Feb 26, 2011
How to change all properties of a form to properties of other but don't change important properties like Owner,Handle, OwnedForms, Parent,HasChildren,Controls and ... .I have a child form that i want it to provide controls of Form.The background form provides Aero frame and child form is a transparent form in it.I want it because I want to draw buttons with system style in Aero in Windows Forms.This is my own code but it does not work good (ForeForm is child form):
For Each Propertry In ForeForm.GetType.GetProperties()
Select Case Propertry.Name
Case "AeroBackgroundEnabled", "FormBorderStyle", "TransparencyKey", "Parent", "Owner", "ShowInTaskbar", "Handle", "HasChildren", "OwnedFo[code].....
Additionaly:I wrote a great Aero Form.I don't publish current version (1.2) that supports Aero Blur,RealTime Aero Color change,extend Basic theme?
I have created a user control with some properties but when I change them in a form and build the return to the default value, Here is the code I did: Public Property ButtonFind As Boolean Get Return CmdFind.Visible End Get Set(ByVal value As Boolean) CmdFind.Visible = value End Set End Property
I renamed my project by creating an new project folder, copy/pasting the old project files into it and renaming those files. This works good, but now all of the message boxes that come up still display the original project name. How can I edit the text in the message box "header" and make it say something else?
I am filling a form with values from a class, which is working fine. But now I want to take the changed values in the text box and modify the class. For some reason I have not been able to get the syntax.
I use the following code to create a Label in the status strip when a child window is open.Public Sub StatusStripPanelAdd(ByVal lCount As Integer, ByVal sImage As System.Drawing.Image, ByRef sText As String, ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
I must have done something really, really dumb somewhere, but I don't know if I did a really, really dumb VB.Net thing or a really, really dumb Framework thing.I have a dirt simple UserControl - it consists of one Button. Nothing more.
In my project, I am trying to change the visible property of my various pictureboxes using a for - next statement. My aim is to get the value of my numericupdown1 control and use this number to make the pictureboxes visible. For example, if this number is 8, the picturebox1, picturebox2, .......8 will be visible. Here is the code I wrote:
I have this code which should change a password field into a text field in a webbrowser so that a user can see it:[code]Can anyone find a reason why this is not working, or find a better code to do it?
Is it possible to change the default properties for different objects in the VB6 IDE (I'm sure any version would be similar, but this is the one we are currently using in my programming class in school). For example, is there anyway that automatically, when I create a Label, that it could already have AutoSize set to false, and BorderStyle to Fixed3D, etc.? I feel as if it would work greatly with the amount of time taken to layout my programs.
On my seat plan system, there are many workstations(around 150+ per floor). each workstation is define by a linklabel. when a user click on a particular workstation, a new form will appear. And that form will pop up to show who occupy on that workstation.And here is my problem,. On my form where I have many linklabels.. I also have a textbox to search for a particular linklabel name,.And if I the user enter the name of the workstation name..the linklabel will change it's background color.
I'm making a control and I am trying to finalize my design time properties grid. I have several List(of Class) items as public properties and when I click on the design time menu (while testing the control) there is the word "Collection" and a button with an ellipsis (...) that brings up a neat pop up with the buttons Add/remove and all of the public properties of the collection's class on the right hand side. Basically for a non-collection instance of a class (with public properties) I'd like a similar button to show up. I know I could put all of the properties in the main control class and group them, but I like the pop up box feature. Anyway to duplicate this? (think font grid item etc.)
In the form design I set up a TableLayoutPanel, 20x20 cells and in cell (1,1) a PictureBox (called Target) containing the image of a small target. The properties box for Target shows some very promising properties, Column and Row - and if you overwrite the values in the properties box, the PictureBox obligingly shifts to the corresponding cell position in th design. However in VB it is not possible to refer to Me.Target.Row or .Column - neither appears during coding in the menu of properties, and deliberately coding either of them produces an error like
Error 1 'row' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox'.
