I want to develop an app with custom forms. When I finish to create a custom form, how can I set this form as a template? I want to select this form from the templates, when I add a new form to my project.
View 3 RepliesI know this is really picky, but can I have one template inside a user control:
<uc:MyUserControl runat="server" ID="test">
<div><b>Test</b></div>

I have attached a printscreen version of my excel template here,
Now I just want to know, using vb.net code, on how can I import this data from a specific cell, including the header itself so I can insert it into mysql database.
as in VB2008 the documentation suggest creating a module or class, then selecting 'Export Template' on the File menu. Regrettably my file menu does not show the item 'Export Template' in my installation of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2.
View 4 RepliesI want my User Control to be able to have Literal Content inside of it. For Example:
<fc:Text runat="server">Please enter your login information:</fc:Text>
Currently the code for my user control is:
<ParseChildren(True, "Content")> _
Partial Public Class ctrFormText
Inherits UserControl[code]..............
And when I put text inside this control (like above) i get this error: Parser Error Message: Literal content ('Please enter your login information to access CKMS:') is not allowed within a 'System.Collections.ArrayList'.This control could have other content than just the text, so making the Content property an attribute will not solve my problem.I found in some places that I need to implement a ControlBuilder Class, along with another class that implements IParserAccessor.Anyway I just want my default "Content" property to have all types of controls allowed in it, both literal and actual controls.
what i am trying to do is create a custom user control for my WPF forms that is a button with both text and an image. Everything that i have found is using C# and i am using vb.net.

View 4 RepliesIn VB.NET,I want to create template at runtime and save it the template with name. for ex : Administrator design a page with 5 fields like using firstname, lastname, dob,nationality and job.

View 1 RepliesI'm working on my first T4 code generation tool to add some Stored Procedure helper code to my project. I've created custom types (e.g. StoredProcedure and StoredProcedureParameter to help with my code generation and have included the assembly and namespace references in my code:
<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="false" language="VB" #>
<#@ output extension=".generated.vb" #>
<#@ assembly name="$(TargetPath)" #>
<#@ import namespace="StoredProcCodeGenerator" #>
This allows me to use my custom types in my T4 template code. However, because my custom types exist in the same project as the T4 template code, I can't recompile my project once I run the template code without restarting Visual Studio. This isn't very much fun.
I read a great article that addresses this exact issue by using the T4 Toolbox, but it's not working. Either I'm implementing the VolatileAssembly directive wrong or the T4 toolbox simply didn't get installed. I'm not sure that the toolbox got installed correctly (I'm using VS 2010 on Win XP).

Names By Letter.
Dim NewNameWindow As New FormNameWindow()
NewNameWindow .Text = "Starts With *"
NewNameWindow .Show()
Where * would be the letter you click on.Lets say i put the name in the wrong window by mistake - is it possible to send that text to the correct form.

View 1 RepliesHow do I create a Windows form template? want to avoid adding all graphics setting up all other objects each time I create a new form. I am sure there must be an easy way of doing this but I just cant see how.
View 7 RepliesI downloaded Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition last night (the total download took about 3 hurs, but I digress). I started duing the little "Learn Visual Basic" tutorials. I've gotten to "Communicating with Your Program's User: The User Interface" and it asks me to open up a new project. Alright, fine, nothing I haven't done yet. But the problem is that it wants me to open the new project up in Windows Form Application.

I am designing a form that will create a template of data that will later be loaded into another form.From a menu command "Create New Template" I will need to ask how many Fields will be needed for the new template in an input box. If the user would input say 10, then I need to generate 10 labels, 10 text boxes, & 10 combo boxes. Each group (label, Text Box & Combo Box) on its own row on the form.I also want create the data mapping for each of them at this time.Once I have achieved this then I will add a form that will lookup the template name, and row count given from the above form via the database and load the required rows of items for further data entry.
Since I will have a MAX row limit I thought about designing a form using a Table Layout panel with 25 Rows and 5 columns then doing some sort of .visible true/false for the layout panel row after the user input of row/field quantities.Another question is resizing the form around only the visible rows.
the right direction on methods used to extract data to a form (fill out the fields)? I have use a form within my access database itself, however I do not want the users going into the database anymore to print. I have looked into using word, but it seems more complicated than it should be.
View 3 RepliesI have a project that will need several forms with a similar structure - a Data Grid View control, a few buttons and some textboxes. They are not similar enough to use just one form and change things programatically so I would like to create a "template" and add several copies of it into my project. My first attempts have failed miserably, ending up with lots of "conflicts" and "duplicate items".
So, how should I save a form from my existing project in such a way that I can then load in multiple copies (giving them suitably different names) without having name conflicts?
I found this code snippet made with c# OK, let's say I have a PDF document called "Form.pdf" with 4 form fields. The form fileds are "name", "address", "postal_code" and "email".Here's the code to create a new PDF file using "Form.pdf" as a template:

{
string formFile = @"N:.NETForm.pdf";
string newFile = @"N:.NETFilled-out Form.pdf";

I have two forms, say Form1, Form2
Form1 has one textbox and one button, Btn1 when clicked, it opens Form2 as dialog.
Form2 has one textbox and one button too.
First I click on Btn1 to open Form2 as dialog. And when I click on Btn2 on Form2, I want the text in the Textbox2 to be copied to TextBox1. I know it could be done by Public Property Get, Set but I am stuck.
how can i make a custom form like this? [URL]
View 4 RepliesLet's say I create an image, and said image will be the background of a form. But I want the form to be in the shape of the image, how would I go about doing that? This means I remove the title bar and drag it around manually, yes, but how do I actually do that?
View 2 RepliesHow can i add a custom Cursor to my Form with Resources? if tried like 3 ways but none of them worked or made my programm crash
View 35 RepliesI used a custom form in visual studio. I had set the parent form for mdicontainer as true. When I try to load the childform and the code is form2.show then my design for a custom form image is working but when I add the code:
form2.show form2.mdiparent = mdiparent it won't.
I had set the transparency as = red
backgroundcolor = red
formstyle = none
backgroundimagestyle = none
Everything works fine using a .gif image custom form image but when I put a code "mdiparent" it won't. It is important to put "form2.mdiparent=mdiparent" so that when I clicked the background image which is the "form1" or the parent form the form2 will not go to the back page of form1. It is possible to disable the click event of form1 so that when I clicked it the form2 will not go to its back.
im creating my own custom form design for some of my programs...i would like to get the basic form down and then save it as a template...before i can do that i need some help designing and creating the form. Im going for a windows office 2007 sorta look with a glowing orb at the top right. I need a few coding elements to implement first.
[Code]...
yes these are all things capable with the traditional windows form but i want something more my style. Also im creating a orb like thing in the top left and a minimize/maximize/close button at the top right. I was going to use just images...is this the best way or can i create better graphics in wpf or something like that? Some more things that i would like but dont nessarly need would be the capablity to make my form with the clear vista aero glass instead of a single static color...i dont know mutch about this but is there an easy way to extend the vista aero glass theme across forms and if so what would that look like on xp machines.
I never did custom events and would like to make a sub procedure execute via a custom event from another form that does not have the custom event defined. For example I would like to raise the event from my ok button in one form and have the event in the other form execute. How to set this up using code examples?

This relates to WPF but is broad enough that a winform answer will do. I have made a few custom controls in the past by inheriting from whatever particular control I wish to inherent from.
I have noticed that I can add a form to a class/user control library from the add new dialog and have it run. When this application is compiled I get a DLL.
So my question is can I use a Form as a custom control. The reason I ask is I am creating a more advanced MsgBox for a new application I require and a form as its container makes the most sense.
