View 1 Repliesi've got a rectangleshape with gradient fill color as the user control. the moment i add it onto a form, there seem to be a white/transparent square box around where the cursor is. the same thing happen when i click on the control on the form at design time.
View 2 RepliesI been playing around with some code I found on internet and I am probably almost where I need to be. Using the printdocument I am able to get the active form in my project to print. That works fine. MY nextr issue was to get the form to print so that it is Black & white. No shading etc.. So I found a routine on internet that will take image and turn to B&W. Problem: IF a text box fields background color is too dark then the entire box shows up in black. If a text box field data is Selected it also is too dark and comes out white.her is code I found for turnign to B&W
Public Function PureBW(ByVal image As System.Drawing.Bitmap, Optional ByVal Mode As BWMode = BWMode.By_Lightness, Optional ByVal tolerance As Single = 0) As System.Drawing.Bitmap
Dim x As Integer

I'm trying to display the square root symbol on a button in a windows form. I'm using the unicode U+221A which on windows character map is the root sign. When i enter this in visual basic ensure the font is the same as that in the character map (wasn't sure if that made a difference to the unicode) my button displays the eta sign instead. Any help greatly received.
This is the code i'm using to set my unicode the the buttons text property.
btnSquareRoot.Text = CChar("U+221A")
I've been working on some custom graphics controls, and I found this weird problem with windows 7 rendering my button controls. I've used Photoshop to delete the pixels in the background all around the button image I'm using, then saved it as a GIF, and imported it into VS to use as the background image of my button. When windows XP renders it, it is fine, but when windows 7 renders it, all 4 corners have an odd white border around them.

I'm trying to make an autoupdater, so I've made it search for updates in the beginning and that works fine. But now when the update form is supposed to open, it goes a while and then it says "File Download Complete". So that means the form must have been executed, but it does just not appear. But when I click ok on the dialog, the updater form appears, but with all controls white. Here's my updater.vb: [URL]
I'm using Kleinma's WebFileDownloader class.
I suspect that the problem might be that the updater's form doesn't get it's events handled or doesn't get redrawn.
He wanted to know how they can do to convert a portion of the form that you see only blue or black and white. I mean, the user presses a button and all that is in the form sees only blue or black and white only.

so I've begun developing another little rpg like game w/ visual studio 2010. I'm trying to have the arrow keys control a little square in the form but I've searched all over the internet and haven't found too much useful info. So first thing's first, how can i make a key perform an action, and then, if you know how, what code do i use to make it move the square on the form.
View 3 RepliesI made a form with text boxes in a 6x6 square pattern. It will do a streamreader from a text file a number that indicates the size of the array. Then fill in the boxes with the numbers of the array. Then it will calculate the rows and columns to see if they add up to a single answer. Then it will display to an output window if it is a magic square or not. Meaning if all rows and columns add up to a single number its magic. If they dont add up to the same number then its not magic. Then it will repeat this check and output from the information of the other arrays from the text file.
I know how to code for the streamreader and get it to add the rows and columns. Im not sure about what code I need so it can check the answer if its magic or not and repeat it till the end.
Here are the contents of my text file which it will read from.

So i want to apply gradient to a square, a center to edges gradient. This is the code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub PicSourcefrm(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint
