I need help with the progress bar control. I can only get it to show or display in the Marquee mode, even though I have tried setting it to Continuous and Blocks. I have tried setting it programmatically at run time and in the IDE properties. I get the Marquee style every time no matter what I do. What am I missing here? I must be doing something wrong somewhere!Paul Abell
View 4 RepliesI have created a listbox with several items that when a button is clicked, it opens up the application that uses that file and then starts the file. this all works fine, but I wanted to know if there is a way to show a marquee-type progress bar for each process as it's being opened?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If CheckedListBox1.SelectedItem = "ITEM ONE" Then
Process.Start("c:\DIRECTORY\ITEMONE.exe")
End If

View 1 RepliesI'd need to show an image in fullscreen mode on my application when a music-file is being played. Is it possible to define a form and an image (picturebox) to be shown as a maximum size on the screen?One thing that makes it even more interesting is that I'd need to show it as a fullscreen mode on a external screen.
I can move the form to external screen like this:
Form3.SetBounds(2000, 112, Form3.Bounds.Width, Form3.Bounds.Height)

I have a form-based application, that until recently displayed the controls on the form when in Design. For the last week or so, when I go to Design mode for the form, it is blank. However, the program does work correctly. And, I can see the control definitions in form.designer.vb. How can I get my form to display the controls again so I can add/move/change it going forward?

View 2 RepliesI have a listbox which works perfectly fine in regular mode. I'm experimenting with the other modes which allow you to switch font.
As soon as I go to ownerdraw mode, either variable or fixed, it is blank when I try to add items to to it. It throws no error but just doesn't do anything. There has to be something else I have to do, to tell it how I want to display it. But I don't know what. I'm using version 2003 of .NET I'm using "Items.add" to add items.
I'm using this line to set font :
lbox.Font = New Font("Arial", 8.25, FontStyle.Bold, GraphicsUnit.Point, Nothing)
Then I'm setting it unbold later.Why is it working perfectly fine without owner draw? Granted it isn't changing the font but it's working fine. What do I have to do to make it work otherwise, so that I can change the font?It's pretty much a standard listbox, without many changes made to the properties.
I'm new to VB and I'm using vb 2005 to build an application. I need to do an application that when I click on the button, the display mode will be changed. For your info, I have install clone graphics driver. So I need when I click on the button, the display will switch from clone to extended mode.
View 3 RepliesIf i try
ListView1.Sorting = SortOrder.None
ListView1.ListViewItemSorter = Nothing
ListView1.Items.Insert(0, "0")
ListView1.Items.Insert(1, "1")
ListView1.Items.Insert(0, "2")
ListView1.Items.Insert(1, "3")
If ListView1.View is SmallIcon , LargeIcon or Tile it dont work (Display 0 1 2 3). If it's in List it works (Display desired 2 3 0 1).
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 work for a shop that maintains a fairly new app. The app still has its fair share of bugs, with numerous tickets coming in daily. The error information we're given with those tickets is not as useful as it might be because the application was compiled in Release mode, which I read is smaller and faster (makes sense).
Are there any ramifications to deploying a .NET application to production that was compiled in Debug mode? I would expect it would be a bit slower, but I've read the difference is nominal. This would assure us that when we get errors on tickets we have line number associated with those errors and this, of course, makes debugging much easier. major red flags that would prevent you from doing this? I'm tasked with researching the possibility.
This is applicable to C# and VB.Net. I am writing a console application, but one aspect of it I want to make representable in a GUI (that being downloads running, with progress bars). is it possible to write a console mode application that can also have a form in it that can be called from code inside the console component?

I've got a form that has a ProgressBar on it. The Style is set to Marquee. In the Form.Shown event handler, I call BackgroundWorker. RunWorkerAsync(). In the old version, while this is occurring in the background, the ProgressBar is scrolling, which is exactly what I want.I copied over not only the code from within the file (i.e., the logic code) but also the code from the designer file. So, from what I can tell, there should be NOTHING different between the two files. However, in the new version, the marquee scroll doesn't occur.
View 6 RepliesIs it possible to have the title bar of your application be a marquee? The only way I know of to make a marquee currently is this:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Label1.Left = Label1.Left - 10
[CODE]...
All that does is make "Label1" move from right to left across the form.. is having a marquee in the title bar possible?
I wanted a ProgressBarStyle.Marquee animation while a query is running. I don't want the user to think the application is locked up. it's really not progress just MarqueeAnimation. the issue I have is it's not running as a thread or in the background.

Intent: To teach the user how to create a control that scrolls text at an adjustable speed across the control.What you'll need:Visual Studio.NET (2002 or 2003) - The version I built this with is 200325 Minutes of free timeI don't remember what prompted me to create this control, except that I was sitting at my desk one day and thought to myself?
1. First open the Visual Studio IDE.
2. Select 'New Project'.
3. From the project languages, select 'Visual Basic'.
4. From the project types, select 'Windows Control Library'.
5.Once the initial project has finished loading there's a couple of things that you may want to do first. The first one being, change the control name to something that means something. "UserControl1" just won't do, so in the 'Solution Explorer' right click on the "UserControl1.vb" file and click 'Rename'. Without removing the '.vb' file extension, type the name of the control. In this case lets call it 'ScrollingMarquee.vb'.
6. Now back to the control design area. Add a timer control to your project from the toolbox. Set the enabled property to 'True' and set the interval to 100. Right click on the control area (the actual control itself, not the timer) and click on 'View Code'. This will take you to the code area of project.
7. Enter the code as is written displayed below.
Code:Imports System.DrawingImports System.Drawing.Drawing2DImports System.ComponentModel
Public Class ScrollingMarque Inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
[code]....
Just want to make sure that each time we move the control or resize it,'it re-renders correctly.Invalidate()End SubEnd Class8.Next select 'Build -> Build ScrollingMarquee'.9. Once you have any bugs worked out (there shouldn't be any, but in case there are), you can change the build mode to release and rebuild the control for use in your projects.
I have the following sub that displays the progress (the Animation speed is 50 - but I've tried with other values)
[Code]...
I should mention that the control is created dynamically and placed on a dynamically created TabPage that in turn is added to the main tab control that is on the static form (Form1) that is refreshed - but I do believe that 'Refresh' should ripple though to all sub controls?
I'm using Windows XP and VB.net 2005. I've search for information on how to use the BackgroundWorker to display a ProgressBar during a process and thought I had it correct, but appearently I don't - the bar never shows, much less moves. My goal is to have a Marquee Style progress bar display while my code is looping thru a query result populating a datatable that a DataGridView is binded. Here is my code.
