I need to make a custom control and decided, before that, to see if there were any additional components that I could utilize.When looking through the list, I found a component called an Expander. So I decided to add it and see how it works.
After adding it, I couldn't find it at all within the toolbox. I went back to Choose Items and it was checked, but still not in the toolbox.It's probably important to note that it is a WPF component and this is not a WPF Project. Would that make a difference?Is there something else I may be doing wrong?
I am trying to add shape per user's selection...
if (chosen circle)
use microsoft powerpack ovalshape and all its properties
if (chosen rectangle)
use microsoft powerpack rectangleshape and all its properties
I have installed the Visual Basic PowerPacks V2.0. How do I add this powerpack component to my VB2005 code to use oval or rectangle shape properties?
So i am having a bit of a problem.. What i want is for my application to show the panel in the from to display a windows explorer selection.. Look here
You see the panel 2 in here... Well the panel 2 needs to display this...
Is this possible you know like with a library or an extension or something.. Or do i need to make my own System for viewing files..???
I am writing a simple password self service app that allows users to change their password and unlock their accounts. My last step is to figure out how to get it on the login screen. Basically so users can run it before logging in (necessary because this
is to help if their passwod is lost or account disabled). I've seen screenshots of commercial apps putting it on this screen and/or the actual login box (like in XP) but I cant find any information on how to do this.

View 2 RepliesAt my workplace, we're having troubles with Windows 7. Folders that are supposed to be in the libraries (e.g. Documents Library) aren't appearing. While we sort the issue out via Group Policy, I'd like a "DIY fix" that people can run and keep working instead of flooding IT support with requests. From snooping around, I've found that the folders are stored in an XML file here:
[Code]...
I can edit it by hand or programatically, but there is a node called <serialized> which is a long string of alphanumeric characters. It's not necessary (I can manually add folders without this and it works fine) but I was thinking there must be a better way to go about this, so my question is:
Is there a VB.NET function or class that lets me add and query folders in the library without manually creating the XML and inserting it myself? I'm happy to do it myself, but if there is a better way to go about it, I'm all for it!
I have a small project that may be a big one - I'm really not sure. I want to add some right-click options in windows to certain file types. I don't want to change the default program for these file type - I just want to add some right-click options.
For example - I have a program that will convert .3GP movies to Quicktime movies. I do not want to change the default player for .3gp movies - I want user to be able to right-click on the movie and offer them an option to convert it to Quicktime.
This sounds like a dumb question, but I'm using VS 2010 Express edition and cannot find where to add a new Windows form. The templates provided don't indicate a Windows form . Are they called something different in this version of VS?
View 8 RepliesI've written a little application that uploads selected files to my ftp server. What I want to do now, is add that application to the windows right click context. For example, I've installed anti virus, if i right click on my desktop there is a there is a new item within the right click list which lets my right click on files and scans. What I want to know is, how to I add my application into the right click menu, how to get my application to respond when I click on the entry in the right click menu and any other thing anyone thinks will be useful. I have never done this before, and I have never been taught in class.
View 1 RepliesThe following website appears to show you you might do Drag/Drop that works like explorer does but I don't know what the code would be in VB, what exactly i'd need or anything else. It's a quite large code base just to make it so you get the same effect as explorer even though it seems to be API's or .dll's that should handle most of the work.
If the API's & .dll's available for this don't handle most of it I don't see why not because well if your meant to get the same effect why is it going to be handled mostly by code? I would think it would be as easy as passing an image or file/folder as string & then there the image is & possibly the functions you want to be allowed or text to be displayed for the drag action & then a little more to determine where your trying to drag to so what the text should be changing to.
Anyways heres the website which has a lot of the information/code in non-vb language, even when translated to VB using online tools I couldn't figure out what did what or what pieces I needed to get a basic drag action to work that has said visual information like explorer does.[URL]..

View 3 RepliesI have been building a Web Application (ASP.NET, .NET Framework 4, VB, visual studio 2010). To be very brief the application interacts with a database and performs several actions (Insert Delete Select etc..).I am using several Gridviews, ListBoxes etc and I am not happy with the presentation outcome and the functionality provided by asp.net. In simple words my application looks bad, outdated and unprofessional.I figured that using Windows Forms that will be incorporated to the ASP ap.I have created a Windows Form Control Library to use the dll created in my app as a user control. I found out that this is not supported in .NET Framework 4 (is this true? or am i doing something wrong?). Is there any way to make my application have the 'look and feel' of a windows application? Please note that it is has to be a web app and the clients should not have to download any other application to interact with the server.

View 7 RepliesI'm using windows form (vb2010) for data entry.. so now I want to add a combo box into my windows form using sql code because all my connection & Inserting records in SQL command. And other important matter is the combo box should connect to my SQL Server database Table.

This illustration shows how I'm trying to get 2 vb.net user controls into the toolbox to use on a c# form. In toolbox Select Items I see the items checked but clicking OK or Reset doesn't make them appear in the toolbox. How do I do that? somehow the controls appeared in the Toolbox, but they're greyed out and unavailable.

View 4 RepliesI'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 could review that could help me create a designer view (actually similar to how Visual Studio works but more basic), I would like to be able to add controls dynamically (just panels or images), then move those around individually(drag and drop), then count them all and get an array of what I have added..[code]But I would like to get an idea how it looks if things get more complicated..I wonder, are we able to use the classes of Visual Studio's editor in some way? Or are there .NEt classses that can do this?

My problem is that I am creating system tools for windows with a good gui and I don't know how to start with it. One of my difficulties is making code for calling any window tools for example, defragment.msc, backup, system restore, registry editor(I knew there's already a thread in here but it is closed).In short, I will create a "Utility tools ALL IN ONE" for my project somewhat like a registry cleaner or advance system optimizer and the likes.
