I have a webpage developed using VB.net when i run the webpage in different screen resolution i see some blankspace left in the right side corner of the screen(webpage).
want to know the solution to make the screen look fit in all screen resolutions..
When designing a program I have designed it so it fits the screen I am working on. In this case the screen resolution is (1366x768).
View 5 RepliesI'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 RepliesI'm coming from ASP.NET background and lately I started developing winforms applications for my company, I had no problem with the move from ASP to winforms programing wise, the only thing i have problem with is to my program to look good across different screen resolutions, resolutions is big problem when developing for the web as well, but I already learned and know how to handle those problems and make my website to look good under almost any resolution what I'm really asking, can someone experienced in this area tell me what are the rules and guidelines i should follow and obey for my winforms application will look good in most resolutions.
View 2 RepliesIm trying to make the contents of my form appear in the center of the screen, no matter what screen resolution is being used.I have been searching the net and have found code similar to the following but i cant get anything to work.
Dim x As Integer = _

Dim y As Integer = _

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?
i wanted to develop a application to Refresh the screen.[Simple F5 would work !!] but is it possible.I want a button to start at X:0 Y:0 then on loading the form want the button to move diagonally on the form [ on reaching end the process should repeat ]I want the application that displays current resolution.The supported resolution by monitor and then give user the choice of selecting one.
View 2 RepliesI am working on an application using vb 2008 express. I have built test programs over the past few weeks and shared them for feed back. Today when I finished some work, I built another test application, but when I install it the start-up screen maximizes but is set between one and two desktop icons from the top of the screen.
In debug mode it looks fine. In the past it looks fine. Each time I start the program the screen is in a slightly different location. It is set to start maximized and to the best of my knowledge, I did not change any settings in the property area. I have tried loading on three computers and the results are the same. Any ideas on what I could have done to produce this strange result?
I had all types of problems before with my application size.On one computer it fits great, but on the net book the application is so big that it crashes it.For example lets say that this is my application running on a regular PC which has a 60 Cm screen This not my application. On my net book which has a 25cm screen it will look different and bigger. Can i some how have a application that is the same size. I think this is very possible to do. Kaspersky has the same feature and it works great.
View 12 Repliesim about to develop a small appliacation for a bet system, which needs 6 screens, each screen will be a touch screen for each client... the application will be running in one computer only just with 6 screens. my question is does anyone knows how to control each screen separately?. somethign that would allow me to output each forms in different screens would work fine.
View 2 RepliesCan someone please help me create a very very simplistic sample page as the chat page included is too coomplete. something as simple as detecting a change in the database and displaying the word "change" on screen in realtime for any client connected.and I tried creating a global.asax file into which I added in the line mentioned in the link above, but it does not seem to like the word "Setup" in the line [code]
View 2 RepliesI am making a program that will put a black mask over an application (like a full screened game). This black mask will fade in and out, depending on certain criteria. Is there a way I can do that with VB? It's to help me dim my monitor without having to push anything.
View 3 Repliesi am developing one application for which i want it to stick to the edge of the screen when dragged near screen edge.
View 2 RepliesI was trying to figure out the cause for this . What i understand is :
1. .net starts splash screen in different thread.
2. Someway when main form load event is finished or about to finish , then splash screen is disposed.
Now in this case , i think dispose method of the splash screen gets fired from the main form , even when splash screen initialization is not finished yet.
how would I change or even scroll the screen?
ex.You click a button and it takes you to a whole other form(different buttons, pics, etc.)
ex for scrolling. Adventure game-You walk at the top of the screen and your guy goes up. Maybe it would be easier to have the world move around my guy but 2 playwer woudn't work well with that.
I want that when a form appears, your screen colour changes to red, blue and black, how to do that in VB.net? I'm using Visual Studio 2005. Explain me as I dont; know.

View 1 RepliesI was wondering how i could change the screen resolution... however I have a few additional requirements..The screen number needs to be passed in (for people with multiple screens)The resolution should be reverted when the application is closed - EVEN IF IT CRASHES - or is killed with "end process tree" (ie no code required to execute to change it back) - like games do Needs to not stuff up desktop icon locations when changing to a smaller resolution
