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.

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 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.

I declare 2 tab pages and add them to a tab control. These 2 tab pages have different texts: Products and Support and the text's forecolor is black. Is it possible to change the text's forecolor of the second tab page to blue and keep the text's forecolor of the first page as black? e.g., Products is in black and Support is in Blue.

View 1 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.
BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?

View 2 RepliesHow would I go about designing something that will work on many different resolutions? For example, i have my monitor on a very high resolution, and when i work on my projects, the actual controls (buttons, text boxes ,whatnot) are in the top left quarter of my screen, because the program will have to be deployed on 800x600 machines.
Is there anyway to make it so it will stretch and look appropriate on different resolutions?
I need to know how Windows detects what resolutions the user can select for their monitor / graphics card. I'm pretty sure it's an API call, but does anyone know what it is?
I already have code to change it (courtesy of this thread here), and I was wondering if it was possible to get a list of valid and allowable resolutions.
I want to get the list of supported resolution by a graphic adapter/card. Anyway to do it?
640X480
1024X768
1366x768
and so on...........
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.
I'm looking for some advice on how to make my app work with different resolutions as I have posted a demo game on the forum but the game was designed on my laptop which is set to 1280x800 but a few people who have tried the demo are having problems as they are using 1024x768.
Is this a case of getting the computers resolution when the app starts and alter the size and position of controls?
i've made a program that fits my monitor, the resolution is 1280,1024. But i want to make it so that if someone else who has a different resolution can also use the program, is there any way to make the form (and the components inside it), auto resize to fit that persons resolution?
View 2 RepliesFirstly sorry if this has already been covered, though I am trying to find out if there is a way that I could make all objects on a form appear in the same area no matter what the resolution of the screen is? e.g. I have a group box located down the bottom right for a 1024x768 screen resolution but when I view it on my widescreen laptop it isn't right down the bottom right where I want it. Is there a way this can be done? I'm assuming i could check the system properties to tell me what the resolution is and if it's widescreen then change the location of the object.

I tried using a multi resolution icon but I can't get the program to use the different resolutions of it.
