Reproduce The FolderBrowserDialog Control Functionality But Not In A Dialog
May 27, 2009
I'm trying to find a way to reproduce the FolderBrowserDialog control functionality but not in a dialog. I'm been looking around for a good part of today for solutions but with very little progress. I found a few writeups on listing folders and their contents in a treeView but nothing about listing everything including "My Computer", "Desktop", etc. This seems like something that would've been built right in to Visual Studio. I'm working with VS 2005.
I was wondering if there is any way to create a FolderBrowserDialog IN the form, not a pop-up dialog.I was looking around and I found that I can do this by the extension provider.I can inherit the FolderBrowserDialog since it's not a control.[code]
I'm creating a BASIC application, and I can't figure out how to save a user selected file (FolderBrowserDialog) to a location selected in another dialog (SaveFileDialog).
I need to extend the functionality of the ToolTip control...Problem: I need to show some introductionary instructions to my users the first time they see a new form based feature in my app. Something along the lines of: '...Welcome to the blah, blah, blah feature. To do this, click that, mouse here, press that so on and so forth...'
Then I want a 'Don't show this again' check box somewhere near the bottom so the 'welcome screen' can be supressed. Currently I'm thinking of loading an app wide form (Public Dim frmMyToolTip as frmToolTip) and using it's .TopMost property to ensure that when I show it, it appears over my modal form (I can Hide/Show at will.) Also without a caption or border, my users can't move it.
As it will be displayed on top of a Modal form, I need a Background worker component to run a timer which will hide the form after a set period. I can store the state of the CheckBox to stop the form from showing next time if user does not require it.
I want to create a User-Control that inherits the functionality of a TabContol.
I begin by starting a new project of the type Windows Form Control Library. Next I place a TabControl on the UserControl designer surface and Dock the TabContol to Fill the UserControl.
I go to the code editor for the UserControl and enter the following line of code.
Inherits System.Windows.Form.TabControl
Then I run the program and get an error. Intellisence recommends that I use one of two recomendation. When I accept the recommendation I and try to run the program the problems esculate.
The design-surface is no longer accessable.
I try to comment out the problem lines of code in the UserControl1.Designer.VB file but that doesn't help.
How can I create a UserControl that Inherits the Properties of the TabControl so that the properties of the TabControl are visable in the Properties Window?
I am trying some Uiculture change functionality. In that I need the name and text of controls in a form to change the culture. I got some Demo project and it is in C#. I tried to make the same functionality with the C#.net and Also using VB.net. But the below mentioned code returns control name with an underscore as prefix. But I don't want underscore. Code is actually written in Class library. It works perfectly in C#.
Code is written below Dim fields As FieldInfo() = form.[GetType]().GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance Or BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly Or BindingFlags.NonPublic)
I am porting a college project made in VB6 to VB.NET, which I am quite new to. I'm finding data bindings a little more frustrating than the ADO controls VB6 had. Here is an example of RecordCount being used in the old code, from the login screen:
Private Sub cmdLogon_Click() If txtID.Text = "" And txtPassword.Text = "" Then
Have you ever seen the whitish glow around the titlebar text in Vista? You know, the feathering around the text that makes it stand out from the Aero glass? Well if you haven't, look at the picture in the attachment. Does anyone have an idea as to how I may reproduce it, specifically draw it around some text on the Aero glass? I already know that the Aero glass can be implemented using some APIs in dwmapi.dll. Are APIs for the glow also in that dll? I'm unable to find any info on how to do this in the official documentation.
I have IE 8 installed on my machine; and trying to integrate the "Caret Browsing" (navigation using Keyboard) concept into application which i am planning to develop.My sample application in VB.NET as follows:Form - Form1Text box - TextBox1A Button - Button1A WebBrowser control - WebBrowser1Added following line of code
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click WebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox1.Text.Trim())
I'm trying to find out how (if it's possible) you can control a button in a dialog dynamically. What I am trying to do is a lot to write, so I am going to use a simple example to get my message across. Here is an example:
I have a small project that requires me to have a font dialog, a color dialog and a print dialog. It has four text boxes that are formatted based on the font from the dialog and the color from the other dialog. I am to print it all out with the same font and color. I have easily put the font in the right place and have the rest of the print set up, but the DrawString wants Brushes.<color> for it's color. How do I make it the same color as in the text boxes? I am not trying to get you to do my HW for me, but everything I see online is the brushes or shapes... if you could suggest something to look into that would be great, but I doubt my grade would be much affected by my printing everything with Brushes.Black like everyone else in the world seems to be doing...
I am working on a MSDN project from 2007 it calls for a Common Dialog Control but I can not find it. Has this been deprecated and/or is there something to replace it? If not how can I access this in VS 2010 for a VB project?
I want a dialog box to have FULL overridable control over all other windows open within my program. I have done this with my about box but have forgotten what I have done to make it have FULL control over the program, that the user has to either to click OK or cancel to move on with the program.I'm pretty sure it was a property I changed, but after searching numerous times, I'm am lost as to what makes it behave in that way.
I'm switching from an MDI approach to switch between pages to a tabbed dialog control. Is there any way to place a form into tabbed dialog control?I'm guessing not, but the next option (and this was suggested awhile ago by JM) is to make a user control. I have ~ 20 some odd forms and making a new control for all of them could be a pain.
I know about user controls and custom controls, but I want to build a control like the Open File Dialog or Event Log Components that don't have UI and just pop to the bottom of the form like the OFD. How do I do this?
The specific features I want to produce is it doesn't place on the form, it places in the little box at the bottom and when CustomUserControl.Show() is called it shows as a dialog boxI'm sorry if I misspelled something or my grammar is wrong, I've never done well in those subjects.
FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() TextBox1.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath If FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath = Nothing = True Then MsgBox("Select your folder..") If FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath = Nothing = True Then Button1.Enabled = False If FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath = Nothing = False Then Button1.Enabled = True End Sub
Do anyone know if its possible to set the rootfolder of a FolderBrowserDialog box to only show my network places (xp) / Network (Vista). It's not available as a Environment.SpecialFolder in vb.net.
like the dialog you get when selecting map network drive -> Browse in windows explorer, see screenshot below.
I'm working a backup program and to determine the destination location, I give them the choice to type it in, or browse to it. Lately, I've been getting this error after they browse to it using the FolderBrowserDialog to set the location and the containing form is closed:
Managed Debugging Assistant 'DisconnectedContext' has detected a problem in 'C:UsersJFVDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projects[backup program]in[backup].exe'. Additional Information: Context 0x792960' is disconnected. Releasing the interfaces from the current context (context 0x7927f0).This may cause corruption or data loss. ensure that all contexts/apartments stay alive until the application is completely done with the RuntimeCallableWrappers that represent COM components that live inside them.
