I have a problem in right aligning a toolstrip on the status strip of the form. It has a property alignemnt set to right but it still remains on the left side of the container.
How to put a control near the right side of the status strip?
I've got a StatusStrip...and I'm trying to initialize some code when it gets focus...so clicking on it should give focus to it right? I've tried the following

I am writing to a txt file from vb.net. I cant write 2 columns of data and have the 2nd col start at same place. Col1 is OK but col2 starts at different places depending on how big col1 ,row data is. How do I force this as currently I use tabs but again this doesn't work.
Private Sub write_file()
w = File.AppendText(filename)
eqNo += 1
count += 1
If count > 2 Then '2nd col
w.WriteLine()

View 2 Repliesive been trying to get statusstrips merging so i can click a label to bring the child form to the front when i have multiple childforms open. I have this code which does work but on closing it leaves the label on the mdiparent and also im struggling with the bring back to front code. i dont want it to open another form just bring it back to front. I have statusstrip set to visible false on my childform. heres some code for merging, this is in mdi parent:-
Private Sub Form1ToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Form1ToolStripMenuItem.Click

I really want to make use of the toolstrip and databinding but these two technologies keep conflicting with each other. I think the root cause is something to with the fact that the toolstrip buttons don't recieve focus in the normal way.
I invite you to try the following:-
1. Create a form and put some text boxes a tool strip with a save button on it.
2. Write a query or sproc to get a datatable back and bind your text boxes to the field in the datatable.
3. In the code behind your Save ToolStripButton put some code that makes an arbitrary change to a field on the dataset (it doesn't matter whther this field is bound to a text box or not). eg:-
m_DataTable.Rows(0).Item("CommissionRatePerc") = "0.0000"
4. Put a breakpoint in the save and run the form.
5. Make some changes in the text boxes. Do not leave the last text box but rather click save while a text box whose contents you have edited still has focus.
6. When your code hits the breakpoint, query the value of the data table field that is bound to the text box you were editing when you clicked save - it will still contain the unedited value. Unless you do something about it that unedited value is going to get saved back to your DB.
We did get around this problem by explicetely setting the focus to another control on the form before saving. That worked most of the time because it prompts the text box to flush it's value back to the datatable (nb EndEdit does not work, although you'd have expected it to). However, and this is the reason I suggested you add a line of code that changed a value in the underlying datatable in step 3, if you change a value in code in this way before the value from the text box get's flushed back then it doesn't seem to matter what you do, the user's current edit is simply lost. They will still show in the text box, though, leading your user to believe that the change has been committed when it hasn't. Our final solution is that we never ever change a value in the adtaset in the code behind our toolstrip buttons. That's working but it's a pretty big restriction.
Why does this happen?
View 2 RepliesI have a base form which has toolstrip. I am loading few icons to the toolstrip through the code as given below
mnuFind.Image = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath & "ImagesSearch.ico")
mnuSave.Image = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath & "ImagesSave.ico")
This code is in the form load event of the base form.
At the design time the images are displayed in the form.
The problem is in the inherited form. The inherited form is not loaded in the designer window. It gives the following error.
The service System.Windows.Forms.Design.IEventHandlerService already exists in the service container. Parameter name: serviceType
Some times it says it cannot find the image in the installation path of Visual studio.
If I remove the icons loading in the base form it works fine.
How do i change the font of the entire form/application by having a box to pop up for user to choose what font size, style he/she wants. I've got a toolstrip labeled Font already but i cant find any tutorial teaching me what code to place inside.

So I am adding StaticTextField controls to a page. This is using ExtJS, but we use VB.NET methods to add ExtJS so we don't actually have to write it.I tried using
.Style = "text-align:right"But that isn't working, in fact it isn't doing anything. Here is the whole code of one of the controls:

Anyone have any idea why these aren't right aligning using CSS? For some reason, if I try to use the same code above (the CSS), to try and right align comboboxes, or number fields, it works, and they are located right underneath these static controls, but it's not working for static controls. They need to be static because we don't want the "box" outline on each of the values, we just want it to be text, nothing else on the screen.
i created a panel with few buttons, all buttons have the same size, most buttons hold images, 2 of them hold string (1 or 2 digit) the string buttons will not align with the rest of them, and i have no idea why ?

I added a setting in my.settings, the setting is a listbox, and I know you can put controls in a listbox, but for some reason it will not let me add a toolstripmenuitem to the listbox in my settings. Is there a fix to this?
View 5 RepliesIn my project, I was first using two ListViews with a few buttons on the side to control actions (add files, remove files, etc). Now, I thought it looked neater if I incorporated those buttons into a ToolStrip, and put the ListViews into a SplitContainer.So I did... One SplitContainer, on the left side a ListView (docked Full) + ToolStrip (docked Top), on the right side exactly the same.
All of a sudden, (it seems to be pretty random), the right ListView (never the left one) seems to jump 'on top of' the ToolStrip. It looks as if the Z-Order changes so that the docking screws up, but after looking at the Document Outline, it is all still fine. The ToolStrip just seems to disappear from view completely. I have no idea where it went.Then, when I select the ToolStrip in the Component bar (what is that called? where you can see the control icons only for controls such as Dialogs etc), it suddenly pops up again, in the right place! And the ListView scales down a bit so everything is correct once again...
As soon as I select another control, the Listview jumps back up and the Toolstrip disappears again...At first I thought well, not really a problem since I can just select the ToolStrip from the component bar... Nope... It seems that the ToolStrip is also hidden during
I thought it was just a one-off bug and deleted the whole SplitContainer to build it up again. Five minutes later, it happened again.I decided to throw away to complete project and go back to a slightly older version (with the Buttons instead of the ToolStrip) and try it again.Nope, same problem! I have tried to reproduce the bug in a clean project, but no luck...
Now, I allow the user to drag the ToolStrip to the bottom and sides of the form. But when they drag it to the sides, the ToolStripPanels become completely stretched because the text is still drawing horizontally. I know I can set the TextDirection property to make it draw vertically, but I can't figure out how to check the current position of the ToolStrip, and when to check it (which event?)
I have tried the LocationChanged event and did this:
vb.net
Private Sub ts_LocationChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

I want to align a sample of data that is reproduced in the ListBox so that it would look neat. However, I have failed to find any alignment related property available for ListBoxes. Therefore, I would appreciate an expert advise on how to invoke it without extensive coding.

View 5 RepliesI converted a VB6 application to VB.Net and in doing so, I seem to have lost the ability to auto-align the controls on the form. I thought I could change that in the "Tools > Options > Windows Forms Designer > General" area but that doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any ideas? I really don't need to use a grid for aligning since the auto-align functionality can be used but I just don't know how to get it back.

aligning text into columns in a textbox.
I need it to look like the following:

I've seen several representations of how to do this in VB6, but I would prefer managed code (VB.net). Also, I want to make sure that what appears in the textbox will translate to the printed page the same way.
I am new with VB 2010, I am starting a new personal project to control a browser based game for meWhat i have done so far is made a Windows Forms Application, with three tabs all with web browser and directing to the game.What i am having trouble with so far is to align the page so it is just the flash box of the game on the web site, so all i see in my window is the game and nothing more of the website.Also trying to work out how i can allow each tab to have a different account but on the same url address. A little bit like multifox made by firefox.
View 4 RepliesI'm coding a Windows Forms App that has a StatusStrip that displays status informations to the user, and hints when the mouse is over relevant things. However, when the program is on it's minimal window size, the text sometimes is bigger than the whole StatusStrip, and the label simply dissapears. There must be a workaround to this, ideally I'd like it to auto ellipsis when the text is bigger than the window allows. But how?
