Resize Parent Control From Child's Resize Event?
Jan 10, 2012
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.

I want a set of child forms to keep their relative sizes and locations to their parent form when parent form is resized. So if one child form is opened and covers the lower right quadrant.. it will remain a quadrant for whatever resize is done on parent form.

I created so many listviews in my project, that im too lazy to add to each listview a resize event with percentages. Is there any other trick, who just scales the columns so as they are?

But I want auto resize child form when I resize tool in left corner.

I came across an issue which I see has been discussed a few times, but there doesn't seem to be a defintive answer to the question.How can the child windows in Silverlight 4 be dynamically sized to fit within the size of the current browser window?The problem is on smaller displays where the browser window may be smaller than what the child window was originally developed for.What occurs is the OK and Cancel buttons are off the screen and cannot be scrolled to via the browser.You can duplicate this problem by simply shrinking the height of a browser window manually while the child window is displayed.The controls will disappear and there is no way to get to them.This is pretty much simulates what users with smaller monitors see.So the question is how can you set up a child window to dynamically size itself so it users can still interact with it?

Does anyone know how to make the controls on an MDI Child form resize along with the form itself? I inherited a project from another developer and I was asked specifically to make the form resize. With advice I received on this forum I now have the form resizing as expected. It will minimize, restore and maximize as well as resize with the mouse pointer.
The problem is that when I increase the size of the form all I get is more blank space on the screen. The controls to do change at all. Although I thin this is normal behavior for a Windows form my bosses all seem to think that the controls resize on every other widows for they see. I wondered if anyone had successfully accomplished this. I was already advised to write a FormResize handling subroutine and this unfortunately did not work.

I have set up a Textbox Resize event, but when I execute the form, it doesn't allow me to change the textbox size. I'm not sure what code to show; this is a VB.Net book exercise that I'm running in VB 2005. [code] I have tried setting the Border to something beside 'Fixed'. All resize references I have found refer to Forms or tables. Is there a property that allows users to resize a textbox?

Following on from my post yesterday (how to anchor buttons/controls to various sides of the current form when the form is resized) I have run into another problem. I am setting the width of my datagrid to be 80% of the form width on a 'form resize' event with 10% of the width at either side so it remains centred in whatever size window is available. This works fine. (mydatagrid.width = me.width/5*4)
I then decided to dynamically set the width of the 2 columns in the datagrid each to 50% of the width of the datagrid. Again, this sub is called in the 'form resize' event. This fails because the datagrid hasn't loaded the data from my sql database when the first 'resize' event is triggered. I did a bit of testing (by placing a simple msgbox statement into the resize event and the load event) and it seems the 'resize' event is triggered three times before the form's load event.
how do I stop the resize event triggering when the form loads (or at least make the load event trigger first).

I've tired to use KeyPress event while in focus of my program's window in VB.Net, but it doesn't work.
For example I wanted to press the number "2" anywhere while in focus of the application and as effect the pixels of the window will change from 200,200 to 600,600 (hortizontal and vertical)
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyPress
Form1_KeyPress(Keys.D2)

using VS 2010, writting small app which utilises wmp.dll (ver: 12.0.7601.17514 (size: 13.9 MB (14,633,472 bytes)).All works fine except on the openstatechange event the player object resizes every time to approx 250x250. Its driving me MAD!. I have even entered overiding height and width values which it rudely ignores...its a bad bad COM object.I have definately captured the event point where it resizes itself to the exit of the openstatechange event.

In my application I have more then one form/dialogs, of course. My start up (main) form is called "StartForm" and when I want to access to some other dialogs, I open up dialog and I put StartForm on ".Enabled = False" so that user can't access to that form even if he click somewhere on it (StartForm is maximized to full screen and dialogs are small so StartForm can be seen in background when you open dialog). Ok, this works fine until I click on my application "link" in task bar...then, only my StartForm is visible and it's ".Enabled = False" so I can't do anything...I must kill process in task manager. Same thing happens when I open some other application and then come back to my application.

So I am playing around with the resize event. My form is 500 wide, my button.left is at 100. If I use:
Dim int As Double
int = button1.Left / Me.Width ' this = 0.2
'resize event
'Button1.Left = (int * Me.Width)
TextBox1.Text = (int * Me.Width).ToString
The number in the texbox is correct - proportion wise, but it won't set the button1.Left to this number. I'm sure this is because int is a Double where .Left is an integer?

Back in the VB6 days, I could count on frmWhatever_Resize() to be fired when a form is loaded. That doesn't still seem to be the case. Since my resize event is filled with all the code I want that adjusts the size and placement of things, I decided to just call it from the end of the form's load event. That has no affect. I'm guessing that the form isn't actually shown until form_load is finished?
is there some other event that is fired when a form is shown, so I can call my resize code there?

I have been searching for code and/or a tutorial on how to proportianally resize controls and fonts. For example if I design a form at 800 X 600 and the user maximizes the form to 1600 X 1200, I need the form and controls to grow to fill the screen almost like a zoom function.

I'm a moderate (self taught) skill level programmer, developing a piece of software to display information on a Large-screen LCD Display using VB.Net 2008 in Visual Studio 2008 Pro, this is a WinForms project targeted for the .NET 3.5 framework.I have a WebBrowser Control (docked into a disabled panel on the form) which is used to playback a powerpoint presentation, on a fullscreen, borderless form.I need this to be resizeable/ movable, depending on the other information I need to display. If I just resize/move the control, but looks horrible, so I would like to animate this resizing.The WebBrowser control will be, by default, in the top right quarter of the screen, resizing to fill the screen as and when needed (so the control will need to scale up in size, and move left at the same time).I've tried to loop through a resize in increments, but the browser resize flickers, although the powerpoint inside it appears to look OK. Is there any way to make this a nice, smooth resize, without the flickering?

why the title has "(con't)" is because of this Form Resize With Control Sizing... almost named it with another thread on here. And I wanted to post, but it was already a 'Zombie Thread'.Thanks to _HAWK_'s post #11, instead of declaring every control I use. Would declaring it an array (fast guess - Label<Array(how many - 1; aka - X)>) work? ... that was probably Java... My point has probably been made, or can I just do Label.Scale(variable)?I had already set my declaration of the form I need to do this on "Resize". I am not quite at this stage yet, but I see this saving a lot of time asking early.
The +1 extra question is:How can I be able to split of a form in 3 unequal sections? The initial form is 800*600-left side has 2 sections, each 400*300 right side is 400*600.I am already using 3 'GroupBox' and it looks ugly because I have each one colored differently.I looked into Splitter and SplitContainter and TableLayoutContainer.

How to implement resize begin and end on controls the way a Form does. I had the idea that this can be accomplished using windows messages API (WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE and WM_EXITSIZEMOVE) but most of the samples I've seen so far are for windows. The reason for this is because I have a control that needs to re-render an image. The controll is inside a split container. The split container has only the Resize event. Is there any way this can be done?

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?
