I am working on a project that is pretty much done, but I wanted to put the finishing touch on it.I have a shock wave flash object over most of my form, and I load shock wave files onto it so they are accessible from the main flash object. But one of the shock wave menus I have is pretty much just flat, and I was wondering how I can make it a little transparent like the windows 7 GUI so you can kind of see a blur of whats behind the GUI.
View 3 RepliesI am looking to create a menu system in vb 2010 windows app. See attached file to give you an idea of what I want to achieve. I could do it by creating 4 buttons and have 4 panels. when button one is pressed make panel one visible and hide other 3 panels, etc This just seems messy. Will any of the built in VB menu components do this?

How do I make a menu item on a menu strip link to another windows form (like a menu item that links to an about page already created in the project). I know that every coder knows how to do this, but i've read most of the instructions in the world for Visual Basic coding, but can't find ANYTHING I know coding fairly well, so I can modify it, but I can't create it my self.

I recently installed WSP Builder on a machine with Visual Studio 2008 already installed.Quite expectedly, the WSP Builder sub-menu appeared (and still appears) under the Visual Studio 2008 Tools menu.Having then installed Visual Studio 2010 Professional and installed WSP Builder a second time, I can not seem to find the WSP Builder sub-menu anywhere under any of the Visual Studio 2010 menus.Can anyone throw some light on this "missing menu" problem?
View 2 RepliesI noticed that adding a MenuStrip (from the Toolbox) to my form design doesn't yield a menu bar like many native Windows applications. Instead I get a menu bar like Visual Studio's own. None of the style settings for MenuStrip appear to mimic the much more common native menu bar.Is there a way to add a menu bar to my Windows Forms application that looks the same as the one you see in Notepad, Task Manager and others? (Preferably with the designer, but I wouldn't mind adding it programmatically either.)

I have created a Windows Application using VB dot Net. It has many Forms. The user shall be able to open many forms at a time. I want to provide a "Window" menu functionality to the existing application.

View 1 RepliesI have got a surprise when my app did not work as I expected when I started it from the Windows Start Menu. I explain: When starting the program from the application directory, it works fine, because the "Application Path" property gives the right path to find the access database located in the same directory, BUT, the problems comes when I start the program from the Windows Start Menu. What can I do to solve this?
