Forms That Support Multiple Resolution
Oct 20, 2009
I have this program, where the main (one and only, "ControlBox" set to "false" and "FormBorderStyle" set to "none") form will fill up the whole monitor. It wasn't set to "WindowState" = "Maximized", but rather I have it designed to fit on the resolution of the target monitor's resolution size. It is set to run on 1920 x 1080 size. Hence I have all the layout and child controls laid out nicely.Right now, I was thinking, what if I wanted to have my program fit snuggly (or nicely) into the target monitor's resolution, varying from 800x600, 1024x768, 1440x900 and such.What would be the best approach? Make multiple copies of the form in designer, lay out those controls, then create a centralized class file that sort of integrates all the methods that were existing in the original form, so that the rest of the form would be sharing it as well.
Or would I make only 1 form and do all the layout adjustment on runtime and having the hassle and pain of going through it? I have 1 main problem though, there's this logo which stuck on the top left portion of the form, which currently just fit nicely on this 1920 x 1080's form. I wonder what would happens if I size it on runtime.

I have an application that produces a form whose objects are scaled to the width and height of the primary monitor whose parameters are obtained from:
Dim ScreenWidth As Integer = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width
Dim ScreenHeight As Integer = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height
So far, the program works fine. A possible problem arises when multiple monitors are being used that do not share the same resolution. For example, if the 2nd monitor has a low resolution, then the form is cut-off.
I'd like to:
1.) determine that more than half the form has been moved to another monitor
2.) determine the resolution on the second monitor.
I suspect that the following command will give me all the dimensions that I need:
Dim ScreenWidthUsed As Array = Screen.AllScreens
In which case I just need to determine the screen that is hosting more than 1/2 the form.

So.. I created an full-screen application. It worked out perfectly on my own computer, but at my friend's computer, it was totally ****ed up. I guess it's the screen resolution. So, here's the question: - How do I automatically change the forms resolution, based on the screen size? (I don't want the user to do it manually...)

I have an application where some forms have a resolution of1280 x 800 (not ideal i know now)I have come across a few xp machines where resolution can be as low as 800 x 600 Is there an application or code that allows VB to resize all contents of a form depending on user machine or to change resolution of said machine during runtime?

I am trying to design a basic version of spaceinvaders. I have 6 pictureboxes on my form and the idea is to add a value to the picbox.top property that moves the boxes down at a certain time and speed that i have set in my timer control. The problem i have is i am trying to set properties for all the pictureboxes at the same time by using arrays.
An example would be
dim mypic() as picturebox = {pic1, pic2, pic3, pic4, pic5, pic6}
pic1.top = 10
[code].....

Does the Express Version support adding multiple soultions (.sln) to a project or is this only available with the Professional version.I see that I can add a DLL as a reference that was built in 2010, but it is not letting me step into it with the debugger (or recompile changes to its source).

I have a very high screen resolution on my laptop: 1400x1050.My colleague tried it out on his laptop (which had lesser resolution), and the application did not fit on his laptop. The buttons were dragging out of the screen space.So, I want my application to automatically resize/adjust based upon the screen resolution.I don't want to use Maximized screen option and don't want to change user's pc settings.Unfortunatly I am not using Table Layout panel.

I compiled some VB6 code on my Win7 x64 machine and the result .exe will not run correctly on any other machine. VB6 code is just a new template .exe file with one button, a reference to "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.6 Library" and the following code in the button press event: Dim db Set db = New ADODB.Connection It runs correctly on my machine, but no others (even other Win7 x64 machines) (Update: I found TWO other users where it runs and one of them is Jeff Atwood!, but most machines have the same problem)

I have the requirement to create an application that has multiple front ends developed using Windows Forms, WPF, ASP and Compact Framework Mobile Forms.I would like to be able to create a series of obejct representing the business logic and have this logic accessible from the various front ends available. My first thought was to use remoting as I'd like to be able to pass the business objects back and forth between client and server but the compact framework doesn't support remoting and also transferring a full framework business object to a compact framework business object doesn't seem possible.My next thought was to use web services but again the passing of business objects seems to be very hard to accomplish. Without doing this I would have to create individual web methods for each business operation.
Finally my next option is to use sockets and write the whole client/server logic within some classes and expose them to the UI/Business layer. My only problem with this is it is not scaleable should the number of clients increase dramatically whereas using remoting or web services I can host the solution via ASP.Net.Does anybody have an ideas on the best way forward for this or even have any input on how they would write an application that required a windows form, wpf, asp website and mobile device GUI all of which want to use the same business logic?

I have googled high and low to find an answer to this but I must be searching wrong.I have an application which has a listview displaying some items that are stored in a SQL Compact database. I am using a second form to add new items to this list directly into the database.When the second form closes I want to call the sub in my first form to refresh the list from the database.
How can I get it to fire the form1 sub routine on the close event of form2

i was doing a fair amount of programming many years ago, like 10 it feels like, so I'm sorely not up to date on how my newly downloaded Visual Basic Express expects me to communicate with it.I am writing a program that pulls a cell from a database after the user has gone through several forms to determine which cells they want. When I write it like that, it doesn't sound very efficient, but I've designed it this way for usability.Here's where I have a problem: Should I store the path the user takes in a string, an array, what?
Here's an example:Someone wants baseball stats and trivia. They run my program, main form pops up, they select National League button, the NL Form pops up. Now the way my program is set up right now, is there are two ListBoxes on the form, one is populated, and as the user selects a Team from ListBox1, it jumps to ListBox2. Once they've selected all the teams they want info for, they click a button Next.
What I now need the program to do is show the next form "Team: name" once for each team, and insert the name of the team on the form in the appropriate label which I'll have blank. This form will also do the Listbox thing except the first listbox will populated with Topics like HR Stats, Pitching Stats, Coach History, etc.

Launch a dialogue window from the main form, and then another dialogue window from that dialogue window. If you close the second dialogue window and call dispose the main form vanishes under any other open windows. This doesn't happen by closing a dialogue window normally, but I am attempting (rightly or wrongly) to stop memory useage creeping up by disposing of it.
So, the question is - what method can be employed to maintain the position of the windows?

I have two forms frmMain and frmNew, and one module modMain. In modMain I hold public variables which are needed for application. My question is how to open and close those two forms when needed? I ask this because if i set frmMain as startup form, then when closed, application will end, and one of those two forms will always be displayed. Also if I set frmNew as startup form, then when I close this form, application will also end. Is there a way to do this from module or something so my application won't end after closing and opening any of those two forms?

VB.NET newbie here... I have an vb.net windows application set up. It has multiple forms, about 6 in all. There's a main menu form, and then 5 other forms to collect data. The user will collect data on each form and bounce back and forth between forms. How do I get the forms to retain the data that has been entered into the text boxes and/or other controls on the forms? For example, they might fill out a few textboxes on a form, but then need to go to a different form and fill something out... and then back to the previous form. Right now, when they come back to the form, all the data previously entered in to the text boxes is gone.

I'm still learning vb.net, so I'm not terribly familiar with all the terminology, otherwise I would have searched a little harder before posting. I'm working on a program where the user can add various forms to a MDI parent.I would like each of the child forms to be part of the same array, all of the child forms will be of various types.Some forms may display a textbox, some forms may contain a graph, some forms may contain an image, etc.[code]
