Resizing Group Boxes On A Form?
Mar 26, 2012
I have a form that has group boxes of various controls for data input. One of the group boxes contains a user control. This user control can be 1 of 7 I have depending on the type of data I wish my user to load. The 7 user controls are all of various size. My form is a fixed size, and i have allowed room for the user control to fit the largest. However, the smallest one has a lot of space obviously. The resizing of the form itself I am struggling with. It has to be the size it is at now as there is a tab control,

Is there a better way to make a form with multiple buttons opening different things than having a form that has lots group boxes for each tab. So in the begining each box will be invisible and when you click the button the corresponding group box will become visible. Is there any other way?It will be like a background image and it'll have buttons that will mask it with invisible buttons. when the button is clicked it will open the corresponding group box.

I'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?

I have a groupbox with 12 checkboxes(containing months of the year). I need to calculate and display the value in a text box.
For example if one check box is checked then on clicking the button calculate, it should be able to display the value 500 in the text box, if two checkboxes is checked then the total should be 1000, if three check boxes then total should be 1500 and so on[code]...

The other day I needed to know how to handle a group of form items in one function, specifically speaking I needed to uncheck all ListBoxes in a group of a MenuStrip when any other was checked. Now I need something similar, except this time it's just a group of check boxes on a panel. heres the code I used for the other purpose.

I am currently trying to allocate a number of group boxes dynamically. Previously (in other languages) when I have carried out something like this I have used the '&' to substitute the contents of the variable direct into the code I.E
For I = 1 to 20
Groupboxname = "GroupBox"+I
Weatherstates.&groupbox.controlls.add(obutton)
next
This would then have the result of creating a button in all the group boxes, however this does not appear to work in VB .net 2010
I have looked at Directcast, but i am a even more confused. Is there a simple way to substitute the contents of a variable into the code ?

New user here using VB .Net 2008
I seem to be having trouble getting group boxes to appear when I click a radio button.
For example:
If radiobutton1.Checked Then
Groupbox1.Visible = True
Groupbox2.Visible = False
Groupbox3.Visible = False
Groupbox4.Visible = False
End If
This indeed brings up the first radio button however I have other groupboxes underneath which with the same code will not appear when the radio button is checked.
Eg:
If radiobutton2.Checked Then
Groupbox2.Visible = True
Groupbox1.Visible = False
Groupbox3.Visible = False
Groupbox4.Visible = False
End If
The second groupbox does not appear and is directly behind the first groupbox.
The .Top code doesn't seem to be working either.

I put some group boxes on a user interface and now labels and pictures that are set to visible can't be seen even when the group box is set to visible = false. (I have the group box and the pictures and labels in the same place on the form and was planning on using buttons to make them visible and invisible but the pictures and labels stay invisible no matter what while being in the same place as the group box.)
Does anyone know why group boxes do a sound job of making things invisible and how to correct it?

I am having trouble coming up with a way to add a selected radio button in a selected group box together.I have 3 group boxes each accessed by a checkbox within each group box there is 3 to 4 radio buttons. I would like to know how to add the selected radio buttons in each group box together and display them in a textbox by clicking a button "calculate". I believe I would have to make a global variable but I dont know where to start.
Private Sub Calculate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Calculatebtn.Click
Dim answer As String
[code]....
I know this code is wrong but I was just trying to remember the calculate function.Is there a command that uses the selected radio button from the group boxes then I would be able to input that into my calculate button sub?

I understand because it has to be ON/OFF it won't go through to any other radio buttons in the group box. Would the best way is to use a hidden radio button that would switch control between the two? There's only two radio buttons i need to tab through, what's the best way to tackle this?

Im attempting to loop through all the text boxes inside of a group box, and add the text into a list box to later be written to a text file. Here is the code I am using.
Dim cControl As Control
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "Tester.efw"
Dim Group As GroupBox
[code]....
Now instead of locating only the text boxes, apparently it is still trying to identify the labels as text boxes, because I am getting this error:Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.Label' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox'.

It appears to me to be right but always returns true.

I have written a code and tried linking up groupboxes from my input form called input.vb and the output form called results.vb.
[Code]...
I have used the above codes to access groupboxes from both forms. However, at run time I get errors saying "InvalidCastException was unhandled" and below that it says "Conversion from string to DOuble is not valid". This error points to a value in a group box that is actually hidden or disabled.

I'm fiddling around with trying to make a sort of map/world. I'm using 16 x 16 pictureboxes named PictureBox1, PictureBox2, etcThe issue is that when I put the images into all the pictureboxes, I have to have a line for each picturebox (so say I have 100 boxes, I have 100 lines).The only difference in each line is the picturebox number, the rest is identical. I'm basically telling it to set that picturebox's image based on the number that a variable I've created has stored.I've got a game idea, and I'm just trying to figure out how to do the map. I want it to work like the old school RPG games like Dragon Warrior, or the more recent Dwarf Fortress. I'm still not sure if I want to use graphics or letters. At this point, I'm just trying to figure out how I can create the main screen where the user moves around. This is what I've come up with, as it works with what I know. I'm pretty new to this, although I've messed around with VB6 a lot.
Dim tile(30) As Integer
Dim tilelocation(3) As String
Dim x As Integer

So basically what I'm trying to do is write data from an XML file (a "save file") back into the form. My controls are in all different group boxes (makes it much easier for showing and hiding groups of controls dynamically). I thought about and am putting each control's Parent name into the file, but can't figure out how to get that parent name back into the DirectCast within a For...Next loop so it will actually cast the data into the control.

My full screen sized Form is locked in size when I reduce it in size by clicking on the "restore down" [ie] not to the minimized size. I mean "locked in size" by I cannot for instance "grab" it on a corner and to increase or decrease its size. I suspect the control is in the properties window but I cannot find it.

I want to prevent from resize of form. I set false MaximizeBox and I set FormBorderStyle to FixedSingle. I couldn't change the MaximumSize of form at runtime. If the user double click on the Tiltebar of the form the form resized. I couldn't prevent that
Then I write the following code at size changed event
If FormLoaded Then
Me.MaximizeBox = True
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
Me.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.WindowsDefaultLocation
Me.Size = InitialSize
Me.MaximizeBox = False
End If

I am writing a relatively simple "yahtzee" program. Its set up so that the user can pull up a options window and select whether they want the game to be 1 or 2 players. If the user selects 2 players id like the second players score card to become visible on the Score Card window (easy enough with the visible property) and i would like the Score Card form itself to resize it self (at run time) to allow the second players score card to fit. How do i make the form resize to fit 2 players at run time?

I have a windows forms program that I upgraded from VB 2005 to VB2010. When the program was on VB 2005 the form would resize to any monitor resolution. But since I upgraded the program to VB 2010 some of my controls are off the screen when I run my program on a 1024 x 768 screen resolution. Why is it doing that?

I used to use the following instructions to lock my form from stretching.
Me.MaximumSize = New Size(550, 550)
Me.MinimumSize = New Size(550, 550)
Then I needed to keep the Form size fixed so I used:
Me.ClientSize = New Size(625, 500)
This makes it stretchable.How can I lock the Form from re-sizing?
