I have a small program that works just fine on my desktop (23 inch monitor). I programmed it on this computer as well. My laptop (17 inch monitor) works fine also, however, on a 15 inch monitor the picturebox's are off and not where they were when I programmed it. Also, some forms you can not see the entire form and the bottom is cut off.

How would i make so when the user resizes the form the controls on the form resizes to what ever(ex: form become full screen textbox is full screen.
View 2 RepliesWhen loading the form then my windows state is maximized (properties--windows state--maximized). After loading the form then if I press taskbar menu top(maximise button is disabled and minimize button is disabled on form) then size of form is changing. I have used screen.width,and height to restore when form resizes but still for the first time of form loading it moves and set to the boundaries. Atleast once also it should not move. How to stop changing the windows state from moving when we click task bar. Again in form properties -- application -- I have checked -- make single instance application. When if again any other path same form is opened. Then also it resizes to other state.
View 2 RepliesFor some reason, a certain Form in my project will change it's size all on it's own right after I call it. It's usually with small forms in the one I'm having a problem with is 95x25 pixels. The only thing on it is a Label with some text in the middle and this code
Public Class MessageForm
Private Time As Integer = 25
Private Sub fadeTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles fadeTimer.Tick
Time -= 1
[Code] .....
As you can see the Form is meant to be a small pop-up that disappears on its own, like a balloon tip. Anyways I just added it to my project 5 minutes ago and as soon as I tested it out by displaying it with Form.Show(), it randomly changed to 123 by something else during runtime. I checked all the Form properties for any kind of resize properties and only found AutoScaleMode which was set on font, but set on None made no difference. Like I said I just added this form and have no code affecting it whatsoever in my entire project except for Form.Show and the code on that form. For the moment I'm just resizing the form on it's own Load event, and that seems to work, but I'd like to know what is causing this random form resize.

I have a VB 2008 program that has a number of forms. When I run the compiled program on a different computer, the form appears different. The relative position of various controls on the form are different. Its as if the controls have been repositioned. Resizing the form does not correct the problem. The only difference between the two machines is the size and resolution of the screens.

View 2 RepliesI created a new windows form application using VB 2010. I added no controls to the form. This is right "out of the box" app created by the VB windows form app wizard. I next added a FormClosed event handler. The handler gets called whenever I click the "x" on the form.Later I needed to close the form programatically in response to an event from an automation client. So I did something apparently farily dumb. I called "Me.Close()" Nothing happens. The form stays up on the screen. My FormClosed event handler is NOT called.The MSDN entry for "Close" doesn't give me a clue as to why this call doesn't work. Indeed, it seems to imply it should work.So I added a couple of lines of code after calling "Close()" since when I stepped across that line of code it appears that no other code would execute. Sure enough, as soon as I step over the call to Close(), I cannot step through any other lines of code.
Then I found another piece of form code while searching around and I found the code had what appeared to be an odd keyword just dangling in the code. The keyword, colored by the IDE as a VB keyword?So I typed "End" into my method and intellisense shows me "End Statement. Stops execution immediately". And it does. But is my FormClosed event handler called. No.I added "Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form" to see if that had any effect. No change.So how does a form close itself programatically?

View 1 RepliesI am working on an application and I want the user to be able to enter commands into a textbox, and when they press enter, the command is printed in a rich text box, executed, and the output is printed. For instance: the user types move{file1}, {location} into the text box and this happens:
>command: move{file1}, {location}
>$ moving file1 to location
>job completed
How would I write lines to the rtb and execute commands when the enter key is pressed?
This works, partly.
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles command.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Return) Then
RichTextBox2.Text = Environment.NewLine + command.Text
End If
End Sub
it erases everything in the textbox before adding the line... I would also like to be able to make a database of commands, maybe a .dll or something, so that when the user types in something, it checks that database to see if the command exists, if it does it executes, if not, error.

I am currently creating an application which monitors any errors that occur in the other applications I have developed.
