Resizing The Size Of Second Form And Centering It
Sep 3, 2011
For example I have Form 1 with 1 button, if I press that button a small form will pop out (This form is smaller than form 1, lets call it form 2). My problem is I want that if I press the button in form 1 it will show form 2 then adjusting the size of it and centering it.
I coded the Form 1 that it will send a string Extra_Background_Form.Label1.Text = "a" to form 2 then it will load form 2
totality of code in form 1:
Extra_Background_Form.Label1.Text = "a"
Extra_Background_Form.Show()
AdminForm.ShowDialog()
[Code]....

I designed a form which contains about 50 objects all kinds including tableadapters,buttions,grids, tabs. What is the best way to optimize the loading with less time consuming. I cannot split objects in on different form as all the objects has to appear on screen as a requirement.
But my primary question here is, i designed this form with all these objects on a 15" monitor which fitted 100% on the screen. Now i am using 17" monitor when i open this form on run time, all the objects are appearing as designed but theres a 30% form area which is left blank. How can i make the form objects resize automatically on run time itself to fit on different size of monitor with no area left blank.

I was writing an application that draws a bunch of random lines on a form with the mouse move event. I set the windows start position property of the form to center screen, but no matter what I did the form would appear in the windows default position. After around 30 minutes of cutting code and trying to paste it into new projects, it still wouldn't center the form. I finally gave up trying to center the form by setting the form property, so I changed it to manual and wrote code that centered the form horizontally, and around 50 pixels from the top edge and the code worked. Has any one else had this experience with VS 2005 proffesional?It was really bugging me for some reason.

I have a project that calls for just a ton of forms and I'd like them all centered on screen. Any way to call this in a module? Just trying to minimize the code necessary for each form. This is the basic centering I use now, only it's in each form_load.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim xLoc As Integer = (Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width - Me.Width) 2
Dim yLoc As Integer = (Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height - Me.Height) 2
Me.Location = New Point(xLoc, yLoc)
End Sub

I am currently developing a simple menu application that has a control array of buttons and I am having a hard time with re-sizing the form and centering the buttons. These buttons are created at compile time (with parameters from an INI file) and my current centering algorithm seems to slightly set them to the right. I am using the "button.location = new Point(...,...)" method but after reading about this it says the values locate the buttons left upper corner rather than center, thus accounting for the slight offset to the right.
My two questions are this:
How can I perfectly center these buttons at compile time? I have tried accounting for the difference by subtracting half of the button's width but the button width and point properties seem to be incompatible and the button gets heavily offset.
And... my other goal for re-sizing the menu is to have the buttons perfectly expand and contract when being re-sized. It seems as though anchoring is ineffective when the buttons are created dynamically so I have been forced to write ratio algorithms... Is there a way to get anchoring to work?
Here's what I have in the load up :
MyControlArray(i).Location = New Point(CInt(((Width - ButtonWidth) / 2) +_
(ButtonWidth / 2)), CInt((Height - MyControlArray(i).Height) / 2))
I have already tried:
New Point(CInt(((Width - ButtonWidth) / 2)), CInt((Height - MyControlArray(i).Height)_
/ 2))

I developed a form application on my computer, but when it was used in another computer with different screen size, i was told the form didn't fit. Do I have to adjust the form size or any other ways to let the form compatible on different screen size? (could be different screen size or wide screen)

So that's how I want it:
If I re-size the form, the textbox inside should be re-sized to fit the form, NOT DOCK!

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?

I am in the process of creating an all-in-one application for my own purposes. This application has panels with different "Mini-apps" inside of each. Timer, Notepad, Calculator, etc... The top of the application is a drop down menu and each of the drop downs has "Minimize" and "Maximize" for the appropriate application. When the minimize function for a "mini-app" is clicked, then that application is not visible. When maximize is clicked, the the application reappears.What I am attempting to accomplish is that when, for example, the two lower panels are minimized then the form resizes to only show the top two application.Basically, its like rows. If the two bottom are not visible, then the application should resize to fit nicer. An example of this type of application would be Windows Calculator (found in Windows 7 systems and probably other OS).[code]

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,

I have a form that sits on the user's desktop. It's only purpose is to display specific information about the computer. The layout is basically setup like this:
[Code]...
I want to be able to give the user the option to display whatever data they choose. In doing so, I'd like the form to resize itself based on the how many labels are in the form and for the labels to align vertically.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? For the form, I was thinking I could get the location of the last label and offset it's size by the location, or something similar.
