View 4 RepliesImage In My Toolstrip Button Cannot Show In Runtime
Jun 2, 2009I know this may sound really stupid, however, I really do not know. Though I have been programming with VB2005 for about the last 4 years or so, I have never used toolstrip at all. Just simply never has a need to, until now. So, I tried it by simply clicking it in the toolbox, which is simple enough, and choose the toolstrip button for the toolstrip as well. I change the button image to the image I have and want, which seems to be piece of cake operation. Everything looks good in design time. However, when I ran the program, I have the toolstrip simply look blank (no show of the button or the image at all)! The button was there alright, as when I clicked it, it responded. However, it just simply not visible at all, nor the image. When I ran my mouse over it, it did change color (which I guess indicate it is there), but no image either.
View 3 RepliesToolStrip On A Databound Form - Toolstrip Buttons Don't Receive Focus In The Normal Way ?
Mar 24, 2009I really want to make use of the toolstrip and databinding but these two technologies keep conflicting with each other. I think the root cause is something to with the fact that the toolstrip buttons don't recieve focus in the normal way.
I invite you to try the following:-
1. Create a form and put some text boxes a tool strip with a save button on it.
2. Write a query or sproc to get a datatable back and bind your text boxes to the field in the datatable.
3. In the code behind your Save ToolStripButton put some code that makes an arbitrary change to a field on the dataset (it doesn't matter whther this field is bound to a text box or not). eg:-
m_DataTable.Rows(0).Item("CommissionRatePerc") = "0.0000"
4. Put a breakpoint in the save and run the form.
5. Make some changes in the text boxes. Do not leave the last text box but rather click save while a text box whose contents you have edited still has focus.
6. When your code hits the breakpoint, query the value of the data table field that is bound to the text box you were editing when you clicked save - it will still contain the unedited value. Unless you do something about it that unedited value is going to get saved back to your DB.
We did get around this problem by explicetely setting the focus to another control on the form before saving. That worked most of the time because it prompts the text box to flush it's value back to the datatable (nb EndEdit does not work, although you'd have expected it to). However, and this is the reason I suggested you add a line of code that changed a value in the underlying datatable in step 3, if you change a value in code in this way before the value from the text box get's flushed back then it doesn't seem to matter what you do, the user's current edit is simply lost. They will still show in the text box, though, leading your user to believe that the change has been committed when it hasn't. Our final solution is that we never ever change a value in the adtaset in the code behind our toolstrip buttons. That's working but it's a pretty big restriction.
C# - Two Controls Show Before The Others
May 14, 2012I have on a form a UserControl that I use as a Data-Entry form. I show and hide it constantly with new data. Often (not all the times) the same two memo-boxes are shown on the screen first for a second, and then the full control is visible. I found this link, I'm not sure if that's my solution, but in any case I don't know where to call it and when. EDIT: I noticed that it happens 'only' if the program is idle for a couple of minutes. I could show and hide the control 10 times one after the other no problem. but if I hide it and show it again after 2-3 minutes then I get this behavior.
I guess it has to do with the time it takes to reconnect to the MsSQL database to pull the data. But how can I tell this 2 boxes to stay invisible like there parent until the parent is ready to show?

UI Controls Show Much Less Record Than DataTable?
Feb 22, 2011I have very strange problem, here it is: I have a quite large MS Access Database (2003) containing exactly 68020 records (rows). The problem is, when i read the entire database directly toa data representation control like DataGridView or Listbox,only 66710 records are returned. The weird thing is: If i load the entire database to a in-memory datatable object, rows.count gives "correct" amount of records as expected, that is 68020What is the reason of that? Why DataGridView or other controls cannot have records more than 66710 items? Is there an internal limitation? (That's dread if there is).

Feb 25, 2011The problem im having is that DotNetBar gets referenced fine and all the controls appear in the tab but when i drag one from the toolbox to the form it stays in the panel where usually the timers and other controls are..Example : Drag a ButtonX from DotNet toolbox tab and it goes to where timers and dialogs usually appear instead of on the form.The standard default controls work fine. But seeing as i already have 60-70% of my application done with DotNetBar controls, I am receiving errors like frmMain.chkboxx cannot be accessed as its private.I was working on my laptop and decided to install VS2010 to Desktop and Copy/Paste the whole project folder over and this happens (I can still open the project on the laptop fine and DoTNetBar works)[code]

Programmatically Created Controls Show Up Intermittently?
Feb 22, 2009Now everybody knows that creating GUIs that have lots of repeated elements that are evenly spaced by hand is for chumps; all the cool kids use loops and add them at runtime. Given that being one of the cool kids is one of my top priorities I decided to give this a go - as my current project involves creating a grid of check boxes and then chunking them together under one event handler. In my experience - an nice effective way of dealing with grid like structures (2D arrays if you will) is to use nested loops such as:
For intY = 0 To 9
For intX = 0 To 9
Dim chk As New CheckBox

View 1 RepliesToolStrip Buttons Are Gone
Apr 5, 2010I have an MDI container with a ToolStrip. I ran into a naming issue with images/icons. I removed the lines of code referring to the image of the buttons in the MDIForm.Designer.VB file. Then, in the actual designer, I imported the image file as a project resource and added this image to each button.
When I view the MDI form in the designer, the buttons appear normally, but when I run the app, the buttons are not there!
Should i have not edited the designer.vb file directly? Can this be fixed without recreating each button?
