Hey people,
I am writing a couple of windows forms in vs 2005 (vb).
These forms have quite a few controls on them and the users are going to want an "options" panel where they can , for example , select the background color of a set of buttons (I am simplefying here - bare with me) that appear on the forms.
If this was ASPnet then no problem i could just apply a CSS Style.
Does anyone have any experiance (or code - says he smiling hopefully !) which can apply a dynamic "Style" to a range of windows forms controls (Phew!)
I have heard of visual styles which take precreated XP Themes and apply them but this wont help in this case because I am developing this for people with windows pro 2000 and also I need it to be dynamic.
thanks in advance

I thought there was an example of skinning an app here on CP. Basically, what you want to do is write code that sets colors and so on of all your controls, based on a config file.

do you where the app skinning example is??
thanks

Does anyone know how to start the default mail client and paste an image that is in the clipboard to the message body . I have tried SendKey using 3 tabs and control-v but they don't make it to the client. I was hoping to stay away from the API.

Hi,
A GUI control can only be updated from the GUI thread.
If you are running a different thread then this must call a function on the GUI thread to perform the update.
you need to use a delegate method and the GUI's InvokeRequired method.
There are a large number of articles on this site that explains this in more detail just search for InvokeRequired
I hope this helps

This is a question better asked in the ASP.NET forum.
I think you're going to have to provide a link to a page that does the export, which you have to write the code for, then this page should return the export as a normal text file, just like if you were sending back an Excel or Word file. I don't know the specifics myself. That's why I said this question is more appropriate for the ASP.NET forum.

hi i am creating a project in which i am trying to create a handler for a funtion
that funtion skeleton is this
Function execcommand(ByVal commndstr As String)
End Function
i am trying to add handler by this command --- > AddHandler execcommand(), AddressOf execcommand
it shows a error
'AddHandler' or 'RemoveHandler' statement event operand must be a dot-qualified expression or a simple name.
can any one tell why this arises and correct the mistake
thank you
with regards

balakpn wrote: addhandler sendcommand(),addressof sendcommand
The format for the AddHandler statement is:
AddHandler object.event, handler
You didn't give AddHandler the name of an object event to handle. Something like:
AddHandler SomeObject.Click, AddressOf SendCommand
The signature for the SendCommand function MUST match the signature of the event it's going to handle.

Hi! I would like to; "really" know how to get the current text line number where the caret is at.
(not the "line number" just the "text line number":
when you use textbox1.lines(0) it takes the entire text in line 0 even if some text are in line 1, because the text in line 1(as long as it didn't get there by pressing the return key) belongs to line 0, but when I use the code below it just says the text in line 1(even thought it belongs to line 0) as belonging to line 1.)
a = Rtb.GetLineFromCharIndex(rtb.SelectionStart)
So can anyone tell me a way to get the real line number of the selected text.
thanks in advance
ps:
(pls don't tell me to explain again!

|
|
