I am running a program that needs to allow the user to be able to change the size of a text box at run time. I know I need to use the MouseDown, mouseMove, and mouseUp events. I just need some help with the coding to send the information.
View 2 RepliesRecently I was working on a project that included several DataGridView objects. With one, I dynamically create columns based on the types of data being displayed. I established a baseline size (so each column would initially display the same width), and a minimum size. AutoSizeMode was set to None. I knew that I wanted the new column to be resizable by the user, so I put in code to that effect:
Resizable = True
When I tested the code, the columns were not resizable. I traced the code, looking for anything that would reset the property Resizable to False. Nothing. I commented out the line with the
Resizable = True command;
The columns were resizable after this. At this point, I remembered that Resizable is defaulted to true. But I still did not understand why the columns were not resizable after setting the property to True.
I did some experiments. If you create a new DatagridViewTextBoxColumn, add it to the
DatagridView, and then set the Resizable property to True, the result (via Watch) is False {2}. If you do the same, but set the Resizable property to False, the result is True {1}.
This is disturbing (and confusing) on at least two levels. The fact that the exact opposite boolean value is passed in. The fact that {2} is False. It was always my understanding that VB treated
{0} as False, and
Any other value as True.
I want to create a control which user can resize and drag anywhere in the form at runtime. Like in Visual Studio windows form designer.
View 2 RepliesI would like make my for like below picture.
In this form, there are three section and each of them can be resizable.
How can i do this
I just made a basic browser using VB... So now I am wondering how to make it resizable so that when it is resized the browser and buttons remain in same layout but the text box and browser space resize to the new screen size and the buttons do not change layout or get covered (it has buttons for back, forward, refresh, home, and stop then a text box for the url and then a go button, I want them to remain in same order but the text box to enlarge and the go button to keep to the right side of the box - and I want the browser spot to grow too).

I can't make the control to be resizable,and i want to make the control just like the one in visual studio designer with the container that allow user to change the size ..
I do want my windows to be resizable i.e. the MDI Child ws should not be resizable. owever, I could not find any property which I can set for the same.
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to have a Textbox on a form that when the user inputs data, ( during Runtime )that data remains in the Textbox for good and the Textbox then becomes read only ? Is it also possible to make it so that the CD with the programme on, is in the PC when the programme is being used. Perhaps writing the Textbox data back onto the CD ?
View 1 RepliesI have try many different methods but still no avail.how to do this? As i found a good tutorial over
here where it create a resizable rectangle on a form. But what i want is on a picturebox with image.
I have two DataGridView controls, with three buttons in between them vertically, in a VB 2005 form that need to be resized and moved around on a form resize.
The code below works, and does what I want. It takes the difference between the new size and the default size, splits the height difference between the two DataGridViews, and moves things around correctly.
What bugs me about it is that I've hard-coded the defaults into the ResizeEnd handler. How would I go about passing the default size so that I don't repeat myself?
Even better, is there a way to do it with anchoring, docking, and other stuff, so that I don't even need to write code?
Private Sub dlgShowAssets_ResizeEnd(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.ResizeEnd
Dim defaultWindowSize As New System.Drawing.Size(759, 619)

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 need to have a custom background on a panel that can be resized with the form and want to know how I should go about designing it. Maybe have three images the left side, right side and the middle is just replicated? The thing is I would like for it to have a border and there will be buttons attached to the top edge so simply stretching a static picture may make the buttons not line up properly.
View 1 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 am making a CSS layout creator. You can create reziable/dragable sqares. And when you press a button it get the css code for it. How would i get the locations and size of each box? And then spit that all out in a rich text box?
View 22 RepliesI am trying to make a rectangle that can be resized by the userby clicking and dragging the edges/corners of the rectangleTypically, if the mouse enters the rectangle region, then smalladjustment boxes should appear at the corners of the rectangleand also at the middle of the rectangle's edges (to allow the userto drag and resize the rectangle). When the mouse leaves therectangle region, then the adjustment boxes should disappear.I have the code to draw the rectangle and to produce the smalladjustment boxes, but I'm not sure how to accomplish thedrag and resizing steps (or if it's even possible with the way mycode is written).
