VS 2010 - Can't Access Multiple Panels - Make Labels Merged In Panels
May 8, 2012
I'm trying to make custom ListBox with some graphics. Base is ItemCollection - each item contains Panel, 2x label and 2x picturebox. What each panel have to do:
- Change backcolor on MouseEnter and set color back when MouseLeave occurs.
- On MouseDown(LMB) - Panel stays "selected" - different color.
Problem: I can't access multiple panels at a time(and I need to), just one via sender as in function. Of course, I can do it hacky way, but I want to do it effective and regular. Is ItemCollection the right solution or should I do it just like an array of panels? Also I want them in one "box", ItemCollection is good for it.
Second "problem": I need to make labels "merged" in panels, when i MouseEnter them(labels), background color on that panel sets to my default color. when i MouseClick them(labels), nothing happens (need to "select" parent panel). It can be again fixed with hacky way, just disable labels - but then the colors of labels are unchangeable.
I'm building a memory game but I'm not exactly the most experienced coder. Basically, if two panels are shown then I want them to stay on the screen. The second part I can do, but I can't figure out how to have two variables in an If statement.I'll just post a bit of code (that is probably nothing near what it should be) so that you can understand what I'm trying to do.If Q1.Show() + A1.Show() then
I need to allow labels in disabled panels to retain a their prominent forecolor. So, I am considering replacing all labels in panels that become disabled with LinkLabels. By disabling the control and setting its disabled color to black it holds the color. However, I have always been of the opinion that one should use the lightest control possible.
To save from using several different forms in programs. I'd like to make just a few panels to represent each one. Then when I need to display one I just set it to visible or not visible.
For example, a quiz program. The 1st 10 questions are on one panel, the 2nd 10 are on a 2nd panel. They are both identical except different questions.
The problem is, when I try to put them both on the form, they have to be in different areas or else one will go inside the other. How can I keep several panels on one form without them going inside each other, in other words how can I keep them separate?
I have here another question. I have a panel with about 20 different panels inside of it. There is a "mouse move" event for panel 1, How could I make is so if the mouse is over 1 of the 20 different panels, Have it display the panel name? I would paste source but that's why I'm posting here.
How can I create a GUI in vb.net similar to the one above?i.e.there are "buttons" on the left which changes the main window when they are clicked.One way I thought of is create many panels overlapping and show/hide them when a certain button on the left is clicked.
I would like to have two different panels (with associated buttons, textboxes, etc.) on the same location on a form. Is this possible and if so, how do I go about doing it? I need this to control two different boards with the same application.I realize it would be difficult to edit the form if they are on top of each other. Is there a way to place these panels apart while designing/coding, but have them located in the same spot on the form during runtime?
I have 14 panels in my form, the user then input a number in the textbox. Then this textbox will now determine how many panels will be enable. My formula would be, userinputtextbox/0.5=panels to be open. Example: 3/0.5=6.
So far this is my code: for x = 1 to UserInputTextbox.text CType(Me.Controls("P" & x.ToString ), Panel).Enabled = True next
But I got this error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Is it possible for the monitor's screen to be split into multiple panels using vb.net? What I'm thinking about is I have two or three panels in the screen, the first panel is running a powerpoint presentaion, the other has an excel worksheet open and the other has a windows and fax viewer open something like that. Is it possible to do this on a windows form application project?
I'm using windows xp sp3 pentium 4 3.00ghz 2.99 ghz 1.99g ram Intel ® 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family (this is the video card right?) a plug and play 17 inch 1708 Dell monitor
I have a VB.NET (2005) application designed by my boss that uses a over 100 input and display controls (textboxes, comboxes, etc.), many with labels associated. My boss asked me to set the tab order, and then trap keypress so the user can use enter to navigate controls. I have 2 apps like this to work on.For the tab order, I could not use the View/TabOrder feature, since there are so many blue little tabindex popups showing, that I can not see any of the controls on the form to click. I tried clicking 'through' the popup with some success, but it still did not give me the tab order I wanted. The tab assistant that came with CodeSMART did not give me the result I wanted, either, so I could use it.
The controls on this usercontrol are spread among many groups, which in turn are spread among several splitcontainer panels. The 1st panel in the main splitcontainer has 3 main groupboxes which are selected via a toolstripbutton ( which sets the desired groupbox to visible and turning the others to invisible.) Example:
Private Sub ShowMainPanel() 'Note: Panels are groupboxes Me.MaterialPanel.Visible = False
I want to make a form with two panels. I one panel have eight circles that represent leds.And have a but to start turning on the firdt, then turn it off and turn on te second one, and so on.
