View 1 RepliesForm Resize With Control Sizing?
Dec 27, 2010I have been searching for code and/or a tutorial on how to proportianally resize controls and fonts. For example if I design a form at 800 X 600 and the user maximizes the form to 1600 X 1200, I need the form and controls to grow to fill the screen almost like a zoom function.
View 11 RepliesForm Resize With Control Sizing (con't) + 1 More Thing?
Apr 7, 2012 why the title has "(con't)" is because of this Form Resize With Control Sizing... almost named it with another thread on here. And I wanted to post, but it was already a 'Zombie Thread'.Thanks to _HAWK_'s post #11, instead of declaring every control I use. Would declaring it an array (fast guess - Label<Array(how many - 1; aka - X)>) work? ... that was probably Java... My point has probably been made, or can I just do Label.Scale(variable)?I had already set my declaration of the form I need to do this on "Resize". I am not quite at this stage yet, but I see this saving a lot of time asking early.
The +1 extra question is:How can I be able to split of a form in 3 unequal sections? The initial form is 800*600-left side has 2 sections, each 400*300 right side is 400*600.I am already using 3 'GroupBox' and it looks ugly because I have each one colored differently.I looked into Splitter and SplitContainter and TableLayoutContainer.
VS 2008 Panel & Datagrid Sizing According To The Form?

View 2 RepliesVS 2010 Auto-sizing Form Based On Text Box?
Jan 23, 2012I'm trying to create my own custom "inputbox" (can't think of VB.Net term for the VB6 input box).
Anyways, I'd like to have a label & a textbox on my form along with 2 buttons. I want to let the label to grow based on the text that is in it. I know it has an autosize feature to it, and guess I can use that, how do I limit the width so that once it hits that limit it goes to a new line so that if I have a message or a question to pose to the user, it doesn't get too wide. Kind of like MessageBox.Show.
It'll be Label at the top, textbox under that, and the two buttons under that. I'd like the textbox to move up/down based on the size of the label, and the buttons to do the same along with the window not becoming too wide.
Proportional Sizing - Button To Stay Centered Not Just Have The Form Stretch Out

View 2 RepliesSizing The Form Based On Screen Resolution (1024x768, 1280x1024, Etc)?
Mar 25, 2011I designed my form on my machine running 1282x1024. It works fine. I installed it on a client machine running 1024x768 and the form goes off the bottom edge of the screen. I set autoscale on the form to none, font, dpi, and inherited, changed my screen resolution and ran the program. It always looks the same, off the bottom os the screen. I tried Autoscroll on with no effect.
My reading of the documentation seems to indicate these two items are more for the system font size and the screen's dpi setting, not the screen resolution but I can't find anything else to work with. How do I make the form and everything on it change size based on the screen resolution?

.net Program Shows Error : InvalidOperationException Was Unhandeled An Error Occurred Creating The Form
Jun 2, 2011I got a serious problem. Though I have made my program newly it shows error. I have used 1280,1024 animation only for first form then used 1280,1024 image for every form. Today I was checking then it was showing me error message for 19th & 20th form. If I use On Error Resume Next then it shows error for another form ; if I use same code there in the menu item I mean so that I can get rid of error when I click to show a form it shows another error. First error message is "InvalidOperationException was unhandeled An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is parameter is not valid." and second error is "OutofMemoryException was unhandled Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown".

Please help me I need to get rid of this problem. Does it mean that I cant use unlimited control there in my form?

Sep 11, 2011I have a couple of split panels nested inside of each other. The problem is, I'm rendering an 8x8 tiled game inside of the center panel. Basically, the height and width of the panel need to be an odd multiples of 8 so I can find the center tile displayed easily.I need the width and height to be divisible by 8. The number 8 is multiplied by should be odd:EDIT AGAIN these numbers below do not refer to the size. They refer to two number being multiplied. I've changed them to a * to show this. These numbers below apply to both the height and width. One number should be odd, the other 8. 8*x

Sizing Box User Control
Mar 18, 2012I am writing a control in vb.net that will allow a user to resize something. So far, resizing works, but I can't get moving to work properly, instead of moving where the mouse moves, it seems to flicker between two positions, but I can't figure out where these positions are coming from. It follows the mouse sort of. I know the explanation isn't very good so here is some code so you can see for your self: pastebin.Apologies for this bad quality (please point out the bad stuff so I can correct), but this is really giving me a nightmare and I couldn't figure out a clean way to write this.To clear the code up a little, the moving takes place where the selected handle is "m".[code]
View 2 RepliesSizing Image To Fit Screen?
Oct 27, 2010Having many thousands of pictures, I made a screen saver with the functionality I want. If the LAN path goes away it reconnects later, bad pics can be deleted, rotated and saved, etc. Sometimes the pics don't size correctly and expand off the screen. The problem may be reuse of the same picturebox. What I might do is have a dedicated picture box with autosize left on, use that to obtain raw image size, then reload again into the picture box that will be displayed.

Sizing The Listview Columns?
Jun 14, 2010I've setup a listview with two columns. Both have a fixed width which totals the width of the control (to fill the control fully and not display a horizontal bar)This works fine as long as the form does not change, anything such as a font change on the system will cause the list view to look off alignment.LV2.jpg shows it in the designer, LV.jpg shows the same listview with a different font.Is there an easy method to fix the position or auto size the last column to the edge of the control?

Jan 31, 2011I am successfully able to pull images into a picturebox in my program and manipulate them in a variety of ways. What i need to be able to do is the following.
1) Pull images into a picture box on my main form and dynamically resize either the picture box or the image so that the image doesnt lose its scale when it comes in
2) Have a method of pre-screening an image to be loaded before it comes in so that i can change its size without losing scale .. ex.
if my image is 1200x1200 i do not have that much room on my form so i would want to say something like
if getimagewidth()>600 then
me.picturebox.width = getimagewidth()/2
end if

I need to link up the control from the form on either side of the current form that I'm working on so that if I click on the buttons that I'm titling previous and next that I can click on the proper button and either go directly to the previous form or the next form. I was successful in doing this for two earlier forms on this project (with some direction from a couple of helpful people on this forum before), but for some reason, no matter what I details I use the controls do not connect to the previous and next forms.

The teacher doesn't give us much to go by so I really have no idea where to even start so any code will be a great help. Here is what i have to create:Your project will allow the user to enter a stock transaction and determine the stockbroker's commission. Each transaction includes the following data: the stock name, pricer per share, number of shares involved, and the stock broker's name. Assume price per share = P. The stockbroker's commission is computed in the following manner: If the P (price per share) is less than or equal to $50, the commission rate is $0.19 per share, if P is greater than $50, the commission rate is $0.26 per share.
