View 2 RepliesI have a number of ActiveX controls which make use of consituent controls (edit boxes,combo boxes etc). I'm using these in a VB .Net 2005 project.When I run the application within the IDE, all the ActiveX controls display correctly with the XP visual styles.But when I run the built assembly, the ActiveX controls display without XP visual styles
View 3 RepliesWhere and how do I look for to access the default templates of say for e.g a checkbox, so that I can modify few styles in it.
View 1 RepliesI'm sure I'm doing something wrong because I can't see how the problems I'm having with controls' appearance in Win7 can be normal. When "Enable XP visual styles" is enabled in my application, my progressbars never fill and gridlines don't show in Listviews. Disabling XP visual styles fixes those problems, but then everything looks like Win98 and that's no solution.

My form looks like this with a DataGridView:I would like to make it look more professional. Can someone recommend a "makeover" for it? Perhaps there is a more attractive way to display this data.
View 5 RepliesI am using .net 2008 and working on Winforms. I wanted to know if there was a way to make form or command buttons look a bit attractive. I know there are control suites available which can revamp the entire GUI of an application but I do not want to use those. Infact I don't want any to use a third party dll.The way the buttons/form looks in Windows XP is now a little lame compared to Vista/Windows 7. So is there a way I can get a similar look in Xp.Actually the reason behind all this is I am removing a third party control suit which I am using right now from one of my program. Doing so will make my form & command buttons look like default .net controls. In windows version higher than XP it would still look okay because of the glassy effect & aero but in XP it would not look great. So I wanted a fix for that.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a shaped form with an attractive shadow effect by painting progressive alpha blended layers underneath the main visible form area (a background mask color has also been set to allow a shaped form). This is going well, but I have one major problem to resolve - the bottom shadow layer does not appear as the correct transparent shade - it always appears solidly as the background color / transparent mask color for the form.
Why does this bottom shadow layer not show up as transparent, and why is this color being shown when it is set as the transparency key for the form (and so should be invisible anyway)???[URL]..
I am working with VS2005 using VB.net I have two project (Project A, Project B), project A is the startup project with form1, while project B is dependent on project A, both under the same solution. I have established the project dependencies so that Project B is now Dependent on Project A. Also i added references to both projects to each other so that i can access controls on Project B forms through Project A (Like changing the value of a textbox on B through A). My problem is that whie trying to access controls on Project B Forms it doesnot show up.

I was able to include (add) an existing project to a current one. I finally got all the references and libraries in place, and everything works great. I decided to move forward with development and started adding some features...much to my surprise, when I debug none of the controls are there (In the form belonging to the added project)...
Do I need to develop the second project from it's original solution (and not from within the combined solution)?
I am trying to update a Vs2008 project to vs2010. In one of my projects I have two controls. The controls are not being seen by the form when I open it up in design view. They are friend controls. (No code has changed since I opened it up in vs2010.) But it was running fine in vs2008.
View 4 RepliesI've searched the whole web (at last where google can see) for a solution, but i just can't find. The problem is the following: I want a list of all controlls in my project, not only on open forms. The reason is that i want to make an access control, and the admin will set which buttons each users can use.

I want to create a table with 2 fields (FormName, ControlName) that consists of all form names and all control names (within that form).[code]...
How do I loop through all forms and controls in my project?
I have a project, that has alot of controls (mostly buttons, arranges in group boxes, withing )Is there an easy way to drag and drop them to another project and maintain control names, so that I can copy all event code etc.?Another question - how can I move controls within tab control's pages? As I recall, cut - paste loses it's event code.
View 5 RepliesI'm developing a solution that I'm going to split into two different directions.I've built custom controls for the first application, and now I'm creating a new solution where I'm importing all the Forms and Modules to the new solution I'm developing by using "Add Existing Item" from the Solution ExplorerWhen doing this, most of the errors I'm receiving I'm able to correct by "Find & Replace" with the new name of the new solution. (They seem to be references to the old name of the solution, that I simply replace with the new name. Example. Global.Xname..... I now replace with Global.Yname.
View 6 RepliesI'm fairly new to VB.NET and I'm currently playing around with user controls, figuring out good programming practices. As far as I understand, to create and use a UserControl, I need to create a project with the UserControl in it, then build the project and use that DLL (add it to Toolbox or otherwise).My question is this: Is there a way a have a project (a Form with a bunch of things on it) that contains a UserControl written in a *.vb file inside that same Project? If you do that, the DLL (in my case) never gets produced, possibly because the UserControl is never used and building it is simply omitted. Is it perhaps a bad practice to do that altogether? It simply makes sense to me to keep a UserControl as a part of the Project that uniquely uses it. Is there a reason not to do that?
View 1 RepliesI have a project solution which consists of few projects including a project which for window controls. In project A, I can import the project control but for another project B, I can't import the project control and cannot access the contains for the project control. May I know why and how to check whether the project control can be imported or not? If the project control is not importable to other project, then why my project A can import that and project B is not able to import that?

So, concering my project: I am trying to control an RC Car via Kinect, until now I got it working with key control only (eg WASD). So, I am using a Velleman K8055 Interface Board + the Kinect and VB Windows Forms. So far, so good, I created 4 Forms: menu, info, kinect-controls + wasdcontrols window. The error only occurs for my kinect-controls window (german name: Steuerung.vb) & that's my source
