View 11 RepliesI developed a form application on my computer, but when it was used in another computer with different screen size, i was told the form didn't fit. Do I have to adjust the form size or any other ways to let the form compatible on different screen size? (could be different screen size or wide screen)
View 2 RepliesWhen I manually increase the size of my form in runtime, the controls remain in their positions but i need to make it stretched as photos the controls to be sticked to the background.This problem actually appears when I display my program on my laptop but using LCD screens with different resolution, I need to make it dynamically autofit the screen if possible...
View 5 RepliesWondering if there was a way around the seemingly nonsensical editor changing of the maximum size form you can edit/create to some value approaching the screen resolution you are working on. This is a P.I.T.A. as I often edit pages on a laptop with a smaller max resolution than the monitors I typically do layouts for.Any way to by pass this to let me edit larger screen sizes on my laptop?
View 1 RepliesI've a form set to size 1240:750. On my PC where I've VB2010 installed, the screen size is set to 1680:1024 and the form can be viewed fine but on a PC with screen size set to 1280:1024 (higher than the form) the form in question is cropped almost a third of it. To adjust the form to everyone screen size I set the below code at load with no avail.
'Autosize form to screen
Me.Height = (SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Height) * (0.9)
Me.Width = (SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Width) '* (0.9)
Me.MaximumSize = New System.Drawing.Size(Me.Width, Me.Height)
Me.MinimumSize = New System.Drawing.Size(1240, 750)

Screen Size of my deployment screen is larger than my development screen.
If i try to set my form size larger than my development screen size, IDE doesnot accepts this.
Please let me know How can I use a form larger than my development screen Size?
I designed a form which contains about 50 objects all kinds including tableadapters,buttions,grids, tabs. What is the best way to optimize the loading with less time consuming. I cannot split objects in on different form as all the objects has to appear on screen as a requirement.
But my primary question here is, i designed this form with all these objects on a 15" monitor which fitted 100% on the screen. Now i am using 17" monitor when i open this form on run time, all the objects are appearing as designed but theres a 30% form area which is left blank. How can i make the form objects resize automatically on run time itself to fit on different size of monitor with no area left blank.
Anyone knows how to change the Forms and controls of the project as the Screen resolution of the computer changes?

View 4 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.
how do i set my vb2008 form in such away that the form size aint affected by screen resolution settings
View 3 RepliesNow I'm creating at app in VB (Microsoft's, Visual Basic 2010) which will be in full screen but I want to know if I can put all my content in the centre of the screen. At the moment it's at the far top, left of the screen. When the screen size varies I want it will stay in the middle for all shapes and sizes. Like :
<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 500px;"></div>
But this is for web pages using HTML and CSS.
I have created a GUI and have set my 'Form1' window to match that of my PC monitor ( 1280x1024 ). However when i move the project to work on my netbook, the screen on my netbook is only 1024x600 and half my GUI is missing. Is there any way i can adjust my settings so that my 'Form1' GUI will auto adjust and display in full on both screen when i move the project back and forth?

View 1 RepliesWhat is the size difference between desktop and screen size?
I've been developing an application, which consists of a bar to the bottom of the screen that I want to keep allways visible .
When i open a window and maximize it, it do not stay behind the bar but only to maximize the top of the bar!
VB.net / VisualStudio8 I have an application I've written that's been very stable. I had it set to exactly 1024x768 resolution, and to windowsstate=maximize (I think that's what it's always been).
I recently started coding to give the user the option to use the 1024x768 or to have the program detect the max size of the screen and use it.
That part works great... I'm using:
Dim MonitorWidth = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width
Dim MonitorHeight = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height
Me.Height = MonitorHeight
Me.Width = MonitorWidth
What I'm baffled by is that the application now won't get off the max screen size. It's using the max of the screen, even when I do not call the screen resizing code above. I'm trying to give the user the option of the application only taking up 1024x768 (and placed up to the top left) or maximizing the application using the full extents of the screen.
I have to know how to set system resolution of all tools in forms, which i using for my application.
I attached two screen shots. When i work my application with my system, form window and their tools placed correctly with my monitor fit(15 inch monitor).
But when i work my application in 21 inch monitor, all tools re arranged and
not in format. post me the code to set resolution as per system??
I am working on an program and I need it to change the size on the form and the button etc when its ran on a different resolution then it was coded on. Is there anyway to do this easy or do I have to hard code it on two different and change it by like a button etc? I am working with a 1024 X 780 and a 1240 X 1024.
View 8 RepliesI have an RTB. Actually it is a RichTextBoxPrintCtrl as per KB 146022 but I don't think that matters.
I am printing the contents of the RTB on a label. I have determined the appropriate margin settings to cause the contents of the RTB to print on the appropriate label (there are 4 per sheet). That all works.
But I want what the user sees on the screen as he types to match what prints. So if he types three lines of data he gets three lines on the label. Also, if scroll bars appear, that is a clue that he have filled up one label. By trial and error I got the size of the RTB just right using the default font (MS Sans Seriff 8.25).
But when I or the user changes font size, the on screen display no longer matches the printed label. The label prints properly but it is not an exact representation of what is on the screen.
Is there a way to fix this problem so the screen representation of the label is always correct even when the font changes.
How can one set the screen size? As with the task bar, by incressing the size sets new limits when maximizing an application's window. How can I tell the system what would be the demensions of the desktop screen: left, top, width, height?
View 5 RepliesA couple of days ago I created a Zoom function for my application to make the fontsize bigger or smaller. I thought it worked perfectly untill last friday....Problem is, when I zoom in or out, the screen size changes as well. This is no problem when running the app in window mode.

View 3 RepliesI want to make a simple screensaver but I looked at what others suggested on how to change screen resolutions and it seems a bit much. So I'm hoping their is a simple way to accomplish this task. Basicly I want the screen to fill reguarless of your screen resolution with the background image coded in the source code. I know the picture will look funny on large resultions but its a sample code Im making, so i'm not worried about streatching a image.My thought was do something to detect window bounds or something.
View 6 RepliesOkay here's what I'm trying to do. I want to change the font size of a label based on the size of the form.If the form size is 0 through let's say 500 I want the label size to be 50. How can I write this?

If I re-size the form, the textbox inside should be re-sized to fit the form, NOT DOCK!
I am working on an application using vb 2008 express. I have built test programs over the past few weeks and shared them for feed back. Today when I finished some work, I built another test application, but when I install it the start-up screen maximizes but is set between one and two desktop icons from the top of the screen.
In debug mode it looks fine. In the past it looks fine. Each time I start the program the screen is in a slightly different location. It is set to start maximized and to the best of my knowledge, I did not change any settings in the property area. I have tried loading on three computers and the results are the same. Any ideas on what I could have done to produce this strange result?
I purchased a new computer with windows 7. The screen size is 16x9. My old computer had 4x3. I can no longer read my VB6 programs as they no longer fit on the new screen. I need to alter the height. Is there some code that I can add to overcome this problem.
