Finding The Position Of A Control From The Control Handle.?
Feb 24, 2012I've looked throu all of the SendMessage(messages) but there does not seem to be anything like WM_GetPos.Now I can accomplish through AHK with ControlGetPos, but for the life of me I can not figure out what Win API function they are calling to accomplish this.We have an order entry system we use, that I am trying to automate the printing of our reports (we have 4 per order form) to save time

.net - Control GDI Handle Leak ?
Jul 28, 2009I have a problem with a control leaking GDI handles.
This is the cut-down version of the control:
Public Class FancyLabel
Inherits Label
Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
[CODE]...
When I run the program, the GDI object count is 38. Then I open a form that has only one FancyLabel on it and the GDI object count gets increased to 42. I then close the form and the GDI count falls down to 39 and stays there no matter how many instances of the form I create and close.JV

Get The Handle Of A ComboBox's Edit Control
May 29, 2009I'm inheriting a couple of the common WinForms controls and then manually repainting them so that they will correctly render over a WinForm with the Aero Glass effect enabled. I have this working well with the TextBox. I ran into a snag with the ComboBox though in that it would only repaint some of the control. I fired up MS Spy++ and saw that the ComboBox has an Edit control in it (that's not in it's control collection). I can repaint that Edit box, but I need to get the handle of it and a couple of my attempts have flopped. I found some code that used the FindWindowEx API passing the Comboboxes handle but for me it returns 0.
hwndEdit = FindWindowEx(Combo1.hwnd, 0&, vbNullString, vbNullString)
Basically, I need the handle of the edit control inside the combobox (once I understand how to correct get that then I can get the additional controls in other ones I want like the ListView). Here's the Spy++ screen shots to illustrate (from Spy++ I can see the individual handles).
Handle The Key Down Event Of The User Control

View 6 RepliesTab Control To Handle Child Windows In An MDI?
Nov 6, 2009My application uses an MDI form, and there are instances where the end user will need multiple child windows open at a time. I need an easy way for the user to switch between windows, which made me think of using tabs kinda like Firefox, or like the tabs in the Visual Studio IDE up at the top where you can switch between open forms and code files.
I'm curious if there is a control in .NET that will already do this? I would rather not re-invent the wheel if I can help it. Google has failed me thus far.
Web Browser Control :: How To Handle Popups

View 1 RepliesC# - Control.Invoke Error: Handle Not Yet Created?
Jan 31, 2012I show a waiting form (saying "Please wait...") on a different thread when there is long-running code in some forms (for example, during data loading). I show the form like this:
m_PopProcessingThread = New Thread(New ThreadStart(
Sub()
m_PopProcessingForm = New WaitingForm(m_Message)
Application.Run(m_PopProcessingForm)

The stack trace points to the part of code where I hide the form. How could the handle not have been created, when just before the Invoke call, I loop until said handle is created?
Display Control In .NET That Can Handle Color Codes?
Jun 12, 2011It seems the only options available to do multi-color on a string is either a bunch of label controls cleverly grouped together or to use a RichTextBox and play with the font properties as text is added to the control.
What I am looking for instead is some kind of control that can render some style of control codes out as color. Consider bash codes:
NORMAL='e[0m'
GREEN='e[0;32m'
BLUE='e[0;34m'
echo -e "This text is ${GREEN}green${NORMAL} and this text is ${BLUE}blue${NORMAL}"
In the above, the words 'green' and 'blue' will be colorized with their respective colors. I was wondering if there was a control with some kind of feature like this, or will I have to code something myself?
Note, I only have the Express copy of VB 2010, and I would very much like to avoid third-party controls.

