I have a visual basic 2010 form with various group boxes, buttons, and labels. i want to be able to have the form maximized but when i do that the controls stay where they are at and they do not resize with the form. i want them to resize proportionately with the form.
View 1 RepliesI'm wondering how do i create a User Interface that scale automatically based on the form size that the user desired.For example, we can see it in most of the modern browsers. The UI scale (larger or smaller) automatically based on the form size (try Chrome or Opera)
View 11 RepliesI'm somewhat new to the vb scene and I have a little problem with a simple browser I'm trying to create.
First, the
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Resize(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Resize

Now I want the browser portion to fill up the space as the window adjusts, just as firefox or IE would, but I get an error saying both Scalewidth and Scaleheight are not part are not members of 'Web_Browser.Form1'.
Inside a form, I would like to display a pdf file which is already available in my resources (template file "untitled"). In this pdf file, I have some fields which get their values from some texboxes in another form. My aim is, when the user triggers the button to call this form, it should insert the values inside the pdf file and display the output pdf inside the form.I have written the code to an extend but could not finish it myself after my many trials... Now here are the two things I cannot manage:I can use a directory to read the template pdf "untitled1.pdf". But my aim is to use the file inside my resources. can save the output file in a directory but this is not I want to do. I want to display the output pdf.

View 2 RepliesI have a slight problem With an enumaration of child controls on a form. The following code will not get but about have the controls that are on the form. The controls show that the count is correct but when it goes through the loop it skips over some of the controls. If you run it through the enumeration two or three times it will get all the controls a few at a time. The solution uses two forms, one that has the controls and the other that labels are made and displayed on. The Tx is just a index to add a number to the label.name and rename the label. So each label is identified seperately. This works for all the the controls that are seen in the for each loop.

View 4 RepliesHow would you add Dynamic controls to your form, from an array which size may vary depending on how many controls the user has selected and has been retrieved from a database?
View 2 RepliesI have been working on a VB 2005 applications for the past week and now I'm not able to add a control to the form. It's a very basic app with only one form and I can add the control in design mode but it does not appear on the form in run mode and is on the verge of driving me nuts. Pretty new to programming by the way.
View 8 RepliesI have a simple form. In the top left corner I have a numericupdown box. Under that I placed a panel that holds a picturebox. I did that so I could use the panel autoscroll feature if I resize the picturebox to be bigger than the form. To set this up, I set the panel to dock fill. If I do this, it covers up the numericupdown box. The docking on a form is very, very sensitive. How can I make sure I set this up correctly.
btw - If I place the numericupdown box on the panel and I scroll later. The numericupdown box scrolls away also. I am trying to make sure it stays fixed.
Also - I looked to add the numericupdown box to a toolstrip, but the box is not available to be placed on it - This would be my first choice.
Been playing around with this and simply can't get it to work
I've got a form and I've created a button called refresh. The button is meant to do exactly that. What happens is that when the form loads, it checks the database for values. If it finds values, it creates a dynamic edit box related to the value.
I open the form and it paints accordingly and as I expect it. If I delete a value from the database then click the refresh button, it should re-draw the form and paint the background grey. The logic definitely works because I trapped the bit of code and it does hit the part where it's meant to set the background grey.
Now, I'm not sure I'm refreshing the form properly because all I'm doing within this sub is calling the form on load event: formLRQuadrantSchedule_Load(Me, New System.EventArgs)
This seems to work logic wise, just not doing what I want. So, I tried this (amongst several other things):
Dim dynTextBox As New TextBox()
Me.Controls.Add(dynTextBox)
With dynTextBox
[Code]....
Is there a way such that I could reset/clear the values of the controls in my form no matter what type of control they are, can be controls from control suites like Janus and/or ComponentOne?
I am thinking perhaps I could somehow get their base control types?Here is my current implementation but somehow I need to add ElseIf for the other control types.

on one of my form, if user press a button then it sync data with another database and it takes time. i show a hidden group box on form which show progress bar of processing. during this process i want to disable all the controls of the form so that user not able to do anything form until process if finished.because most control on the form has validation and if i do me.enabled = false, it disable the control but still use can click on any of text box and then depending on validation event get fired.in a nutshell, want to disable any kind of activity on form.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to get all the controls of a particular type in a form without using any loop and without iterating all the controls (recursively or not depends upon the design of form).
I have the issue with loop is: there are a lot of controls in my form (more than 500) and it is taking a lot of time in executing the function
I want my form to start in a maximised state, this is simple enough, however the problem I am having is that my controls do not re-size with the form between minimising and maximising and it looks un-proffesional.
View 2 RepliesHow can I group controls in my Form?
I don't need groupbox or panels, just something in the code...
To make it clear:
I have one form, Form1.
I have 3 buttons: Button1, Button2 and Button3, and I have 2 labels, named Label1 and Label2.
I have 2 "groups", in group1 there is Button1, Button2 and Button3. In group2 there are the two labels (Label1 and Label2).
But how can I program that, that if I write (for example) "Group1.Hide()", then everything In Group1 hides (visible = false). And so on with group2.
