I have a program and wish to generalise its appearance at startup on different machines. This worked OK until I moved it onto a Windows 7 unit with a 22" screen. The front page covers less than 2/3 of the screen. I know I've asked the system for 'working area' but could not find a reference to the entire screen which other applications seem able to use. How can I catch up with them? The code is from VB in VS2005. Is this my limitation?

View 2 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI've created a windows form application in vb 2010. I've got all my forms complete and now want to add a Login screen. One the login screen, after the username/password is entered and OK is pressed, I try to open the a connection string. Obviously if the connection fails, the user has entered the incorrect credentials. If the credentials are ok, True is returned and I then open up the Main form that shows the correct items for the logged in user.

I have a form with full of objects & fix in 1020 & 800 screen solution, but if I set screen solution to 800 x 640 (to see more clear other applications) then my form show mising the right & bottom parts
1. Can VB show with auto-adjustment screen (auto show the form smaller to be fit)?
2. My form somehow can be set with Horizontal & Vertical slide (or some thing similiar) so the user can see the rest?
how to ensure that a form stays on-screen completely and cannot be dragged outside the bounds of the window.
This is because the user needs to be able to completely see the form without any of it being cut off.

How Can I make the form full screen ? i want the codewhich can do this
View 4 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI am using the following code in the 'Application.Designer.vb' to set one of the two forms as the the mainform for my splash screen.The global string array gSetupStr(0,1) only produces a correct result when any Msgbox is inserted before the 'If' statement.However,I do not want the Msgbox during a splash screen, but do want to control the mainform.

View 1 Replieshow to center my form and make it full screen
[Code]...
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.
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?
I have an application, in which i have some windows forms and About form.When i show these windows, As of now they are coming somewhere near screen top left. But i want them to come at the screen centre.
View 8 RepliesBasically 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.

View 1 RepliesI have a splash screen, the default from Visual studio. It loads up, is shown for a few seconds, then, when it disappears, the main form is loaded. Now here is the problem: the main form appears in the back, behind the windows explorer window I load the application from.
The weird thing is that this only happens on some computers, particularly Windows XP machines.I tried a lot of things like BringToFront() or TopMost = true in the on Load event of the form but nothing seems to change this.
