Group Form In A Form?
Aug 30, 2009
Now I am trying to make it more customizable/unique. I have groupboxes on the main form that separate everything into categories. I am wondering if it is possible to have the groupboxes look like small forms, or if there is some sort of "form control" that simply acts like a groupbox. Or perhaps another way to spiffy up my program to make a more visally apealing interface?
I'd like to make it where the user can select different "schemes" for the colors of the form, or perhaps just have selectable pictures from a template to use. I somewhat have an idea on how to do that, it's just a lot of coding that I don't want to do right now .
Also, where to get ideas for unique looking forms?
One last thing... My program is a cake price calculator. The user selects the pan size for the cake, and it automatically calculates the total for that number of servings. There is an options to change the number of servings for any pan size, that automatically updates the corresponding label. I had the idea to have a picture show of the cutting guide for the selected pan, but if the user changes the number of servings, the picture would not correspond to the number of servings. For instance:
Selected 6" round pan at 4" high. Normally does 12 servings. I can show just a simple picture, but if the user decides to change the number of servings to 11 or something, the picture would not correspond to the 12 serving picture listed. So far there is about 8 pan shapes, 2 heights for each pan, each with between 4 to 8 sizes. 74 pans totalling right now. That would be a lot to have to design each picture to allot for any number of adjustable servings.
Is it possible to have something draw the shape, then divide it accordingly by the number of servings?

Is there a better way to make a form with multiple buttons opening different things than having a form that has lots group boxes for each tab. So in the begining each box will be invisible and when you click the button the corresponding group box will become visible. Is there any other way?It will be like a background image and it'll have buttons that will mask it with invisible buttons. when the button is clicked it will open the corresponding group box.

How can I group controls in my Form?
I don't need groupbox or panels, just something in the code...
To make it clear:
I have one form, Form1.
I have 3 buttons: Button1, Button2 and Button3, and I have 2 labels, named Label1 and Label2.
I have 2 "groups", in group1 there is Button1, Button2 and Button3. In group2 there are the two labels (Label1 and Label2).
But how can I program that, that if I write (for example) "Group1.Hide()", then everything In Group1 hides (visible = false). And so on with group2.

I have a form that has group boxes of various controls for data input. One of the group boxes contains a user control. This user control can be 1 of 7 I have depending on the type of data I wish my user to load. The 7 user controls are all of various size. My form is a fixed size, and i have allowed room for the user control to fit the largest. However, the smallest one has a lot of space obviously. The resizing of the form itself I am struggling with. It has to be the size it is at now as there is a tab control,

lvSurgProcedure is the name of my listview control
Private Sub btnAddSurgeProcedure(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAddSurgProcedure.Click

I'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?

The following code does create a form within a form and does place NotePad inside the child form. You have to manually start NotePad prior to execution (I work on that later) but the code does workŠ My problem is now I want to manipulate the properties of notepad i.e. focus, size, location, etc. but I cannot figure out how to reference notepad and its properties.

I have a tool window that I want to stay above the main application form, but not stay on top of all windows forms. Similar to the floating properties window for visual studio - it always stays on top of the main VS window, but if I select another program, like internet explorer, the floating properties window will be behind internet explorer.
What I have is an application that has several forms that may be displayed at the same time. I have a Messages form that displays messages generated by the code in the form, that gives the status of the application. Obviously, the user would not normally be working on this form, but they may want it to be visible to see the status messages from the program (File saved confirmations, etc). So, my two options right now are I can set the form to be on top of all other windows forms or, when the user clicks on the main application form, the messages form would be hidden by the main form.
