Visual Basic :: When Click, Button Become Dim/grey

Button Graphic - Remove Grey Box
Hello fellow VB'ers! I have a simple yet complex puzzle for you all.
When you put a graphic onto a button and view the button, you see the graphic but you also see the rest of the button's border..
For example, I have an Rounded Rectangle graphic with a rectangle box. Now when viewing the project, I see the graphic plus the rectangle box around the graphic..

Any way to remove this border or the command box, but keep the image as the button? Or better yet, is there a way to just make the graphic a button and not have to worry about any sort of borders?

Thanks for the help!

Changing Picture Of Button On Button Down Or Click??
Hello,

I am writing a a program for a radio interface... what I am trying to do is change the picture of a button once it is clicked or depressed. Example-- when I press the mute button, I would like the image on the button to change colors (indicating it had been pressed) and when you click it again it un-mutes and returns to the original image.

Hopefully I have explained myself well enough... any advice would SURE be appreciated...

Thanks in advance...

Button Click
i want to program a button so that when a user has clicked on a button a value increments. However if the user holds the button down it should still be firing that event - in other words still incrementing the values. So if the user clicks and holds the value increments (not having to keep clicking to get the incremented value). I know of the mouse down and click events but all of these only seem to register the first click (only one instance of incremental values). Does anyone know how i can do this?

Thanks

Button Click
I am trying to use API to click a button in another application. I already have the handle to the button, but can't seem to make the click event fire. It is a graphics button and does not respond to keyboard events, so the click is the only way I can think of.

I have tried using both SendMessage and PostMessage API calls with WM_LBUTTONDOWN and BM_CLICK and BN_CLICKED but nothing.

Any ideas?

Need To Click Twice On The Button
In my application, from the main form, another (modal) form is opened with another button having the focus. However when i click the button nothing seems to happen. But the second time i click the button, the click event gets fired.
It is such that i need to click on the form once(any where) and then click the button before i can get the button click to be fired. With the key board everything seems to be fine

Could any one have any idea why?

Thanx!

If Button.click?
How do I get it to check if the button has been clicked? and if it wasn't clicked, move on to check the next button?

    txtConversion.Text = txtConversion.Text & "01000001"
    ElseIf B_Click Then
    txtConversion.Text = txtConversion.Text & "TESTBIN"
    Else
    chekoct
    End If

Click A Button
Hey guys, I've got a Module, I'm trying to make a program click a button in another Application. I've been using the window handle and such to come up with a code to do so, I can make it send text to window and that, but when i try to make it click a BUTTON it doesn't work, but it will click into a text box.

Here is my Current Code to click a button....

Code:
Public Declare Function SendMessageByString Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As String) As Long
Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32.dll" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long

Public Const WM_LBUTTONDOWN = &H201
Public Const WM_LBUTTONUP = &H202

Public Declare Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowExA" (ByVal hWnd1 As Long, _
ByVal hWnd2 As Long, ByVal lpsz1 As String, _
ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long

Public Function Detect_Meridian_EditBox() As Long
meridian = FindWindow("Return of the Elves", vbNullString)
If (meridian <> 0) Then
edit = FindWindowEx(meridian, 0, "Button", vbNullString)
Else
MsgBox "Meridian 59 ROE doesn't seem to be running.", vbExclamation, "Meridian Detection Failure"
End If
Detect_Meridian_EditBox = edit
End Function

Public Sub Send_to_Window()
win = Detect_Meridian_EditBox
Call SendMessageByString(win, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0, 0)
Call SendMessageByString(win, WM_LBUTTONUP, 0, 0)
End Sub

Please assist me on making it click the button!!!

NOTE: The simplist way would be most appreciated, considering I'm just starting out, learning basics aswell as jumping ahead for my own fun ;).

Thanks!

p.s=> If helping me over an IM would be easier, please post, I got AIM, MSN, ICQ, AOL.

How Do I Click A Button On A Web Page
I am automating Internet Explorer to close orders on a website we use. I am able to enter all the data I want as well as click specific checkboxes. However, I have been unable to "Click" the save button. I think the problem revolves around there being 2 save buttons on the webpage with the same name. Here is the html with the button type and name.

HTML Code:
<div id="m_divBottomSave" align="center">
<input type="submit" name="save" value="Save" class="button">
Here is my code that i have tried.

Code:
IE.document.All("save").Click
The error says that this object doesn't support that property.

I have also tried send keys since if you are on the page you can hit enter to submit the page.

I have also tried IE.document.submit.

Any suggestions?

THanks,
Chuck

Mouse Click On A Button By Its Name
I've got to write a little automation routine to allow my users to push any of the buttons on various little (external) applications or dialogs.

I want to isolate the user from all the windows handle crud and just require them to give the titlebar text along with the text inside of the button to be pushed.

I pretty much know how to get the handle of an application by its titlebar text.

Now I want to send a mouse click to one of its buttons.

How would I make it so that my program will send the mouse click to a button by its name?

Do I use SendMessage?

This API stuff is killing me....

thanks for any help.

New 'Right Click' Section/button...?
You know when you right click on a screen or like a webpage or something and it will give you a list of options (like, save as background, copy, paste...). Well, I would like to know how to add an extra one in their. An example, when I have my program opened the right click would have an extra name in their, maybe something that says something like, 'Auto Save', or something like that. But of course when my program would be closed, it would not have this feature. If you do not understand, please tell me, and I will try to tell you again. Can you do this, and how?

Thanks!
