Does anyone know how i would go about adding a control (a button) to the windows title bar area?Sort of like firefox does.
I'm doing this so i can remove the Toolstrip Menubar at the top of my application to give it my "working area".
The main form in my application is a small form without a titlebar. I accomplished this by setting these properties:
- ControlBox = False
- MinimizeBox = False
- MaximizeBox = False
- Text = "" (empty)
As long as the Text (title text) remains empty, the form has no title bar. Note that it still has a border so it can be resized (FormBorderStyle = Sizable, as usual, not None!)Now, because I have to keep the Text property empty, the taskbar button never shows any text... But I want to show text in the taskbar button!
As far as I know, the only way to set the text on the taskbar button is using the forms Text property, but I cannot set that because the form will have a titlebar if I do...

Problem:I am not getting the cursor (4 arrowheads) for moving the form.I am using the Panel1_MouseHover to display the cursor. Right now if I choose any other cursor then it is working but the same cursor also displays when I hover the mouse over any other control. I want the cursor to show only in the areas of the Panel where there are no controls.How do I show Tooltips for the images? The play,stop,next, previous,playlist,Hideme(with the smiley),volume are all images and not buttons?

View 2 RepliesI have created a form containing a text box and a button. i would like to know if it is possible to embed this form in the title bar of the current active window that is opened eg: ie,notepad,word this is so that i can enter a word in the text box and use text to speech to say it or highlight a word in the active window and it will be placed in the text box of my form. i can position the form in the top right location but then the form position is stagnant.
View 3 RepliesI cannot begin to explain how often I have tried to remove the Maximize button from the top of my form window.. I know that it can be disabled via properties, also that it can be removed if I disable both the maximize and minimize buttons, BUT I need the minimize button, just not the maximize button
View 10 RepliesFor my own personal use, I'd like to code an app that disables the icon on the upper left of the window titlebars and in the taskbar of ms windows. This is how it should look when it's done: [URL] (this little autohotkey script is broken in win 7). Is this is feasable in vb? If yes, how do I communicate with the win os? Maybe get a list of active windows and redraw them and the taskbar after replacing their icon by a blank one in memory?

View 4 RepliesI have a form that I want to keep the border on, but no titlebar.An example is a form with FormBorderStyle set to FixedSingle, then set the Form's Text to nothing. This is what I'm after, however, I want to maintain the "Blue" styling of Windows XP. When doing this, it currently makes the form gray like it stops using visual styles.is there any way to get the blue "Single" border around my form without the Titlebar?

View 7 RepliesHow can I update and get values in a Windows Forms application while moving one form to other form (like cookies)?
I need to update the values to some variable and again I am going to refer stored values and need to do some calculations.
I have used cookies in ASP.NET but I am not able to find out the same concept in .NET Windows Forms (C#).
How can these issues be resolves?
simple problem Basically in form1 i have a line of SQL code in a rich text box called rtb_select
what i would like..This code to run under a connection string called strSQLSelectQuery in form2
I have been told someting like strSQLselectQuery = rtb_select.text would work however because rtb_select is in a different form in the same project it does not recognise rtb_Select
I am finally making the move to vb.net after having supported VB6 apps all this time. I have been learning vb.net 2010 but am finding it difficult to find relevant information on the COM aspect. In VB6 COM was the dominating feature of the language, however, I can't seem to find relevant information on what has happened to COM in vb.net, does it still exist in vb.net, does it work in the same way or are apps designed in a different way in .net to do away with COM dll's?

View 2 RepliesTaking the following code into the account: [code] This makes my entire form client area act like a cpation bar and i can darg it using any any part of it! Becuase i had a borderless form that is why i used this code (which is definitely not mine - no offense) . This works perfect in windows 7 but in lower OS versions it acts weired like even if user makes little dragging on the form occasionally this triggers and takes the form out of the bound of screen! I was wondering can i alter the above code somewhat like instead of intercepting the form area as caption bar it detects a panel (docked at the top giving illusion of a caption bar) and make that my form move. I know you brothers will make me say that using the mouse down mouse move and mouse up events of panel i can attain this, definitely i can but thought of some more professional approach. url...
View 4 Replies(Visual Basic .NET 2003) I am trying to move a picturebox up and then down on my form. The Picturebox moves up but does not move down. The motion is more of a bouncing motion (to the left) until it disappears off the screen. I have one button and one timer. I know this is probably so simple, but I cannot resolve the problem

The purpose of this (maybe there is a better method I don't know) is to so the user can say what order they want pieces of code to be compiled in. Sort of like a flow-chart. I want it somewhat animated, so, example being 3D circles the user drags and drops in the order they want things.
1. I need 4 circles inside of a form.
2. I need it so when the user selects the circle, they can drag and drop it in an order.
3. User clicks OK to finish their chosen order.
I haven't designed anything before that needed to check the borders of the form etc.

View 2 RepliesI'm developing a VB.net windows form app in Visual Studio 2010. I want to be able to drag the form to another location or minimize it while the app is running. Is that possible? Here's and example. I have a form with 1 button. Here's the code associated with the button:
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim time0 As Integer
Dim time1 As Integer
For time0 = 0 To 1000000000
time1 = time0
Next

I can move the form or minimize it until I push the button. Then it freezes until the code stops running.
I am using the software called Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition. I've created this calculator on my own, and the past hour I've been messing with the design. Right now I am wondering how I can move the form around, with the FormBorderStyle set to none (no borders (means no exit button, minimize etc. I made those myself )
What I'm looking for is that I should be able to press anywhere on a place that isn't used (black place) and drag it around. I forgot to mention another issue that I have. The textbox on the calculator accepts any signs and letters, how can I make it so it just accepts numbers?

Lets say I have 10 text boxes (named, txtbox1 - txtbox10), and I have a timer and a button. Each time I click the button, it records a time. Instead of having to manually create a code to input times for each textbox separately, is there a way I could use an integer and a loop type code? [code] I know this is pretty much an easy question for an experienced coder, and I know that the code above doesn't work.

The title of our forms is Company Name - Application Name - Form Name This makes selecting the form you want on the TaskBar a bit difficult since the Form Name is not shown. We would like the TaskBar caption to be Form Name - Application Name - Company Name or simple Form Name From my searches, this CANNOT be done except by using an invisible form that displays on the TaskBar which calls the visible form that does not display on the TaskBar.
