IDE :: Set Project Default For Winforms Projects S/ Default Modifier For Controls Added To Winforms Is Private

May 28, 2010

Is it possible to set a project default for VB.NET winforms projects so that the default Modifier for controls added to winforms is Private (not Friend)?I know there's a "modifiers" property in the properties window so I can set it for each individual control however I would like to change the project so from now on myself and other developers have to specifically decide to change from friend to private. (Which I would strongly discourage them from doing).I believe there is no way of doing this, but on another forum a while ago someone mentioned it would be possible with an add-in (but didn't name the add-in or where to get it).

Add Items To A Listview In A Specific Order?

Apr 18, 2012

If Not m_Batchs Is Nothing Then[code]...

I have this list view (which is working fine) and i want to find an efficient way of populating it in a specific order, ie by date, by identity etc.

I know i can use linq but as i understand this is inefficient. If m_batchs is a large list of objects then i will looping through this list many, many time (as linq behind the scenes loops through the object collection).

Sort Line In Specific Order?

Nov 23, 2009

i have lines like this

1.0 28 Blue [B3-T1 ] (2 16.00 43.0) 10000 -10000 72111 23275
1.0 28 Blue [B3-T2 ] (2 17.00 43.0) 11000 -10000 72111 30275
1.0 28 Blue [B3-T3 ] (2 16.00 44.0) 12000 -10000 70611 23275

[Code].....

Let say the columns that i highlighted is X and Y. I have to arrange the small Y first which is -10000 then arrage big Y which -11000 then arrange again samall Y followed by big Y. Here i only have -10000 and -11000. but let say i also have -12000 so i have to arrange -10000 first then -11000 then -12000. But i also have to look at X column. If let say x value is same next line so it should side by side like i higlighted the two row.

the lines should be identified by [B3] as it will be one group. Can we use IComparer methode here? How to arrange the lines in order thet i want?

VS 2010 Testing Key Presses In Specific Order?

Nov 7, 2011

I'm making a keyboard test that will test to make sure each key, in a specific keyboard layout, is working correctly.

Each key, with the exception of the first, will be disabled by default. I need to have the tester press the first key (Escape) and if it works, disable that key and move on to the next, (F1). This process will repeat until all the keys have tested.

The dilemma I have is figuring out how to test each keystroke, in order, without making a huge nested if statement.

The only method I could think of, at the moment, was to check the Enable property of the control and then check for the correct keystroke. But, again, doing this would make a huge mess.

Getting The Order To Contained Controls?

May 10, 2010

Suppose that one has a panel an inside it there are many buttons with Dock=Top. The button would tend to be stacked on top of the panel. How can I get a reference for each button from top to bottom? The button would be created in a random order, so I don't think that using the index of each button in the Controls collection of the Panel would suffix.

.net - Two Methods Handling Me.FormClosing; Why Do They Fire In This Specific Order?

Aug 11, 2011

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
Handles Me.Load, Me.FormClosing
MessageBox.Show("form_load")[code]....

While closing the form I observed that the Form1_FormClosing method is fired first, and then Form1_Load second. Why is this order chosen? Why doesn't Form1_Load get fired/entered first, and then Form1_FormClosing second?How does .NET choose which method to fire first, of the two that handle the same event?

Changing The Layout Order Of Controls?

Feb 28, 2011

I dynamically add picture boxes to a vb.net form. However, when I add the new picture box, it is always under/below/behind the picture boxes that I previously created. Is it possible to change it so that the newly created picture box would always be in front of the others?

Renaming Controls In Sequential Order?

Aug 15, 2011

This is part of the last coding that codeorder helped me with. I didn't include this in the last post because I thought this was something that I was going to be able to do. Unfortunately, it is not working properly. In addition to the controls being removed, the control rows after the removed row should be changed so it's still in sequential order. Private Sub PictureBoxRemove_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim RowRemove As String = CType(sender, PictureBox).Name.Replace("PictureBoxRemove", "")

Sql - Equivalent For Value-property For Controls In Winforms?

May 3, 2012

I'm used to webdeveloping, and when I work with databases, I usually use some text for the Text-property of a radio button, and the row's ID as Value-property. This makes it very easy to save to databases.

Is the an equivalent in winforms for the Value-property, or will I have to identify rows based on the text in the control?

Controlling The Order Of Controls Being Populated On A Form In VB 2008?

Jul 29, 2011

My form contains a datagrid and a checked listbox. The listbox is populated on the form_load event. There's a function called when the datagrid's SelectionChanged event is triggered that modifies the checkmarks in the listbox. It all works fine when I manually click on any item in the datagrid.

However, the very first time the form runs, the checkmarks are not affected, even though the first item in the datagrid appears selected. I discovered that this is because the actual listbox is not yet populated on the form at the time the very first SelectionChanged event is triggered. So when the function tries setting the checkboxes, it doesn't get anywhere, since it doesn't see any items in the listbox.

