VS 2008 - Create A Custom Control That Has A Cursor Like A Regular Text Box
Nov 19, 2009
I want to create a custom control that has a cursor like a regular text box, I tried using a line and a timer that makes the line 'Blink', but that wasn't too reliable because I had to change the location and background in the timer... I guess I could do it, but I wanted to ask my question here.
Basically what I am doing is creating a custom control to allow inputs as in fractions, sub/superscripts, etc.... The TextBox Control doesn't support text in that many locations.
I was trying to create a custom currency control text box, but I am getting an error that I don't understand.I am getting the following error message when I use it with databinding:"Object of type 'System.EventHandler' cannot be converted to type
How do you call the text that appears when holding cursor on a control as an explanation and how to implement it??? It has to be easy but I don't know how to do it For example Microsoft application functions all have it?
how to specify a custom icon for display in the toolbox window when you create your own custom control? Something other than the dreaded "gearbox" icon.
I am using custom textboxes and I need to be able to set the Text on txb1 based on the Text of txb2. I have simplied my code to the following:
Public Class customtextbox Inherits TextBox Public Event ControlReset()
[Code]....
So, when txb1 looses focus, if its Text is "fried", then it sets off txb2's ProcessAlert function. I had tried to change the value of txb2 Text in ProcessAlert function, but didnt work, so I tried to get it to raise an event instead, which then tries to set the Text property. However I still cant set txb2's Text property. The Text property seems to be set for the duration of the "life" of the Event handler. When I step through the forms controls within the Event handler, the changed Text value is there, but not outside of the Event handler.
This VS010 solution is not providing my intended outcome as a custom override of a 'crosshair' or 'reticle' cursor e.Graphics.DrawPath() is the function that isn't working. This
WORKING solution demonstrates how it's supposed to work. The additonal PictureBox added to a Panel is, for reasons I don't understand, not allowing the 'new' cursor to appear.

create a regular expression. It is a little like a search and replace, I want to replace any string that contains any substring in parentheses with the same string but the words in parentheses colored RED.
Eg Take this text in TextBox1:
"The Prime Minister (that idiot from Scotland) made a speech today"
and convert to this text in RichTextBox1:
"The Prime Minister (that idiot from Scotland) made a speech today"
So, I'm working on a custom LitBox that accepts custom items. needed the item collection to be more than just strings, I needed to be able to store avalue to display in the listbox and an associated value (Property: Text) that holds an index value (Property: Tag) of DataTable I'm working with.I have created the new item (iListBoxItem) and the collection (iListBoxItemCollection) and have modified everything so that I can do normal Collection type methods (Add, InsertAt, RemoveAt, etc) to this collection.
vb Imports System.ComponentModel Public Class iListBox
I added an ICON (called pencil) file in my resources in vb.net, I tried several codes to change the cursor... like this
Public Class Form1 Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.pencil) Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Is there a way to create a custom cursor when doing a DnD operation? For example, if I'm dragging a button control I would like the cursor to look like a rectangle that is the same size as the button.
This is what I would like to achieve:To create a custom messagebox, with varying number of buttons with custom .Text descriptions, and other features. I intended to have a property array that would be redim-ed and have values (.Text values) set by the calling class:
I have a routine that iterates thru a collection and I want to print each iteration into a TextBox without having the second iteration overprint the first and so on. How do I position the text cursor between each iteration thru the 'For Each' that I am using?
I'm using a CheckGroup in a project found here. There were several things in the code that needed fixing to really be useful to me:The fact that the panel in the regular groupbox overlapped the checkbox control so that the bottom of some letters were being cut off. When changing the back color of the groupbox, it didn't change the back color of the checkbox. Fixing these two problems was easy, but fixing the second one led to a new problem. When changing the backcolor of the groupbox to Transparent, it also changes the backcolor of the checkbox to Transparent, thus displaying the text for both the checkbox and the groupbox's header.
I have a user control, and want to be able to update its cursor while it is disabled. For example, say that I have a user control whose cursor is Default. The below code works ONLY when the user control is already enabled; if it is disabled the below code doesn't work and the cursor remains Default: Me.MY_USER_CONTROL.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.WaitCursor
I have been asked to build a custom wizard control in VB.NET for a windows forms project. It has been made very clear to me that I am not "allowed" to utilize existing wizard controls on the internet due to some obscure logic surrounding copyrights. It has also been made clear to me that we are not "allowed" to use usercontrols in the software.
This is similar to my last post but with a different purpose.I have built a custom control, but when I set the properties for it... ALL instances of that control on my page grab the exact same property. I need to be able to set the property to "abc" for one instance of the control on my page, and then set the exact same proprty to "xyz" for a different instance of the control on the same page.
I know that you can create custom formats for the DateTimePicker control, and I've googled this but is there any way that you can allow a user to only select Sunday dates in a Month with this control?
I'm trying to create a simple transparent PANEL control. I want to create a custom control based on the existing Panel Control with a property added called "transparent" which can be set to true or false. If it's set to true it's transparent(not invisible). So if I place it over some controls in a form say a button or text box... they are visible but disabled.

I have previously used the arguments of a contentsResized event on a Winforms richtextbox to get the new size of my RTB. I am now developing a WinForms app with a custom WPF RichTextBox. My whole reason for doing this is to use the out-of-the-box spellchecker. I need my RichTextBox to expand and collapse vertically as the text is changed. The elementhost will also have to resize to allow the whole RTB to display on-screen.
