View 2 RepliesI'm having trouble getting an naero glass code which works properly. I hav ecome across many in which anything black becomes aero aswell. Is it possible to have the black text unaffected by the aero like, change it so that another colour becomes aero instead?Also this is just an extra but can you change the colour of the aero you have? Like default is blue change you change it to like yellow, or black or another colour?
View 4 RepliesI have made an application which involves the .NET Chart control by Microsoft. My difficulty here is that I'm targeting my applications for lower specs computers, i.e. with fresh installed Windows XP and with .NET Framework 2.0 installed on them. Whereas the Chart control requires .NET 3.5 to be installed on the system.
I was thinking, is it possible that I make my app that runs on the system which has .NET 2.0 on it, and in the part where my app shows the Chart, it simply shows a message that "please install .NET 3.5 in order to view the trend charts". And when the user installs the .NET 3.5, my app detects it and enables the chart control.
Problem is that if I want my app to run on 2.0 framework, I have to set the target framework in compile options to 2.0. But that way I cannot put the Chart control on my WinForm because it requires at least 3.5 framework to be set in the compile options.If I set the 3.5 as target framework, then obviously it wont run on 2.0 system.
Can some kind of conditional coding be done that only runs if the system is equipped with 3.5 framework. I dont want to create two separate applications for 3.5 with chart, and 2.0 without chart.
In some of my TextBoxes and editable ComboBoxes, I want to make sure that the end-user can only type characters and whitespace but not to allow whitespace without characters existing too.
I have started to write a public sub and would like to know the best way of accomplishing this scenario check. This is what I have so far. Your ideas are welcome.

I have the following code:
Private Sub btnReserve_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnReserve.Click
Using dbContext As pbu_housingEntities = New pbu_housingEntities

executes it always get 0, because the row has not yet been created in the database. I can just move this last bit of code out into its own Context, but is there a better way to do this?
What I'm trying to accomplish is for the user to select a menu item(New Tester) from the MainForm(only used for menu)to open the NewTesterForm and enter a rating from 1 to 10( 10 being the best) for two different drinks. When the user clicks the ok button on the NewTesterForm it adds the new rating to the totals. It keeps adding the rating totals until a user clicks the cancel button which returns to the MainForm. When the user clicks on the MainForm menu item Summary, The SummaryForm opens and displays:
-average rating for each drink which drink had a higher rating(the name of the drink)the total number of testers

the goal i want to accomplish is when the user presses a button, "moneyamount" increases by a random number generated. the problem i am having is that after the action is finished the script does not seem to save the new value and always starts at zero. here is the script:
Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles dojob1button.Click
Dim moneyamount As Integer = moneyamount + Int(Rnd() * 10)
moneylabel.Text = "$" & moneyamount
End Sub

View 8 RepliesI can't figure out how it is possible to change the color for aero glass (which is blue by default).I want to change it to yellow (or brown) if the battery level (only for laptops of course) is low, to red when its critical. I have read a lot and was able to read the color (registry and api) and I was able to get notified when the color changes (wndproc) but there is no api call to set the color. I am able to set the registry key. That works, but requires a reboot, which is (in my case) not a solution. I have tried to simulate the wndproc message as broadcast, no result...What does the control panel applet do? If I change the color there it will be instantly applied, even the setting is not saved to the registry (which will be the best solution for my case). Programming language is vb9, vista is required by the application itself, so no other checks are required.
View 8 Replieshow to get working aero in Visual Basic 2008.I am making this media player and got everything I need for that. But what I really wanted is aero since Windows Vista got a nice interface and a few lucky people got it.But the tutorials I got worked great on Windows 7! However, I couldn't get aero because of a transparency key. (I swear I use a color picker to see if background color and transparency key are the same color.)I can't get it to work any piece of code I give.But the good part is that aero WILL work on any 7 or Vista without any form change, but the text is white with blue specks and that is not what I want.
EDIT:i found how to do it now! you need to use the property UseCompatibleTextRendring and put it to True. Now the problem is how do i do the same for the rest? (microsoft was to lazy to edit the controls)
