You probably are thinking that's not what I want (I know it's a ribbon control)
BUT the devoloper creats his ribbonbuttons himself (draws them, does the eventhandling,...) and that is what you want (you will need to adjust a bit but take a look at this code and you should be able to adjust it to what you want)

Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty much a novice, and battle enough with Visual Basic, so trying to cope with C# is a bit beyond me. Do you know of anything in VB?

How do I send Arguments to a form when I open it?
EG. frmMyForm.Show("MyOpenArgs")
(I know that wont work, but that's more or less what I'm looking to do)

Hi,
I prefer this way:
- create an instance of your form
- make sure the class has one or more setter properties; use these to pass
1 or more parameters
- then Show it.
An alternative is:
- give your form class a second constructor that accepts parameters
- use that constructor to create the form's instance
- now Show it.
In the special case your form needs the command line, it could
fetch that itself through the Environment class.

hi all
i need to write the events of the titlebar of the form plz tell me how can do that.
thnx
|
|
|
|
|
what events do you think are present?
|
|
|
|
|
like click event, double click event etc
|
|
|
|
|
i don't think you can trap those events... maybe some api call but vb itself doesn't seem to allow it.
|
|
|
|
|
There are no events for the title bar of the form.
|
|
|
|
|
How about:
me.text = "Whatever you want here"
or:
dim whateverHere as string<br />
<br />
whateverHere = yourFunction<br />
<br />
me.text = whateverHere
The second one is more complete and probably better for your purposes.
Maybe that's what you were looking for. Hope it helps!

I Want To Programing Mobiles With VB
Can Any One Help Me?
Can You Send Me Any 3Th Part Program?
Tanks

You mean vb.net? or vb6.
You nead to be more specific.
For vb.net theres the .Net Compact Framework[^] that works on Windows Mobile phones.
For vb6 i think theres probably no chance.

Hi
I Want Write Program For All Mobiles
Not For Only Windows Based Mobiles

Then you can't use VB.NET for that. Not every mobile phone supports every language and runtime out there. If you want your application supported on EVERY phone out there, you'll have to rewrite your app in various languages to do that.

hi all
i working on an application like word
i need to zoom, resize the richtextbox as well as the font and other element on the richtext box accordingaly the size of richtextbox.
as in word
any idea, any documentation or any thing else
any kind of help is thankful
thnx in advance
|
|
|
|
|
well you need to create yourself a scale system.
Dim ZoomScale as decimal = 1 'for 100%<br />
Dim OriginalSize as Size = me.textbox.size<br />
Dim PreZoomFont as Font
then on when the user changes the zoom do this: If they put in an integer value, divide it by 100. Then multiply the textbox's width and height by this value and the font size by this value also.
For instance:
User enters: 135%
ZoomScale = 135/100 'Need to keep track of this so you can go back to 100 or any other scale.<br />
me.textbox.size = new size(me.textbox.width * Zoomscale, me.textbox.height * Zoomscale)<br />
'can't remember exactly how to do the font but i'm sure you'll figure that out.<br />
'This could need some work it's just conceptual
|
|
|
|
|
i think to use the ruler like control but i can't find any thing like that
i need to zoom but also make the richtextbox to change the size like a4 to letter or envelop
|
|
|
|
|
well...if you have those page measurements stored, a4 is 297 mm x 210 mm, then you can easily sort page size, for instance, set the width then adjust the height by the ratio of (298/210)

Hi.. all
i'm new in visual basic.NET. Recently i make some program that running 24 hour, like server. When i test my code, i founded my usage of memory actually keep rising and make my computer hang.
So, can anyone give me some comment???

Call Dispose on any objects you are allowing to go out of scope, if it's offered.

Hi ...
Thanks to give me some comment.
I was call Dispose function to release any object that i created... but it my code still increase usage memory. in 8 hour, my memory increase 100 KBytes.
Actually i created some service application to accessing a serial port.
Here some code that i used to read a serial port continously:

Don't keep things around that you no longer need; examples: when no longer needed
- a Form should be closed, not hidden;
- a file, a socket, ... should be closed;
- an object should be removed from whatever collection it happens to be in (List,
ArrayList,...).
As far as Dispose() goes, adding to what Christian said, most people seem to
forget Disposing of dialogs (don't know if that really is relevant to server software)
You are not calling CreateGraphics by any chance ? Most methods with create in their
name return objects that you should also dispose of.
