Interface And Graphics :: Repositioning The Controls In Panel2 Regardless Of Which Form Is Loaded?
Aug 15, 2011
I have a Main form that has a split container in it. In Panel1 there is a treeview control. Panel2 is initally blank when Main loads. Upon clicking on one of the nodes in the treeview a form will load in panel2 and adjust the location of the controls based on the size of panel2. The controls are all in a panel themselves so that I am only moving a single object.
Moving the controls when the form in panel2 initially loads works great. But if the size of the Main for changes then the only way to get the controls to reposition is to click on the treeview and reload the form in panel 2.Code for the tree.
Code:
Private Sub TreeView1_NodeMouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.NodeMouseClick
Me.SplitContainer1.Panel2.Controls.Clear()
[code]....
I tried to with code in the panel2_resize bit i got an error as soon as I clicked on the treeview as i did not know which form was currently loaded. What would be a method to accomplish repositioning the controls in panel2 regardless of which form is loaded?

I have a form containing two panels. In both panels there are two labels and textboxes. I set the 'Center In Form' property of the labels and textboxes to 'Horizontally' and 'Vertically' in design time respectively. But as the form is resizable, when the size of the form is increased or decreased at runtime the controls are no longer center aligned in the panels. How can I handle this problem (provided th

we all know how to dock or anchor controls so that they resize themselves accordingly when a form is resized. It works fine till we have rows of controls on left and right size of the form. But what if have three columns (Columns as in visual sense. I'm not talking about any column control containing other controls) of controls? For example a form having a bunch of controls in the left side, a bunch in the middle and a bunch in the right. There may be a few more bunches in the middle. Now while resizing the form, I want the controls to resize accordingly as well as change their positions to make space for the previous bunch of controls that are resizing.I mean, while the user increases the form size horizontally, the controls of the second bunch should resize and at the same time they should move right because the controls of the first bunch are increasing horizontally too. When the user decreases the form size horizontally the same thing should occur in the reverse order.I can manage it somehow using nested splitcontainers but that's too cumbersome. I would like to know if there's some better way to achieve it, like setting some property etc.?

I am a VB6 programmer, and I have been trying to learn VB 2008. I'm making a web browser, which is going quite well... but I am having problems with my tabs.
1. When I load it automatically opens a new tab... but instead of opening it 1 it opens 2 new tabs.
2. I don't know how to get the address bar to alter which ever tab is loaded and not just the first one. Here is my tab code.

I am trying to verify that an image has been loaded into the picturebox1. I am loading the image from the web and need to verify it has arrived before I can save it to disk. If I save it to soon I will save nothing and that will crash the app. I have tried to use 'if PictureBox1.image = nothing then' ... 'End If', but that isn't a valid check. I can obviously not check picturebox1.image if it is empty or has an image.
So the question is, how do I verify that the file has finished loading?

I have inserted a form into my project that a friend sent over. The form works but if I add more controls to it they are not displaying.
The controls are all there in the <form>.designer.vb file but are simply not displaying when I run the form.
I have looked around the net but can find no reference to a similiar problem.

I'm working on a design project where I have to use a Graphical User Interface that contains a drag and drop form. It consists of having a window dropped on a wall. Both of them are images to scale. I would like to know what kind of code I would have to use to show the x and y coordinates of one of the points of my window when dragged so when I drop it, I'm dropping in it on the desired coordinate of the wall.

I'm having some problems with custom controls and anchors today. I made a custom control containing a picture box and a vertical scroll bar. When I adjust the form the custom control outer area (the blank part) will adjust to the size of the form but the picture box and scroll bar do not. I have the picture box anchored to all sides and the vertical scroll bar anchored to the right side. They just will not adjust with the control when it is resized on the form.

I have a project running in my old computer. It has panels,textboxes,labels etc. It occupies the full screen when running.I bought a new computer with a widescreen format. When I run this project it only occupies 2/3 of the screen.
What properties of the controls must I use so that I can run this program in any size computer and still occupy the full screen i.e the size is proportionately resized depending on screen size.

I don't know the best way to use multiple forms in VB, but I have created a problem and I'm not sure where it came from or how to fix it.
Background: I start the program at Sub Main. This is the main function:
Code:
Module modFunctions
Dim frmD As frmDAQ
Dim frmT As frmTrendView

it works, but I don't want to have to change the entire project.

The project I'm working on (the same one I'm always asking about) has tabs as the main navigation. I've made some User Controls to sit above the tabs in an attempt to reduce the number of overall controls that are being used (to great success). Now, however, there's one control that overlaps some controls on a tab that are obscured by my newest UControl and I want to make the background transparent.I've seen that AtmaWeapon keeps pointing people to this page detailing how to make the background transparent. That's great and it worked for me. All I did was create the
Code:Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() AsSystem.Windows.Forms.CreateParamsand it worked the way I wanted. Yay. I did write the rest of it too as well as part from a post I saw on the msdn forums, but they weren't needed to get the effect I wanted.However, I've got a number of PictureBoxes on this UControl that should have a BorderStyle of "Fixed3D". However, when this UControl is repainted the borderstyle doesn't reflect this (Note to self: don't .Refresh() a control inside its own .Paint() event ). This doesn't happen the FIRST time they become visible, but only when they've shown up and are made to redraw (like toggling visibility). If the border changes programmatically they look fine

I'm trying to figure out how to make dragable controls like the ones in paint.net. see the attachment. they look like forms kind of because they have the red x at the top like a form does, but it kind of looks like a custom control too. Is it possible to make these types of controls in VB.Net 2008.

