What exactly is affected when isMultiLine set to True for the Dialog widget? I've tried setting that and don't see any visual difference.

In a Wix Installer, I have a checkbox on a custom screen.
I have to invoke a DoAction code when a check box is checked and another DoAction when it is unchecked.
All the searches on Stack Overflow are referring to build time conditional code. But I want it for runtime when Wix Installer is running and the user checks the checkbox. Also I don't want it inside the Custom Action dll.
e.g code.
if (Checkbox is checked)
{
Set property GLOBALAUTHOR = property LOCALAUTHOR
set property phonenumber to ""
}
else
{
Set property GLOBALAUTHOR = ""
}
Any pointers will help.
Checkboxes are an associated property and a value when checked (customizable) and a value when not checked (null)
You don't need a DoAction for what you show here. Just use a series of mutually exclusive events.
SetProperty GLOBALAUTHOR = [LOCALAUTHOR] condition CHECKBOXPROPERTY
SetProperty PHONENUMBER {} condition CHECKBOXPROPERTY
SetProperty GLOBALAUTHOR = {} condition Not CHECKBOXPROPERTY
{} means to set the property to an null value.
I set the borderstyle of my form to none but this title bar still appears and i have no idea what this belongs to
This is when i set my border style so that it is visible
Try setting the ControlBox of the form to false, like this:
Me.ControlBox = False
I'm having a panel inside another panel. Now I need to alter inner panel's visibility based on certain condition. But I'm unable to change. It always remains to False. Here is the code I'm trying to:
PnlTagFolders.Visible = True 'Always remains False.
PnlTagFolders.BringToFront()
Here is the screenshot for reference:
You can't make a Panel visible if the parent Panel isn't visible. So make sure the parent Panel is visible (.Visible = True).
true if the control and all its child controls are displayed; otherwise, false. The default is true.
source: Microsoft Docs
See the following:
ChildPanel.Visible = False
ParentPanel.Visible = False
ChildPanel.Visible = True
Debug.Print(ChildPanel.Visible) 'False
Another example:
ChildPanel.Visible = False
ParentPanel.Visible = True
ChildPanel.Visible = True
Debug.Print(ChildPanel.Visible) 'True
I have the following code to select a custom control. But it does not want to set the active control to 'uPnlEntryOptions'. I have tried using control.select as well, same result. I have also tried
ActiveControl = uPnlEntryOptions
Code
uPnlEntryOptions.Visible = True
uPnlEntryOptions.Refresh()
uPnlEntryOptions.Select()
uPnlEntryOptions.Focus()
Debug.Print(CStr(uPnlEntryOptions.Focused))
Debug.Print(CStr(uPnlEntryOptions.CanFocus))
Output
False
True
The Focused property is true only if the control has the focus, not a sub-control.
Calling Select (or Focus?) on a UserControl will select the first child control. Afterwards the UserControl.ContainsFocus = True since the focus is WITHIN the UserControl, but the UserControl.Focused = False, since the UserControl itself isn't the focused control.
I am developing a Windows Application in VB.Net. In that, there is one case where there is one form, and in that form there is a Panel, and within the Panel there is a rich text box.
So my requirement is to get a scrollbar in the Panel. So when the user does scroll on the panel, the rich text box can scroll accordingly like MS Office functionality..
Can any one give me an idea how to do it?
Set Panel.AutoScroll = True and scrollbars will automatically appear whenever any controls in the panel fall outside its boundaries.
Set the .Dock property to FILL and the .WordWrap property to FALSE for the richtextbox.
Also set the Panel's .Dock property to FILL.
In order to use panel autoscroll property I do that:
panel.AutoScroll = true
panel.VerticalScroll.Visible = False or panel.HorizontalScroll.Visible = False
In order to know the dimensions of the scroolbars use
SystemInformation.HorizontalScrollBarHeight
SystemInformation.VerticalScrollBarWidth
So you can change the dimension of the panel when the scroolbar is shown.
