Form Height Limit, Make The Form Larger Than The Screen And Allow For Scrolling Down?
Nov 17, 2011
I have read that VB .NET in earlier versions limited the FORM size to that of the development machine screen resolution.I am hoping that there is a way in the current VB 2010 to get around that.However in my attempts to make the form larger, it always resets itself to the screen height on my develoment machine.Is there a way to get around this and have the person be able to use a scroll bar to move down?The data I wish to show actually has two screens worth of information but the stuff in the scroll down section would be used on a limitied basis so scrolling will be useful rather than having to recreat the screen to show less data at one time.

I'm making an application in vb.net and during the development has arisen the need to make a form greater than the screen resolution.For example:
Screen resolution: 1280x800 and 2560x1600 sizes form
Obviously, the form should
not have scrollbars.

Okay: I've been searching the threads and MSDN and elsewhere and either its not there or I am simply not understanding what I am finding.I have an image which at full resolution is larger than my screen (actually it is larger than any screen). I want to be able to look at parts of it at full resolution in a client area that is the size of the entire image at full res; that is, I want the window to exist without any scroll bars and want to be able to examine different parts of the image by repositioning the window on the desktop.
In general, I've run into trouble insofar as windows (or maybe VB) won't let me make my window any larger than my operative desktop (although interestingly it will let me place the window to the North-West of my visible screen). What it won't let me do so far is to grow my window any larger than my desktop.
So far I have noodled a couple of different possibilities, in descending order of preference:
(1) Find some way to exempt my window from the limitation that it be smaller than the desktop;
(2) Virtually increase the size of my desktop so that it is as large or larger than my image (i.e., find some way of exempting my desktop from the limitation that the desktop represent the dimensions of the screen/monitor -- understanding that those two are not the same);
(3) Simulate a multi-monitor configuration (I'll probably need at least four); or
(4) Actually configure my system for four+ monitors (I don't even know whether that's possible, but its certainly not my first choice).
Does any one have any other ideas or suggestions as to how I ought to proceed?[URL]..

I'm wanting to make a "Farmville" like game. However, I dont know how to make the map larger then my viewable screen. So how do you make your forum larger then the viewable screen and allow players to "scroll" through the map or allow them to "zoom" to different locations of the viewable map?

I'm attempting to make a scrolling text label at the bottom of a form. It is the type of scroll you can see on the weather station when there is a tornado warning out. I was wondering if someone could help me go about doing it?
Basically, I am trying to have a label, which scrolls smoothly. The scroll text will be the contents of a string variable. I was also wondering if it would be possible to have the entire scroll "disappear" as the end of it scrolls onto the left side of the screen, then it pauses for a moment, and starts the scroll again, playing an alert tone each time.

I have created a form for a user to add a new booking to a database, the form uses text boxes, labels and datetimepickers to handle the data. [Code] My problem is that when I print the document I get the following "311salesmeeting". This is the data from my text boxes, but I want the form to print as it is on my screen. I have done some reading up and the only other way I can see to print a form is to load the form into a bitmap file and print that. Is this correct, or can I alter my code some how.

I'm making a manually started screen-saver-esque program, and I need the "Black screen" form to be full screen, totally black and border-less.
I have so far managed to fix the last two criterea with changing the border style and form back color, but how do I make the form default full-screen?
The only settings I could find were things like "Manual" and "Center Parent". I'm probably just missing something obvious, but how do I make the form full-screen by default?

Basically the form moves to the bottom of the screen so that the bottom of the form is at the bottom of the screen. It the increases the width of the form until it is the width of the screen. The height stays the same. So it fills the bottom of the screen.
