Properties Of Controls On A Form?

Jun 18, 2011

I'm trying to write a routine which will produce a list of the values of some of the properties for every control that I've placed on a form. I can do this manually by looking up the names of each of the controls, but I'd rather use a construct like this -for each formname as string in xxxx

for each ctrlname as string in yyyy(formname)
....
next

next

However, I'm having problems with the various examples of this code that I found in the library. I'm not sure whether it's because I don't know how to set up the syntax correctly or this sort of construct isn't possible in this context.

How To Access Controls' Private Properties On Another Form

Feb 25, 2010

I am trying to access the controls' properties on another form without having to modify the code of the other projec (the one containing the controls that I want to access) because it is already compiled as a DLL. In this DLL that I am trying to access, the functions/sub-procedures are all declared as private. Would there be any way of accessing the controls' properties without having to modify the DLL? Basically what I am trying to do is create a sort of console application wrapper for the DLL that would create a new instance of the DLL's form and then make certain checkboxes checked and click certain buttons. Basically, I am trying to automate the form as it currently exists.

IDE :: Controls Toolbox Empty - No Properties For Form?

Mar 12, 2008

I am running Visual Basic 2008 express edition. My controls toolbox is empty. There are also no properties for the form controls on my project. Just blank. I have removed the .net framework v2.0. I had the .net framework v3.5 installed at the time, and thought I didn't need the older version (v2.0). Do I need v.2.0 for the tools? If so, where can I get a copy? What's the filename called?

Controls Not Return All The Child Controls For The Form?

Apr 15, 2010

I have a slight problem With an enumaration of child controls on a form. The following code will not get but about have the controls that are on the form. The controls show that the count is correct but when it goes through the loop it skips over some of the controls. If you run it through the enumeration two or three times it will get all the controls a few at a time. The solution uses two forms, one that has the controls and the other that labels are made and displayed on. The Tx is just a index to add a number to the label.name and rename the label. So each label is identified seperately. This works for all the the controls that are seen in the for each loop.

IDE :: VB Controls Properties Not Visible?

Jun 6, 2011

I recently uninstalled an IDE for a motion control system (Delta Tau) that is a visual studio based product. Now when I bring up my Visual Basic 2008 IDE that I'm using to write an HMI for the control system, the properties for controls placed on forms doesn't appear in the properties window. And if I click on properties for a form I get the FileProperties2 information, not the form control properties such as size, location, or color. I am also not able to access the controls in the VB toolbox to place on a form. The controls are grayed out and unavailable. what part of Visual Studio 2008 got broke in the Delta Tau uninstall?

C# - Binding Controls To Class Properties?

Mar 20, 2009

I have yet to find a "nice" way to do two way databinding in .Net. The one thing I don't like for example in the present asp.net two way databinding is doing the binding in the aspx page is no compile time checking, ie:

<asp:TextBox ID="TitleTextBox"
runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Title_oops_spelled_wrong") %>'>

I would like to have something like this:

Class Binder
Public Sub BindControl(ctl As Control, objectProperty As ???????)
'// Add ctl and objectProperty to a collection
End Sub

What I don't know is possible is, how to receive the objectProperty in my example; I want to receive a reference (ie: a pointer) to the property, so later, via this reference, I can either read from or write to the property.

Can this somehow be done with delegates perhaps??

UPDATE: Note, I want to add the control reference to a binding collection, this collection would then be used for binding and unbinding.

User Control With Other Controls As Properties

Jan 18, 2012

In my asp.net 4.0 application I have a standard set of tabs controls across the application that has one tab for Search, one for View and one for Reporting.I am in the process of updating those tabs and I was hoping to be able to wrap their functionality up into a single user control since they all function in pretty much similar ways. The issue I am having is how to create a property called SeacrhTab/ViewTab/ReportTab that allows me to assign a different user control to it depending on the area of the application (e.g. CompanySearchControl, ContactSearchControl, etc.) Anyone ever tried to accomplish something similar?

VS 2005 Controls Not Allowing Properties To Be Set?

