View 10 RepliesI'm trying to make an autoupdater, so I've made it search for updates in the beginning and that works fine. But now when the update form is supposed to open, it goes a while and then it says "File Download Complete". So that means the form must have been executed, but it does just not appear. But when I click ok on the dialog, the updater form appears, but with all controls white. Here's my updater.vb: [URL]
I'm using Kleinma's WebFileDownloader class.
I suspect that the problem might be that the updater's form doesn't get it's events handled or doesn't get redrawn.

I am using IIS 5.1 on server 2000. I have set the asp.net page for custom error in IIS which is directing to C:InetpubwwwrootCustom_ ErrorIIS_Error.aspx. Custom error page appears when user keyin wrong password for 3 times.When i access the error page directly (for testing) from my laptop using following URL then i can see the page text and the text box.
//192.168.0.10/Custom_Error/IIS_Error.aspx
But when user keyin wrong password for 3 times, system shows the custom error page with text only and doesn't show the asp.net controls.Also, is there any way to show the local path from where the user has been redirected to the custom error page? For an example; we have got 10 folders under website called TestWeb, so when the user is accessing folder number (3) called webtest3 and custom error page should show webtest3 on the page.Can i do it either on asp.net or on asp classic page?

I am Using VS.NET 2008 VB - I am trying to render graphics from an off screen form or an invisble panel as comparison to as the previous version of VB (5.0,6.0) can use an invisible picture boxes to blt from. The problem that I am having that does not make much sense is that when the form is actually off the screen the blt returns nothing. Is there a new GDI+ operation that can copy from an invisible panel or picturebox or offscreen visble form or is there another low level api call that can be used to return what should be drawn on the off screen form or an invisble device context... Its a shame to see certain fetures of VB degrade. Like transparency and zorder. I would probably been done with my app if it werent for the setbacks. Can anyone offer any assitance? I do have it working correctly to display the transparency correctly but I am looking for a way to eliminate the flicker that is generated by setting the order and visiblit of the controls to render proper transparency... An offscreen form with a panel with all the controls to endure the flicker while I copy the images that was captured during the rendering process after it is done changing the depth order and visiblity would make the most sense
View 3 RepliesInside a form, I would like to display a pdf file which is already available in my resources (template file "untitled"). In this pdf file, I have some fields which get their values from some texboxes in another form. My aim is, when the user triggers the button to call this form, it should insert the values inside the pdf file and display the output pdf inside the form.I have written the code to an extend but could not finish it myself after my many trials... Now here are the two things I cannot manage:I can use a directory to read the template pdf "untitled1.pdf". But my aim is to use the file inside my resources. can save the output file in a directory but this is not I want to do. I want to display the output pdf.

Is it possible to resize my controls on my form when I run it? The problem I have is that I have created a windows application which has a maximize state on all forms but on some machines my controls go missing (mostly on widescreen laptops). Ideally some way of resizing my controls would probably be best? So is that possible?
View 10 RepliesI've run in to a very annoying situation. At the moment I have a program with 4 forms. 3 of these forms work fine, but the fourth seems to be a dud. After clicking any one of the buttons or controls on this form it works. But if I try to click anything again, it doesn't work. I can't use my back buttons, I can't even use the minimize, maximize and exit buttons in the top right corner which are automatically built in to the program. I fear I have accidentally changed a setting, or accidentally deleted some very crucial code for this
View 8 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is have a Form which can dynamically change the controls which are on it and their properties; this allows my main GUI to be more fluid and not have tons of groups and controls on it which I must hide and show when needed. To make this as extensible and reusable as possible, however, I want all the control additions/subtractions/edits to occur through a separate DLL which I write. The problem is, I can't seem to instantiate any controls in the Class Library because I cannot import 'System.Windows' or any of its children ('Forms').
View 9 RepliesI did a quick net search and found this which works great for looping through all the buttons to disable them. These buttons are located right on the form.
For Each ctlControl In Form_BLAH.Controls
Select Case TypeName(ctlControl)
Case "Button"
ctlControl.Enabled = False
End Select
Next ctlControl
However...when I tried it on a form where the buttons are contained within a Table Layout Panel it does not work.
Where is the best place to resize a control on a form when a form is resized?....I'm currently using the Form1_SizeChanged event and seems to work ok. Also is there any need to check in the forms resize event if the form is in a minimized state before resizing controls?.,.. in VB6 if you try to resize a control when the form is minimized you get an error, but I don't see that happening in BV10 Form1_SizeChanged event, does VB10 automatically ignore resizing controls when a form is minimized or something?

View 1 RepliesI'd like to design a Winform with expanding controls if that 's overly complicated. The idea is that I would have rows of information, each with an "Expand" button. On pressing the button, the rows underneath the selected row would move down and the controls that are associated with the selected row (some textboxes/ dropdowns etc) would appear. Vice versa when you click the "Hide" button.
