Remove border of a tabcontrolbox in visual studio 2015 [duplicate] - vb.net

How can I make a transparent tabPage? I found solutions like set both Form's BackColor and TransparencyKey to a color like Color.LimeGreen or override OnPaintBackground with a empty method but TabPage doesn't have neither TransparencyKeyproperty norOnPaintBackground` method. How can I do that?

TabControl is a native Windows component, it always draws the tab pages opaque with no built-in support for transparency. Solving this requires a little helping of out-of-the-box thinking, a tab control with transparent tab pages simply devolves to just the tabstrip being visible. All you have to do is use panels to host the controls that are now on the tab pages and make the correct one visible with the SelectedIndexChanged event.
Best to stick this in a derived class so you can still use the tab control normally at design time. Add a new class to your project and paste the code shown below. Compile. Drop the new control from the top of the toolbox onto the form, replacing the existing one.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
class TransparentTabControl : TabControl {
private List<Panel> pages = new List<Panel>();
public void MakeTransparent() {
if (TabCount == 0) throw new InvalidOperationException();
var height = GetTabRect(0).Bottom;
// Move controls to panels
for (int tab = 0; tab < TabCount; ++tab) {
var page = new Panel {
Left = this.Left, Top = this.Top + height,
Width = this.Width, Height = this.Height - height,
BackColor = Color.Transparent,
Visible = tab == this.SelectedIndex
};
for (int ix = TabPages[tab].Controls.Count - 1; ix >= 0; --ix) {
TabPages[tab].Controls[ix].Parent = page;
}
pages.Add(page);
this.Parent.Controls.Add(page);
}
this.Height = height /* + 1 */;
}
protected override void OnSelectedIndexChanged(EventArgs e) {
base.OnSelectedIndexChanged(e);
for (int tab = 0; tab < pages.Count; ++tab) {
pages[tab].Visible = tab == SelectedIndex;
}
}
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing) {
if (disposing) foreach (var page in pages) page.Dispose();
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
}
Call the MakeTransparent() method in the form's Load event handler:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
transparentTabControl1.MakeTransparent();
}

Change the backcolor of current line of caret position [duplicate]

I have uploaded a image of what i want to achive...
So as you can see i want to highlight the line i click on [And update it on _textchanged event!
Is there any possible way of doing this in any colour... doesnt have to be yellow. I have searched alot but i cant understand how to get the starting length and end length and all of that.
It has confused me alot and i don;'t understand and would require some help.
Thanks for all help that is given in this thread. Also it is windows form. Im making a notepad app like notepad++ or some other notepad app... .NET Windows Form C# RichTextBox
You'll need to create your own control that inherits from RichTextBox and use that control on your form. Since the RichTextBox does not support owner drawing, you will have to listen for the WM_PAINT message and then do your work in there. Here is an example that works fairly well, though the line height is hard coded right now:
public class HighlightableRTB : RichTextBox
{
// You should probably find a way to calculate this, as each line could have a different height.
private int LineHeight = 15;
public HighlightableRTB()
{
HighlightColor = Color.Yellow;
}
[Category("Custom"),
Description("Specifies the highlight color.")]
public Color HighlightColor { get; set; }
protected override void OnSelectionChanged(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnSelectionChanged(e);
this.Invalidate();
}
private const int WM_PAINT = 15;
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
if (m.Msg == WM_PAINT)
{
var selectLength = this.SelectionLength;
var selectStart = this.SelectionStart;
this.Invalidate();
base.WndProc(ref m);
if (selectLength > 0) return; // Hides the highlight if the user is selecting something
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromHwnd(this.Handle))
{
Brush b = new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(50, HighlightColor));
var line = this.GetLineFromCharIndex(selectStart);
var loc = this.GetPositionFromCharIndex(this.GetFirstCharIndexFromLine(line));
g.FillRectangle(b, new Rectangle(loc, new Size(this.Width, LineHeight)));
}
}
else
{
base.WndProc(ref m);
}
}
}

MasterDetailView UWP - Access the ListView (or make it scroll)

