I have a lot of forms that get placed in specific locations at run time. I need to disable relocating these forms, but I would like to keep the borders and titlebar.
I have tried jmc's codebank submission called "immobilise" but did not work for me, forms were still draggable (could be my mis_use, but no errors were thrown)If this isn't doable, is there a way to hide only the titlebar, but maintain the 3D blue borders all around?
I have a MDI container form with menustrip, toolstrip and statusstrip on it. The backcolor of these items is black. The toolstrip and statusstrip show ugly white borders around them which I want to get rid of but there seems to be no such property like bordercolor or anything where I could change them.

View 5 RepliesI'm modifying an existing form in Visual Basic 2010 Express and attempting to work out some small kinks I've noticed. The one that I'm having an issue with is getting the form to completely fill the screen without the border going off screen. When I set the form's Size values at W:1024,H:768 the page always opens a little off. I tried setting the size a little smaller, W:1020,H:764, and it still does not perfectly fill the screen. Does the Size value include the border pixels or are the border pixels added to the form's Size value? Is there another value somewhere that could be affecting this?
View 5 RepliesI've got this little 'Sticky Notes' type of application and the form I have is a borderless, taskbarless form and for Windows 2000 compatability I'm using VS 2008 and targeting the 2.0 framework. One of the hurdles I have is that in XP, Vista & 7 when you click the Show Desktop button all of my note's windows get minimized and without a taskbar icon, it's not easy to get them back (at least not for a normal user) & I'm looking for a way to either right after the windows minimize I just have them all show again or if I can skip the minimizing message in the wndproc altogether that'd be great.
I've put together a test app that'll show the messages in a listbox for the form, but I'm not sure how to go about skipping sending the message to the form's base class. Here's a snippet, listMessages is the listbox on the form:
Private Const WmSize As Integer = 5
Private Const SizeRestored As Integer = 0
Private Const SizeMinimized As Integer = 1

I am making a webbrowser,how to prevent my browser from opening new IE windows. Because what happens is, there are some links that will open new windows and therefore IE comes in place because it is set as default windows browser which I really don't want because my browser looks really bad if it opens links in another webbrowser.I want it to be just a basic browser, it has only one window, and it should navigate within that window. This is because the browser is integrated in a bigger application only for some website applications that are related to this main application.I am using VB.net 2008 Express Edition?

View 2 RepliesI have a main form called frmMain from which all other forms and actions are launched. In the menu bar on frmMain there is a text box where the user can enter an inventory item number. This shows a new instance of frmBundleSearch. This frmBundleSearch may get multiple new instances opened at a time. What I would like to see is the frmMain in the taskbar separate from the frmBundleSearch when it has enough open instances to begin stacking in the taskbar. Right now, when I debug, when the taskbar starts stacking the application's forms, all of them are in the same stack, so right-click and "Close All" nukes the whole app. Is it possible to keep them separated?

View 3 RepliesI have a windows application that I have created using Visual Basic 2005. I am a new user and have learned a few things, but quite an amateur!

The form needs to be printed by clicking a Print Form Button on the form.Is this possible with VB 2005. i noticed a PowerPacks out there, but when I downloaded the tab does not appear on the VB 2005 Express Edition I am using.
