MCPs must be completed at authorised test centres.

The ones that relate to the job you are going for. It would be stupid to get an MCP in Windows Server 2003 administration if you want to write software.

Have you looked at http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcp/default.mspx[^]? It should tell you everything you need to know about earning a certification.

Hello,

You can use the following code to bind the picture in an Picture box on a button click.

       <br />
        Dim fod As New OpenFileDialog<br />
        fod.Filter = "JPG|*.jpg|BMP|*.bmp|All Files|*.*"<br />
        Dim dr As DialogResult<br />
        dr = fod.ShowDialog()<br />
        If dr = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then<br />
<br />
            PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage<br />
            PictureBox1.Load(fod.FileName)<br />
<br />
        End If<br />

If you have path of the picture in a string variable, you can pass the file name to the Load()
method of the PictureBox.

I hope this helps.

Allen

A MonthCalendar control maybe?? Its in the ToolBox under the "All Windows Forms" tab.

As for typing in notes, you'll have to provide that functionality, plus some way to save the notes and associate them with a date/time.

adding rotation to a custom control

diebugger3-Oct-07 0:47

3-Oct-07 0:47

Hi guys and ladies,

I created a custom control "ExtendedButton" that "Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Button", because I need to apply a rotation to this object.
I'm trying to use the overridable "OnPaint" sub but I cannot apply this rotation to the object, that's because I'm quite a newbie in VB.NET Smile | :)

My question is: anyone could me give some hints about adding rotation to an object like a BUTTON? Where I must look for info, exactly (do not answer me on MSDN, I know)? I don't wanna spend my youth in reading that brick-book ... if someone could give me a step-by-step procedure on what methods override and where to find them, it will be enough.

Thanks

Inheriting from Button isn't going to let you do this. The Button class will accept a click anywhere in the box that contains the image you draw.

You're going to have to implement this thing from scratch, to include all the properties to support how you want the button to be draw, including rotation, font size, text, alignment, ... You're also going to have to write all the drawing code, including rotation, and all the hit test code to test for mouse hovering over the button and click on the button image itself.

No matter what rotation you pick for the button, the control's drawing surface is always going to be an orthogonal (?) rectangle.

+----drawing surface----+
|              /\       |
|             /  \      |
|            /    \     |
|  Button   /      \    |
|   image  /        \   |
|         /          \  |
|         \          /  |
|          \        /   |
|           \      /    |
|            \    /     |
|             \  /      |
|              \/       |

You'll be spending that month doing it anyway. You have to understand controls very well, hit testing, GDI+ drawing, and have good planning skills.

No, it's not enough. You're basically writing an entire control from scratch. There is no step-by-step procedure. This is going to take a LOT of work and is not something that can be described in a few forum posts.

Hi... sorry for posting it here.

If IsNull(c_SignedEmployee) = False Then<br />
    dtpEmployeeSigned.Value = c_SignedEmployee.Value<br />
Else<br />
    dtpEmployeeSigned.Value = DateTime.Now<br />
End If

this is a code snippet i a using...
NOW
when i try to do the same with a new column it does not show up (Like with the c_SignedEmployee it shows up if you hit Ctrl+Space)

It doesn't seem to be picking it up???
What to do?

Dont ask me what i did... i have no idea.
It seems that if you wait long enough... it will eventually pick up the new column in the table and you are able to work with it then.

Funny that.

hi
a little example

Public Class MyControl
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl

Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseWheel(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)
If e.Delta <> 0 Then 'has wheel been moved?
'The .NET docs suggest that e.Delta returns the actual number of notches
'the mouse wheel has been rotated, but in actuality each roll of the mouse wheel
'returns a value of +/- 120 (depending on the direction of rotation).
'120 is actually a system constant, and therefore there is a possibility that it could
'change to allow for higher-resolution mouse wheels.

'check out <http: msdn.microsoft.com="" library="" en-us="" winui="" windowsuserinterface="" userinput="" mouseinput="" mouseinputreference="" mouseinputmessages="" wm_mousewheel.asp="">
'for more information
Dim zoomIn As Boolean = (e.Delta < 0)

End Sub

Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

' Do your paint stuff in this methode, such as draw images or draw text

Your best bet is to leave a file behind on uninstall which tells your app not to run, but I don't see how you can stop it installing.

look into 'serialisation'
it isn't easy but it will do what you want

If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.

The only way we learn is by making mistaks.

I already told you, you have to write your own serializer since Control's are not serializable themselves. You'd probably user Reflection to pick out the Properties you want and ignore others. This is NOT an easy thing to do and is NOT for someone who's a beginner to tackle. This requires knowledge of Reflection and XML document generation.

The PropertyGrid will NOT do this for you.
