Is there a way to direct a form in VB.NET to open and maximize in the second monitor. That is if there are two monitors displayed, to have the form load in the second window maximized by default?
Say a program was made with two forms and a computer has two monitors attached.
I want FormA to show in MonitorA by default and FormB to show in MonitorB maximized by default

View 1 RepliesI want to find the framework class that enables one to choose an image at design-time. I can find the editor that is used at run-time - its the Drawing.Design.ImageEditor. At design time, however, a different editor pops up which allows one to choose an image from resources.I'm guessing I could run some kind of program, then open up the image editor, from the property grid, and see what new windows/classes have been created?

I having trouble with the WindowsState Maximized Property. I have a MDI WinForm application with a number of Child forms. I setup up each Child form with the WindowsState Maximized Property in the Property screen of the VS 2008. The MDI Container form is also Maximized.When I run the application, the MDI Container opens Maximized as it should. When I try to open a Child form it opens partaly Maximized. The MenuStrip and ToolStrip are Maximized including the MenuStrip having the Close, Maximized, and Minimize controls in it. On the form, the BindingNavigator and the Form itself is the size they would be if the WindowState was Normal.If I Minimize the MDI Container form and bring it back the Child form will be fully Maximized as it should be.

I have a tutorial Application (in VB.NET 2005) for MS Office 2007 and have some Exercises for Users. When User clicks on given Exercise (for example: MS Excel), this Application minimize and launch related Excel file through program with Modal Form over Excel Application containing Exercise text in Label and Button to Submit the Exercise. User performs that given task and submit it by click on the given Button. This will check that file, close it and maximize the Application again for next Exercise.

View 2 RepliesI am drawing graphics on the screen and when the form resizes it needs to clear and redraw all the graphics b/c the form is a different size and the graphics are supposed to scale with the size of the form. Well that works, but not for maximize or restore. So I had to look on the internet for how to capture the maximize and restore event. I got it from here and it does capture it, but it does all the events (such as redrawing the graphics) first and then it maximizes, which totally defeats the purpose. I tried to do Application. DoEvents but it still doesn't do it. Any way to have the graphics redraw AFTER it maximizes?
Code:
Private Const SC_RESTORE As Int32 = &HF120 'When a Form is Restored
Private Const SC_MINIMIZE As System.Int32 = &HF020& 'When a Form is Minimized
Private Const SC_MAXIMIZE As System.Int32 = &HF030& 'When a Form is Maximized
Private Const WM_SYSCOMMAND As System.Int32 = &H112 'Minimized/Maximized/Restore comes when we have this msg Const WM_NCLBUTTONDBLCLK As Int32 = &HA3 'When User Clicks on the Title Bar

I need to do this in the MDI: Generate Form1 to maximize the potential in MDI. And mdi form to generate second Form2 order has always been above Form1. When clicking on the form 1 form2 disappear under it. Normally, when you click on the form1 Form2 hides under it. All must appear in the MDI.
View 2 RepliesI have a form, with a lot of controls on it, and I make the form to be a mdi-form. When the application begins, the main form will show the mdi form, and maxmizes it.
My question is, the maxmize process of the mdi-form is showing to the user, that's very bad looking. We can see the mdi-form show itself on the screen with it's original size, and then change it's size to mazmize itself. During the process, it look like all the controls on the mdi-form are shining.
I want to hide the maxmize process to be not seen, and make the mdi-form visible AFTER it's Maxmize process. But I don't know how to do this.
I tried this:
Mdi-form.visible=0 in the form_load of the mdi-form, but I don't know where to do the Mdi-form.visible=1. I can't find the event of Maxmize process.
I have three control in Center Form

It's been a while since I used VB4 to write a program. Now I have VS 2010 Express and I want to write a simple text editor.
My first question is, I have a text box I put onto a form with a menu strip. When the program is run, I want my text box (my main editing area) to be the biggest size on the form. How do I do this? Is there an automatic way to do this? Or do I have to set the text box's x, y, width, and height properties when the form loads? Which form event would I put this in? I cannot seem to find Form_Load or Form_Activate. [code]...
