How to set child form start position in vb.net that will be work in different screen resolutions
View 1 RepliesHow can I make my MDI child form to load in a specific position in the parent form? Or preferably, how can I make the child form Dock Inside a Panel in the parent form?
View 4 RepliesI have two forms: Main and Options.Main can be moved around the screen (like a normal window).When the user clicks a button, the Options form opens up and the Main form HIDES.How do I set the Options form to open in the exact place that the Main form was last on the screen (to give it the effect the MAIN form never went into hidding)I was thinking to set Option form's StartPosition to Main's current position, but I don't know the syntax for that or if it's even something you can do.

View 4 RepliesIn your opinion what API use Spy++ to get the "Rectangle" and "Restored Rect" data of a child control of an external window?I don't think it uses GetWindowPlacement because if I use this API for the main window I obtain the same values of Spy++, but if I use the GetWindowPlacement API to find the position of a control of the window itself, known it Hwnd, I obtain different results as to Spy++ (that are ALWAYS the same results also if I shift the Main window... so I think that are relative data and not absolute data... but they are wrong )
One example:
Spy++ : (620, 473)-(792, 505)
GetWindowPlacement: (615, 450)-(787, 482)
same dimensions... but different pos... and the right pos is the Spy++ pos.

View 6 RepliesHow to set winform start position at top right? I mean when user click (start) my winform application the winform will appear at the top right of the screen?
View 2 RepliesWell I'm not sure how to describe it so i uploaded an image that has 2 different control box positions.
[URL]
The one on top is set up as Render Mode=System while the other image is set up as Render Mode= ManagerRenderMode
Both applications were developed in VB using VS2005.
Each one has its MDI container and their MainMenuStrip set up..
What property/reason would be causing this? I just created a test program simulating the same case (MDI container with child forms) and everytime i maximized the control boxes appear in the correct position.
In a MDI WinForm I want to save each child window position and state, per application user, that is different by the logged in Windows user. My application has its own users; so I won't use the user settings like my.Settings... etc.One option is to read/write directly to the database, but I don't like the idea to access the database for something so trivial as the windows positions. The plus is that I could store that information independently by the machine where the user works, wherever she logs in, her preferences will be remembered.Another option, that I'd like to follow, is to use Xml to store that information in a file locally on the user's computer. The structure could be something like:
<form name="form name">
<Top>120</Top>
<Left>100</Left>[code]....
how this could be done; maybe using Linq to Xml? I've found I can write something as simple as
Dim formPos As XElement = _
<User><%= My.Application.connectedUser.id %>
<form1>[code].....
2) How to write the XElement when finished building it. Should I use an XmlWriter.Create? Hot to pass it the XElement?
3) What happens when in the Xml file there's already a node with the same name, I want to overwrite the previous user settings if they are already there, but not append to the file, nor rewrite the entire file, of course.

i have a for loop "for each val in values" I want to within this loop some how check positions ahead of the current position for a condition.

I have a form that I just want to pop up right above the time on the lower right side of the screen. Does anyone know how to set a manual start position?
View 3 RepliesI have a MenuStrip with File > New, Open, Save, Exit located in a parent form, and a RichTextBox located in a child form.The problem I'm running into is concerned with the destination of the file elected from "Open" and the save.When a user selects their file from "Open", I need it to open the child form and put the text into the RichTextBox.I also need the program to be able to "Save" from a child form, whether it's been brought up via "New" or "Open".

My program writes text to a multiline textbox. After the input is finished, the cursor is at the end of the text. I want the program to position the cursor at the start of the text so that I can see it.
MSDN suggests:-
tbPositionCursor.Select(0, 0)
I believe the cursor is now repositioned, but I cannot see the start of the text. How do I scroll back automatically, refresh or whatever so that I can see the start of the text?
Is it any way to make my program start in the lower right of the users screen? Above the clock you know.
View 4 RepliesI have created a maskedtextbox to do a simmple validation >L99999. My problem is when the user clicks on the empty box the cursor stays where they clicked it, not at the beginning of the box as it would with a normal textbox. I have found some suggestions but these all seem to affect the way the cursor moves within the box rather than just changing the start position. As far as the end user is concerned the box should behave just as any other textbox but with validation.

How can I get my application to load the Sub Main at the start rather than loading a form on start up.
I have tried declaring 'Public Sub Main' on my forms and in some modules, yet in my project properties, it is not one of the options.
I'm creating an application that uses an MDI container to create a sort of desktop style for my form with a group of icons docked to the left hand side. The rest of the form is the desktop area that I want all windows to open in.If I use the standard File-New option that is provided by VB as a default for the MDI container this works fine and a child window is loaded.If I use similar code from one of the icons this also works fine.y problem is that one of my child forms is a search panel and when I double click on one of the results I want a window to open, but as an MDI child. However, this doesnt happen. When I open the window it opens as a completely separate window and isn't docked within the MDI parent. It also appears on the task bar as a separate application.
View 4 RepliesNote: I am working with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. Note: There are a lot of MDI Child posts, but none (that I have found) that apply to my scenario... Scenario I have an MDI form with a UserControl docked at the top. The UserControl is for navigation and is ~50 pixels in height. When I show a child form with its WindowState property already set to 'Maximized', the child form shows maximized in the MDI parent, but behind the UserControl.

The following code does create a form within a form and does place NotePad inside the child form. You have to manually start NotePad prior to execution (I work on that later) but the code does workŠ My problem is now I want to manipulate the properties of notepad i.e. focus, size, location, etc. but I cannot figure out how to reference notepad and its properties.

i have my main child form open. then i show the new form:

but when the form opens it flickers a lot. so i want move the new form behind the main form while it loads so the user does not see the flicker. once it is done loading i will set the form to topmost. how do i move the new form behind the main form?
Im working with MDI parent/child objects. when closing the child objects i need the child to check to see if it is the last child object before closing. i couldn't find anything on google, maybe im searching for the wrong thing.
