Forms :: Controls Changing Size For No Reason?
Apr 20, 2010
My program has two lists, one a listbox and the other a listview viewed in details mode.
Both of them change heights (get taller) for no obvious reason. I am having to add a call to a method that resizes them to the end of every method, which is kind of absurd, I think. Also, when the window size is changed, these components change size, which means I have to keep track of that.
Edit: I had also thought of adding a timer to handle this.

I'm searching for a way to change the font size of selected text in a RichTextBox (rtf) having different font families (e.g. Arial and MS SansSerif) and font styles (underline, bold...) using the FontDialog, but without changing the families and styles. The following code resets all the font attributes, which is not what I want:

I am after a property that makes a control (textbox, datagrid or other) move according to the forms size. Because some of the controls I got does that, and I really don't want it. I've been looking at them but could not find it

I have come across a problem with visual studio 2010 & vb.net. i have a few custom controls on the form and few standard controls. When i build the application, the custom controls automatically change size and location. Anchoring and Dock properties are fine. Anchored to Top Left without dockstyle. Even if i fix the location and size in design mode, after i run the application the controls again change back to weird position.

I have inherited from a Windows.Forms.Listbox so I could override the OnPaint and OnDrawItem methods in an effort to highlight specific items and alternate backcolors. I am also skipping some DrawItem events to prevent flickering.Everything is working fine, however when I select items in the listbox, it looks like the font is shrinking or becoming more compressed.Then when I mouse leave, the font goes back to its normal size and appearance but the same items are still selected (which is correct). During debugging the font never changes nor do any of its properties, but it does end up looking different when the item is selected and the mousedown event just happened.

I have been searching for a solution to this but I can't find one. I have played with the anchor and dock properties but they are not doing what I want, so here goes... I would like to place and size all of my controls on my form and then when the form is re-sized during run time (different resolutions, full screen/windowed, etc), have everything just scale up or down accordingly. Anchoring the controls to all four sides of my form re-sizes the control properly but it doesn't move it's location in sync with the other control's size next to it, they begin to overlap each other. Am I going to have to code my own scaling code for each control in my program?

TextBox.Font.Size = 12
TextBox.Font.Bold = True
Is this true, and if so what do I need to do

I have a problem with my program. I have a form with 2 buttons UP and DOWN. I use this buttons to change the size of the form. The first step works fine. If I press the down button I get MsgBox ("Go Down", vbYesNo,) if I press Yes the form resize from 300 to 600 and if I press no it stay 300. The problem is, if the form is already at 600 everytime I press the down button I get the MsgBox ("Go Down", vbYesNo,) if I press Yes it recycles it self the form goes to 300 and then back to 600 and if I press No it stays 600. What I want is if the form is already 600 and I press the down button it skips the MsgBox ("Go Down", vbYesNo,) and the form stay at 600.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub ButtonUp_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonUp.Click
Dim answer As String
If Val(TextBox1.Text) < 0 Then
answer = MsgBox("Go Up", vbYesNo, )
If answer = vbYes Then
For x = 300 To 600

I am creating a program with a web browser component, and a tab control. Default, the web browser is anchored to the toolbar. In my program there is an option to make a toolbar at the top of the form visible.false. Is there a way to make the web browser anchor to the top of the tab control when the toolbar is not visible, and anchor to the toolbar when the toolbar is visible?? I have experimented with docking (fill) but then parts of the web browser become covered by the toolbar and status bar. I am still relatively new to visual basic 2008 so if you could please explain or provide code.

I am using the PowerPack and trying to change multiple ovalshape size, I have used the following code for changing multiple labels,
For Count As Integer = 1 To 100
Me.Controls("Label" & Count).Text= "Hello World"
Next Count
If I do the same for OvalShape, assume I have OvalShape1, OvalShape2.... OvalShape100
For Count As Integer = 1 To 100
Me.Controls("OvalShape" & Count).Size = New System.Drawing.Size(20, 20)
Next Count
The above throws error when executed.

I am working on a application which is basically a screen designer. I have implemented the form designing capabilities using IDesignerHost and other interfaces. In my application user can pick a component from toolbox and drop it on the designer screen and can configure the properties from property window. I have my own set of properties which gets populated from database. Screen designer is working fine but the problem occurs when user changes some properties from property window. Say user changes property 'Width' then I change the width of the selected control in designer but the problem is SelectionOverlay shows the old size. When I select another control and select old control again, SelectionOverlay(resize handlers which appears around the control) shows properly. How can I tell the SelectionOverlay that the size of the control is changed.

I have a button (btnAdd) that adds the content of a textbox (txtName) to a textblock (lblName). I want to add a date to the textblock when btnAdd is pressed but I want it to be a different font size and colour. So far my code looks like
lblName.Text = txtName.Text " " + DateTime.Now
I only want DateTime.Now to be a different size and colour. Is this possible? Instead of a label I need to display it in a listBox. My new code:
listBox1.Items.Add(txtName.Text " " + DateTime.Now)
