Make Docking Forms & Auto Expanding Toolstrips?
Jul 1, 2009
The First Question is not that important but you know that when you click on 'Favorites' in IE 8 a form thing comes up? Well I've been trying to do that for a long time but I can't figure out how. 2: In IE8 when you expand the window and collapse the window, the toolbars expand and collapse as well. How do I make my tool bars in my Web Browser do that. 3: I actually have a third question and that's, How do you make a horizantal scroll bar on your web browser control. (just like in Internet Explorer.)

Iam trying to convert all my access database into Sql Server databases and also create vb .net application for them all. First problem I encountered was there doesn't seem to be anything like a continous form(I know there is a datagridview). So i thought i would create a flowlayoutpanel. Place lots of textboxes on it and fill each of textboxes with information form my dataset. now on to the problem. one of the textboxes is the item description field. This field can have one word or many words. I have been trying to get the textbox to auto expand in height to cover the text. Below is the code I have put together to try and get this to work correctly.
vb.net
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class Form1
Private Const EM_GETLINECOUNT As Integer = &HBA

I am trying to add a docking form to my application. I have a good program going so far but I am trying to create a minimize to dock feature in which it minimizes to another form (basically hides one and shows the other). I am working on a 23" monitor but I want this to work on all computers. So what I am looking for is a form that three buttons...left, top, right. When the left button is clicked it will dock the window to that side of the screen and fill all of the space from top to bottom with a width of 200 or so. The second button "top" will dock it to the top of the screen and expand the width to the width of the screen it is on. And a height of 200. And the third button "right" will do the same as the left but will put it on the right side. Also is it possible to reserve that side of the screen. (move all icons on the desktop from behind it to the side of it.

How could I prevent a Windows Form from automatically docking when the form gets dragged to the left or right side of the screen in Windows 7? This is a neat feature in W7, however, for my form it does not make sense (a data input form). Sometimes I drag the form to the right to read some information on a website and input them, yet, under W7 this form docks onto the right half of the screen when I do so.

I am using Visual Studio 2010 to build forms to access databases through DataGridViews.As these tables grow, it would be easier to resize the form to see the whole table.So I try to dock the DataGridView to the bottomand resize the form (The other controls are at the top of the form)This works for the width, but the height of the DataGridView does not adjust.
Public Class Form1
Dim gridHeight
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles

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.

I am trying to get a line to expand whilst the user hovers over a specific Label or Button, I thought the best way to do this would be using a however so far I cannot get the process to loop until the user stops hovering over the item.
Public Class Form1
Dim Sec As Integer
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Sec = Sec + 1
[code]....
That is pretty much what I have so far, it works however I have to keep hovering and then exiting the Label for the size to increase. I have tried various loops however most of them just end up in an infinite loop.Just to clarify, I would like the X2 dimension of the Line to increase until the user stops hovering over the form.

I have an application with three toolstrips in it, two in one line and the third one on the second line. One with the common items (copy, cut etc) and two more for graphics manipulation and internet. The problem is that no matter how I "localize" their position, sooner or later they became desorganized and lose their intended location. I have localize them with the left and top property as well as using New Point(x,y). I have also experimented with different choices for the Anchor property as well as setting the values for the location property in the designer. I even put the localization code in a menu item to see if I can locate them properly after the Form Load sub is finished. Locking them in place doesn't work either. Nothing works!
Basically I need the Common toolstrip to be the first one with Left = 3 and Top = 0. Graphics1 right after the Common toolstrip and with Top = 0 and Internet1 right bellow the Common toolstrip with Left = 0 and the Top right bellow the Common toolstrip (Top = 25). It seems as if the Common toolstrip gets to the proper position and right away jumps behind the Graphics1 on the first line. The Internet1 is Ok for now (it has messed up before)?

Title says it all. I want the ToolStrips to remain on one row, and for the user to be able to rearrange on that row but not create additional rows. I tried using SetBounds on the LocationChanged event, if the user attempted to change the Y position it just sprung right back. However, this created some visual bugs, such as the mouse always jumping back to the location and the ToolStrips jumping around randomly (while dragging one, the other would hop around randomly on the bar...)
I also tried setting the MaximumSize of the toolstripcontainer panel, but it allowed the creation of a new row anyway (in which the toolstrips were hidden.) EDIT: Its been a few months, still no answers...is this even possible?