View 3 RepliesAsp.net - Can A Page Raise An Event That The User Control Can Handle
Mar 13, 2009I have done this the other way many times as it makes sense (the page knows about the control as it has been added to the page and can handle the 'child' event)
Is it possible to do it the other way? I think not as the control doesn't know what page it is going to be on
The reason i ask this is that I have a modal popup on the page to ask users to login, and it is only when the user has logged in that I want my user control to go away and execute some code but I am not too sure how to tell the control this has happend?
Handle Events On The Dynamically Loaded User Control?
Jun 20, 2011I have the user control that is loaded dynamically. When the user save the data by clicking on the Save button, a raise event is passed.

RaiseEvent Close(sender, e)
Debug.Print(String.Format("The control {{0}} was closed by {{1}}.", Me.Name, sender.ToString))

In the save button I have called the RaiseCloseEvent as follows:
RaiseCloseEvent(sender, e)
Now, how can I close the user control form? Any Idea? I have used VB.Net language.
Unable To Handle Events When Adding Control At Runtime
Mar 11, 2011I am in need of adding arr of type label at run-time. I am making a program which will retrieve employee name from database in different label. On clicking each employee name (label) it will display all the information about that employee in a msgbox. I use the following code to create the label. Since the number of labels is not fixed I have used an array.
dim withevents lblArr() as Label 'declared in the class
In the subroutine(Form load):
for i as integer=0 to NoofEmployee-1
redim lblArr(NoofEmployee-1)
lblArr(i)=new Label
' I assigned all the necessary property like size location etc..
me.controls.add(lblArr(i))
next
I declared another subroutine:
private sub MyClick(sender as Object,e as EventArgs) **handles lblArr(0).click**
MsgBox("Hello")
end sub
The code doesn't compile since a subroutine doesn't.
VS 2008 WinForms Label Control Handle Focus?
Jan 30, 2011There is a panel which contains 2 components: a label and a TreeView. The hierarchy, obviously, looks like this:panel1 // handles Enter event
- label1
- treeView1
I need to do some UI updates when user starts interacting with any of these 3 controls. My attempted strategy was to catch the Enter event of the panel, which would fire when user clicks a label, or TreeView. This way, I can write only one (1) event handler instead of several. While it worked for the TreeView, it didn't work for the label. When I click the label, I don't get the Enter event on the panel. Whats different about the label control? I could handle the Click event of the label. At the same time, I wonder what the other solutions might be.

I am getting the following error right now when trying to set the cookie from my webbrowser control to the iexplore instance of the popup window that opened.

Handle Value Change Of Control Inside UserControl Inside FlowLayoutPanel?
Apr 30, 2012I am making an invoicing application. I have a label (lblCost) inside of a UserControl (InvoiceEntry) inside of a FlowLayoutPanel (pnlEntries).

Joystick Handle - Use Only The Handle Of The Component?
Mar 23, 2009I wrote an application to handle a joystick with directinput. It works fine if it uses the handle of the main window but it doesnt happen the same if the handle is the one of the component that contains the joystick's operation.
I mean:
main form handle: 15
component handle (which is inside the window and the joystick needs the focus of this component to work): 25
It always work if the handle i initilizate the device is the main form (15).How can i use only the handle of the component?

View 9 Replies'True' Control Transparency - Control With Motion Graphics (simplicity, A 'video Player' Control)
Dec 29, 2010Here's my situation: I have a control with motion graphics (for the sake of simplicity, a 'video player' control) in my project. Think of a PictureBox with constantly-changing images. In front of this will sit a second control (such as a second PictureBox of the same dimensions). The topmost PictureBox will be drawn to in its Paint event.
I need to draw very few elements, and the bottom control is updated much more frequently than I need for this drawing. So these elements are drawn to the topmost control. Think of a news broadcast, where they have live video in the background, with a news channel logo, news ticker, and sometimes gradient visible in front.
I'm trying to create that 'foreground' control, and the closest I believe I have gotten so far is the following:
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
[CODE]...
The 'Opacity' property in the code above is a sort of "scaling factor." The image drawn to the top control may, in different parts of the image, have any alpha value from full transparent to a full 255. This 'Opacity' property is applied to the entire image being drawn, scaling the alpha values of each pixel.