Somehow the datagrid is getting populated, even before the form_load event is triggered. I need the listbox to be populated before the datagrid is populated, but I have no idea how to control this.

IDE :: Format Order Of Controls Instantiated By Code During Run Time

Feb 3, 2009

I am working on an application that requires buttons and links to be added during run time, it's a bit like a flow chart. The buttons are used to display information similar to a multi line text box, but I also use the click, double click and mouse events for these buttons. The links are drawn as label controls. My problem is that I want to control the format order of these controls with the buttons always being on the top layer and the labels one layer back so that when labels are added they aways pass behind the buttons. If this was done at design time it is very easy to use the menu Format > Order to get overlapping controls displayed the way I want. But, the controls placed on the form at run time do not have a Format or Order property.

WinForms: Locating The Relative Position Of Two Controls

Jul 9, 2010

I'm writing a VB.Net WinForms application that has multiple data girds on any given form. On one such form, the data grids are loaded into split containers which in turn are located on a tab control. The load method for each data grid is threaded so that an animated "Loading" form can be shown. I would like to position the new loading form (which is smaller than the grid) on top of, and preferably in the center of, the grid that is loading. Whats the easiest way to find the grids location within the main form so that I can adjust the loading forms location?

IDE :: InitializeComponent Generated By Designer Puts Controls In The Wrong Order

Aug 20, 2009

The code generator creates code with references to a component I am using, before it's dependent components (datasets) are initalized. Although I can correct this by editing the form.designer.vb file, everytime I make a change on the form the code is re-generated in the wrong order. Where does VS2008 store information about the order of the components for code generation.

This Runs:
'
'AppointmentBindingSource
'
Me.AppointmentBindingSource.DataMember = "appointment"

.net - Create Custom DataTable Which Is Bindable To WinForms Controls?

Aug 25, 2011

Our shop primarily use "ADO objects" (I'm referring to DataSet, DataTable, and DataRow) for marshaling around data and manipulating it on forms and in grids. We are experimenting with creating shop-flavored counterparts to the native ADO objects so that we can impose our in-house standards on top of them. Implementing this is straightforward with one exception: I want our objects to be bindable to controls.

I'm aware of IList, IBindingList, BindingSource, etc. and have looked at and experimented with these, but I am falling short when it comes to making a class with no hard property names bindable. The native ADO objects are not strongly typed by default. You have column values that you access via the Item property (e.g. row("Age") or row.Item("Age")). The binding examples I've found online deal with strong-typed objects (e.g. row.Age). Essentially, we want to create custom ADO objects (not inherited from the native ones) that still retain their ability to bind to controls. In a grid I would expect to see columns Name, Age and Occupation from a row where these properties are exposed via row("Name"), row("Age") and row("Occupation"). This must be doable as this is exactly what the native DataTable and DataRow provide.

Save Data From WinForms Controls To A SQL Server Database?

Jun 29, 2010

I do have Visual VB.NET 2008 Express installed, SQL Server 2005 express installed, and I do know how to start a brand new project in VB.NET, and then add the database to the solution explorer, modify the tables/fields, etc. I know how to create a WinForm, add some controls (and name them and whatnot).....

So in MS Access I know how to use VB in the Code-Behind-Form to use the form in an unbound manner, and insert data into the tables via Visual Basic with SQL statements. I am looking to be able to begin the same sort of thing here, because I guess I have to start somewhere?

Winforms :: Why Changing Form Font Resize Some Controls

Feb 15, 2011

All my forms inherits from one base form where we handle background paint and set standard properties. Recently, I think of cheching if the app is running on Vista or Later to use Segoe UI font, and I added this. The problem is than inherited forms changed sizes and their inner controls changed also... even PictureBoxes! The controls and forms seems to be thinner (in width), so square picturebox became vertical rectangules!

WinForms Text Controls - Keypress Event Handler

Mar 14, 2011

In connection with a windows form's text control the keypress event handler provides a key's identity through the KeyChar property of the event argument. This works fine for all alphanumeric keys and Ctl-a ... Ctl-z, Backspace etc. but does nothing for such keys as Insert, Delete, Home, End, and the navigation keys. I would also want to read Ctl and Alt keys combinations etc. I have done these thing before, too many years ago, but forgotten it all. Tried the reference manual, but have not enough years left to succeed that way.

Winforms - Form Controls Shift Position When Solution Opened On Laptop?

Mar 8, 2009

I developed a VB Winforms application in VS2010 Pro on my Win7 x64 desktop computer. I also have VS2010 loaded on my Win7 x64 laptop and when I open the same solution the application's form controls are shifted out of alignment and appear slightly stretched horizontally. The VS IDE settings are identical on both computers. Any idea why the solution looks perfect in the IDE when on my desktop, but when opened in the IDE on my laptop, all the controls shift out of alignment horizontally
