I am using the DateTimePicker in VB 2008 express. I am making a program for a person who is visually impaired and needs to see BIG WIDE buttons. The drop down button is very slim and I need to know what to do to modify the size of the drop down button itself in the properties. I tried googling this and have run into dead ends.
View 4 RepliesI'm using a ComboBox with the following settings.
Font - 20pt. I need large font because I will use this on a touch screen PC.
AutoCompleteMode - SuggestAppend
AutoCompleteSource - ListItems
How do I make the text in the drop down list as big as in the comboBox? Also, how do I make the drop down arrow wider?
This is in regards to the toolstrip spiltbutton control.
When I click the arrow on the right, not only does the drop down menu show, but the code in the button's click event executes also. How do I make the drop down arrow separate from the button itself?
Is there any way to do it with a standard toolstrip or I should write my own usercontrol for that?Basically, I need a drop-down button with another toolstip as a dropdown.

View 4 RepliesI insert a text box into form1. I move the mouse pointer on top of the text box. I press down on the left mouse button and begin to drag the text box. The problem is when I let go of the mouse button the text box is not dropped. it remain floating around. My only way out of this is to press the escape key which places the text bnox bak to its original location. Thinking that it might be my mouse I tested it in Power point and everything works correctly.

I'm trying to make a little game using VB .NET 2008 Express Edition.The game is comparable to the Everybody Votes channel on the Nintendo Wii (if anyone has ever seen it). You can submit questions to a online database. Then, if the question is accepted, users can vote on it and other accepted questions. The questions are on a timer and when it hits a certain point (after a couple of days or so), the questions can no longer be voted on and the results are displayed. Since the details of the users account, the questions and the results would be in a database online, the program would also track some fun little aspects of their voting habits and stuff.
Onto my question though, how difficult would it be to pull something like this off? Especially for someone with no experience using an online database with VB .NET? I'm not foreign to the basics of VB .NET by any means, I've taken several courses with it in college and worked with offline Access databases, but taking it online is something completely new to me.