Apparently I don't understand what PointToScreen() is actually returning. I'm thinking it should be absolute screen co-ordinates. In a form, I have some labels in a panel, which itself is in a panel and am trying to derive the screen co-ordinates for the labels in one statement without adding the X and Y co-ordinates of the panels. Why does PointToScreen(Label.Location) return the same value as PointToClient(Label.Location) and the same as Label.Location? Shouldn't PointToScreen() return absolute SCREEN co-odinates?
im using split containers right now to switch between 4 panels is it possible to make the form resize when i switch panels to the size of the contents of panel?
I am using vb 2010 and I have a question about anchor. I have two panels side by side, I anchored them both: top, left, right. But when I resize it the left panel goes behind the right panel. Isn't there a way so that when I resize, both panels grow parallel?
i have 2 panels , one next to other and one picture , when i have the mouse in front of the picture i hover another panel to show , it has a lil bigger width than the panel 1 and that doesnt allow it to show fully.
I'm from denmark and hope I can explain my question for you. This is just a example: I have a panel, let's say panel1 and another panel on that panel (panel2) and so on until for example panel5 - on panel5 I have a button (button1). Now I would like to change button1's backcolor property through code how do I then get access to button1, now it's a child-control on panel5 that is a child control on panel4 etc. ??
There are two panels A and B in a form horizontally, same size. Panel A archors with top,bottom, left and Panel B with top, bottom, right.When the form changed, the gap did.Panel A archors with top,bottom, left and Panel B with top, bottom, right and left.When the form changed, the gap doesn't, but only Panel B came bigger, Panel A didn't.Have you a way to keep the gap and the two panels can change in same time when the form changed?Must calculate the size of panels within Form's SizeChanged Event?
I have a form which has two panels each containing there own controls (Pnl1, Pnl2). By Default I want Pnl1 to show and Pnl2 to be hidden which I have set but I want Pnl2 to sit ontop of Pnl1 so when Pnl2 is selected Pnl2 is Visiable and Pnl1 is hidden. Therefore Pnl2 and the controls sit in the same place as the controls in Pnl1. I have got everything lined up but as I move Pnl2 over Pnl1 to sit ontop, Pnl2 is moved into Pnl1 and becomes a Panel within the Controls of Pnl1. Therefore when I hide Pnl1 everything is hidden as Pnl2 is part of Pnl1.
I am working with tab controls (tab1, tab2, etc) I want to more than one panel in tab1 and switch between them using a button. My problem is working with more than one panel in tab1. This is an educational program i am working on for schools in the Dominican Republic.
I had a form with four panels all have the same size and location I switch between them using .BringToFront
what I need is a transforming animation between them , can I do this with vb.net 2010
another explain I want somthing like fade effect when I change the visibility of a panel and show the other one and if I cant do this with panel control or vb.net windows forms ,
i want to make a Application Who Show Panel One By One or Visible =true one By one Like Panel1.visible=true & allpanels.visible=falsei m using 100 Panels how to make possible like this [URL]..
I am trying to stack panels on top of each other, but they keep becoming children of the one I put them on top of. I am stacking three panels. I want to show each based on certain criteria. The showing and hiding works if they are not directly on top of each other. However, I would like to have them on top of each other. They are all exactly the same size and same position
Im working to develop an application thats going to run on some not-so-good as performance PC's. The application is done in VB.NET and i encountered some obstacles during my work.
The idea of the application is to allow the users to slide through some pages when they click with the mouse and drag (while the left click is pressed) to right (for browsing to the previous page) and to left (for browsing to the next page). Every page contains 4/6/9 panels with 4/6/9 pictureboxes with some gifs as images.
The issue is that when the user drag with the mouse to browse to a page, the panels and the pictureboxes jerks around when they are moved.
Here is the code that handles the slide part
If i + speed < 1024 Then For j As Integer = 0 To nrOfGamesInTotal - 1 totemGame.gamePanel(j).Left = totemGame.gamePanel(j).Left + direction * speed
I'm having a bit of trouble creating draggable panels that will stay on top of all the other panels and not 'hide' behind them. My code for dragging works fine, I just need to set the layer of a panel to the top of all the different controls
