In my code when the form loads I am trying to create a picture box inside of the form. When the code that includes the picture box in the form is deleted the picture box appears just fine but when I add that code back in it no longer is viable.
Here is my code:
Private Sub frmMain_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim picAlien1 As New PictureBox
Me.Controls.Add(picAlien1)
picAlien1.Size = New Size(24, 16)
picAlien1.Location = New Point(pnlRow1.Location.X, pnlRow1.Location.Y + 8)
picAlien1.Image = Space_Invaders.My.Resources.Resources.alien_1_phase_1_pixilart
pnlRow1.Controls.Add(picAlien1)
End Sub

I'm in the process of converting some outlook VBA macros to an Add-in. I am having difficulty with my macros that create emails based on a template. I decided to code a simple button to create and display a new email with the subject test.
Everything is working up to displaying the email which doesn't happen.
Private Sub ButtonGenEmail_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ButtonGenEmail.Click
Me.Close()
Dim objApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
objApp = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application
objMail = objApp.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem)
objMail.Subject = "test"
objMail.Save()
objMail.Display(False)
End Sub
At one point I added msgbox "Done" after objMail.Display(False) and the message never appears.
Thanks in advance
This should obviously work. I'm not so skilled in Outlook but I guess the problem here is that you run it from a form (I see the Me.Close)
Isn't then Outlook blocking to display the mail because the form is still open (I guess modal = ShowDialog())?
I think you will have to either change the form to be not modal (use Show() instead of ShowDialog()) or handle the event after the form is closed, something like
All code below written from top of my mind, so I may miss something
A method from where you initialize the form
Dim frm as new YourForm()
frm.ShowDialog()
if frm.MyState = TheyClickOnButton Then
' Run your mailItem code here
End If
in the form code
Public Enum State
Unknown = 0
TheyClickedOnButton
End Enum
Public Property MyState as State
Private Sub ButtonGenEmail_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ButtonGenEmail.Click
MyState = TheyClickedOnButton
Me.Close()
End Sub
I want to show a tooltip every time I hover a graphics object. I used a bitmap to draw a graphics object in the picture box.
Picturebox does not have a tooltip feature in visual studio, not that i know of anyway. Here is a work around.
imports System.Drawing
Dim varname as new ToolTip()
varname.SetToolTip(PictureBox1, "Tooltip data here")
If you have added the box with WithEvents then use the following code
Private tool As ToolTip = New ToolTip()
Sub OnPictureMouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseHover
tool.Show("Tooltip", Me)
End Sub
Sub OnPictureMouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseLeave
tool.Hide()
End Sub
I am making a risk-type game for school that dynamically creates a 4x4 grid of buttons inside a table layout panel in visual basic. I have successfully created the panel and buttons with names that correspond to the row and column of the button. There are also two parallel arrays - one for button owner and the other for button number - that correspond to the owner of the button and the number of "armies" in the button. My issue is that when the user clicks a certain button, I need to reference the button name/value to know how many "armies" the button has to control the "attack" portion of the player's turn.
The following code creates the table layout panel and the buttons with names.
'Create table Dynamically
Dim ColCount As Integer = 4
Dim RowCount As Integer = 4
Dim f As New System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 15)
riskTable.AutoScroll = True
riskTable.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
riskTable.ColumnCount = ColCount
riskTable.RowCount = RowCount
For rowNo As Integer = 0 To riskTable.RowCount - 1
For columnNo As Integer = 0 To riskTable.ColumnCount - 1
Dim buttonname As String
buttonname = "B" & rowNo & columnNo
Dim button As Control = New Button
button.Size = New Size(179, 100)
button.Name = buttonname
button.Text = "1"
button.ForeColor = Color.White
button.Font = f
AddHandler button.Click, AddressOf buttonname_Click
riskTable.Controls.Add(button, columnNo, rowNo)
Next
Next
Me.Controls.Add(riskTable)
This is the dynamic event handler that I created. I tried using 'Me.Click' to get the name of the button, but it only returns the name of the form. I need to have code in here that references the name of the currently clicked button to then in turn reference the box owner and box number arrays.
