View 3 RepliesHow would I make my form unmovable so you cannot drag it to move it? I also need to know how to make it always start in the same exact spot. I don't know why but it changes spots even thought the location is set: 0,0
View 3 RepliesI have a second form that loads when the main form loads. It sits behind the main form, is mainly transparent and does not allow interaction from the User.
Its as if the form is on the desktop, which is what I'm going for.
I set the location of the form to be in the top right hand corner of the desktop. On my PC, which is a 23" monitor, it works and looks great. But when I use my application on a notebook or a smaller screen, the form gets cut off. Why is obvious, because of the screen size differences.
What I want to know is how I might set the form to a more... definitive position. Rather, relative to the size of the screen.
I haven't searched much yet, but maybe there is a way to set the location of the form to a specific location of the desktop, not relative to the size of the screen.
I'm having trouble setting a form's location in the load event.
config_set = File.ReadDatabaseKey(Public_Variables.settings_radar, _

If Misc.GetContainsOnlyNumbers(config_set) Then
Me.Location.X = CInt(config_set)
End If

View 3 RepliesI have a single form that I would like to move across the screen with my VB program. Of course it's simple to set the location X and Y property for compile time using the properties tab, but I want the form to move as the program runschanging the coordinates within a for-next loop.I can easily get the X and Y coordinates of the form within my program by using X = me.location where X has been dimmed as type point.console.writeline(X) will appear as {X=20, Y=40}. for example

View 5 RepliesVS 2008, vb.net, Win7 development machine. I've developed a Windows application with several different forms, and am using the My.Settings feature. This is the first time that I have used this feature. For each form, I have set the form's property binding 'location' property to an entry in 'settings' of My Project settings page of the VS 2008 development environment. The settings are set to user scope.
1.) Do I need to add any code to my application to make the settings work, or is it sufficient that I have the "Save My.Settings on shutdown" set to true?
2.) When I create my setup to install the application, what settings file (app.config?) do I install to the user's machine, and what folder should it be installed to?

I am a grade 11 student in high school and am struggling with a project in my computer programing class. in the project we are to create a mario game, where you have 2 pictureboxes (the player and the enemy) one picturebox, the player, is moved using the keypad, the goomba isn't moved at all. the object of the game is to 'kill' as many goombas as quick as possible. I need to make the game so that if the boundries of the player intersect witht he boundries of the goomba, the goomba will move to a random location.
I can't get the goomba to move to a random location, here is my code. I highlited and bolded the part of the code that I am having the prolem with.

I'm working on the Inventory section of the project I'm working on. This particular form holds a tab control, by default it has 2 tabs one named General, and the other named "New..". When the user clicks the New tab an input box opens to collect the name for the new Department, it then changes the name of the current "New.." tab, and then adds another tab and names it "New..". This process continues until they reach their limit of departments. The problem is that when the tab gets renamed, a listview control needs to be added into the tab. Adding the new control is simple, but setting it's position as the one in the previous tab has seemed to elude me. This is what I've tried.
Private Sub TabControl1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TabControl1.Click

I have a simple exe that loads a page from my site in a webbrowser where users need to enter login details to get on a secure page. Now everything works ok, except I have to use php for this and yeah cookies. So, I want to know if it's possible to set a special location for the cookies, since as some members report, they clean the cookies daily and this makes my exe "forget" that they are logged in. Any way to store cookies on same location with the exe so it won't get deleted by 3rd party tools like ccleaner or so.
View 8 RepliesWe're exporting a set of data using .net interop to Excel and our template file contains some images. Depending on the amount of columns we're exporting we want to position the image X pixels left of the last column depending on the image size/width. Using the record a macro function moving the Image around is a 'no op'. Setting the Shape.Left position also won't work.

I am currently working on a game that I want to add squirrels running around at random for me to kick off the form.
Ex..
picturebox.location=200,200
And I set a new location for it, as 5,5, how can iIget the picturebox to move to that coordinate, a few pixels at a time until it gets there, so it looks like my squirrel is running to that location?
Can the background image in a picture box be moved, or located some where else, not the top left corner?I am aware of the layout that can be changed but that is not what I am after.

Just started using the Windows Browser in one of my forms so the user can select a photo they need to load. This was surprisingly easy (This seems to be the norm in Basic, if you think it will be hard it isn't and visa versa). What I am struggling with is how to set the default location to 'Computer' rather than a disk letter and directory name. The photo is most likely to be on a card reader or Memory stick so the drive letter is likely to change.
I am guessing the command will be:
OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = ???????
Im in need of somehow a code that with a picturebox, depending on WHERE you click it will do something.

How to Picturebox Loacation Change My Arrow Key in Form
View 3 RepliesI have a picturebox (pbRows) that I want to always be aligned with the right side of the screen. The form may be wider than this (I have a horizontal scrollbar), but the picturebox always needs to be along the right edge of the screen. Currently I have this code snippet in the form_load subroutine:
Dim rowsX As New Integer rowsX = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width - pbRows.Width pbRows.Location = New Point(rowsX, 25) However, the picturebox is aligned with the right edge of the form (initially hidden off the screen). Am I missing something obvious?

I have an application that's going to be portable so it's likely the path of the database itself (access mdb file) will change so hard wiring the path in the app.config isn't practical. I would like to create a 'Settings' form for the user to enter the path (browse for would be ideal but I can figure that out later) of the database file and save it for future use with the same app. I've found a few things out there talking about creating a new app.config file alongside the original with a 'key' defined but I'm not sure how that relates to the original app.config and how it would call the new variable to make the connection.
