Let's say I create an image, and said image will be the background of a form. But I want the form to be in the shape of the image, how would I go about doing that? This means I remove the title bar and drag it around manually, yes, but how do I actually do that?

View 4 RepliesI recently downloaded VB 2010 Express so i am quite new to the language, but i have worked with dark basic, which seems to b very similar.Anyway, my problem is that i cannot seem to correctly set out my array of a custom type/class. i am trying to create two arrays, one of available entities and another of selected entities of which the user selects the entities to be dealt with in irrelevant ways. i have creates a button (called test) which adds some entities to the available list and all the entities come back the same value but they shouldnt be as you'll c in the code. i have run the step into command a found that "available.item(#).Name = " will change all of the entity's names.As of current i am working with lists as the array kept asking for a 'new' statement but i couldnt figure out where to put it.[code]

View 3 RepliesI have two forms, say Form1, Form2
Form1 has one textbox and one button, Btn1 when clicked, it opens Form2 as dialog.
Form2 has one textbox and one button too.
First I click on Btn1 to open Form2 as dialog. And when I click on Btn2 on Form2, I want the text in the Textbox2 to be copied to TextBox1. I know it could be done by Public Property Get, Set but I am stuck.

View 35 RepliesI used a custom form in visual studio. I had set the parent form for mdicontainer as true. When I try to load the childform and the code is form2.show then my design for a custom form image is working but when I add the code:
form2.show form2.mdiparent = mdiparent it won't.
I had set the transparency as = red
backgroundcolor = red
formstyle = none
backgroundimagestyle = none
Everything works fine using a .gif image custom form image but when I put a code "mdiparent" it won't. It is important to put "form2.mdiparent=mdiparent" so that when I clicked the background image which is the "form1" or the parent form the form2 will not go to the back page of form1. It is possible to disable the click event of form1 so that when I clicked it the form2 will not go to its back.
im creating my own custom form design for some of my programs...i would like to get the basic form down and then save it as a template...before i can do that i need some help designing and creating the form. Im going for a windows office 2007 sorta look with a glowing orb at the top right. I need a few coding elements to implement first.
[Code]...
yes these are all things capable with the traditional windows form but i want something more my style. 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 never did custom events and would like to make a sub procedure execute via a custom event from another form that does not have the custom event defined.

This relates to WPF but is broad enough that a winform answer will do. I have made a few custom controls in the past by inheriting from whatever particular control I wish to inherent from.
I have noticed that I can add a form to a class/user control library from the add new dialog and have it run. When this application is compiled I get a DLL.
So my question is can I use a Form as a custom control. The reason I ask is I am creating a more advanced MsgBox for a new application I require and a form as its container makes the most sense.

I added a reference...added an import statement....created a reference in my code and viola! All is good. I recently switched to VS 2010 and tried to re-use my trusty dll file in my new vb.net 2010 projects and all is good until I try to build and/or run the project. I get the following error whenever I try to do either...

I even tried placing the dll in both the debug and release folders with no luck or change in the error shown.

I got this whole thing pretty well down (it's actually quite easy), but I've seen custom controls created where you can click that little arrow on the top-right corner and add things or change things about it.
How exactly is this done? I'd Google it (which is why you don't see me post here too often) but I really don't know how to describe it.

I'm working on a project where I need to information on all the monitors connected to a computer and then write a configuration file based on that. I can already get the screen information by creating a new instance of screen and reading the information such as index, bounds and everything else.I'm trying to create a virtual screen object to hold the information from the screen so I can work with it, or add other properties to it.[code]This all works perfectly how I want it to. Except I would like to do one more thing. How can I make it so that instead of getting Virtual_Screen.Top, I could get Virtual_Screen.Bounds.Top? That way I could create other properties such as Virtual_Screen.Border.Top..I have no idea how to code, or what that would be called. It's hard to search for something you don't know the name of.
View 5 RepliesI'm tired of looking at the boring default dark gray back of an MdiParent. I tried using Juggalo's Gradient Form and realized that the MdiParent was not being painted, at all. A temporary work around was to create an Image and set it as the background. This is fine and dandy but when I bring the thing to full screen and drag around my MdiChildren forms, the application gets laggy. I have already tried setting the Form to Double Buffered and it doesn't work at all, no noticeable change.I did try editing the Form's Paint() event, but to no avail.Here's the code I'm using to create the image (practically from Juggalo's Gradient Form):

Creates the image nice and fast. I want this to happen in the Form's Paint Event though, so I don't have to rely on an Image that causes my program to lag about.
