IN vb.net, how would i be able to create expandable forms? For example, you have a form , and you click a button, expanding the form to a new size. i currently hav a button that uses a while loop to increment the increasing and decreasing size to make it look animated. any other options?

I decided to play around with NickThissen's Expandable GroupBox control.Expandable GroupBox//When I add a control to my form and debug or build the project, the Text of the GroupBox changes to the default. The Name and anything I put inside of the GroupBox stays the same, however.I also noticed that the control resizes to it's default size when I build and/or debug.
View 4 RepliesIf I have a large number of classes, each similar to the other in certain aspects (they all share a common base class, but each does things differently), and I need to create Windows forms for each to allow easy changing of their values through a GUI? Create one matching form for each object in VS' forms designer, Or Use code to create the forms dynamically at runtime.
#2 makes the most sense to me, because a lot of these objects will share very common features of the form, notably "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons. But one object might need to draw a textbox on the form while another might need to draw a combobox. Not to mention, if I want to put icons on the "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons, I'd have to do this for each copy of the form in designer, and that sounds like it could get out of hand quickly.But is drawing forms through code sane? VS' forms designer is pretty sophisticated and designed to make life easier. Am I wise to consider ignoring its functionality and diving into the trench warfare of forms design through code? Or are there examples of automating form creation based on an existing object's properties?
I am completely Goggled out on this one. We currently have a datalist consisting of rows of data for our company. What I need to do is to add a link into the individual cells of a particular column called candidate profile. The link will be View Notes. When that link is clicked, I would like to have a new row expand right below the existing row to allow the additions of comments in the empty row. When the user comes to the page and there are existing comments for the row of data, have it expanded and give the user the ability to expand, or close the comments as they see fit. I also need to figure out the best way to allow the user to enter in the comments as well.

I am developing a small application using VS2008, the mdiparent has a expandable panel with Button 1 and Button 2 on it, which opens up child form 1 and child form 2. ( The two child forms are maximized within the mdiparent form)
The problem is, button 1 opens child form 1 and button 2 - child form 2. I cant open the two forms randomly. I have to close the topmost form to access the other forms below it and vice versa.
How to create web style forms in visual basic 2008
View 1 RepliesThe environment will not create a resource file for a newly created Windows Forms Application. When I add a button Visual Studio displays a dialog "File Exist". That'sall, plus an OK button. There is no file name or the file name is in unreadable characters.The dialog comes from Visual Studio because the title is "Microsoft Visual Studio".There is no resource file so it must be that the resource file cannot be created.I uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio 2008. It did not change anything.I believe the problem was caused by opening the same project rapidly twice on an i7 laptop. I have done this unintentionally before and I can testify that unpredictable
View 2 RepliesHow to create a data forms with the data forms wizard in VB 2005
View 6 RepliesI've designed my own encryption application in VB 2008 that has a free tools section where users can choose a particular wizard to use from the drop down. The javascript wizards display the code required to put in their own sites. I already created wizards that users can well, use.I see people have their own "contact form wizards" on their websites all the time. Where users can use the wizard and get the displayed code to copy and paste on their sites. But trying to locate source codes to these things is very aggravating on the web.So what I want to do is create my own "form wizard" like out of javascript, that allows the user to put in some information then get the displayed code to put in their own websites. I'm not looking for the generator such as the online form generators.But the javascript source code(s) for the generator itself.Then I could simply put a form generator inside of my VB-app, that will allow the user to use the wizard, then get the html code to paste in their own sites. Preferably not the PHP one because the php backend is very difficult to put in a VB app.I know that it can be done. For example copying a web pages source code then putting it inside a string, then calling that string from a button click that will open the javascript page in the webbrowser inside the VB app.

View 3 Repliesi have a problem with trying to get 2 forms to close at different times using a timer on each of the 2 forms.
This is my form layout:
Quote:
frmMain
Frm1
Frm2
Frm1 and Frm2 are identical to each other. FrmMain has 2 buttons on it. One button to call Frm1 and the other to call Frm2.Frm1 and Frm2 each has a timer. It counts down to 0 and then does a .close(). However, if i pause between clicking the second button they both seem to always disappears at the same time.I would do something like this...
Click on the first button (showing the Frm1 form)
wait about 10 secs...Click on the second button (showing the Frm2 form)they both are shown on screen...hen they both disappear at the same time.... which shouldn't happen since i clicked the Frm2 box 10 seconds AFTER Frm1... So Frm1 should hide before Frm2 does...but it does not.

View 6 RepliesNew to vb.net coming from vba. I am working on a mass balance model which collects a handful of 'user' data (less than 10 records) and then applies various equations to the data and records/reports the resulting values. I think I have a pretty good handle on the basic operators for a single 'user', having pretty extensive vba knowledge. However, I am having difficulty saving the new 'user' data and creating new 'users'. I need to keep the app as simple as possible for deployment to machines with nothing more than 2.0 and I do not really need a database, just a simple method of creating multiple 'users' as objects.

My aim is to have a textbox in which a page of information is already written for the user to read. This box will have a vertical scrollbar, so I can't simply superimpose a button over the textbox.
