I tried to change the size of a label from 2 text boxes, but doesn't work. Here is my code:
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
y = TextBox2.Text
x = TextBox3.Text
Form2.Label1.Size = New Size(y, x)
End Sub
textbox2 is width and textbox3 is height. It doesn't change and I don't know why.
i am very new to VB and have been trying to make a hangman game. I was wandering if there is a way to add multiple label boxes to a form based on the size of an array. For example a user inputs the word h-e-l-l-o in a input box that word is then split and put into an array(arrword) then i want the main form to appear with 5 label boxes each one containing a letter that from the array(arrword)
View 8 Repliesi have a button in my form which increases the font size of the form by 1. [Code] now when i increase the font size, after increasing by 3 the size of text boxes starts decreasing. this is how the form looks after size+5, when i open the form, the tabpage resize event is called 3 times.

I had an old program that I upgraded from VB6 to VB 2008. I am creating a program similar to it in VB 2008. There is a piece of code that I tried to enter into the program I am creating now from my old program. It tells the computer that if the label's text is a certain text that is on the clipboard, then the text size will be smaller.
If
LabelAbsent.Text = My.Computer.Clipboard.GetText Then
Label104.Font = VB6.FontChangeSize(Label10.Font, 8)
When I insert this code into my new program, it doesn't recognize the "VB6" in the code.
How can I get the same result in the program I am currently creating?
I'm using VB.net 2005 to code an application that will be a used as a "digital sign" to report factory production levels and will be displayed on a 55 inch wide screen LCD TV/display. So I am putting my controls in a TableLayoutPanel control so they will expand to use the whole TV screen and can be view from a distance. (I have my FormBorderStyle = None and WindowState = Maximized.) My Form is set to AutoSize = True and AutoSizeMode = GrowOnly. My TableLayoutPanel AutoSize = True, AutoSizeMode = GrowOnly, and Dock = Fill. I'm using Label controls to display the text on the display and they are set to AutoSize = False and Dock = Fill. When I run the app. the Gauge control expands on my 19" monitor like it should, but none of the Label Text expand. How do I get the Labels to enlarge / Fill there area? Is that not possible?
View 1 RepliesI have a label which appears full screen on a projector (VGA 2). In this label I will be sending strings. Some one liner's, some wrapped paragraphs. Some multi-line with carrage returns. My goal is to have the font dynamically change size to be as large as possible without overflowing the fixed label size.
View 10 RepliesI have been using vb6 for a while, I am following a tutorial by MS to develop a basic application and a simple task cannot be completed for whatever reasons! The tutorial asks to drag the label object from the toolbox and drop in the tab control container. Then, go to the label size property and adjust the size to some different dimansion. Basic stuff, right? It won't let me do it! After I enter the new dimensions (which by the way are not large or very small), the label size (both width and height) resets back to its original dimensions! I have the vb.net sp1 installed.

View 9 RepliesSo as the name states; I am a newer coder.
This is the code i have:
Public Sub RandomNumbers()
Dim s(4) As String
Dim RandomNumber As Byte
I don't know if you can tell what I am trying to do here, so I will try to explain. I what to create for random numbers and place them into for different text boxes. I also would like to do this with combo boxes and their selected indexes. So if the combo box has 10 items in it; the new selected index would be the random number generated above.
I'm in the middle of creating an application that will be used to input customer information whilst the customer is speaking to someone over the phone. This involves the customer giving the employee information such as name, address, postcode etc and the employee inputting that information into text boxes and combo boxes that are in the application.
What I would like to be able to do is after the customers information is given over the phone, I need to be able to send that information to a database which will probably most likely be done by button click. In this case, I'm using Microsoft Access. I'm also hoping that I can do this within Visual Basic coding.
The database is set out with multiple tables which include a customer table and a ticket table and both have multiple fields such as first name, surname in the customers table. Both of these tables are in use with the information that the customer gives over the phone.
I've already asked on other forums and people are where replying giving me third party programs that I could use to implement this, something I don't really want to do.

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to set the size of a box without setting it in the properties dialogue box. My reason for doing so: I have text boxes stacked on top of each other. I need to alter properties of them after I place them and don't want to scroll through the list of objects (there are a lot) in order to find that specific item. Instead, I want to place them at different places in the form and then tell them where to be located, and what size they should be UPON FORM LOAD. I can't seem to locate the proper syntax in the book I am using, but from logic I have reached the following beginning of the line of code:
Me.txtVidPro.Size = 561, 130
Me.txtVidPro.Location = 63, 258
the only part I'm getting an error on is the x and y coordinates. please help me by pointing me in the right direction.

View 5 Replieshow to say it. Im going to be making a program for my work, something for our CNC programmers to use for referencing machine code. Basically what i want is to have 2 combo boxes. One of them will have some letters, the other will have some numbers. If the user selects "X" in the one combo box and "54" in the other combo box, i want a label that will output "5221". The output is a given number, it will never change. Everytime that combination of of combo boxes have those things selected it will output "5221". So now my question is what is the best way to do this? My first instinct was a select case. Is this the best way to do it? I was also thinking about possibly using textboxes and having the user manually enter values instead of a combo box with some 60 numbers in it. I marked this as a discussion also, thinking it is more of a discussion than a question.

I have a form with some labels. If the labels equal certain text, then I want the font size of the label to change.For example, if the text reads "apple",I want the font size of the label to be 16.If the text reads "banana", I want the font size of the label to be 8.This has to occur during runtime without any clicking of the label.I have an idea of the code I want to write in order for this to work, but I need to know where to put the code for the labels.I cannot put this under Label_Click or Form_Load.Where can I put this code so that it works for the labels during runtime?
View 2 RepliesUsing VB 2008 Express.
How would I create a label that reports a file size at all times? Or, on a regular basis, say every 10 seconds or so.
In my form, I want a label to watch certain file sizes (logs, etc.) in case one suddenly becomes too big.
It is easy enough to report a static file size when a form launches, but changing it dynamically...I don't know how to do that yet.
The following example is generic and simplified for illustration purposes.
The file is C:Applicationapplication.log
The label might include:
("The application.log file is {0} bytes.",GetFileInfo.Length)
or something like that. But that would report a file size once and never again unless I quit and restart the form.
If any .NET concept is used, can you provide a link to the documentation or msdn stuff?
I am creating a very simple control, think of it as a bunch of labels, autosize=false, docked to the top inside a panel. I can't set the height of the label to any certain value, because I am unsure of how many lines the text will be inside the label. And I can't use autosize=true because then I only see one line. But I don't want a label in there that needs 50 lines and only has 30, then the next label only needs 5 lines but has 30, so some get cut off and some have way too much space. So I need a way to "autosize" the height of the label.
View 3 Repliesthis is what I want it to do. On the label, I put a little image (a question mark icon). When hovered, a bigger image would appear.
