VS 2010 Best Containers For Some Toolstrips And A Picturebox
Apr 14, 2012
Been doing web development for the past 2 years - so I'm a little rusty (and I just switched to VS 2010 from 2008 so maybe something new is available)... I have 4 toolstrips floated to the top of a form. And I have a picturebox below - filling the whole form. Unfortunately the picturebox is "behind" the toolstrips. I want to split the form so that the top of the form holds the 4 toolstrips and the picturebox appears below them.
What would be the proper container to put this mess into so that autosizing is the easiest? The toolstrips will most likely be "turned off and on" during the running of the app.
I have a parent MDI form and several MDI children. All have menustrips and toolstrips. The merging of the menustrips was no problem at all but I'm trying to do the same thing for the toolstrips, but now it's a no go. The toolstrips are staying separated. Is it possible to merge toolstrips?
I have an application with three toolstrips in it, two in one line and the third one on the second line. One with the common items (copy, cut etc) and two more for graphics manipulation and internet. The problem is that no matter how I "localize" their position, sooner or later they became desorganized and lose their intended location. I have localize them with the left and top property as well as using New Point(x,y). I have also experimented with different choices for the Anchor property as well as setting the values for the location property in the designer. I even put the localization code in a menu item to see if I can locate them properly after the Form Load sub is finished. Locking them in place doesn't work either. Nothing works!
Basically I need the Common toolstrip to be the first one with Left = 3 and Top = 0. Graphics1 right after the Common toolstrip and with Top = 0 and Internet1 right bellow the Common toolstrip with Left = 0 and the Top right bellow the Common toolstrip (Top = 25). It seems as if the Common toolstrip gets to the proper position and right away jumps behind the Graphics1 on the first line. The Internet1 is Ok for now (it has messed up before)?
I have a MDI container form with menustrip, toolstrip and statusstrip on it. The backcolor of these items is black. The toolstrip and statusstrip show ugly white borders around them which I want to get rid of but there seems to be no such property like bordercolor or anything where I could change them.
Title says it all. I want the ToolStrips to remain on one row, and for the user to be able to rearrange on that row but not create additional rows. I tried using SetBounds on the LocationChanged event, if the user attempted to change the Y position it just sprung right back. However, this created some visual bugs, such as the mouse always jumping back to the location and the ToolStrips jumping around randomly (while dragging one, the other would hop around randomly on the bar...)
I also tried setting the MaximumSize of the toolstripcontainer panel, but it allowed the creation of a new row anyway (in which the toolstrips were hidden.) EDIT: Its been a few months, still no answers...is this even possible?
I Have a database program which imports data saves it to a database and then on a separate form analyze the data i have a number of queries docked but i had to click dock to fill in form and ive tried for hours by but cant retrieve what originally was on the form otherwise queries are useless.
I migrate between C++ and VB.NET in my coding ventures... which leads to the occasional confusion about when something is by value or by reference in VB.NET.Let's say for example that I have an array of MyObject which is populated with a bunch of objects.
dim MyArr(5000) of MyObject. let's say that the information from this array travels throughout various data structures:
dim MyList as new List(of MyObject) for i as integer = 0 to 5000 step 1000 Mylist.add(MyArr(i)) next
Under the above scenario, I believe everything is by reference. If I extract an entry from "MyTable" and modify its MyObject Members, I think that the original in MyArr will be modified.However, I have run into situations where I thought something was by reference, and it was by value. Are items always added to containers by reference, or are they sometimes added by value?
How do I go about looping through all the controls within a container, and all the controls in the container of a containing control, and so on.
[code]...
The following only retrieves -Panel and none of the other controlsFor Each cntrl As Control In Me.Controls Next How can I retrieve them all in a For Each loop without an If/Then for every level in the stack?

This is so far the best method I found of doing this.
I am working on a small desktop form in VB 2010 and am trying to place a pictureBox with an image in it, next to another pictureBox already located on the form when the user clicks a button.
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click Dim tool As String
[Code]....
But for some reason the newPictureBox with image from "ptext" does not show up on the form. When I specify the new Point to be something like, (50,50) instead of getting the first pictureBox coordinates, the new pictureBox shows up in the right place.
Am I using System.Drawing.Point wrong? Or is there some other error that I'm making?
The First Question is not that important but you know that when you click on 'Favorites' in IE 8 a form thing comes up? Well I've been trying to do that for a long time but I can't figure out how. 2: In IE8 when you expand the window and collapse the window, the toolbars expand and collapse as well. How do I make my tool bars in my Web Browser do that. 3: I actually have a third question and that's, How do you make a horizantal scroll bar on your web browser control. (just like in Internet Explorer.)
i'm working on a program and i'm working with panels, and i'm very frustrated because I want to bring a panel to the front of the form but because of its parent it is locked into another panel.... in the properties for the panels there is no Parent container option though the only way i know how to modify parents is during runtime like this Panel1.parent = Me
I am trying to extend the functionality of the ToolStripPanel control (which is a panel hosting ToolStrips that can be moved during design-time, as I'm sure you know).One thing I wanted to add was a 'ToolStrips' property, which would be a collection of ToolStrips the user can edit via the collection editor in the designer. So instead of manually placing ToolStrips on the ToolStripPanel via the toolbox, the user can just use the property to add/remove (or even edit) them. This is of course similar to how you add/remove/edit TabPages in a TabControl.So, I came up with this code, which I have used successfully in the past for other controls:
Public Class cToolStripPanel Inherits ToolStripPanel Private _ToolStrips As New ToolStripCollection(Me)[CODE]....
