How can I set the width of a form in inches (or cm) instead of pixels?
I want to print the form, so it needs to always be the same dimensions (4" by 6"). I saw some examples for previous versions of VB, but nothing that works in VB10.
I know that you can return the length of a string, which results in the number of characters and spaces. Is there a way to return a width of the string in say, pixels,inches or some unit of measurement.

View 2 RepliesProblem in VisualBasic 10 on Windows 7 OS I have a form which has 30 lines for user input in format <textbox for Name> <comboBox for Type> <comboBox for Quality> <NumericUpDown for Amount> At the start of each line is a CheckBox. The intention is this enables/Disables the line. I have associated each object with an Array - eg
Dim Name(30) As Textbox
etc
and assigned
Name(1)=Name1
[code]....
ie enable/disable the boxes on a line dependent on whether CheckBox is Checked The Sub for Picked_Changed refuses to allow referenced to the arrays within, even if not generated by the picking of box (see above - it allowed '=Men3.Value' but not 'Men(3).Value', although the button sub is fine with this)
I have a form with a text box in a toolstrip. I would like to make the width of the textbox relative to the form size when the form is resized. The following code works fine except when you click the restore button from a maximized state.

I'm using the next class to fill my listview

I want all the listview columns to be in auto width. I tried adding the next line of code but then only my first column fills my entering listview width. All other columns are not affected!
lvwColumn.Width = -2
What I am trying to do is fill the contents of the datagridview with the cell contents. There are two ways to do this.
1) Either set the DGV width to the cell contents width, or
2) Autoadjust the width of the cells to the width of the DGV.
how to implement either of these two approaches?
This Winforms app has a toolStripComboBox within a MenuStrip container that displays Culture Info languages.The toolStripComboBox's width is not expanding to accommodate the size of the string. The strings are dynamically added to the combobox from underlying code. How do I get the comboboxe's width to expand? Below is an image of the'too narrow' combobox and below that the Properties for the combobox.
View 1 RepliesIn VB.NET for the combo box, I have set the autocomplete mode to "SuggestAppend" and autocomplete source to "ListItems". Its working as expected. But the width of the autosuggest dropdown box is not same as that of combo box and so it looks weird.I tried changing the value dropdown width property but it changes the value of normal dropdown box (seen after clicking down arrow on combobox), and not the autosuggest dropdown box.So what code or property needs to be set to make autosuggest dropdown box the same width as that of combobox width?
View 1 RepliesI have a drawing program written in VB6 that is capable of printing very thin lines to a laser printer. In VB .net, even though the pen width is set to 1, the thinnest lines are way too "thick". The equivalent line width in VB .net using a pen width of 1 is about the same as the DrawWidth = 4 in VB6. So, my question is, how can I print very thin lines to a laser printer in VB .net?

View 5 RepliesI am using this code which I am checking with the form width size that if they are greater than 672, then do something....

If Me.Size.Width >= 672 Then
MessageBox.Show("the form size is greater than 672")
Else
[code]...
When the width size is no greater than 672, the messagebox will display that it says "the form size is greater than 672" which it sound didn't looks right for me. What I am trying to do is to check the width size that if they are greater than 672 then display the messagebox that says "the form size is greater than 672", otherwise if the width size is no greater than 672 which is equal, then display the messagebox that says "the form size is no greater than 672".

when ever the form resizes I want my combobox (placed in a toolstrip) to increase or decrease in length to make sure it fits. Say it's about 500px before the combobox and I need about 200px after it. How would I do this? I've tried the various methods for the textbox, but I can't get it to work with the combobox.
