Here is an image: As you can see, i am having problems removing the coloration of the background application window. How can i make that transparent without affecting the image? My second question is, how can i dock my application window to the right hand side of the screen?
View 5 RepliesThe 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.)

View 1 RepliesIs there anyway to "dock" a form to the desktop? I have a "child" form that will display info when the main form loads. This form is not meant for the User to interact with it. When I load the form and other windows are open, it displays over those windows until I minimize and then restore the windows. So I want to be able to dock it to the desktop.

Kinda like how Microsoft Office Professional.. You can open a help file and it docks to the right of the screen and moves Word to the left of it.I want to do this so that any program opened will show just under my program.

View 4 RepliesI use a splitcontainer in my programme, along with a couple of mdi-childs. I've got a problem now: The splitcontainer is actually in my main form, which is a mdi-container itself. Whenever I try to use mdi-childs, the panel of the splitcontainer is in front of it. Also I have problems with docking the mdi-child into the panel of the splitcontainer.

View 1 RepliesI have a Tabcontrol, and when the program loads it adds a tab. Inside this tab goes a panel (url, back, etc buttons to be added to it) and a webbrowser control.Problem is the panel docks to the top and when you fill the webrowser control the webbrowser goes behind the panel and not under it so the top is cut off.[code]Or anyone know how to remove the tabcontrol from the tabpages so theres a gap in-between to input this panel.
View 4 RepliesI 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.
View 3 RepliesHow 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.

View 11 RepliesI want my form to never dissapear unless instructed to do so by code. I build a desktop gadget that stays there even when multiple other windows are open, but if the "Show Desktop" button is clicked on the taskbar it will dissapear completely (until another window, whatever that might be, is opened, in which case it pops up again).Take Windows Gadgets as an example. If you click "show desktop" they do not dissapear, they are stuck to the desktop and are constant, and only dissapear when you click the exit button on the gadget. Is there a similar method i can implement for my own form so that it never dissapears?
