View 1 RepliesNote: I am working with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. Note: There are a lot of MDI Child posts, but none (that I have found) that apply to my scenario... Scenario I have an MDI form with a UserControl docked at the top. The UserControl is for navigation and is ~50 pixels in height. When I show a child form with its WindowState property already set to 'Maximized', the child form shows maximized in the MDI parent, but behind the UserControl.

Here's the thing. I play EVE online, and I want to use my second monitor while having eve stay fullscreen on the primary.Currently, any time you click the second monitor, and EVE loses focus, EVE minimizes itself. Can I make a utility that forces the game to stay maximized at all times?
View 3 RepliesI'm having a lot of trouble with the windows in my application to size correctly. As a sample, I have a container form (mdi parent), with in which is Form1 (with a datagrid) and a form that is only called when a cell in the datagrid is double clicked. I want Form1 to always be maximized so I set the properties as follows:
Windowstate = Maximized
FormBorderStyle = None
AutoSize = False
MaximizeBox = False
MinimizeBox = False
So when I maximize the parent window, Form1 maximizes and shrinks correctly... but when I double click on the gridview and the popup form comes up, several things happen:
1. Form1 (in the background) goes back to normal size (not maximized)
2. If I click on Form1 (when the Popup form is on the screen) the form disappears into the background...
What I need to happen is for Form1 to always stay maximized, no matter what happens on the screen, and when the pop up form is on the screen, I should not be able to click on any form in the background, and it should never disappear into the background itself.
how do i resize an object(listview datagridview) if the window is maximized? and how to properly place the buttons when maximized?
View 2 RepliesMaximized Window Size - For Multiple Users (Computers/Monitors)
View 1 RepliesSay you have a form that is designed to be maximized on startup. Now, on the programmer's computer (mine), it looks good. But going from user to user, the dimensions of monitors, as well as the resolution each user has on their computer/monitor will vary.Here is the question: If you want to have an application designed to be in a maximized window, how do you ensure that it looks the same on each and every computer/monitor that will be using it. Controls, and everything else that would normally be on the form.

I have a form which I want to keep maximized and all other forms to stay their original size. The problem that I am getting is when I open an additional form, it also maximizes even though I have set the form size to Normal. When I click on the Maximize button to put it back to the size it should be, the form that I want to keep maximized also reduces in size.

View 1 RepliesI have a form showing a datagrid with info from a database. It also has 2 date pickers to filter the database results. It shows everything perfectly in the datagrid, so the db connection is ok. But it also has a few labels below, showing some info taken from the datagrid. For example, the datagrid has sales information and the labels below show the total sales. This works fine too.But the problem comes when I open some other form, maximize it and then open this form containing all this stuff (while the previous one is still open and maximized). These labels (along with a few more labels that only contain the '$' character) get on top
of the datagrid. Even if I restore the form to its normal size the labels are positioned wherever they want. The weird thing is that this only happens with some labels and not with all of them.My first guess was the anchor property, but I set it to left-bottom and it still does this.
I'm doing a project in computer programing. I need to make a game so I made pong.everything is working fine, except when it loads it is often so low that you cant see the bottom paddle and i have to move the form up.is there a way that i can make the form automatically load already maximized, or load at a certain point in my screen?

The problem I have is this. I have an mdi application that contains 2 mdi child forms. When I show the first form and maximize it so that it fills the mdi window I can't load the second form non maximized.
Vb.net automatically maximizes the second form despite the fact that I didn't tell it too! If I then restore the second form to its normal size it then does the same with the first form. This is all very strange to me. When you maximize one form inside an MDI window it maximizes them all.[code]...

View 4 RepliesWhen I tried to resize the form, the textboxes and buttons stayed on the top left. I would like to know if there is a way to make them stay in the center whenever the form is resized or maximized? I have tried using anchor but the buttons and textboxes ended up getting stretched.
ps: the area highlighted in green represents the size of the original form. Red arrow represents how I resized the form.
I have been working on a windows form over the last couple days and I have hit a brick wall when trying to move my controls.
I think I have basic understanding of anchoring and docking but I'm not getting the results I'm hoping for so I have attached some screen shots of what I'm trying to do.
It's not about re-sizing more about moving the controls to the outer edges when my form is maximized.
