I have a toolbar that is always on the top (topmost = true) but when i maximize other programs the top of their windows is hidden behind it. I want them to maximize BENEATH my toolbar so i can close/minimize them etc... Like an upside down taskbar, literally changing the screen working area...

I have a situation where I am opening a SaveFileDialog box but it opens underneath my form instead of over it. This is causing my users some confusion. Does anyone know of a way to force that dialog box to be topmost at all times?
View 12 Replieshow to maximize my form window and for example my list view, tool strip container etc etc, maximize with the form window. I would just create the form to my monitor 1440x900 but this will be used on several computers all with different monitor size. What I'm looking for is a quick easy way of doing instead of setting each one up separately.
View 1 RepliesI have a normal form (FormBorderStyle = Sizeable). When the user maximizes the form, the form's border should disappear and fully cover the screen. Like so:
vb
Private Sub frmVideo_SizeChanged(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.SizeChanged
If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized Then
'Remove border
Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
'Bring to front
Me.TopMost = True
End If
End Sub
Problem is, when the form gets maximized and border changed to None, the form doesn't cover the whole screen. The form gets the same height as when it is maximized with a titlebar on top. So, the form is about 20 pixels too short, leaving most of the Windows taskbar uncovered. So, apparently, if the FormBorderStyle changes after the form has maximized, the change in size is not corrected. How do I change a form's size when it's maximized or how do I change the FormBorderStyle before maximization is finished?
Currently I have a listbox on a VB 2010 project and I have hooked a ContextMenuStrip to it. Everything works from here but what I want it to do is select the item underneath the mouse when i right click. This would make it so i wouldn't have to left click the item then right click to get to the menu.
View 5 RepliesAny way to remove this problem I have in VB2010. I've done a picture box, where you can draw lines by clicking with your mouse. There is a label running along with the mouse pointer, but every time the cursor moves over the line, the label removes the line under it. I've tried setting transparent background to the label.
View 5 RepliesHow would I go about finding a string of text in a text file then underneath that string of text inserting my own string? So far I have this which isn't working:
Dim MyFile() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(filePath)
Dim MySW As New System.IO.StreamWriter(filePath, False)
Dim Mytempstring As String
Dim StoreInd As String
[Code] .....
How do I draw lines like these ones at top (underneath the white box) and bottom (above the buttons) - preferably in the GUI?
View 6 RepliesI recently entered a VB.NET class in my school. I suddenly had an interest in it, and I decided to make something on my own. Right now, we're just working on how to switch from one form to one form [E-Z stuff, me.hide and then *formname*.show] decided to install the 2010 .NET program, and I wanted to make my own web browser. Now I'm stuck on it. e everything working, except a few minor kinks. I wanted to know how the form can be maximized once it has been opened, and, if I press the enter key, I want the URL to be what was in the text box.
Public Class frmShank
rivate Sub btnBack_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnBack.Click
[code].....
What i have done is place a webbrowser control on a form, when i maximize the form the webbrowser stays the same size it doesn't maximize with the parent form, i can't figure out how to do this

View 1 RepliesI have an application which simply displays a sorted datatable via a datagrid and is left open but minimized most of the time. A timer is used such that each 24 hrs I want to maximize and bring to front as a reminder as such.The problem is with code it does not recognize "form1.maximize" when it is in the tray in a minnimized state. I believe the error is "No Instance"
