View 2 RepliesI have an aspx page that has two different user controls. I want to find user control A and be able to set properties, etc., from user control B.
I was thinking I could do something like this:
Dim CMFilters As Control = Me.Parent.FindControl("CMFilters")
...but that doesnt work to be able to set properties and call methods. I somehow need to get the user control and and declare it as that user control type.
In a user control I have the code shown below.
I now realize that it is incorrect because the container's InitializeComponent property initializations have not run yet and they must be run prior to Refresh being called.
How (where) can I run Refreash after the container has initialized this user control.[cod]e...

View 2 RepliesI am trying to make a user control for information received from a database but i get:The class WFUserControl can be designed, but is not the first class in the file. Visual Studio requires that designers use the first class in the file. Move the class code so that it is the first class in the file and try loading the designer again.
Do i make the user control directly and add the code? Because thats what i did.. Or are there steps to do first before creating it?

I have a question regarding user controls.I have made a custom "key manager" class, which has global keydown, keyup, keypress events. It uses a thread in combination with a windows API to handle global key changes. This is the structure:
[Code]...
I can add the class as variable in my class, but I want to make it just like the timer, Errorprovider, Backgroundworker etc. standard windows usercontrols. In short, I want to have an user control that shows up in the bottom of the screen and which has no window.I guess I would have to inherit something, but it all causes crashes till now, as soon I drag/dropped the control into the field. (designer error)
So, how can I make such an user control that has no window, just some events and properties?
Is there any way I could add a user control to my VB 2008 Express project?

View 6 RepliesI have a usercontrol that contains a datagridview and a toolstrip. When creating a windows form that contains 2 of the mentioned usercontrol i gate for example c1 and c2 where both contains for sure the datagridview and the toolstrip hving the same control name for example G and t. in my case i want to apply the security on each form, i do this by reading the access of each control inside the windows form and if the control on the form was a user control then i dont consider it as one entity instead but as a grid alone and a toolstrip alone in order to be able to apply its security accordingly. but in ma case, if i want to disable the first grid and enable the 2nd i wont be able to do so since both grids have the same name. is there any solution for the above.
View 2 RepliesI'm coming over from VB6 in which you could use 'user controls' to create reusuable custom controls. They were simple and contained and you can easily create several instances of a user control within the same or other apps. In vb2008 there are user controls but I can not figure out how to add them to forms or or other apps. Can someone please give me the the basic steps to add a custom user control to a form or project.
View 6 RepliesI need to upgrade my application to a modern style interface component like Dotnetbar or Krypton,these doesn't provide a equivalent control for bindingnavigator so I have to create it with some buttons and textbox.I use bindingnavigator only for navigation as in the image
It is possible to create a user control (with 4 buttons and a textbox) that inherit bindingnavigator and to have new style buttons ?
I am modifying some code I found here to test to see if a user has scrolled to the end of the control. In this case the control is a Crystal Viewer but I posted here because I think the issue is based on the vertical scrollbar not the Crystal Viewer itself.
The code flags an error at
Me.CRViewer.Controls.OfType
Indicating 'OfType' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlCollection'.
I understand the concept that I can't reference something that it is not but I don't know how to fix it. The original code was for a DataGridView.
The ultimate goal (not finished) is to find out when the user has used the mouse or possibly the scroll bar itself and if it hits the bottom of the page of the viewer, then trigger a new page so it looks like they can just keep using the mouse to scroll.
Public Sub New()
Me.InitializeComponent()
Dim vscroll As VScrollBar = Me.CRViewer.Controls.OfType(Of VScrollBar)
[Code]...
I've followed the tutorial on the MSDN for this subject to the T and I'm not getting the User Control to Display in the cell.
I don't think the InitializeEditingControl is ever getting called by the Cell for some reason.
Here are my classes:
This is the actual User Control Class:

Public Class CustomCheckBoxUC

I have a program that I am creating in a windows form to track information about computers that I build for each project I do. The way I have my form layout is two buttons on the top of the form(1 for adding a computer and the 2nd to remove a computer) I then have a Tab window where when I want to add a computer I use the "Add button" click event to create a new tab and add a user control "Computer" that I created that contains all of the default fields that I desire (i.e. serial numbers os type, product key etc.) The "Computer" user control also contains two buttons (1 for adding a PC Card and the 2nd to remove a PC Card) The PC Card is another user control that I have created that has all of the desired fields I require for PC Cards. I am able to add new computers with no problem and name the tab
Dim b As New Computer
Dim x As String = Me.TabEquip.TabCount - 2
Dim tab As New TabPage("Computer" + x)

I need to create a user control which can be used in my all projects. I have created a user control with a TextBox Control and a ListBox Control.

I have done all the coding needed for the functionality but my problem is that when I add this usercontrol to my form, I should be able to change the DataSource, displaymember and valuemember properties at designtime. But I cannot see these properties when I add the control on the form.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to build a tournament bracket application. In order to build the application efficiently I would like to make a user control "GameControl" that represents a game and give it attributes that represent the names of the competitors "TeamNameA" and "TeamNameB" ,an attribute "Winner" to represent which team should move on, and an attribute "NextRoundGame" that assigns another instance of the user control so that it can assign the "winner" to one of the "TeamName" attributes of the next round in the competition. If the controls were native to VB I feel like I could do it easily (I have only spent about 30 hours self teaching/tutorial following) but I can't seem to find out how to pass values to custom attributes of custom user controls through code.
