Not really sure what's going on here, but basically I got a new Component/Addon for my Windows Forms. I go and reference it to the Toolbar, which it accepts, and the 3 new components pop up on the screen, all fine and dandy.However, I go and press OK to add them to a group, and nothing happens. They aren't added. So, I try again, same thing. Thinking it could be a bug with the new Component, I make a new group and try to add a built in item to it, and to my surprise, nothing happens as well.
I need help with images for a toolbar control for vb 2008. I think I remember there was a way of creating them with VS6 in the C++ department. Maybe not. I would be happy to use them off the web but I can't find a link. Or maybe we have some in Visual Studio in some uncommon folder?
I have been learning VB2008 and have been working a little with the toolstrip. While this question isn't really urgent, I've been thinking down the road about images and image libraries that I would like to build and use in my programs. I am thinking I should set up my own library so that all programs I write will have the same look (at least as often as I want them to).
1) What does everyone use to create images? What programs, features, etc. are important? Eg. I have MSPaint and and old version of CorelDraw but have never really used them to high quality stuff.
2) Are people just using the images provided in VB2008 Pro?
3) What should I consider when working with images for use in Windows Forms programming? Currently I am not doing any web work.
I'm migrating VB6 application to VB.NET 2008In the old app I have a toolbar with icons which are stored in an imageList.Now I can't find how to link the imageList to toolbar (which is now called "ToolStrip"). It's so confusing.
i want to design a new program that should start with windows and its icon should appear at the toolbar the idea is when i click on the icon a rectangular forum should appear. my question is that: what is the best tool or control should i use? should i use the blank project of windows application or there is special project for that.
I am currently working on building a kiosk, and I have to make the pdf reader part in vb.net. The pdf reader should have following functionalities. 1. It should be able to print the pdf showing by clicking a button saying PRINT instead of the adobe reader print button
2. I must hide the menu bar, navigation bar, etc from the adobe reader AxAcroPDF because it is a touch screen application and we don't want people to be able to get any access to the actual computer.
I've two forms Form1 and Form2, I want to add container(*) in form2 having toolstrip(Toolbar) and later want to display that container(containing toolstrip) in Form1, that enable the user to use toolstrip to execute needed actions written in form2.
Working with a form that has a menu, toolstrip and Crystal Viewer control. I cannot seem to get the viewer to maximize properly without hiding the toolbar of the Crystal Control behind the menu and toolstrip. I've played with the options of Dock and Alignment, as well as autosize and I just can't get it to work.So do I need to handle the sizing myself to do this and position the control where I need it?
I am trying to add a toolbar to my app and I would like to use larger icons than the standard 16x16. An older VB6 app that I created had large icons but I cannot figure out how to get my VB.net app to change to use the large icons.
I can't find an answer to this question anywhere. How do I add a control to the toolbar? I clicked Add reference and added the Microsoft Internet Transfer Protocol, but I can't see it on the toolbar. I also tried with another reference, but couldn't get it there either.
So, should it be there or am I completely wrong? Quirky commenters, please choose another thread. I just want an answer.
EDIT: To make it easier from the start for you guys: I use version 2008.
In .net MDI application the menu of child form automatically is merged to the menu of parent form.Is there a way to do similar thing with the tool bars.The concept is to send the toolbar of active child to the parent toolbar stripe
I hava a MDI form toolbar with command buttons and a picturebox on it.The problem is when I maximize the MDI form on runtime. The picturebox does not change its location to extreme right. I would like to have the picturebox on right hand side of the toolbar all the time, wether MDI form is maximized or in resized condition.
How does one go about creating their own toolbar for Internet Explorer, or something along those lines? I've been doing some digging around the web, but nobody has really made it clear whether or not it's possible to do with vb.net. I tend to keep in mind that there is almost nothing that isn't possible in vb.net but that's almost.
I am using Vb 2008, and im trying 2 enable a copy button thats in a toolbar until there is text selected in my rich text box. (normal state of the button is disabled.)
my code is below
If Editor.SelectionLength > 1 Then CopyToolStripMenuItem.Enabled = True End If End Sub
I am thinking about make a toolbar like... the quick launch toolbar, with autohide, top position (opposite of start/task bar), skinnable, etc.Is this possible? I need it to work with XP and Vista. I am using Visual Studio 2008, VB.NET.
I am using VS2010 Pro and can no longer see the step into command buttons on the toolbar. That and the step out have disappeared. I know I had many more toolbar buttons across the top that I don't see now but the debug toolbar is checked but there isn't even the step into or step out options to add to the toolbar.
I have created a toolbar on my form and added icons (.ico or .png) such as New, Open, Save, etc. I can't seem to find out how to make my icons transparent so I don't have the white background displayed on the icons.
I must be loosing my mind! I came back to working on a small project after not being able to work on it for some time and now the IDE layout is totally different. For instance, there used to be a toolbar that showed a run button, step into, step over and such but now its not there, and, for the life of me I can't find it! I went to reseting the layout options to default, VB and so forth but cannot find it. In addition, when I hit F5 nothing happens. I can't figure out how to run my project from the IDE. Have I lost my mind or what?
I have created a non-modal form which has a listbox and progress bar class. I would like to update the progressbar and add information to the list box as the code is running but I cannot access those classes on the form from other classes and modules inside my vb.net 2003 app.
I can add a link to my toolbar by dragging the shortcut onto it, and Process.Start(lnk) runs it so far so easy, and i end up with e.g. lnk = "C:Documents and Settings....XXX.lnk"
how to extract the Icon assosciated with the shortcut lnk
