I'm adding labels at runtime to my form with a tag. Let's say I have 3 labels with the tags, "1", "2" and "3". I'm adding the tags by counting the labels + 1. When I remove a label with tag "2" from the form there are only 2 left. When I add a new label it will add a new tag "3", but that one already exist. So my "solution" isn't a very good one Although tag "2" is free, I want to give it "4". Any thoughts on how to code this properly?
View 2 RepliesI have made a custom component (button based) and was wondering how to add a custom icon to it as well as a custom description I've seen 3rd party components that got special icons as well as a custom description
And actually got a second question How to add description to functions I create myself? You know... in code when you start typing and a function shows up, if you let the mouse over it,
I am wondering if I can extend a component (e.g a button ) in vb the same way I can in java which enables you to modify the component for your specific requirement or create a new one from scratch.

View 3 RepliesIm currently developing a custom logging component, that we will deploy with all our applications, windows services, webapps, windows apps etc. I have a few questions of various nature. The component is a single signed dll file:
1) Which is the "safest" way to get the current directory? For example, in the config file, in the config section I have a property "logpath". The application will read this and write a log file depending in what they write:
c:myapplog (it will write a log here, create whatever folders it need) /Log (directly under the installed app directory, like c:program filesmyappLog) Log (same as above) I need something that work with both windows and web apps, for webapps it will log under the virtual directory of the aspnet app.
2) For exception handling, if nothing special is happening, like in the DAL, I get a sql server exception, is there any point in using

I've added a windows media player component to a windows form. Each time a richtextbox updates, I have the component play a sound using the code:
wmp.URL = "C:UsersJesseDesktopelectronicblip06.wav"
This works because autostart is enabled. My question is, how do I use the "correct" code to just play the wav file instead of loading it each time in order to increase performance. i.e., what is the play command.
I recently downloaded VB 2010 Express so i am quite new to the language, but i have worked with dark basic, which seems to b very similar.Anyway, my problem is that i cannot seem to correctly set out my array of a custom type/class. i am trying to create two arrays, one of available entities and another of selected entities of which the user selects the entities to be dealt with in irrelevant ways. i have creates a button (called test) which adds some entities to the available list and all the entities come back the same value but they shouldnt be as you'll c in the code. i have run the step into command a found that "available.item(#).Name = " will change all of the entity's names.As of current i am working with lists as the array kept asking for a 'new' statement but i couldnt figure out where to put it.[code]

Is it possible to have a custom control (inherits from Control) and add sub-controls to it (like, a label for example)? Basically I want a composite control. I know controls can contain other controls, but if I try to add a control to MyBase.Controls, this doesn't work because that's readonly.

View 1 RepliesVB 2010, Trying add custom colors to a dialog box, save and reload on opening. The "add custom color button" just adds it to the boxes on the left and does not save it for future use. If the user select that color having added it the left you can then get the integer value and add it to the code
ColorDialog1.CustomColors =
New
Integer
() {CustCol1, 16646145, 16580610, 16645891, 16711426, 65536, 6699546}
And save for displaying next time. but it does not return the same color.
Why does it return a different color, it displays the correct color when used at the time of saving? Is there no way of saving all the custom colors, if a user puts several in the boxes on the left? You have to make sure you select Basic color first otherwise it changes existing custom color or if you select a blank box you cannot select anything.
When custom colors are added via code as above it goes along the top row first but when you click the "Add custom color button" it adds the first color to first position of the top row and the next to the first position of the bottom row.

[Code] I have a panel as the base of my custom control and I am adding other panels to it, along with a flow layout panel(myInnerContainer). I know the code above isn't going to work because when I try to add the regular panels to the main control, they will attempt to be added to the flow layout panel myInnerContainer, and cause a circular error. [Code] but intellisense doesn't display anything which leads me in the correct direction for adding only the buttons to the flow layout panel (myInnerContainer).

Details of what Im trying to achieve.
My object is Fixture which represents a light. My light has the following properties:
Name, isMover, HighlightValue, UserNumber, Channels.
Channels is a dynamic arraylist which lists all the different channels of the fixture. A channel could be the lights colour or its intensity. A channel has the following properties:
Type, FeatureGroup, Value, Universe, Address, Slots and Offset.
Slots is the same again, breaking down to another ArrayList with more details.

I created some custom controls which I use quite often and I thought if I add them once to my ToolBox they just will be there next time I start up VS2008; however, that does not seem to be the case! Each time I start VS2008 I have to re-add that controls (which is quite annoying!). Is there a trick / way of having them there permanently?

Adding custom buttons to a visual basic form
View 6 RepliesIs it possible to add custom command in a shortcut (.lnk) menu (right button) through .net? How can i add the command and executed that command.?
View 4 RepliesI am fooling around with VB for a while now and it is not the first time I created custom controls to use in an application. The situation: I have a database application (FormView / not GridView). The form is designed the following way: At the left I have a Panel1 with TextBoxes and other controls to view / edit dataset records. At the right I have a Panel2 which contains on default a custom control (a number of PictureBoxes mainly) to view / add / delete pictures associated with the currently viewed data record.
On a ButtonClick at a special button on the ToolStrip, I would like to replace that custom control in Panel2 with another custom control (which contains a search with different search possibilities), so, I basically throw out the PictureControl and load a SearchControl instead. This is the first time where I actually designed the custom controls within the actual project. In past, I always developed the custom controls seperately in a new project and later imported the dll. However, my first attempt just does not work and I don't even know where I should start troubleshooting since I don't get any errors.

I have seen that BindableAttribute is used to decorate public properties in custom controls. MSDN briefly mentions that it provides the ability to control the binding direction and whether binding is supported at design time.
public class MyControl : Panel
{
[Bindable(BindableSupport.No, BindingDirection.OneWay)]
public string MyString { get; set; }
[code]....
1) I set BindableSupport to No, however I could still do this in markup (.aspx).What does BindableSupport affect then? Does it hide the property in the toolbox?
<cc:MyControl runat="server" MyString="something" />
2) How does one-way binding and two-way binding work in the context of custom controls and ASP.NET?
There is a response to this question using C# - I am looking for a VB answer and the C# code is too deep for me. I have a custom user control and I have a toolstrip on it.

I can open the collections editor in design time, but I cannot edit the collection.
View 1 RepliesI found a custom ListBox that, strangely doesn't have an InsertAt method and I would like to add one. The custom ListBox uses an object instead of just a list of strings like a normal ListBox. I was curious what the logic behind inserting a new item at a particular index would be.The only thing I could come up with was add the new ListBoxItem at the end, then using the specified index, I could either keep moving ListBoxItem objects to the bottom, with the Add() method, from that index till the ListBoxItem at that index equals the one added, or I could use that index number in a "calculation" till I know I've moved the correct number of objects.
