I am trying to discover how to detect that a form has been resized, or rather, that a form is being resized. I need to call a sub to handle the resizing of text in relation to the new size of a form or control. I have found that setting a minimum height and width works behind the scene so I figure there must be something watching the form size but can't find what or where it is.

View 5 RepliesI have a form with a text box in a toolstrip. I would like to make the width of the textbox relative to the form size when the form is resized. The following code works fine except when you click the restore button from a maximized state.
[Code]...
I have 3 PictureBoxes on a form that are tiled on top of each other. the form has a minimum vaule of (502, 416) and a maximum of (502, 1080). because the user can select from a MenuStrip to display '1', '2' 0r '3' PictureBoxes at once '3' being the bottom and '1' being the top PictureBox. What i need is when the user drags down the form it snaps to the next PictureBoxes position, so it goes down in blocks this is what i have so far which is pretty far from working.
If Me.Height <= (1079) Then
Me.Height = (732)
ElseIf Me.Height <= (732) Then
Me.Height = (424)
ElseIf
End If
I also thought i might be able to figure it out if i new how to create a variable like this
If Me.Height <= (1079 to 733) Then
Me.Height = (732)
I know that it isn't the correct syntax but it's kind of the idea If you can make sense from my not so good description and point me in the right direction/code example i will be most grateful :)

View 1 RepliesIn VS 2005, I have a form with a few controls (comboboxes and labels) that won't display when the form loads. The controls show up as transparent "holes" in the form, through which I can see my desktop. As soon as I move the form, or left-click on the title bar for about a second (without moving the nouse) the controls render correctly.What do I need to do to get these controls to display correctly, short of forcing a resize?
View 6 Repliesi created 1 mdi parent form as frmMDI and 3 child forms as frmMainChild, frmChild2 and frmChild3. When the frmMDI is loaded, it will call the frmMainChild and set it to maximize. At here, i treat the frmMainChild as the base form of my application. in the frmMainChild, i can call other forms like frmChild2 and so on.
and now, my problems are: 1. how to disable the frmMainChild to be resized, restored? i just want to make it maximized only. 2. when i call the other child forms from frmMainChild, i notice that it always maximize the child form. can i make the child form to be in normal window state?
i have a form that needs to be maximized in vb.net. i dont want the user to be able to change its size or move it around.

View 5 RepliesHow do you get it so when you resize the form, the buttons move with the re sized form and they don't just disappear?
View 5 Replieswe all know how to dock or anchor controls so that they resize themselves accordingly when a form is resized. It works fine till we have rows of controls on left and right size of the form. But what if have three columns (Columns as in visual sense. I'm not talking about any column control containing other controls) of controls? For example a form having a bunch of controls in the left side, a bunch in the middle and a bunch in the right. There may be a few more bunches in the middle. Now while resizing the form, I want the controls to resize accordingly as well as change their positions to make space for the previous bunch of controls that are resizing.I mean, while the user increases the form size horizontally, the controls of the second bunch should resize and at the same time they should move right because the controls of the first bunch are increasing horizontally too. When the user decreases the form size horizontally the same thing should occur in the reverse order.I can manage it somehow using nested splitcontainers but that's too cumbersome. I would like to know if there's some better way to achieve it, like setting some property etc.?
View 3 RepliesPretending I have a class that inherits off Control, how would I handle the parent form's Resize and Move events within the control? I have a painting glitch that happens when the form is resized or moved. Right now in the form I just have:
vb.net Private Sub frmMain_ResizeMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles Me.Resize, Me.Move Me.Refresh()End Sub
But this can't be the proper way to do it, considering Refresh() invalidates all children (will be slow and flashing if the form has lots of controls). I want to basically do the above code inside the control.
Edit:This is the glitch after a resize of the parent form:
And this is what the button is supposed to look like:
Also, I experience this issue if something like a message box is dragged over top of it. How can I remedy these issues by forcing a repaint?
I need to detect shift + arrow key in blank form. But it's not working. I also tried overriding IsInputKey method but it only detects single key press (like arrow key) but when multiple key are pressed it simply doesn't work.
View 5 RepliesI guess no need for further description... here's my other post for app that i'm makeing
View 1 RepliesOne of the things I was doing was renaming controls on the form to understandable names and a couple of times I would use a variable name for a control on the form that I hadn't actually renamed yet and since I know what the name would be, I went ahead and coded the routines with the new name (knowing it would produce the compile errors) and when I was done, I switch to the form view and for whatever stupid reason it refreshed itself like it was re-compiling the form (I never clicked re-build, or build solution since I had those 16 compile errors) and VS didn't display the form, it displayed the error tab with the stack trace.... that became a huge problem because then I couldn't rename the control which would fix the compile errors. Why the heck is the IDE doing that?
It shouldn't be re-rendering the form, or if it does it shouldn't be erroring because I never re-built the project. I ended up renaming the variables to something that would compile, then I went back to the form, changed the name of the control and went back to the code window and noticed, I couldn't re-do the name changes. I don't know if a bug report has been sent to MS, but that's something they should probably fix.
I also noticed that the intellisense window can't be resized like I used to be able to.All-in-all I've had my first actual VS 2010 project and there's a lot of things that are bugging me about the IDE and I'm thinking of skipping this one and migrating from VS 2008 to VS 2012 (or whatever the next one is) when they've gotten the IDE more normal.
When a user changes the size of my application, I would like the picturebox to get resized accordingly... IE if he increases the size, then the size of the picturebox increases proportionally.

View 1 RepliesOk before I get flamed hear me out. I have a form with panels containing tablelayoutpanels containing various amounts of controls that alternate visibility. On the form in its entirety I am looking at roughly 3200 controls most of which are radio buttons.
Now that being said, I am trying to figure out a way to capture what control (mainly radiobutton) is being clicked on through the forms events. So far my attempts have failed with mousedown, mouseclick, etc. Yes I know I can use the "handles radiobutton1.Clicked" event directly. However with that many radiobuttons....I know that there has to be a better way to do this. An API, windows hook, something. So far my efforts to find an alternative method have failed.
just now I was trying to capture the F1 key on the form, but only managed when the form is selected, and I need to detect it in any form control. I used this code:
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.F1
MsgBox("Right")
e.Handled = True
End Select
I'm making an app that will be able to repeat the user's mouse movement, and also clicks.I have managed to repeat the movement but i have no idea where to start in detecting click outside of form..

I need a way to detect when a child form has been closed. I've created an MdiWindowList thing (but in the form of a toolbar with buttons, similarly to the Windows taskbar), and everything works great, but the method I have for refreshing the taskbar's windows has to be called when a child form closes. I've trying calling the method from the child's Form_Closing event, but there's a slight lag so whenever there's more than 1 window open the first one gets skipped (then the others close properly, since the taskbar is being refreshed first before the form actually closes).

View 3 RepliesI have a panel that has 8 buttons located on it each named But1,But2,ect. What I am trying to figure out how to do is resize all of the buttons in width when the panel is resized in width. [Code] Is there something simpler to do this as I will eventually have 3 panels with 8 buttons on each one that would need to be resized at the same time. In VB this was controlled by an index and a for next loop, but I see no way to create a control array for all the buttons when they are on separate panels.