If I have a control, in this case a button, can I restrict the area it considers valid for text?
In the attached image, the left and right arrows are custom drawn in the paint even, I also have a scroll timer that scrolls the text if the length exceeds the buttons width as measured by Graphics.MeasureString.
I want to restrict the text from red line to red line so when the text scrolls it does not interfere with the arrow indicators, can the text area be overridden to some custom region?

I am using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express and making a Webform. I want to arrange my labels and drop down listboxes in a table to keep them together on the form in a neatly manner. If I use the 'ToolBox' on the side and drag a HTML table to the workspace I get a nicely formatted table with 3 rows and 3 columns. And I can drag and drop my labels/listboxes into these columns and all is fine and good.
If I use the 'ToolBox' and drag a ASP.Net table to the workspace it starts as just a boarder with '###' inside of it, which I cannot drap and drop controls into. I'm not sure how to place controls into it. I figured out that you can add the Rows - then Columns in the properties window, but that just adds more cells which have the '###' in them. I can make it work with the HTML table, but I just want to know if I can do the same with the ASP.net table.

I have been given a project to update software written in Visual Basic. The software and some files are enclosed in a folder and was written 3 years ago. I have no clue what to do. All I have been asked to include more controls. The user interface allows user to select three processes by clicking on the buttons on user interface. The new requirements is to add two more buttons. There is not much information so I have to use only the resources available. When I tried to open the project, visual studio prompted to convert the project so its compatible with current version. I could open the project but dont know what to do from there. Please guide me towards the right direction. If the project folder is required please advise me how to attach it too.

I have a master form which uses the SplitContainer control. The PANEL1 of the split carries the MenuStrip and Panel2 is used to call related external forms
Code (refer below): Function ResetSplitContainerPanel2 clears the Panel2 and loads the new form using the SetFormAttributesToLoadInPanel2
Issue: Although SettingSplitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Clear() clears the Panel2 but the form still maintains the form in the editable mode. If I call the same form again, I can see the values which I typed earlier
Output Expected: On Load of new form, the previous loaded form in PANEL2 should be disposed completely
Private Sub ResetSplitContainerPanel2()
SettingSplitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Clear()
End Sub
Private Function SetFormAttributesToLoadInPanel2(ByVal formNameToChange As Form) As Boolean
On Error GoTo errHandler
[Code] .....
ErrHandler:
MsgBox("Error Description: " & Err.Description, vbOKOnly, "Error")
SetFormAttributesToLoadInPanel2 = True
Exit Function
End Function

As Autodesk is going to discontinue VBA for their Inventor product in the near future I have been looking at other ways to run VB.NET in Inventor. To date it doesn't look like VSTA will be the replacement. Automation from an External VB.NET app is certainly possible, but leaves something to be desired for speed and integration. Compiled Add Ins are the Cadillac of choice but can be a royal pain to debug and develop. Autodesk now provides a lightweight VB.NET script interface called iLogic. It's main purpose is to allow extreme customization of Solid Modeling parts. The code actually resides inside the Part Model file.

how to maximize my form window and for example my list view, tool strip container etc etc, maximize with the form window. I would just create the form to my monitor 1440x900 but this will be used on several computers all with different monitor size. What I'm looking for is a quick easy way of doing instead of setting each one up separately.

I am using a MDI form and child forms. Now I don't like the standard back colour of mdi form so I got code on the net which paints a gradient colour to the mdi. So far it is working okay.Now the problem is when I load a child form or close it or do a similar activity then it causes flicker in the mdi background. This gets pretty annoying at times and you see the background flicker.

I've got a form with no borders, and I am wondering how a user would be able to move this form around. I would like it to be moved the same way a form would move by left-clicking and holding the top border. I know that's a little vague, so if you need any more info feel free to ask...

I have a Visual Studio 2005 VB project that creates a fairly simple form containing three text boxes with corresponding labels. In terms of property settings I have AutoSize set to True, AutoSizeMode set to GrowAndShrink, SizeGripStyle set to Show, and WindowState set to Maximized.
I'd like the user to be able to grow and shrink this form using the resize grip that appears in the bottom right corner. When the application starts, it starts maximized, which is what I want, and it has the typical minimize, restore down, and close buttons in the upper right corner.
I can use restore down to reduce its size, and once that's done I can use the resize grip to make the form larger, but the resize grip will not allow me to make the form smaller. Changing WindowState to Normal doesn't change this behavior.
