How to detect if a particular control has a particular property?
I am considering writing a generic routine and I would like to know how you can detect whether a particular object has a particular property?
Something like this code:
If HasImageProperty(myObject) = True Then
EndIf
I guess reflection would be used here, but I am not very familiar with reflection.

ok so i have a PANEL control under a WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER control. Both are same size.
The panel has a click event which shows a message saying "HI"
when the panel is behind the wmp control the message is not shown when i click on it.
so the question is is there a way round it, cos currently it only works if the panel is on top of the wmp control
I would like to be able to set Control visual properties such as color, boarder, flat style, etc. on the base class of the control so that as I add new instances of the control, each instance inherits the visual properties of the base. I have tried using Application Settings but it appears as though I need to reference an application setting manually each time I add the control to a form. This is a Windows Form question.

View 2 Repliesi frequently have troubles with the dock property. it seems that either the order of creation or adding to the parent control determines whether or not a control's dock property supersedes another's. e.g. a control with the dockstyle fill will overlap with another docked control on the same parent. does anyone know what the rules are to determine how docking will behave; particularly in dynamically created GUIs?
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to bind the text property of a control to an expression? I have a user control that I add to a FlowLayoutPanel. You can see I have 4 controls in the FlowLayoutPanel below. The first control is a LinkLabel and the other three are my user controls which are numbered 1, 2, & 3. I'd like to bind the label that shows the 1, 2, or 3 to the user controls index within the FlowLayoutPanel.
If I happen to remove the 2nd user control I want the 3rd user control to now display 2. I could use the FlowLayoutPanel ControlAdded or ControlRemoved events, but wanted to see if I could do some binding first.
If I need access to the value of a user control's property BEFORE PreRender, would I need to base the custom control off of one of the preexisting data controls (repeater, listview,etc.)?One of my user controls features a gridview control that is configured based on the user control's properties on which it resides. Several of the key properties alter the SQL Statement for the underlying recordsource. I'm now in a situation where the property that sets the WHERE statement for the SQL Statement needs to tied to a value in the user control's parent FormView. Think of the formview as displaying a customer detail record. The user control takes the customer's account number and then displays data from a related table such as Customer Contact Names. Since the gridview is created before the control's prerender event, working within the prerender event doesn't seem efficient.

View 2 RepliesOk before I get flamed hear me out. I have a form with panels containing tablelayoutpanels containing various amounts of controls that alternate visibility. On the form in its entirety I am looking at roughly 3200 controls most of which are radio buttons.
Now that being said, I am trying to figure out a way to capture what control (mainly radiobutton) is being clicked on through the forms events. So far my attempts have failed with mousedown, mouseclick, etc. Yes I know I can use the "handles radiobutton1.Clicked" event directly. However with that many radiobuttons....I know that there has to be a better way to do this. An API, windows hook, something. So far my efforts to find an alternative method have failed.
just now I was trying to capture the F1 key on the form, but only managed when the form is selected, and I need to detect it in any form control. I used this code:
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.F1
MsgBox("Right")
e.Handled = True
End Select
I want to detect F2 keypress as a shortcut to show something.. this is like F1 to show help in vb.net.

I hope this is the last things I needs for the day.
Consider the following vb.net code for an office add-in (for access):
td = db.TableDefs(objectName)
For Each fld In td.Fields
For Each fldprp In fld.Properties
[code]....
the variable "db" is a .net representation of the access vba return result from "Application.CurrentDB()". "td" is of type "DAO.TableDefClass".This code throws an exception of type "InvalidOperationException" when the value of the fldprp.value property cannot be determined (in Visual Studio, it shows the value as {"Invalid Operation."} in the watch window). fldprp.name, however, is available.
There are only a few properties which this occurs on. I'd like to be able to loop through all the fld.properties and output the values, but ONLY if it is not an exception. I am pretty sure why it is happening (certain properties are not available in this context). What I need to know is how to detect this at run-time so i can skip the property.
if any one knows of a way to determine if a control is currently in the viewable area of the parent form. In example...if I have a form where all controls are visible when the form is maximized, how would I go about determining which controls are no longer visible to the user after they change the window state or form size. To be clear I am not talking about the visible property of a control but rather if the control is actually on screen for the user to see when they do something like resize the main form for instance.

what im trying to do is when you put the mouse over the panel it displays a picture and when the mouse leaves the picture goes away..the problem is that it doesnt detect the mouse when its over the panel. if i make the form background non-transparent it detects it just fine but i need it to work when both the form and panel are transparent

I have created a User Control and would like to be able to detect when the user clicks on the Form.I have seen this question which is related but the suggestion to use the the Leave event doesn't always do what I want because the focus doesn't necessarily change when the user clicks the Form (my control could be the only control on the Form in which case focus stays with my control).I want to be able to do something like this from within the User Control:[code]

I do a lot of programming in VS 2010 on my Windows XP Pro PC. Recently I tried testing my software on a Windows 7 Home PC. For some reason, all of the controls on my forms are slightly misplaced. I also get a bunch of unhandled exceptions I don't get on my pc. For example, one exception said it couldn't access a registry key. Another said it couldn't find the part of a path (it didnt specify which path). What's up? Why is it doing this? My Win XP PC tricks me into thinking my apps are bug free. Guess not.

View 1 RepliesI've got a couple of instances of a user control on a flowlayoutpanel. The user control has got a couple of controls on it, and very little / almost none of the control's original space is visible. I need to know when the mouse is inside the usercontrol. What then happens is that the border color changes (of a control in the user control), and when it leaves the control, it changes back to original state.
I tried the following:
Private Sub ctrDashboardWidgetFrame_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseEnter
Try
ShowControls()
Catch ex As Exception
[Code] .....
And it works, but it only works when you move over the original visible space of the user control, and doesn't work when you move over the child controls inside the user control. How I'll be able to achieve this to also work while the user is inside the full user control and not just it's visible space?

Color values are unimportant, you can change it.
I have a number of pages which implement the same interface:[code]The function doSomethingToTextBox takes a textBox item as a parameter and performs some action on it.I know the textBox is contained on every page which implements my interface, and that it has the same name on each page.My question is: how can I declare the textBox as an interface property? This will remove the need to pass the textBox as a parameter to doSomethingToTextBox()I must also add that I'm currently accessing the TextBox using get/set methods defined as part of the interface - I don't want to have to implement these methods for each page as they are exactly the same on each page.
