• stak32 Locate mouse position of hovered tabpage

  I'm creating a tabbed browser app where each page is dynamically created and named. I need to use the mousehover event but don't know how to determine which tabpage is in the hover state. VB.NET documentation mentions the MouseEventArgs class but when I try to add a new mousehover delegate, VB will not accept this signiture in place of the required System.EventArgs. Bottom line: the app contains a main form with a 'New Tab' checkbox. If checked and address bar URL is navigated, a new tabpage is dynamically added to the tabcontrol and named "wbTabPage" & << the new tab's index >>. I want to raise the mousehover event whenever this new dynamically created tabpage is hovered. I searched for three days for infor ...Show All

• misexpert Decimal separator and other strange questions

  Hello, everyone, I've found several threads about decimal separator, but I couldn't figure out what to do with that info. I'm new to Visual Basic, but I have some basic knowledge of it, also a basic knowledge of C++ and a very good understanding of Actionscript. My friend has to write a thesis and he asked me to create an application to calculate something that has to do with quaternions. The user has to input 8 values and then the user has to press a button, so that a result is presented in a textbox by using a formula. Everything is going great, but I'm hoping on the good working of my friend. But now I want to make sure, that he can input nothing but numeric characters and that the decimal numbers are placed behind a comma. I have no id ...Show All

• JeffSkla Diff. between VB6 Control Type and .Net Control Type

• davidtcf Datagridview - Argument out of range

  I fill a DataGridView with DGV.Rows.Add(20) Then I get an error on Dgv.Rows(0).Cells(0).Value = 1234567 It says argument out of range, parameter name: index. But, I do not know which index, the rows or cells. Do I have to initialize the cells or rows somehow I think it is the cells. Is there an add method for cells The way to tell is to run it in debug. When it exits, test the value of Dgv.Rows(0) and also Dgv.Rows(0).Cells(0). My feeling is that the latter will be "nothing". ...Show All

• Raulsassaa Cannot add controls to a form

  Everytime I try to add any control to a form, I get the error Font 'Ariel' does not support style 'Regular' No mattger what control, new project, old project, all the same. Anybody have any ideas John I fixed this one. The web wisdom is that the font file is corrupt and needs to be replaced. Mine wasn't corrupt, it was the right length and checksummed cleanly. I also could not delete Arial. The cure was going to safe mode, which let me delete the font, and reinstalling most of the Arial family from the files on CD. The files did not change, but I think that the act of deleting and installing them fixed the registry settings that were actually broken. Actually, I did this twice. The first time I repl ...Show All

  My solution consists of a Windows Library (that creates a DLL), an EXE that is the Windows Service and a Setup project for deployment. The Windows Service references the DLL project.

• MikePHall Using panel in a custom control

  For my project I'm designing a custom control. It contains a title (as a link), a checkbox and a panel. When the title is clicked, the control is minimized to just one line, only displaying the title and the checkbox. When clicked again, the control resizes to its original size, also displaying the panel and its contents. My problem is: when I build this control, add it to a form and try to add controls onto the panel, these controls are not on the panel, but on the form. When the panel is hidden, the controls remain visible. But off course these controls should also hide, when the panel is hidden. Currently I am using Visual Basic .NET 2003, while 2005 is not supplied by the company I work for. The foll ...Show All
