Give Users The Option Of Choosing A Custom Color For Text?
Jun 22, 2010
I have made my program but I want to give users the option of choosing a custom color for text. I have an inputbox that works and then converts it to Color.whatever. But seeing as the user types in what they want and it is not done by the program itself it can throw exceptions.
Dim directresponse As String
Dim actualcolor As String
Dim isgood As Boolean
[code]....
That is my Sub, it will make Color.(userinput) but I need to check if Color.(userinput) is actually a color that VB.NET can understand and add set.
I have tried "System.Drawing.Color" I get told it is a type and cannot be used in this context.use System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor to convert it to a color and check if it is real and then set it.
I am new to vb.net and I have looked at other topics. I cannot find the answer I need. OK I have a combobox named cboRaceDesc and five checkboxes (CkRaceAfricanAmerican, ChkRaceAmerican Indian, ckRaceAsian, ckRacePacificIslander, and ckRaceWhite). I was going to post an image, but I cannot.cboRaceDesc has two options...Hispanic and Other. If the user selects Other then they have to choose one of the five checkboxes or it will raise an exception when the record is being saved. I am assuming I would generate the code under the "save" button. I know I need to gather the following information in my code:
If cboRaceDesc.SelectedValue = Other Then <I am not sure how to code the logic regarding the checkboxes> <I know I need to use multiple else/else if statements> <I know towards the end I would generate the exception> End
Can anyone help me fill in the blanks or point me in the right direction?
I am working on an application that I want to give the User the option of using a password and sign-in or not. I have added three items to the "Settings" , these are:
1) SignInRequired (True or False)
2) UserID (string)
3) Password (string)
My problem is that I'm not sure where I should put the code. Should I use a module and set it as the opening form, or shall i put the code in the first form the viewer sees, which I tried and due to other situations the form has several different appearances, a this is causing a problem.
I got a combobox which is filled with values from datasource. By default the first value is chosen which is fine but I need to display "Choose country" as the default combobox text. The user then can choose from the drop down list.
I'm making a speed game in VB.Net (Console Application) and users have a certain time to press a certain key. So how can I give the Console.ReadKey function a timeout without just waiting until a key was pressed?

