier I could ask the user if they are using Windows XP, Or Vista?

I'm making a program that uses a rich textbox and when you format the color of the richtextbox I want it to replace all instances of a color except black to have text on both sides of it.Example:If the text color is blue the text would look like this:
[color=blue]Blue Text[/color]
Where it says blue text that's where the text is blue. and if the text was red then instead of it saying color=blue, it would say color=red.

Ok, so I am writing a program (you can check it out at and want to change the inputboxes to match the main form. Now, I know I could use additional forms instead, but I would prefer no to, as I would have to basically start over. So, I need to be able to change the backcolor and forecolor of the inputboxes (and msgboxes would be nice too). I am using 2008, and look forward to getting this figured out. Note: the website does not contain the code, but a published version of the program.

In the Solution Explorer window, is it possible to change the highlight color of selected items *when the form does not have focus*?For example, selecting a module in the Solution Explorer highlights that module's name in Blue, then when the focus is lost by moving to another window in the IDE, that blue highlight becomes a very, very light gray (on some LCD monitors in particular). I'd like to make that light gray a bit easier to see.Is this possible? I'm running VS2008 SP1 on Vista 64.

I'm basically trying to make a simple, easy-to-use, paint program. I seem to be having problems with using multiple colors in the PictureBox1_Paint option. It draws the graphics but when you change the brush color and click in the picturebox it changes the colors of the previous graphics to the color you are currently trying to use. I need it to allow multiple colors.
Here's the code that I'm currently using..
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
Public Class DynosPaint
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Private IsFormBeingDragged As Boolean = False

I have a big datagridview that has a list of items, that have several states, every state has a date. My dgv will look like this:
----- Date1 | Date2 | Date3 ...
It1 |
It2 |
It3 |
The same item can have multiple states in the same date, for example: The item1 enters the factory in the date1, and leaves the factory in the same date1, what i need it's that the intersection cell, have one line with the background in green with an F (means that the item enters in the factory), and in the same cell, but in another line (multiline) in the same cell i need another F but this time with the background red (means that item leaves the factory).
The usuals columns doesn't allow me to do this, i created a simple code to use a image column and then draw a image that does what i want, but i don't like the final results and it's a little slow, and when i select the full row, i don't have the usual selected cell visual effect in this columns... I was thinking to create a datagridview column with a different type (inherited) but i don't know what column to use as base column for my column, image column and then paint the content of another control in the cell or another type?
