In my program I want to have two different 'modes', each has its own form. My main form in the program is 'Normal Mode', but there is also a mode called 'Basic Mode' which has a smaller form. How can I switch between the two forms (using buttons) by closing the other without my program closing on me?

View 4 RepliesI understand because it has to be ON/OFF it won't go through to any other radio buttons in the group box. Would the best way is to use a hidden radio button that would switch control between the two? There's only two radio buttons i need to tab through, what's the best way to tackle this?

I am trying to make a UI that has a few forms / panels, each for a different "Tab" in the program.
I am guessing that the way to do this is using panels and code like:
Panel1.Visible = False
Panel2.Visible = False
Panel3.Visible = False
Panel4.Visible = True
Would I be correct in assuming that this is the best way to go? (I don't want lots of popup forms in the program, looking for the most streamlined way to go).
Also, if this is the correct way to go how would I go about hiding each panel in the IDE so that I can work on each one seperately using the designer view?
Here is the best example application I can think to use: [URL] Each of the tabs (Proxies, Harvester etc) has an image as the tab (Which I can't find an option to do with TabControl and then displays the container / panel below it

View 2 RepliesI have a piece of software with two tabs, inside each tab there are buttons (the user can add the buttons when they want). when tab1 is full tab2 should start to fill. I currently know how many buttons fit on the screen so I just say something like if buttons > 150 then start to populate tab 2 The problem i have now though is if the resolution is changed then a different amount of buttons can be displayed. so if I put my screen to 1280x720 some buttons are left of. I was thinking of detecting the resolution and then using different cases for different resolutions but this seems very inefficient im wondering if there is a different way?
View 5 RepliesIs 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.

I have a form in an application I'm working on that normally displays full screen without a taskbar but provide the option to switch to a minimizable window with a taskbar. When I switch from full screen without taskbar to minimizable window with taskbar everything is ok. When I try to switch back to full screen the border disappears but the taskbar is still there and the form is not aligned properly.The text at the top is cut off somewhat and there's a small margin at the right edge that shouldn't be there.I put this code in a keydown event for the form.
If Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None Then
Me.ControlBox = True
Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.Sizable[code]....
How do I get the taskbar to disappear and the form to display properly when I return to the full screen mode?

How can i put new buttons like these to windows form
View 1 Repliesi'm still working on making my button project and I've came across a new problem.
I want to create buttons based off the amount of lines in a text file which will be easy if I can get this to work. This is my test code before I implement it into the real program:
[Code]...
One of our users cannot see two buttons on a form, that everybody else can see. I'm not sure if the buttons are not there or the window is smaller than it should be. The size of this window is fixed, so it cannot be adjusted manually. (it is like a pop-up window infront of the main window). Our application is used by employees of our company all over the world. So they all have windows xp in different languages and their regional settings differ. But I can't see how that would make a difference.

View 1 RepliesWhen I change the BackColor for a Form, and then add new buttons, they have by default the same BackColor as the Form itself. That does not show on my Windows 7 development computer, but when I use the program on an XP machine, all buttons appear the same color as the form.
I correct this by changing the button's BackColor property to ButtonFace, but it is a pain to do it all the time and some times it gets past me and a wrong color button goes into the application.
Is there a way to change how this works so all buttons are placed with ButtonFace BackColor by default?
