Resize A Text Control Un Run Mode Using The Mouse?
Aug 12, 2009
I am staring on the programming world using VB 2008 express edition, mi project is data acquisition software which today is almost ready to go, but I want to add an extra ornament to the digital value display.I am using textcontrol to display numeric values, and the fixture that I would like to add is to be able to resize the control in run mode using the mouse left click hold down on the edge of the control and just move the mouse and the control expand or shrinks, as the same action as when we want to resize any form.
I'm starting work updating an UI for one of my company's applications and I'm running into a sticky issue. The parent control contains several panels, each of which can be turned on or off depending on user input.
The final panel in the user control contains another user control which gets resizes according to a toggle switch. Essentially, it "opens" up more information.
While the child control (ChildControl) is docked to Fill inside the parent control (ParentControl), when I add height to ChildControl I can't get ParentControl's height to get updated as well. Currently I'm handling the ChildControl.Layout event in ParentControl but I can't seem to reach that code. To resize ChildControl, I'm calling Me.Height += 200 in ChildControl.vb.
I had a project which will have a function to resize the images in the picturebox..i've seen some code snippet in resizing the images. The code works fine but it automatically resizes the image when i run the program..what i need is that the user will be the one who will resize the pictures..does anyone knows how to do this? i'm using vb 2008.
Visual Studio 2010 Windows Applications Visual Basic-- not able to resize or move controls or form with my mouse in designer window. When hover over sizing handles or form edge, cursor changes to double headed area but nothing moves. I can drag controls with mouse onto form. I successfully resized by pressing shift key and using keyboard arrow keys. I am using Toshiba Satellite L665D, Window 7 64x.
I would like to resize a panel at runtime using a mouse.I only need Vertical resizing.So, I have panel1 and docked a label to the bottom of the panel, this will be the drag bar.Now I'm thinking I need to use the mousedown event and capture the Y coordinates of the mouse? On Mouse up set my panel height to those new coordinates?Also, I'm pretty sure my panel won't redraw itself when this is going on. Should I set the panel height while I'm dragging?
Apologies as this has probably been answered a million different times a million different ways already. I'm trying to control the mouse. I wish to move the mouse to a given pixel position (x, y) and cause a click. I don't want this to be limited within a form, as I want to control another application. I'm using VB 2005.
I have a UserControl that contains other controls that I would like to be able to rearrange or resize at design time. So I have a custom designer for the UserControl that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Design.ParentControlDesigner, and I call EnableDesignMode on the child controls from within the designer. That way, at design time, I can drag and drop the child controls to move them, or resize them. But I can also drag and drop the child controls somewhere else on the form that is outside of the original UserControl. Is there a way I can limit the child controls from being moved or resized outside the UserControl?
The GetAsyncKeyState Api does'nt recognizes the mouse wheel rotation, I see.Is there way to control the mouse wheel rotation (always, not only when the pointer is over a form of mine) with a simple API, without to Hook the mouse?
I have set the controls mouse enter and mouse leave events. My problem is that the mouse leave event fires if I mouse over any of the child controls (like the name box for example).What I need is for the mouse leave event to fire when my mouse leaves the entire control, rather than firing when I mouse over any of the child controls. Here are the events as I have them so far:
Private Sub DeliveryControl_MouseEnter(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseEnter Me.removeImage.Visible = True End Sub
I have a user control which contains some textboxes,buttons ,labels and comboboxes . I used that control in a form and inside a split contaier.Splitter can be moved by the user. User control is docked as fill.
Now when user move the splitter the user control size is changes as it is dock fill but the inner controls used in that user control looks like fixed in a single place .It are not moving nor resizing .How to do this .Is there any property to perform thisI already know about anchor property but sometimes it causes overlapping of controls so I can not use it.
I have a document with VBA controls in it that I created in MS Word 2003. After migrating to MS Word 2007, I get the message that "Can't exit design mode because control 'lblEmaillist' can not be created".
After reading through the various forums here and on microsoft.com it seems to be a known problem. I looked at these articles but am still having a bit of trouble...
[URL] refers to the same problem in word 2000 but after following the directions I still am getting the problem.
The problem does not occur when I open the document in MS Word 2007 or MS Word 2003. The problem only occurs when I open click on the link from IE.
I've set up the location as a trusted location in Office 2007 settings so that should not be an issue.
The document in question is being saved in the word 97-2003 format due to the fact that some people here have not upgraded to office 2007. I tried saving it as a .docm for office 2007 but the error message still came up.
