I have a bit of a problem creating a user control at the moment. I'm creating it within my current project via the 'Project> Add User Control' menu item. The problem is that when I create the control, run a build and add it to my form the controls within the custom user control are about one and a half times the size they should be.
[Code]...
I figured it out. Check out the finished control [URL]..I'm trying to make myself a simple 'star rating' control.
It would have the properties:
StarCount (number of stars)
StarValue (number of stars highlighted)
I want to draw the stars using GDI+, have them highlight on mouse over, and change the StarValue when clicked.I have an idea on how to do this from experience with working with forms, but I'm having some difficulties with the Control development part. I couldn't find any tutorials which didn't inherit a control (such as a checkbox or button), and I have no idea how to make my control editable in the designer.
I think what I need to do is create StarCount as a property like this:
[Code]...
I also want to execute my drawing code at design time, so I can see the stars while laying out a form. as a side note to that, I don't know how to change the size of the control at run or design time, nor how to disable the user from changing it at design time.as a side note - I know that there are a few star rate controls already floating around the internet, but I do not like the quality of them (or at least the one's I've seen), they felt very windows 98. I'm trying to make something that will fit well into windows 7 (plus I want to implement custom images, but that can wait until I get it working)
I'm coding an application that will work with many arrays of data. To make the code easier I want to make a user control (called Multiselect) that will include a textbox and a treeview. The textbox will be alway visible and treeview will appear when needed.The user will put a string in the textbox and the MultiSelect will search all of the stored data in a array that match the searched string. When done, the TreeView will appear and show the found items. User will have an opportunity to choose the right items through checkboxes.
What I can't do is the TreeView. I want it to act like the autocomplete in Visual Studio editor - for example you are in a class and type "me." and Visual Studio offers you all methods possible in a window. This windows doesnt get focus, but if on the top of the main form so the found items are visible over the text.
I am currently trying to create a generic navigation control with a similar style to the outlook navigation bar. I have figured out how I would be able to dynamically create the bottom part where you select the menu option, but I'm struggling to figure out how I would be able to create the top part, which can contain any user control that the developer would want.So basically what I'm trying to figure out is, is there a way to allow for a developer to add controls to a specific area of your user control?
If there is a way of achieving that then if anyone knows how to do this;In ASP.Net you have the login controls and with one of them, you are able to have different views depending on whether the user who is viewing the web page is logged in or not. Is there a way of achieving this in VB.Net for a user control that could be set up so that I could have the developer able to switch the view in the designer to show them the view for when a specific navigation option has been selected.
How dow I create a user control for use in a webpage using VB.NET (not ASP.NET)?
How do I use that control in a webpage?
Can my control cause an event in the webpage and how? Ie. my user control has a button, and I want a Javsascript script to run when i click the button
I have followed the directions from this web site and the control works on a new form. But I have now written my own User Control. It compiles, I have changed Active Config within the Solution Properties to Release | Any CPU and built the Solution. But I can not find the .dll within the .NET framework Components after selecting Choose Toolbox Items from the Tools menu.

Then I built the test control and tried to added it to the Toolbox. When I did this--i.e., browsed to the dll and double-clicked it, I got the errror message:
"There are no components in ... that can be placed in the toolbox."
Is it even possible to add a User Control to the Toolbox without compile-time components?
I need to upgrade my application to a modern style interface component like Dotnetbar or Krypton,these doesn't provide a equivalent control for bindingnavigator so I have to create it with some buttons and textbox.I use bindingnavigator only for navigation as in the image
It is possible to create a user control (with 4 buttons and a textbox) that inherit bindingnavigator and to have new style buttons ?
I believe that this is in the correct forum due to it being about creating an interface item, but if I am wrong then let me know and I'll try and bring this thread to the attention of the mods to be moved to a more appropriate forum.

The one thing that I have thought of that could possibly cause a problem is having the capability of knowing when one of the user controls has been clicked, while I haven't figured this out exactly, I believe I should be able to achieve this by having an event for the navigation user control that provides the developer a reference to the control.
While I would hope that I have explained what I'm thinking well, its before my first coffee of the morning so I might have missed out some detail which would help someone to help me if I have then please let me know and I'll provide any details required.Also if what I'm envisioning is Pie in the sky, then let me know and I'll just have to make a base which I would just have to make a more bespoke system.
I need to dynamically create some sort of 'table' on my form. It should look like:
PIC1 INTEGER1 TIME1
PIC2 INTEGER2 TIME2
PIC3 INTEGER3 TIME3
On top of that it should look like a table and have gridlines between the 'cells' containing the picture/data, which makes it even more difficult for me. Before, control arrays were quite simple in VB6, but I've been searching for 1,5 hours now and I can't figure out how to do this in VB.NET 2010. Any idea how to tackle this the most efficiently?

