I am trying to add a toolbar to my app and I would like to use larger icons than the standard 16x16. An older VB6 app that I created had large icons but I cannot figure out how to get my VB.net app to change to use the large icons.
I can't find an answer to this question anywhere. How do I add a control to the toolbar? I clicked Add reference and added the Microsoft Internet Transfer Protocol, but I can't see it on the toolbar. I also tried with another reference, but couldn't get it there either.
So, should it be there or am I completely wrong? Quirky commenters, please choose another thread. I just want an answer.
EDIT: To make it easier from the start for you guys: I use version 2008.
In .net MDI application the menu of child form automatically is merged to the menu of parent form.Is there a way to do similar thing with the tool bars.The concept is to send the toolbar of active child to the parent toolbar stripe
I hava a MDI form toolbar with command buttons and a picturebox on it.The problem is when I maximize the MDI form on runtime. The picturebox does not change its location to extreme right. I would like to have the picturebox on right hand side of the toolbar all the time, wether MDI form is maximized or in resized condition.
Not really sure what's going on here, but basically I got a new Component/Addon for my Windows Forms. I go and reference it to the Toolbar, which it accepts, and the 3 new components pop up on the screen, all fine and dandy.However, I go and press OK to add them to a group, and nothing happens. They aren't added. So, I try again, same thing. Thinking it could be a bug with the new Component, I make a new group and try to add a built in item to it, and to my surprise, nothing happens as well.
How does one go about creating their own toolbar for Internet Explorer, or something along those lines? I've been doing some digging around the web, but nobody has really made it clear whether or not it's possible to do with vb.net. I tend to keep in mind that there is almost nothing that isn't possible in vb.net but that's almost.
I am using Vb 2008, and im trying 2 enable a copy button thats in a toolbar until there is text selected in my rich text box. (normal state of the button is disabled.)
my code is below
If Editor.SelectionLength > 1 Then CopyToolStripMenuItem.Enabled = True End If End Sub
I am thinking about make a toolbar like... the quick launch toolbar, with autohide, top position (opposite of start/task bar), skinnable, etc.Is this possible? I need it to work with XP and Vista. I am using Visual Studio 2008, VB.NET.
I am using VS2010 Pro and can no longer see the step into command buttons on the toolbar. That and the step out have disappeared. I know I had many more toolbar buttons across the top that I don't see now but the debug toolbar is checked but there isn't even the step into or step out options to add to the toolbar.
I have created a toolbar on my form and added icons (.ico or .png) such as New, Open, Save, etc. I can't seem to find out how to make my icons transparent so I don't have the white background displayed on the icons.
I must be loosing my mind! I came back to working on a small project after not being able to work on it for some time and now the IDE layout is totally different. For instance, there used to be a toolbar that showed a run button, step into, step over and such but now its not there, and, for the life of me I can't find it! I went to reseting the layout options to default, VB and so forth but cannot find it. In addition, when I hit F5 nothing happens. I can't figure out how to run my project from the IDE. Have I lost my mind or what?
I have created a non-modal form which has a listbox and progress bar class. I would like to update the progressbar and add information to the list box as the code is running but I cannot access those classes on the form from other classes and modules inside my vb.net 2003 app.
I can add a link to my toolbar by dragging the shortcut onto it, and Process.Start(lnk) runs it so far so easy, and i end up with e.g. lnk = "C:Documents and Settings....XXX.lnk"
how to extract the Icon assosciated with the shortcut lnk
For one of my first projects I wrote a sophisticated toolar. Now the icon adder does not see all the programs that are in the directory.Here's some of the code:
Private Sub CbAddFile_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CbAddFile.Click
I have been perusing the internet in search of the best way to accomplish this, but have had no luck. If someone here has experience with Office add-ins, I'm not asking for a solution by any means, just assistance with which direction to take. The software I'm working on is primarily in VB.Net and C#; IDE is VS2008 Here's my scenario:
I want control of tabcontrol Attached project contains 2 From first like the second i need Control of tabcontrol Under the Menus and Toolbar the code Public Class Form2
I'm writing an application that I want to keep status text always on the taskbar. Some programs like Windows Media player create a toolbar that can be added to the taskbar. Is there a way to do this in VB.NET, and if so how ... ?
I can create a notifyicon, and although it can be used to display notifications I need the text information to always be displayed... I could have used different icons to show a change in status in the notifytray but I really need text to display the status.
I'm looking into figuring out how to add a deskband as a toolbar to my taskbar, very similar to the google desktop search toolbar. All it needs to have is a search textbox, a button, and some way to display results. I want to add it to an existing application, so that when the application is minimized it'll turn into a toolbar so that certain program functions will be available all the time.This means that I have a few things to figure out:We mostly have windows xp machines, but we hope to upgrade to windows 7 over the next year. In light of this, should I keep researching deskbands, or should I try to figure out thumbnail toolbars? I've seen a link to [URL].. as one way to do it in C#, which I might be able to translate to VB.Net. I also found [URL].. which kind of tells how to do things. Is there a better way to accomplish this?Should I just skip all of this and have a small windows form that opens up from an icon in the system tray?
I'm on page 243 of "Sam's Teach Yourself Visual Basic 2008" and it says: * Display the ViewerForm form in the Form Designer * Double-click on the Draw Border button on the toolbar. Only -- I don't see a Draw Border button on the toolbar.
