I've done a lot of work to customize the template for ContextMenu in my app, and it worked great as a "right-click" popup window.To my enormous surprise, when I wanted to add the same ContextMenu to a button to work as a kind of "drop-down" menu, it reverted back to the default template. It is really, really, weird, considering it's the exact same control I'm using, and when I right-click the button the template is the one I customized, but when I left-click it(and open it with ContextMenu.IsOpen = True) it uses the default template? I'm pretty baffled right now, and hope that this isn't one of the (many) quirks with WPF that will require me to write hundreds of lines of XML code to fix something that shouldn't even be an issue in the first place.
In 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. He want to assign this page to the user with some restriction like user1 need to enter the all the fields and save it the forms as user1profile, but user2 need to enter only firstname and lastname and save it as user2profile.(in features, he can remove the fields from the form).
I'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:
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).
I want more customization then the original VS 2010 set up files. So i decided to code everything. For example, i put all my files in my debug folder into my installer.vb's My.Resources. So i usedSystem.IO.File.WriteAllText ---> to install all my files and the .exe one.Everything was installed it except my Ethup Bolt New Build.exe. It shows up in the folder after installation, but when i click on it, it didnt run at all. (It showed up in the task manger, under process, but it disappeared after like 5secs.) So it didnt run at all. My question is how do i install my .exe properly. ( I DONT WANT TO USE THE ORIGINAL INSTALLER WITH Visual Studio)
I would like to change just a little bit the outlook of the form's top region in my application (the icon, bar, and controbox), is there any way to accomplish this without using third party components ?, I'd like to have my own Winform control that inherits from Windows.Forms.Form.[url]...
I've searched for a while and I just can't get it working I have a context menu that has some items (I know how to edit those) but I just can't get the ContextMenu to pop up when I right click my PictureBox3!
i'd like to customize the left side of the save file dialog boxes' folders. when you open the save file dialog, the folders located on the left. how do i change those since i've seen some programs open the save or open file dialog with their preset prefferences..so much work to do and so many choices to choose from...
is it possible to customize the properties of a form? for instance, i would like to start a new project, and have my form load center screen, not windows default location from the startup location, among many other options.if this is a possibility, from within vb.net, which i was not able to find and customize, do advise on how to do so.if i have to hack vb.net, i would not know where to start to do so, but how would i begin? what file do i need to modify in the program files folder of vb.net? this, by any means, i would not find it as a hack to destroy someone's work, but to better the software for the user.if a moderator reads this post , do consider my concern for customizing vb.net as vb.net customizes for the users..what i mean, is that, if this option is not available, mods, look into providing an update for vb.net to allow the customizing of the properties for forms/toolbox items and do reply to this thread w/a link.
unless vb 2o10 provides this option, which i doubt, and if it does and there are skins for vb.net 2o1o to change the tab look to the 2oo8 vb.net look, do not advise to look toward the 2o1o version.. personally, the 2o1o tabs are ridiculous, the font in the code window could have been the same as vb.net 2oo8 also.
i have a simple application where a user can drag "text" from a tree view to another application.is there a way to customize the cursor during the drag... i would llike to have a custom image or something that simulates what the user is really dragging [code]
i have a datagridview. On right click it shows a contextmenu but it is always in the right upper corner. I want it so that the menu appears on the cell where user right clicks. It could be Cell 1 or two or whatever.
I have a ContextMenu attached to a tray notifyIcon and I already have it on the form in design mode. If I look at it in design mode I can see evereything that I have on the main pop-up context menu. What I am trying to do is add to one of those choices programatically. Worked fine in VB6.I am reading in a list of filenames from a directory and want to place them as menu items in the 2nd level of the context menu. Example:
I have a contextmenu on my winform appplication. I have a bit of trouble with clicking on the menu items event. When I click on menu items event, the menu items do not fade or even hide. I want to know how to hide the contextmenu?
I have a shockwave on a form in my VB.NET application. Everything works great. Although, when a user right-clicks over the flash movie a flash context menu is displayed. How do I use the form contextmenu on flash??
How can I customize the user interface in Visual Basic .NET and is there stuff you cant do in Vb.net that you can in higherj level languages usch as Java and C and C++?
I am trying to customize the default binding navigator as i inherit it to my own class and add some buttons to it.every thing gos fine and great as i want it, but the problem is when i change any thing in the AddStandardItems() method class dos not reflect to the existing form which has the same class, i have to remove it from the form and put it again to reflect the changes.This is not good solution, i have more than 30 forms using the same Binding navigator class and it is not possible to remove it form all those forms and put it again.the code for the class is:
Public Class Bind2 Inherits BindingNavigator Private WithEvents DtEditButton As ToolStripItem = Nothing
I'm facing a problem with Treeview, I'm using it as a menu in a app, but I just can't find anything related on how to change the hottracking event, like the font color, or the background color once an item is selected.
i am using this code for sending an image to print:
Private Sub PrintToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PrintToolStripMenuItem.Click Dim TmpPrntPicDoc As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument AddHandler TmpPrntPicDoc.PrintPage, AddressOf TmpPrntPicDoc_PrintPage Dim TempPPD As New System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog
