Is there a way I can place my form above the task bar?
Something like this: But, people have different sized task bars..
Is there something like: my.computer.screen.taskbar ?
My current code is: Me.Top = My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height - 116
Me.Left = My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width - 365
is it guaranted that a task A started before TaskB will be completed before task B assuming the task do the same level of operatons?or in other words is there a chance that a task B will finish before tast A in the assumption that the task calls the same procedure?
View 4 RepliesUsing Visual Studio 2008 and VB.NET ...
I've created a form (OpaqueForm), which is an intermediary form between other forms which I will open with ShowDialog. The idea is that when I want to show a form using .ShowDialog, this OpaqueForm, with an opacity other than 100%, sits in between the main form and the dialog form, effectively "greying out" the underlying main form.
The OpaqueForm has the FormBorderStyle property set to None, and accepts in the constructor a Form object on which it invokes .ShowDialog. The effect works fine, but there is one caveat. The task bar is also covered by the OpaqueForm; I am assuming because it has a FormBorderStyle of None and a WindowState of Maximized.
I don't want the OpaqueForm to cover the Task Bar, because it would be impolite to have my modal form lock out a user from switching between tasks. How could I go about preventing OpaqueForm from covering the Task Bar, too, while still using a FormBorderStyle of None?

i am working on a game that i have made in vb.net, i was able to create an Uploader where when the character moves it is uploaded to a Server, now i am trying to add the multiplayer where other player movements are downloaded, i have started off with this code:
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
dim client as new net.webclient
Label1.Location.X = client.DownloadString("ftp://User:Pass@Host/" + "Player_1_X_location" + ".txt")
Label1.Location.Y = client.DownloadString("ftp://User:Pass@Host/" + "Player_1_Y_location" + ".txt")

View 7 Repliesi was wondering if it's possible to do such:
'form location Me.Location = New Point(10%, 50%)
i know this code doesn't work as it looks, just loads the location by pixels. this is just a question, hopefully with a working code for a marked answer..so much work to do and so many choices to choose from.
I have a second form that loads when the main form loads. It sits behind the main form, is mainly transparent and does not allow interaction from the User.
Its as if the form is on the desktop, which is what I'm going for.
I set the location of the form to be in the top right hand corner of the desktop. On my PC, which is a 23" monitor, it works and looks great. But when I use my application on a notebook or a smaller screen, the form gets cut off. Why is obvious, because of the screen size differences.
What I want to know is how I might set the form to a more... definitive position. Rather, relative to the size of the screen.
I haven't searched much yet, but maybe there is a way to set the location of the form to a specific location of the desktop, not relative to the size of the screen.
I'm a bit confused when it comes to setting the start location of a form, relative to another form.I know how to set the start location for a form, however, I have a "main" form, which is behind this form. The main form will be displaying different images, labels, ect. I need the second form to display at the bottom of the main form. The main form's resolution is 800x600, and the bottom form is 800x65. I tried to set the bottom form's location to 0,535, which WOULD make it right at the bottom of the main form, but it seems that it puts it at that location relative to the user's display resolution.So basically, I just need help with getting this form to appear at the bottom of the main form. I read a bit about "containers", but am not sure exactly if they would work for this, and if they did, how exactly I would incorporate them into my situation.
View 2 RepliesInside a module I have the code:
Public frmClue2 As New frmClue
So I have a new instance of frmClue. Inside my main form I have the code:
frmClue2.Owner = frmClue
frmClue2.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual
frmClue2.Location = SecondaryScreen.Bounds.Location
frmClue2.Show()
The code works except for setting the location. The location is initially set to {X = -3 Y = -3} and it will not change. I have tried to set it to new Point(1440, 0) and that does not work. One interesting thing I found was if I declared the new instance of the form locally inside my main form rather than in the module, then the initial location is set to {X = -1 Y = -1} and I can change it no problem. However anytime the code leaves the main form, the instance disappears hence why I declare it as public in the module. I used the same code to create a new instance of the main form as well and there are no problems.

View 1 RepliesI have an MDI form with child forms which I open on it. The following statement in each form's load event places a child form in the location I want:
Me.Location = New Point(0, 136) I have several of these working. However, I have one form for which this statement does not work. It opens spread out over the entire parent form. Also, there is a border at the top with min, max, and close buttons even though the form has no border. This form has a picture box on it, if that means anything. why this child form does not open in the specified location?
