I was wondering is there any option of using Stylesheets for .NET Windows controls ?If not, which is the best way to make the UI look consistent.I need to use VS 2005 to make the changes in the UI.

View 7 RepliesI have two DataGridView controls, with three buttons in between them vertically, in a VB 2005 form that need to be resized and moved around on a form resize.
The code below works, and does what I want. It takes the difference between the new size and the default size, splits the height difference between the two DataGridViews, and moves things around correctly.
What bugs me about it is that I've hard-coded the defaults into the ResizeEnd handler. How would I go about passing the default size so that I don't repeat myself?
Even better, is there a way to do it with anchoring, docking, and other stuff, so that I don't even need to write code?

i'm fairly knew to VB and was wondering if its useful to use infragistics windows form controls?
Read some good reviews and theres so much more that can be done with these controls.
Is there a way of creating a Vista/Windows7-like caption bar with controls just like in the windows explorer? The controls don't have to do anything, I would like to add my own functionality - I just wonder how I could make something like this? Does anyone know about a VB sample?

View 9 RepliesSupposedly I have a datatable containing 2 columns (controlname as string, containing the name of the control and controltype as string containing the type of the control), for example ("label1", "Label") On runtime i want to loop over the datatable and create the controls from that datatable and add them to the form accordingly. but the problem that i don't know how to convert the control name to a control type, meaning that i want to convert label1 to a type of control Label, inorder for me to set its properties on runtime. so how can i do this and is there a way to convert the string to control according to it controltype.
View 1 RepliesI have a form that with a list of text boxes. My target is simply binding these controls to an XML file so that whenever the file contents are changed externally, the text box values change dynamically. I will have an external application edit the XML file and overwrite the existing one.
View 4 RepliesI have a windows form that contains a panel (Hosting panel for X number of panels). The hosting panel AutoScroll property is set to true.I need to create X number of a panels each will have (Lable and three Radio buttons) at run time. The panel controls must be aligned.So I created a loop in my form load event to add the X number of the panels on the form. I used the location X and Y to position the controls on the form. The loop work fine until it reach the point where the controls host panel needs to enable Auto Scrolling which cause the added panels to be shifted to right. The shifting happened once the host panel auto scroll becomes enabled.

If there are 5 customers details then when i load the form it will add (PictureBox, Label and a listbox) for each customer dynamically and display them with their information.

This illustration shows how I'm trying to get 2 vb.net user controls into the toolbox to use on a c# form.

How do I do that? somehow the controls appeared in the Toolbox, but they're greyed out and unavailable.
View 3 RepliesSo I'm a bit new to the whole Vista/7 audio setup. My understanding is that a new "mixer" is created for each application.

I was looking at the Endpointvolume API however I cant get it to work for me :(. Does anyone have a vb.net demo of how to harness this API?

Ive had a look around and im a student and cant afford the typical 1000 dollar lisences?
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?

I am making a configuration screen so that an administrator can easily determine what controls on a form are enabled according to a combo selection.
I have created a table (SQL2008 DB) to store the settings and need ideas how I can best implement.
The session form will start up normal with only a few controls enabled to start, but then when the user selects a "session type" from a drop down combo then the form will be configured for that type. Because there may be several different combinations, and I do want to offer the user the ability to add and configure more types as needed I feel like this may be the best method instead of hard coding.
Table Structure
SessionType varchar(25) not null PK
ControlSwitch varchar(50) Not Null
(Edit: I may add an additional DB field so that I can specify the default value of a control also)
Now what I thought I would do on the config form is have a series of combo boxes and the label represent each control with a value of True or False, then when saved it builds a string like example 1,1,0,1,0,1,1,1 or True, True, False etc.
The string would represent
ctrl1=on, ctrl2=on,ctrl3=off,ctrl4=on,ctrl5=off,ctrl6=on,ctrl7=on,ctrl8=on and so on.
i have created a application that has a video using the windows media player.i was wondering if there is anyway of making all the controls invisible so you just see?
View 3 RepliesWith several forms of mine, I occasionally run into the following issue: I edit the form using the designer (Visual Studio 2008, Windows Forms, .NET 2.0, VB.NET) to add components, only to find out later that some minor adjustments were made (e.g. the form's size is suddenly changed by a few pixels), and controls get deleted. This happens silently — event-handling methods automatically have their Handles suffix removed, too, so they never get called, and there's no compiler error. I only notice much later or not at all, because I'm working on a different area in the form.
As an example, I have a form with a SplitContainer containing an Infragistics UltraListView to the left, and an UltraTabControl to the right. I added a new tab, and controls within, and they worked fine. I later on found out that the list view's scrollbar was suddenly invisible, due to its size being off, and at least one control was removed from a different tab that I hadn't been working on.
Is this a known issue with the WinForms Designer, or with Infragistics? I use version control, of course, so I can compare the changes and merge the deleted code back in, but it's a tedious process that shouldn't be necessary. Are there ways to avoid this? Is there a good reason for this to occur?
One clue is that the control that was removed may have code (such as a Load event handler) that expects to be run in run time, not design time, and may be throwing an exception. Could this cause Visual Studio to remove the control?
Is there a way to access WMP10+'s playback speed controls in a dotnet app?

In my program, I created a list of a class that contains 5 picture boxes, a button, a label, an identifier, and some other stuff. I've got roughly 65 of these in this list. I'd be stupid to hard code all that in. The identifier is a 2nd way of identifying which specific location I'm working on.
Anways, all this is created at compile time. Works perfectly fine.
I then manually start a background worker that pings a collection of components. Based off the success of those pings, the picture boxes are enabled or disabled. Basically a proactive way to see if a collection of devices over multiple locations are actually working.
It's the background worker that fails because of thread-safe calls.
