View 2 RepliesI have a simple but tricky problem: I have a label inside a container control (form, panel, or whatever). The labels anchor is set to bottom & right, auto-size is set to true and the textalign property is set to middle right. The length of the text changes during runtime. I want to ensure, that the right edge of the label stays sticked to the right edge of its container no matter what the length of the lebels text is. I know I could do that in code, but is there a simple way to do it at the design-time?
View 2 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.

View 2 RepliesI am successfully hiding a combobox, based on the selection of another combobox. However, I can not get the label of the combobox to hide as well. The code I am using, which is basically the same code for hiding the combobox itself returns the following error:

Here is the code I am using for the label:
Me.DOCUMENT_EVALLabel.Visible = (EVALUATIONComboBox.Text = "Text")
I have a label in my Form which on loading, displays the contents of a text file. The contents of the text file may change and if so, the number of lines also will. I would like the Form to automatically resize itself based on the number of lines in the file. If there are more lines that the size of the label can take, I would like it to either resize or show scroll bars.

So far I have included a Main Form which has a label lblErrorFeedback which is not visible initially and I have done this but does not work.
lblErrorFeedback.Visible = True
lblErrorFeedback.Text = ""

Form1.vb: Imports System.Threading
Public Class Form1
Dim trd As Thread[code].....
So, I have a form (form1) with a label on, this label simply reports the status of the thread.The thread begins the Class1.Main() sub, and I have a delegate setup to change the text propoerty of the label.Now,I know the label is created on the UI thread,so I assumed the delegate would work. However,it seems that it updates the .text property, but doesnt redraw the control when .Update() is called .What am I doing wrong?I have found lots of examples of delegates, but all run from within the same class. I want to use threads too, not a backgroundworker! This code is a "simplified" version of a project I am on, which is encountering the same problems
I have 2 forms. The first form has a label on it. The second form has a combo box, a text box, and a button on it. In the second form, when I select the label name that I want to edit, I type in what I want to change the label name to in the textbox and I click the button. Now this goes through flawlessly except I want the combobox item to change to the NEW label name. I've been able to do that but when I close the form in run-time and open it up again, the previous label name appears once again. Is it possible to make the combobox add the new label name and KEEP it in its collection?
