Binding - Centralized Control Of Data Forms From Toolbars
Dec 24, 2009what 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.

Jul 20, 2010Hi. 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?
Custom Toolbars In Browser?
Dec 6, 2009I'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 RepliesAdd Custom Icons Created Outside Excel To Toolbars?
Feb 6, 2010I 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.

Hiding Adobe Menus And Toolbars - Just Displaying PDF?
Dec 16, 2011I 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.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?
Pull Up Word Doc In Read ONLY Mode Not Toolbars Or Menus?
Aug 13, 2009I'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.

View 3 RepliesVS 2008 : Get 2 Forms To Close At Different Times Using A Timer On Each Of The 2 Forms?
Apr 21, 2010i 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.

Cannot View Forms In .net 2008

View 14 RepliesForms And Resizing In 2008?
Aug 12, 2009Currently, 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.

View 11 RepliesVS 2008 - Using More 3 Forms In A Project
Jul 28, 2010I 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.

View 6 RepliesVS 2008 Timers And Forms
Mar 18, 2011I 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?
VS 2008 Type Of Forms To Use?
Dec 26, 2011When 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?
