Make Customized Borderstyles, Create 'raised Area' Looks?
Jul 12, 2010
I've been working with System.Drawing for awhile and like to think I have a good handle on it; I've created classes that draw grids, write text in gridboxes and rectangles, convert rectangles to circles, fill areas with color, etc. What I don't have is any sense of artistry at all, and I don't have the slightest clue how one would use System.Drawing to draw a rectangle and then color/slope the edges so that it looks like a System.Windows.Forms.Button would, or how to make it look like it's inset deeper than the surrounding Form, like setting a Panel's BorderStyle to Fixed3D.

Drawing text on a picbox I notice if the picbox has a border style set then the TextRenderer.DrawText rectangle area needs to be adjusted slightly otherwise text may be drawn very near the picbox borders and the text doesn't look as clean, but I'm not sure what those offsets should be, I hard coded them in, see code under "' area to draw". btw, the code draws the first word of text in bold and then the other words as regular. 'One button, One picture box needed.

Suppose I have a Microsoft Expression Blend. Is it possible to create a custom control (such as a button) in MSE Blend and then import it to visual basic 2010?For example, I want to create a custom shape button (different from what is available in the toolbox in VB2010) (like for example a pen-shaped button) in MSE Blend. Can I import it to VB2010 to be used with Windows Forms Projects? If yes, how?

I'm attempting to create a customized dictionary object, because I want to add some code to the Add routine, and I can't just inherit because Add is not overridable.
So I'm creating a class that implements IDictionary. Already I am confused, because Dictionary implements a lot of interfaces, listed below:
Implements IDictionary(Of TKey, TValue), ICollection(Of KeyValuePair(Of TKey, TValue)), _
IEnumerable(Of KeyValuePair(Of TKey, TValue)), IDictionary, ICollection, _
IEnumerable, ISerializable, IDeserializationCallback
But IDictionary inherits ICollection and IEnumerable, so why implement all three (and don't they have overlapping methods)?
#2, when I implement IDictionary, the code fills in two Add methods (one for the ICollection add of a keyvaluepair, one for the Idictionary method). Apparently both these add methods are required for Idictionary, yet a regular dictionary (which implements IDictionary) only has one Add method that I can see. I actually would like to have only one Add method if possible. Why am I being asked to make two (and that's before all the other interfaces have been added)?

I've read many articles on how to create transparent labels but it seems to me that my particular case is not covered. Very simply I have a label placed in the upper right part of the form, which in fact is part of the menu strip. The label displays some info to the user but I wish it were transparent. I've tried various methods including
lblAct.Parent = mnuMain '(or Me)
lblAct.BackColor = Color.Transparent
lblAct.BringToFront()
But cant get it to work. How I can make that label in that position transparent?

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 have a program with the ability to save view and scan images. i am currently working on making work area's. so i have two list box's. listbox one is for the image area name. listbox2 is to list the pages in selected image area (mouse click). i have created the form to show you and i will post a link below. i have started trying to do it but have got stuck. i use an input box to give the image area's names. but thats as far as i have got at the min.
i need to be able to make image area's and list/view the images in my picturebox. plus i would like to create a folder or how ever many the user makes behind the scene thats called whatever the image area is called and in that folder is the images the user has saved in that folder. sorry if this is hard to understand. i have asked on another forum but i didnt get what i wanted it to do.

i have gave you a link so you can see what my form looks like so you have a slight understanding on what i want it to do. its work in progress so sorry if it looks rubbish.

Make a folder, based on an input file - example :
You have a file named Movie1.avi on your desktop, u open up the program (that I want to make) and then simply drag drop that file into a box area, and then the program will create a folder, with the same name as the input file, but without the extension (folder name Movie1) and then automatically put that file into the folder it just created.
The new folder will be created in the same dir as the input file.
Multiple file support - is NOT needed.
I know how it will be done, but I don't know the code..

I am trying to create a report that will give me the area of multiple polygons on a layer. There will be an unknown number of layers and polygons. I was thinking I could use a multidimensional array with each row holding the layer name and the area of that polygon then loop through and separate the layers and sum the areas. My problem is that in all the reading I�ve done on the subject I�m not sure of how to initialize the array.

Trying to set the viewable area to a smaller screen area and have it cycle through as the person moves using collision detection to move the backgroudn image. Here is the start but its off to a bad start so far.
Public Class Form1
Dim Mapx As Integer = 600
Dim Mapy As Integer = 2000
[code]....
Basically the forum size is set to 600x2000 but the client should only allow you to view 600x600. I want it to add +1 once you "collide with a invisable box I'll add and this will redraw the screen.

I designed a form and managed to fit graphics inside it. Picture box is 465 pixels high. Form1 is 500 pixels high. SnapShot of the screen verifies that the 500 pixel height is the overal height. It includes the upper Bar and lower frame. Is there an instruction to set the From's inner pixel size and not overal?

I'm looking to create a simple program with 1 text field, 1 button, and an area to display what is happening and if there were any errors.My goal is to be able to delete user profiles stored on a network drive by simply putting in the users ID and hitting the button.I'll use my own id as an example:If I put mdesieno in the txt box and hit the button, I'll need the button to map to the network drive and delete mdesieno.corp and mdesieno.v2 I would like the bottom half of the window to display text like:
"Deleting User Profile mdesieno.corp" SUCCESSFUL
"Deleting User profile mdesieno.V2" SUCCESSFUL
To me this seems pretty simple, but as I said, I do not know VB yet. Is there code out there that is already written to do something like this?

Having a slight permission problem with Win 7 I am guessing it will be the same on Vista but work fine on XP (yet to try)But my program is sitting in: C:Program FilesCompanyProgram And its trying to create new files alongside itself in the Program Files area but bombing out which I know is permissions. If I go there to create the file myself it comes up with a UAC prompt and when I hit allow it works fine but obv the program can't do that byiteslf so bombs out.Is there anyway I can over come that without the user having to grant admin rights to the program each time it starts or do I have to write data to another place?

At the top of my form, I have a status strip with the common "Window" dropdown that is seem in many commerical and Windows Applications. What I am attempting to do is the same that can be done in VB2010 itself. In Visual Basic, clicking the Window Dropdown allows you to choose which window is active. My whole point on this is that they are using a customized Image.Here is an image example from a program called Paint.NETIn the area of the dropdown, you can clearly see that the "Checked" images are customized. For example, Tools is showing the hammer with the glass button frame over it.What I want to know is how would I achieve this customized image set? I already know I would need at least 2 images, one for checked, one for unchecked.
