I am trying to get 2 listview objects to work on a powerpoint slide. I can place them anywhere on the slide, but when I start the slideshow, 2 smaller copies appear in the upper-left corner. Text added to the listview appear in the upper-left boxes. I can't select the original listview either.
How can I prevent the 2 copies from showing up so I can work with the listviews I positioned on the slide?

I looked into it a bit, and I think it's just a glitch with the Listview control.
From my tests, the actual Listview control was smaller then the original, but the top left position was correct (after the first time in reading/presentation view). I assume the they are smaller because it doesn't have a zoom property, and the slide is stretched to fit the window.
If you really want a Listview...which I hate to call into question, but think is warranted...then you can just Insert a Rectangle without a border over the Listview control to hide the original placeholder. The real Listview will still get drawn on top.
I think this is just the beginning of your troubles with a Listview control in PowerPoint...are you sure that you need it. Maybe linking to an Excel file with the Listview would be better, or some use of animation.

So I'm having troubles making my FlowLayoutPanel work the way I want.
When adding multiple controls to it so that vertical scroll appears and when scrolled to bottom I don't want controls to be touching the bottom border of FlowLayoutPanel.
Padding works properly for all but the bottom side, controls are properly spaced away from the edges of the FlowLayoutPanel, I don't know why bottom is special.
I need a solution that does not include adding invisible/transparent controls to it.
The closest I got to what I want was lowering the clientsize by some amount, but then in that area control doesn't repaint so it shows parts of added controls forever.
Kind of fixed with with larger margins on child controls, so I'm closing this.
I'm struggling in making a form scrollbar to control the image transparency. To be specific, I've got two images that I'm linking to two buttons. Hide/show buttons, and I want the scrollbar to control the image transparency as shown in the image below. Your help would be appreciated. I can't wrap my head around to code it.
Here is a low-tech approach.
1) Create a rectangle and fill it with your picture. This doesn't require any VBA.
2) Insert the scrollbar and, using the properties, link your scrollbar to a cell with the default 0-100 range of the scrollbar's values. For example, in the following picture I linked it to J20:
Then, in a standard code module put:
Sub SetTransparency()
Sheets(1).Shapes("Rectangle 1").Fill.Transparency = Sheets(1).Range("J20") / 100
End Sub
(With of course things like Sheets(1), "Rectangle 1" and "J20" to be adjusted to match your situation)
Then - all you have to do is right click on the control and select Assign Macro to assign this macro to your control. It can be used like:
Possibly unfortunately (depending on your desires) the transparency doesn't change continuously as you scroll. AKAIK, you would need to use Active-X controls for that.
I am designing a VBA UserForm (in Excel, if it is relevant) and I would like some controls to be visually grouped together.. but when I put them in a frame, I am getting some undesired results (part of it has to do with the RefEdit control which seems to be particularly unhappy inside a frame).
Is there a way to draw a border around a group of controls on a form without putting them inside a Frame?
Use a label with the caption deleted and the border style set to fmBorderStyleSingle. It may appear on top of your other controls, so right click on it and select "send backwards" until it's behind your other controls.
The best way to do this would be to create the shape over where you need it to be. Drag highlight everything that you want on top of it, then right click and brink it all forwards. Then when you drag your shape back over the top it will in fact be underneath everthing else.
Hope that helps.
This worked for me and I was at first having the same issue where I had to choose to "Send Backward" up to 30 times per label in some cases. I found that hitting the Ctrl-K sends it to the back of all controls with one time hitting these keys.
EDITED:
I think we can just draw an image that resemble the grid using this article : drawing in a datagridview Currently creating a way to make the image drawn in tile mode. :)
Each time I develop a datacentric application using VB.NET regardless of how much the data displayed in the datagrid, I always want the grid to display full row of empty data, not just blank panel.
Can we achieve this using VB.NET design time property?
And also, we must not trigger the display of vertical scrollbar this way.. :)
Thanks
You might try doing a screen capture of the dgv when it is full of blank lines and use that as your background. However, you'll have a problem with the vertical lines if they resize the columns. In your picture you don't have any vertical lines so if you don't need them then just erase them and your problem is solved.
There's also the option of using the Virtual Mode. When you set that property to true then you can set the number of visible rows, but you are responsible for telling the dgv what each individual cell is supposed to contain: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2b177d6d.aspx
Or you can just add extra blank rows to whatever datasource you are setting your DGV to.
Use the ScrollBars property to turn the vertical scroll bar off.
Sometimes, I have a picturebox lets say 100x100. But the image it will display is actually 100x400.
I don't want to increase the size of the picturebox itself. Instead, I would like to create a vertical scrollbar (or horizontal if needed).
I could not find a scrollbar in the toolbox, so I guess I have to code it. But, how?
And I still wonder if I didn't make a mistake and didn't see the scrollbar in the toolbox. My apologies then :(
I suppose you could add separate scrollbar controls and sync their Scroll events up with the offset at which the picture in the PictureBox is drawn, but that sounds like actual work. There's a better way.
Add a Panel control to your form, and set its AutoScroll property to "True". This will cause the control to automatically show scrollbars when it contains content that lies outside of its currently visible bounds. The .NET Framework will take care of everything for you under the covers, without you having to write a single line of code.
Drag and drop your PictureBox control inside of the Panel control that you just added. The Panel control will then detect that one of its child controls is larger than its visible area and show scrollbars, thanks to the AutoScroll property. When the user moves the scrollbars, the portion of the image in your PictureBox that is visible will be automatically adjusted. Magic.
(The reason you have to use a Panel control as a container is because PictureBox does not inherit directly from the ScrollableControl base class, which is what provides the AutoScroll property.)
I tried this and it worked well. But I noted that if the picturebox is docked in the panel, the picturebox is automatically set to the size of the parent panel, and can't be set larger (at least not in any way I could find). This defeats the purpose of the technique. So -- put the picturebox on the panel, but don't dock it, and it will work perfectly.
There are no automatic scroll bars on a picture box, but you can add the VScrollBar (and HScrollBar) control to the form and handle the image scrolling manually by redrawing it at a different offset each time the Scroll event is fired.
