IDE :: Window State Resizes When Loading Form?
Jun 15, 2010
When loading the form then my windows state is maximized (properties--windows state--maximized). After loading the form then if I press taskbar menu top(maximise button is disabled and minimize button is disabled on form) then size of form is changing. I have used screen.width,and height to restore when form resizes but still for the first time of form loading it moves and set to the boundaries. Atleast once also it should not move. How to stop changing the windows state from moving when we click task bar. Again in form properties -- application -- I have checked -- make single instance application. When if again any other path same form is opened. Then also it resizes to other state.

I have an MDI Form that contains an MDI Child form. On this child form is a flexgrid. When the user double clicks on a row in the flexgrid this loads another MDI Child form. I have set the following properties on the second child form:
FormBorderStyle = FixedDialog
MaximizeBox = False
MinimizeBox = False
StartPosition = CenterScreen
WindowState = Normal
The problem is that if the first MDI child form is in a maximized state and the user double clicks on the flex grid, the second child form loads in a maximized state too! How can I stop this?

If you have ever noticed in the Task Manager, when you right-click on the running task, you have many options which include 'Minimize' and 'Maximize'. Is there anyway to do achieve this in vb?

I have a small program that works just fine on my desktop (23 inch monitor). I programmed it on this computer as well. My laptop (17 inch monitor) works fine also, however, on a 15 inch monitor the picturebox's are off and not where they were when I programmed it. Also, some forms you can not see the entire form and the bottom is cut off.

For some reason, a certain Form in my project will change it's size all on it's own right after I call it. It's usually with small forms in the one I'm having a problem with is 95x25 pixels. The only thing on it is a Label with some text in the middle and this code
Public Class MessageForm
Private Time As Integer = 25
Private Sub fadeTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles fadeTimer.Tick
Time -= 1
[Code] .....
As you can see the Form is meant to be a small pop-up that disappears on its own, like a balloon tip. Anyways I just added it to my project 5 minutes ago and as soon as I tested it out by displaying it with Form.Show(), it randomly changed to 123 by something else during runtime. I checked all the Form properties for any kind of resize properties and only found AutoScaleMode which was set on font, but set on None made no difference. Like I said I just added this form and have no code affecting it whatsoever in my entire project except for Form.Show and the code on that form. For the moment I'm just resizing the form on it's own Load event, and that seems to work, but I'd like to know what is causing this random form resize.

I want the ability to auto stretch the listview control column when the form gets resized in vb.net 2008 These are the properties I am mentioning for the ListView now :
ListView1.View = View.Details
'ListView1.GridLines = True
ListView1.FullRowSelect = True
[code]....
I am increasing the width of control and not columns as I wanted. I am unable to find anything else than width.

Is there any way to save a form window state including all of the controls etc that it has on it in their current state? I'm having to write long functions for each control just to save and reload from a config file, so I'm spending more time on user saved settings than on my actual project.

If I type this code (VB.net 2003):
Dim myDialog As frmTestDialog
myDialog = New frmTestDialog
myDialog.Show()
you'd expect some dialog window to appear in a non-modal state. For some reason, this isn't the case with a program I am working on. Most of the dialogs use ShowDialog() to open them, and one uses Show(). The second I try to show another non-modal dialog, the dialog appears in a modal state. Another strange thing is, before I show the dialog, there is code to shift the dialog location to centre it on the main form - this isn't executed either: the dialog appears at 0,0.
My usual trend is to blame myself for errors (usually the case), then I blame the software; I have checked every single line of code (including the generated code), and it all checks out - the dialog should be non-modal. But ... it's not. I've come across other errors in VB.net 2003; is this another instance?
I'll try creating a new dialog and displaying this non-modal, and see what happens. If it works, I can just transplant the code but this shouldn't be happening, just like if I go to a shop, ask for a cola, I expect a cola not a Chinese panda; more annoying, I return the panda, ask for a cola, and they give me the panda back do loop until I give up The system does using threading, but none of that code connects to the display dialog routines all dialogs are opened with more-or-less the above code (a few have simple validation routines).

I want to maximize my mdi child automatically by setting WindowState to Maximize. But it looks like this.. why is this happening? but if I restore it and maximize it again its body now occupies the mdiparent space. To aim is not enough. You must hit.

I'm having a lot of trouble with the windows in my application to size correctly. As a sample, I have a container form (mdi parent), with in which is Form1 (with a datagrid) and a form that is only called when a cell in the datagrid is double clicked. I want Form1 to always be maximized so I set the properties as follows:
Windowstate = Maximized
FormBorderStyle = None
AutoSize = False
MaximizeBox = False
MinimizeBox = False
So when I maximize the parent window, Form1 maximizes and shrinks correctly... but when I double click on the gridview and the popup form comes up, several things happen:
1. Form1 (in the background) goes back to normal size (not maximized)
2. If I click on Form1 (when the Popup form is on the screen) the form disappears into the background...
What I need to happen is for Form1 to always stay maximized, no matter what happens on the screen, and when the pop up form is on the screen, I should not be able to click on any form in the background, and it should never disappear into the background itself.

recommend the cleanest way to save / restore a winform's location and state? For some time now I've been using a method similiar to what I posted below (based on the CodeProject: [URL]..The problem with this method is that when the form loads, it is drawn in an initial location, then moved / maximized afterwards. The effect creates somewhat of an eye sore watching the window draw, then quickly update... but in Vista it is a lot more obvious.
What I would like to do is restore a form to it's previously saved location / state invisible to the user, then show it once it's where it needs to be. Or, just know of the ideal way this is supposed to be done - specifically in Vista.

I have a Main form, called Main.vb, that is a Parent Form. I have another form called Notes.vb. Inside Main.vb I have a toolstrip with a button on it called Notes. I'm wanting to change the checked status of the Button to either True when the Notes.vb window is open inside the parent or to false when it is close. Is this possible?

I found that the overlay function was working fine. However, it seems that if I use the overlay function while reading an image from a stream, that it would enlarge the picture before overlaying it.
ie:
overlay = New Bitmap(stream)
g.DrawImage(overlay, 0, 0)
Seems to enlarge the image before overlaying it, whereas this:
overlay = New Bitmap(My.Resources.Pic)
g.DrawImage(overlay, 0, 0)
Seems to overlay the image fine.
What could be the reason for this?

Has any one experienced this. Never seen it before. Anchoring a Toolstrip Left,Top,Right will resize the strip with out the option of stepping back and undoing it. Forces rolling back the application. Toolstrip is docked at the bottom.
