View 3 RepliesI can get the custom colours used in the ColorDialog (vb.net) by using yColorDialog.CustomColors, which will return me an array of colours as integer values
View 2 RepliesI have a list of colors i.e.: "1323523, 12342, 2354, 356234, 234234"Each of these numbers stand for a color. I would like it so that when there is colordialog.showdialog, this list of colors shows up in the colordialog custom boxes. This is how i am doing it currently, but for some reason the customcolors are not being added. i know for a fact that my array is good because i checked it.

Am I just limited to the VB pen colors, e.g color.orange, color.black etc or can I define my own rgb colors? If so, how do I do that?
View 4 RepliesA user places the cursor in a table cell and clicks on "Table > Background Color" to edit the current background colour.Currently I have been able to detect the current colour (for instance a light blue) and set that colour in the ColorDialog (Colour swatches are correct and RGB values are correct).What I would like to do is enable the user to click on the "Add to Custom Colors" to save the colour. Problem is, it sets the first square in the custom colours area (which happens to already be filled in with another custom colour), rather than finding the next square that is white and set it there instead.
View 2 RepliesIf you are working on a project that requires non-standard colours for text, it is possible to choose your colour by specifying the RGB components in the boxes on the colorpicker or by moving the mouse around until the desired colour is obtained. This can be put into one of the custom colour boxes and used until the program is shut down. Is it possible to save that colour to the custom colour box so that the next time the project is run, the chosen non-standard colour re-appears in the custom colour box?

View 1 RepliesI have created a custom control using VB.NET in Visual Studio 2008 that gives extensive mapping and tracking functionality to a search and rescue app. The problem I am having is that in a number of places I need to define the path to the main applications executable in order to find a number of directories the control needs to function properly. Everything works fine when I am using it in VS but when I try to embed the control in a form in a separate solution I get the following error:
Failed to create component
'MainControl'. The error message
follows:
[Cod]....
This seems to indicate that it is looking for the GISDataDefault directory in the Visual Studio program path but I have used Application.StartupPath to define this location throughout the control.
This error only occurs when attempting to embed the control in a form outside of the controls solution. The solution I have created to develop this control has two projects (one for the control and one for a test form to do the debuging)

View 10 RepliesVB 2010, Trying add custom colors to a dialog box, save and reload on opening. The "add custom color button" just adds it to the boxes on the left and does not save it for future use. If the user select that color having added it the left you can then get the integer value and add it to the code
ColorDialog1.CustomColors =
New
Integer
() {CustCol1, 16646145, 16580610, 16645891, 16711426, 65536, 6699546}
And save for displaying next time. but it does not return the same color.
Why does it return a different color, it displays the correct color when used at the time of saving? Is there no way of saving all the custom colors, if a user puts several in the boxes on the left? You have to make sure you select Basic color first otherwise it changes existing custom color or if you select a blank box you cannot select anything.
When custom colors are added via code as above it goes along the top row first but when you click the "Add custom color button" it adds the first color to first position of the top row and the next to the first position of the bottom row.

On my datatable (I hope that's the correct word) I have two columns that I want to store color values. I changed the data type to "System.Drawing.Color".
However it would appear I cannot simply type in the string (e.g: "Color.Black") to add it to the database. And when using an update SQL query and make it look for color values on the form, it wants to convert them to string.
Is it possible to store color values like this in this way or do I have use another method?
Is there a way in Visual Basic 2008/Framework 2.0 to create and save a 8bits bitmap(Format8bppIndexed) to a .GIF file using custom colors(about 30) instead of the standard web colors?
If not, is there a way to convert a 24bits or 32bits bitmap to a 8bits bitmap using custom colors?
I have a array of pixels. And I would like to Quantize them.
For Example
FF00FF,00FFFF stuff like that, but most are custom colors and are not a standard 256 color palette. So I need code to convert a color to a 256 color. I dont have any idea on how to do this, but thats why I came here. I do not want to use System.Graphics.Image.Palette or anything like that as this project uses arrays for images. I would like to if at all possible be able to convert a R, G, B color to 8bit, 16bit, 256bit and possibly use the HSL or NeuQuant method or something close to that, or maybe even some other methods of doing it. I do need to be able to do this for a single pixel, but I will also need a method for a array of them.
I'm making a program that will allow people to enter a URL, click on a button and the URL will open in 6 different browsers. Now I can't figure out how to open a specific browser with a specific URL.
I know this though:

This will just open up the browser, but how can I open the browser with a specific URL?
I am working on a simple window application (VS2010,VB.NET). It's an HR management App - Employees records.I need simply insert/edit Employee Info, reports in Excel (with out crystal reports) & Show in Grid.So I am thinking of using Telerik RAD WinForms (2011) only because it looks cool. But I also know that Telerik could be a real pain when you need more flexibility.Although my application is quite basic still I want to determine whether I should go with Telerik or just use standard Windows Forms functionality? How can I generate custom report in specific format.Also It would be nice if some one point me to some sample application or VB.NET windows Tutorials?

View 1 RepliesI know it's possible in asp.net to create a custom error page in a web app, by putting the following line in the web.config: <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="frmErrorPage.aspx" />
I have had to do this for my web app, since it is clearly much tidier than letting the program bomb out with it's ugly default error page. My custom error page just has the customer's logo and a brief message saying "Error has occurred. Please return to homepage"The trouble now is that I have no way of knowing what caused the error, when a customer reports it.
Is there a way to make the actual error message appear on this custom error page too?
