Is it possible to make a program with visual basic 2010 that does not use the actual form but instead only uses other components (e.g. Message Box) to form a complete program?
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to make the actual tabs different sizes? I just want the tabs themselves different sizes not the whole thing. Seems like the itemsize property does this but it will only allow you to set one size. I want each tab to be a different size depending on its text.

I need to save actual age (in whole years) for future use in the program. The problem is, 'Years' returns a big, fat 0 every time. Changing "Dim years As Integer" to Dim years As String" does exactly the same thing.

View 2 RepliesI have a form with a 4 tab tabControl and each tab has multiple components(textboxes,comboboxes, etc). Is there an easy way to make all the components read only depending on who is logged,so in the code. I would still loke to be able to click on each tab to 'see ' the components on each tabPage.
View 3 RepliesIn Visual Basic 6:
[var = ] Point(X,Y) would retrieve the Color in Long from an Individual Point on a Form or Picture Box.
Components(TextBox, etc) were indexable into an array under one name.
Is there any manner to do any of this in Visual Basic Express? (I have the 2005 Edition.)
I have a TableLayoutPanel that is 1 column wide. In it, I make UserControls to represent components of a color formula.When a user chooses a formula on the left, I call "TableLayoutPanel.Controls.Clear" and then using the data from the formula, set the number of rows and create X many new user controls in a loop and TableLayoutPanel.Controls.Add them.
The problem is, if one keeps this screen open and selects through roughly 60 to 70 different formulas, eventually, without warning, the program will crash in an unhandled exception: Error creating window handle. (There is no debugger breakpoint)What's causing this? Is it a disposal problem? Should I be doing something other than TableLayoutPanel.Controls.Clear? Would you handle building the objects differently? I'm including a screenshot of the screen in question (you can see the usercontrols vertically on the right) and the error box that comes up.
I know lots of you have had problems with the form designer giving errors and refusing to show the actual form, mostly because of some transition in software i take it (i aren't a Full time programmer, its just a hobby.)My problem is similar, vb refuses to show me my form and now i have even more problems.the last thing i did before this happened was try to add an imagebox to the form.Heres a few errors i get:every label i have is no longer declared?event 'load' cannot be found- My other problem is, i managed to close the designer window during this problem and i cant remember how to get it back up

View 3 RepliesI'm attempting to download a file with a custom "message" i.e. with specific bytes sent to a server. I am using the lightweight utorrent setup file which could be easily downloaded with the statement in the first code tag or even using a WebRequest, WebResponse, StreamReader etc. But for some reasons I need to be able to code the "message". I would explain why but that would just be a diversion...Anyway the problem is that the packet gets saved in its native form but I need to be able to save the packet to the actual file without the header and etc. The sample code is in the second code tag.

I'm trying to create a form with a lot of repeated components. I'm making a touch screen control system with a GUI in VB.net. I would like to make it so when a textbox is pressed a form pops up (form1.show()?). This form is basically a number pad. The user can press buttons (0-9) to get the desired integer to appear in a text box in the popup form. When the user presses an "Enter" button, the popup form returns the integer value that was entered to the initial textbox pressed.

i'm setting on error on line where i'm setting the location of x and y. if i remove those lines it works but all the progress bar are shown at same location. Also i want to set the values of progress bar, i was trying this me.controls("Pbar1").value = 100 or PBar1.value = 100 but it doesn't work because in 1st case it doesn't know the control is pbar and in 2nd case it says PBAr1 doesn't exist and won't make the build.

I have a development system and two test systems. My development system is Windows 7 (64 bit). My two test systems are Windows XP (x86) and Windows 7 (x86). I have created a program on the development system mostly in VB.NET 2008 and deployed it. It looks nice on the development system and on my Windows XP system, but when executing the software on my Windows 7 (x86) system, all the form sizes and components somehow grow. To investigate the issue, I moved over the entire project and opened it on the Windows 7 (x86) system to find that the sizes have somehow changed in the designer there as well. I opened up the .Designer.vb files and the sizes there all seem correct. Then I go to the IDE and the sizes are larger than they should be. For example, I will set a form size to 532, 217 on my development PC then it will show up as 709, 267 on the test system. I tried putting in code on my form.load event to set the size to 532, 217 then re-deployed it, but again, it executes and the form is too large.
View 4 RepliesI have a form with about 50 controls on it. labels, check boxes, combo boxes. text boxes and so on. Now I have a image on the back ground of the form and have made the checkbox text with transparent back ground so the picture can show through. the problem is that it is so slow to load. I see each one appearing on the form one by one. I have tried this on multiple machines and it does it on all of them. I have tried making the checkboxes not transparent but it still is slow.
how can I allow the form to load completely before it displays it. This is the initial form that loads and shows up.
i am trying to make a webbrowser in VB2010, but one major roadblock that has been in my way for a while, is the fact that i can't get my bookmarks bar to work
i have no code to show you and i am completely open to ideas as long as i use a toolstrip just make sure that the bookmarks work and they are Saved when the program is closed and opened again.
Notes:
instead of "WebBrowser1" use:
"
CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.AttachedControl.Controls.Item(0), WebBrowser).PutWhateverHere()
"
(i am using a dotnetbar tabcontrol so i need the "AttachedControl")
the toolstrip i am using in this case is called "BookmarksBar" so please don't use "ToolStrip1"
I have a lot of repetitive code that references components of my main form. I wanted to create a separate module (correct terminology?) for all this code to be contained. I cut the offending code and pasted it into my new module, changing each label reference, etc to form1.label.click
Form1 was then underlined and I get this message:Handles clause requires WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types.I think I'm headed in the right direction, but what exactly am I looking for? Here is a sampling of the code that I would like to keep in a separate place other than Form1.vb:

Is it possible to create a stand alone program with VB2010?
I mean, without any presence of an OS, the program will still work...
I am new to the Forum and I hope this is the best location for this thread.I SEARCHed a few threads, but did not see quite what I was after.I am interested in how to make VB 2010 create a NEW COPY of my current project, with a NEW project Folder, New Name, but a copy of all of my forms and modules.
I see that VB 2010 puts my new projects in their own folder in Libraries/Documents/Visual Studio 2010 /Projects.As an example, I am working on a project, and have it a partially completed, partially working mode, and want to save this version before I go on making further additions and modifications to it.
I want the New Version to be the same as the current version, but I don't want any changes made to effect the older version.I could manually copy the current project's folder, but I am not sure what all of the sub folders and files do, or point to, or would otherwise have to be changed.
I'm NOT looking to track each change made in the project. I just want to occassionally have a backup version I can fall back on.I have several VB 2010 texts, but they don't seem to address this question.
What I want to do, is to make VB2010 display a Message Box when both checkboxes are selected. I need this bit of code for a larger project, which about 20-30 people are waiting on me for.
View 2 RepliesOn my program I am trying to make a form that would activate the program.I have the activation codes but when the user enters the activation code in a text box, is it possible that it would erase that activation code or wont accept that activation code again after being used once. Then if the program accepts the activation code can it open the main form (form1) and if the user closes the program and the re-opens the program, is it possible that the activation form doesn't open again and instead, going to the main form. I have this password code:
Private Sub textbox4_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MaskedTextBox1.KeyDown
Static WrongCount As Integer = 0[code].....
Then can there be slashes every 4 characters in the text box?
