I have a custom control label that I am trying to give all the same properties and functionality to as a regular label. I can change the text, font, and assign the auto size property. However, I cannot figure out a way to make the control re-size correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions or code examples of a custom control being re-sized to fill the entire control?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a label control transparent over a Panel control.However by setting the background colour of the label to Transparent, it actually sees right through to the form itself, not the panel as intended.
As an example we use a panel with a background as white, we make the label transparent, however it gets the form�s colour as blue.However, we are using a custom panel control and need the label to be transparent over the panel and not see the forms background.

I'm starting work updating an UI for one of my company's applications and I'm running into a sticky issue. The parent control contains several panels, each of which can be turned on or off depending on user input.
The final panel in the user control contains another user control which gets resizes according to a toggle switch. Essentially, it "opens" up more information.
While the child control (ChildControl) is docked to Fill inside the parent control (ParentControl), when I add height to ChildControl I can't get ParentControl's height to get updated as well. Currently I'm handling the ChildControl.Layout event in ParentControl but I can't seem to reach that code. To resize ChildControl, I'm calling Me.Height += 200 in ChildControl.vb.

View 2 RepliesI'm currently making one program in Visual Basic 2010 , and there are like 5 labels, and I want them to get bigger (bigger font size) when I put my mouse on them, and to get back to normal when I move my mouse from them (it gives pretty cool effect) now, changing Height and Width didn't do the thing. Then I tried to directly change their font size using label.font.size += 10 but it says that font size is read only...I also tried to bypass that by using dim a = label.font.size a += 10 but when I do that it absolouletly does nothing...
View 7 RepliesI'm currently very far into a project which has taken me several months. I have suddenly hit a snag. I have 6 Aboutboxes and of course 1 Form and Splashscreen.On the splash screen I have some lables and I can't seem to edit them, its like they don't exist, but there deffintly there.Another problem is that I cant resize the Form, and also 2 of the aboutboxes, won't resize either. I can resize it by holding shift + arrow, but this is highly unpractical and unnecessary, since it worked perfectly before.

This works on most windows except for ones that are customized. Maximizing the window will maximize the window to bounds of the actual screen bounds instead of the panel1 bounds. Code works fine with normal windows but not with this one. (Spotify Window.)

I have been scouring for examples to give me some idea on what I need to do to create a skinable scrollbar. The only thing close that seems to work like I need is Cool Scrollbar The problem I am running into is on the designer...when I move it, resize it, or change the direction of the control (ScrollbarLayout), it seems to want to re-name the class the item is an object of from CBar to cbar.CBar. Once I position and align it properly to check, I can go through the Form1.Designer and simply remove the cbar. and get no errors. When I run the program, it is fine, so this is telling me that there is something wrong with the movement in the class...

After using a form as a replacement for MessageBox I do have a need to make it automatically adjust its size to fit its contents, is there any rule out there that we need to abide to when it comes to sizing the form acting as MessageBox?
I am thinking I could use a panel that will auto-resize and just resize the form according to the size of the panel but I am not sure that will work as I haven't tried it yet.
I have been using vb6 for a while, I am following a tutorial by MS to develop a basic application and a simple task cannot be completed for whatever reasons! The tutorial asks to drag the label object from the toolbox and drop in the tab control container. Then, go to the label size property and adjust the size to some different dimansion. Basic stuff, right? It won't let me do it! After I enter the new dimensions (which by the way are not large or very small), the label size (both width and height) resets back to its original dimensions! I have the vb.net sp1 installed.

Now when user move the splitter the user control size is changes as it is dock fill but the inner controls used in that user control looks like fixed in a single place .It are not moving nor resizing .How to do this .Is there any property to perform thisI already know about anchor property but sometimes it causes overlapping of controls so I can not use it.

I am using custom textboxes and I need to be able to set the Text on txb1 based on the Text of txb2. I have simplied my code to the following:
Public Class customtextbox
Inherits TextBox
Public Event ControlReset()
[Code]....
So, when txb1 looses focus, if its Text is "fried", then it sets off txb2's ProcessAlert function. I had tried to change the value of txb2 Text in ProcessAlert function, but didnt work, so I tried to get it to raise an event instead, which then tries to set the Text property. However I still cant set txb2's Text property. The Text property seems to be set for the duration of the "life" of the Event handler. When I step through the forms controls within the Event handler, the changed Text value is there, but not outside of the Event handler.
