View 1 RepliesI am working on a project that I want to allow the user to move and resize controls in a panel container at runtime, much like the developer can do in the IDE.Is there a mode (not sure its the right term) I can implement on a selected control that will show the grab handles and allow moving and such?

I have the mission to make a small game for a school project. Pictures boxes, moved by a timer for walking enemies.If there are around 5 or 6 moving picture boxes at the form, my application get troubles and lags.After I kill some enemies (remove them from the Controls Collection of the Form/Panel) It come back smooth.I think the loop of the enemy movement is too complicated but I don't know how to make that simpler.

I have a program where if a label box touches a picture box then the game ends. What I want to be able to do is have it so that various pictureboxes appear all along the bottom of the forum then move to the top. I know how to get the pictureboxes moving and I am somewhat familiar to random scripts the only thing I am not sure how to do is create the picture boxes just along the bottom of the forum.

I'm designing a new application, but have two big problems.I wanna put an image in my form, and have the possibility to drag them.For example, I put an image with 100*100 but my imageviewe ronly have 50*50 So, I wanna drag the image around the imageviewer.
How can I do this?The other problem is:In the image I wanna design some squares, with the possibility to drag them to.Drag the squares it's working fine.But, the problem is, when drag the image, I wanna the squares "follow" the imagem and keep thei position in the image.If it was confuse, I try upload an explanation image.
I need to get pictures of objects that move on conveyor band while they are passing by the hires camera. I know that algorithm sould check alpha channels to understand when object (medicine box) is roughly at the middle of frame and then get picture. but the problem is while object moves this algorithm must only get one photo and before one object leaves the scene, other object can appear at the other side of frame. so that makes everything complex. more basically I should get every medicine box's picture while they are on the move.
View 1 RepliesI am attempting to move all controls on a form down or up by the height of a menubar depending on whether it is visible or not. I have code which I think ought to work well for this, however it seems that Me.Controls is empty at runtime, so my for each loop is never entered. Could someone please offer a suggestion as to how I can move the controls?
Private Sub uxMenuStrip_VisibleChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles uxMenuStrip.VisibleChanged
For Each control As Control In Me.Controls
If control.Name <> "uxMenuStrip" Then

View 2 RepliesI'm creating an application in visual basic, basically a part of it is where I hope to achieve the function whereby users can move pictureboxs(images) when visual basic is running.
Basically, i've got several picture boxes that obviously cannot be moved around the form at the minute.
For example, i want to be able the user to be able to move picturebox1 around the form when they click on it and move it where they want to as opposed to what it does now - doesnt move.
i'm attempting to develop a calendar using datagridview where column headers are dates and row headers are list of employees.
i would like to add a button/custom control on the datagridview to represent a task over time where I can move or resize at runtime.
At design time in the IDE, you can ctrl-click or drag a box around multiple controls on a form and move them all at once. How do you do that at runtime. I need to be able to create image maps based on textual copies of medical claim forms that are generated from different systems and the ability to create dynamic label controls and move a single or multiple controls and resize is required. How does MS do this in the IDE?
View 7 RepliesIn re-engineering a windows forms application, I find that a lot of code-behind in the various form classes is duplicative and I'm trying to centralize as many procedures as possible into a base class which can be inherited and used by the subclassed forms.
This process seems to be going well and is making the code in my subclasses much simpler and hopefully easier to maintain, but I'm not sure where to draw the line between leaving code in the subclasses and engineering for generic resusability and moving it to the base class.
Specifically, in some subclasses I have code which manipulates variables and objects specific to the subclass, and although I could move the code-behind into the base class, the base class code references specific objects which are needed to compile. For example, each subclass manipulates a databound datagridview and form detail controls which allows the user to select between multi-record and detailed single-record views of a datatable.
In Visual Basic 2008 do I need to declare dummy data objects in the base class so that the base class will compile? Or is there a way to indicate that the data objects will be provided by the subclass?
I'm trying to develop a program that turns matrices into their reduced Echlon forms. The user specifies the number of Columns & Rows for the matrix, which is generated by the following Sub Routine
Private Sub ButCreate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles ButCreate.Click
'Columns and Rows are specified by the user
rows = TxtRows.Text
columns = TxtColumns.Text
'clears all of the controls(text boxes) from the TableLayoutContainer
[Code] .....
How to do is access/manipulate those newly created textBoxes. After the user enters values to those boxes, I want to assign each of their columns to an array.

View 2 RepliesI created a .net assembly, which works perfectly if I create before runtime. But i'd like to know if it's possible to reference at runtime. The reason is because i'm creating an application which will be used in several servers, and it will be reference that same .net assembly, but the .dll file will be in different location per server. I know that when I reference before runtime, the .net assembly it will be pointing to is from the original (or at least that's what I think).

It appears that that only the top property is passed to the subroutine, that is, rowcount and the others appear to have a value of zero. Using ByRef makes no difference.
I have created a program that allows the user to click on screen and add many ovalshape objects. But I have got stuck as now I need to create a rightclick event for any of the runtime generated ovalshapes on screen and dont know how to refer the right click event to all the many objects?
My code for creating the oval's are as follows:-
Dim
Drg As New ShapeContainer
Dim Shape As New OvalShape
Drg.Parent =
Me
Shape.Parent = Drg
Shape.Size =
New System.Drawing.Size(10, 10)
Shape.FillColor = StampColor
Shape.FillStyle = FillStyle.Solid
But how do I write a click event now for any of these runtime created objects???
I am writing a game editor, and have a lot of different "tool" objects. They all inherit from BTool and have the same constructor. I would like to dynamically populate a toolbox at runtime with buttons that correspond to these tools, and when clicked have them create an instance of that tool and set it as the current tool. Is this possible, and if so will it be better/easier than creating those buttons by hand?
View 3 RepliesI'm attempting to make a very simple game where the player clicks a button, a label is spawned, travels across the screen, and the player tries to "shoot" the label by clicking on it. So far, I can make the labels spawn and move, but whenever I spawn a new label, the previous one stops moving. Also, I can't figure out how to remove an object from the form by clicking on it. Here is my current code:

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?
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 3 RepliesLets 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.
