StatusStrip1 SizeGrip - Make Program Stay When Maximized
Sep 6, 2008
Well, in IE at the bottom right, the gray 5 fot looking things help you resize it down there, and stay there even after you maximize the window. When I make a form on VB and all, then maximize the window, it disappears on mine, but stays there every other time, except for while maximized, IE does it, so how do I make my program do it so it will stay there even when maximized? I have tried lengthy work-arounds and such, cause if its at correct size and location, and you maximize it stays, but I cant seem to find out when u maximize to over-ride it, so it'll work right.

When I tried to resize the form, the textboxes and buttons stayed on the top left. I would like to know if there is a way to make them stay in the center whenever the form is resized or maximized? I have tried using anchor but the buttons and textboxes ended up getting stretched.
ps: the area highlighted in green represents the size of the original form. Red arrow represents how I resized the form.

Here's the thing. I play EVE online, and I want to use my second monitor while having eve stay fullscreen on the primary.Currently, any time you click the second monitor, and EVE loses focus, EVE minimizes itself. Can I make a utility that forces the game to stay maximized at all times?

I'm having a lot of trouble with the windows in my application to size correctly. As a sample, I have a container form (mdi parent), with in which is Form1 (with a datagrid) and a form that is only called when a cell in the datagrid is double clicked. I want Form1 to always be maximized so I set the properties as follows:
Windowstate = Maximized
FormBorderStyle = None
AutoSize = False
MaximizeBox = False
MinimizeBox = False
So when I maximize the parent window, Form1 maximizes and shrinks correctly... but when I double click on the gridview and the popup form comes up, several things happen:
1. Form1 (in the background) goes back to normal size (not maximized)
2. If I click on Form1 (when the Popup form is on the screen) the form disappears into the background...
What I need to happen is for Form1 to always stay maximized, no matter what happens on the screen, and when the pop up form is on the screen, I should not be able to click on any form in the background, and it should never disappear into the background itself.

I have a program for school project that has input fields for Name, Address, City, State and Zip. I need to error check so that the fields are not empty.I have used If statements that check to see if the fields are empty and shows a message box if they are but if I leave the whole form empty and click the button that activates it, all the if statements go- one by one instead of pausing for the user to input the required data.How do I check for data and make the program stay there until the data is input? I have tried TRY/CATCH but it won't catch this type of error.
this is the

The problem I am having now is, the form size is exactly the size of my screen resolution. This makes the bottom scrollbar cover up by the taskbar. If the taskbar is hidden then it could solve the problem but I cannot set all PC to hide the taskbar

Ho can you make a dynamic label stay right justified, so that when the label.text is filled the text starts at the right edge of the label and fills to the left? Currently the text fills to the right from the left edge of the labels location and tends to run off the form.

This may be a common problem but I'm struggling to find a solution that will fix it
I have a modal popup I am displaying with jQuery, this popup contains a list of Checkboxes and a Button, the code looks like:
<div id="dialog" title="Notify Users" >
<div style="width:100%; height:500px; overflow:auto;">
<asp:CheckBoxList ID="chkNotify"
[Code].....
I have tried moving the CheckBoxList to just inside the form tag so that no other styles can be applied and nothing should affect it however I still get the same issue.

Note: 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.

I am new to dealing with SQL Express DB tables. I have a Windows application that gives the user a textbox that is bound to a value in my dataset (ds) which reflects my SQL table (Specs) field. The user can change the numeric value of the textbox and I can see by setting breakpoints that it created the new value in my dataset (I used MsgBox(Ds.Specs.Rows(0).Item(10) to determine this to be true). However, when I open the application back up, the OLD value appears again in the text box. It is like my dataset is not updating the SQL server table.
Again, I am new to SQL tables and allowed the wizard to create all my insert/update/delete statements which appear to be in place. Any idea why my values won't stick?

I have a form which I want to keep maximized and all other forms to stay their original size. The problem that I am getting is when I open an additional form, it also maximizes even though I have set the form size to Normal. When I click on the Maximize button to put it back to the size it should be, the form that I want to keep maximized also reduces in size.
