Resizing Of Forms According To Users Input During Runtime?
Jan 9, 2009
I am creating a form in vb.net and i want its size to change the form as soon as the user inputs the desired number of items. In my form I have two combo boxes: one for number of items and the second is for the choices, then when the user choose 5 items 5 text boxes will appear and if the choice is 25 then 25 text boxes will appear. Is there any way that I can change the form based on the input and number of text boxes?
on my winform at runtime i will be resizing my array each time i add an element. so first i must resize to the size + 1, and then add a member to this index. how do i do this?
I have a code method that I wrote in vb6 that works on every screensize and resolution combo...however vb.net is not letting me do this. Here is what I do. upon form load at program startup I gather all of the data of the controls (height,width,top,left,font size) prior to the form actually resizing and I store those in a listbox that is not visible. Then when the form resize is called I proportion all of the controls from their old positions versus the new form size.
When I compile my solution and execute the program and set the form in window normal, it behaves strangely. The grip is apparent, the mouse changes to the appropriate icon, but I cannot change the size of the window.
I am creating a Visual basic Editor application. the thing i amnot able toselect the multiple controls at runtime from my application. Is the AdornerWindow supported at runtime to select the multiple controls at runtime ??RegardsVB 8.0VS.
So, my question is, how do I programmatically resize a Form beyond the boundries of the screen?If I try to simply set the Width property for example, it will only extend the width of the Form to the edge of the screen and not beyond that (even the width that I specified extends the Form beyond the screen's edge).
How to make my forms resize automatically. here's the situation. I have my intro screen, which a user may want to maximise. Once this is maximised, the whole program should stay maximised. Again, if the user chooses to restore the window to its default size, the whole program should remain in that default size. However, once the user clicks the button "Press here to start" on the intro screen, the form automatically reverts to its original size if it was maximised. I also need to be able to stretch the contents in the correct ratios to fit the new screen size.
we all know how to dock or anchor controls so that they resize themselves accordingly when a form is resized. It works fine till we have rows of controls on left and right size of the form. But what if have three columns (Columns as in visual sense. I'm not talking about any column control containing other controls) of controls? For example a form having a bunch of controls in the left side, a bunch in the middle and a bunch in the right. There may be a few more bunches in the middle. Now while resizing the form, I want the controls to resize accordingly as well as change their positions to make space for the previous bunch of controls that are resizing.
I mean, while the user increases the form size horizontally, the controls of the second bunch should resize and at the same time they should move right because the controls of the first bunch are increasing horizontally too. When the user decreases the form size horizontally the same thing should occur in the reverse order. I can manage it somehow using nested split-containers but that's too cumbersome. I would like to know if there's some better way to achieve it, like setting some property etc.?
Currently, my application is comprised of:a Main Form On this Form, lies an array of User controls, (pardon my terminology, i believe the more proper VB.Net term is Collection of controls). Within these controls are pictureboxes that have distinct graphics drawn on them. When I run this program, no graphics are drawn in the pictureboxes or it appears the graphics are overwritten. Also, it seems that the Form resizes uncontrollably varying in size on the screen and hits an infinite loop. I use the Form_Resize function for updating the size of the form. What could be causing this problem. What is the Paint method used for?Currently, to draw graphics on the Pictureboxes i am using the graphics object. I have two pictureboxes within the usercontrol for toggling back and forth for a more fluid refresh upon property updates.
From my reading, vb.net does not allow the ability to create an array of controls on a form, so I attempted to create an array of controls dynamically to try and stay as close to my vb6 application as possible because my knowledge is limited. This works, from what i can tell I know that in the Upgrade wizard the VB6.Compatiblity reference was used to try and mimic an array of controls, but I wanted to steer away from that and program strictly using VB.Net commands.
Has anyone ever had or dealt with resizing issues on MDI Child forms? I am working on a VB.Net Windows applciation project I inherited from another devloper. When I took it over the forms had already been designed. There are one MDI Parent Form and two MDI Child Forms. When the application starts up the parent form and one child form open by default. Both the parent form and the child form will maximize, restore, and minimize. Although I have to move the parent form slightly, when it is not maximized I can resize it with the mouse pointer as expected. The child form will not resize and when I move the cursor to the border of the child form I do not even get the mouse pointer. Also, when both the parent and child form are maximized the vertical scrollbar on the child form is no longer displayed.
