Cannot Move Titless Form?
Nov 15, 2009
im making a small program to work with my GPS. I removed the title bar and now cannot move it. I have found source code on the net but i always have 2 of the same errors from this
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "User32" _
Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, _
ByVal wMsg As Long, _
ByVal wParam As Long, _
ByVal lParam As Any) As Long
[Code]...
I wont lie to you, i havent really touched VB since I was about 16 (i'm 25 now) so I'm pretty lost on what the heck that means. I can get rid of the as any by changing ANY to LONG or INTEGER but I still cant figure out the speedo_frm part (that is the form name, go figure.
Edit: I'm using visual studio 2008..

What is the best way to resize & move a form using just VB commands? I have a form that I need to set the Height and Top props, problem is that takes two calls and there is a noticable flicker. I tried using SuspendLayout/ResumeLayout, DoubleBuffered, swaping the top and height calls around, etc, but nothing seems to help. The test forms only have one small listview and one or two buttons. [Code]

How do i load the Main form of a WPF so that a seperate thread goes and gets data from the database while the form is in an apartmentstate ? (drag-able / movable) I Know this is possible with opening a new window from your main form like this :
Private Sub openOrderWindow()
Dim OrderWindow As Orders = New Orders
OrderWindow.ShowDialog()
End Sub
[code]....
I've tried putting MyBase.ShowDialog() and .Show() and .9000+ other things The only benefit I've got out of using a seperate thread to load from the databse is i can see the screen right away (as oppose to it being a transparent box until it loads) but i cannot move it around or minimize itis there any way to make it Movable while it loads?

I just started VB.NET coding, and I think I come along quiet well. Offcourse, I get a few errors, but When googling it, I always come to dream.In.Code, so I thought I'd better register here.
Now, my problem is, that when I set FormBorderStyle to None, it looks so cool, but I cant move my form around in debug mode (Nor when launching my finished builded application)
Here is my whole Code in my application, as I dont know what parts I should post here:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button8_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button8.Click
[Code].....

create a windows app. project with one form and 2 buttons ( if you tell me how to do one of the buttons, I'll figure out the other one). When you click one button it should move the form 2 pixels to the left. The other should move the form 2 pixels to the right.As a hint, he says to use the form's "LEFT" property -- but, I don't see "LEFT" in the properties window for the form.

I have searched on this but I keep finding people trying to keep others from moving forms. And also nothing in the code bank.
Here is what I am making. I am making a tournament overlay program that tracks current players progress for shoutcasters (displays their name, race, score, color, ect).
I have a control panel that will change all that information on another form, the borderless one, that will "Always be on top" of the game displaying information.

I have done lots of searching but came up with nothing. How do I simply move an object on my form? For example, how would I change the position of a button when I press a button? I'm sorry if this topic has been beaten to death

If a form has its form border style set to None, how would you go about moving it?
I thought that this would work:
Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseDown
Me.Location = MousePosition
End Sub
but it doesn't.

I am trying a little demo project to create my own Caption Bar. Basically i have a form with a panel docked to the top.
You can use the mouse to drag the panel around (which moves the forum) Problem is the cursor is always located in the upper top left. I am trying to move the form around but to leave the cursor at the point it is currently at on the panel
My code so far is below
#Region "Point Variables"
Dim LOC_Form As New Point(0, 0)
#End Region
[Code]....
I am dragging the panel from the middle, but the form moves to the cursor point. I have tried calculations like Cursor Position - Form Location etc but cant get it right

I have made a from with a panel docking inside. And a second form with properties set to form_load:
Me.TopLevel = False
Me.Parent = Form1.Panel1
Now it loads nicley inside the panel of the first from.... However, I can move the second form outside the maximum size of the panel inside form1. Is there a way stopping this? Here's an image of it: So I don't want the second form to go out of the inner panel of form1. But I can move around in the area visible!
