VS 2008 Getting Custom Sectiongroup
Dec 16, 2009
I have a dll application that has its own app.config file associated with it.It has custom sectiongroups, sections, element collections, etc.The application name is WireShopAutomation.dll, so the built config ends up as WireShopAutomation.dll.config.The problem is that I seem to be unable to open the section group.The error message is:"Could not load type 'WireShopAutomation.cfgSectionGroup_WireShopMain' from assembly 'WireShop Automation'"It seems to find the config file, but not the class handler for the section group and possibly the assembly itself.The class handler for this is in the same project as the application itself.[code]I should've also indicated that I can see the properties of configuration file in the Config object. In fact, I can even see the WireShopAutomation_Main section group. However, it can't seem to access it.

I came across this great article on creating a custom datagridview column which creates a graph-like effect in the cells of a custom datagridview column:[URL]..Does anyone know how you would edit this to format the number in the cell as a percentage? And does anyone know how you would set this up to take 0 values which do not create any graph effects at all.I have been trying to do this but keep getting errors.

I was trying to block the closing of a custom combo box popup window in my custom DataGrid. The popup window comes by pressing F4 or ALT+DOWN keys in my datagrid which is getting closed if I press the down arrow for the first time, after showing the first value in the combo box as selected. Next time onwards, if I press the F4 key and down arrow, I can move to any item in the popup window and select the item using keyboard and in that case, the popup window is not getting closed till I press the ENTER key or selection using the Mouse. Is there any specific reason for this behaviour or something is missing in my code part? [code]...

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.

How would I use "custom Hotkeys"? For example, if my textbox's text is F5, then how would I use GetAsyncKeyState to get "F5"?

i have a list object that i am displaying on a dgv, most of the properties are straight forward but it contains a list within it. I am trying to display some of the properties of the list within a combobox column for the dgv but what i end up with is an identical combobox for each row which contains all the info for the entire list of items. here is the relevent code which constucts the combobox column.
Public Class frmJobs
Private Sub DataGridView1_RowsAdded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowsAddedEventArgs) Handles

I've not really worked with them before, well at all really. How would I go about creating a control which has multiple picture boxes, so then I can access each picturebox and refer to them via custom properties? I'm not aware you can draw several picture boxes and combine them into one control?

I am writing a program and I need a way for the user to input information into a pop up screen, i.e. may be up to 10 settings for the program. I have looked at using a parent and child form but it seems somewhat difficult to pass data between forms. I have also looked at custom dialog boxes but it seems like there would be an easier way? Is there a way that a form or similar box could pop up when a button on form1 was pressed and then the user could make the needed selections and then click ok on form 2. This would then save the selections to some global variable that could be accessed by form1 after form 2 has been closed?

I am using VS/VB 08 together with access 07 for my project. I am trying to fill my datagridview using a custom SQL query where the "where" criteria is altered to accept the column name from the selection of the user. When a user clicks on a column in the datagrid I want that column to be represented in the query. This is what I have but is not working. Is this possible by the way?

i've been trying to use customcontrols made in vb.net 2008 but when i try to add them to a vba form using
Dim x as new MyCustomControl.Usercontrol
Me.Controls.Add(x)
it returns "activex can't create object" The control itself has nothing special, it's just random textboxes and a few buttons. why i can't use the control?
Edit: TLB has been addeded on references.

Also im creating a orb like thing in the top left and a minimize/maximize/close button at the top right. I was going to use just images...is this the best way or can i create better graphics in wpf or something like that? Some more things that i would like but dont nessarly need would be the capablity to make my form with the clear vista aero glass instead of a single static color...i dont know mutch about this but is there an easy way to extend the vista aero glass theme across forms and if so what would that look like on xp machines.

I would like to generate some custom dialog boxes that I can call from anywhere in my project.
The easiest example I can give is of a form that waits for two numbers to be entered then returns their sum. I want to call it like a function ie. sum = add_two_numbers( " Enter the numbers you want to add then click add)This is not what I actually want to do, that is far more complex, this just a simple way to explain what I want to do. If I can do this I can do what I really want.
Essentially I want forms that will accept some input, process it and return a string. A bit like an input inputbox, an openfiledialog box or a fontdialog box. I also need to pass strings to it.I can do it if I use a function declared in a module which calls the form and then returns the value once it is calculated but isn't there a simpler more elegant method?

