Uses An Old Ascend Gradient Caption Control To Visually Separate Sections Of The Form?
Jun 24, 2010
I have recently moved from developing in vb.NET 2008 to vb.NET 2010. There is a form in the application that uses an old Ascend Gradient Caption control to visually separate sections of the form. These controls are located on a tab control. The problem isthat the gradient captions seem to be unstable. They appear in odd locations on the tab pages at runtime, and I can't seem to select them in the designer. I can choose them from the combo box on the property page and edit the properties, but they stillbehave erratically. I understand that these are older controls and was wondering if anyone has had this problem and/or could recommend an alternative control

DataGridView, add unique gradient to each Row I like to add a gradient brush to each row of my datagridview. I like to change the gradient colors for each row independently depending of some cell values in the row. I know how to add a solid background color to each, cell, row, column etc. but I do not know how to add a gradient brush to each row individualy.
I need to fill the datagridview with values, the datagridview is disconnected from any database or other data source. After filling the datagridview, I want to step trough each row, find my key values, decide the gradient colors and then add the gradient to the row.I like to do something similar to what I now do with a background color:
For Each R As DataGridViewRow In DGV.Rows
Dim CS As New DataGridViewCellStyle
Select Case i

I'm constructing a Management system. Now, I have a problem with the interface design.
I wish to use ForumsAccount's tab control and JuggaloBrotha's gradient form in my application (both can be found in CodeBank).
But the problem is, I'm confused in the design ! Which one shall I use for the main form ? an MDI form or a normal form ?
Details about the Mgmt. System app: it will be used to manipulate everything for a small firm, like adding customers, employees, payments, etc.. Everything is managed using the app and saved to the db.

I have a few forms that have a lot of really intensive updating along with a great deal of user interface (text boxes, button clicking etc) Is it possible to open a separate form as a separate UI thread from the start up form that called it to "show" or open or whatever the new method might be?

I have this code for a gradient form(EXAMPLE 1). It works fine on its own.I tried putting it into an existing project of mine and I cannot get it to work. The project is quite large so I am no sure what the issue is. Is it due to the fact that I have an InitializeComponent() line in the my Sub New in Example 2? Note I have alot of code
EXAMPLE 1:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint
'Creating a new Rectangle as similar width and height of the base form

I have a form that I am creating to document information about computers that I build. I have created the basic layout, what I have is a group box that has many different controls in it (text boxes, combo boxes, additional group boxes etc) What I want to be able to do is have a button that will copy the group box (computer information) and all of its contents and then paste it below the first group box with all of the fields blank or in their default setting; and keep doing this for as many computers as I want to add. Each project I do has a different amount of computers on it so I want this form to be able to handle any amount of computers.
I can't seem to find much on what I want to do, any pointers, direction or idea's
I was able to do this with an excel spreadsheet but all I had to do was reference and select a cell range, scroll down and paste the new section in. This is my code from excell, just as an example of what I did then. But with VB I'm stumped on how to approach this.
Range("U3:AB11").Select
Range("U11").Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False

I have created a Windows Forms application in Visual Studio.Net 2008. I have some group boxes on the form in order to section various controls on the page. At the bottom of my form is a group box containing a texbox used for display exception messages. I would like the user to be able to toggle the ability to hide/show this section of the form. Is there a control which allows the show/hide feature of a form?

I am using Visual Basic.NET 2008. I was earlier a VB 6 developer. I found a (VB 6) code online which generates gradient colours on a form. It has a small sub (routine) which does the trick. If we pass red, green and blue values then form's backcolour changes and it appears like a gradient.Now that code is not working in VB.NET.i mean is there an easier way to generate gradient colours in VB.NET (2008)convert the code I have into .net specific so form's backcolour becomes gradient.I have attached a zip file which contains the code.

How can I change a form's backcolor to gradient one. The code (VB.Net) -
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(New Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(New PointF(Me.Width, 0),
New PointF(Me.Width, Me.Height), Color.FromArgb(0, 58, 140),
Color.FromArgb(0, 215, 255)), New RectangleF(0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height))
'fade from left to right
This code changes the form's background to a gradient one. It works fine. Now I want this to take place in an MDI form which will be a container for other forms. If I turn option IsContainer = False then it works but otherwise it does now. How can I change backcolor of MDI Form to a gradient one ?

I have a form which I am adding a gradient to. However on this form I have aTableLayoutPanel (with controls) with the dock set to Fill. When it fills it covers up the form and the gradient on the form. Is it possible to make the TableLayout Panel and its controls colour clear or can you pass the same gradient color from the form to all the controls in the TableLAyout Panel (including the TableLAyoutPanel).

I am using a MDI form and child forms. Now I don't like the standard back colour of mdi form so I got code on the net which paints a gradient colour to the mdi. So far it is working okay.Now the problem is when I load a child form or close it or do a similar activity then it causes flicker in the mdi background. This gets pretty annoying at times and you see the background flicker.

How to get rid of all the buttons - or boxes - on a form's caption bar without actually eliminating the bar itself? The closest I've gotten is setting the FormBorderStyle = FixedToolWindow, but that still leave a close button ('x'). If I set the control box property = False, that get's rid of the bar itself. I want to the users to still be able to grab the bar to move the form around, but not to minimize, maximize, or close via the caption bar - only the buttons I have on the form. It's always difficult when user's want something that's not standard windows design.

When changing properties of a ToolStripMenuItem at run-time, the changes are not reflected visually. If I check the values of the property that was changed, it shows the new value, but it will not show on screen. I have tried changing the Text value and it doesn't show the new text. I have changed the Checked value but it doesn't show as checked. I have even added event handlers, but they do not trigger.

I have been asked to remove or disable the close button from our VB .NET 2005 MDI application. There are no native properties on a form that allow you to grey out the close button so the user cannot close it, and I do not remember seeing anything in the form class that will allow me to do this.
Is there perhaps an API call or some magical property to set or function to call in .NET 2005 or later to do this?
More information:
I need to maintain the minimize/maximize functionality
I need to maintain the original title bar because the form's drawing methods are already very complex.

How do i load the Main form of a WPF so that a seperate thread goes and gets data from the database while the form is in an apartmentstate? (drag-able / movable) I Know this is possible with opening a new window from your main form like this :
Private Sub openOrderWindow()
Dim OrderWindow As Orders = New Orders
OrderWindow.ShowDialog()
End Sub
[code]....
I've tried putting MyBase.ShowDialog() and .Show() and .9000+ other things The only benefit I've got out of using a seperate thread to load from the databse is i can see the screen right away (as oppose to it being a transparent box until it loads) but i cannot move it around or minimize it?is there any way to make it Movable while it loads?

I 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.
