When I start working on a Project I like to change the size of the Properties Window. (I like to make it taller than it is by default). But each time I start a new Project the Properties Window goes back to the original shape/location. Is there a way that I can customize the layout of that window so that the shape is retained across sessions?

View 1 RepliesI have the following function that should make the window always on top of other applications.
Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" _
(ByVal handle As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, _
ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
[Code]....
The problem is that it reduces the window size so that you can only see the title bar and min/max/close buttons. Also, even that does not stay on top of other windows.
I have used this function before on a windows 7 machine (instead of xp which this one is on) and it worked fine.
I want to take a snapshot of the foreground window without using print screen key. So far the only think i can do with the foreground window is get its title but If i can get the size and location then I can get cordinates on where to set capture with graphics.copyfromscreen.

for example,once the FontFamily name was selected by the end-user how would I be able to show the end-user which FontStyles and FontSizes were available for the selected FontFamilyNamein seperate comboboxes.Again,f you populate a combobox1 that shows the FontFamilyNames available on the system using a For Loop, then I would assume that the sammethod would apply for populating the combobox2and combobox3 with the avaibable FontStyle and FontSize properties respectively.This question is related to a previous question:

View 1 RepliesI am using the following function and code to try to get the size of a client window in vb.net, I don't think I have any issues with my Rect structure.Why do I get this error: 'Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.'

The object is to load an image into a picturebox, then save a new copy of the image in a different location, but with the height and width of the image box not the original file's height and width but I can't figure it out. I've got the loading and saving working no problem but getting it to adopt the new size is stumping me, it just keeps saving with the original file's size properties
View 2 RepliesIf I have a custom windows service running on a server, is there anyway I can access the value of a property/variable within that service? For example, I would like to have a client vb program be able to "read" the value some variable from that service. A simple example would be the service would capture a boolean value of the success or failure of the last time it kicked off a process. I would then like to have a client windows app "connect" with the service and be able to read that boolean value.

I am starting a Console (3rd party application) with a New Process in vb.net. I simply want to size the window when it loads. All the APIs have not worked, SetWindowPos, MoveWindow, etc... need to work in all versions of Windows. Anybody have solid code that does this?
View 4 RepliesI'm a new user of Visual Studio 2008. While I am a fan of Tabbed Browsing, I am in no way a fan of Tabbed Programming, so I have my "Window Layout" set to "Multiple Documents".However, I have been horrified to find that the default window size for any form or module opened is about 9/10ths of the work space. When I resize the window and close it, it opens back up again to 9/10ths of the work space. This is going to very seriously impact my work flow.There has to be some kind of mistake. I've looked for a way to set the default window size, but to no avail. I've searched the web for 3rd party plugins that would let me have more control over the IDE, but also to no avail.Is there some way to set the default window size in Visual Studio 2008? It would seem remarkably amateurish to not provide this extremely basic functionality.

View 2 RepliesI made a program that is started and running in memory and minimized to the system tray.
When it is first launched it registers global hot keys in windows.These hot keys are used for resizing the current focused window. I'm trying to use it so you can hotkey windows to resize to half the screen, a third of the screen, etc... For instance, if I have two notepads open and notepad 1 is focused and I hit Ctrl+Shift+LeftArrow it will resize notepad1 to the left and half the size of the screen. I have notepad 2 focused and Hit Ctrl+Shift+RightArrow and resize notepad2 to the right side of the screen. So, I can easily see both windows at once.Now, I can successfully get the focused window handle when the hot key is pressed. I'm stuck at this point.
I can use the Windows API call:
