UpdateNumLockIndicator is a method that you have to supply to update whatever control your using to show the status of the toggle.

The My namespace is only available in VB.NET 2005. It doesn't exist in 2002 or 2003.

Public Declare Auto Function GetKeyState Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal KeyCode As Integer) As Short
 
Public ReadOnly Property NumLock As Boolean
      Get
            Return ((GetKeyState(144) And 1) > 0)
      End Get
End Property

You update the status of the indicators by checking this NumLock Property in your KeyDown event code.

Does anyone know how to add a tasks window to a vb.net control? It's the small arrow at the top right area of the control. When a developer clicks on it, it shows a drop down menu.

replace the text "hello" with whatever you want

Select Case Me.TextBox1.SelectionStart
Case 0
Me.TextBox1.Text = "hello" & Me.TextBox1.Text
Case Else
Me.TextBox1.Text = Mid(Me.TextBox1.Text, 1, Me.TextBox1.SelectionStart) & _
"hello" & _
Mid(Me.TextBox1.Text, Me.TextBox1.SelectionStart + 1)
End Select

Formatted text?? How is it formatted? How is the format information retained? Is it inline with the text, like HTML tags?

Hi,
Why do you use mid by the way ?. Just split the sentence on space character and then finding the length of array gives you the number of words in the string.
Just simple as it looks.

Improve transparent's performance

ctlqt126-Nov-06 0:57

I have a problem with transparent. On form, i have 30 controls. And i want 30 controls have backcolor= transparent ( so the BackGroundImage of form can be displayed ). But when i did that, the performance is very bad. When the form is loaded, it's very slow.

So, how could i increase the performance of the form ( when form is loaded )

Please give some some instructions

Re: Improve transparent's performance

Dave Kreskowiak6-Nov-06 3:57

30 controls each with a transparent background?? There's really nothing you can do about the performance. When a controls BackColor is set to Transparent, it's not really transparent. This tells the controls to take on the properties of the parent containers background. So, if you use a BackgroundImage in a parent container, portions of the image are copied to the background of the controls it contains. You're not using one background image, you're using 31 images. So, knowing that, there's really no way of speeding it up, short of not using a background image.
