View 3 Replieswhat I want to achive is to have a centralized control of my data-forms from my toolbars (toolstrip), like navigating (PREV-NEXT), SAVE, DELETE, CANCLE and so on instead of having it in every form. it worked beautifully in my VB6 projects. below are the codes i did in .NET and it don't seem to work and I guessed it about my use of late binding in .NET.
This is what I have done that don't seem to work. In my project module, frm is declared Public as form object Public frm as system.windows.form().form
Im my childforms i want as soon as the forms are load, activated or have focus, should instantiate or create the form object in my frm. [Code] while in my menu or main form (parent form) with toolstrip buttons, this actually where all individual forms are called. [Code]
and it's flagging an error there:
frm.CloseForm is not a member of System.Windows.Forms().Form
and I must say here that I declared all the subs im calling in the childforms PUBLIC, and of-course frm being a late binding type may not have all the Public Method on it.
I'm showing an excel file in a WebBrowser control on my form, but it doesn't show any toolbars. The customers wants the ability to make changes in the control and save them, hence the need to show the standard toolbars.
I've tried many different things including:
For Each cb As CommandBar In xlApp.CommandBars
cb.Visible = True
Next
'and

how I can get toolbars to show in the WebBrowser control?
I wish to add a toolbar that looks like the one in windows explorer to my windows application in my visual basic 2005 application. Although I have currently deployed the default 'toolstrip' that is avilable among the controls but I don't understand how should i change the appearance of the toolstrip from office 2003 to the one present in windows explorer.Please provide a solution to the above problem.
View 4 RepliesHi. I have 2 toolbars and want to show only one at a time.
But when I swap them using .visible, it updates the form each time I switch one on/off, so it's all flickery and slow, and other controls resize to suit the indermediate state.
How can I do it cleanly?
I've been working over the past year or so to make a very advanced web browser in visual basic, with features like speed dial, password remembering, popup handlers, phishing filters, advert blockers, etc. The final step of the way for me is to add in a toolbar feature. I don't want the source code - that would be asking far to much, but if someone has found any code which might point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. My code is allready around 15000 lines?
View 6 Repliesi am trying to make toolbars in VB that change their style according to the color scheme of your computer.if you don't know what i am talking about, look at the toolbars in IE, Firefox(with default theme), Notepad++ ect.i can use a boackround image for toolstrips, but they won't change for different OS's, i tried a toolbar control, but had the same theme problem and the buttons won't do anything?
View 6 RepliesI want to use icon files that reside outside of Excel on my Excel toolbars for macro buttons I have created (I don't want to use the customizing function within Excel, but rather, icons that have already been created). In some prior life, I have done this and have some neat-looking icons on the Excel that resides on my desktop. I don't know how I did it, but I know it's doable!
Alternatively, if someone could tell me how to copy over the customized Excel setup, that would work too. I tried copying over my "Book 1" file, but got a message about macro security and digital certificates.
In VB.NET Tutorials I was following the tutorial Customize your toolbars and menus with a custom renderer and with the folowing code I get an error 'Declaration expected'

I am using the "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser Control Type Library 1.0" control to view PDF's in my vb.net application. I want it to show just the PDF with no menus and toolbars.
I have used the following code:
AxAcroPDF1.LoadFile("C:ShippingForm.pdf")
AxAcroPDF1.src = "C:ShippingForm.pdf"
AxAcroPDF1.setShowToolbar(False)
AxAcroPDF1.setView("fitH")
AxAcroPDF1.setLayoutMode("SinglePage")
AxAcroPDF1.setShowScrollbars(False)
AxAcroPDF1.Show()
I am still getting the Navigation Panel on the left side of the panel. Does anybody have information on which method would disable this or maybe a list of all the methods?
I'm using VB.net 2005. I want to open a Word doc from either the VB app. It can either shown on the form or in Word itself. Either way is fine. I tried using the WebBrowser control method, but it had the annoying "Open or Save" dialog that pops up and I don't want the users to get that. So now I am trying by opening up Word uses the sample code I found below. The problem is I want the users to ONLY be able to READ the doc. No Editing, Printing, or Saving. How Do I remove the Menubars, tool bars, and anything else that would allow them to print or save. Even if they tried to edit it would then do them no good without print or save.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
' Opens up doc in Word
Dim file_name As String

just wondering if it is possible to add a method to all forms in my project without having to do it on one form and Inherit all my other forms from that one
View 3 Repliesi have a problem with trying to get 2 forms to close at different times using a timer on each of the 2 forms.
This is my form layout:
Quote:
frmMain
Frm1
Frm2
Frm1 and Frm2 are identical to each other. FrmMain has 2 buttons on it. One button to call Frm1 and the other to call Frm2.Frm1 and Frm2 each has a timer. It counts down to 0 and then does a .close(). However, if i pause between clicking the second button they both seem to always disappears at the same time.I would do something like this...
Click on the first button (showing the Frm1 form)
wait about 10 secs...Click on the second button (showing the Frm2 form)they both are shown on screen...hen they both disappear at the same time.... which shouldn't happen since i clicked the Frm2 box 10 seconds AFTER Frm1... So Frm1 should hide before Frm2 does...but it does not.

I am having a strange issue with vb.net 2008. I have two forms that I designed, but I cannot bring them up to edit them. I can only view them when I run the program. I have attached a screen shot of my form showing while my program runs.
View 14 RepliesCurrently, my application is comprised of:a Main Form On this Form, lies an array of User controls, (pardon my terminology, i believe the more proper VB.Net term is Collection of controls). Within these controls are pictureboxes that have distinct graphics drawn on them. When I run this program, no graphics are drawn in the pictureboxes or it appears the graphics are overwritten. Also, it seems that the Form resizes uncontrollably varying in size on the screen and hits an infinite loop. I use the Form_Resize function for updating the size of the form. What could be causing this problem. What is the Paint method used for?Currently, to draw graphics on the Pictureboxes i am using the graphics object. I have two pictureboxes within the usercontrol for toggling back and forth for a more fluid refresh upon property updates.
From my reading, vb.net does not allow the ability to create an array of controls on a form, so I attempted to create an array of controls dynamically to try and stay as close to my vb6 application as possible because my knowledge is limited. This works, from what i can tell I know that in the Upgrade wizard the VB6.Compatiblity reference was used to try and mimic an array of controls, but I wanted to steer away from that and program strictly using VB.Net commands.
I want to know how to make transparent form. But my buttons have to stay visible when using the program
View 11 RepliesI would like to use 3 forms on which there will be various controls. I want the user of the program to complete first the stuff on Form1 then click to Button 1 in order to go to the second form (which is "next" button). On second form, there will be two buttons (Back and Next) and these will navigate it next or previous form. My aim is to have a single window at all times (the user should not see several windows and have the feeling that all these different windows are in fact a unique window with navigation buttons on it).
I know how to make forms visible/invisible or determine manually the location on the screen. But my question is if there is a conventional way of arranging these forms and their navigation. I used codes like "Form2.show" but I am not sure if it is the correct way to show form2 and make Form1 invisible or disabled.
i need a variable available in 2 different forms. how to do that?

View 5 RepliesI would like to know if it is possible to combine two forms in Visual Basic (with or without code written already in them) into one form. So that they are side by side. These are the forms that you start out with in Visual Basic to make your program (Not forums LOL).
View 2 RepliesWhen one of my students opened his project yesterday, the Form he designed for it was no longer available. He could run the program but he couldn't edit the form as it had disappeared. Later he couldn't run the program at all as the error said that the form name wasn't part of the WindowsApplication. What's going on?

View 1 RepliesI have multiple forms and I want to be able to navigate through each of them using buttons. "Next" and "Back" buttons would be used to navigate through the forms.I know that NickThissen has made a Wizard Control to do this, but I want to learn how to do something like this, but a bit more basic.
View 6 RepliesI have a background application with a couple of System.Timers.Timer running in it. I also have a NotifyIcon that when double clicked brings up a windows form.
My problem is that sometimes my form gets displayed but then for whatever reason it seems like it's losing focus and becomes un-usable (it just sits there in the background).
So here comes the question now... Can the freeze be caused by the form loading (i.e. me double clicking my NotifyIcon) and the timer tick happening the same time?
When opening new windows (forms) in my apps, I have opened then with ShowDialog because I wanted them to have full focus. I want to do the same again but I want to be able to minimize the whole app by the first window which is maximized.
For example, when I start the app, I have the main window which is the background to the program. Then as I open new windows in it, I want them to have full focus but still be able to minimize the entire app when needed. Is this possible? If so, how do I open the new windows from the main one?
