View 2 RepliesI have UC that inherits a textbox. It is meant to only accept numeric values. I want to be able to add a property to give the end user the choice of setting the FORETCOLOR to another color other than that which they have chosen for the normal FORETCOLOR settings. Is there some line of code that will allow me to access FONTCOLOR dialog box when a user clicks the FORECOLORNEGATIVE property setting in the Properties settings?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to create a custom control and put three of them on the main form of the project. I have the control made, but I can't figure out how to add it to the toolbox.
Note: I am using Visual Studio 2010 EXPRESS EDITION. I don't know if this matters for something like this, but I thought I should probably mention it.
I know how to get a user control into the toolbox, but is there a way to get it to be part of vb.NET's startup as a permanent control? In other words, if I start vb.NET and begin a new project, it would be nice that the custom control is already available without having to load its dll each time I start a new project.
View 3 RepliesI am building an application in VS2008 (VB.NET) that contains several user controls. When I was developing under VS2005, all the components in my application would load into the toolbox so I could access them during design.
Since upgrading to VS2008, however, those application-based components do not load, and I cannot access the user controls I have built.
1. Exit Visual Studio
2. Navigate to %USERPROFILE%AppDataLocalMicrosoftVisualStudio9.0
3. Delete the TBD files found there (these are hidden by default)
4. Re-start Visual Studio and open your WPF application - the toolbox will now be reinitialized
and that worked for one session, but it did not get preserved -- when I shut down and came back into VB.NET, the application-based controls no longer loaded.
Is there some setting in VS2008 that I am missing? Or is there another step to getting the app-based controls to reappear each time I load the development files?
I would like to be able to set Control visual properties such as color, boarder, flat style, etc. on the base class of the control so that as I add new instances of the control, each instance inherits the visual properties of the base. I have tried using Application Settings but it appears as though I need to reference an application setting manually each time I add the control to a form. This is a Windows Form question.
View 4 RepliesI've got an existing asp.net project written in vb.net. Another person has written a user control in c#.
let me know the steps for adding that C# user control to the vb.net app?
I've tried copying them to the folder and using "Add existing item", however it doesn't compile the code behind at all.
Does VS 2008 have a control availible like the toolbox control from within the studio? I've looked through the list in the toolbox for choose items and am not finding it, but since I don't know what it would be called I might be over looking it.
View 3 RepliesCan a custom control NEW Sub be the only one that executes when Inheriting from an existing control please?I am Inheriting from TabControl and I do not want the base New Sub called, is this possible?In other words, I do not want TabPage1 and TabPage2 to be added.A Form has an Activated Sub which runs once a Form is activated.It is a pity that Microsoft have not got such a method in the baseControl Class otherwise I could have used it within a custom TabControl.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Activated
End Sub
[code]....

View 2 RepliesI have an aspx page that has two different user controls. I want to find user control A and be able to set properties, etc., from user control B.
I was thinking I could do something like this:
Dim CMFilters As Control = Me.Parent.FindControl("CMFilters")
...but that doesnt work to be able to set properties and call methods. I somehow need to get the user control and and declare it as that user control type.

View 1 RepliesI made a custom control that is a 15x15 grid designed to show a tiled map. Inside I have a class that inherits from pictureBox. The problem comes when I try to place my DLL inside the toolbox. When I click "browse" and select my DLL to import it simply import my class inheriting pictureBox instead of the whole package.
Here is a picture of my files. Grid.vb is the control, clsTile is the pictureBox class and the other one is irrelevant. [URL]
Does anyone know an easy way to produce a "Common Tasks" menu similar to the one in My Computer, Control Panel etc..I can't seem to find a control in the toolbox and it would be insanely useful for the app I'm currently writing.
