Windows 7-style Shadows?
Apr 14, 2012
Currently I'm using the standard code for form drop shadows that creates an effect identical to that of XP's, but you will notice in Windows 7 that the shadows are much larger, are not visible only on the right & bottom sides of the form (example: [URL]Here's the code I'm currently using:
Private Const CS_DROPSHADOW As Integer = &H20000
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As System.Windows.Forms.CreateParams
Get
Dim cp As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
[code]....
Is there a way to expand the shadow to resemble Windows 7 more?

I always liked the WindowsShade utility on the Mac. Is there some sample code on how to do the same thing in VB.Net or C#.Net for Windows.
I have implemented it myself for a single app, but I would like to have it work for any window..

I am creating a Windows Application in VB.Net 2.0. The application is an FTP transfer application, where I need to display 2 panes. On the first pane, I need to display the client folder structure and on the other pane, I need to display the remote FTP server. Most of the functionality is complete, but I am stuck on 2 places.
1. I need to display a combo box on top, similar to the one we have for Windows Explorer Address bar (where we can see My Computer, Desktop, Network Places, Drives, etc.). I have searched a lot but could not find something matching my requirement other than a few 3rd party controls which I need to purchase (I am looking for something open-source).
2. I am using ListView Control to display the files list. I need to show icons for "My Computer", Network Places and desktop on the List View, which I am not able to do. Is there any way I can display these Icons and make them work exactly the way Windows Explorer does?

I knew VB.net is very weird when talking about shadows and overloads, but this this I'm completely baffled.I'm working with a model similar to the following one. Parent class:
Public Class Base
Function F() As String
Return "F() in Base Class"
End Function

when we have a method of a derived class implementing a method of an interface which is already implemented in the base class, the compiler throws a warning (by default). when i see a warning i will try to erase it and the only way to erase this warning is to mess with the settings of the compiler hence i hope that there is a way to declare "how" a method implements an interface's method. by this i meant that we should be able to declare overridable, overrides and shadows for the implements keyword. hence if we declare overridable-implement for a method of a base class implementing an interface's method, the compiler should give no warnings when we override this implementation (re-implementing in a derived class). Similarly, if the method of the base class implementing an itnerface's method was not declared as ovveridable-implement, the derived class should be able to Shadow the implementation example code which flags unnecessary warning:

I am trying to make a style that only gets applied if the parent element of the element that the style refers to, has another specific style. Kind of like in CSS where you can do ".class1 .class2" to specify that the "class2" theme only applies if it is within an element with the class "class1". I do not wish to use any form of external DLLs or libraries for this task. I want to know if it's possible to implement on my own.
I've tried using MultiTriggers with no luck. I have a style that applies to all TextBlocks. I want the textblock to do the following: If the font-size of the textblock is 11 and the parent element's style is "PinnedSuggestion", set the foreground color to "#FF505050". If the font-size of the textblock is 11 and the parent element's style is "Suggestion", set the foreground color to "#FFCCCCCC". The conditions that I have tried to write to make this work, are as follows (the font-size condition is true, but the other one is not). The conditions are inside a style that applies to all textblocks in general.

I've wanted to know the answer to this question for a long time but I never really took the time to ask anyone. My question is, why do rounded edges or drop shadows of transparent form layouts turn white. Take a look at the following image to know what I'm talking about.

I am creating an application and am very new to VB. I have 4 buttons on my form which is like my applications main menu. I would like that each of the buttons behaves in the following way when there is a mouse rollover: The Button back color is changed from the default to Red The Button text is changed to Blue, Bold, and increases in font size I would also like all the buttons to go back to their initial state when the mouse leaves.
Another thing, instead of me writing code for each of the buttons event handlers (Mouse Hovers, and Mouse Leaves) is there a way I can write this code once, maybe as a function and then always call it for any button that I create from here on so that any new buttons take on this behaviour.
