View 3 RepliesVS 2010 XP Visual Styles Breaks Controls?
May 6, 2012I'm sure I'm doing something wrong because I can't see how the problems I'm having with controls' appearance in Win7 can be normal. When "Enable XP visual styles" is enabled in my application, my progressbars never fill and gridlines don't show in Listviews. Disabling XP visual styles fixes those problems, but then everything looks like Win98 and that's no solution.

View 3 RepliesForce Visual Styles When Using .NET Forms Interop From VB6?
Jan 4, 2011I have created a VB.NET Class Library that exposes some COM Interop sub routines. These in turn show various forms that are contained within the Class Library. When the forms are shown from VB6 they do not inherit the visual styles of the operating system and act like VB6 controls.
I gather that this probably by design but is there some way to force/control visual styles manually in the .NET assembly? I would imagine that if I use a manifest in my VB6 app then everything will use the correct style but I would like to be able to control this myself if possible because we are using 3rd party controls in VB6 that do not require a manifest.
Turn Off Visual Styles For One Control/window?
May 26, 2009I've done much research in how to turn off visual styles for a custom drawn control, and coming only close on how to do this.
The problem I am seeing is that Application.EnableVisualStyles affects a boolean which tells the control how it should paint itself. I don't have a problem with styles being enabled, but rather getting a button to be drawn without using the visual styles rendering function.

#Region "Disable Themes"
[Code]....
Method 2 simply does not do anything, nor would I want to use it, since it calls unmanaged code.
Method 1 does the right thing for the button, disabling the theme, but of course it does way more than that causing the entire window/app to blink with/without visual styles. And even if this did work, I wouldn't use it because it effects the entire application.
We need visual styles enabled on progress bars, since marquee will be used on a few database calls.
The button has an image ontop of it which gets cut off by the visual styles rounded corners. And there are a few more controls which would be benificial to turn off visual styles as well.
If there is anyway to manipulate the ButtonRenderer so it does not render using visual styles, this is the solution I am looking for. Having no styling for any buttons is preferable.
This is for a project I am working on for my company. We have Visual Studio 2005 .NET Team Edition (per customer request), and are gold certified (which I don't want to give up community support/supporting the community, but is there any programming forums for us where our answers could be answered before 24 hours and/or the questions goes into consideration when microsoft develops tool?).
To me it seems silly to have Visual Styles enable-able for the whole application, when dealing with the windows api, individual windows/controls can easily be themed or unthemed.
Visual Basic PowerPacks Line Styles?
Apr 19, 2011When I draw a line on the form using Visual Basic Power Packs the ends of the line are squared off. Is there way to round them off? In code I could write something like this to do it:
vb.net
Dim pn As New Pen(Color.Black, 5)
pn.StartCap = Drawing2D.LineCap.Round
pn.EndCap = Drawing2D.LineCap.Round
How could I do it with Power Packs?
Creating An App Mainfest File For Comctl32 And Xp Visual Styles ?
Apr 19, 2011I am using VB.Net 2008. I am using a 3rd party dll in my app that requires xp visual styles to be turned off, or that a manifest file be added to my app to re-direct comctl32.dll (link to 3rd party workaround:[URL]
I tried creating the manifest according to: [URL] This did not change the issue. Perhaps I did not add the manifest properly?
Here are the steps I tried:
1. Add xml file to app and name it MyApp.exe.manifest
2. Add the xml file to my resources.
The above did nothing so I removed it and then:
3. Add xml file to app and name it Comctl32.dll.manifiest
4. Add the xml file to my resources.
That did nothing either.
Here is the manifiest I tried adding:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">

Dealing With Different Coding Conventions/Styles In Visual Studio?
Sep 1, 2010I'm working on two different projects - both in VB.NET/Visual Studio 2008 (as much as I'd like to move to 2010).
I find I'm confusing the different coding standards that I'm supposed to follow. IE - Project1 wants variables named in a Hungarian-style notation like 'iSomeValue'; the does not want a prefix. One project requires an _ prefix on private class-level variables - etc...etc...
Are there any tools I can integrate with VS 2008 that will let me easily swap between pre-defined styles and format my code for me?

Declare "custom Command" In Visual Basic 2010?
Jan 13, 2011I'd like to, let say "declare" my custom command, and what do I mean by command is something you type in the code, when for example you click a button. Just like Textbox (for example), my custom command sould have "underthings" in it, so just like I can type in Textbox1.Text. And that underthing (in this example, textbox is my custom command and .text is a sub/underthing) I can set if it is a boolean or string etc. I need this for my login program, where that custom command is an username (named username, what you can dim), and then it has sub things, like username1.email (string for e-mail text) and username1.password, username1.ismoderator (boolean, true or false). So an example, in my program I can do like this:
'Username is my custom command, just I don't know how to'define or declare it.'Username has here, to keep it simple, 2 sub things, it is'username.password and username.name Private Sub btn_registrate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_registrate.Click'When the button called registrate (make new username) is clicked Dim username1 As Username'(I don't know if it must be dim blabla as NEW or without new with'my custom command)username1.name = Textbox1.Text 'Textbox for username username1.password = Textbox2.Text 'Textbox for password
Change Button Styles/form Style To Classic Theme?
Apr 11, 2010Ok i am making a game in visual basic where its 1998 and you have windows 95 and you find time travel software and travel to different time periods with different operating systems...so far i have coded windows 95 and partly windows 98 into the game and have a good time travel sequence... (this will be a completely free game in the future)
Theres just one major problem i have. Whatever operating system you are using for your current computer (windows 7 in my case) the buttons and tabs and everything else (apart from the windows border... or whatever you all it which i made myself) everything has the modern buttons on it.Hes an in game screen shot :As you can see it looks totally horrible... even the start menu has the windows 7 blue glow effect...I recently found another application (universe Sandbox) and it has the classic buttons even though i am using windows 7.how can i actually make my buttons classic? (without making picture boxes of each button)
