• Visual Basic Tab Control Problems in Beta 2

  It seems that the Alignment Property for the TabControl in Visual Basic in Beta 2 has problems. If you want the Tab Pages, tabs to be on the Left or Right side of a form, they will appear once set in the designer. But, any TEXT you put on the tabs is missing. With the Tabs set to TOP the text appears normally.  There is no errors raised or anything. Just no text. Have I missed something here I looked and tried several other settings and there is nothing in the Tab Page Collection that allows the text to appear vertically as it would need to be if the tabs are set for Left or Right.  james   ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to reload the window form and restore its original layout?

  Hi There, Our product called AssetViewer has a main UI (TabControl). The main UI changes dynamically to respond to the different AssetType. when displaying a new asset item, if the AssetType is different, the UI view is to be adjusted from its original layout instead of its previous state. Since the previous state has made too many changes and it may need more codes to track these changes. Thanks, Billy, Hi Nick, Very sorry to reply you so late. The "Window Form" mentioned in the question is a generic term. Our application UI is achieved by using Avalon. UI class inherits Window class ( public sealed ...Show All

• Visual Basic Accessing Public Function located in another Project referenced within the same Solution

  I've to a solution with two projects: Bungalow New Programs New Programs has a ref to Bungalow. Bungalow has a Module called Bungalow which has a Public Function (clone_control()) From within 'New Programs' I can not access Clone_Control. However, if I drag (wihin the Solution Explorer) the Bungalow module from Bungalow to New Programs, then it works OK. I thought that adding a reference was like letting all the contents of the referenced project be "in" in the referring project. Is this just the way it works or am I missing something MORE INFO In addition, if I ...Show All