Basically what needs to happen is when the user clicks edit onto the gridview and clicks on a certain textbox a javascript calendar popups up and the user picks a date.So far, I can set it statically and the calendar works for that one row, but not the other rows since the ID changes.My ASP Code (id of textbox has been set to txtStartDate):
I've attached a picture of the list view control that I am using. I've been fine until now, I want to save the entire line of items in the list view control (item_description, price) and dump it into the MySQL database to allow tracking of reciepts. The following code that I have saves the first column worth of information, but I cant figure out a way to save the second column (the price)
Dim li As ListViewItem For Each li In ListView1.Items CurItems = CurItems.ToString + li.Text + ", " Next
Oh right, and I'm making it comma seperated values so I can pull it up in a readable format again.
I'm trying to create a toolstrip using the system render mode, but the split button control doesn't look right in Windows 7 It's almost like the drop down button is offset to the right by 1 pixel, or part of the border is missing.
How do i make sure that the changes "done" by a user interacting with a DataRepeater control are reflected in the corresponding database source table? I have used DataRepeater in VirtualMode, do I have to supply my own code that will "actually" make corresponding changes to the actual tables, or is there a way of "configuring" or "binding" the controls on the DataRepeater to the "dataSet" so that the changes made by the user are reflected automatically in the underlying table? Whatever I have tried so far has yielded no results; whenever i edit the data on the control, the actual data is not updated. I attach a file showing the only events under which i have put some code: Load event of the Windows form, and the ItemValueNeeded event of the Repeater Control.
i want to ask about screen resolution and control resize..how can i make my control, like button, textbox, etc resize automatically within any screen resolution?have you guy ever hear about active resize from url...i want my vb net application look like that so if we use ANY resolution, the application we create will not messedit can strecth..i already try dock, anchor, panel, etc, but it cannot work.
I have been searching for code and/or a tutorial on how to proportianally resize controls and fonts. For example if I design a form at 800 X 600 and the user maximizes the form to 1600 X 1200, I need the form and controls to grow to fill the screen almost like a zoom function.
I'm a moderate (self taught) skill level programmer, developing a piece of software to display information on a Large-screen LCD Display using VB.Net 2008 in Visual Studio 2008 Pro, this is a WinForms project targeted for the .NET 3.5 framework.I have a WebBrowser Control (docked into a disabled panel on the form) which is used to playback a powerpoint presentation, on a fullscreen, borderless form.I need this to be resizeable/ movable, depending on the other information I need to display. If I just resize/move the control, but looks horrible, so I would like to animate this resizing.The WebBrowser control will be, by default, in the top right quarter of the screen, resizing to fill the screen as and when needed (so the control will need to scale up in size, and move left at the same time).I've tried to loop through a resize in increments, but the browser resize flickers, although the powerpoint inside it appears to look OK. Is there any way to make this a nice, smooth resize, without the flickering?
I have a user control where in the user control that there are 3 other controls for the PictureBox, button1 and button2.for the PictureBox control I want to resize when the user control in he will change length and width.button1 and button2 whereas only change in the position left alone.I include the following examples in resize images before and after.
I have created a custom Combobox and added it to my toolbox, and it works well. Now I have added a custom ListBox to the same file as the combo box, but it does not show on my designer when I place it. I can however add it at runtime. ''ComboBox <DefaultEvent("SelectedIndexChanged"), _ ToolboxBitmap(GetType(System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox))> _ Public Class ProjectsComboBox Inherits ComboBox ''My Customization [Code] ..... I have tried removing the "DefaultEvent..." and still no dice.
I'm wondering if there is any code that I could use in VB.net so it can determine the computer's startup mode (such as safe mode or safe mode with networking).
i am using visual studio 2005 on win 7 with office 2007. i have developed win application. i am using microsoft activex spreadsheet component in my program. so it automatically creates reference to AxInterop.OWC11.dll When i run program in debug mode (open program and click RUN in toolbar it works) but if i run directly .exe (go to bin elease doubleclick .exe) it give error at loading point of that component. It says "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory has been corrupted." An unhandled exception occurrs.
I have the following code, which I use for in another control and it works fine, although the other control is a custom control that inherits from Control.
Public Class MoveableLabel Inherits Label Const WM_NCHITTEST As Integer = &H84 Const HTCLIENT As Integer = &H1 Const HTCAPTION As Integer = &H2 [Code] .....
why the title has "(con't)" is because of this Form Resize With Control Sizing... almost named it with another thread on here. And I wanted to post, but it was already a 'Zombie Thread'.Thanks to _HAWK_'s post #11, instead of declaring every control I use. Would declaring it an array (fast guess - Label<Array(how many - 1; aka - X)>) work? ... that was probably Java... My point has probably been made, or can I just do Label.Scale(variable)?I had already set my declaration of the form I need to do this on "Resize". I am not quite at this stage yet, but I see this saving a lot of time asking early.
The +1 extra question is:How can I be able to split of a form in 3 unequal sections? The initial form is 800*600-left side has 2 sections, each 400*300 right side is 400*600.I am already using 3 'GroupBox' and it looks ugly because I have each one colored differently.I looked into Splitter and SplitContainter and TableLayoutContainer.
