I've been kinda stuck on a problem where I have to make Conway's game of life, simply stated I need to check all panels directly around* another panel is there a way to do this easily, other than using a billion if's in the program. Tab index? I could switch to button's if I wanted to but at that same time I find panels to be simpler for stuff like this unless anyone has a different opinion.

I have 2 panels on the form butttt for panel one i want to slide height and panel 2 i want it to slide width.
how to show a panel on top of other panels ?
That means , when a panel(panel1) is in top of another panel(panel2) , when i click the background panel(panel2) will be shown in top of the panel that was in top(panel1)...
i have 2 panels , one next to other and one picture , when i have the mouse in front of the picture i hover another panel to show , it has a lil bigger width than the panel 1 and that doesnt allow it to show fully.
View 16 RepliesI want to be able to iterate through a set of panels and set their background color but ive used the [code]...
The error i get is "Panel is a type and cannot be used as an expression"
status control is another panel with houses the smaller panels, makes it easier to hide the lot when needed.
well, the title says iti got panels which keep other panels as memberseven if i drag the panels out of the panel..how can i make every panel "standalone"?
View 1 RepliesI have two panels, and I want them to both scroll horizontally with one scroll bar, but I only want one of them to scroll vertically. So if I have a large panel on autoscroll, it works fine for that panel, but I have another smaller panel above that, could I make the smaller panel scroll horizontally with the larger panel's horizontal scrollbar?
View 2 Repliesuse regular panels in a collapsible panel? Mine seem to be disappearing at runtime...
View 1 RepliesI'm from denmark and hope I can explain my question for you. This is just a example: I have a panel, let's say panel1 and another panel on that panel (panel2) and so on until for example panel5 - on panel5 I have a button (button1). Now I would like to change button1's backcolor property through code how do I then get access to button1, now it's a child-control on panel5 that is a child control on panel4 etc. ??
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make custom ListBox with some graphics. Base is ItemCollection - each item contains Panel, 2x label and 2x picturebox. What each panel have to do:
- Change backcolor on MouseEnter and set color back when MouseLeave occurs.
- On MouseDown(LMB) - Panel stays "selected" - different color.
Problem: I can't access multiple panels at a time(and I need to), just one via sender as in function. Of course, I can do it hacky way, but I want to do it effective and regular. Is ItemCollection the right solution or should I do it just like an array of panels? Also I want them in one "box", ItemCollection is good for it.
Second "problem": I need to make labels "merged" in panels, when i MouseEnter them(labels), background color on that panel sets to my default color. when i MouseClick them(labels), nothing happens (need to "select" parent panel). It can be again fixed with hacky way, just disable labels - but then the colors of labels are unchangeable.
I need to center the red panel in the middle of the dark grey panel, when you resize the form the red panel should be in the middle, and the red panel can't be resize, anyone have a code or property to do this?
View 2 RepliesI would like to add an effect where a panel sweeps out of the way to make room for another panel. This is sort of like a sliding effect, and I think at one point in time this could be seen on Apple's website under their product pages. I came up with some code, but it isn't working.
[Code]...
When a user is editing a given piece of data, they're allowed to add messages/comments. These are stored as child records in a SQL database. Clicking on the Add Message button brings up a panel (pnlMessage) courtesy of the AJAX ModalPopup Extender. This takes some input and, when the "Send Message" button in the panel is clicked (I learned the hard way to NOT make that the 'OkButton' property), the message is stored in the database and an email is sent to the intended recipients. No problem there.
However, I need to be able to allow the user to add new email addresses (so long as they are registered in our database). I have another ModalPopup / panel combo (pnlSearch) that's tied to a button on the previous panel (pnlMessage).
The user is supposed to be able to add an email or click on a search button to populate a list to choose from.
The pop-up panel (pnlSearch) comes up just fine, but clicking the "Lookup" button (which instigates the search and returns a collection of records that the user is supposed to pick from) closes the panel.
Previously, I ran into the problem of having the Button.Click event never firing when I put the Button into the "OkControlID" property (the CancelControlID works fine since I don't want to do anything). Removing the "OkControlID=Button" line allowed it to work perfectly with the Button.Click event firing as expected.
So now I have the Search panel with a button for "OK" and a button for "Search" - but the panel should stay up and visible after the Search.Click does it's thing. Am I missing some property that basically says "don't close the panel when this button is clicked"? Of course, if I bring up the panel again in the same session, the results from the previous effort are there (the search results).
I have a TopBar, A LeftBar, A VScrollBar, A HScrollBar and a Panel inside a SplitContainer Panel.The issue I'm having is that when my SplitContainer Panel is small enough to enable one of the ScrollBars, I will slide the ScrollBar and then when I resize the Split Panel, my Panel1 is staying where I scrolled it too.I'm having troubles thinking of the correct code to fix this.

