In this video I tell you how to get Visual Basic for mac, even though it isn't the exact copy it is the closest you will get and trust me it is almost exactly the same. Find Help on using the Visual Basic Editor. In the Visual Basic Editor, on the Help menu, click Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Help. In the Search box, type the method, property, function, statement, or object that you want help with, or type a query.

At this morning’s Connect(); 2016 keynote, Nat Friedman and James Montemagno introduced Visual Studio for Mac, the newest member of the Visual Studio family.Visual Studio for Mac is a developer environment optimized for building mobile and cloud apps with Xamarin and .NET. It is a one-stop shop for .NET development on the Mac, including Android, iOS, and .NET Core technologies. Sporting a native user interface, Visual Studio for Mac integrates all of the tools you need to create, debug, test, and publish mobile and server applications without compromise, including state of the art APIs and UI designers for Android and iOS.
Both C# and F# are supported out of the box and our project templates provide developers with a skeleton that embodies the best practices to share code across mobile front ends and your backend. Our new Connected Application template gives you both your Android and iOS front ends, as well as its complementary .NET Core-powered backend.
Once you’re up and running, you’ll find the same Roslyn-powered compiler, IntelliSense code completion, and refactoring experience you would expect from a Visual Studio IDE. And, since Visual Studio for Mac uses the same MSBuild solution and project format as Visual Studio, developers working on Mac and Windows can share projects across Mac and Windows transparently.
With multi-process debugging, you can use Visual Studio for Mac to debug both your front end application as well as your backend simultaneously.
Visual Studio for Mac provides an amazing experience for creating mobile apps, from integrated designers to the code editing experience to the packaging and publishing tools. It is complemented by:
- The full power of the beloved-by-millions C# 7 programming language
- Complete .NET APIs for Android, iOS, tvOS, watchOS, and macOS
- The Xamarin.Forms API abstraction to maximize code sharing
- Access to thousands of .NET libraries on NuGet.org to accelerate your mobile development
- Highly optimized native code backed by the LLVM optimizing compiler
But we know apps don’t stop at the client, which is why I am so excited about what Visual Studio for Mac brings to backend development, as well.
Check out the release notes for a complete list of what’s included in this product.
It is rare these days for mobile applications to run in isolation; most of them have a backend that does the heavy lifting and connects users.
You can use .NET Core to build your own backend services and deploy these to your Windows or Linux servers on Visual Studio for Mac, while the project templates will get you up and running with an end-to-end configuration.
Additionally developers can easily integrate Azure mobile services into their application for things like push notifications, data storage, and user accounts and authentication with Azure App Services. This is available in the new “Connected Services” project node.
Whether you are rolling out a custom backend with ASP.NET Core, or consuming pre-packaged Azure services, Visual Studio for Mac will be there for you.

Download Mac_Theme_for_WinForms.zip - 2.56 MB Introduction
Some programmers might want to apply some themes or skins to their forms so that it will look cool, sophisticated, and attractive. I have created a Mac OS X open source theme library for everyone and the usage of it is indicated on this article.
Background
I'm a die-hard Apple Mac OS X fan. Unfortunately I can't buy a Mac so I want to have the look and feel of Mac OS X Applications on my Windows Forms Application. I created a library so I can use it on any of my WinForms. This idea of mine doesn't modify the non-client area of a form, but creates a new pre-designed mac themed borderless form and makes your target form as its child control.
How it was created
The theme was purely made up of a borderless form with lots of double-buffer enabled panels, each specially positioned to serve as the title bar, control buttons,resizing grips, and container of the form you want to apply the theme.
This form includes several events such as resizing, moving, maximizing, minimizing, and closing. The target form (form where the theme is to be applied) was converted into a control and it will be owned by the Form Container (panel|
bodypanel
).This mac themed form behaves normally the same way as a regular Windows border do. Here are some controls that make this custom theme similar to a regular Windows border.
Titlebar
-> This is where the form's text property is shown, via a centered label control. This part holds the caption and the control buttons (close, maximize/restore, and minimize buttons). You can move the window by dragging this part or maximize/restore the window by double-clicking.
Control Buttons
-> Includes the close, maximize/restore, and minimize buttons. As a normal Windows border do, you can use these buttons to close the form, maximize, restore, and minimize the window.
Borders
-> These are the edges of the form where we can perform the resizing operations.
Caption
-> Displays the Form's Text property.
Client Area
-> This is where the main graphical user interface of the application is found.
Controls that make up the Mac Theme
Here are the controls that are included in the
mactheme
Form class:Control Name | Description |
mactheme | This is the main borderless form that holds all the controls below. |
bodypanel | This panel holds the form where you applied the theme. (form transformed into a low-level control and is owned by this control) |
bottompnl | The black 1px bottom border responsible for resizing. |
bottompnl2 | bottompnl resizing grip extension. |
rightpnl | The black 1px right border responsible for resizing. |
rightpnl2 | rightpnl resizing grip extension. |
leftpnl | The black 1px left border responsible for resizing. |
leftpnl2 | leftpnl resizing grip extension. |
toppnl | The black 1px top border responsible for resizing. |
titleCaption | Shows the Text property of the form where your applied the theme. |
controlboxToolTip | Enables the control buttons to show their descriptions through a tooltip. |
cmdClose | Closes the form. |
cmdMaxRes | Maximizes/restores the form. |
cmdMin | Minimizes the form. |
swresize | Resizing grip for the bottom-right corner. |
nwresize | Resizing grip for the bottom-left corner. |
panelmod1 | (I forgot to rename this, sorry)The title bar. |
Each of these controls have event handlers for them to function accordingly. Resizing and moving functions use unmanaged codes (
SendMessage
and ReleaseCapture
). The image below shows a demo form. (Right=normal Windows theme|FormBorderStyle: Sizable; TopLevel:True;) and (Left= Mac theme|FormBorderStyle:none;TopLevel:False;ParentForm:mactheme)
Using the code
This library can generate three types of Mac themed form:
![Vb.net Editor For Mac Vb.net Editor For Mac](/uploads/1/3/3/8/133899157/787985575.png)
1. Thick Borders | Sizable (no top corners resize)
2. Thick Borders; Resize disabled | Dialog Window
3. Thin Borders | Sizable ( no corner resize)
Namespaces Included:
Here are the following functions to apply the theme. [Recommended to be written the Load event for the form]
A] Select Form where you want to apply the theme. Create a Load event for the form.
B] Create instance:
C] Apply Theme [only one can be applied for each form]
1. Thick Borders | Resizable
2. Thick Borders; Resize disabled | Dialog Window

3. Thin Borders | Resizable (You can put
null
on the parentForm parameter if the dialog doesn't have any owner.Remember:
-> When assigning the owner of a form WITHIN a form that has this mac theme, do not type
this
, instead type this
.ParentForm
because your form becomes child control once you apply the mac theme. Vb Editor Excel
Some Code Snippets Included
You can transform a form into a low level control by using these codes...
This library uses some Windows API for the moving and resizing operation.
I have used panels that are double-buffered enabled to prevent flickers.
Some Minor Problems
a] You may find resizing difficult especially on the thin border theme.
b] Form ownership must be clearly stated. Remember that the Mac themed form will be the owner of the form where you applied the theme.
