The following code works perfectly to allow moving a control on a form at run-time. However, when AutoScroll is set to True on Form1, and you drag Button1 past the right and/or bottom bounds of the form, it goes haywire. I really need someway to smoothing control the autoscroll so that as you scroll the control off the form, the scrollbars smoothly appear.

View 2 RepliesI have a panel that has 9 pictures boxes within it. I need the User to be able to create as many instances of this control as they like.
Then each control needs to be able to move freely within the form.
I've created the control and added the appropriate code to move it around the control.
I've made the control canvas the same size of the panel. The problem is that when I move the panel, it only moves within the bounds of the control canvas. I guess I could increase the size of the canvas, but then additional controls would still only be able to move within their bounds and it would come out all wrong.
Is there anything I could do about this? Or is there a better method?

View 13 Repliesi have a splitter control on tab 2, a grid and a scheduler control on tab 3..looks fine...i save it....close the form...reopen the form, and the controls are all resized and moved around on me....and not for the better.
wierd thing is that when i run the app, the controls are placed properly, but design time is totally f&*ked up.I know this one isn't me. is it the tab control? should i just do toggle buttons at the top and show/hide my own panels? this is just too freaky to deal with. is there an easy work around for this?
I have created simple windows form control with some events.
This form has button which opens Form with some settings.
Now, I need to raise the events inside the control when I click some buttons within the settings form ..
i want my form to save to the database every time a control lose focus. can i make it global or do i have to code it for each and every control i have?
Private Sub TextBox10_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox10.LostFocus
Me.Validate()

I've got a VB.Net form application that dynamically loads user controls based on which navigation link the user clicks on. I'd like to make it easier to use at Design time by putting a link of some sort to open the User Control at design time. The link would go onto the form in the space where the User Control will be going. This just saves a little time from having to browse through the files to open the correct file.
View 2 RepliesI've completed projects similar to this in the past but this one has me stumped. Trying to retrieve text from a text box in a third party application. Using SPY++ I found that this control is the second control in the list so I coded the following: Dim parentWindow as integer = windows.ReturnWindowHandle({windowname})
If parentWindow > 0 then
Dim childWindow as integer = FindWindowEx(parentWindow, 0, Nothing, {child window name})
Dim field as integer = 0
[Code].....
This worked great. Closed the app, came back the next day and this same code did not work. Used spy++ and found that the control had moved to the 4th position. Closed it, reopened it, this time it moved to the first. What is the best way to find this control each time when there are are 50+ controls on the screen and they all appear in spy++ like this:
Window 0022063A "" Edit
Window 00270652 "" Edit
Window 001A0630 "" Edit
and they continue to rearrange themselves each time the application is closed and reopened?
I need to determine which tab the user is coming from, and going to, when they switch tabs, and possibly cancel the switch. I have tried the Deselecting, Deselected, Selecting, Selected events, and all of them show the e.TabPageIndex to be the same as the sender.SelectedIndex.
Is there an event, or property, that I can use so that I can determine both sides of this, or do I have to hack something together with caching it from one event and using that value in the new event.
I am trying to avoid handling the Deselecting/Deselected events and caching the value to use in the Selecting event. I already know I can do this, so I am asking if there is a cleaner way, without doing this.
I have tried in both C# and VB, with the same results (no surprise).
I am just wondering how you can move a control toward the another control in VB.net. I have searched everywhere and cannot find a solution.

View 2 RepliesI've written my code to implement a new property and to set the content to this default text and grey the text whenever the textbox is empty, and to hide it when the user starts typing. This all works fine at runtime.[code]My question is this : If I place an instance of the control on a form, and set the DefaultText via the properties grid, why doesn't my Property Set code run?I'd expect the control on the form to show my new DefaultText in the control, but instead it remains blank. When I run the form it does display correctly, but just not at design time. I place a breakpoint in the DefaultText set property code and it simply doesn't run.

I have a datagrid control on my form that receives data from a device on the COM port. I strip out the data I need and put it into the currently selected cell. When I load the grid, I find the first empty cell and set the focus so each load presents the user with an empty cell to start receiving data. Once I get the measurement, I need to move to the next cell down (like hitting enter in the grid). This will allow the user to do measurements with the external device without having to move to the next cell.

View 12 RepliesI've got a Panel on a main Form containing a PictureBox control on Top of a TableLayout control. Both the child controls have their docking properties set to Top. The Picture control has sizemode set to Zoom.
What I'm finding is that the picture doesn't size properly when I start the app. There is a border at the top and bottom in the PictureBox control. It's only when I resize the overall form that it's correct.
So at the moment I've got this ugly bit of startup code, just to fix the problem Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
What am I missing?
