Getting A ToolStripProgressBar To Stretch To Fill It's StatusStrip?
Mar 1, 2010
How do you get a ToolStripProgressBar to stretch to fill it's StatusStrip when the form resizes? There is no Dock properties for ToolStripProgressBar. I tried setting ToolStripProgressBar.Width and ToolStripProgressBar.Height in the Form resize event but it doesn't do anything.
I have the below code which will send xml to me website when Button3 is clicked:
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Button3.Click If RichTextBox2.Text = "Please enter the XML Data" Then
Been trying to figure out why my progress bars (one in the status bar when the main window is open and the other in a window by itself before the main window is shown) go up most of the way, then stop till the processing is done.I have refresh in there where the action takes place, and that made it work mostely.Basically I'm loading a file into a string, then while in a loop, I'm processing the file by lines. I have a function that retrieves a line, then it does a:
I have a drawing image, Dim DrawingImage as Image = My.Resources.Img, which will be drawn on my form. The DrawingImage is supposed to be 64x64, but the Img.png is 114x114. How can I get this DrawingImage to stretch so that there is no cut off portion?
P.S. Is there a way to BringToFront this DrawingImage?
I am trying to control the Stretch property of an Image object in VB (using Visual Studio 2008 if it matters.)Is there a way to do this with VB code?I have added the Presentation Framework reference to the project.I can create a variable to point to an image using dim imgName as Image = Image.fromfile("filename.jpg").After I declare the variable, I can imgName. and get a whole list of properties, but Stretch isn't there.
how can I stretch my toolstrip buttons? The size of my form is 300 x 250
I only have 5 toolstrip buttons, so the buttons only fill up half of my form. How can I make it so that the buttons stretch to the size of my form? So, that I can fill up the whole toolstrip?
i got this code to change the desktop background from a forum.[code]the SetWallpaper function was written by me as the ChangeWallpaper only works on .bmp files.all these code works but my problem is that i need this wallpaper to be stretched because some of my pictures are smaller or larger than 1280 by 800 pixel which is my pc monitor dimensions. i've tried to tweak the ConvertBitmap function (as you can see in the comments) to produce bmp's to my screen size but it doesn't work.i need to set the pictures (.bmp or not) to be stretched and i don't know about dlls and stuff
Im have a form and an image. Imagine the form's backcolor to be black and the image to be a landscape. When you resize the form the image is also resized and streched towars all directions. The point is that as you resize the form the image delays to be resized so the background which is black is showed.
This might be a simple question, but how do I automatically have my form adjust it's width to the size of the screen on startup? I also need it to dock on the very bottom of the screen at startup, and it needs to stay above all other open programs.
I get how to stretch an image in the picturebox, that's easy. Now how to make sure it keeps that original ratio, so it's not distorted? Maybe it's as simple as a different setting on the picturebox? Maybe I am mistaken and want to use a different tool?
i'm creating 64 button dynamically during run time. and from database i'm getting the description, font color, back color and picture path. and if the picture path is not nothing, then i need to display that picture in that button. if picture path is nothing, then need to display the description as button text using font color and back color.
this button values are not loaded only once. using button click Addhandler, each button values keeps on changing each time.
The Code i used to display is
Code: For Each c As Control In Controls If c.Name = "ItemBtn-" & x Then c.Text = ButtonText
[Code].....
while i run the program, the image is diplaying in correct button if picture path exist and button that didn't have the picture path is displaying the text.
but the image is not fitting inside the Button. i can see only half of the image. i need a way to make the Image stretched or reduced to fit inside button.
I've been working with a class that was originally coded in C# that allows you to place semi-transparent (alpha) PNGs onto your forms. I'd like to have the ability to stretch the PNG images to a users preference. For this I have used standard code to resize a form using a picturebox as a gripper. On the resize event of the form I call the SetBitmap() sub to re-define the width and height of the image.
I need to stretch the form according by the users screen. My application has to run maximized, but other users may have different resolutions sat and they won't see the whole program or will see it smaller than their screen.
This may affect the resolution, what code would do that?
maybe something like: get resolution (x:y) and set size width and height but I would still need to stretch all the other controls within the form as well.
I'm coding a Windows Forms App that has a StatusStrip that displays status informations to the user, and hints when the mouse is over relevant things. However, when the program is on it's minimal window size, the text sometimes is bigger than the whole StatusStrip, and the label simply dissapears. There must be a workaround to this, ideally I'd like it to auto ellipsis when the text is bigger than the window allows. But how?
when I starded to "finish" my appliaction. The whole MenuStrip and StatusStrip have disappeared!
This wasn't the first time when I lost menu but this time I have made so big work for it so I really dont want to start again as I did last time...
I read another thread but I didn't get my problem solved. I think I lost my menu after I deleted "loading.png" image from resources. I'm not sure does this cause the problem but I think so.
I have all the codes in form1.vb and in form1.designer.vb in looks that: [CODE...]
Is there any hope to get menu and statusstrip back? :( Or is there any fast way to rebuild them if I have all the codes ready? This was almost finished... now it doesnt look finished at all.

We have a browser in a panel that gets resized programatically. Unfortunately when the panel is larger or smaller than the nominal size of the web page visited by the browser, we either get a clipped image, or a lot of blank area. We would like to force the browser page to stretch to fill the available space when we dock the browser in the panel.
I am making an operating system based game in visual basic. The real problem is that the game runs full screen and when it comes to desktop backgrounds I am having heaps of problems.First I had the desktop as just the forms background image but I needed to add icons to the desktop so I anchered a listveiw onto the background and the problem is that the listview is not transparent and you can't see the desktop background.
I thought that I could fix that problem by setting the background image on the listveiw as the background image but the problem is when i set a background image on the listveiw there is no option to stetch the image. The only option is to tile the background image.
How can I get the listveiw either transparent or set it a stretched background. ( the user gets to choose a desktop background so they all need to be able to stretch to the full desktop of the user's screen resolution.)
Is there any way to scroll in a StatusStrip when its controls exceed form viewing area? My StatusStrip acts as a taskbar with a lot of labels (acting as buttons) which if there are too many might go outside the bounds of the screen.
I have a StatusStrip at the bottom of the Form. When i run the form I am able to drag it and move it towards the top. So the StatusStrip just disappears. I dont want the user to be able to MOVE the strip. How do I do that ??
how to minimize MDIchild windows to the StatusStrip...or is there another toolbar object in VB.NET (2008)? I have a menu layered over my MDI Parent window (which is always maximized) and if I minimize another child window, i can't see it anywhere (unless I minimize the menu too, but I took that ability away from the user)... I think I know how to do this through the menustrip at the top of the window (click on open windows....like in excel or word), but I'd like to see the windows minimized in a toolstrip of the MDI parent.
I have a problem in right aligning a toolstrip on the status strip of the form. It has a property alignemnt set to right but it still remains on the left side of the container.
How to put a control near the right side of the status strip?
I've got a StatusStrip...and I'm trying to initialize some code when it gets focus...so clicking on it should give focus to it right? I've tried the following
