I have a winforms app using a trackbar. The BackColor property is available for change, but doing so makes the color of each "tick" almost invisible. I don't see an explicit property to modify the color of the "tick". Is there something I am missing or a way to change the color of the tick?

View 1 RepliesI've finished a number of project and feedback has been about the working functionality of them but the general look of .net controls "is aged" in their eyes.For example if I looked a picasa from google. The left meu is a treeview.The main window is a listview and they are seperated by a split container. The buttons look soft and rounded.
View 13 RepliesI have a form with a listview on it. Listviews are very versatile beasts with all kinds of odd options to them, so I'm not sure if this is working the only way that it can, or not. The issue is that when I select one of the items in the listview, only one column (of two) is highlighted. I'd prefer a selection appearance similar to using a DataGridView where the whole row is highlighted. Of course, one option would be just to switch to a DGV, but that would require a bit more code to get the column widths right. So my question is whether there is some setting to get what looks like full row selection appearance in a multiselect ListView?
View 3 RepliesI'm using a vertical trackbar. I got it all set: minimum and maximum values, tickfrequency etc... and so on... everything works great. The only problem is that I would like to have the minimum value of the trackbar on the top. In horizontal trackabar you can choose the RightToLeft property to put the minimum value to the left or to the right, but how do I make it to put the minimum value on the top if I have it in vertical orientation? There has to be a way to somehow "flip" it... but how?
Here is a link to video on youtube, which show my problem. I want it to be the other way round - from top to bottom: [URL]
When sliding the track (horizontal trackbar) it should change the glabel.shadowoffset.X, the other trackbar (vertical) should change the shadowoffset.Y
I tried change the code as followed:
GLabel1.ShadowOffset = (New Point(GLabel1.ShadowOffset.X, GLabel1.ShadowOffset.Y)) = RadTrackBar1.Value
But then I get the following error:
Error1Overload resolution failed because no accessible '=' can be called with these arguments:
'Public Shared Operator =(left As System.Drawing.Point, right As System.Drawing.Point) As Boolean': Value of type 'Integer' cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Point'.
Don't know exactly what it means, but my guess is that the value of the radtrackbar cannot be used (at its current state) with the shadowoffset.X

View 1 RepliesIm having some trouble saving and restoring a TrackBars value to my settings.First of all, this trackbar is controlling a WMP components volume.. That works fine, no problems here, i can control the volume with no problems with this
Private Sub TrackBar1_Scroll(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TrackBar1.Scroll Volume.Text = TrackBar1.Value Form1.RadioPlayer.settings.volume = TrackBar1.Value
End Sub
What i want to be able to is for the application to save the value the Trackbar has been set to, when the application closes and the restore that value when it is launched again. And for this i use Application Settings.

Just started using Visual Studio 2008 and was hoping to convert my VBA UserForms to VB.NET with the intent of upgrading my antiquated UserForm controls to newer Windows form controls that match the operating system.The Windows forms I create in Visual Studio look great, but when I load them in PowerPoint or Excel, the form controls look just as ugly as they did before (e.g. plain, rectangular buttons).
View 1 RepliesOk, so I know I have to change the labeledit to true but that doesn't change the selected node to be able to edit, so how does that work?
Along with renaming I have it set to that a user can add a node. So once the node has ben added how do I let them rename it as it is being added and without being a prompt or inputbox? So lets say I cam clicked on a parent and they click add node, it adds it to parent but I have it so it is default "New" but I want them to edit it as it is added. I think it will be along the same lines as clicking on one and rename but I have to start some place.
I am a beginner who used to use VB5 seven years ago, but am now trying to get up to speed using Visual Basic .NET 2010 Express in XP.
A difference I have noted is that in VB5 my buttons appeared to be three dimensional (raised) due to shading, etc. With VB2010 my buttons are plain 2D. I have not been able to find a property to give them the 3D appearance.Is this a limitation of using VB Essentials? If not, what properties give buttons the appearance of 3D?
I'm trying to create a ComboBox control with a TreeView style. I have been giving a link to an article by MSDN forums which include a sample as a starting point. [url] I downloaded the sample and convert its C# code to VB. The sample is a windows forms application so I moved the controls of the sample to a new Windows control library. I also modify and added some of the code to try to make it the way I want. Now I'm facing a problem with this control and I need your help to understand why it not behaving the right way. I'm trying to learn and build a ComboBox with a TreeView style.
The control inherits from the windows ComboBox control and when I place it on a form for the first time it look exactly as a CompbBox control but once I run the application for the first time the control appearance become deferent and it's not drowning its self as the windows ComboBox do. When I try to expand its width by dragging one of its sides by the mouse it doesn't work properly. I struggled understand why its behaving this way and how I can correct this behavior but unfortunately I couldn't. [Code]
I'm disabling a button in vb.net and when I do, I cannot control the BackColor or ForeColor properties to change the appearance. I set new values for them but they don't get picked up. The disabled button looks almost exactly like my enabled buttons so you can't tell the difference. I'm using Flat Style buttons, but have tried changing this and it still doesn't seem to work. Is there some sort of trick to be able to do this?

View 3 RepliesI'd like to make a GroupBox have a black line as its boarders , just in the old VB6 , but it seems there isn't any such a property . Look , for example in the picture below : First there is GroupBox control but it can only have a line around it without color . Next , there is a Panel control , but the problem with that is that it can't have a caption set . At the far right side there is Panel control with a Label control placed over it . That's the best way I can think of in order to make something that at least will look like with what I have in mind . However , is there any other way I could do that ?
View 11 RepliesI have a main form which contains a few buttons...some of those buttons open up smaller forms...there is also a button for each of those smaller forms, which should let me bring the chosen form to the front and give it focus...basically like the tabs in your task bar let you switch between which program you are using...but I'm having trouble with this...I need to click the button 2 times before the form I want comes to the front...the first click removes focus from the currently activated form the second click then moves the form I want to the front.I need this to happen in one click..I[code] figured out the exact cause of the problem.it's due to the fact that the first click doesn't actually take effect since the child form has focus...so the first click actually just transfers focus to the main form...the second click does what it should.I knew it was going to be extremely obvious.so the question now becomes...how can I overcome this if that is possible at all...I know I've seen applications where I can still activate functions of the parent form in one click even if I have a child form open and focused.And it's basically what I need...it does what I want and lets me switch between child forms in one click...but it stuffs up the entire look of my parent form...the layout and colors get wacky...the transparency of certain things don't seem to work and my background image is gone..
