How to check weather the window is currently maximized or restored. I want to do something like if window state maximized then border none and if window state regular, then form border style sizable. This is what I wrote

I'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.
I have my start up form in maximized window state, but this cause the splash screen appear behind the startup form, which cause it cannot be seen.Even i have set the time longer to display the splash screen.It still do now work. I have tried below code in the start up form but it is not working...
Private Sub Main_Shown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
End Sub
I am using VB Express Edition 2010, and I want a button, when clicked, to make the form 'full screen' (border style done and maximised window state) and once clicked again, to return the form to maximised but with a fixed single border style. Here is my

View 1 RepliesI have an MDI Form that contains an MDI Child form. On this child form is a flexgrid. When the user double clicks on a row in the flexgrid this loads another MDI Child form. I have set the following properties on the second child form:
FormBorderStyle = FixedDialog
MaximizeBox = False
MinimizeBox = False
StartPosition = CenterScreen
WindowState = Normal
The problem is that if the first MDI child form is in a maximized state and the user double clicks on the flex grid, the second child form loads in a maximized state too! How can I stop this?

View 2 RepliesSupposed to be my form should be in maximized state when the time passed. However its not fully covered my screen its just covered slightly half on top left of my screen. What i meant is that i set my timer into 500 and decrease it by 5, while the timer running i open my WarCraft3 and its in full screen, when the time expires my form should be in maximized state "covered my screen" but it doesnt, i know it is because when Warcraft3 open it changes the resolution. SO am i able to fully covered my screen ?

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.

View 1 RepliesIs there any way to save a form window state including all of the controls etc that it has on it in their current state? I'm having to write long functions for each control just to save and reload from a config file, so I'm spending more time on user saved settings than on my actual project.
View 3 RepliesIf I type this code (VB.net 2003):
Dim myDialog As frmTestDialog
myDialog = New frmTestDialog
myDialog.Show()
you'd expect some dialog window to appear in a non-modal state. For some reason, this isn't the case with a program I am working on. Most of the dialogs use ShowDialog() to open them, and one uses Show(). The second I try to show another non-modal dialog, the dialog appears in a modal state. Another strange thing is, before I show the dialog, there is code to shift the dialog location to centre it on the main form - this isn't executed either: the dialog appears at 0,0.
My usual trend is to blame myself for errors (usually the case), then I blame the software; I have checked every single line of code (including the generated code), and it all checks out - the dialog should be non-modal. But ... it's not. I've come across other errors in VB.net 2003; is this another instance?
I'll try creating a new dialog and displaying this non-modal, and see what happens. If it works, I can just transplant the code but this shouldn't be happening, just like if I go to a shop, ask for a cola, I expect a cola not a Chinese panda; more annoying, I return the panda, ask for a cola, and they give me the panda back do loop until I give up The system does using threading, but none of that code connects to the display dialog routines all dialogs are opened with more-or-less the above code (a few have simple validation routines).
When loading the form then my windows state is maximized (properties--windows state--maximized). After loading the form then if I press taskbar menu top(maximise button is disabled and minimize button is disabled on form) then size of form is changing. I have used screen.width,and height to restore when form resizes but still for the first time of form loading it moves and set to the boundaries. Atleast once also it should not move. How to stop changing the windows state from moving when we click task bar. Again in form properties -- application -- I have checked -- make single instance application. When if again any other path same form is opened. Then also it resizes to other state.
View 2 RepliesI want to maximize my mdi child automatically by setting WindowState to Maximize. But it looks like this.. why is this happening? but if I restore it and maximize it again its body now occupies the mdiparent space. To aim is not enough. You must hit.
View 2 RepliesHere is, basically, how my application works:
When windows starts, my app starts. Whenever my app is running, it hides the desktop, taskbar, etc... When a button is clicked in my application ("Start program"), then my application will set its visible property at false and another application will start.
Everything seems to work perfect except I need a way for my application to set its visible property back to true, but only once the other application that was started earlier, is closed (no longer running.)
My thought was that I could use a timer to check for the applications state every so many seconds:[code...]
I have 2 concerns with this:
1. A timer checking this every few seconds will invoke unneeded stress on a computer since they are running for sometimes very long periods of time.
2. There is a better way to accomplish this that doesnt rely on a timer.

recommend the cleanest way to save / restore a winform's location and state? For some time now I've been using a method similiar to what I posted below (based on the CodeProject: [URL]..The problem with this method is that when the form loads, it is drawn in an initial location, then moved / maximized afterwards. The effect creates somewhat of an eye sore watching the window draw, then quickly update... but in Vista it is a lot more obvious.
What I would like to do is restore a form to it's previously saved location / state invisible to the user, then show it once it's where it needs to be. Or, just know of the ideal way this is supposed to be done - specifically in Vista.

Using .Net, I need to generate a response based on only the checkboxes on my form that have had there states changed. So how do I know if the check box has changed from its previous value before submission. I can't use the onchange event because the user may check multiple boxes before submitting.

In Visual Studio 2010 is it possible to check the state of variables during run time. When a run time error occurs the error is highlighted and you are able to mouse over different variables to see their values when the error happened. I would like to do something similar except without the error.
