How can one set the screen size? As with the task bar, by incressing the size sets new limits when maximizing an application's window. How can I tell the system what would be the demensions of the desktop screen: left, top, width, height?

View 3 RepliesI am working on an application using vb 2008 express. I have built test programs over the past few weeks and shared them for feed back. Today when I finished some work, I built another test application, but when I install it the start-up screen maximizes but is set between one and two desktop icons from the top of the screen.
In debug mode it looks fine. In the past it looks fine. Each time I start the program the screen is in a slightly different location. It is set to start maximized and to the best of my knowledge, I did not change any settings in the property area. I have tried loading on three computers and the results are the same. Any ideas on what I could have done to produce this strange result?
Now I'm creating at app in VB (Microsoft's, Visual Basic 2010) which will be in full screen but I want to know if I can put all my content in the centre of the screen. At the moment it's at the far top, left of the screen. When the screen size varies I want it will stay in the middle for all shapes and sizes. Like :
<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 500px;"></div>
But this is for web pages using HTML and CSS.
I have created a GUI and have set my 'Form1' window to match that of my PC monitor ( 1280x1024 ). However when i move the project to work on my netbook, the screen on my netbook is only 1024x600 and half my GUI is missing. Is there any way i can adjust my settings so that my 'Form1' GUI will auto adjust and display in full on both screen when i move the project back and forth?

View 1 RepliesWhat is the size difference between desktop and screen size?
I've been developing an application, which consists of a bar to the bottom of the screen that I want to keep allways visible .
When i open a window and maximize it, it do not stay behind the bar but only to maximize the top of the bar!
VB.net / VisualStudio8 I have an application I've written that's been very stable. I had it set to exactly 1024x768 resolution, and to windowsstate=maximize (I think that's what it's always been).
I recently started coding to give the user the option to use the 1024x768 or to have the program detect the max size of the screen and use it.
That part works great... I'm using:
Dim MonitorWidth = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width
Dim MonitorHeight = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height
Me.Height = MonitorHeight
Me.Width = MonitorWidth
What I'm baffled by is that the application now won't get off the max screen size. It's using the max of the screen, even when I do not call the screen resizing code above. I'm trying to give the user the option of the application only taking up 1024x768 (and placed up to the top left) or maximizing the application using the full extents of the screen.
I have an RTB. Actually it is a RichTextBoxPrintCtrl as per KB 146022 but I don't think that matters.
I am printing the contents of the RTB on a label. I have determined the appropriate margin settings to cause the contents of the RTB to print on the appropriate label (there are 4 per sheet). That all works.
But I want what the user sees on the screen as he types to match what prints. So if he types three lines of data he gets three lines on the label. Also, if scroll bars appear, that is a clue that he have filled up one label. By trial and error I got the size of the RTB just right using the default font (MS Sans Seriff 8.25).
But when I or the user changes font size, the on screen display no longer matches the printed label. The label prints properly but it is not an exact representation of what is on the screen.
Is there a way to fix this problem so the screen representation of the label is always correct even when the font changes.
My app writes events to event log from time to time using below [code]...

When setting a point 10 font size in VB6:
[Code]....
The reported size is 10. Can someone explain the difference here? My hunch is that VB6 is using a .75 step because my system is configured at 96 DPI, and .NET is not using said step, or not reporting its usage, but I'm not sure.
How can a TextBox or RichTextBox buffer size be set? I have data that goes to a TextBox continuously, but I want to set a maximum size of buffer for the TextBox. I read in one forum someone suggesting to set the TextBox MaxLength property, but the questioner replied that he had tried this, and when the MaxLength was reached no further data input was possible, and what he wanted was the situation where new data could still come in, but the oldest data was then deleted, i.e a rolling buffer, which is precisely
View 3 RepliesI built a console application that reads a directory of files, builds a 'put' statement for each file and submits each statement to a webservice. Then, it reads the webservice output (for each statement), parses it for a specific string, builds a 'get'statement and submits the 'get' to the webservice (for each file).Then, the application reads the 'get' output stream and writes a file (to the local file system) for each file that was submitted, using a streamwriter.I have encountered an issue where some files are unable to be written to the local file system by the streamwriter.After much testing I have figured out that any file exceeding 4096 bytes will cause the application to hang where streamwriter should write the output to file.I have tried the syntax below to increase the size of the streamwriter buffer however, it doesn't seem to be working.I do need to mention that I am an extreme novice with VB or any other language and have, for the most part written this module from research and code samples.I should mention that this module does work for any file that is less than 4096 bytes in size.

View 10 RepliesI build an application that is designed to work on a screen resolution of at least 1280x1024. So therefore, when my application starts, I would like for it to check the current screen resolution, if the screen resolution is not what I specify, then a message will ask whether the user wants to change it, if he clicks yes, then the screen resolution will be set to 1280x1024 and then it will reset to the original when the application closes. However, if the desired screen resolution is not available, then an error message will pop up.
