I am using VB2008 Express. After making changes to the position of controls on the form, the controls position reverts to the original position when the program is rebuilt and run. At first, there is no problem, but after 30 minutes working with the program, the problem begins. I am careful to keep all the files together. I am using XP Professional and .net 3.5

I developed a VB Winforms application in VS2010 Pro on my Win7 x64 desktop computer. I also have VS2010 loaded on my Win7 x64 laptop and when I open the same solution the application's form controls are shifted out of alignment and appear slightly stretched horizontally. The VS IDE settings are identical on both computers. Any idea why the solution looks perfect in the IDE when on my desktop, but when opened in the IDE on my laptop, all the controls shift out of alignment horizontally
View 5 RepliesI have a VB.NET MDI WinForms app. My users have been complaining about form creep (as they call it), this is where each time you open a specific form within the main MDI window it opens slightly below and to the right of the location it loaded previously - i.e. it starts in the top left of the window and works its way down to the bottom right.I have to agree with them that this is extremely irritating, is there any way to prevent this?
The code to load the forms is:
frmPurchaseInvoiceSelect.Show()
frmPurchaseInvoiceSelect.MdiParent = Me
I can address this somewhat by setting the forms start-up positions to 'Manual' but then they just open directly on top of each other in the top left of the screen.
If the user click one of 4 buttons the form position on the screen will change. The four positions are Top Right, Bottom Right, Top Left, Bottom Left.
View 4 RepliesVBExpress 2010 .Net 4.0 I'm trying to have a form that you click on a button and it goes to a new page of the same size in the same location. An example of this type of thing would be the different pages of an install wizard. In this particular project, I have an "instructions" page that you click on that takes you to a new form. On this page is a "back" button that takes you back to the main screen. I'm just not sure how this type of thing is normally done. What I have done works, but you can see the page 'flip' a little, and the form button on the taskbar disappears and reappears as the new one loads.
[Code]...
and I have an equivalent subroutine on the other form to get back. At first I had the Three middle line of code interchanged, which looked much smoother, but for some reason it didn't work on the first click, upon which the form would suddenly move to the wrong location, after which it would work fine, no matter where I moved the form.
I have a feeling that this is probably done in a completely different way, but can't think of a better way of doing it. One way would be to just use one form and change the controls instead, but it would get quite cluttered.
How can I change font of all controls in a form at same time?
have a Way?

I have designed a form in VB.NET. At design time I have placed two buttons on it. When I run it, the form size looks smaller and the buttons I have placed at the bottom are not visible. Also the alignment of the text and picture box is also different from what I set at design time. Computer at which I am running the form is using a different resolution.

I have two forms: Main and Options.Main can be moved around the screen (like a normal window).When the user clicks a button, the Options form opens up and the Main form HIDES.How do I set the Options form to open in the exact place that the Main form was last on the screen (to give it the effect the MAIN form never went into hidding)I was thinking to set Option form's StartPosition to Main's current position, but I don't know the syntax for that or if it's even something you can do.

View 3 RepliesI have a form with a tab control. Above it, there are lables, combo boxes and text boxes.
On the development machine, it works fine but on other machines, where resolution is different, the position of the controls is changed. Somewhere combo box overlaps the tab control, somewhere text boxes and lables are not aligned with each other.
How to set it so that my application maintains the shape no matter what resolution it is.
I tried AutoScaleMode to dpi, inherit etc. but nothing worked.

I'm writing a VB.Net WinForms application that has multiple data girds on any given form. On one such form, the data grids are loaded into split containers which in turn are located on a tab control. The load method for each data grid is threaded so that an animated "Loading" form can be shown. I would like to position the new loading form (which is smaller than the grid) on top of, and preferably in the center of, the grid that is loading. Whats the easiest way to find the grids location within the main form so that I can adjust the loading forms location?

I was wondering if there was some function in VB.Net that could change the mouse's position to a certain point, I found this code:
Code:

p.x = 100

A simple example is: lets say that im trying to make a program that allows you to move the mouse only with the arrows (left/right/up/down) how can i change the position of the mouse on the screen programmatically?

I created a game where you use the mouse to play, it's like the game labirynth. You can't touch the walls or you lose. When I start the level I want the cursor to appear in it's starting position, which is a red picturebox.
Here is the code I used:
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position = New Point(679, 650)
The location where the cursor appears is actually dependent of the resolution of the screen.
For example: with my monitor resolution, the location (679, 650) is right on top of the picturebox i need it to appear on. but if you have a different resolution on your monitor it will appear on a different place. I need to actually make it appear on top of the picturebox.
as title says.... ive been searching it for a long time and i couldnt find it
View 1 RepliesIs it possible for me to control the mouse with vb.net?
I would like to change the position of the mouse and perform left and right clicks.
1.Multiple monitors are connection to one computer and they are extended.
2.My window spans to two monitors (Any window like notepad or settings wizard).
3.We change Visual Style From ON to OFF ( i.e. Changed theme from basic and high contrast to Aero or vice versa)
4.The window which was present on two gets shifted to either primary or secondary monitor.
5.This behavior is ok with normal application but I am developing such application which fails if window moves away.
6.I have added handler to check if user changes theme or visual style using :
AddHandler SystemEvents.UserPreferenceChanged, AddressOf UserPreferenceChangedHandler And in UserPreferenceChangedHandler I have checked if UserPreferenceCategory.VisualStyle changed and if it is changed then I have reset the window position back to old values before theme changed , but still it not reverting back to old position.
7.One strange behavior I observed is, it works if I set break point and step through code , but if I remove it then it's not working.
a. Added handler to catch user preferences changed event.
Private Sub RecordingWindow_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
AddHandler SystemEvents.UserPreferenceChanged, AddressOf UserPreferenceChangedHandler
End Sub
b. Copied old position
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
If m.Msg = WM_MOVING Then
' Console.WriteLine("Window is moving")
[code]...
d . This is additional code which i tried instead of WndProc
Private Sub RecordingWindow_LocationChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.LocationChanged
_windowLocBeforThemeChanged = Me.Location
End Sub
I have 2 events, one is that user can drag and drop the checkbox to wherever they like and other is to double click on the form to change background image. How to save these settings so the next time the form run, I'll have new checkbox position and background image.
