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.
Where is the best place to resize a control on a form when a form is resized?....I'm currently using the Form1_SizeChanged event and seems to work ok. Also is there any need to check in the forms resize event if the form is in a minimized state before resizing controls?.,.. in VB6 if you try to resize a control when the form is minimized you get an error, but I don't see that happening in BV10 Form1_SizeChanged event, does VB10 automatically ignore resizing controls when a form is minimized or something?
View 2 RepliesI'm using VS2008 and .Net 2.0 on WindowsVista SP1. Whenever I resize my main window, all visible comboboxes are selected/highlighted (like double-clicking the shown entry). The combobox is bound to a dataset, the DropDownStyle is set to DropDown, AutoCompleteMode = SuggestAppend, and AutoCompleteSource = ListItems.
View 5 RepliesI 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?
View 3 RepliesIs 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

I am using multiple forms to create the interface for an application. The main form of the application is the only 'form' used. I am kind of stuck on how to copy the controls to a panel created on the main/different form.UC1 is a public usercontrol, so I don't have to reference every control individually later. mp3ctrl is a public control variable.[code]I have Listbox1 on mp3form. I created a new instance of a transparentlistbox control I have in Form1_Load. When trying to set size/location to Listbox1.size/.location, I get the error of Listbox1 not being declared/inaccessible.I thought by creating new controls on the main form and setting the properties, I could reference the control through the .name, especially since the control has been added to the main form.
View 5 Repliesi have a button in my form which increases the font size of the form by 1.

View 1 RepliesFirst off I'm using the Extended Webbrowser control from: [URL]
I use the Webbrowser control to access an ESRI web based mapping solution. When the ESRI map is loaded into an IE browser and the browser is resized then the map control resizing accordingly. When my Webbrowser control is resized the map webpage is not resizing properly.
I don't even know where to start with this problem. Is there some event that's not firing in the website? I can't simply refresh the whole website because the user may have panned and zoomed around. I want to just tell the website that the container control (Webbrowser control) is resizing now.
way to stop resizing a panel here's what i got:
I have a CaptionPanel containing a DataGrid. The user is not allowed to resize the panel beyond specified values (min/max height and width).
In the resize funtion (handling the resize event), i'm putting conditions on the height and width:
Private Sub myPanel_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles myPanel.Resize
if myPanel.height>maxHeight

View 1 RepliesI've got a Panel on a main Form containing a PictureBox control on Top of a TableLayout control. Both the child controls have their docking properties set to Top. The Picture control has sizemode set to Zoom.
What I'm finding is that the picture doesn't size properly when I start the app. There is a border at the top and bottom in the PictureBox control. It's only when I resize the overall form that it's correct.
So at the moment I've got this ugly bit of startup code, just to fix the problem Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
What am I missing?
I have a form that has a TableLayout Panel, 5 colums and 2 rows(GroupBoxes in one row and Exit Button in second row). Colums are set to 20%each and rows are 90% and 10%. I have dock set to Fill. I have 5Groupboxes, one in each column with about 20 buttons each, anchor is set to Top/Left. Buttons are all set Anchor Top/Left. What do I need to change to get the buttons to expand when the form is resized?
View 2 RepliesI've been programming a Fisheye-panel that holds image and make it behave like the icondock in Mac Os X. But now i have a problem. When i add to many item, i want them to shirk, to make room for more, or grow when i remove icons. This is the behavior i get: When i want them to grow, they don't grow at all. When i want them to shrink, they shrink, but leaves lots of empty space (like replacing a photo from a frame with a smaller photo. The image shrink, but not the frame)

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

View 4 RepliesAfter 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.

Why doesn't the main window in my application allow the user to resize?
View 3 RepliesI need for a user to be able to resize a panel using at least one corner at runtime. I did this by making a panel and placing a small picturebox in the bottom left corner.

View 2 RepliesI have a panel that has 8 buttons located on it each named But1,But2,ect. What I am trying to figure out how to do is resize all of the buttons in width when the panel is resized in width. [Code] Is there something simpler to do this as I will eventually have 3 panels with 8 buttons on each one that would need to be resized at the same time. In VB this was controlled by an index and a for next loop, but I see no way to create a control array for all the buttons when they are on separate panels.