How can I make a control array? Or the equivalent.
I am used to Visual Basic 6 which presents the option of whether to create a control array when I copy and paste and control.
At design-time, when one clicks a control it is selected and this state is depicted with a frame drawn around the control. I would like to know how can I mimic the same effect at runtime; that is, how can I draw a similar frame around a control when the user clicks over it?

I am loading forms into a TabControl creating a new tab page each time the form is loaded. ** I would like to point out that I am using UC instead of a from**
Now, I can easily have many tabs with the same form loaded. On the form I have a 'Search Button' So my question is, after clicking the search button how can I tell which instance of the form the 'Search Button' was clicked? Hope this makes sense

I have an application going here Form1 has a panel on it named TargetPnl. I need my TargetPnl to display my user control named Vviewer when I click my SearchBtn and also need it to disappear when I click another button.
View 1 RepliesI have a problem in VS2010 with a user control i have created, I wonder if this is a known problem and if there is a resolution.
My project has a root namespace of DEV2.MyApp.I have created a user control and dragged it onto my form at design time.In the designer i get an error for that form that goes like this:-
Type DEV2.MyApp.myCtrl is not defined Me.myCtrl = New DEV2.MyApp.myCtrl ()I correct it by removing the namespace DEV2. like follows.Me.myCtrl = New MyApp.myCtrl ()
However, everytime i make an amendment to this form on the designer, the error creeps back. Its really annoying and I dont really want to resort to having to create the control at run time to get around it.
I have code for make the usercontrol transparent:
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As CreateParams
Get
Dim cp As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
cp.ExStyle = cp.ExStyle Or &H20
'WS_EX_TRANSPARENT
[Code] ......
These code shows the usercontrol transparent. But when the control moves I see that these control needs time to be transparent or drawing an image. Why so many time(maybe 2 seconds)? And why I can't use directions keys on keydown event? (The arrow keys are ignored).
I have created a user control. The user control has a button and a propertyGrid. I wrote a function to bind data to propertyGrid. When I click the button I called the function and datasource binded to propertyyGrid, its working fine. The same way am binding the grid from another class.vb, the datasource binding not throwing any exception. But the data not showing in the grid. Should I need to change any modifier.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to implement a Web User Control into one of my APSX pages but keep getting the following warning:
Element 'IntFilter' is not a known element. This can occur if there is a compilation error in the Web site, or the web.config file is missing.
The user control is defined in the same web project as the aspx page.
Question: How do I resolve this warning (I do not want to move the control to a separate project)? Also, what do I need to do to enable IntelliSense for this control so I can set its FilterTypeSelection property from ASPX?
Code for "~/FilterControls/IntFilter.ascx"
<%@ Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="IntFilter.ascx.vb" Inherits="StaffSupport.Filters.IntegerFilter" %>
[Code]....
Also of note, if you drag the control from the Solution Explorer to the page in Design view it will add the references you need (though it was still generating the warning for me). If you drag it to the page in source view it will add an a tag with a href to the element.
Update 2012/02/21 b:
I once saw in an app a control that allowed the user to choose when they wanted the Timer running. It looked something like this: And when the squares are green, for example Tuesday 3:15 AM - 4:15 AM, the timer would run during that time period. I'm curious as to what control will allow me to do something similar?

I'm adding a custom control to a child form like so:
[Code]...
this questions has be answered partially, but I can't find any full tutorial for this problem.I created my own user control (an advanced list with columns). Each column has different attributes like width, colour and text.I want to able to add this user control onto a form and select/edit the different attributes of each column. Hence, for each column in my user control (these columns are created beforehand, no columns can be added or removed from it) there should be a property in the property-menu. Each of these column-properties should be expanded (like the normal size-property in most default vb-controls that can be expanded with the little plus to show the width and height individually.What i mean by this, is: In the property-menu there should be attributes like Column1, Column2, Column3. Each of these attributes should be expanded to show the attributes like width or colour.
Currently I have different properties for different values of the same column, like Column1Wodth, Column1Colour, etc, but I want to group this under one value Column1.I think this is quite an easy solution, but forgive me, I spent more than 4 hours on google, but couldn't find a proper solution.
I'm creating a program and i want it to secretly save when the user clicks on save.
In other words, i have made it so that it saves twice. Once for the user to read (like a fancy copy) and another that the program uses to open up the form.
Currently when pushed, 2 save dialog boxes come up after each other. I don't want this to happen. I want 1 to come up (the user friendly, fancy version) which is the easy part, but i also want the other 1 to save automatically and secretly without asking the user to set the destination.
