I have created a new Button Template in Blend2 to use the Style in Blend for Others Buttons is no problem, for this i just assign the Button Style with my own Style, and it works perfect. But I would like to use or better say assign the button style via VB Code. For example, I have new Button, and want to assign it with my Button Style called "MyStyle" , I have tried it with using URI and Source, but was not successful.
View 3 RepliesI am creating an application and am very new to VB. I have 4 buttons on my form which is like my applications main menu. I would like that each of the buttons behaves in the following way when there is a mouse rollover: The Button back color is changed from the default to Red The Button text is changed to Blue, Bold, and increases in font size I would also like all the buttons to go back to their initial state when the mouse leaves.
Another thing, instead of me writing code for each of the buttons event handlers (Mouse Hovers, and Mouse Leaves) is there a way I can write this code once, maybe as a function and then always call it for any button that I create from here on so that any new buttons take on this behaviour.
I have a static picture, one for hover, and one for press.is there a way to make the picture change depending on my actions with the button?

I have a vb.net windows forms project with a tabcontrol. Anyone know how to change the style of the tabpage title or "button" when you hover over it with the pointer ?
I guess you can change the colours with: TabControl1.SelectedTab.BackColor = Color.Black
But not sure how to hook up the mouseover to the hovered over tab title/button.
For some reason I thought you could change the look of a button. such as have it angled to the right or left of something like that.

Ok i am making a game in visual basic where its 1998 and you have windows 95 and you find time travel software and travel to different time periods with different operating systems...so far i have coded windows 95 and partly windows 98 into the game and have a good time travel sequence... (this will be a completely free game in the future)
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 program called Vip Task Manager.This program lets me set up task which others have to complete.When they are done with a task they have to mark it "completed" and make a report on what they have done and used to perform this task.Vip Task Manager has a button which directs them to an upload form, now when they press the "open" button I would like this to happen: Open a certain report making program I made myself.When they finished writing their report and press save, the program saves this report on a dedicated network HDD (.txt file) and closes itself.Then add the file or link to the upload form in Vip Task Manager.What it all comes down to is that they dont have to minimize Vip task manager, open the report making software, save it, go to vip task manager, press upload, press open, look where this file is saved, select it, and upload it.now, typed in red is whats already been taken care of.The rest, I have no idea where to begin to be honest.First I want to find out how to retrieve that a button is pressed in a existing program. (dont know which code it is written in and it is not open source)

I am trying to make a style that only gets applied if the parent element of the element that the style refers to, has another specific style. Kind of like in CSS where you can do ".class1 .class2" to specify that the "class2" theme only applies if it is within an element with the class "class1". I do not wish to use any form of external DLLs or libraries for this task. I want to know if it's possible to implement on my own.
I've tried using MultiTriggers with no luck. I have a style that applies to all TextBlocks. I want the textblock to do the following: If the font-size of the textblock is 11 and the parent element's style is "PinnedSuggestion", set the foreground color to "#FF505050". If the font-size of the textblock is 11 and the parent element's style is "Suggestion", set the foreground color to "#FFCCCCCC". The conditions that I have tried to write to make this work, are as follows (the font-size condition is true, but the other one is not). The conditions are inside a style that applies to all textblocks in general.

View 3 RepliesI've been professionally writing VB.NET software for seven years. However, I don't have a strong computer science background - four courses while studying education at university in the 90s that gave me some CS basics and exposure to Pascal, C and Lisp. Anyway, there are a whole bunch of practices that I'm missing - testing, patterns, "real" object-oriented design, etc and I'm trying to pick them up. If you look at most of my applications, you find blocks of fairly old-school procedural code being triggered by form events. Where I write my own classes, I'm mostly using them as data-structures with overloaded New() methods and maybe a custom output method. I consider myself quite proficient at this kind of work and none of my employers has had any problems with it. But it's not really right and I'd like to learn more of the craft of my trade.
Since the early 90s, I've looked at several different intro to objects kind of documents -- books, tutorials, etc. They seem to all use dogs and cars as analogies and examples with tons of responsibilities per object. And they've never stuck with me even as I wanted to learn from them.Lately, I've been reading "Uncle" Bob Martin's notions of OOD and I like what I see. But it's hard for me to follow the C/Java syntax and I get hung up on that difficulty rather than just ingesting it smoothly. So I'm looking for good sources with VB examples because that is (by far!) the syntax with which I am most comfortable. There's not much around. The stuff that I find doesn't seem to advocate or exemplify e.g. the Single Responsibility Principle.
I've been looking for books, but they mostly seem like they're either OOP and not in VB or VB and not (really) OOP. I've checked out the following topics here: 1, 2 and 3 -- among others. I've scrutinized the Amazon reviews of most of the books listed in those threads and keep coming up with reasons to suspect that they aren't really what I'm looking for.
So, any ideas? If you're going to suggest a book, I'd like to hear how well it fits the needs that I've outlined. If you think I'm on the wrong track, I guess I'd be interested to hear why. If you have other suggestions on how to pursue this avenue of improvement, that too would be great.
I have a workbook (Workbook1) that runs through some steps using visual basic, which ends up opening another workbook Workbook2). Once Workbook 2 is opened, I need to copy a section of data from it, into Workbook1 int a specific worksheet. I was able to do this by recording a macro, but the challange is, the name of Workbook 1, and Workbook 2, will vary by User. When I created the macro it uses the files as they are currently named.
