I have a form where I need to place some labels dinamically. Some of the label's height needs to change depending on the string size that will populate the label's text. So what I need to do is position the labels one below the other, after the text has been populated and the height has been set.
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to position a small form that will have its top left edge exactly lined up with the bottom left edge of a label. But I am finding this to be impossible to accomplish because of some magical hidden offset that exists somewhere ... I don't know where.
So here's what I got, if I can manage to pilfer out only the relative portions... For the sake of simplicity, I'll focus only on the horizontal positioning below:
Dim FrameSize As Size
Dim TargetHorzFramePos as Single
FrameSize = SystemInformation.FrameBorderSize

I am new to this forum, and have search both here and on the interwebz.I don't have my code here right now, but thought I could ask anyways:I have an application that is going to run in fullscreen and display a clock in a defined position on the screen when it is in fullscreen mode. How can I define that position so that the clock appears at that point regardless of resolution on the screen?

I have several label boxes on my design form that all share the naming convention lbl_#.text where # ranges from 1 to 60. I want to make a loop that iterates through each lbl_#.text adding some incremental value, let's say multiples of 2 for this question's theoretical purpose.Something such that the end result would amount to the following:
lbl_1.text = "2"
lbl_2.text = "4"
lbl_3.text = "6"
lbl_60.text = "120"
I'm not sure how to access each of these labels through the coding side, I only know how to explicitly mention each label and assign a value :/
how to do this. I have a search box at the top of a vb.net windows form. And a bunch of labels throughout the same scrollable windows form. so when a user enters a search term within the search box it will highlight and set focus to the label that matches.
View 4 Repliesis it possible to show 2 labels in a form (one after the other) with the click of a button for example i have label1 and label2 (but label2 is like hidden), the form loads with label and a button when i click on the button, label2 shows....is it possible?
View 2 RepliesI created a program that has serval labels on a form and a listview object. It has a button that when clicked reads a textfile and loads up values in the listview object. I then can click and drag text from the listview box to any label on the form and then the program removes the value from the listview box. Now, my question is how can I instruct VB to save these values in the text property of the labels so that the next time the program is loaded the labels will contain the values loaded during the last run time session?
View 1 RepliesWell im currently developing an application for public use, I have a login screen in which the user enter's their registered credential's and the progressbar loads by increments of 3, now i placed 6 labels ontop of eachother and where the progressbar coding is i put:
If Progressbar.Value >= 1 Then
Label3.Show()
If Progressbar.Value >= 20 Then
Label3.Hide()
Label4.show()
And so on up until Label8 Show at 100%,
Now the problem is... As i have placed the labels ontop of eachother i need them hidden until they are called to show, i have tried adding a background worker to do this but have had no luck, all i see is the labels overlapping eachother when i run my application when i want them hidden untill Label3.Show() is called, and then to display them as they are called and hide them when another one is called to show...
Is it possible to change the ForeColor of all the labels on a form at runtime, including the form which is yet to be called? So that all the labels have the same color throughout the app.

I have a form showing a datagrid with info from a database. It also has 2 date pickers to filter the database results. It shows everything perfectly in the datagrid, so the db connection is ok. But it also has a few labels below, showing some info taken from the datagrid. For example, the datagrid has sales information and the labels below show the total sales. This works fine too.But the problem comes when I open some other form, maximize it and then open this form containing all this stuff (while the previous one is still open and maximized). These labels (along with a few more labels that only contain the '$' character) get on top
of the datagrid. Even if I restore the form to its normal size the labels are positioned wherever they want. The weird thing is that this only happens with some labels and not with all of them.My first guess was the anchor property, but I set it to left-bottom and it still does this.
There is an image of a patient on the form.I have to mark the location of wounds on this picture.What I want to do is place 5 labels on a form.I am using these labels to mark the location of the wounds.these labels will be shown on the side of the form.the user can drag any one of the labels to a specific location on the image of the person.e.g face,head,leg.arm etc
Then I want to save the location of the labels in database so that when the record of the patient is retrieved the labels appear on the moved position.

View 3 RepliesWith VB, but I've got the few basics down, file naming, adding objects, naming objetcs, etc. But the reason I'm on here is because I cannot complete even the first step. Our form is 640 X 480, and we need to have two labels, both have vertical scrolls. I know how to add and resize the labels to meet my needs, but I do not know how to create scrolling labels. Or are they text boxes? On our bubble chart (Do you know what that means?) it says lblInformation. We are going to have clickable radio buttons which will update the lblInformation with info about each of the radio buttons.

View 2 RepliesI created a form with 2 labels 2 textboxes and a button. Basically it is a login from. When I launch the form it shows the blinking cursor in the 1st textbox(this is ok) but when i try to type nothing happens. Once i click the form(not the textbox-textbox works too but wanted to note it was the form) it works. I have tried doing textbox1.focus(). I have tried doing the form.focus(). Neither were successful. It may have nothing to do with focus but it seems to be that to me.
View 12 RepliesAs I have been working on a project from a development book for self learning, I am having a problem with Dragging and dropping on my form. My form has labels that represent questions on one side and labels on the other side to be drag/dropped as the answers. I understand that under the element's properties there is Dragdrop and you can work with that, but how exactly do I actually make the element drag/drop? I want to be able to click and hold the element to drag drop, just as you would for reorganizing preferred settings or for my case of a drag/drop Q and A form.
