I am trying to change to form backcolor from one colour to another with a time delay of 1 second. I have tried various things without success and this is the best I can come up with:[code]The problem I am getting is the colour is not changing until the loop has finished.

View 1 RepliesI have noticed that a form's keydown method has a slight delay the first time you hold a button. How do I get rid of it?
View 3 RepliesI know that time delays have been covered before around almost everywhere. however a method that forgoes forcing the GUI to become temporarily non-responsive, is all but a myth, or at least to my findings. i have the need for a GUI program to delay before the next command, however using the current method, detailed following, it causes the desired effect however it dose make it much less polished as when you click anything else on the GUI it goes un-responsive for the directed time. [Code] make a sub called say Tdelay( milseconds as integer) and have it run a loop as many times as the milseconds variable indicates and each time making the thread delay for 1 milsecond and then update the GUI/form in some way, then re-loop.

View 3 RepliesSo im makeing class, where i need to change BackColor for part of form..What i meen is, i need to change forms BackColor, but not for all form, but for, example 20px from top..
View 5 RepliesWhen I change the BackColor for a Form, and then add new buttons, they have by default the same BackColor as the Form itself. That does not show on my Windows 7 development computer, but when I use the program on an XP machine, all buttons appear the same color as the form.
I correct this by changing the button's BackColor property to ButtonFace, but it is a pain to do it all the time and some times it gets past me and a wrong color button goes into the application.
Is there a way to change how this works so all buttons are placed with ButtonFace BackColor by default?
How can I change a form's backcolor to gradient one. The code (VB.Net) -
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(New Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(New PointF(Me.Width, 0),
New PointF(Me.Width, Me.Height), Color.FromArgb(0, 58, 140),
Color.FromArgb(0, 215, 255)), New RectangleF(0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height))
'fade from left to right
This code changes the form's background to a gradient one. It works fine. Now I want this to take place in an MDI form which will be a container for other forms. If I turn option IsContainer = False then it works but otherwise it does now. How can I change backcolor of MDI Form to a gradient one ?

View 2 RepliesI created 3 Forms (Form1, Form2 and Form3) and I added a button on every form. This is code for Button1 on Form1:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Form2.BackColor = Color.Red
Form3.BackColor = Color.Red
Me.Hide()
Form2.Show()
End Sub
Code for Button1 on Form2:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Close()
Form3.Show()
End Sub
Code for Button1 on Form3:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Close()
Form2.Show()
End Sub
Now, the problem is that when I click on Button1 on Form3 it shows Form2 but the Form2 BackColor is not red, it is default color, A.K.A Control Color. But I specified in Button1 on Form1 that Form2.BackColor is Red. And also if I click on Button1 on Form2 when Form3 shows it, the Form3 BackColor is also default, it is not red.
I know one way to solve it but it is so not-professional. It is that you add on Button1 on Form2 this:
Form3.BackColor = Color.Red
and on Button1 on Form3 this:
Form2.BackColor = Color.Red
It is ok in this situation but what if I have more stuff, for example if I have an option for changing theme so it has to change all labels and buttons ForeColor, what then, is there any other way?
I would like to change the colour of my tabs, i have searched and what I found changed the tabs, but caused it to change colour to the right of the tabs which I would like to be black. I have used this:

Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics

I'm trying to make the BackColor of each row the same when a certain field is equal. When it reaches a row where this field is not equal to the previous one, it changes the BackColor property of the row.
Below is what I've come up with... but all the rows are remaining the same color. From what I can tell i'm changing the DefaultCellStyle.BackColor property and that applies to all cells, not just the current row in the loop. What property do I change to only affect the current row in the loop?

I am working with cases, I'm only learning it so far, but just can't get a drop down menu to work that would change the background of a Textbox.
Private Sub cbColours_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cbColours.SelectedIndexChanged
Select Case colours
Case Is = "Red"
txtSpace.BackColor = Color.Red

It isn't doing anything at all...
In the dropdown menu, it has
Red, Blue and Green one per line
When the value (e.g. Green) is clicked, it will then change the Textbox to the colour selected.
Is it possible to click on a textbox and change its colour?

I've created a Form with 1600 Panels. Which are all called Panel (1-1600).
E.g. Panel1, Panel2, Panel500, Panel1000, Panel1600
I want a code so that if you click one of the Panels, the BackColor of the panel you clicked on, turns from Control to Red
I think there is an easier code than just adding this:
Private Sub Panel1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Panel1.Click
If Panel1.BackColor = "Control" Then
Panel1.BackColor = "Red"
Else
Panel1.BackColor = "Control"
End If
End Sub
To every single panel.

View 2 RepliesI have a large number of textboxes on a form that are set to read-only until the user clicks an Unlock button. I have left the default colouring in place (no code required), so the boxes are light grey when read-only and change to white when not read-only. The problem I have is that Windows Vista's colours are so insipid and pale that it's hard to spot the difference on some monitors. It all looks good on an XP desktop but the difference is too subtle on a Vista PC.
Can the default colouring of a read-only textbox be changed? I know I can change it in code with backcolor but I don't want to put loads of code behind my Unlock button. That's the way I did it in VB6 and I want to get away from that. I just want to use the default "greying out" action when making the texbox read-only, but change to a slightly darker grey.

View 1 RepliesI was asked to create a slide show in Visual Basic 2010 that had to meet certain requirements but I've run into a few difficulties. I have a slide show that works but it doesn't meet my friends standard and I'm not sure how to go about this process.He asked me to meet these requirements: The Slide Show Project requirements of your project are:
1. The use of if statements.
2. The use of arrays.
3. The use of loops.
4. The use of graphics.
5. The use of key/mouse controls.
6. The use of images.
7. Allow user to set delay time for each photo.
8. Transition effects 1: Fade in, fade out
9. Transition effects 2: Fly in, Fly out
10. The use of timers.
11. Borderless, always centered.
12. Introduction Screen, Credit Screen.
13. innovations, special feature.
The code that I had previously came up with was as follows:
Public Class Form1
Private ImageFileNames As New List(Of String)
Private CurrentImage As Integer = -1[code].....
I pre-loaded my own photos into the slide show but I just want to know how to right this code in order to satisfy my friend.