1. Why does the properties box show properties that cannot be altered programmatically?
2. How can my program move Target around in the TableLayoutPanel?
I have a dynamic gridview, about 35 rows by 11 columns. When the user hovers over a row, I highlight the row's background in green (with CSS:Hover). I would like to change the column's background as well, but I don't think I can assign css to a entire column. How can I accomplish this?
I'm trying to update a dependancy property in VB.Net 4.0 inside of an Async callback. I feel like I am doing this correctly but I'm still getting the "The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it." error. Does someone see a better way of using delegates in VB.Net 4.0?
Private WithEvents myObj as CallingObject Private Delegate Sub MyErrorDel(ByVal strError as string) Public Property ErrorMessage As String
[code]....
Whenever ErrorMessage gets set inside of DisplayError an exception gets thrown, even though I am using the dispatcher to call DisplayError.
I am looking for some code that will allow me to set field properties of fields in a table I have just created in code using vb.net (2005). I have seen a number of articles to do this in vb6 but not vb.net.
In asp.net 3.5, I am using a login control which has an id. When i set the id's font to bold, it sets all the fields to bold. for eg., the login control has "Username", "Password" & "Remember Me" and i want to set only the username & password fields bold and leave the remember field to normal.
I create an Access database in runtime, but when want to change the column properties I can't,the IDE tooltip say: "Property 'Item'is'ReadOnly'".I have a VB6 application with an Access 2003 database and not have any problem to manipulate to many properties like OrdinalPosition, ValidationText and others.
I want to make a lotto bulletin and i created the buttons in the program. I have assigned a handler to it and that is working also but how can i change the background of this button later on in the program ?
'/ teken 10 groupboxen For i = 0 To 1 For y = 0 To 5
I have a sub that handles when 14 ComboBoxes have their Index changed. I am able to cast the sender of the event, and obtain properties from there. However, after that, I want to be able to change the properties of the actual sender, rather than the cast one.[code]...
I need a few columns in my datagridview to have the font be aligned to the right, but no matter what code I use it doesnt work.
I would also like my columns with numbers to always have 2 decimals.
And lastly I would like the right side of the column header to be blank and not movable. I can do this by adding another column to my table with a blank name and then set the width to fill, but the problem is I can just move this around, which is not good, I want to freeze it so it looks good. I do want to be able to move around on the other columns, just not this one. Unless there is another way to do that?
First of all sorry for any grammar mistakes, english isn't my native language.I need to cycle through all the elements in my panel (full of "ImageBox") and change their images.
My code so far:I declare an array with my objects.
I have created a user control and need to know how I can let the user change some of the properties of this control at runtime and have the values persist on next startup. There are multiple instances of this control on the form.
In vb.net 2005 how would one referance a control as variable and change it"s properties. Such as in control X visible = True. Tryed string manipulations that did't work.
i've written an app to enumerate forms + controls in a project at runtime:
it lists form names in a listbox + when a control is selected, it lists hierarchical controls in a treeview. by selecting a control in the treeview you can view its properties in a propertygrid.
here's the problem: how can i use the propertygrid to actually persistently change those properties?
at the moment you can change properties in the propertygrid but it doesn't change the control's properties, either persistently or otherwise.
here's the code. (you can download the full project at: [URL]
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load ListBox1.Items.AddRange((From t As Type In Me.GetType().Assembly.GetTypes() _ Where t.BaseType Is GetType(Form) _
how to invoke methods, but how does one change a simple property?
For demonstration-sake, here's a very simple set of code that should help. Let's say I need to set the visible property from a child form, and thus, it needs to be invoked:
Friend Sub activateItem(ByVal myItem As PictureBox) If myItem.InvokeRequired = True Then ????
Is there something wrong with the progressbar control? I can�t seem to change some simple properties, like the background color. It still looks like it always did. White with gradient "squares". I would like to change the background color.