View 12 RepliesI'm working on a visual studio 2008 VB.Net project (.net framework 2.0), and am having some trouble with the Panel control using a fixedsingle border. As a small example of the problem, suppose I have one Panel2 contained inside of Panel1. If the Left position of panel2 is set to 0 (meaning it's border is up against the left edge of Panel1), the left border will show as bold, and slightly indented.

What I'd like to see is just a single line, not bold or indented, where the two panels borders are equal.Is there a property or custom paint technique I could use to achieve this behavior?
This is for a mapping/plotting program.
t.panel is the main panel and it has too much content to fit in one screen so there are scroll bars. x.panel contains the horizontal scale for the data points in t.panel. I drew the scale using a bitmap and set it as x.panel's background.
Setting x.panel's horizontalscroll.value = t.panel's horizontalscroll.maximum doesn't seem to work. I think this is because x.panel's doesn't have any content that causes it to need scroll bars.
I have a problem with a certain panel in another panel.
I have declared a panel on my mainform that is called panel1 ( dock: fill)
In this panel is another panel ( panelmain )with size 10.000, 10.000 pixels. Now I put the auto scroll property of panel1 to true, so then the panel1 has scrollbars on both sides and can show the whole panelmain.
Now the user has the ability to zoom, which basically means that I just scale Panelmain with all it's child controls.
Like Panelmain.Scale(0.95) ( To zoom out )
And panelmain.scale( 1.05) ( To zoom in)
This works well, but when the user is using the scrollbars in panel1 and after that zooms in ( or out ) the location of panelmain is changing. So I tried to solve this by docking panelmain inside panel1 at the left. But now the vertical scrollbar is gone. how I should dock panalemain inside panel1 to prevent panelmain from moving around but also in a way that both the horizontal as the vertical scrollbar are present?

View 7 RepliesI have a form which has two panels each containing there own controls (Pnl1, Pnl2). By Default I want Pnl1 to show and Pnl2 to be hidden which I have set but I want Pnl2 to sit ontop of Pnl1 so when Pnl2 is selected Pnl2 is Visiable and Pnl1 is hidden. Therefore Pnl2 and the controls sit in the same place as the controls in Pnl1. I have got everything lined up but as I move Pnl2 over Pnl1 to sit ontop, Pnl2 is moved into Pnl1 and becomes a Panel within the Controls of Pnl1. Therefore when I hide Pnl1 everything is hidden as Pnl2 is part of Pnl1.

View 2 RepliesIm working to develop an application thats going to run on some not-so-good as performance PC's. The application is done in VB.NET and i encountered some obstacles during my work.
The idea of the application is to allow the users to slide through some pages when they click with the mouse and drag (while the left click is pressed) to right (for browsing to the previous page) and to left (for browsing to the next page). Every page contains 4/6/9 panels with 4/6/9 pictureboxes with some gifs as images.
The issue is that when the user drag with the mouse to browse to a page, the panels and the pictureboxes jerks around when they are moved.
Here is the code that handles the slide part
