VS 2008 Let User Select A Form Theme?
Oct 27, 2011
Ok, so i am trying o make it so that a user can change themes, i have moved all major code to a module so it can be accessed but then i have a problem.
I have 6 forms, all forms are the same just different themes, The problem is that in the module it calls form1, like for example form1.webbrowser.blah.blah, if i user used form3 for there theme then this dones not work as in the module it calls form1.
Basically i need to add something else there like for example:
dim Cform as string
Cform = form1
Cform.webbrowser.blah.blah
But form1 can not be a string

I have a theme called 'Zune' on my computer, and like the way it looks.Is there a way too, make the program use the 'Zune' theme..even if the computer itself is using the default xxxx theme?I can simulate it by doing the graphics, but to make the program border less, then to do the move code when they click on the image box...etc... makes it for tedious work.
If I could somehow make the program use the theme..

I am pretty new at VB but am trying to design an application that will allow a user to select from files on his or her PC, hit a '>>' button, and those files will appear in a list on the right side of the button (so I can then have the application upload those files via ftp). I am planning to use a TreeView control to act as a file explorer in the application. I have been unable to find any resources on the internet to populate the tree view with the user's local file structure, and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

My next question is how do i use a .msstyle file for the form theme/style? Preferably not using SkinSoft Visual Styler.net because this doesnt support some things like fixed single border. It also isnt free.

Theres just one major problem i have. Whatever operating system you are using for your current computer (windows 7 in my case) the buttons and tabs and everything else (apart from the windows border... or whatever you all it which i made myself) everything has the modern buttons on it.Hes an in game screen shot :As you can see it looks totally horrible... even the start menu has the windows 7 blue glow effect...I recently found another application (universe Sandbox) and it has the classic buttons even though i am using windows 7.how can i actually make my buttons classic? (without making picture boxes of each button)

IT STILL GIVES A MSGBOX IF I SELECT THE CHECKBOX BOX OR NOT ....My code below will redirect to Google in both conditions: If the user selects the checkbox, then it will redirect to www.google.com, but if a user forgets to check the checkbox then it shows the msg box with an ok button. When I click on ok it should redirect to www.google.com
I want When a user forgets to check any of the checkboxes to show a msgbox with an ok button and stay on the same page. Otherwise if user selects any of the checkboxes then redirect to google

This may take some explaining but the concept is pretty simple. A user will select a file which contains data that they wish to extract from, so keeping it simple they pick a file like so:
[Code]....
So, I need to show the user the file, allow them to select a line to match and/or extract from. So they select the first line ready for a match, they then select a word/s to mark as a constant for matching, so in this case it would be: MyGroup A simple version for text match would be like "MyGroup *" Now, I need to convert this to regex dynamically (I assume its the best method), its not a one off, the data that is selected is all open and up to user selection. There could be multiple selections and multiple extractions on the same line!

On each of my form I have put an 'Exit' button. When user clicks it, another form is displayed (I don't want to use 'MessageBox') asking user whether he really wants to quit. If user clicks yes the form closes. If user clicks no, form is redisplayed.
However, out of 4 forms only one form refuses to redisplay. The code is exactly same on all forms. I have included 2 Express 2008 projects showing one form each in the zip file apps-ssk.zip

How would I be able, with the click of a button, allow the user to draw on the form? Maybe as if, taking a screen shot of the whole form, and then drawing on top of it? Dose not have to be a lot of colors, just a simple way to draw a line.

I have an MDI application. Upon starting it, the MDI form is instantiated, then it kicks off a Username/Password log-in form and makes itself invisible(user never sees the MDI form). If the user logs in, the log-in form becomes invisible and the MDI form becomes visible. This works fine, except for one user.When the log-in form comes up, the MDI form is also visible. If he clicks on something, it crashes(certain variables aren't set at that point). If he logs in, however, the log-in goes invisble and everything works fine. This guy is a network admin/IS type and has several versions/hotfixes of the .Net Framework installed. Could that be the problem? Does anyone know what could be causing this problem for this one user and no one else?

I have a program that allows a user to select a program to run at a certain time for a specific amount of time all choosen by the user. Everything works with the exception of if my program has launched the other program, my program become non-responsive. Meaning I am not able to look at that window again. Not that one really needs too, because when time is up my program closes the program it opened, then closes itself. I just want to be able to see my program when the other program is running. how to do this and perhaps drop me some links, that would be wonderful. This is what I have coded, but like I stated there are no code errors.

I have a Mdi form and I need to put a control on the form which the user can resize. Now I need a container can be dragged by user to increase it's size. The split container will not work in my case as I have childforms and stuff. I want a container whose size can be increased by dragging it on one side.

I am jsut adding bits on to a Windows Service we are making here at our company, its an Asset Management tools with a few built in extras. It runs as a service on everyones machines but we can also do things like request a reboot etc through it.At the moment when We send a Reboot/shutdown etc command to it the Service on the machines calls 'C:WindowsSystem32Shutdown.exe' with the appropiate switches. This displays the windows shutdown warning to the users but nothing they can do about it.
What I was wondering if I create a seperate exe (or even better built into the service but I am not sure if this is possible) instead of the Service Calling 'shutdown.exe' it calls this form up to the user which states that we have requested a reboot etc but there is a 'Cancel' option. The Cancel can just end the form/program and nothing more, if the timeout that we specify is reached then that form/program then calls shutdown exe for an instant shutdown.
I know that the Service runs in a different user Space and we have no telling of who is logged on to that machine so I will need a way to just launch the form to any logged on users. Doesn't matter to much if there is no one logged onto the machine but if it does display this form while noone is logged on that is not a big deal.

I have a form which has a user control in it added dynamically. How can I change the values in that dynamically generated user control? All my functions are in a module and I will just call them in main form. So in module how can I find that user control and change its values? I tried writing a function in user control form. Like it has 10 txt box and I tried to pass a structure as argument in that user control form but I am unable to do so. when I tried to declare the structure outside function parameter in user control form it works well but not as function parameter..

I'm coming over from VB6 in which you could use 'user controls' to create reusuable custom controls. They were simple and contained and you can easily create several instances of a user control within the same or other apps. In vb2008 there are user controls but I can not figure out how to add them to forms or or other apps. Can someone please give me the the basic steps to add a custom user control to a form or project.
