I was wondering how i could change the screen resolution... however I have a few additional requirements..The screen number needs to be passed in (for people with multiple screens)The resolution should be reverted when the application is closed - EVEN IF IT CRASHES - or is killed with "end process tree" (ie no code required to execute to change it back) - like games do Needs to not stuff up desktop icon locations when changing to a smaller resolution
Can someone please help me create a very very simplistic sample page as the chat page included is too coomplete. something as simple as detecting a change in the database and displaying the word "change" on screen in realtime for any client connected.and I tried creating a global.asax file into which I added in the line mentioned in the link above, but it does not seem to like the word "Setup" in the line [code]
I send a message a while ago and no one answerd, how can I draw directly on the screen (not on a specific window) just on the screen, neither if it's on the desktop or anything else.Is there is any option to bring up the switch between applications window (Alt + Tab), I don't want to use sendkeys because the user need to keep the key down and I just want the user to select the application with his mouse.
I have a button btnRegEx that when pressed shows a ContextMenuStrip, similar to the '>' button in the Find/Replace dialog in Visual Studio when you are using Regular Expressions. I have a ContextMenuStrip cms which I show using its Show(x,y) method.
At first I was simply setting x and y (the location of the ContextMenuStrip) to some point next to the button, but I noticed that when the button is close to the edge of the screen it goes off screen. I wanted to prevent that so I built some logic into the x-y calculation. When the ContextMenuStrip width is larger than the 'remaining space left' I simply show it more to the left. Same for its Height of course. I am using the Screen.GetWorkingArea(point) method to determine the 'remaining space left'. As I understand it, it returns the working area closest to the point you specify (to which I pass the button's location).
As long as I stay on my first monitor, it is all working perfectly fine. The problem occurs when I move the form to my second monitor. The contextmenustrip is still showing on the first monitor for some reason...
Here is the code I am using:
vb.net Private Sub btnRegEx_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRegEx.Click Dim p As Point = PointToScreen(New Point(btnRegEx.Left, btnRegEx.Top)) Dim x, y As Integer
[CODE]...
I have noticed that when I click the button when the form is on the second monitor, the buttons location (p) is calculated with the first monitor's top-left corner as (0,0), even though it is on the second monitor. This way, the GetWorkingArea function returns something like 1280, while the buttons x-location is something like 1700... So, how do I get the buttons coordinate relative to the actual screen it is on, rather than the entire dual monitor screens as a whole?
ex.You click a button and it takes you to a whole other form(different buttons, pics, etc.)
ex for scrolling. Adventure game-You walk at the top of the screen and your guy goes up. Maybe it would be easier to have the world move around my guy but 2 playwer woudn't work well with that.
I want that when a form appears, your screen colour changes to red, blue and black, how to do that in VB.net? I'm using Visual Studio 2005. Explain me as I dont; know.
A simple example is: lets say that im trying to make a program that allows you to move the mouse only with the arrows (left/right/up/down) how can i change the position of the mouse on the screen programmatically? If i wanted when you press a button the mouse to change position to X=0,Y=0 of the hole screen/desktop not the window of the form how can i do it? [Code]
How to create a program that detects the screen resolution and change it to 1280x800 or 1024x768? What are the computer requirements to support each of these resolutions. (I don't want for the program to request the user as programs do this especially in Windows Vista, because my program will be created for Windows Vista).
How to show the bottom part of the screen in the click of a button? On my site I have a picture and when the user clicks on this some more information is shown at the bottom of the page, althought i do have text at the top informing the user to scroll down once the picture is clicked it would be nice to automatically focus the page on the bottom half.
How to change the system screen resolution in VB 2005 or 2008? As it something to do with this: Code Block My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width System.Drawing.Rectangle
BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?
i wanted to develop a application to Refresh the screen.[Simple F5 would work !!] but is it possible.I want a button to start at X:0 Y:0 then on loading the form want the button to move diagonally on the form [ on reaching end the process should repeat ]I want the application that displays current resolution.The supported resolution by monitor and then give user the choice of selecting one.
I am working on an application using vb 2008 express. I have built test programs over the past few weeks and shared them for feed back. Today when I finished some work, I built another test application, but when I install it the start-up screen maximizes but is set between one and two desktop icons from the top of the screen.
In debug mode it looks fine. In the past it looks fine. Each time I start the program the screen is in a slightly different location. It is set to start maximized and to the best of my knowledge, I did not change any settings in the property area. I have tried loading on three computers and the results are the same. Any ideas on what I could have done to produce this strange result?

I purchased a new computer with windows 7. The screen size is 16x9. My old computer had 4x3. I can no longer read my VB6 programs as they no longer fit on the new screen. I need to alter the height. Is there some code that I can add to overcome this problem.
I want to make the GUI code listing easy to read. I want to inlarge the font. not any control; the listing of the code; not the form window layout; the code listing behind the form and modual listings.

We did development of a VB application on a machine with a high resolution screen. Also the machine where the real application runs has a high resolution screen. After a while we wanted to do minnor changes on the application and we wanted to use a low resolution laptop for that. When we opened the application for editing we saw that all forms changed their sized automatically AND unwanted.How can we build and change applications in one form size that does not change depending on the resolution of the machine on which edits are made?
