I have a large Form1.vb (design). I had to do that so I can see the pictures and buttons scattered all over.The running code does not need a large sapce.I created location for all of the parts to fit inside 800x500.My design time form is almost 1100x800.How to create the executable to be a specific size?
View 2 RepliesTextBox1.font.size = "8".Gives me an error.... what would be the proper syntax to define a font size in code.yes I know it can be changed in the properties but I need to know to change it in code too..

View 11 RepliesI developed a form application on my computer, but when it was used in another computer with different screen size, i was told the form didn't fit. Do I have to adjust the form size or any other ways to let the form compatible on different screen size? (could be different screen size or wide screen)

If I re-size the form, the textbox inside should be re-sized to fit the form, NOT DOCK!

View 1 RepliesI have a program that outputs a file. I want the user to be able to just double-click the output file and launch the program, just like Word and Excel. In Word for instance, one doesn't necessarily have to open WORD then click on File--> Open and locate another Word doc. He can just go to the folder and open the Word doc. I want to implement the exact scenario in my program.
So far I have tried creating TextFile and added it to the Resources. On FormLoading, I simply I stream-read the Resouce file, but I can't write to the Resource on FormClosing, since the Resource is ReadOnly. Also, the Resource is built & compiled so I suppose you can't add anything to it at run time.How you lunch an output file without launching the Executable program that created it?
I have an executable that I was able to get working on all XP machines by registering all the .dll's associated with it.On Vista, however, I go through the exact same registration process but right when I open the executable it goes to a "WindowsApplication1 has stopped working" dialog. I registered the DLLs in the SysWOW64 folder. I also ran Dependency Walker which came up with IEFrame.dll as flagged, don't know if that is relevant though.

I'm developing a software that handles very specific regional standards. In one part of the country they have different standards for entering this data than they do in other parts of the country. In fact there are hundreds or thousands of possible configurations that would be best in various regions.
The solution I've come up with is to write a program that can load different control configurations with the supporting code to its main form at runtime. I do not know how to accomplish this. Would I use visual inheritance at runtime? Would I use a plugin system? I just need to potentially allow a power user to design thier own interface or to modify an existing interface to better suit thier needs.
Edit: Is there a way to define the base class of a form at runtime? Could I create user controls in a plugin and pass them in to the host program?
I want to to increase size/move when the form's size changes....

(: Get notices about email while playing MW2 or whatever.Is it possible to program something in VB to "implant" a windows form into an existing application? So say whenever I open my office program a windows form I made comes up in addition to the office program (without changing how the other app functions) and possibly independent of the office program (when one is closed the other remains).I have a project with a windows form, it's just a form with 2 text boxes, a label, a progress bar, a button, and a timer, we'll call this program A.Program B is a basic word processor program (word pad, works writer, etc). Program C is the implanting program.Programs A and C are visual basic applications. Program B is any given windows program.
When program C runs it takes a copy of program A and finds program B. It implants program A into program B and then quits. Then when program B launches, there is no difference in program B's functionality, but an extra windows form (program A) launches simultaneously to program B. When looking at the task manager the user sees one process, program B's process. Finally, if the user re-runs program C it finds program B again and removes program A. My actual question is can you give me some code examples or theory help for program C, the implant/remove program.
My challenge is to prepare for a presentation using a GUI interface to access a program written in Fortran.The Fortran program reads a data file and then writes an output file.For the presentation I need to be able to change a variable value in a VB form, update the data file, and run the Fortran program from the VB form.I also need to be able to create graphs using VB forms using the output file generated by the Fortran program.
View 2 RepliesI'd like to set the form size to the size of a textbox. The size of the textbox can differ, as it is set to auto-size. However when I use this code, which should work (as far as I know) the form just goes to 0 height and 0 width:

View 2 RepliesI've been creating short test apps repeatedly to try to understand some of the concepts in VB.NET.For the most part it has been illuminating.I read Bucky's .NET knowlegebase tutorial on passing objects as parameters to newly created forms. He shows how to create a new class that inherits from the base form class and define a New() method with parameters Extending the concept I thought about doing the same thing with a form that was created at design-time (In this case Form2).

View 3 RepliesI Actually want to provide a new service which requires creating executables on the fly from executables generated in vb.net. For example lets say I have a form with a textbox and in that textbox we pass an argument which is for example the serial of the product, then we have a button which once clicked will generate an executable on the fly which has also a textbox requiring that serial to run? That was only an example but the main thing is how to generate that exe on the fly.

But at 300dpi the form is 2550 x 4200. Do I have to build the form as per the dpi ratio? I cannot make the form greater than 1612 x 1212.
