Am creating WPF windows form application.
There are bout 7-8 usercontrols. Each user control has back and next button. When I click Next button, second form will appear and on Back previous form will appear. (You can image this with any installer)
Am able to show/hide forms. I want to add animation. As soon as I click Next button, control 1 must slide to left and control2 must come in from right (Imagine VS2012 setup)
I am using storyboard and able to slide controls but issue is control2 comes only after control1 disappear.
Please help me or provide code to achieve something like Visual Studio 2012 setup screens animation.
Am using this link (Page Transition Control) for reference.

I'm on Windows 10, maintaining a C# Desktop application using Visual Studio 2019, putting controls onto a Form (System.Windows.Forms.Form). I'm attempting to change an application; reworking where the controls go etc., so there is code and control design that I want to keep and put into different locations. I am using the visual designer and connecting to code using the control events (as opposed to creating the forms dynamically).
I have Document Outline visible on the left; I cut several groups of controls I intend to paste back later, so all that one particular TableLayoutPanel has in it now is two buttons. But I cannot find those buttons in the designer. I can see them in the Document Outline; they're in a TableLayoutPanel (in a group box in another TableLayoutPanel on a TabPage, etc.). When I click on a control in the Document Outline, the corresponding control is usually highlighted in the View; however, when I click on either of these buttons, nothing is highlighted in the view.
I tried resizing the Form (which determines the sizes of all these panels/tableLayoutPanels set to 'fill'); it's currently at 1367,850; one of the button locations shows as 664,752, but I don't know in what coordinate system that applies. I tried manually setting the location to 50,50 in the properties window, but it won't let me change that there.
These buttons appear at the bottom of the form; they've never appeared there, but I've noticed sometimes the designer has shown dotted-line outlines of them outside the form entirely. They appear in place when the application is run.
I've tried changing between the 100% scaling and the 125% scaling; that didn't help. For two buttons, I suppose I could delete them and recreate them, but there are many, many controls on this UI, and if there's some trick to making things appear I'd like to know about it.
Is there a trick to this that I'm missing?
I can't seem to fix this issue (which i hope is small) i have somehow when adding a ContextMenu did something to have the MainMenu bar not show up when i debug, if i click on the "MainMenu" in the designer (1st image) the menu bar shows up in the designer fine:
But if i click off it, then click on another control like:
The MainMenu disappears from the designer, when i build / debug the MainMenu is gone, is there a way to fix this easily enough (i assumed it would be as simple as checking a setting but googling did not return anything that i saw that was helpful)
Any help would be appreciated.
It looks like your MainMenu has ended up hidden behind your other controls. Try right clicking on the main menu and selecting Bring To Front. If you can't right click on it, right click on the control that's filling the rest of the form and select Send to back.
When you click on a menu control in the component tray it will always show it at the top of the screen (even if you click on a ContextMenu).
One other thing worth doing is to open the Document Outline window from the View->Other Windows menu in Visual Studio. This gives you a hierarchichal view of all the controls on the current form. You should be able to see your main menu here (unless you've somehow removed it from your form!)
I'm not good with customization of controls. However in my application I started using a customized tab. My customized tab didn't work. So I went on with using KRBTabControl. In my application I have used panels which are further placed in the individual tabs named Home,Reports,Settings. Everything works fine. But the issue that I face is that there is a delay in loading the controls when I click on various tabs. The controls placed inside the tab doesnt load properly.
Ex. If from Home I click to Settings. All the controls such as labels and button take a second to load. Which just seem awkward. I also tried double buffering the Form but still there is a delay. Is there a way using which I can make all the controls visible at the same time as soon as a new tab is clicked.
Any help would be really appreciated.
I am using Windows form in C# and i am trying to create one single form dialog that will be responsible displaying other dialogs within the boundary of it's dialog. To do that i tried Tab Control and it worked well and i can create different types of form in tab control easily without opening any separate forms.
but the problem is i don't want to use Tab control , I have some buttons on the main form at left side and clicking those buttons i want to display separate forms beside those buttons. I searched google but did not find any example like that nor i am able to find any control as this. My application is very simple one dialoge with left side buttons and on right side i want to show different forms based on those buttons... C# is not my native language but now i have to work on it and require help.
Kindly check the attached image for more information
Each page could be an instance of Panel, then show/hide the Panel instances according to which button is clicked....make them all the same size, shape, and position ;)
I am making a Multiple Choice test application using Windows Forms on Visual Studios. When a user answer one question, they will click next to proceed to the next question. Would I be able to use a single windows frame to display all my questions? When I do it on more then one windows form I had to do this.Hide() and then .Show() the other form. I don't have a problem with doing this but when it hide and shows the other windows form it isn't open on exact same position, it keeps moving.
You can create a UserControl that displays the question and the multiple choice answers. When the user clicks the Next button, you remove the UserControl from your form's Controls collection, create a new instance of your custom UserControl with the next question's details on it, and then add the new instance to your form's Controls collections. This structure will let you do the app on a single Form.
I would better suggest you to use Panel form the tool box for multiple forms. It would be better for the multiple choice questions.
Then for every panel use property visible set to either True or false depending on which panel you want to navigate.

You can use wizard.
Here you have two links:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/18674/A-Simple-Wizard-Control-for-Net-2-0-with-Full-Desi
Add this library to Toolbox:
Right click on the Toolbox and select "Add Tab" from the context menu.
Specify name for the newly created tab, such as "Wizard".
Activate the tab, right click on it and select "Choose Items..." for the context menu.
Now browse to the folder where is assembly "WizardBase.dll" and select it.

The simpler the better.
The simplest way is to make a panel, (in one window), and then add labels with your question and all options of the answer in that panel. Then on the click on the NEXT button, change the texts of all the labels at once.
As far as your problem of opening different windows on the same position on the screen, change the DefaultPosition property of all the forms to CenterScreen or CenterParent.
