Docking Objects To Auto-Resize In A Visual Basic .NET Form?
Oct 22, 2010
I am using Visual Studio 2010 to build forms to access databases through DataGridViews.As these tables grow, it would be easier to resize the form to see the whole table.So I try to dock the DataGridView to the bottomand resize the form (The other controls are at the top of the form)This works for the width, but the height of the DataGridView does not adjust.
Public Class Form1
Dim gridHeight
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
[code].....

I am trying to add a docking form to my application. I have a good program going so far but I am trying to create a minimize to dock feature in which it minimizes to another form (basically hides one and shows the other). I am working on a 23" monitor but I want this to work on all computers. So what I am looking for is a form that three buttons...left, top, right. When the left button is clicked it will dock the window to that side of the screen and fill all of the space from top to bottom with a width of 200 or so. The second button "top" will dock it to the top of the screen and expand the width to the width of the screen it is on. And a height of 200. And the third button "right" will do the same as the left but will put it on the right side. Also is it possible to reserve that side of the screen. (move all icons on the desktop from behind it to the side of it.

How could I prevent a Windows Form from automatically docking when the form gets dragged to the left or right side of the screen in Windows 7? This is a neat feature in W7, however, for my form it does not make sense (a data input form). Sometimes I drag the form to the right to read some information on a website and input them, yet, under W7 this form docks onto the right half of the screen when I do so.

I am hoping that somebody here is familiar with the book, "Doing Objects with Visual Basic 2005" so this question makes more sense but I will try and ask it in a way that makes knowledge of the book irrelevant.The book contains a sample project that I am trying to use as a "framework" for all my new projects. The project shows you how to read and edit objects to and from a database and that part works great. The author then leaves the new and deletes up to the reader to do, which is a good way to learn. However I am having trouble with the it. My problem is that I am having trouble implementing my own ProcessNew InterfaceI think this is how it should be:
Public Function ProcessNew() As Boolean Implements IMDIChild.ProcessNew
Dim myGoal As Goal = TryCast(GoalBindingSource.AddNew, Goal)
myGoal.Goal = rtxtGoals.Text

The First Question is not that important but you know that when you click on 'Favorites' in IE 8 a form thing comes up? Well I've been trying to do that for a long time but I can't figure out how. 2: In IE8 when you expand the window and collapse the window, the toolbars expand and collapse as well. How do I make my tool bars in my Web Browser do that. 3: I actually have a third question and that's, How do you make a horizantal scroll bar on your web browser control. (just like in Internet Explorer.)

After using a form as a replacement for MessageBox I do have a need to make it automatically adjust its size to fit its contents, is there any rule out there that we need to abide to when it comes to sizing the form acting as MessageBox?
I am thinking I could use a panel that will auto-resize and just resize the form according to the size of the panel but I am not sure that will work as I haven't tried it yet.

Does anyone know if Windows sells this control that is used in Visual Studios:
I'm not really sure of it's name, I just call it a Panel Docking Control. I'm looking for any 3rd party versions of it also.

I have a form, user logs in and another form is generated. User submits a query. My problem is that I cannot keep a record of who is making the query.
The user has a uid and usernamae but once the new form is generated where the user submits the query both these identifiers are gone. Is there a way in which I can overcome this?

I have Visual Basic 5.0 and need to print the full form in landscape mode. My form has lines,textboxes, and labels that need to be printed as they are on the screen. I understand that printform.print does not respond to changing to landscape orientation. I have tried the paint picture method, but did not like the quality of the text. I have also tried having a common dialog box before printing and even set the default to landscape, but the form still printed in portrait. Is there a way that I can print my form in landscape mode in Visual Basic 5.0?

how to make a layered form (im a begginer!). I've found something about calling API, but that sounded like old; cant I do this with .Net? If api is necessary, with that hwnd thing, how do I call it? And if you are so kind, is there a way to search for thing only for visual basic .net 2010? Because i dont find a way to practice a strict filter, and visual basic 6, or old visual basic stuff (if not other languages) appear mixed with the program i use.

I have created a form that we use for our employee goal setting. I would like to let the users print the form. The form is quite large and has scroll bars. I am trying to use the Printform to print the form. I would like to use autofit or some other type of scaling to get the form to fit on one page. I have done some looking aroung and have seen the following instrutions a couple of times.
1.Drag a PrintForm component onto the Form from the Visual Studio Toolbox
2.Set the PrintForm.BodyContainer property to reference your Form
3.Drag a PrintPreviewDialog component onto your Form from the Visual Studio Toolbox
4.Set the PrintPreviewDialog.Document property to reference the PrintForm component
5.Add a button and button click handler. In the handler call PrintPreviewDialog.ShowDialog()
I don't know how to set the PrintForm.BodyContainer propery (number 2). I am using Visual Basic 2010 express.
