I am using VB 2005 express edition and I need to develop a simple application. It should open a certain program (called MyMobiler) when a button is clicked. So far, I haven't managed to start it maximized (using shell (programpath, vbMaximizedFocus)), it always opens restored, although trying with notepad works (notepad opens maximized if i put vbMaximizedFocus). What else could I try? Here's my code
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Label1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
End Sub[code]....
Is there a easy way to maximize a window in VB when the maximize button is pressed so that everything that is contained in the Window (Forms, Panels) will also automatically resize to the screen size?
I want to maximize my form size when i maximize my window. means when i double click on window to maximize then my form also get maximize with window, i used dock property bt still not getting proper result.
If you have ever noticed in the Task Manager, when you right-click on the running task, you have many options which include 'Minimize' and 'Maximize'. Is there anyway to do achieve this in vb?
I have an application right now that starts a process, then opens a file associated with that process (system.diagnostics.process.start("WM.exe")), however, the way they save, there is a window within a window. It's like in photoshop cs3 when you have many windows within the big window of the application. Right now I use an api call to findwindow which is the application itself, but within that I need to find the subwindow, of which I know the apptitle, and then I need to set its windowstate to maximized. Does anyone know how this can be done? I think there's a way to hook a handle, but how does one also maximize?
I want to maximize my mdi child automatically by setting WindowState to Maximize. But it looks like this.. why is this happening? but if I restore it and maximize it again its body now occupies the mdiparent space. To aim is not enough. You must hit.
i have a problem in ToolStripComboBox at maximize window don't change size.
How change ? I write
Private Sub Form1_MaximumSizeChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.MaximumSizeChanged ToolStripComboBox1.Dock = DockStyle.Right
In VB6 IDE if you doubleclick on the titlebar of the form designer, it maximizes/restores. But in VB.net it opens up code window.How do you quickly maximize/restore the form designer window ?
Is there is any option to send a message to a window to "press" on the maximize button? I thought using the sendmessage API but I don't really know how, I alreday got the window handle, the problem is how to send the message?
I having trouble with the WindowsState Maximized Property. I have a MDI WinForm application with a number of Child forms. I setup up each Child form with the WindowsState Maximized Property in the Property screen of the VS 2008. The MDI Container form is also Maximized.When I run the application, the MDI Container opens Maximized as it should. When I try to open a Child form it opens partaly Maximized. The MenuStrip and ToolStrip are Maximized including the MenuStrip having the Close, Maximized, and Minimize controls in it. On the form, the BindingNavigator and the Form itself is the size they would be if the WindowState was Normal.If I Minimize the MDI Container form and bring it back the Child form will be fully Maximized as it should be.
I have a form with i.e 2 buttons and a webbrowser ok now how to keep these 2 buttons and a webbrowser fitting the my form when I maximize my form or minmize it using codes ?
I'm attempting to recreate the windows maximize/restore button, where when clicked it will either send the window to its previous state or put the window in full screen BUT fitted with the taskbar visible.
I have tried sizable tool windows and regular sizable windows. Whenever I tell my window to Maximize it becomes too large and goes underneath the start menu.
Here is the code I use to Maximize (I run this in the Form Load):
I have searched for an answer to this but have not found anything satisfactory but basically my MDI parent and MDI child both need to use an icon under my resources.When the Main form opens its child form the child keeps turning the normally sized icon into a large stupidly sized icon which throws out the layout of the menu strip.The additional thing is I deliberately tell the child not to have an icon when maximised or when initially called, yet the icon insists on going to a large size every time I open the child form.The Icon is 32x32 and here is the initialisation code of the parent,[code]
Decided to move from VB6 to VB 2005.Net.I want my form (remember these are early steps) to maximize into the top 10% of the screen.remember am a VB3,4,6 developer for the last 17 years, old habbits die hard
I need to create a form in such a way that when i run it the form will open in maximize i.e,the top three box with be like the following Attachment 71929 Normally when we run a form it is in the following pattern:Attachment 71928
I tried with the maximize box but it is for enabling and disabling the maximize button.
I have a tutorial Application (in VB.NET 2005) for MS Office 2007 and have some Exercises for Users. When User clicks on given Exercise (for example: MS Excel), this Application minimize and launch related Excel file through program with Modal Form over Excel Application containing Exercise text in Label and Button to Submit the Exercise. User performs that given task and submit it by click on the given Button. This will check that file, close it and maximize the Application again for next Exercise.
My problem is When User perform the Exercise and click on Submit button, it checks the file, close it and didn't maximize the Tutorial Application all the time. Sometime it Minimize / Maximize properly, but sometime it doesn't Maximizes. (I can see it running in Task Manager)I have used the following code:
I have got Skype configured to launch minimized on windows starts.Now I need to bring Skype to front from a button from my full screen application button. I have got this code:
For Each p As Process In Process.GetProcessesByName("skype") ShowWindow(p.MainWindowHandle, SHOW_WINDOW.SW_NORMAL) Next p
I am drawing graphics on the screen and when the form resizes it needs to clear and redraw all the graphics b/c the form is a different size and the graphics are supposed to scale with the size of the form. Well that works, but not for maximize or restore. So I had to look on the internet for how to capture the maximize and restore event. I got it from here and it does capture it, but it does all the events (such as redrawing the graphics) first and then it maximizes, which totally defeats the purpose. I tried to do Application. DoEvents but it still doesn't do it. Any way to have the graphics redraw AFTER it maximizes?

I need to do this in the MDI: Generate Form1 to maximize the potential in MDI. And mdi form to generate second Form2 order has always been above Form1. When clicking on the form 1 form2 disappear under it. Normally, when you click on the form1 Form2 hides under it. All must appear in the MDI.
I have a form, with a lot of controls on it, and I make the form to be a mdi-form. When the application begins, the main form will show the mdi form, and maxmizes it.
My question is, the maxmize process of the mdi-form is showing to the user, that's very bad looking. We can see the mdi-form show itself on the screen with it's original size, and then change it's size to mazmize itself. During the process, it look like all the controls on the mdi-form are shining.
I want to hide the maxmize process to be not seen, and make the mdi-form visible AFTER it's Maxmize process. But I don't know how to do this.
I tried this:
Mdi-form.visible=0 in the form_load of the mdi-form, but I don't know where to do the Mdi-form.visible=1. I can't find the event of Maxmize process.
