I have created a custom Combobox and added it to my toolbox, and it works well. Now I have added a custom ListBox to the same file as the combo box, but it does not show on my designer when I place it. I can however add it at runtime.
''ComboBox
<DefaultEvent("SelectedIndexChanged"), _
ToolboxBitmap(GetType(System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox))> _
Public Class ProjectsComboBox
Inherits ComboBox
''My Customization
[Code] .....
I have tried removing the "DefaultEvent..." and still no dice.
Sometime ago I used to create all my class structures in vision before I wrote them. That however didn't last. I found it easier to just make little drawings with pencil and piece of paper. And I still do to this day. In code usually those drawings manifest themselves as interfaces which then are implemented by different classes. I do all this in code. And I was just wondering if there is any tools available in Visual Studio for VB.NET that would allow to create interfaces and implement them in classes (which a lot of times means just adding variables to class that will hold data passed with interface attributes) from design mode(kinda like using Visio only after you finish you don't have to write out code).
View 3 RepliesMy UI currently addsabPageGraphs to a TabControlMain dynamically. I now need to present 4 different views of the same data. I want to do something like the following code indicatesbut there is no 'Add()' method for TabPages by which I can add 4 Tabs to an existing TabPage.How would I accomplish this so that under a specific dynamically added TabPage, the User can select any of 4 new TabPages with a different graph to view.
if (!this.tabControlMain.Contains(this.tabPageGraphs))
{
this.tabControlMain.TabPages.Add(this.tabPageGraphs);

I have 2 questions.
1- Let's I have a form with a TabControle and 2 tabpages, is it possible to set the tabpages so that if i go from tabpage1 to tabpage2 that all data on tabpage1 gets reseted. The same thing if I go from tabpage2 to tabpage1 that tabpage2 is reseted. Also if I press on tabpage1 or 2 that the form changes to a certain height.
2- On the same form I created a button to open a new form. This new form is a notepad look a like. What I want is that the moment I open the second form that al the input from form one is showed on form 2. So that I can save it or print it.
why when I use My.Settings to Add items during design mode, they do not show up during run mode?
This is for a custom control.
I'm missing something between the control that exists on a Form during design-mode and the (apparently new) control that's created during run mode.
I can add items in design mode using the Application Settings editor (right-click on custom control, select Properties then Settings). But when I use code in a smart panel during design-mode along with My.Settings.MyProperty.Add() to add additional items, the new items show-up in design mode but revert back to the old set during run-mode.
How can I get back the design view mode in Visual Studio 2008? I closed the design view mode and I can't see any option to view my form in design mode.
View 10 RepliesI am using Visual Basic 2010 Express. I have a form with some text boxes on it. There was some code on that form which was giving errors. So I deleted the whole code. Now the problem is, I cannot see the form Design mode button to view it in design mode. But when I hit F5, I can see all the text boxes (in Run mode). I want to add some more controls on form. How to resolve this problem?
View 2 RepliesI am getting trouble in designing report. The interface of design and view mode is different. the alignment of the view mode for paragraphs are different from the design.
The following is my design interface:
The following is my view mode:
All the setting are the same, but there has different on it.
I accidentally deleted a tab in the design mode. I still have an old form in which the tab is present. But it is an old copy from the present project, hence is it not in the same project. What can I do best to get it back? By the way, Visual studio could better say some warning before they do that. And contr-z did not get all the content back. May-be I should have hit that button a few times more before I pressed save. I dont know.
View 5 RepliesConverted an VS 2003 VB Application to Visual Studio 2010. Conversion seemed to work great. Having trouble with the Backcolor of buttons. In design mode they are a light gray (I have them set to transperent and they are on a VBPowerPack.Blend Panel) - but in Runtime they turn the correct color (Steel Blue). How do I get design time to look the same as runtime? Also, they stay light grey in run time if I check Enable XP Styles. Makes me feel better to see the same colors at Design time
View 1 RepliesI created a Windows Forms Application and spent a lot of time putting it together. This is my first project like it, it works correctly and... I'm very happy with it. However, I didn't open Visual Studio for a couple weeks. And when I went back to open the project's .sln file to edit it again, I can no longer see the design view with the layout of the program and all its objects (textboxes, labels, buttons, etc).
When I open a brand new Windows Forms Application, I can Right click the Form1.vb file in the Solution Explorer and "View Designer." Here is a picture. Now, when I right click on the .vb file from my program, that option is not there. As you can see, my program has a lot of objects. So I'm getting a concerned that I did something wrong and will not be able to use the design mode any more.
I'm doing my project and I design including many tab control in vb.net.
Example: I have 3 tab pages like tab1,tab2,tab3. And I have menu bar to open tab1,tab2,tab3.
My Question is: How can you use code to open each tab page?
I have a ComboBox control with some items added to the items collection in design mode. What I want is when an item is picked from the ComboBox a different value is actually used in the code, instead of what is displayed. I am aware of the DisplayMember & ValueMember properties, but I'm not sure if that is what I need to use. All the examples I found were for bound data.
View 3 RepliesI have a document with VBA controls in it that I created in MS Word 2003. After migrating to MS Word 2007, I get the message that "Can't exit design mode because control 'lblEmaillist' can not be created".
After reading through the various forums here and on microsoft.com it seems to be a known problem. I looked at these articles but am still having a bit of trouble...
[URL] refers to the same problem in word 2000 but after following the directions I still am getting the problem.
The problem does not occur when I open the document in MS Word 2007 or MS Word 2003. The problem only occurs when I open click on the link from IE.
I've set up the location as a trusted location in Office 2007 settings so that should not be an issue.
The document in question is being saved in the word 97-2003 format due to the fact that some people here have not upgraded to office 2007. I tried saving it as a .docm for office 2007 but the error message still came up.
Im using VS 2010 Trial edition. In my web application i got error "error hresult e_fail has been returned from a call to a component" while viewing the aspx page in design mode.
View 2 RepliesI know that there is no DESIGN, DESIGN_MODE, DESIGN_TIME, etc preprocessor directive value. However, I need something that can do the trick. I can't use a normal If statement, because in my case I need to change the inherited class so that the control renders properly at design time. If not, I'll receive an exception due to the fact that the inherited class is an abstract class.Here's what I'm looking to accomplish:
Partial Class MyCustomControl
#If DesignMode Then
Inherits UserControl
#Else
Inherits WidgetControl
#End If