Been doing web development for the past 2 years - so I'm a little rusty (and I just switched to VS 2010 from 2008 so maybe something new is available)... I have 4 toolstrips floated to the top of a form. And I have a picturebox below - filling the whole form. Unfortunately the picturebox is "behind" the toolstrips. I want to split the form so that the top of the form holds the 4 toolstrips and the picturebox appears below them.
What would be the proper container to put this mess into so that autosizing is the easiest? The toolstrips will most likely be "turned off and on" during the running of the app.

I have a parent MDI form and several MDI children. All have menustrips and toolstrips. The merging of the menustrips was no problem at all but I'm trying to do the same thing for the toolstrips, but now it's a no go. The toolstrips are staying separated. Is it possible to merge toolstrips?

I am trying to extend the functionality of the ToolStripPanel control (which is a panel hosting ToolStrips that can be moved during design-time, as I'm sure you know).One thing I wanted to add was a 'ToolStrips' property, which would be a collection of ToolStrips the user can edit via the collection editor in the designer. So instead of manually placing ToolStrips on the ToolStripPanel via the toolbox, the user can just use the property to add/remove (or even edit) them. This is of course similar to how you add/remove/edit TabPages in a TabControl.So, I came up with this code, which I have used successfully in the past for other controls:
Public Class cToolStripPanel
Inherits ToolStripPanel
Private _ToolStrips As New ToolStripCollection(Me)[CODE]....
The cToolStripPanel control inherits the ToolStripPanel control and adds the ToolStrips property, which is of type ToolStripCollection. That class, in turn, inherits the Collection(Of ToolStrip). In the InsertItem method, I add the 'item' ToolStrip to the cToolStripPanel. Of course I also need to override the RemoveItem / ClearItems methods but that's for another time.I am 100% sure that this code should works, at least for other controls. If you replace ToolStrip with Button (for example), I can add buttons via the property during design-time just fine, exactly the way I want it.But it seems that ToolStrips are special. When I try to Add a toolstrip (via the collection editor Add button), a null reference exception occurs. I've been trying to debug this all day and I've finally come up with a possible candidate for the problem... (I've actually used design-time debugging for the first time ever, which was pretty cool, and which showed me that the InsertItem method is not run!)
I think the problem is that the collection editor cannot create a new instance of the ToolStrip class. I can remember when trying to inherit from the ToolStrip, I was forced to add a constructor, because the ToolStrip "has more than one constructor that can be called with no arguments".Perhaps this is causing my problem? Do I (and if yes, how?) have to somehow control the creation of a new instance of the ToolStrip? Or am I completely off track and that is not what is causing the problem? I'm sure that it's a problem with the ToolStrip class, since I can use the exact same method with other controls just fine. It's only when I change the type to ToolStrip that it starts getting angry at me....

This is, at least for me, most bizarre Visual Studio 2010 behavior ever. I'm working on MVC3 project, I copied a line of code from another project (VS2010 also, MVC1 if it matters) which looks like this: [Code] Now, if I type 1.2, it's fine, nothing happens, but if I type 1.12 it is expanded to 1.1200000000000001. Both target_height and height are integers. Why does one Visual Studio display 1.1 while other expands it to 1.1000000000000001? What is going on?

[code]i want to extend the window width everytime i expand the expander control to the right.when i run the above quoted xaml and expand the expander control after the build, everything works like expected, but as soon as i manually resize the window, the content of the expander control will expand into the existing area to the left. how can i change this behaviour, so that the window will extend its width to the right side and the content will end up in that new area?

I am developing a WinForm application using VB.NET (I am fluent in C# as well, so post in whatever language) and have run into some trouble. I have an image on my form that I would like to expand when clicked on. I have all that logic set, but I want that when it expands, the user has to click on an 'X' in the upper right corner of the PictureBox to close the expanded image. While the image is being displayed, I don't want the user to be able to interact with the rest of the UI on the form.
Basically I need something along the lines of (pardon me for switching to HTML but I know this works there) creating a div that covers the whole screen, making it opaque, putting another div on top of that, and then putting the image and the 'X' button on top of that. I have tried using opaque forms (didn't work), and panels with a transparent backcolor (didn't work either). I've resorted to taking a screenshot of the form, setting it as the image of a PictureBox, and putting the PictureBox on top of that. However, that seems like way to much overkill.
My current layout is MainForm -> Dynamically create new Form and add it to Main Form -> Add PictureBox to Dynamic Form and set its image to be a screenshot of MainForm -> Add a PictureBox on top of that PictureBox and set its image to the expanded image that I want
