View 7 RepliesI guess thats what I need to do, Im trying to allow the user to right click on the top of my form, and my custom Context Menu Strip is displayed, not windows context menu strip. I guess somehow i would need to get the size and draw a rectangle on the non client area and see if the user has right clicked in that rectangle? if so how would I get the area of the non client area?

View 7 RepliesI am working on a library of controls that clone Office 2010's Ribbon interface and theme. One of the controls will inherit the form control and will modify the ribbon to implement Aero Glass. This is what I have so far... In order to get the same look and feel, I've extended the aero glass margins exactly far enough to get this effect for the top 50 or so pixels. The ControlBox property is set to false, so that there's not an extra 30 pixels at the top that I don't do anything with, but now I need to get the

My VB.NET app supports several kinds of MDI child forms. Some kinds, but not others, are 'troublesome' -- they cause the focus mechanism to become weird. Once a 'troublesome' child form has been opened, NONE of the MDI child forms will become activated unless I click on either the title bar or the border. Clicking in the client area does not activate the child form -- its title bar remains gray, and it does not receive Activate or GotFocus events. Strangely, however, the clicked-on form actually DOES receive the focus, because its controls receive mouse and key events. Only the Z-Order and the highlighting do not change.
Once this problem develops, it persists even after the 'troublesome' form is closed, and it affects child forms which are opened afterward. However, if ALL of the child forms are closed, the problem clears up, and new child forms behave normally -- until the next 'troublesome' form appears.
I have no idea why one kind of child form is troublesome, and others are not.

View 4 RepliesI have a picture box on a form that changes size as needed. Both by resizing the form and by code.How can I resize the form automatically if I resize the picturebox in code. The client area of the picture box should not be clipped.Right now the picture box is set to dock fill, but if the code resizes it, the form does not follow it. Is there a binding somewhere I can use?

What is the correct way to find the client area of the webbrowser control, WITHOUT the scroll bars ?
Any area/rectangle I get from the control seems to give me the entire control size, including scroll bars wether they are there or not.
I have tried detecting whether scroll bars are present and finding how wide they are to subtract from the entire control width, but have found no reliable way to acheive this.
I am trying to find the actual size of the window I can see if when the web browser control is showing the web page, not including the scroll bars.
I have 4 textbox for X, Y, height and width.. and 1 picturebox where the image load in..

[URL]...The link above is a thread showing the application I'm working on. (2008 Pro)I have since created an MDI Parent form which holds my 16 camera forms. What I am having trouble with is dividing the MDIParent's Width and Height by 4, to display 4 equal height/width camera forms within it.
I've tried all the available properties (Rectangle, ClientArea, etc) and none seem to calculate correctly.Using Me.Width and Me.Height ALMOST worked, but again, it was about an inch too skinny and short.
What do I need to do in order to retrieve the exact size of the MDIParent's Client Area?
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?
View 2 RepliesI like to compress the xmldata before the data is provided to the client as an excel file. I am trying to compress and deliver it as a .zip file. its not working Here's my code below. I tried compressing it, converting it to bytes etc etc. The issue with below code is, the XSL transformation is not happening properly and the output excel file is raw xml with some .net exception at the end. (that's what I see on the .xls file that's downloaded at the end) Before I started working on compression my below code was working fine that gives properly formatted excel file from the xml input. the excel file is so nice you can't even tell it was from XML.

We are creating a Who wants to be a millionaire style game in VB. Our server is pulling information such as questions and answers from a Access Database and sending them to the contestants (Clients). All transfer of information is directly from the server to each client. One of the "Life Lines" we want to use is "Ask a friend", where one client is able to Instant message another client for a short time to get help on the question.

Now all went well about from using the structure correctly. The working of the structure was perfect. How ever i missed Two important issues. The structure needed a fixed size of 10 items (9 in programming terms starting from 0) And also out of the 5 items allowed to be chosen as one of the member types for the structure a limit of 5 items of that particular type.
