View 5 RepliesIs there any box type in vb.net that is multi lined, however stays as a single line and when you click on it , it will open up into a multi lined box (because I want 10 of them in a small area , in single lines will be perfect but needs to have lots of information stored in each one) and then when the user clicks out of the box / into the next one, it returns to its single lined state?
View 8 RepliesI have a button on my form where I'm showing a ContextMenu when the user left clicks on it, I'm actually using MouseUp right now to show it.What I would like to have happen is the user click on the button, the button stays pressed while the ContextMenu shows, it returns to normal when the ContextMenu closes (Either a menu item was selected, the user hits the escape key or they click/tab to somewhere else). Also I'd like to position the ContextMenu in the lower left corner if the menu opens down or the top left corner if it opens up. So the left edge of the ContextMenu is flush with the left edge of the button.Moreso the button staying pressed until the ContextMenu is closed.
Edit: I'm also ok with this being it's own control inheriting the FW's Button that used the assigned ContextMenu as well.
how to ensure that a form stays on-screen completely and cannot be dragged outside the bounds of the window.
This is because the user needs to be able to completely see the form without any of it being cut off.
I got a strange form in my project that doesn't close when I close it, so every time the user will use it, it will stay on system processes. The form is not even shown on the taskbar when it is loaded. It is just a regular form - System.Windows.Forms.Form.
View 9 RepliesI have a basic window that has 20 buttons (One, Two,.....,Twenty).Currently if you click on a button its background color changes, and changes back on next click.I'm looking for a way to make it so when the mouse button is held down I can drag across the screen and it will change every button I hit.Disregard the "Shut Down", "Restart", "LogOff", "Clear", and "Invert" buttons. This idea doesn't apply to them.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a visual map editor, and figured that a DataGridView would be the best way to go. I would like to make it so that you can click one of many buttons to set which new image the grid cell will be set to when you click it. I've set up pretty much everything except that I can't figure out how to set the background image of the cell that I clicked.

I have a NotifyIcon in my system tray.
When my app closes, the NotifyIcon is still there until I run my mouse over it.
How can I make it go away when the app closes?
1. I run a program in VB, then i click X button to close the main form, the program exits.
2. Then I change the code slightly (for example I add MsgBox("abc") and try to run the program.
3. An error appers: "The operation could not be completed..." and then some text in my own language, I try to translate it into english: "...The process cant get access to file, because its been in use by another process"
[code] How come the ProgressBar's value stays the same?
View 1 RepliesThis is the code I have
Function1()
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
ProgressBar1.Minimum = 0
ProgressBar1.Maximum = 6
ProgressBar1.Value = 0
[Code] .....
However the progress bar stays empty. The application runs fully so I know one of the functions is not stuck in an infinite loop.
I have a Sub Menu which has a list of values and when the user selects one it sets a variable to the checked value. I was wondering if it is possible to group them into a control so only 1 can be checked at a time? And also so the menu structure doesn't close each time one of these options is selected.
I have attached a quick ScreenShot to show what i mean of the menu.

I cannot get Excel 2010 to close by using VB on my Windows XP computer at work. I have what I thought would be able to close it, but it doesn't. I do not get any errors, it its just that after multiple times of the code running, I have multiple instances of EXCEL.EXE running in the task manager, which causes problems. I am going to post the code below:
Option Strict Off
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Public Class CompareDataExcel\

View 2 RepliesMy app currently sends GET httpwebrequests and parses the content after reading the response stream for each request and the repeats this process over and over. I need to implement a continuous http stream which uses the same GET request but the connection stays open, from what I understand. how would I change my existing code to do this?
The streaming HTTP implementation allows one to cosume data in real time over a single persistent HTTp request. It access a data feed that continues to send activities on that response. I need to read data from the response, process it(parse and store) and then continue reading from the response and continue this process until the connection is closed. Would this be like a asynchronous request instead?
