VS 2008 Background Of Form To Be The Same Color As The Window Frame Color That The User Selects
Jun 19, 2009
I want the background of my form to be the same color as the window frame color that the user selects, even if that changes. I selected System->WindowFrame as my background color, but it always remains a dark grey, regardless of what I have my window color set to. How else would I achieve what I want? I assumed I was doing it the correct way. Do I actually need code that gets the system window color and then apply it?

Can I make my toolstrip backcolor match my window frames color automatically? Since frames are controlled by themes, can I set the toolstrip color in the IDE using the System tab and selecting one of the options, say Inactive Border color?
For example, if my theme uses a blue frame color, can I tell the toolstrip backcolor to match it somehow?

I'm trying to change the background color of a node that is being hovered over while the user is dragging items from a list box.I've gotten both functions to work separately, but while the user is dragging, the NodeMouseHover event does not fire. Is there a way to do both?
vb Private Sub trvNavigation_DragEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles trvNavigation.DragEnter
If Me.CanMove(e) Then
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy
[Code]...
Note: CanMove() is a function I made that verifies the dragged data. Nothing else. And I will change "Color.Blue" to a system color later.

I can change the backcolour on a form but I want to be able to change the colour making the change the new default color. The book I am using shows this as an example so far:
'show the color dialog and if the user clicks the ok button,
'update the background color of the form
if colordialog1.showdialog = windows.forms.dialogresult.ok then
me.backcolor = colordialog1.color
end if
end sub

I am working on my first project, which has a ListBox to organise my tasks.I added a ComboBox where I can choose between the subjects. In my case the 2 posibilities in the ComboBox are "School" and "Others".If I add a new item to the Listbox (done by a TextBox and a Button) I also choose between School and Others.If I choose School I want the background color of only that line to be Red.If I choose Others I want the background color of only that line to be Blue.

I've been following you for some time, and many of the things you've done have helped me a lot, but this time I got stuck and need the help of an expert.I'll explain my case:I'm developing an assistance programme for an online game, and being this the 10th version I release, I wanted to do something special for the users, so I decided to make the programme based on tabs and give it the aspect of a new skin of the game that will be released soon.
As you may have guessed from the Title, I want to change the gray that is arround the flat buttons and on all the border of the tabcontrol, which is docked to the form. Here is a picture of the programme.To colour the tab buttons I used the following
Private Sub TabControl1_DrawItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs) Handles TabControl.DrawItem
[Code]...
The problem is that I don't understand how to apply the "A Completely OwnerDraw TabControl" to my project, my knowledge isn't so far yet. Is there any way I can achieve the same results using something simplier? Or if not, could someone explain to me how to apply it without making any mistakes?
