When I draw a line on the form using Visual Basic Power Packs the ends of the line are squared off. Is there way to round them off? In code I could write something like this to do it:
vb.net
Dim pn As New Pen(Color.Black, 5)
pn.StartCap = Drawing2D.LineCap.Round
pn.EndCap = Drawing2D.LineCap.Round
How could I do it with Power Packs?
I have made an form in vb 2008 which uses the printform component to print my form. I can run the app on my PC as well as on my notebook. But I cannot run it on others' PC. Though PCs having Internet connection can download Visual Basic Powerpacks 1.2 from the setup, I want to install it on PCs having no internet connection.

View 3 Repliesadd custom Visual Styles to .net 2010 form?
View 1 RepliesI have created a VB.NET Class Library that exposes some COM Interop sub routines. These in turn show various forms that are contained within the Class Library. When the forms are shown from VB6 they do not inherit the visual styles of the operating system and act like VB6 controls.
I gather that this probably by design but is there some way to force/control visual styles manually in the .NET assembly? I would imagine that if I use a manifest in my VB6 app then everything will use the correct style but I would like to be able to control this myself if possible because we are using 3rd party controls in VB6 that do not require a manifest.
I've done much research in how to turn off visual styles for a custom drawn control, and coming only close on how to do this.
The problem I am seeing is that Application.EnableVisualStyles affects a boolean which tells the control how it should paint itself. I don't have a problem with styles being enabled, but rather getting a button to be drawn without using the visual styles rendering function.
Public Class LookupButton
Inherits Button
#Region "Disable Themes"
[Code]....
Method 2 simply does not do anything, nor would I want to use it, since it calls unmanaged code.
Method 1 does the right thing for the button, disabling the theme, but of course it does way more than that causing the entire window/app to blink with/without visual styles. And even if this did work, I wouldn't use it because it effects the entire application.
We need visual styles enabled on progress bars, since marquee will be used on a few database calls.
The button has an image ontop of it which gets cut off by the visual styles rounded corners. And there are a few more controls which would be benificial to turn off visual styles as well.
If there is anyway to manipulate the ButtonRenderer so it does not render using visual styles, this is the solution I am looking for. Having no styling for any buttons is preferable.
This is for a project I am working on for my company. We have Visual Studio 2005 .NET Team Edition (per customer request), and are gold certified (which I don't want to give up community support/supporting the community, but is there any programming forums for us where our answers could be answered before 24 hours and/or the questions goes into consideration when microsoft develops tool?).
To me it seems silly to have Visual Styles enable-able for the whole application, when dealing with the windows api, individual windows/controls can easily be themed or unthemed.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong because I can't see how the problems I'm having with controls' appearance in Win7 can be normal. When "Enable XP visual styles" is enabled in my application, my progressbars never fill and gridlines don't show in Listviews. Disabling XP visual styles fixes those problems, but then everything looks like Win98 and that's no solution.

I am using VB.Net 2008. I am using a 3rd party dll in my app that requires xp visual styles to be turned off, or that a manifest file be added to my app to re-direct comctl32.dll (link to 3rd party workaround:[URL]
I tried creating the manifest according to: [URL] This did not change the issue. Perhaps I did not add the manifest properly?
Here are the steps I tried:
1. Add xml file to app and name it MyApp.exe.manifest
2. Add the xml file to my resources.
The above did nothing so I removed it and then:
3. Add xml file to app and name it Comctl32.dll.manifiest
4. Add the xml file to my resources.
That did nothing either.
Here is the manifiest I tried adding:

I'm working on two different projects - both in VB.NET/Visual Studio 2008 (as much as I'd like to move to 2010).
I find I'm confusing the different coding standards that I'm supposed to follow. IE - Project1 wants variables named in a Hungarian-style notation like 'iSomeValue'; the does not want a prefix. One project requires an _ prefix on private class-level variables - etc...etc...
Are there any tools I can integrate with VS 2008 that will let me easily swap between pre-defined styles and format my code for me?
Just wondering how i can enable visual styles with the application framework option disabled - it would be nice to have the ability to use the xp+ theming while having a bit more flexibility

View 9 RepliesDoes anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates
Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?

when the user clicks on the add button another form launches, which enables the user to add student info such as name, address, course, start date and end date, this information is then written to class when the ok button on that form is clicked, and then displays the data on the initial form in data grid. the user can add multiple entries and they are all displayed on the intial form and a the data grid is populatedwhen any of the rows in the displayed grid is selected, and the update button is clicked then the same form launches as the previous one and but this time its in the update mode and pre populates the form with the inital values.