One potential problem is that there are lots of controls on the child form, which are inside several group boxes. When I comment out the controls, the blank form displays without the vertical scrollbar but will resize with the mouse pointer as expected. When I uncomment the controls the resizing does not work any more. The AutoSize propery on all of the controls is set to True. I tried commenting out the code setting the Autosize property to True on the group boxes only. The result of that is that the resizing still does not work and I lose the vertical scrollbar.I am trying to avoid having to redesign the form completely, however I am running out of alternatives. The project will not pass UAT if the resizing does not work.
I have a basic windows form. I have one command button of the default size right in the middle of the form. I also set the anchors for the command button to keep it in the center when the window form is resized.The issue is when I maximize the the window form the command button remains in the center, but it has grown in size tremendously (almost taking up the entire form).I want to keep the command button centered when the form is maximized, but I also want to keep it the same size. Is there a property for the command button I am overlooking which will do this?
I have an assignment I need to make and I have to make an app where the user can create a map/floorplan.So basically they open up the program go to create or edit and they should get a blank or already made floor plan.After that they should be able to add new icons/components to the floorplan or change them location wise on the floor plan.I have been searching into custom user controls and a few post I found on the internet about dynamically creating buttons.The dynamically creating buttons could do if the users can modify their locations and if it could save the whole form after being altered.However I want to be pointed in the right directions and know if any of these will work before I start doing more research and going more in depth.
I'm making a project that judges contestants. I have 3 labels at the bottom of my form that will keep a running total of the top 3 contestants, and change as the contestants score higher or lower. I'm not sure if I should use a loop or if statement, or where to begin at all.[code]
How do I get my Form1 to resize so that all the (components) buttons and datagridview, etc. stretch and grow with the screen, but stay in their relative positions? I've tried adding Panels around the elements and docking and anchoring, but, so far no success. Elements scatter and don't hold their position, etc. Is there an easy way to do this?
i have created a windows form that has some labels, lines , buttons and i have enabled autoscroll property to true. i am having trouble with relocating and resizing of the controls with resizing of form and change in screen resolution.i have used a code liike dim tmpctrl as control
for each tmpctrl in me.controls tmpctrl.setbounds((tmpctrls.location.x/X)*me.width, (tmpctrls.location.y/Y)*me.height, (tmpctrls.size.width/X)*me.width,(tmpctrls.size.height/Y*me.height)) next
now as my form is a scrollable form.and the total window portion with respect to which i want to resize n relocate. m having trouble in choosing X , Y in the above code.
My goal is to display wether the users input (SideA, SideB, SideC) of a shape is a triangle or not. I am unsure of my issue however it seems that the function i am using returns false even if the shape IS a triangle.The code i am having issues with is this;
Code: Private Function IsTriangle(ByVal SideA As Double, ByVal SideB As Double, ByVal SideC As Double) As Boolean If (SideA + SideB > SideC & SideA + SideC > SideB & SideB + SideC > SideA) Then
[code].....
On button click i call the function and the inputted values i am using are all sides = 100.
I have a word (2003) document containing many Activex textboxes which are used to apply a character limit to the users input. Sometimes users want to paste data into the textbox from another source ks fine, but if they try to do it via the Edit menu then the textbox is deleted and replaced with the pasted text
I'm using VB 2010 and need to multiply 2 user input numbers in forms, so basically: TextBox5 = TextBox2 * TextBox3 That obviously didn't work but it shows what I want it to do.
i had some thing challenging work i had three functions
function1() function2() function3()
i had a text box and command button i need to execute the functions when the function name is typed in text box suppose i type function1 and click command button the corresponsding function is executed.
I have a form, with lables and textboxes added at runtime. The labels and textboxes are added properly on form load and display as expected. The form allows tabing into each of the textboxes, but the textbox does not allow user input.
Is this a problem with the way I show the form to the user? >> this particular form is called (frmname.show) from a different form -- If I test this form directly, without being called from a different form, it allows user input in the textboxes. Is it because of the properties I used to create the textbox? >> properties used were - .name, .size, .location, .tag
i wanna create an app which can take information and make notepad file of that data. Users can make any number of notepad files they want. The prbolem: i want to show all the users files in combo box whic i did it. but i don't know how to make that file show when user clicks on that name . here is the code of mine.
I have an asp.net web forms application that uses asp.net membership and URL Routing.Because of the way Roles work, i cant put an "AND" or "OR", etc. in the allow/deny tags of the web.config file that resides in each folder.This is a business website that that is being ported from a vb.net win forms project that contianed many apps. (The win forms project have a custom authentication system.)The web app is structured in a way to mimic the desktop suites and a folder was created for each app.There are also common folders where any user of any app can generate a report.
