My next question is how do i use a .msstyle file for the form theme/style? Preferably not using SkinSoft Visual Styler.net because this doesnt support some things like fixed single border. It also isnt free.

Theres just one major problem i have. Whatever operating system you are using for your current computer (windows 7 in my case) the buttons and tabs and everything else (apart from the windows border... or whatever you all it which i made myself) everything has the modern buttons on it.Hes an in game screen shot :As you can see it looks totally horrible... even the start menu has the windows 7 blue glow effect...I recently found another application (universe Sandbox) and it has the classic buttons even though i am using windows 7.how can i actually make my buttons classic? (without making picture boxes of each button)
I have a theme called 'Zune' on my computer, and like the way it looks.Is there a way too, make the program use the 'Zune' theme..even if the computer itself is using the default xxxx theme?I can simulate it by doing the graphics, but to make the program border less, then to do the move code when they click on the image box...etc... makes it for tedious work.
If I could somehow make the program use the theme..
know that there is library which can change the theme of the form but i do not
View 1 RepliesOk, so i am trying o make it so that a user can change themes, i have moved all major code to a module so it can be accessed but then i have a problem.
I have 6 forms, all forms are the same just different themes, The problem is that in the module it calls form1, like for example form1.webbrowser.blah.blah, if i user used form3 for there theme then this dones not work as in the module it calls form1.
Basically i need to add something else there like for example:
dim Cform as string
Cform = form1
Cform.webbrowser.blah.blah
But form1 can not be a string
I wanted to know how you could make your own custom form border style.

View 2 RepliesI'm building a theme manager. Each theme contains and XML file to describe the theme and a couple of images. I load the themes with a custom control into a wrappanel. As a preview of the theme I use a custom control, that shows the first 3 images of the theme. I load the picture into the images as follows (codeblock 1). You can delete the theme by selecting it in the wrappanel and then press delete theme button. It will add the name of the theme to a list and will delete the theme when the app exists. But then the app will bring up an error message saying that the file is used by another process - which is the main window of the app that has been closed.

View 1 RepliesI have began building a piece of software that needs to collect a series of information from the user. This information will all be based on what has already been entered. I would like to create a window that has a "NEXT" button in it. As they enter information, they can click NEXT to continue on, similar to how an install wizard works.
My question is... Is there a form type that does this? Or must I create a window with a next button, and when it is clicked, I need to set the visibility of buttons/listboxes/comboboxes/textboxes/etc to false and new ones to true?
recently I've been searching for a way to disable the screen background and give focus only to my loaded form

I want to create a software which have a Vista-like border style. I currently created some buttons (1 per side and 1 per corner) which have a background image corresponding to their position on the form. But it requires to much CPU when I resize the window (and need a lot of code lines to works ) So, I want to know if their is a way to create a border style (and maybe to add it in the Form.FormBorderStyle enum) to make it easily tranparent, etc.

View 1 RepliesI have a problem in a vb.net windows application.I have a form with Sizable form border style. but i want to resize it only from TOP & BOTTOM. I have done the code for this.
But when i move the mouse on form's RIGHT & LEFT border, the mouse pointer gets changed to resize mode. When i drag it form size does not change. but when i try to resize it from LEFT whole form moved to LEFT. I do not need it.
I have three tables, the extremely simplified versions of which are:
Practitioners:
practitioner_id :: int
name :: nvarchar
Insurances:
insurance_id :: int
name :: nvarchar
InsuranceLink:
practitioner_id :: int
insurance_id :: int
So, the practitioner table contains a list of practitioners, the insurance table contains a list of insurances, and the link table represents which practitioner supports which insurance. Now, I need to create a view which can display the information like this:
ViewTable:
practitioner_id :: int
practitioner_name :: nvarchar
insurance_1 :: bit
insurance_2 :: bit
.....
insurance_100 :: bit
In other words, the columns in the view are the ID and name of the practitioner, and every insurance that exists in Insurances (with the insurance name as the column name (there is an enforced condition that insurance names are unique)). The cells in the insurance columns will indicate if that practitioner supports that insurance. Or better yet, is it possible to use an excel-style pivot table on a DataSet in a VB.NET form?
i'm having a few small problems concerning my MDI child forms.
1). I have a panel that is docked to the parent form so i can change the background colour of the parent form. (the background property doesn't seem to work on MDI parents).But my childforms appear underneath this panel, is there a way to make them appear on top of the panel? (i've tried using .topmost = true).
2). Is there a way to remove the 3d border style of a MDI parent form?
I 've been searching for quite a while to find a way to preview ANY type of file (not just images) much like the Windows XP Explorer does. Eventually I found a solution, using the WebVW.dll (which I had to import to .NET by using AxImp.exe - more info here). This, actually worked like a charm.
However, recently I upgraded to Windows 7, that, in all their greatness, spoiled my hard-earned solution
It seems that WebVW.dll doesn't ship with W7, and even more, it won't register even if you find it, so my solution cannot be deployed.Does anyone have any idea how to go about this?
