View 16 RepliesI'm using VB 2005 .NET and I wanted to make my applications look better.I found lots and lots of applications for win XP that look like Vista.For example like Windows Live Messenger.
View 4 Repliesmy application has "picked up" the old style button design. In Vista the buttons have a slight shadow / 3d effect, however, my application appears not be using the default style and instead applying the older XP, Win98 typ appearance. At first it didnt bother me, however, not its annoying and rather than rip all my code out and apply it to a new project, i would prefer to remove the offending code call.
Its a long shot, but i thought i would see if anyone here knew what might be causing it?
I see many programs using a menu strip similar to the folowing: My grey menu style just looks ugly... I guess I should not use the image as background, because XP has other style menustrips, so it must be some sort of menu strip. How can I make a menustrip with that style?

I am been working on an a small app that has a Forms.Webbrowser control that navigates to a Adobe Flash program. I have developed the app on Vista 32bit platform and have had no problems. I have sent the app to a couple of people to test out and one is using Vista 64bit and is running into a problem. I know the webbrowser control just uses the underlying base framework of IE. The problem on the 64 bit machine is when the site is navigated to it says that it needs to have Flash installed. When the user goes to Adobe's site it says they need to use a 32bit browser.
As stated on Adobe site here:[URL] the Flash player need to be in a 32 bit browser. What options do I have to be able fix this problem? Is there another control that I can use that would be the same in a 32bit platform and 64bit platform? Besides navigating to the Flash program, the browser also goes to standard web pages.
I am trying to make a style that only gets applied if the parent element of the element that the style refers to, has another specific style. Kind of like in CSS where you can do ".class1 .class2" to specify that the "class2" theme only applies if it is within an element with the class "class1". I do not wish to use any form of external DLLs or libraries for this task. I want to know if it's possible to implement on my own.
I've tried using MultiTriggers with no luck. I have a style that applies to all TextBlocks. I want the textblock to do the following: If the font-size of the textblock is 11 and the parent element's style is "PinnedSuggestion", set the foreground color to "#FF505050". If the font-size of the textblock is 11 and the parent element's style is "Suggestion", set the foreground color to "#FFCCCCCC". The conditions that I have tried to write to make this work, are as follows (the font-size condition is true, but the other one is not). The conditions are inside a style that applies to all textblocks in general.

I am creating an application and am very new to VB. I have 4 buttons on my form which is like my applications main menu. I would like that each of the buttons behaves in the following way when there is a mouse rollover: The Button back color is changed from the default to Red The Button text is changed to Blue, Bold, and increases in font size I would also like all the buttons to go back to their initial state when the mouse leaves.
Another thing, instead of me writing code for each of the buttons event handlers (Mouse Hovers, and Mouse Leaves) is there a way I can write this code once, maybe as a function and then always call it for any button that I create from here on so that any new buttons take on this behaviour.
how to get the current Style of the Windows Xp programmatically. At the program startup I need to get if Windows is running in XP Style or in Windows Classic Style, so I will set my buttons Flatstyle property to flat or standard.

View 7 Repliesknow the millisecond interval, used by the framework trackbar, between calling the ValueChanged event when moving the grip with a mouse?I've implemented my own trackbar and I'd like the behaviour to be consistent with what the user expects.I've had a look in reflector but it's one of those controls where most of the implementation is not viewable.
ETA: Actually, thinking about it, it's not as simple as that. For small changes, the TrackBar is raising the event for every change. However, if you make a large fast change with the grip, it will not raise the event for every step. Just wondering exactly how the framework does this?

I'm using Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express and I've been trying to make an application, a word processor, which has it's own custom tabs, I'm not making a new control, instead using a trackbar and adding richtextboxes to a panel for add tab and removing them for remove tab. and when the user changes the value of the trackbar, the richtextboxes too get changed by using the bringtofront property of the richtextbox with the index that is the same as the trackbar value. basically, as you drag the trackbar, the rtbs should get changed here is the code: the following is for a timer that keeps updating the number of rtbs, etc. [Code]

View 1 Repliesi am currently devloping a set of fully GDI written controls, just 4 fun and to improve my GDI skills Anyway, my problem is as simple as that i don't get a trackbar to show the correct value when i scroll it..Heres a picture of my form:As you can se, i got a box on each side of the trackbar which is currently showing 1 and 10. To calculate the value i first have to multiply the current location of the trackbutton with 100 and dividy it with the width of the trackline and then dividy it width the maximum value - the minimum value, right? But i just can't get it to work, i am only 15 years old and math is just not my strongest side.. yet..W1 and W2 is the size of the boxes + the space between them and the trackline.
Dim W As Integer = Width
Dim W1 As Integer = S1.Width + 10
Dim W2 As Integer = S2.Width + 10

I have a trackbar in my application where somebody can zoom in and out from a picture.

''Dim scalefactor As SizeF

i would like to allow the user to play around with the size of the trackbar in vb.net. is there an easy way to do this?
