is it possible to have a background image repeat it's self for every listing in a combobox? so when i click the arrow on the combobox, it has a a set smiley image for every added item.. maybe even a different smiley for every listed item... not sure it's possible though, maybe i have to create a self resizing form that acts like a combobox when clicked on a button.

View 10 Repliessample_form.rtf (1.48MB). Number of downloads: 36. I have a working form to give specific choices to the user and retrieve the user's choice. (See code below and attached image in WordPad file.) I know I can use a global ("Public") variable to pass the text of the three choices from the calling form to the called form, but is there a way to pass these from one form to the other exclusively? Of course, my main objective is to have as little memory being used as possible. I would like to make the form in my example (frmDialogChoice) a generic form that can display any set of three choices.
code within calling form:
Dim intSwitchToMake As Integer
Dim insFrmDialogChoice As New frmDialogChoice
insFrmDialogChoice.ShowDialog()

View 3 RepliesTrying to create a custom button to reside on the desktop at:
Me.Height = PictureBox1.Height
Me.Width = PictureBox1.Width
Me.Top = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Height - Me.Height
Me.Left = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Width - Me.Width
The trouble is all the arrows point to right, and the menus open variably depending on size.
Is there anyway to make the arrows point left and make all menus open to left in same direction?
Also, Is it possible to make the width of my form autoresize to the size of a label and the image box, while keeping the imagebox at the bottom right of the screen showing the populated label to the left?
We are using the DataGridView Control for our projects. The Applications we are developing is the replacement for the Existing CLI (Command Line Interface Applications) written using FoxPro.The users are much more familiar with the Keyboard Navigations ratherthan using Mouse and all.Here What we need is, how can we handle the Keyboard Operations in the Data Grid View. Some of the Operations i am listing below.When we hit Enter Key :
1. Navigating the Cursor into a particular Cell (It will be in the Same Row, but Different Order), after getting focus the cell should become editable
2. Navigating the Cursor to the Next Row and First Column (Once i finished the editing in the Last Column )
3. Focusing the Cursor into a Specifc Row and a column. (With Editable)

View 2 RepliesI am a new to programming, trying to learn vb.net, so I apologize if my questions are very elementary or my terminology is incorrect. I am trying to format a query to an Oracle table based on user-selected radio buttons on a Windows form (i.e. the query will return different elements from the table based on the radio buttons selected). The query results will be placed in a listbox on the form. My thought was to make a Property containing my query like so:
[Code]...
and then I have a sub that feeds this SQL property (containing the query) into an OracleConnection.My problem is that I don't know how to customize that query depending on what radio buttons are selected by the user. Is a Property the best way to go about this, or is there some other way that may be better?
So I was wondering if anyone has done their own Forms (inheriting windows form and editing the properties) and if so, what your finished result was. And, if you are willing to post a screenshot of your finished result, that would be sweet! Trying to get some ideas of what can be accomplished with customizing the default form.

View 1 RepliesI'm having some weird trouble with adding a new value in a combobox.The combobox has a datasource which is a bindingsource.The combobox's list is filled from a different table through a different bindingsource. Combobox.valuemember = "ID" and Combobox.displaymember = "Description".When a user types a value in the list, I want to add the new value to the table which is the source for the list. (Which is not the problem, but I don't get that far) The problem is that when the user types a new value in the box, it totally disappears as soon as the user tabs out of the combobox. So, in the event combobox.Validating the combobox.text property (nor any other property) does not show the new typed value.
