I have an app that uses multiple forms. I first created them with a parent MdiContainer. This works fine, but I hate having the container.
I don't want the user to be able to minimize the form that is being displayed within the container, but I havn't been able to figure out how to remove the caption bars on the forms being displayed within the container. I can disable their functionality, but my app really needs the space the caption bar uses.
I can display the forms without using a container, but then I lose the benefit of having a container that helps manage the position and size of the forms residing within and I can't have forms scattered all over the screen.
Any ideas on how to achieve what I am trying to do?
Thanks

Have you considered one form with control tabs?
|
|
|
|
|
I was thinking about using a control tab, but the tabs would have to be on the side instead of the top. I have come accross some custom controls like that, but havn't really liked the way they looked.
If it is possible to hide the tabs, I suppose I could hide the tabs and then use buttons to toggle through the pages?
Any additional input would be helpful.

As an example, Lavasoft's Ad-aware pictured at the link below has a box on the right, and buttons on the left. Pressing any one of the buttons on the left displays changes what is viewed in the box. My assumption is that this window is a form, containing buttons and some kind of control in which other controls can be embedded. What is this control or is it custom? I need some kind of framework that resembles this.
Note: I site this only as an example of a good UI and my program in no way resembles Lavasoft's Ad-aware program, nor what it does.

Ok, I think I have a solution...
Since I have all these forms made already, it would be helpful to be able use these forms. I did some experimenting and found I can create a form, then place a panel within it, and then add all my forms (setting the border to none and toplevel to false) to the panel's Controls Collection, and then display the forms as I wish.
Any problems to this approach? Better Ideas?

You have to reference the compiled DLL then use API style declarations to call functions it exports. See Primary Interop topics on MSDN.

Hey, I'm a beginner with vb.net. i want to apply a chunk of code to a string only if the string has the text "B800_" in it, so i used an if statement:
If sNewName = "B800_" Then
blahblahblah
End If
My problem is, i need any string that include "B800_" not equals it, so i need it to apply to strings like "B800_this" or "B800_12345"
Is there a way to make this happen? If there is a way to create an open string, or maybe something that checks if sNewName includes "B800_" then i could do something like
If sNewName Includes "B800_" Then
or
If sNewName = "B800_" & "anything" Then
Thanks for the help guys!

I would look at the IndexOf method from the String class.

What are you talking about? There is no map between user names and what machines they're logged into.

Hi
I need write a progam in .Net (c# or vb.net):
The program should display in a monitor(tv) files(e.g. *.avi, *.mpg, ...) and also display TV channnels(analogical signal) depending on a schedule(user defined)
what I must use? ... ¿Managed DirectX?
Helpme please
|
|
|
|
|
Managed Direct X will play your files, but it is crap. You should instead COM interop to plain DirectX yourself, or you should use the Windows Media Player as a control.
No amount of code will change the fact that your PC does not have the hardward to recieve a TV signal. I don't know if there's a standard API between TV card, but you definately need the card before you do anything else.

Becuase your question covers such a HUGE topic, this is probably the only response your going to get.

I need help to write a program that includes two functions named calc_avg() and varience(). The calc_avg() function should calculate and return the average of the values stored in a static array called testvals. The array should be declared in main() and include that values 89, 95, 72, 83, 99, 54, 86, 75, 92, 73, 79, 75, 82, and 73. The varience is obtained by subtracting the average from each value in testvals, squaring the values obtained, adding them, and dividing by the number of elements in testvals. The values returned from calc_avg() and varience() should be displayed in main()???

Written for console app....
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int[] testvals = { 89, 95, 72, 83, 99, 54, 86, 75, 92, 73, 79, 75, 82, 73 };
int avg = calc_avg(testvals);
Console.WriteLine("The average value is : " + avg);
int var = calc_var(testvals);
Console.WriteLine("The variance is: " + var);
Console.ReadLine();
}
private static int calc_avg(int[] testvals)
{
int tmpSum = 0;
for(int x = 0;x<= testvals.Length - 1;x++)
tmpSum += testvals[x];
return tmpSum / testvals.Length;
}
private static int calc_var(int[] testvals)
{
int[] tmpVal = testvals;
int tmpSqr = 0;
int tmpAdd = 0;
int avg = calc_avg(testvals);
//subtract average from each value
for (int x = 0; x <= testvals.Length - 1; x++)
tmpVal[x] = testvals[x] - avg;
//square each value in tmpVal
for (int x = 0; x <= tmpVal.Length - 1; x++)
{
tmpSqr = tmpVal[x] * tmpVal[x];
tmpVal[x] = tmpSqr;
}
//Add the values up
for (int x = 0; x <= tmpVal.Length - 1; x++)
tmpAdd += tmpVal[x];
//Divide result buy number of elements in testvals
return tmpAdd / testvals.Length;
}

Congratulations!  You just did his homework for him! 
Now, he hasn't learned a damn thing and will copy and paste you code into a project, turn it in as his own work, and get a failing grade for it! I hope your proud of yourself!
On top of that, this is the VB.NET Forum, not C++ or C#.

Your right Dave I did do his homework and hopefully he will get a failing grade for it to.
The code posted was written as an example. If cut and pasted into his assignment, most likely it will not match the requirements of the assignment. As far as him learning something, it would be a lesson. A lesson that teaches not to copy someone's examples but to study them and learn from the example provided. Books do this all the time, at least the ones I read.
I do appologize for posting in the incorrect forum!
Cheers

Here's something funny. I dunno how well the code that was posted works, but he's chosen not to use it, he's asked the same question again in the C# forum.

I strongly advise you to either start doing your own homework ( and at least learn to read, this is the VB.NET forum ), or practice saying 'do you want fries with that' in front of the mirror.

Hi,
I want to create a datagrid having only single row, editable too. because I want to create a filter type application where user can specify text to filter in the grid.
The problem is whenever user write anything in the first row, second row appears automatically, which is not required.
Plz help
|
|
|
|
|
Sounds like you should use a textbox vs. a datagrid.