Oct 2, 2009

I have an application that has a main form and several sub forms, but it is not an mdi application. I am pulling data from various tables in an access database and loading into an dataset. In my module I have a sub that is processing the returned tables and is supposed to be setting controls values (radiobuttons and checkboxes checked values mainly) on the sub forms. The forms have not been called previously and when I do a .show() on them, the controls that were supposed to have been set are not, my question is why are they not setting?? Here is the code I am using to set my controls from the module:

If ds.Tables.Contains("FacilityReviewAnswers") = True _
AndAlso ds.Tables("FacilityReviewAnswers").Rows.Count > 0 Then
For Each c As DataColumn In ds.Tables("FacilityReviewAnswers").Columns
If c.ColumnName <> "SurveyID" Then

Working With Properties In Custom Controls?

Feb 1, 2011

I am trying to learn how to create Windows Forms custom controls in VB.Net by creating a .Net version of an old control I created in VB6. On this control, I have a UserControl with a Label (lblCaption), and several of the properties I add to the control should be passed to the label.This is the code I tried for the ForeColor property:

Code:
Protected mcolForeColor As Color = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.ButtonHighlight)
Public Overrides Property ForeColor() As Color
Get

[code]....

When I change the ForeColor on the control in my test project, lblCaption does change to the color I selected; however, when I run the application, the label changes back to the default (button highlight) color, and the value of the property is also reverted back when I return to the form designer.What would be the proper way to implement the ForeColor property on a custom control?

Setting Font Properties For Controls One At A Time?

Sep 25, 2011

In VB6 I would simply retrieve the user font setting from the .ini file, load into variables and then apply to the appropriate control.

text1.fontbold = userfontbold
text1.fontitalic = userfontitalic
text1.fontunderline = userfontunderline
etc.

I'm struggling to understand how to do this vb.net The following code works, but sets all three at one time

Text1.Font = New Font("Courier", 10, FontStyle.Bold Or FontStyle.Italic Or FontStyle.Underline)Since the user can have many different combinations of settings, I would like to be able to add just one of these properties at a time, but can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Interface And Graphics :: Controls In Usercontrols Losing Properties?

Feb 5, 2010

The project I'm working on (the same one I'm always asking about) has tabs as the main navigation. I've made some User Controls to sit above the tabs in an attempt to reduce the number of overall controls that are being used (to great success). Now, however, there's one control that overlaps some controls on a tab that are obscured by my newest UControl and I want to make the background transparent.I've seen that AtmaWeapon keeps pointing people to this page detailing how to make the background transparent. That's great and it worked for me. All I did was create the

Code:Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() AsSystem.Windows.Forms.CreateParamsand it worked the way I wanted. Yay. I did write the rest of it too as well as part from a post I saw on the msdn forums, but they weren't needed to get the effect I wanted.However, I've got a number of PictureBoxes on this UControl that should have a BorderStyle of "Fixed3D". However, when this UControl is repainted the borderstyle doesn't reflect this (Note to self: don't .Refresh() a control inside its own .Paint() event ). This doesn't happen the FIRST time they become visible, but only when they've shown up and are made to redraw (like toggling visibility). If the border changes programmatically they look fine

I added the following to the code-behind of the ascx control:

Access Properties Of Controls On A Programatically Created User Control .NET?

Nov 19, 2011

After taking a few years off from programming, I decided to start learning vb.net. I have created a user control that contains a picture box. I added some custom properties to the picture box that will hold general string data from a database.

My problem is that the user control is programatically created during run time, and during this time a DoubleClick event handler is added for the picture box that is within the user control.

I need to be able to set the custom properties for the picture box during the creation of the user control, so that when the control (picture box) is double clicked I can read these values but am unsure on how to access them.

The picture box is the entire size of the user control, or I would just add the custom properties right to the user control and add the DoubleClick event handler to that. However, double clicking needs to be done on the picture box since it takes up the entire user control, unless anyone has an idea to trigger the DoubleClick event of the user control when the picture box is double clicked.