I created an application in VS2005 that draws text with a custom font and color. The images look great from my XP machine. But from another machine running Windows Vista, the graphics are messed up. It seems that the transparencies inherit the default black background so there's this gray'ish/black haze around the text...
I want to make a richtextbox what can show you diffrent colors.I've already managed how to give 1 line a special color, but I want to know how to give everyword in a sentence a diffrent color.
as example in a line on my textbox: Hello World, I want to show this diffrent colors in my richtextbox - who knows how to make it? This is the code I have to color just once line of the textbox.
I have a array of pixels. And I would like to Quantize them.
For Example
FF00FF,00FFFF stuff like that, but most are custom colors and are not a standard 256 color palette. So I need code to convert a color to a 256 color. I dont have any idea on how to do this, but thats why I came here. I do not want to use System.Graphics.Image.Palette or anything like that as this project uses arrays for images. I would like to if at all possible be able to convert a R, G, B color to 8bit, 16bit, 256bit and possibly use the HSL or NeuQuant method or something close to that, or maybe even some other methods of doing it. I do need to be able to do this for a single pixel, but I will also need a method for a array of them.
I'm working on Visual Studio 2010 and I have a Visual Basic 2010 Windows Application. I have a DataSet and in my form i want to give the user the option to "filter" the data he sees on the screen. So, for example, I have:
"Choose Bank Name" - TextBox1 "Choose Car Type" - TextBox2 "Choose Agent" - TextBox3 And so on (9 text boxes more)
Now, the user can filer the bank name and agent only, but he can leave them blank and I want the app to generate an SQL Statement and to change the dataset in real time. I know how to generate the SQL Statement, but i don't know how to change the data set sql string in real time.
1st label is "Clock" this pulls the time from the users current time zone/local time
2nd label is "UTCClock" Which would be UTC time
Now I have this for the first label: clock.Text = Format(TimeOfDay, "hh:mm:ss tt")
Which would give the users current time zone/local time. As for the UTC.. how would I add in for the UTC time from where the user is located at? I did some searches.. but couldnt find what I was looking for.. IM pretty sure its not as easy as getting the users current time zone/local time.. So im assuming that Theres a "bit more" code into getting UTC time..
I would like to use a full range of possibilities for a color, such as 255,255,255 instead of predefined colors, like red. How can I do this in code. Me.backcolor=?
I want to be able to use like a dropper to select a color that would display a html code output of the specified color picked. It would show the preview of the colors your scrolling through in the oval and a preview of what the color would look on text on a black background in the html section as html code. Unfortunantly I have no idea what the hell I'm doing, lol. I have been able to program simple programs that insert text in a text box pretty well including multiple colors of the text. But this is what I'm working with
Basically this is the whole form, theres obviously going to be a lot more which I'll try and figure out on my own. But this is basically whats going on with it. the color chooser button with have the dropper icon on it when I get the chance to add it.
I am new in visual basic and I came up with a problem. I have text file with names in it and I want in a textbox everytime the user hits a button randomly choose a name from it.
I have a form with multiple checkboxes what I would like to do is to have it that if someone selects any combination of the checkboxes they could save those selections by pressing a button named save options or something to that affect it would then save those selections then they could load them by pressing another button load options and run them with another button named run options (or the box that loads could run too) not sure the best way to do it the goal is ultimately to have a button that allows the state of the checkboxes to be saved and then run as a custom option.
how would I do this I cannot find anything on the Internet ?
How do I add a opacity option to my custom control... I dont know what to do an I have googled multiple times but it must be possible somehow. but how. Does anyone know how? just for refrence I have no code on this bar my custom control.
I am currently hosting an IE Browser control in a .NET (2.0) Form and using it to load Office files such as Excel and Word thusly:[code]The hosting and loading works well except whenever I navigate to a file I am presented with a dialog that asks whether I want to save or open the file. (This is standard IE file-download behavior.) I always want to open it of course and I do not want the dialog to show.Another issue is that when I close the window that hosts the IE control and the Office doc the document does not close and remains open on disk. This means that subsequent attempts to open the same file via my app or the native office app will fail because of the sharing violation.Is there a programmatic way of avoiding this dialog and cleaning up resources afterward? I am asking for a programmatic answer because web research has only yielded solutions that entail modifying OS-level settings.
Host an Excel spreadsheet inside my application.Work rather transparently (avoid usability issues like the one described above)Avoid having to make any OS-specific changes that may affect other applications (especially icluding IE)Is zero additional cost (no licensed 3rd party libs please) Code Project and other open source resources are OK.Not mess around with the DSO Framer ActiveX control, unless a stable version is developed/discovered

I'm developing a "small" warehouse-management WebApplication for few users(5-10 parralel) but with a complex authorization system(checking if pages,menus,TabPanels, UserControls and even single controls are visible or enabled) and permanent and frequent access. Because i've only limited experiences with the ASP.Net MembershipProvider, i'm unsure what's the best approach for following goal:
I want to hold all users, roles and frequently used masterdata in the Cache(in a Dataset). Hence every readonly access should be faster and causes less traffic than always using the database. On updates,deletes and inserts i would update the cached dataset and also the database.
Can i use or extend the SqlMembershipProvider to achieve this goal and if possible how?
I am using .NET 1.1, so I don't have the access to listitem object. I would like to change the text color or the background color of certain items in a listbox. can it do it in .NET 1.1?
A user places the cursor in a table cell and clicks on "Table > Background Color" to edit the current background colour.Currently I have been able to detect the current colour (for instance a light blue) and set that colour in the ColorDialog (Colour swatches are correct and RGB values are correct).What I would like to do is enable the user to click on the "Add to Custom Colors" to save the colour. Problem is, it sets the first square in the custom colours area (which happens to already be filled in with another custom colour), rather than finding the next square that is white and set it there instead.
this up but this line below seem to be the problem this sentence (Textbox1.Checked) its supposed to add all the numbers up and give total in a input box under the score line is the complete code sorry for wrecking anyones head cause mine is demented

i wrote a custom attribute and got the following Color property that I want the user to be able to indicate the color property in the attribute on a class:
Private _ColumnColor As System.Drawing.Color Public Property ColumnColor() As System.Drawing.Color Get
The Cursor Class Does Not Support Color cursors. Anyone know how to get around this so I can use my custom embedded color cursor? If you want something you've never had, you need to do something you've never done.
