View 4 RepliesFor my own amusement more than anything I am trying to create a program that has a world map then when you click on each country it leads to another form. At the moment I have the World Map as a background image on a forum, The only way I can think of at the moment is to have picture boxes but the countries are too packed together for this to work effectively and I believe that you can have transparent backgrounds on picture boxes.

View 13 RepliesMay I ask a suggestion about this datagrid. I have this datagrid but it has so many column and I am going to total each and every column. If I am going to put a textbox or label, it'll be kinda difficult because it will not align to the column. Any solution you may suggest?
Another thing is this form for Daily Income. I want the form at the back (Main Form) not clickable unless I closes the Daily Income Form. So that the Daily Income Form will not go at the back of the Main Form. It is like you were saving a file on a text editor that you can't click the window behind it.
I have a DataGridViewImageColumn with an image in it I would like to make the only area to perform a function of mine when I click it. I can click the row and get it to work but can't seem to only make just the imagecloumn the clickable region.
So as an example I have
Private Sub dgrdStatus_CellClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles dgrdStatus.CellClick
MessageBox.Show("You chose " & dgrdStatus.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("columnCustomerName").Value)
Works for the whole row, my issue is I only want to be able to click the imagecolumn to do this. Guessing I am missing the right item similar to dgrdStatus_CellClick but can't quite pinpoint the fix.
I've search for hours on Google but could find a solution.want a clickable area (that can handle MouseClickEvent, DoubleClickEvent, etc...) that is transparent, hence you can look through it.For example:I have Form1 with a bunch of buttons, text fields, etc. I want a clickable area that is over the whole Form1 (thus over all the buttons, etc).If you click this area, the clickEvent for this area should be could and not the eg: button underneath this area.Most importantly of all the area must be transparent, thus all the buttons, textfields, etc underneath the clickable area should be visible. Something like a panel or pictureBox that you could put over the buttons would be ne, but a if you drag a panel/pictureBox over a button, the button is invisible, and if you say send to back, the event of the button will be called and not that of the clickable area.

I want the same structure except that instead of URLs I want to display some text when clicking on a word. So my question is : Is there a control for this kind of use?

snake.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(Math.Round(halfWindowWidth / 10) * 10, Math.Round(halfWindowHeight / 10) * 10)
snake.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(10, 10)

If you are using VB.Net 2005 or earlier. It was asked if a control can be made star shaped in this thread. [URL]. Then I have updated my Shape extension method to include a optional third parameter. The 3d parameter is indent percentage or indentPercent. The default is zero so there is no indent. If you indent by say 50% you will get a star shape.
The various ways you can call this extension method are;
'Please note: myControl may be any kind of control
'such as a Button, a PictureBox or whatever.>>
Dim myControl As Control = New PictureBox()
'Defaults to 6 sides with no rotation angle.>>
myControl.Shape()

View 2 RepliesI am trying to make a shape move in a rectangular route clockwise. Right now I am only able to make the shape go right, down, left but not back up again. Whenever I try to make the shape return to its original position, the shape moves back up at the wrong place.
Public Class Form1
Public movingright1 As Integer
Public movingdown1 As Integer

In addition to the shapes you can create with the code from this thread. [URL]. Here is code to make a control or a Form into a vertical cross shape. This will show you how you can do it in Vb.Net 2008 and 2010 using extension methods. The following post will show how you could do it differently in Vb.Net in other versions as well as Vb.Net 2008 and 2010.
1) From the PROJECT menu select
ADD MODULE.
2) In the NAME box type
CrossShapedThings.Vb and then click on OK.
3) PASTE this code in.>>
Option Strict On
Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices
Module CrossShapedThings
<Extension()> _
Public Sub MakeCrossShaped(ByVal aControl As Control, Optional ByVal CrossWidth As Integer = 10)

I can get a shape to go down and reappear at the top but I can't figure out how to get it to work going up.This is my code for going down:
If shpBar.Top + shpBar.Height < Me.Height Then
shpBar.Top += 50
Else
shpBar.Top = 0
End If
Currently I'm trying to make multi selection (draw shape) on the picturebox but no matter how i edit my code, it jus dn draw any square or circle when I click on my button (either circle or square).
Below are the codes that i'm currently working on:
Public Class Page_2
Public blnCircleClicked As Boolean 'Is The Circle Tool Clicked?
Public blnSquareClicked As Boolean 'Is The Square Tool Clicked?

View 7 RepliesI've got a strange thing goin on here. I'm designing a small program with Visual Studio 2010 using WPF and VB.Net but for some reason, all my buttons and checkboxes (didn't test more items) aren't clickable anymore! Even if I drag a pretty new one out of the VS-Toolbox! They've got all "IsFocousable" and "IsHitTestVisible" and "IsEnabled"-Setting set to "True". Does someone has an idea to fix that!?
View 1 Replies[code]I can't figure out how to make those pictureboxes in flowlayoutpanel clickable. Any example will do - opening it in default picture browser, using it as panel background or using it as a picture for separate picturebox - anything will do - I simply do not know how to get the file name assiciated with the particular picturebox in the flowlayoutpanel.

I monitor door cameras with a third party application that gives me multiple video windows for the various video inputs in the card. I want to create an application that will overlay the video windows so that each video window becomes a button I can click on to trigger some events (lock release for example).
I've managed to get something working by using the TransparencyKey of the form set to the backcolor of my button. I though I had it done, a great transparent button in the form, and handles all my click. However, there's a little issue with portability... it won't work if I have the Windows Classic theme enabled.
One of my systems is locked down with the windows classic theme. With the Windows classic theme (whether running XP or Vista), the transparency works a little too well, the mouse clicks actually go through to the underlying window and the click event never gets triggered on my application's button.
Button1.BackColor = Color.Cyan Me.TransparencyKey = Button1.BackColor

Something like a panel or pictureBox that you could put over the buttons would be fine, but a if you drag a panel/pictureBox over a button, the button is invisible, and if you say send to back, the event of the button will be called and not that of the clickable area.I want the blue area (in this case a picture box) over ALL the buttons and textboxes, so that if you click this blue area a function should be called. This area should actually not be blue, but transparent/colourless, so that you can see the buttons underneath. If I say send the picturebox behind the buttons, then when I click on a button, the button's function is called and not the picture box's function as I want it.It is impossible for me to change all the event handlers of the buttons/textboxes etc, because I also use components that don't have the necessary event handlers that I want.
