VS 2005 Main Form Resize One Dimension Only
Oct 21, 2010
My program displays nature pictures so I want to restore the original ratio on wide screens when the form is first normalised. In the form resize event (inside a flagged section to avoid looping) I have
[Code]...
For some reason the resize event is only triggered once and only the width gets set. If I change the order only the height gets set. how to make it change both?Actually I wouldn't ever need to change both if not for a small but annoying little problem on normalising. Rather than fit the available screen height it always seems to be a bit more, as if the top border height is added to the existing max height. This seems to be a .NET bug.

Is there an "official" way to only allow diagonal resize for a Form (main form)? In other words the width/height ratio should always be kept constant always, no matter how the user tries to resize it

The form my application starts with is called Form1.
now if i have another form called form2 and call
form2.width=500
when you press a button on form1 then form2 is resized to 500
BUT if I call
form1.width=500
from the same button Form1 is NOT resized why is this?

My project has a single dataset with about 6 datatables. Each of those datatables has a TableAdapater and a Bindingsource on the main form (due to various databound controls).
Now, I want to have a second form for adding a new record. If I bind the controls to the datasource it creates new TableAdapaters and new Bindingsources on that form. I was wondering if it's possible to simply use the ones from the main form instead like this

I have the following function - the purpose of which is to resize a form so that it shows the entire contents of the grid on the form, provided the grid isn't so big that the form gets wider than the screen itself.
Public Shared Sub ResizeFormForGrid(ByRef F As Windows.Forms.Form, ByVal DGV As Windows.Forms.DataGridView)
Dim GridColumnsWidth As Integer

After using a form as a replacement for MessageBox I do have a need to make it automatically adjust its size to fit its contents, is there any rule out there that we need to abide to when it comes to sizing the form acting as MessageBox?
I am thinking I could use a panel that will auto-resize and just resize the form according to the size of the panel but I am not sure that will work as I haven't tried it yet.

I have a standard windows application called winap. I have a com component which acts as an api to the winap. I have a class in winap call classapi which has all the methods that the api calls and all works well. The problem is that one of the methods in my class api needs to get a handle on form elements in the main worker thread. Whenever I try to access an existing form I keep getting null because the for exists in the main worker thread and my api call is in a seperate thread.

I have a tool window that I want to stay above the main application form, but not stay on top of all windows forms. Similar to the floating properties window for visual studio - it always stays on top of the main VS window, but if I select another program, like internet explorer, the floating properties window will be behind internet explorer.
What I have is an application that has several forms that may be displayed at the same time. I have a Messages form that displays messages generated by the code in the form, that gives the status of the application. Obviously, the user would not normally be working on this form, but they may want it to be visible to see the status messages from the program (File saved confirmations, etc). So, my two options right now are I can set the form to be on top of all other windows forms or, when the user clicks on the main application form, the messages form would be hidden by the main form.

What is the best way to resize & move a form using just VB commands? I have a form that I need to set the Height and Top props, problem is that takes two calls and there is a noticable flicker. I tried using SuspendLayout/ResumeLayout, DoubleBuffered, swaping the top and height calls around, etc, but nothing seems to help. The test forms only have one small listview and one or two buttons.

I would like to resize a panel at runtime using a mouse.I only need Vertical resizing.So, I have panel1 and docked a label to the bottom of the panel, this will be the drag bar.Now I'm thinking I need to use the mousedown event and capture the Y coordinates of the mouse? On Mouse up set my panel height to those new coordinates?Also, I'm pretty sure my panel won't redraw itself when this is going on. Should I set the panel height while I'm dragging?

VB6 had a feature for it's datagrid where the user could use the mouse to drag the row divider in a datagrid and when the user released the mouse button, all the rows in the datagrid would resize to match the one the user resized (Excel does the same thing if you have all rows highlighted).

Focus and Resize the Control at Runtime I want to focus and re-size the controls like text box or label at run time using keyboard and as well as mouse. I have attached the image that has control and it is focused and it could be re-size. In that image,background it has grids. I need that kind of grids in my form. From this position of control, I need to convert it to .txt format and print it to the pre-formatted paper.
So i need 4 requirements,
1. Focus and Re-size the controls
2. Grids control (not a data grid view)
3. Data's convert it to .txt format
4. Data's Print to pre formatted paper.

How do i load the Main form of a WPF so that a seperate thread goes and gets data from the database while the form is in an apartmentstate? (drag-able / movable) I Know this is possible with opening a new window from your main form like this :
Private Sub openOrderWindow()
Dim OrderWindow As Orders = New Orders
OrderWindow.ShowDialog()
End Sub
[code]....
I've tried putting MyBase.ShowDialog() and .Show() and .9000+ other things The only benefit I've got out of using a seperate thread to load from the databse is i can see the screen right away (as oppose to it being a transparent box until it loads) but i cannot move it around or minimize it?is there any way to make it Movable while it loads?

[Code] I want like to check if a file exist on main form, if not: force open settings form. And then when the user is closing the form with exit button = check if the file exist again. If it doesn't exist, close application. It's a huge application and I need optimized on most parts. Also, the settings form is asking the closing question two times.