Is this possible? Must be surely but I've tried and come up short. I've created a very basic class (person) with 2 public properties, forename, surname. My user control is databound to this class and has 2 textboxes to store the properties.
I've built the control and can add the user control to a windows form but how can I add to a new user control (Staff) which will show my 2 existing textboxes and I can add dateJoined datepicker also??

I'm just not able to add a custom TabControl to my project. I have found a custom tabControl here: [URL]. The CustomTab consists out of 4 .vb files. Normally I would add a component (.dll or exe) to my project. I tried adding the 4 .vb files but unfortunately no CustomTabControl.

I am trying to create a custom comboboxitem, yet I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I have done it for a listviewitem
Public Class CustomListViewItem
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem
End Class
but can not seem to get anything similar for the comboboxitem
Public Class ProjectComboBox
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox?
End Class
I have found out that it is similar to a listbox item, but can not seem to inherit anything.

I have a form that is populated with specific data for each user. The user chooses this data themselves.I plan on saving this data in the application settings or via xml serialization.What I want to do, is allow users to generate a unique code for that data so that they can supply this code to others and all they will have to do is copy and paste it into their client and that data will populate for them.I could just allow users to trade XML files, but I want it to be easier than that.The form is basically setup this way;
Picture - Data 1, Data 2, Data 3, Data 4
Picture - Data 1, Data 2, Data 3, Data 4
The pictures correlate to pictures that are numbered anywhere from 0-600. The data can be any integer value from 0 - 200.

I'm running several different automated processes and when I get done with them, I show the results in a form with various controls.
In this form, I use Panels, Labels, TextBoxes, and TreeViews, and ListViews to display a wealth of information.
When the automation part is done, I want to be able to log this info and save that log file on the User's PC.
I thought it would be best to make a custom file extension and then hash it with MD5.
I'm pretty sure I can get all of that done. The problem is that I'm not sure how I would load that info back into the application.
Since the log files will appear on a seperate form, I can't just load the data back into the original controls.
Would it be best to create a blank template of controls and then load the data into those controls? Or is there a way to save content "as is", controls and all?

In THIS Thread:NickThissen Said:Quote:It will appear in the toolbox even if you put it in the current project, instead of a control library project.No, it does not have to be in a control library, nor does it have to be a UserControl, to appear in the Toolbox. Any class inheriting (either directly or indirectly) from Control or Component will appear in the Toolbox. Since RadioButton inherits from Control, and your control inherits from RadioButton, your control inherits from Control too, so it will appear in the Toolbox. I have successfully created a pretty cool custom control. I Built the project and have added the a reference to the .dll form a new Windows forms project. It works great, as long as I do something like THIS:
Dim ThisControl As New MyCustomControl
ThisControl.Top = 40
ThisCOntrol.Left = 40

I have the above control I am using, whose base class is the ListBox.Unlike the ListBox, it doesn't highlight a new item when it is inserted.I already had to add the ability to InsertAt() a new item since the person who made it originally hadn't implemented that part.But, I am having trouble figuring out how to make that part work.The above link is directly to the original Control.Here is the code for the Insert method I added:
Public Sub Insert(ByVal index As Integer, ByVal value As MCListBoxItem)
Try
List.Insert(index, value)

I have several custom controls inside my project, just added a new class and then inherit the original control. For example i have a Custom DataGridView Control (CustDGV), that defines several properties in the constructor of the control.Now i have one problem and one issue, the problem, if i change the CustDGV i don't know why, the forms that are using the control doesn't update the changes... The only way it's removing and adding it again.. not very useful when i have several event's already defined for the dgv.How do i force the form to update the control?The issue it's that some of the properties doesn't get applied, for example i set the column header height and the disable resizing in the constructor, but if i run the code this two properties doesn't get applied, i need to define them in the form where i use the control to get the results that i expect..The order of the properties in the constructor? The properties in the properties window override the constructor ones?

I got a third party control from a website after googling.Inorder to use that control, I simply right-clicked the Toolbox and selected "Choose Item". Then Browse to that dll file location and selected that file.Now it is added to the toolbox. But do I have to register the dll now ? Or, will it work when I distribute my app ?
