I placed a button on my form that measured 59mm in width (approx 2.25 inches for any Americans).When you run the project as you'd expect it still measures 59mm.However when I set the form as a child to my MDIParent and run the project the button now measures 67mm (well over 2.5 inches) an increase of 13.5%.Is this a bug or do I need to just change some setting somewhere?

I have designed a form in VB.NET. At design time I have placed two buttons on it. When I run it, the form size looks smaller and the buttons I have placed at the bottom are not visible. Also the alignment of the text and picture box is also different from what I set at design time. Computer at which I am running the form is using a different resolution.

I have been searching for a solution to this but I can't find one. I have played with the anchor and dock properties but they are not doing what I want, so here goes... I would like to place and size all of my controls on my form and then when the form is re-sized during run time (different resolutions, full screen/windowed, etc), have everything just scale up or down accordingly. Anchoring the controls to all four sides of my form re-sizes the control properly but it doesn't move it's location in sync with the other control's size next to it, they begin to overlap each other. Am I going to have to code my own scaling code for each control in my program?
View 5 RepliesI am creating an application for a company and this CD will be distributed to hundreds of people. Many users will have different computer screen size and different screen settings such as their resolution set to 1024 x 728 and their monitor size 17" inches.
I noticed when I loaded the application on a different computer with different settings the application was to big for the screen and did not work. I notice that lot of other programs from microsoft resize their controls and text but never knew how they did it. How can I resize the form and control according to the user's setting.
Why is my MDIChild form not being displayed in my MDIParent form? I want to click a button on form frmStudyResultsFilter which will then display an MDIContainer form frmCalculatedResults (maximized). When frmCalculatedResults is shown I want a small dialog modal form to be in the center of frmCalculatedResults. For some reason frmCalculatedResults will not show on top. Plus I get this error"Form that is not a top-level form cannot be displayed as a modal dialog box. Remove the form from any parent form before calling ShowDialog." Here is my code:
Public Class frmStudyResultsFilter
Private Sub btnCalculated_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCalculated.Click
Dim frm As New frmCalculatedResults

I have a program developed in VB.NET (2008) which consists of a MDI form and several child forms. It worked like a normal mdi application whereby mdi form acted like a container for child forms and things worked out okay. Code like Me.Mdichildren or Me.ActiveMdiChild etc could be used to get list of child forms and perform other actions.Now what happened is I needed to implement a tabbed system. There will be multiple tabs and forms would be in those tabs. So I added a Tab control in mdi form and now new forms are added to selected tab page. This way muliple tab pages can host forms and there is no need to see all childforms at once.
But a problem has come up. I do say ChildForm.MdiParent = Me (as before) but then I say TabPage1.Controls.Add(ChildForm).Doing so functions like getting list of mdi children or me.activemdichild or auto arrange options like Cascade,Tile Horizontal, Vertical etc are not working. This will be a major problem for me.
how can I check(with code) if an mdichild form is already opened or not. I have some mdichildforms that may open together. If an mdichild form is opened I want to dislpay the already opened form and not a new one.

View 1 RepliesI have developed a small application. It has a MDIParent form on which the other childforms are displayed. I have a Panel on the MDIParent on which there are buttons to call up the MDIChild forms. Now my issue is, when anyone of the buttons on the MDIParents form Panel are clicked, it should check if another Childform is display, if it is then it (the active childform is closed) and the new form will be displayed. This part is working fine from the code below. However, when there are no active MDIChild form on the MDIParent form and if the button is clicked, the 'Else' part of my code below is executed. This generates the error as 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'. So what is wrong with my code below?
Private Sub btnExecutive_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExecutive.Click
Dim MDIChildForm As New frmExecutiveInfo

Looks like a dumb question, but I tried the following (where "Me" is a MDIParent form):

View 4 RepliesI have a Windows form which contains a DataGridView within a GroupBox which is within a TabPage which is within a TabControl.The scrollbars property is set to 'Both' so that the user can scroll down to see all available rows in the grid.
I want the Windows Form to initialize to allow the user to see 7 rows but to expanded vertically to the size of 32 rows which is the maximum possible in this application.
Is there a way to size the form dynamically so the Form's Height property can be changed as the DataGridView's rowcount increases?
