Location Of DOS Window Relative To Form1?
Mar 31, 2010
I am calling a program that runs in DOS screen.Is it possible to position this screen to always open exactly same cordinates relative to my FORM1 screen?Or is it possible to run the FORM1 to start at same screen cordinates all the time?
The Code:
Sub Install1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Install1.Click
instance = Process.Start(Application.StartupPath & "Driver.exe")
instance.WaitForExit()
End Sub

How can I get x and y coordinates of a control's location on a form relative to the Screens Top Left corner?
For example, if I have 3 labels on a form and I want label2 and label3 to display the x and y of label1 relative to the screens top and left corner.
When running the app, as the form's possition is changed label 2 and 3 update the coordinate of Label1's possition relative to the top left of the screen.

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.

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.

I have a control on a form - I need to know the coordinates of that control relative to the FORM.
Now before I get six replies saying, "Control.Location DUH!!" that only works when the control's parent IS the form. What if the control is nested inside one or more container controls?
Could I write a routine that crawls up all parent containers until I reach the form calculating each offset as I go? Sure! But this extremely crude operation seems clunky to me - What I'm looking for is something a little cleaner.
So far the closest I've been able to come is this:
Dim ClientPoint As Point = Ctrl.PointToScreen(Ctrl.Location)
Dim LocationLeft As Integer = (ClientPoint.X - Ctrl.ParentForm.Left) - Ctrl.Left
Dim LocationTop As Integer = (ClientPoint.Y - Ctrl.ParentForm.Top) - Ctrl.Top
The problem with the above code is: It does NOT take the Form's border or Titlebar into consideration... so this calculated location would be off slightly depending on what kind of border the form has.

I'm having trouble setting a form's location in the load event.
config_set = File.ReadDatabaseKey(Public_Variables.settings_radar, _
"Window Position X", Public_Variables.config, Public_Variables.config_path, 5)
If Misc.GetContainsOnlyNumbers(config_set) Then
Me.Location.X = CInt(config_set)
End If

I have 2 forms. I am calling form2 from a button click in form1. I want through the button click to set the location of form2 by setting X,Y cordinates. I have tried this but nothing happens:
form2.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(100, 15)
form2.Show()

I'm trying to animate my window's location. I have a window, and when I click on my button, I want the window to move smoothly 100px from it's current location.
Example:
Private Sub minimize_button_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles minimize_button.Click
Dim windowsize as integer = window1.top
windowsize = windowsize - 100
End Sub
But with XAML animation. I have no idea how to make this animation in this type of scenario.

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.

Using VB 2008:Situation: A Form1.BackgroundWorker calls a Form1.subroutine. That sub starts a Form1.Timer with Me.tmrOK_BlinkForm.Enabled = True...fires Timer code in event: Public Shared Sub tmrOK_BlinkForm_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tmrOK_BlinkForm.Tick
Form3.Visible = True
Form3.Label1.Text = gNowButtonDispText
Form3.BackColor = Color.White
Form3.Refresh()
[Code]...
There must be a way to do this, I just need the correct BackgroundWorker Syntax send Stop commad to Form1.Timer from Form3.Click_event...all inside a Form1.BackgroundWorker thread started in Form1.

On both items I have set the [copy to output directory] property to Copy Always.The HTML document starts HTML page and IE is showing the text as expected , but the picture does not appear.I use click once deployment to deliver the system. The HTML documents and picture is located on the user computer after the deployment. How do I add path to a location in a win program with pictures used in a HTML document? What is the correct setting of [ build action ] parameter of these items?

I have a button on my webpage that runs some javascript code:
alert("Will refresh now");
window.location.reload(true);
It works in all the browsers we've tested it in.But when I display that webpage inside my vb.net executable (in a WebBrowser control)... the "refresh" code is definitely run, but it just clears the screen.

I need to be able to start with Form1, move to LoginForm, then back to Form1 taking 2 variables and the "values" they have in the LoginForm back to Form1 and using the variables. I start with the main form (Form1) and have the user enter some information. Once they click OK I have the LoginForm open. After they enter their credentials I will check to make sure they are legal users, then go back to Form1 (here is where I need to take the Username and Password with me) to log onto a server using the same credentails from the login form.
