Keep Form Sizes The Same In Different Resolutions?
Apr 9, 2012I have written a VB .NET 2010 application which displays a "you have new mail" window/form with an OK button that closes the form.
Some users have received new PCs with dual-monitors and the OK button is no longer visible on the form - it's at the bottom but off-form.I guess that this is related to a different screen resolution and not the dual-monitor setup itself.how to make my forms auto-resize? I though this was automatic in VS 2010.

View 2 RepliesFormat The Form - Making It Appear The Same For All Resolutions
Jan 17, 2010Firstly sorry if this has already been covered, though I am trying to find out if there is a way that I could make all objects on a form appear in the same area no matter what the resolution of the screen is? e.g. I have a group box located down the bottom right for a 1024x768 screen resolution but when I view it on my widescreen laptop it isn't right down the bottom right where I want it. Is there a way this can be done? I'm assuming i could check the system properties to tell me what the resolution is and if it's widescreen then change the location of the object.

View 1 RepliesForms For Multiple Resolutions?
Jul 24, 2006How would I go about designing something that will work on many different resolutions? For example, i have my monitor on a very high resolution, and when i work on my projects, the actual controls (buttons, text boxes ,whatnot) are in the top left quarter of my screen, because the program will have to be deployed on 800x600 machines.
Is there anyway to make it so it will stretch and look appropriate on different resolutions?

VS 2010 - Writing For Different Screen Resolutions
Jan 14, 2012I'm writing a piece of software at the moment which will require a form be full screen at all times. However, I am slightly plagued by the fact that my users will have varying screen resolutions. This makes placing controls etc very difficult. Any good techniques / tips to ensure that control layout looks consistent despite the screen resolution when an application is full screen. I'd like to try to avoid having to programmatically re-size and move controls based on screen res as this is a pain in the royal backside.

Mar 31, 2010I had all types of problems before with my application size.On one computer it fits great, but on the net book the application is so big that it crashes it.For example lets say that this is my application running on a regular PC which has a 60 Cm screen This not my application. On my net book which has a 25cm screen it will look different and bigger. Can i some how have a application that is the same size. I think this is very possible to do.

View 12 RepliesVS 2008 Can VB Automatically Adjust For Different Screen Resolutions
Aug 14, 2010I have a program which draws a U.S. map on the screen. This display looks great on my wide-screen (16:9) monitor, but it looks a little stretched horizontally on my wife's standard (4:3) monitor. Is there some way I can tell VB to automatically adjust the picture when a standard resolution is being used?
If not, am I correct in thinking that standard definition monitors are going the way of the dinosaur, much like is happening with TV's, and in the future we'll be seeing more and more wide-screen monitors.
VS 2010 User Interface - Particularly Dealing With Different Resolutions
Oct 9, 2011I am working on a sports management game and have already received some terrific help here with some XNA stuff. I now need some help for the user interface though. This game is very menu-centric, with loads of stats and tables and such. It is therefore paramount to get it right!
So far I have been doing all of the work on my 24" monitor at 1920x1080. Whilst the form is 1920x1080, the menu fits within a 1280x1024 top left region of the form. When I run the game on my other computer, which has a 19" monitor at 1280x1024, I was expecting a large chunk of the form to be cut off but the menu to be all visible. Well, it is all visible but things screw up. Different controls will overlap and such. I'm using Krypton Components for most of the UI and some of the text boxes seem to shrink vertically so you can only see less than half of the text. I have no idea why, they won't all do it.

TopMost Form - Messages Form Would Be Hidden By The Main Form
Nov 20, 2009I have a tool window that I want to stay above the main application form, but not stay on top of all windows forms. Similar to the floating properties window for visual studio - it always stays on top of the main VS window, but if I select another program, like internet explorer, the floating properties window will be behind internet explorer.
What I have is an application that has several forms that may be displayed at the same time. I have a Messages form that displays messages generated by the code in the form, that gives the status of the application. Obviously, the user would not normally be working on this form, but they may want it to be visible to see the status messages from the program (File saved confirmations, etc). So, my two options right now are I can set the form to be on top of all other windows forms or, when the user clicks on the main application form, the messages form would be hidden by the main form.