Private Sub buttonname_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Click
MessageBox.Show(Me.Name)
End Sub
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I think that once I get this working, the rest of the game will be pretty simple to figure out.
Thanks!
Put the name in 'button.Tag' instead/also:
button.Tag = buttonname
Then it is easy to get the name with:
Private Sub buttonname_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Click
Dim result As String = CType(CType(sender, System.Windows.Forms.Button).Tag, String)
End Sub
(Check the System.Windows.Forms.Button though, might need some tweak to match your buttons inside the table. riskTable.Controls.button ?)
I have two form in my application i am calling two form together from master page.i wrote code in my master page
in top i declared like this
Dim form As New FrmDelivary
Dim frm1 As New FrmrecievedDelivaryRequest
in toolstrip menu event like this:
Dim frm1 As New FrmrecievedDelivaryRequest
frm1.Location = New Point(625, 225)
frm1.MdiParent = Me
frm1.Show()
Dim frm2 As New FrmDelivary
frm2.Location = New Point(965, 0)
frm2.MdiParent = Me
frm.show()
if i press R i want to go my cursor the particular textbox of FrmrecievedDelivaryRequest
if i press D i want to go my cursor the particular textbox of FrmDelivary
How can I do this? i trey something like this in frmMaster_KeyDown event: but same page is showing again. I have already open instance of FrmDelivary, so I don't want to show same page again. I want to just get cursor position to particular textbox of this form
If e.KeyCode = Keys.A Then
form.Show()
form.txtTicket.Focus()
Cursor.Position = form.txtTicket.Location
end if
I am working on vb.net windows application
After
frm1.Show()
place
frm1.txtTicket.Focus()
I don't think you need the Cursor.Position call
Set your frm1 and frm2 variables at the top of the code window so they are accessible from all of the Subs. In your KeyDown event, put
If e.KeyCode = Keys.A Then
frm1.Show()
frm1.txtTicket.Focus()
Cursor.Position = frm1.txtTicket.Location
end if
The problem is that you are instantiating a new copy of the form with the "AS NEW frmDelivery" statement.
i have written some Macros for Visio. Now I copied these to a Stencil called Macros.vss
How can I call my Macros now?
It all depends on what the macros do and how you'd like to call them. I'm going to assume they're simply macros that will execute something within the active Visio page.
By default in Visio VBA, any public subs with no arguments get added to the Visio Tools->Macros menu, in a folder named by the document holding the macros (in this case Macros) and then separated into folders by module name. If you're the only person using the macros then you probably don't need to do anything else.
However, since you put them in a vss file I'll assume you'd like to distribute them to other people.
There's something funny (and by funny I mean irritating) about Visio and how toolbars and buttons work, when added programmatically. Unfortunately, when you create a toolbar using the UIObject and Toolbar and ToolbarItem classes, Visio is going to assume the code you're calling resides in the active drawing, and cannot be in a stencil. So I can give you a little guidance on using those classes, but basically it consists of distributing a .vst template along with your .vss files, with just a single required sub in the .vst file.
So, instead of using a custom toolbar, you can attach code to shape masters in your .vss file that execute the code when they get dropped on a drawing document (using CALLTHIS and the EventDrop event in the shapesheet). With this method I just have a sub that gets called using callthis that takes a shape object as an argument, executes some code, then deletes the shape (if I don't want it around anymore).
And lastly, you can manipulate the Visio UI programmatically to add a toolbar and buttons for your macros. Below is some sample code, basically the way I do it with a solution I developed. As I mentioned above, the most important part of using this method is to have a document template (.vst) that holds a sub (with the below code it must be named RunStencilMacro) that takes a string as an argument. This string should be the "DocumentName.ModuleName.SubName". This sub must take the DocumentName out of the string, and get a Document object handle to that document. Then it must do ExecuteLine on that document with the ModuleName.SubName portion. You'll have to step through the code and figure some things out, but once you get the hang of what's going on it should make sense.
I'm not sure of any other ways to execute the macros interactively with VBA. I think exe and COM addons may not have this issue with toolbars...