I recently discovered the UWP Community Toolkit and I loved it. I'm using now the MasterDetailView and it's almost perfect for what I need: but it's missing one important thing: I cannot access the internal "ListView".
In my application I have two buttons: forward and back, and when pressing them I simply go forward and back in the list. I found a trick to access the prev/next element doing like this:
public void GoForward()
{
if (MasterDetailView.Items.Count > 0)
{
bool isNextGood = false;
MyItem selectedItem = MasterDetailView.Items[MasterDetailView.Items.Count - 1] as MyItem;
foreach (var v in MasterDetailView.Items)
{
if (isNextGood)
{
selectedItem = v as MyItem;
break;
}
if (v == MasterDetailView.SelectedItem)
isNextGood = true;
}
MasterDetailView.SelectedItem = selectedItem;
}
}
This just because I cannot access the "SelectedIndex" and I have only SelectedItem avaiable. Now, obviously not all the item can be visible at the same time, so MasterDetailView provide a lateral ListView with a scrollbar. When pressing my next/prev buttons SelectedItem changes, but doesn't scroll at the selected element: selection goes forward/back but the list is locked. This produce a very negative feedback because I lost my selection somewhere in the list and I must search it.
How I though to solve it? I try this approaches:
1) Find the style for MasterDetailView. Inside I found a ListViewStyle, so I tried to put inside a simple "SelectionChanged" event and handle it at App.xaml.cs.
<ListView x:Name="MasterList"
Grid.Row="1"
IsTabStop="False"
ItemContainerStyle="{TemplateBinding ItemContainerStyle}"
ItemTemplate="{TemplateBinding ItemTemplate}"
ItemTemplateSelector="{TemplateBinding ItemTemplateSelector}"
ItemsSource="{TemplateBinding ItemsSource}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
SelectionChanged="MasterList_SelectionChanged"/>
CS:
private void MasterList_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
ListView list = sender as ListView;
list.ScrollIntoView(list.SelectedItem);
}
But, as said, "Events cannot be set in the Application class XAML file".
2) Think about taking the parent of SelectedItem: I tried to convert the SelectedItem in ListViewItem, then access the parent, but it fails at first conversion, as the SelectedItem seems no to be a ListViewItem, but it's of the "MyItem" type. Like this, I cannot access the parent.
private void MasterDetailView_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
var item = MasterDetailView.SelectedItem as ListViewItem;
var parent = item.Parent;
var list = parent as ListView;
}
And so I'm here... I don't want to throw away all my work with the MasterDetailView to pass to another control. Is there any simple method to access the list, or simply, scroll the list when I'm changing selection? Just wanna to do one thing, like this:
private void List_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
ListView list = sender as ListView;
list.ScrollIntoView(list.SelectedItem);
}
Simply scrolling into selection when selection changed occurred, but I have no simple ListView but a MasterDetailView control. Even if it's done entirely in XAML: the most important thing for me is make scroll this list!
Thanks.
 
 
Solution
This method is fantastic. Just copy-paste.
public static T FindChildOfType<T>(DependencyObject root) where T : class
{
var queue = new Queue<DependencyObject>();
queue.Enqueue(root);
while (queue.Count > 0)
{
DependencyObject current = queue.Dequeue();
for (int i = 0; i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(current); i++)
{
var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(current, i);
var typedChild = child as T;
if (typedChild != null)
{
return typedChild;
}
queue.Enqueue(child);
}
}
return null;
}
Then simply use it to retrive the list and make it scroll. Yes babe!
private void MasterDetailView_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
var v = FindChildOfType<ListView>(MasterDetailView);
v.ScrollIntoView(MasterDetailView.SelectedItem);
}
Please note that "MasterDerailView" Is the x:Name of my element, not the class.
You can use a FindChildOfType implementation to get the ListView through VisualTreeHelper, as indicated in this answer:

