Jul 26, 2009Want to use several panels on a single form and have them turned on based on what button you click. Think I can figure out how to turn panels on and off but I find it difficult to manage multible panels within a single form in Visual Studio.When I create multible panels they end of connect to eachother instead of connecting back to the main form and when you add child controls it is difficult to know what pannel they got connected to.
View 10 RepliesUsing For Each Loop To Work With Controls
Jan 2, 2012I can use the below code snippet to clear the text from each textbox on a form.
For Each ctl As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then
ctl.Text = ""
End If
Next
But if I want to use it to ensure that all radiobuttons in a group of radio buttons are unchecked then it doesn't work i.e.
For Each ctl As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf ctl Is RadioButton Then
ctl.checked = false
End If
Next
I'm assuming it is because the checked property is not common to all controls.
Work With Many Controls At The Same Time?
May 12, 2009I have a form which has many textboxes on it, some are dynamically generated and some are not. They structure is something like this:
[Code]...
Is there a way to create a collection of all of the textboxes so that I can access all at any time? Like when I need to clear them, or when I need to compare them. Right now I either access them one by one, like textbox1.text or I run a loop starting from the main flowlayoutcontrol, going inside, testing if control is another flowlayout, then going deeper and so on. Seems like there should be another simpler way to do this though, is there?
Adding Custom Controls To A Panel Doesn't Work
Jan 27, 2010I am fooling around with VB for a while now and it is not the first time I created custom controls to use in an application. The situation: I have a database application (FormView / not GridView). The form is designed the following way: At the left I have a Panel1 with TextBoxes and other controls to view / edit dataset records. At the right I have a Panel2 which contains on default a custom control (a number of PictureBoxes mainly) to view / add / delete pictures associated with the currently viewed data record.
On a ButtonClick at a special button on the ToolStrip, I would like to replace that custom control in Panel2 with another custom control (which contains a search with different search possibilities), so, I basically throw out the PictureControl and load a SearchControl instead. This is the first time where I actually designed the custom controls within the actual project. In past, I always developed the custom controls seperately in a new project and later imported the dll. However, my first attempt just does not work and I don't even know where I should start troubleshooting since I don't get any errors.

C# - How To Create A Simple Glass Effect
Jul 12, 2010I am currently painting a light blue, partly transparent overlay over owner-drawn objects to indicate certain state. It's OK but I thought that it would be even nicer if I could at some sort of glass effect to further establish the idea that the particular object has "something" overlaid over the top of it.
I thought that some glass streaks, for example, in addition to the blue transparency would lend a nice effect.I've Googled around for GDI+ (and others) algorithms to do simple things painting like this but have come up empty. I prefer .NET but can figure out the painting from pseudo-code on up.
Sorry, shoul've also specified that I need to target WinXP and using .NET version 2.0 - So unable to use WPF or Vista/Win7 goodies.

View 6 RepliesModify Aero Glass Color?
Jan 12, 2009I can't figure out how it is possible to change the color for aero glass (which is blue by default).I want to change it to yellow (or brown) if the battery level (only for laptops of course) is low, to red when its critical. I have read a lot and was able to read the color (registry and api) and I was able to get notified when the color changes (wndproc) but there is no api call to set the color. I am able to set the registry key. That works, but requires a reboot, which is (in my case) not a solution. I have tried to simulate the wndproc message as broadcast, no result...What does the control panel applet do? If I change the color there it will be instantly applied, even the setting is not saved to the registry (which will be the best solution for my case). Programming language is vb9, vista is required by the application itself, so no other checks are required.

View 4 RepliesUser Is Waiting Or Staring At The Hour-glass?
Nov 2, 2011This is my follow up question to my earlier topic about Memory management.Now I believe I have good code that gets me the results I want. The main application form has a Label field which tells the user to wait with message "Getting the data from the AD Database......". I am noticing that the "Wait" message is up for too long. However, once I get the data, it is processed fast and loaded into the DataGridView.
I would like the user to have a better feedback than the stardard "Wait" cursor. Is there a better way to show how much data (records) were fetched during the data aquisition phase and present it to the user? This would allow the user to guess how much longer he has to wait to complete the data fetching.
