Hi all - we've recently switched up to 2005, and I'm having trouble
getting the hang of some things, among them, creating a control for the
project. Currently, we use a combination of controls on a TabControl -
mainly a grid on one tab, and a checkboxlist on the other, that
coordinate back and forth, so (un)checking a box will hide or show a
column on the grid. In addition, I would like the flexibility of adding
a DataSource at design time to the grid, and being able to edit the
columns displayed and maintained by the grid.
Initially, I simply copied the current setup to a control, which worked
well enough for appearance. However, I couldn't figure out how to
properly expose properties such as the Columns so that editing them
from my form would cause the changes to persist. They always
disappeared after rebuilding.
That led me to attempt to make a control that would provide the
majority of this, and simply allow a user to drop a grid onto a blank
tabpage. However, this is where I'm getting stuck, as I'm not sure how
to make a user control that will allow me to place another control on
it. I thought that creating an inherited control from TabControl would
allow me to do this, but I am unable to do so, as when I go to create
an Inherited Control in development, I am not allowed to use anything
other than UserControl (and the other controls I've made in this
project) as a base control.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hi,
If you want to create an inherited tab control I would add a new
class to the project and have it inherit tabcontrol.

Can anyone point me to a primer for creating OCX controls in VB .net? In particular, I want to access a web service in a VB6 application (not an easy thing to do). So, if I can write an ActiveX control that accomplishes this in .Net, then I SHOULD be able to add the OCX component to my VB6 app and use it. Unless someone knows why this wouldn't work....
Any and all help is appreciated.

Hi
1) I want to create a TabPage class in design mode - how do I do it? What
type of project should I use? Is it going to be a custom control?
2) I have a TabControl that I would like to add to it the TabPage created in
step 1. I don't want to draw the TabPage on the Tabcontrol in design mode,
but to have a few TabPage controls that I candynamicaly load to the
TabControl at runtime.
Thanks

Create a web user control to use as a base class for other web user

Now, create a new web user control, change the class it inherits from to
your base class and compile.
(You must have a <% Register %> so it will see it)
You will get TWO warnings per class like:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