The cToolStripPanel control inherits the ToolStripPanel control and adds the ToolStrips property, which is of type ToolStripCollection. That class, in turn, inherits the Collection(Of ToolStrip). In the InsertItem method, I add the 'item' ToolStrip to the cToolStripPanel. Of course I also need to override the RemoveItem / ClearItems methods but that's for another time.I am 100% sure that this code should works, at least for other controls. If you replace ToolStrip with Button (for example), I can add buttons via the property during design-time just fine, exactly the way I want it.But it seems that ToolStrips are special. When I try to Add a toolstrip (via the collection editor Add button), a null reference exception occurs. I've been trying to debug this all day and I've finally come up with a possible candidate for the problem... (I've actually used design-time debugging for the first time ever, which was pretty cool, and which showed me that the InsertItem method is not run!)
I think the problem is that the collection editor cannot create a new instance of the ToolStrip class. I can remember when trying to inherit from the ToolStrip, I was forced to add a constructor, because the ToolStrip "has more than one constructor that can be called with no arguments".Perhaps this is causing my problem? Do I (and if yes, how?) have to somehow control the creation of a new instance of the ToolStrip? Or am I completely off track and that is not what is causing the problem? I'm sure that it's a problem with the ToolStrip class, since I can use the exact same method with other controls just fine. It's only when I change the type to ToolStrip that it starts getting angry at me....
How can I place a BG image on the tabs only (title area of tab)? I am also finding it dificult to change the tab text font, since it is changing the tab body font not the tab titles........??
I'm working on a winform which contains several controls like textboxes, radio buttons, datagridviews... All of these controls have been added to a main group box called gbDataEntry. My problem is when the user is seeing the form, I set gbDataEntry.Enabled = False but I want to enable some controls like DataGridviews so the user can scroll them. After disabling gbDataGridview I set DataGridView1.Enabled = True but it seems that the datagridview does not respond to this line. Why?
I know how to do it individually but not sure if it's possible to merge into one.
I have 6 containers that contain either Checkbox or RadioButtons.
Struggling sending the type of control and also wondered do i really need to call clear 6 times? Can't VB search each container for a control that can be checked?
vb #Region "Form Events" Private Sub ClearPizzaCreation(Of t As Control)(ByVal root As Control) For Each ctrl As Control In root.Controls
I have a VERY FAST comp/connection. I am looking for better code that runs smoothly. I'd also like if it fails to load something like error.jpg or something, not just staying blank. I don't know where to throw this in the code. I have only loaded 1 PictureBox on the interface, but in the end, I want to load 6-10 on one form at one time.
I'm making a game for a school class on Visual Basic 2010. (Space Invaders for the ones that are curious) Everything was going smoothly until I ran into a little problem.
I'm making a game for a school class on Visual Basic 2010. (Space Invaders for the ones that are curious)Everything was going smoothly until I ran nto a little problem.I shoot the missile intended to kill monsters. I use ictureBox1.Width.IntersectWith(PictureBox2.Location) or something like that to know when they intersect.
Ok i have a bigger image than the picturebox and when i resize the picturebox half of it gets missed off. How can i get it so the image fits the picturebox exactly??
I just started using Visual Basic and I'm trying to make a mapping application.
Background: I'm basically trying to make something similar, but on a very small scale, to Google Maps. A user loads an image in to an picture box which is put inside a panel(so i can scroll the image). When the user has uploaded an image(a map) i want to allow him to add Labels on where he clicks. I've already done this part except the i get the wrong coordinates when i scroll through the rest of the image. If i don't scroll, the labels get placed spot-on.
I use e.X and e.Y on an event of a mousedown on the picture box. I get the correct coordinates in relation to the picture box. But when i use these coordinates to create the labels after i have scrolled, it places them in the wrong spots. I dont know how to compensate for the scrolling.
I know that this question has already been asked million of times, but until now I haven't found a WORKING way to make this to work.I've a Media Player control, and in front of it (for a logo thing), I have a PictureBox, that I want to make transparent. I've tried million of things, but couldn't get it to work.
I am just wondering how i can create a picturebox array like i could when i copied and pasted another picturebox in VB6 and it asked me if i want to add them to an array. Doing so made them code like this:
I am building an image processing program. As part of this, I have a picturebox, set to AutoSize.
When I load an image larger than the size of the picturebox's container the box automatically expands and shows scroll bars. This is what I want. I can scroll the picturebox using the mouse to click on these, but I would like to be able to scroll the image using the arrow keys. This poses a couple of problems:
1) finding what properties to change or events to raise when a key is pressed. It is a property of the picturbox, or a property of the container?
2) dealing with repeated scrolling while the arrow keys are held. I know I can use keydown to detect that an arrow key has been pressed, but how do I continue to scroll as long as the key is held down?
I've problem with clearing the drawing in PictureBox. The parts of a drawing are created with PictureBox1_ Paint Event like this: Name is one of the Subs (just part of a drawing). I've created a second event Timer1_Tick in which I want to clear the drawing created before but I can't reach it just with g.Clear(Color.White).
My two forms are: form 1: 2 picture boxes (#2 is hidden) form2: 1 button My code for this button is: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Form1.PictureBox2.Visible = True End Sub In my program I want to do the same thing, but I'm using MDI forms - for some reason it doesn't work like above. I tried the same as above as appropriate for the new project but it doesn't show the 2nd picture box.
