Do you know anyway to change the style and theme of a scroll bar in a vb.net application? I need code or program that changes all scroll bars of the form.
I've been searching the web and found programs to change color of scroll bar but they were mostly designed for websites and written in CSS or JavaScript code. I would be so thankful if you have a solution for it.
Thanks
There isn't any property or feature to change the style of scrollbar of WinForm control. You should have to choose WPF instead of WinForm.

I'm developing a Universal Windows App in VS2015 (C#, XAML).
I have an AppBarButton on a RelativePanel, The panel's background is black.
When I move the mouse over the button (Hover), it turns black with a darkgray background, which is not visible on a dark background:
Please tell me how to change the colors for the button in all mouse states: hover, mousedown,...etc.
Thank you
You need to create custom style template for button to overwrite the hover effect and behaviour.
Please open the button in Blend by using Edit A copy and then edit its template! you might need to remove some element.
Mostly it shall be a button as the property of changing color is exhibited by a button control
I have an add-in, developed using VSTO, that displays a custom task pane in Excel. This custom task pane holds a user control containing tree-view and other controls. I enabled AutoScroll for the user control and can see the traditional windows scroll bar when ever i re-size the control. However, i want the scroll bar to be similar to the scroll bars that exist in Thesaurus CTP in Excel 2013,when the CTP is in floating position and re-sized to smallest size, (i cant post images as i have reputation below 10). can any one provide pointers for this?
Also is there any way to restrict the minimum size of CustomTaskPane ?
Hello Guruteja,
You can handle the Resize event of the Control class to control the size of your form and set the min size programmatically.
It looks like you need to develop a custom control to imitate the built-in one. Or try searching for any third-party Windows Forms controls.
I'm referring to the Safari 8's tabbar control (which looks almost exactly the same with Xcode 6's tabbar + the horizontal scrolling, if I'm not mistaken)
Is it available somewhere? How do I proceed?
P.S.: If the answer is something along the lines of "It's a custom control. But you can do it very easily by subclassing... everything there is to subclass", I'm prepared for it! lol
It is a custom control: ScrollableTabBarView. You can inspect it using F-Script
The closest visual match is the Yosemite style of MMTabBarView. This control however does not implement scrolling.
Also check out LITabControl and KPCTabsControl
It is just a Segmented / Tab bar with customized Radio buttons with added NSButton(this is for closing the tab).
You could check this using Accessibility Inspector.
And there is no straightforward control to achieve this, as you mentioned in P.S., you should go with customizing the controls.
I'm trying to create a simple animation example on the Windows Phone 8, but I imagine this should apply for WPF, WinRT, etc. anywhere XAML is used.
How do you animate the opacity of an to change from 0 to 1 when a 's click event is fired?
I've seen many examples of animations, but the button is always animating it's own properties, not the properties of a different control. I know I'm missing something small but I'm stumped -- no matter what I try I get XAML parse exceptions. I can get this to work with C#, but not with XAML.

Is there a control in vb.net that is specifically designed for displaying content larger than the control itself?
I know it's possible to code your own using a panel and two scrollbars, but is there an already existing method for this?
Thanks for your help
All control containers, such as Panel, FlowLayoutPanel etc. have AutoScroll property, which does what you want.