How to make a form's area not clickable without disabling its controls

I have a Winform project in VB.net 2013.
On a form I have a lot's of controls.
When a condition is true , I need to make all the controls inside a specific form's area , not clickable ( but without disabling them )
Of course , when the condition became false the area should return to normal state.
Thank you !
You could assign a NativeWindow to each control and intercept the HITTEST message.
E.g. This example only does it for the immediate Form's children. You could also recurse through all the children.
Form f = new Form();
f.Controls.Add(new Button { Text = "test test test "});
Form f2 = new Form();
CheckBox cb = new CheckBox { Text = "Toggle" };
f2.Controls.Add(cb);
List<NW> nws = null;
cb.CheckedChanged += delegate {
if (nws == null) {
nws = new List<NW>();
foreach (Control c in f.Controls) {
nws.Add(new NW(c.Handle));
}
}
else {
foreach (var nw in nws)
nw.ReleaseHandle();
nws = null;
}
};
f.Show();
Application.Run(f2);
class NW : NativeWindow {
public NW(IntPtr hwnd) {
AssignHandle(hwnd);
}
const int WM_NCHITTEST = 0x84;
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) {
if (m.Msg == WM_NCHITTEST)
return;
base.WndProc(ref m);
}
}
Place all controls in a PANEL and then disable that panel.
panel.Enabled= false;

XAML: Tap a textbox to enable?

In XAML and WinRT, Is there a way to set up a textbox so that it is disabled for text input until it is tapped.
I tried setting up the Tapped event and then setting the IsEnabled=true, but that only seems to work if the IsEnabled=true in the first place.
I found this on MSDN:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winappswithcsharp/thread/708c0949-8b06-40ec-85fd-201139ca8b2d
Talks about adding the TappedEvent manually to the event handled for each TextBox, which is cumbersome, but also doesn't seem to work unless IsEnabled was already set to true.
Basically, I want a form where all textboxes display data but are disabled unless the user taps to enable the box and then type.
You can use IsReadOnly instead of IsEnabled to achieve what you are looking for. In addition, you can set up the tapped event handlers in code easily. I'm not sure if setting up handlers in code is a requirement for this to work, as you noted above; however, it does simplify things.
Here are the details.
In the constructor of your page class (here it is MainPage), call the setup function:
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
// call the setup for the textboxes
SetupTextBoxes();
}
Here is where we do the magic - make all textboxes on this page readonly and set up tap handler:
private void SetupTextBoxes()
{
var tbs = GetVisualChildren<TextBox>(this, true);
foreach (var tb in tbs)
{
tb.IsReadOnly = true;
tb.AddHandler(TappedEvent, new TappedEventHandler(tb_Tapped), true);
}
}
Utility function to get a list of all children of the given type (T) of the passed in parent.
private List<T> GetVisualChildren<T>(DependencyObject parent, bool recurse = true)
where T : DependencyObject
{
var children = new List<T>();
int numVisuals = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent);
for (int i = 0; i < numVisuals; i++)
{
DependencyObject v = (DependencyObject)VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, i);
var child = v as T;
if (child == null && recurse)
{
var myChildren = GetVisualChildren<T>(v, recurse);
children.AddRange(myChildren);
}
if (child != null)
children.Add(child);
}
return children;
}
Finally, the event handler. This enables each textbox when tapped.
private void tb_Tapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
((TextBox)(sender)).IsReadOnly = false;
}

How to make a custom ComboBox (OwnerDrawFixed) looks 3D like the standard ComboBox?

