I'm working on a VB.NET application using VS2010 for an application that will run on a touch-screen. I have a problem with a mutli-line text boxes, ListBoxes and DataGridView controls which contains a vertical scroll bar. The scroll bar is too small for anyone with big fingers. Is there any way to make that scroll bar wider so that it's more "finger friendly"?
View 6 Repliesis it possible to change the width of the vertical scrollbar in a listview .When the scrollbar width is bigger, its easier to operate by hand on a touch screen.
View 1 RepliesSo with the stock Textbox, I set the Scrollbars property to Vertical. This is great if the text in my box never changes; I can scroll up and down while the box sits still. If I'm running a background operation that logs output to the box though, the scrollbar resets itself to the top every time I append text to the box.
I know I can set the Textbox.Selection property (or use the Select method) to reposition the carat in the textbox, make note of that position in a variable, then append text, reset the carat, and use the ScrollToCarat method to reposition the scrollbar where it belongs. That's a really (ridiculously) long way around. Anybody know if there's another/better way of holding the scrollbar position, short of actually building a custom control (or using a Textbox and a separate Scrollbar)? It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario, you'll learn from it.
Is it possible to change the width of a line series with the chart bundled in .net 4?
View 3 RepliesMy problem is that I built this program for my VB class, but I built it on my desktop at home which is a 23" monitor. When this is opened on a smaller screen, you dont get to see all of the project. I want to add a vertical scroll bar but that is beyond what I have been taught and beyond what my book teaches...
how to get a vertical scroll bar to scroll the whole form?
I have a TOS agreement that i would like my user to have to view ...
basically the same way "World Of Warcraft" does it ...
You must scroll to the bottom for the accept button to be enabled and clickable...
but in vb.net i cant seem to find a way to determine the vertical scrollbar postition .
The scroll bars actually move now, They just move the wrong thing. When I click the Horizontal bar it moves the picture box to the left part of the screen and I can scroll the box back and forth. If I click the Vertical Bar it goes up to the top and I can move it up and down. So if I click both of them, the picture box goes to (0,0) of the form. It wont move the image inside. I can't figure out how to assign the scrollbars to the image instead of the picturebox.
Try making a form with a Picturebox, Vertical Scrollbar and Horizontal Scrollbar in it and rename all your stuff the way I got mine:
Horizontal Scrollbar = hsbPicMap
Vertical Scrollbar = vsbPicMap
Picturebox = picMap
Set the image property in the properties box to whatever you want. Try to make the picturebox of fairly big size. Mine is set to 656, 528 in pixels, and the location is 152, 72 on the form. The image I am using is about 1500, 1200. The bars are on the right side and the bottom of the picturebox.
Code:
Public Class frmMap
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Private Sub HSBpicMap_Scroll(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ScrollEventArgs) Handles hsbPicMap.Scroll
picMap.Left = -hsbPicMap.Value

View 2 RepliesI have a TextBox control with a lot of text which has a vertical scrollbar, and every time I hide/show the control the position of the scrollbar stays the same.

View 1 RepliesI faced a problem that the vertical scrollbar of datagridview will be un-functional.Here are the steps to rebuild the problem:
1. Add a new datagridview component.
2. Add a new timer to set the datasource of datagridview at a regular time. For example, I add following code on the Timer1.Tick event:
Dim v_connDB As New Odbc.OdbcConnection
Dim v_daCA2 As New Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter
Dim v_dsCA2 As New Data.DataSet
[code]....
3. Then I press the down arraw key on the vertical scrollbar with mouse while the datagridview re-bind its datasource, the vertical scrollbar will be un-functional. And the action will be changed to be re-size the datagridview will I press the vertical scrollbar position.So, is it the bug of datagridview? How can I fix it?

View 7 Repliesa user copies multiple lines of text (say, from an email) into the clipboard. Based on my observations, when one tries to paste the text into a single-line textbox, only the first line is actually pasted in. (I am aware that the "obvious" solution would be to set the Multiline property to True, but there are reasons I am looking to avoid this and to put multi-line data into a single line.)
In the TextChanged event handler, I wrote code that parses the clipboard data to successfully convert it to a single-line, comma-delimited format.

View 1 RepliesI'm having a problem assigning the arrow keys to the right scrolling events.I have a VScrollbar and an HScrollbar. I want the left / right arrow keys to scroll the horizontal bar, and the up / down arrow keys to scroll the vertical bar. The default behaviour seems to be that the first created of the two (VScrollBar or HScrollbar, depending on order of creation) received all arrow key events as a Scroll event. So when I push up / down / left / right, it is my VScrollbar that moves (HScrollbar might move also with the left / right arrow keys, I don't remember). I tried catching the KeyDown event on my form, to manage the left / right / up / down keys myself, but apparently the Scroll events are triggered first...In any case, what would be the "right" way to use a vertical and horizontal scrollbar and have the arrow keys do what they're supposed to do in VB. NET?

View 9 RepliesI have a load of information on my label in a groupbox on the form there is too much information to be seen in one go so i want to use a vertical scrollbar to move the label up and down inside the groupbox so it can be read.
The issue i'm having is:
1: The label covers the bottom edge of the groupbox (looks a little naff) i need it to fall inside the groupbox if possible.
2: Any movement on the vertical scrollbar seems to send the label in one direction only - so how do i work it so that up moves it up and down moves it down?
Should i use a multiline textbox rather than a label and move the carat?
I need to set the background color of a label based on the value of a vertical scrollbar. i.e, if the user click the vScrollBar the background color of label must change like from 0 to 255.if it reaches to 255 again initialise to 0. I tried color.FromARGB function but it is not working.

I have been working on a much larger project and came to a point where I decided threading should be used.It seems in previous version of .Net, a background worker was able to update controls that were were not created on that thread.

This code appears to be updating the listbox.I can see the vertical scrollbar getting smaller, but no data is shown in the listbox. The progressbar is also updating properly while that is working, indicating proper background operation.But what it's not doing is this:
1. Label is not updating percentage
2. The form is not free to be used by the user (me)

View 4 RepliesI am using VB Express 2005. I am helping a friend with uni assignment, and I want to be able to change the width of a text box for whatever value the user desires. SO I tried using another text box as input
eg
txtWidth.Text = txtBox.Width
(error)
Then made a label and tried
txtWidth.Text = lblWidth.Text
lblWidth.Text = txtBox.Width
It ran but always set the lbl to its original size, so that no matter what I inputted it set it to 143 (thats the size I made it originally). Keeping in my this is on Button click.
I have a drawing program written in VB6 that is capable of printing very thin lines to a laser printer. In VB .net, even though the pen width is set to 1, the thinnest lines are way too "thick". The equivalent line width in VB .net using a pen width of 1 is about the same as the DrawWidth = 4 in VB6. So, my question is, how can I print very thin lines to a laser printer in VB .net?

View 1 RepliesI am using VB.net 2010 and SQL client server.I have to make a Weekly Report Manager that stores an Trainees' weekly activity, which would probably be in a paragraph form.I think I can use Textbox (multilined) or Richtextbox for this.But When I tried to store and read the stored data it is not multilined.
Example:
INPUT in textbox/richtextbox: I am a good trainee inserted it in database as textbox.text or richtextbox.text and the result will be:

So if I retrieve the data it displays a single lined text.How can I do it properly?
