Okay, what I want to do is snap a movable panel to the form, like create a virtual grid kind of thing. The panels can be moved with the mouse and stop moving once the left mouse key is released.For the movable panel I have used a Class, it creates an object called NewComp in the toolbox.
Public Class NewComp
Inherits Panel
Public Sub New()

how can i implement a pre vb.net style snap to grid effect on a panel (at design time)?if you remember, you start dragging a control + the grid has a (gravitational) pull on the control
View 6 RepliesI have 3 PictureBoxes on a form that are tiled on top of each other. the form has a minimum vaule of (502, 416) and a maximum of (502, 1080). because the user can select from a MenuStrip to display '1', '2' 0r '3' PictureBoxes at once '3' being the bottom and '1' being the top PictureBox. What i need is when the user drags down the form it snaps to the next PictureBoxes position, so it goes down in blocks this is what i have so far which is pretty far from working.
If Me.Height <= (1079) Then
Me.Height = (732)
ElseIf Me.Height <= (732) Then
Me.Height = (424)
ElseIf
End If
I also thought i might be able to figure it out if i new how to create a variable like this
If Me.Height <= (1079 to 733) Then
Me.Height = (732)
I know that it isn't the correct syntax but it's kind of the idea If you can make sense from my not so good description and point me in the right direction/code example i will be most grateful :)

View 13 Repliesi want to snap one forms edge to another when within 10pixels of each-other.
I did try a little with LocationChanged event, but i couldn't get this to respind in the way i wanted.
Ideally i want to snap a second form to the rightmost edge of my first form.
In VB6 there was a property on the form called movable that if set to false meant that the form could only be moved through code ... just wondering how i can do something like this in .net ... i don't want anything that flickers either like: vb Private Sub Form1_LocationChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.LocationChanged Me.Location = New Point(100, 100) End Sub the above flickers occasionally when the form is moved

How can i best make a movable widget within a windows form application? I wanted a area inside the form where the widgets can be placed / moved, i was thinking something like Windows desktop gadgets, where you can move them around and add/remove them. i was thinking of using a group box to contain each individual widget (notepad, time, calc ect) and a flow layout panel to contain and move all of the widgets.
Also i was hoping there would be a way to actually have icons to press which place the widgets into the flow layout panel.
I have a form that I want to have a control box so you can close it at any time but I don't want it to be movable from its origainal position. It opens maximized and I want it to stay maximized. I've tried all the different FromBorderStyle options in properties and I've tried all the SizeGripStyle properties though I can't say I've tried all the combinations possible between those two but whatever I've tried I can always click on the border at the top and then the form breaks free from its starting position and when it does the vertical scroll bar disappears.
How can I have this form stay in place with the vertical scroll bar and the control box and not break free from its starting position if someone clicks on the border at the top? If I try FromBorderStyle None then I don't have control box to close it. I was looking at the form events list and I noticed when I break the form free by clicking on the border that that is a ClientSizeChanged event.
I have multiple forms within a form, typically up to 16, and I want these "inside" forms to snap all edges between eachother or the parent form edges, when a form is resized or moved, and edge comes within x pixels of any other edge.How should I approach this? What I can think of is to raise an event on the form that is moved/resized which calls a parent form handler method that loops through all the forms, check the edges and then keeps fixing (repositioning) the active form if any of its edges is close to any other form edge

2) I also want to be able to change the back color of the button based on a number of boolean flags I will be setting. Is any of this possible without completely mangling things? I'm hoping there are some easy options for setting a button made on runtime to use a number of premade subs or functions.
On a side note: This does not need to be exclusively a button. a picturebox or a text box would probably work just as well for what I want to do, but I like the look I can get with the button atm.
I have made form with no border,removed default title bar And placed a picture box,have set the image too, So,now I want to make it moveable, i tried each moveable title bar code,but it gives many error, What would be the code to make that title bar picture box movable??

I am trying to create TextBoxes and RichTextBoxes that can be moved and resized durig runtime as part of a program that makes/edits media-slides for online learning. The textboxes can currently be moved and resized by filling out the values for Top, Left, Height and Width on "property sheets", a method I would like to change into something a little bit more user-friendly
I created a user control with besides the TextBox or RichTextBox 3 objects to control the moving.I have currently added 3 panels to try to use for this purpose.I have written all the code to resize the TextBox when my new control is resized and when theMoveAndResizeHandles are set to be visible.The resize panels are currently 10 points x 10 points (easy to change because the 10 points are defined in a constant) and located top left above and bottom right under the textbox. The panel to resize is located next to top-left panel and has the width of the textbox - 10 pixels
My question at this point is: were Panels an appropriate choice or is there a more fitting way to do this?
-and-
Which events should I use to check for movement and resizing of the control? I would start looking into "dragging and dropping" as event, but I have as yet no idea wether this will work and what the gotcha's will be in my approach.
I have been trying to place a form inside a panel. This has been achieved by[code]...
In the IterationForm, I have values being calculated and displayed as and when an operation is being performed.

I have tried using MDI parent with my menustrip1, same thing, that is the form being displayed without the values.

View 8 RepliesMy project is similar to JM's Manipulating GDI+ Drawings and NickThissen's Shape Editor. I haven't used their code though, I've written my own similar code. My shapes are custom controls.
All the shapes are working fine. But I'm having trouble with line control.
1. I've tried my own line control. But to resize/move I need to write separate code. The common code that works for all other shapes is not working.
2. I've tried VB Powerpack 3 Line Control,but moving/resizing it in runtime is too much complicated. It is NOT a real control. (I guess) It is directly drawn over a "ShapeContainer" control. So, i have to write custom code for this too.
I'm recently tried to make a custom tabcontrol that able to move the tab to left or right...
But there's a problem, I'm don't know how to get the tab's item width... What I get with TabControl1.SelectedTab.Bounds.Width is the tabpage's width, not tab item's width...
I need to get tab item's width to know if the selected tab had to be stay, or move left, or move right, when the mouse is moving and holding...
For an example, if the cursor pressed and holding Tabpage1, and it move to Tabpage2, then the Tabpage1 should be move right...
If I can get the tab item's width, then I can know the cursor is on which tab by mathematics... Or if can, I want to get the tab that on the cursor directly...
