View 3 RepliesForce Visual Styles When Using .NET Forms Interop From VB6?
Jan 4, 2011I have created a VB.NET Class Library that exposes some COM Interop sub routines. These in turn show various forms that are contained within the Class Library. When the forms are shown from VB6 they do not inherit the visual styles of the operating system and act like VB6 controls.
I gather that this probably by design but is there some way to force/control visual styles manually in the .NET assembly? I would imagine that if I use a manifest in my VB6 app then everything will use the correct style but I would like to be able to control this myself if possible because we are using 3rd party controls in VB6 that do not require a manifest.
Turn Off Visual Styles For One Control/window?
May 26, 2009I've done much research in how to turn off visual styles for a custom drawn control, and coming only close on how to do this.
The problem I am seeing is that Application.EnableVisualStyles affects a boolean which tells the control how it should paint itself. I don't have a problem with styles being enabled, but rather getting a button to be drawn without using the visual styles rendering function.
Public Class LookupButton
Inherits Button
#Region "Disable Themes"
[Code]....
Method 2 simply does not do anything, nor would I want to use it, since it calls unmanaged code.
Method 1 does the right thing for the button, disabling the theme, but of course it does way more than that causing the entire window/app to blink with/without visual styles. And even if this did work, I wouldn't use it because it effects the entire application.
We need visual styles enabled on progress bars, since marquee will be used on a few database calls.
The button has an image ontop of it which gets cut off by the visual styles rounded corners. And there are a few more controls which would be benificial to turn off visual styles as well.
If there is anyway to manipulate the ButtonRenderer so it does not render using visual styles, this is the solution I am looking for. Having no styling for any buttons is preferable.
This is for a project I am working on for my company. We have Visual Studio 2005 .NET Team Edition (per customer request), and are gold certified (which I don't want to give up community support/supporting the community, but is there any programming forums for us where our answers could be answered before 24 hours and/or the questions goes into consideration when microsoft develops tool?).
To me it seems silly to have Visual Styles enable-able for the whole application, when dealing with the windows api, individual windows/controls can easily be themed or unthemed.
Visual Basic PowerPacks Line Styles?
Apr 19, 2011When I draw a line on the form using Visual Basic Power Packs the ends of the line are squared off. Is there way to round them off? In code I could write something like this to do it:
vb.net
Dim pn As New Pen(Color.Black, 5)
pn.StartCap = Drawing2D.LineCap.Round
pn.EndCap = Drawing2D.LineCap.Round
How could I do it with Power Packs?
VS 2010 XP Visual Styles Breaks Controls?
May 6, 2012I'm sure I'm doing something wrong because I can't see how the problems I'm having with controls' appearance in Win7 can be normal. When "Enable XP visual styles" is enabled in my application, my progressbars never fill and gridlines don't show in Listviews. Disabling XP visual styles fixes those problems, but then everything looks like Win98 and that's no solution.

Creating An App Mainfest File For Comctl32 And Xp Visual Styles ?
Apr 19, 2011I am using VB.Net 2008. I am using a 3rd party dll in my app that requires xp visual styles to be turned off, or that a manifest file be added to my app to re-direct comctl32.dll (link to 3rd party workaround:[URL]
I tried creating the manifest according to: [URL] This did not change the issue. Perhaps I did not add the manifest properly?
Here are the steps I tried:
1. Add xml file to app and name it MyApp.exe.manifest
2. Add the xml file to my resources.
The above did nothing so I removed it and then:
3. Add xml file to app and name it Comctl32.dll.manifiest
4. Add the xml file to my resources.
That did nothing either.
Here is the manifiest I tried adding:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">

Dealing With Different Coding Conventions/Styles In Visual Studio?
Sep 1, 2010I'm working on two different projects - both in VB.NET/Visual Studio 2008 (as much as I'd like to move to 2010).
I find I'm confusing the different coding standards that I'm supposed to follow. IE - Project1 wants variables named in a Hungarian-style notation like 'iSomeValue'; the does not want a prefix. One project requires an _ prefix on private class-level variables - etc...etc...
Are there any tools I can integrate with VS 2008 that will let me easily swap between pre-defined styles and format my code for me?

View 10 Replies.net - AddHandler For Custom Controls Error Visual Studio?
May 27, 2012I have a MouseEnter event which currently handles some custom controls on my form. The program is a card game. I have a collection (handCards) that gets populated when the user draws a card and then it adds the latest card to the form. This collection holds cards of various custom types, all which inherit from picturebox. Drawing the cards from the deck and adding them to the form works fine. The trouble I am having is that at runtime, after a card is drawn and added to the form, I've created an addhandler line of code to have those cards respond to my MouseEnter event, but my addhandler line of code is telling me that MouseEnter is not an event of object. How can I get around this so that after a card is drawn and added to the form, when the mouse enters the new custom control, my MouseEnter event fires? Here's one of the many things I've tried and what I think should be the simplest and easiest that should work.deck.DrawCard()AddHandler handCards(handCards.Count).MouseEnter, AddressOf Cards_MouseEnter
P.S. the MouseEnter event works fine for custom controls that are on the form prior to runtime and all it does is take the image of the control and enlarge it by placing the image to a bigger card on the form.

DrawFrameControl And XP Styles?
Feb 26, 2010i've been developing a usercontrol that uses a listbox with ownerdraw on. I need each element of the listbox to be expandable and thus - I need to draw an expand/collapse button ( [+]/[-] ) on each element. I've been using the Win32 DrawFrameControl function but it doesn't support XP styles apparently. So, the question is:Is there a way to make the DrawFrameControl API function draw elements using XP visual styles or should I use different API function? Is there some native .NET Framework functionality for something like this?

So how could I override their style with mine?