I am making a custom ComboBox, inherited from Winforms' standard ComboBox. For my custom ComboBox, I set DrawMode to OwnerDrawFixed and DropDownStyle to DropDownList. Then I write my own OnDrawItem method. But I ended up like this:
How do I make my Custom ComboBox to look like the Standard one?
Update 1: ButtonRenderer
After searching all around, I found the ButtonRenderer class. It provides a DrawButton static/shared method which -- as the name implies -- draws the proper 3D button. I'm experimenting with it now.
Update 2: What overwrites my control?
I tried using the Graphics properties of various objects I can think of, but I always fail. Finally, I tried the Graphics of the form, and apparently something is overwriting my button.
Here's the code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnDrawItem(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs)
Dim TextToDraw As String = _DefaultText
__Brush_Window.Color = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Window)
__Brush_Disabled.Color = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.GrayText)
__Brush_Enabled.Color = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.WindowText)
If e.Index >= 0 Then
TextToDraw = _DataSource.ItemText(e.Index)
End If
If TextToDraw.StartsWith("---") Then TextToDraw = StrDup(3, ChrW(&H2500)) ' U+2500 is "Box Drawing Light Horizontal"
If (e.State And DrawItemState.ComboBoxEdit) > 0 Then
'ButtonRenderer.DrawButton(e.Graphics, e.Bounds, VisualStyles.PushButtonState.Default)
Else
e.DrawBackground()
End If
With e
If _IsEnabled(.Index) Then
.Graphics.DrawString(TextToDraw, Me.Font, __Brush_Enabled, .Bounds.X, .Bounds.Y)
Else
'.Graphics.FillRectangle(__Brush_Window, .Bounds)
.Graphics.DrawString(TextToDraw, Me.Font, __Brush_Disabled, .Bounds.X, .Bounds.Y)
End If
End With
TextToDraw = Nothing
ButtonRenderer.DrawButton(Me.Parent.CreateGraphics, Me.ClientRectangle, VisualStyles.PushButtonState.Default)
'MyBase.OnDrawItem(e)
End Sub
And here's the result:
Replacing Me.Parent.CreateGraphics with e.Graphics got me this:
And doing the above + replacing Me.ClientRectangle with e.Bounds got me this:
Can anyone point me whose Graphics I must use for the ButtonRenderer.DrawButton method?
PS: The bluish border is due to my using PushButtonState.Default instead of PushButtonState.Normal
I Found An Answer! (see below)
I forgot where I found the answer... I'll edit this answer when I remember.
But apparently, I need to set the Systems.Windows.Forms.ControlStyles flags. Especially the ControlStyles.UserPaint flag.
So, my New() now looks like this:
Private _ButtonArea as New Rectangle
Public Sub New()
' This call is required by the designer.
InitializeComponent()
' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
MyBase.SetStyle(ControlStyles.Opaque Or ControlStyles.UserPaint, True)
MyBase.DrawMode = Windows.Forms.DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed
MyBase.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList
' Cache the button's modified ClientRectangle (see Note)
With _ButtonArea
.X = Me.ClientRectangle.X - 1
.Y = Me.ClientRectangle.Y - 1
.Width = Me.ClientRectangle.Width + 2
.Height = Me.ClientRectangle.Height + 2
End With
End Sub
And now I can hook into the OnPaint event:
Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
If Me.DroppedDown Then
ButtonRenderer.DrawButton(Me.CreateGraphics, _ButtonArea, VisualStyles.PushButtonState.Pressed)
Else
ButtonRenderer.DrawButton(Me.CreateGraphics, _ButtonArea, VisualStyles.PushButtonState.Normal)
End If
MyBase.OnPaint(e)
End Sub
Note: Yes, the _ButtonArea rectangle must be enlarged by 1 pixel to all directions (up, down, left, right), or else there will be a 1-pixel 'perimeter' around the ButtonRenderer that shows garbage. Made me crazy for awhile until I read that I must enlarge the Control's rect for ButtonRenderer.
I had this problem myself and the reply by pepoluan got me started. I still think a few things are missing in order to get a ComboBox with looks and behavior similar to the standard ComboBox with DropDownStyle=DropDownList though.
DropDownArrow
We also need to draw the DropDownArrow. I played around with the ComboBoxRenderer, but it draws a dark border around the area of the drop down arrow so that didn't work.
My final solution was to simply draw a similar arrow and render it onto the button in the OnPaint method.
Hot Item Behavior
We also need to ensure our ComboBox has a hot item behavior similar to the standard ComboBox. I don't know of any simple and reliable method to know when a mouse is no longer above the control. Therefore I suggest using a Timer that checks at each tick whether the mouse is still over the control.
Edit
Just added a KeyUp event handler to make sure the control would update correctly when a selection was made using the keyboard. Also made a minor correction of where the text was rendered, to ensure it is more similar to the vanilla combobox' text positioning.
Below is the full code of my customized ComboBox. It allows you to display images on each item and is always rendered as in the DropDownList style, but hopefully it should be easy to accommodate the code to your own solution.
