Is there any way I can move a form in the center of the screen ? I am talking about run time for a form that is already shown . I need this because some times this form may become larger or smaller during run time and I'd like it to be moved in the center of the screen in order to look better . Back in VB6 I used to show again the form (despite being already shown) by MyForm.Show , which resulted i the form being moved to the center , but now it seems this doesn't work anymore ...

I'm writing a piece of software at the moment which will require a form be full screen at all times. However, I am slightly plagued by the fact that my users will have varying screen resolutions. This makes placing controls etc very difficult. Any good techniques / tips to ensure that control layout looks consistent despite the screen resolution when an application is full screen. I'd like to try to avoid having to programmatically re-size and move controls based on screen res as this is a pain in the royal backside.

View 2 RepliesNow I'm creating at app in VB (Microsoft's, Visual Basic 2010) which will be in full screen but I want to know if I can put all my content in the centre of the screen. At the moment it's at the far top, left of the screen. When the screen size varies I want it will stay in the middle for all shapes and sizes. Like :
<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 500px;"></div>
But this is for web pages using HTML and CSS.
I'm making a shell for a computer system this shell is going to be distributed with lots of different computers.The shell is designed to replace the standard windows look (not important but anyway), and as such, i need a way of allowing the user to change the screen resolution to what their monitors/display adapters can support. I'm looking for a way to call all the supported screen resolutions into a combo box.Preferably with the x and y values as separate variables, but that's not a major thing.

View 1 RepliesI have a program which draws a U.S. map on the screen. This display looks great on my wide-screen (16:9) monitor, but it looks a little stretched horizontally on my wife's standard (4:3) monitor. Is there some way I can tell VB to automatically adjust the picture when a standard resolution is being used?
If not, am I correct in thinking that standard definition monitors are going the way of the dinosaur, much like is happening with TV's, and in the future we'll be seeing more and more wide-screen monitors.
I'm trying to make a very simple full screen program I'm going to use to launch Program.
(That copy bar isn't suppose to be there my computer just glitched and I didn't feel like restarting)
I can easily set the form to launch in full screen but if I do that nothing on the form adjust with it.
I was wondering if there's any easy way to get get everything to adjust to fit fullscreen?

View 7 RepliesI have been searching the internet for a few days now, looking for ways to solve my problem, but I can't find anything. What I am trying to do is make my sprite walk. The way I did this was I made multiple GIF's with my characters different movements, but when I try to switch which ones are showing by releasing an arrow key, it does not do anything. Does anyone have a solution for this? My code so far is below, but it only lets me switch to the running GIF and not to the standing one.

I know i've made a few posts previously on this, but none have fully worked. I now have my program doing everything I need it to do, except having the ability to display the text to the centre of the screen. It needs to be able to perform the same functionality it does on the form but without the form being there (e.g. the letter disappearing after being pressed)

I have written a VB .NET 2010 application which displays a "you have new mail" window/form with an OK button that closes the form.
Some users have received new PCs with dual-monitors and the OK button is no longer visible on the form - it's at the bottom but off-form.I guess that this is related to a different screen resolution and not the dual-monitor setup itself.how to make my forms auto-resize? I though this was automatic in VS 2010.
