I have a book for VB 2005 and I am running VB 2008 and in VB 2005 they have a layout tab where you can turn off Absolute positioning and in VB 2008 there is no layout tab. So my question is how do you turn off absolute positioning in VB 2008?
View 1 RepliesHow do you position controls loaded at runtime to align middle? I'm not looking to match the x y coordinates as the heights vary.
For example loading 2 text boxs and 2 labels.
I've tried using the Anchor and Dock properties but with no joy.
e.g.
txtNewTextBox = New TextBox
txtNewTextBox.Name = "name"
txtNewTextBox.Dock = DockStyle.Fill

I was wondering if there is an addon, or position controls for my website. I hate having to code the location of a button for example.
Isn't there a way to just move it freely around the form as you do in Visual basic or C# for example?
I have a form where I need to place some labels dinamically. Some of the label's height needs to change depending on the string size that will populate the label's text. So what I need to do is position the labels one below the other, after the text has been populated and the height has been set.
View 6 RepliesIn earlier editions of visual basic I could move the form across the page by changing left in the properties window. VB 9.0 doesnt have that in the window properties window. I can set start position to manual but it wont drag and drop how do I move a form window in the design mode? added by TNT 1/24/09 I went back and checked VB5 the left and top positions were settable but only located the form during run time.

View 2 RepliesI have a system that has a collection of picture boxes.Each picture box allows you to place pointers(Custom control derived from label) on the image, when saved I store the X/Y for the pointers along with other information relevant to the pointers in a database.(See attached image)This way the chart can be reloaded and the pointers be moved or edited.This all works great until I resize a chart, the calculated percentage of size in/decrease often results in a float like in the following example. [code] I position the pointers by top and left, which only accepts integer, the rounding results in significant drift over multiple resizes.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to position a small form that will have its top left edge exactly lined up with the bottom left edge of a label. But I am finding this to be impossible to accomplish because of some magical hidden offset that exists somewhere ... I don't know where.
So here's what I got, if I can manage to pilfer out only the relative portions... For the sake of simplicity, I'll focus only on the horizontal positioning below:
Dim FrameSize As Size
Dim TargetHorzFramePos as Single
FrameSize = SystemInformation.FrameBorderSize

I have a series of tabs, each containing a series programatically generated PictureBoxes that are all 480x360. The TabControl is anchored to all 4 edges of the form, so it always takes up the whole area.
I would like the PictureBoxes to behave similarly to how images behave when floated in HTML/CSS. So if I have 5 pictures and the window is only ~900 wide then I will have 3 rows, 2 in the first 2 and 1 in the last. But if the window is then expanded to ~1500 then I get 2 rows - 3 on the first and 2 on the last.
What is the simplest way to achieve this? Is there a built in way?I am planning on repositioning the pictures when SizeChanged fires on the TabControl, or when the selected tab changes.

View 19 RepliesI am adding a series of RadioButtons to a GroupBox programatically. By default they are all placed on top of each other. So I use a bit of math to position them all nicely and then resize the GroupBox.
However I notice that the GroupBox has an AutoSize property, but it doesn't seem to be resizing as controls are added.
Is there a better way to position my radio buttons than to specify each one programatically? I mean, can't this stuff be handled automatically by the framework?
I have a camera in my 3D game. I have a start vector and and end vector for its positioning. I am wanting to move it smoothly from the first vector to the end vector.
View 2 RepliesLaunch a dialogue window from the main form, and then another dialogue window from that dialogue window. If you close the second dialogue window and call dispose the main form vanishes under any other open windows. This doesn't happen by closing a dialogue window normally, but I am attempting (rightly or wrongly) to stop memory useage creeping up by disposing of it.
So, the question is - what method can be employed to maintain the position of the windows?
I'm working on a web browser with tabbed browsing, however..When a new tab is created, it creates a web browser in it - but I want a function called when the browser is finished loading. I can't create a private sub inside a function, So I am not sure what I should do.
My Code:
Function addtab()
Dim myTabPage As New TabPage()
Dim theweb As New WebBrowser

View 2 RepliesI have a tab control with several pages. Within a page I have a panel. When I drag and drop a database to the panel the datagrid view is placed on the panel, but the bindingnavigator is placed outside the tabcontrol. Running the application shows only the bindingnavigator, which seems to have blocked the tabcontrol. If I cut and paste the bindingnavigator to the panel, and running the application shows the page with the bindingnavigator at the top and the datagrid below. However, the bindingnavigator no longer allows me to add and save entries to the database. I made sure all the properties were the same before and after i cut and pasted the binding navigator.As a test, I removed the tabcontrol, dragged and dropped the database to the empty form, and everything worked.
