I have a borderless form that I'm "docking" onto the top edge of my screen. Inside of the form, I'm placing a single toolstrip control, which docks across the entire form -> (picture the taskbar to get an idea of what I'm talking about).Because the borderless form has no edge to it, I wanted to draw a black line along the bottom edg` of the form to differentiate the form from the windows or desktop behind it.
The problem that I'm facing is that`the toolstrip will not move "behind" the line when it's docked, no matter how I order the control layers.
I've tried programatically sending the control to back to no avail either.
Any ideas on how to get the line to show above the docked toolstrip?
I have two controls (for example the dockable toolbars) on my main form. Now one to the Left L1, and other to the right R1 now when I resize these controls during run time, slowly by a timer , L1 goes pleasantly.(Because size reduction happens from right to left on a control).
On R1, the problem is different, since it is docked right, every time it is resized, it starts flickering...
I have a SplitContainer on a form that has 2 panels. The top panel has a FlowPanelLayout control docked in it and the bottom panel has a DataGridView docked in it. I want the top panel to be collapsed when the form is first shown. As the user adds controls to the FlowPanel I want to grow the top panel just enough to see the controls and visa versa. When the user removes controls from the FlowPanel I want to shrink the top panel. If no controls exist I want the top panel to collapse again.
Can I do this by changing properties of all the controls at design time, because I can't figure out the right combination to make it work? Or do I have to do this programmatically?
I use panel.controls.add to add controls to the panel. But... they insert at the very top of it.
I tried the BringToFront and SendToBack methods, but does'nt seem to be working.
what i want, is that they dock at the top of the container, but if there is another docked control there, the new one is displayed below that one...
I'm using vb2008 Is that possible to change the pointer from left to right to right to left in the TextBox.
View 4 RepliesIs there a way to detect when a laptop is docked or undocked? I know how to get the "dock" status of a laptop using GetCurrentHwProfile. So is there some type of event raised when a laptop gets docked/undocked that we can catch? I did do something similar in the past for the detection of USB devices using a ManagementEventWatcher ...
View 2 RepliesI have a maximized form that has controls at the top of it and a large DataGridView that is docked below all the controls. Its kind of like the Ribbon in MS Office. The controls cover about 1/4 of the screen at the top. I would like a way for the user to click a button to hide all the controls then automatically expand into the place the controls were so the user can view more data in the DataGridView and visa versa. For example, in MS Office Excel you can hide the ribbon by clicking a tiny button that has "^" on it.
I'm not very familiar with all the controls in Visual Studio so I would like to hear some recommendations. Is this situation ideal for a SplitContainer or ToolStripContainer or am I way off base here?
I am wondering if anyone has any idea how to make the controls stack and fill up the available space left by a control if the control is hidden or removed from the UltraGridBagLayoutPanel.
Example:
[Textbox 1]
[Textbox 2]
[Textbox 3]
[Textbox 4]
[Textbox 5]
If I hide [Textbox 3] as of now, it will disperse the space left equally and pad the remaining text boxes with the space. However, I would like it to do this...
[Textbox 1]
[Textbox 2]
[Textbox 4]
[Textbox 5]
Where all the text boxes will move up and [Textbox 4] will completely consume the space left by [Textbox 3].
What I'd like to do is position Form2 underneath the Label on Form1 when the "down arrow" button is clicked. (Basically Form2 should have the same "Left" as the Label on Form1, and its "Top" should be the Top of Label1 plus the Height of Label1.) Please see attached images for further clarification. (I did something like this in VB6 with the SetCursorPos API and the Screen.TwipsPerPixelX and Screen.TwipsPerPixelY properties, but I'm sure there is a better way to do this in .NET.)
View 7 RepliesHow to control a progres bar from left to right, right to left, bottom to top and top to bottom ? and i have a problem: see code below 'for an example :: when a text changed from 4000 to higher value ,bar show a movement slowly but when a text changed from 4000 to lower value the progres bar change directly

It only recognizes that a control key is pressed. How do you use LControlKey or RControlKey?

I've created another header row for a gridview programmatically. In this row I have a few controls including a label that I want to align all the way to the left of the cell. The one cell has a columnspan of 7 so it runs across the entire gridview. how do i align that label programmatically?
Dim cell As New TableCell
Dim lblfilter As New Label
Dim row As New GridViewRow(-1, -1, DataControlRowType.Header, DataControlRowState.Normal)

Normally I can get the webbrowser control in my vb.net application to scroll using the following code after the webpage loads into the webbrowser control: WebBrowserPageView.Document.Window.ScrollTo(50, 50)
But when the webpage uses the dom to update the page after the page loads, the scroll bars will scroll for half a moment to 50,50 but then snap back to 0,0.
How can I get the Item top, left, width and height properties in a ListView control?
In VB6 we use to do something like this:
Private Sub ListView1_ItemClick(ByVal Item As MSComctlLib.ListItem)
Debug.Print Item.Left, Item.Top
End Sub
I came across a post a while back which showed a custom rich textbox control which had line numbers in its margin. Similar to what you woudl see if you we coding in the VB designer and you had your line numbers viewable.
I think it was two controls in one (i.e. two textboxes: one for the numbers, and the other for the text). However I cannot remember where I saw it.
How can I get x and y coordinates of a control's location on a form relative to the Screens Top Left corner?
For example, if I have 3 labels on a form and I want label2 and label3 to display the x and y of label1 relative to the screens top and left corner.
When running the app, as the form's possition is changed label 2 and 3 update the coordinate of Label1's possition relative to the top left of the screen.
Is there a way to override/modify/create the left-side shortcut buttons in the SaveFileDialog or OpenFileDialog controls? Defaults are "My Recent Documents", "Desktop", "My Documents", "My Computer", "My Network"... how would I change "My Recent Documents" to "My Super Cool Folder"?

I got a panel that i am adding labels to. I have autoscroll enabled on it so when they fill the viewable space it scrolls. but i need to put the labels to the left unviewable space(when left scroll is already at 0) The label is placed but i dont get the scroll bars and i cant force it to scroll to a - value.
Is this even possible? Same thing with UP.
Or is the Scroll only limited to Bottom and Right?

I just have a few problems regarding my application, any suggestions would be great, thanks. (I'm quite new to this stuff, making an application(s) for fun haha.)
1) I'm planning to distribute this application, but the problem is if I send it to another computer the user will most likely not be "Home2" and this code wouldn't work right?.
Code:

File.SetAttributes("C:Documents and SettingsHome2Start MenuProgramsStartupexample.exe", attribute)

I was wondering, if there is a way to use httpwebrequest post method to send data to a PHP function directly (no forms, or whatever)
so for example, i have this PHP function, which writes to a file:
<?php
$File = "textfile.txt";
$Handle = fopen($File, 'a');
[Code]....
Now, i have a form which would usually post the text which should be writen, so, can this be done directly, without that form, using httpwebrequest in VB?
I created a simple user control and everything went fine.Then I created another of the same control (as a different project) from scratch (creating the controls in a different configuration; but pasting code from the previous one from a text file).As far as I know I did everything the same for creating a user controlCreate a Class Library project Then Project>Add New Item> User Control Then delete the initial class that was added automatically (usually named Class1.vb) Put all of my code and components into the user control class.However, when I wanted to run it in the debugger as I did in the previous project, I now get an error message:"A project with an Output Type of Class Library cannot be started directly."
