Make A Movable Widget Within A Windows Form Application?
Mar 8, 2012
How can i best make a movable widget within a windows form application? I wanted a area inside the form where the widgets can be placed / moved, i was thinking something like Windows desktop gadgets, where you can move them around and add/remove them. i was thinking of using a group box to contain each individual widget (notepad, time, calc ect) and a flow layout panel to contain and move all of the widgets.
Also i was hoping there would be a way to actually have icons to press which place the widgets into the flow layout panel.

In VB6 there was a property on the form called movable that if set to false meant that the form could only be moved through code ... just wondering how i can do something like this in .net ... i don't want anything that flickers either like: vb Private Sub Form1_LocationChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.LocationChanged Me.Location = New Point(100, 100) End Sub the above flickers occasionally when the form is moved

The problem has been simplified for the purpose of clarity. I want to make a windows form application that uses an access database. The application will store the list of person's basic details such as name, age and country. The database contains two related tables ie person(id, name, age, country_id) and country(id, country_name) My windows form contains TextBox, DateTimePicker, ComboBox for Name, Age and Country respectively. Now I want to make CRUD operation Programmatically (Not using Visual tools) in the same form with some navigation buttons.

Okay, what I want to do is snap a movable panel to the form, like create a virtual grid kind of thing. The panels can be moved with the mouse and stop moving once the left mouse key is released.For the movable panel I have used a Class, it creates an object called NewComp in the toolbox.
Public Class NewComp
Inherits Panel
Public Sub New()

I have a form that I want to have a control box so you can close it at any time but I don't want it to be movable from its origainal position. It opens maximized and I want it to stay maximized. I've tried all the different FromBorderStyle options in properties and I've tried all the SizeGripStyle properties though I can't say I've tried all the combinations possible between those two but whatever I've tried I can always click on the border at the top and then the form breaks free from its starting position and when it does the vertical scroll bar disappears.
How can I have this form stay in place with the vertical scroll bar and the control box and not break free from its starting position if someone clicks on the border at the top? If I try FromBorderStyle None then I don't have control box to close it. I was looking at the form events list and I noticed when I break the form free by clicking on the border that that is a ClientSizeChanged event.

I have a VB.Net project that I am running from a local server and I need to use the credentials the user is currently logged in with to upload a file to a folder I create on a SharePoint site on the same domain. I can get it to upload if I specify the credentials but it will not work with system.net.credentialcache.defaultcredentials. It just gives me 3 empty strings and I get a 401 unauthorized error.

FormA calls DialogB where user cancels DialogB which exits via ForceTermination(), see insert.Caller FormA check for DialogResult not = OK, which it isn't, and I can see this in debug as Abort(3).However, the code continues merrily along its way until I get a 'null reference' error which I'm trying to avoid via Force Termination().This is caused by the user cancelling DialogB, a selection process to get a database (SQL) instance.[code]
