I was wondering if there is any way to place existing text boxes into a toolbar in Visual Basic 2010. These text boxes are also linked to a database.
I need a way to have the textboxes on display when any tabpage is selected, therefore I thought perhaps having them in a toolbar above the tab bar would be a solution to the problem.
Many thanks.
I don't see why not how about a panel aligned on top of form. You can position the top of the TabControl wherever you want.

Can someone give me insight how can I achieve the form with panel title first and then menu bar below panel (barmanager). Because devexpress always put barmanager on top
Thank you
EDIT :
After I add standalonebardock, the result as picture shown below: the red bar is standalonebardock
UPDATE :
After I drag the barmanager menu into standalonedock, now it is already inside the dock. But the menu still on top docking, what I need how to make space above menu so I can write title/image/etc
The StandaloneBarDockControl control allows bars to be displayed at any position within the form, not simply docked to the form’s edge. To do this, create a StandaloneBarDockControl object and add bars to it. Bars can be added to the control at design time or runtime.
I am overlaying a bunch of panels on top of one another. I want to be able to click a button to display which ever panel is in the stack referred to by unique names (panel1, panel2...).
However, the bottom panel some how is always the parent of whoever is on top of it. Therefore, If I were to set the visibility of the bottom panel to false, then nothing on top of the bottom panel can be made visible.
How do I make these overlayed panels independent to each other instead of having a parent-child relationship?
I faced the same situation a time ago. The more pragmatic way that I found was to use a tab control and hide/show tabs accordingly. It is possible to get rid of the label of the tab, so users dont even know about its existence. The rule is to have one and only one tab visible in any given time.
With winforms, you can set Transparency of a form via setting up the TransparencyKey and the Backcolor of the form into the same color in the properties window.
However, the tabpages in the TabControl doesn't have these properties.
How will I make it so that a tabpage will show the desktop's contents?
Also, is there a way for me to show the icons in my desktop on the tabpage? The icons must still function as normal(can be double clicked to open the file, single clicked to rename and can be dragged around inside my tabpage.)
I am using VB.NET 2005. Any direction is greatly appreciated.
Apparantly, the answer is quite simple.
Just set the TransparencyKey of a form to a color that you wish to appear as transparent, then set the backcolor of the tabpage to that color (the color you've set on your form).

Using Visual Studio 2005 (vb.net) (windows forms) on Windows XP, I have a standard Microsoft TabControl.
A button click adds/removes an image from 1 of the Tabs.
Seems like the image is placed OVER my tab's text, making it unreadable.
Why isn't it like it should be: Image on the left. Followed by text on the right.
Why is the image being placed OVER my tab's text? Do I need to do some kind of "refresh" or "redraw" before it will appear as it should?
I don't see any way to "make the image appear on the left edge of the tab". (NOT the tab-page.) ... and then place the text just to the right of the image. (Just like a normal image+text tab can do.)
The code is pretty simple, it just gets an image from my ImageList:
cfgTab.ImageKey = "PadLockClosed.png" ' Show CLOSED PadLock
The tab's text changes from:
This is my tab text
to:
T(IMAGE HERE)is my tab text
The image appears OVER the beginning of my text. But if I move to another tab, then move back, the image appears in the correct position:
(IMAGE HERE) This is my tab text
You can use docking and anchoring on your Control property so it will be placed according on what you want it to display.
