In earlier editions of visual basic I could move the form across the page by changing left in the properties window. VB 9.0 doesnt have that in the window properties window. I can set start position to manual but it wont drag and drop how do I move a form window in the design mode? added by TNT 1/24/09 I went back and checked VB5 the left and top positions were settable but only located the form during run time.
View 1 RepliesSimply enough, I closed a design window, and now I can't reopen it.Whenever I click on the form in the Solution Explorer, there is no option to show the design view, yet I know that there is one.When I go to the folder where the files are stored, there is a file there is supposedly the design of the form I closed, but when I open it, all that appears is another window of code.

how to add a MainMenu to a form in VB 2008 Express using the design window. I only see MenuStrip in the toolbox. I can add a MainMenu programatically, but not visually. The reason I need a MainMenu and not a MenuStrip is for owner-drawing. None of the MenuStrip items seem to have an OwnerDraw property.
View 9 RepliesMy page has a drop down whose values are dynamically populated. Based on which item is selected, a number of TextBoxes are dynamically created during runtime.The user then fills in information into the textboxes and clicks a submit button.After postback from the submit button, I need to again dynamically create the TextBoxes during Page_Init (BEFORE LoadViewState) so that after the ViewState loads, my Button_Click event can save/do whatever with the user input. PROBLEM is, I cannot recreate the textboxes based on the selection in the dropdown, because the dropdown hasn't been "selected" yet by LoadViewState.SO, how can I read from the view state, create my textboxes, then let the viewstate populate the textboxes, and then the Button_Click will use the values??The one thing I've attempted is to override the LoadViewState function so that I can read from the view state, create the boxes, and then load the viewstate again. This did NOT work, because the debugger never seemed to hit my overridden function.[code]

For example loading 2 text boxs and 2 labels.

I was wondering if there is an addon, or position controls for my website. I hate having to code the location of a button for example.
Isn't there a way to just move it freely around the form as you do in Visual basic or C# for example?
I have a form where I need to place some labels dinamically. Some of the label's height needs to change depending on the string size that will populate the label's text. So what I need to do is position the labels one below the other, after the text has been populated and the height has been set.

View 2 RepliesI have a system that has a collection of picture boxes.Each picture box allows you to place pointers(Custom control derived from label) on the image, when saved I store the X/Y for the pointers along with other information relevant to the pointers in a database.(See attached image)This way the chart can be reloaded and the pointers be moved or edited.This all works great until I resize a chart, the calculated percentage of size in/decrease often results in a float like in the following example. [code] I position the pointers by top and left, which only accepts integer, the rounding results in significant drift over multiple resizes.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to position a small form that will have its top left edge exactly lined up with the bottom left edge of a label. But I am finding this to be impossible to accomplish because of some magical hidden offset that exists somewhere ... I don't know where.
So here's what I got, if I can manage to pilfer out only the relative portions... For the sake of simplicity, I'll focus only on the horizontal positioning below:
Dim FrameSize As Size
Dim TargetHorzFramePos as Single
FrameSize = SystemInformation.FrameBorderSize

I have a series of tabs, each containing a series programatically generated PictureBoxes that are all 480x360. The TabControl is anchored to all 4 edges of the form, so it always takes up the whole area.
I would like the PictureBoxes to behave similarly to how images behave when floated in HTML/CSS. So if I have 5 pictures and the window is only ~900 wide then I will have 3 rows, 2 in the first 2 and 1 in the last. But if the window is then expanded to ~1500 then I get 2 rows - 3 on the first and 2 on the last.
What is the simplest way to achieve this? Is there a built in way?I am planning on repositioning the pictures when SizeChanged fires on the TabControl, or when the selected tab changes.

View 19 RepliesI am adding a series of RadioButtons to a GroupBox programatically. By default they are all placed on top of each other. So I use a bit of math to position them all nicely and then resize the GroupBox.
However I notice that the GroupBox has an AutoSize property, but it doesn't seem to be resizing as controls are added.
Is there a better way to position my radio buttons than to specify each one programatically? I mean, can't this stuff be handled automatically by the framework?
I seem to have reached a limit on the size of the form. I cannot make the form longer and I need to add more fields. Is there a limit on how many fields can be included in a form?
View 1 RepliesI am a biologist and I have a collection of dive data. It is very simple data...just time and depth (m). However, from each data set, I need to retrieve the onset of the dive, onset of the bottom phase, length of dive, etc. For years I have been finding these points through visual inspection of the data. It is extremely tedious and in know way efficient. I am interested in expediting this whole process and am more than willing to learn VB...but only IF it is the best approach for this application.I have attached two dives worth of data, so we can see what the data looks like. Each data set can contain from 1 to 8 hours worth of data.

View 2 RepliesLaunch a dialogue window from the main form, and then another dialogue window from that dialogue window. If you close the second dialogue window and call dispose the main form vanishes under any other open windows. This doesn't happen by closing a dialogue window normally, but I am attempting (rightly or wrongly) to stop memory useage creeping up by disposing of it.
So, the question is - what method can be employed to maintain the position of the windows?
