Is there any way in c# or VB to automatically move the controls in a panel when the window is resized. I do not want the Anchor property, which only resizes the control. THe use is that controls are added at runtime to the form, and when the locations/values are loaded on a computer with a larger monitor, they are in the incorrect positions.
View 8 RepliesI am creating an application where I can move resize controls around and this way set up an application. I need to know how to select a control (e.g.: textbox, button...) at runtime as I would do in Visual Studio for example.Then once I could do this the next question would be how can I change the icon of the mouse when it goes onto such control?

View 2 RepliesI'm using this control in a application to load the URL of a .jpg image. The thing is that the image is bigger than the control, so I want it to automatically resize the image, as IE does when the same thing happens there, and it even shows a little magnifier glass to restore the image to full size.How can this be achieved? What happens at default is that the image is bigger than the control, so a quarter of it shows and I have to scroll to see the rest.
View 4 Repliesi have a form with a picture as background. On this picture I want to buttons or pictures (click areas where lamps are). I have made a transparant picturebox and when clicked he shows a small picture of a lamp indicating the light is on.The form should be full screen.The problem is: When the form is used on different monitors with different resolutio settings, or when the form is resized, the pictures are on another (wrong) part of the picture. that the pictureboxes stay on the correct position related t the background?
I do not use another big picturebox in the background while the transparacy will not work.
The end user should be able to move and resize the image in picturebox in the same way as I do in my Form1.vb. (Design) *.

How do you get it so when you resize the form, the buttons move with the re sized form and they don't just disappear?
View 5 RepliesI have been scouring for examples to give me some idea on what I need to do to create a skinable scrollbar. The only thing close that seems to work like I need is Cool Scrollbar The problem I am running into is on the designer...when I move it, resize it, or change the direction of the control (ScrollbarLayout), it seems to want to re-name the class the item is an object of from CBar to cbar.CBar. Once I position and align it properly to check, I can go through the Form1.Designer and simply remove the cbar. and get no errors. When I run the program, it is fine, so this is telling me that there is something wrong with the movement in the class...

View 2 RepliesI have a program that has a TabControl on it. There is code to resize all the controls on the form when the window is resized, regardless of what tab is selected in the TabControl. My issue is that the form will only resize the controls on the selected tab. So if the window is maximized, for example, it will resize the controls on the selected tab, but if the user changes tabs, the new tab will still have the original, non-maximized sizes on it. This works the same with un-maximizing the form, the controls on other tabs will remain the size they are supposed to be when the form is maximized. Here's some example pseudo-code to give you an idea. Assume button1 is on tab1 and button2 is on tab 2.
sub form_resize()
button1.width = x
button2.width = x2
button1.height = y
button2.height = y2
end sub
So the code is supposed to resize all controls regardless of the tab. But if tab 1 is selected it will visually resize button1 but it wont resize button2. To counter this, I simply made the form resize by 1 pixel and then move back to the original size when the user changes tabs. BUT this wont work for maximizing/un-maximizing the form. I tried telling it to detect window state on tab select so if the form is maximized, it will un-maximize it, perform the resize, and re-maximize the form but this doesnt seem to work.
automate this somehow so that regardless of selected tab or window state, all controls will be resized to the proper, current form size?

View 1 RepliesHow would I re-size the window @ a point relative to its parent location and size. I am using code from Make an unowned window's parent to my form, to be able to set a windows parent to panel1.

proc.WaitForInputIdle()
Dim tmp_hWnd As IntPtr

This works on most windows except for ones that are customized. Maximizing the window will maximize the window to bounds of the actual screen bounds instead of the panel1 bounds. Code works fine with normal windows but not with this one. (Spotify Window.)

I am writing a program that is navigated manly by using tabs, the tab panels (If that is what they are called) hold the vast majority of the GUI, only leaving space for the menue bar and a few rarely used window forms. So my question is this, what do I need to do/set to make the tab control (Or tab Panels) re-size with the window it is in when the user re-sizes the window?
View 5 RepliesI have an application that while running (it doesn't have to have focus, it can be minimized or another window can have focus) can listen and respond to global hot keys pressed. For instance I have the key combo Ctrl+Shift+0. When this hot key is pressed my app can recognize this and then I can do something.
This "something" that I want to do is:
1. Know what window is currently active and has focus when the hot key was pressed. And...
2. Change the size of said window
I can currently identify what window has focus by the following (the code block is inside the function that fires when the hot key is pressed):
Code:
Private Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32.dll" () As IntPtr
Private Declare Function GetWindowThreadProcessId Lib "user32.dll" (ByValhwnd As IntPtr, ByRef lpdwProcessID As Integer) As Integer
[Code]....
I can get the handle to the active window and the process that owns that window.
Having this information, how can I get access to the window itself? Furthermore, get access to it's properties so I can change the size of this thing? I'm not sure If this is the right information to be gathering for what I'm trying to accomplish but it seems that I'm close.
I have a form which has no window borders, but I still want to be able to resize the window? How might i achieve this? Even just a few options, like 'small' 'medium' and 'large' size would be fine if it cant be normally resized.
