VS 2008 - Making An Application The Same Size In All Resolutions
Mar 31, 2010
I had all types of problems before with my application size.On one computer it fits great, but on the net book the application is so big that it crashes it.For example lets say that this is my application running on a regular PC which has a 60 Cm screen This not my application. On my net book which has a 25cm screen it will look different and bigger. Can i some how have a application that is the same size. I think this is very possible to do. Kaspersky has the same feature and it works great.

Firstly sorry if this has already been covered, though I am trying to find out if there is a way that I could make all objects on a form appear in the same area no matter what the resolution of the screen is? e.g. I have a group box located down the bottom right for a 1024x768 screen resolution but when I view it on my widescreen laptop it isn't right down the bottom right where I want it. Is there a way this can be done? I'm assuming i could check the system properties to tell me what the resolution is and if it's widescreen then change the location of the object.

I have a program which draws a U.S. map on the screen. This display looks great on my wide-screen (16:9) monitor, but it looks a little stretched horizontally on my wife's standard (4:3) monitor. Is there some way I can tell VB to automatically adjust the picture when a standard resolution is being used?
If not, am I correct in thinking that standard definition monitors are going the way of the dinosaur, much like is happening with TV's, and in the future we'll be seeing more and more wide-screen monitors.

how can i calibrate my form to be the same size in accordance to the screen size. So for instance if the original size of the form is 10cm by 10cm then when its maximized, how can i make the real size change automatically, because at the moment when i maximize the size of the buttons and labels etc. stay the same.

I have written an application which uses the Outlook object library to send an e-mail with information from a textbox. I programmed this on Windows 7 and Office 2010, which was a mistake as most of the clients will be using Windows XP and Office 2007. I am getting an error when running the application on Windows XP/2007:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=14.0.0.0 .... etc
I understand that this is because I have not loaded the Outlook 12.0 assemblies, however I am having trouble adding the assemblies on my Win7/2010 programming machine. I have downloaded the standalone Office 2007 PIAs however the Outlook 12.0 doesnt appear on the list, and when I try and add just the Office 12.0 I get an error.
is there a way to standardise and make the application work with both 2007 and 2010 outlook machines? I think it is possible, I have read some articles making the application choose the correct version, however cannot figure out how to.

Im trying to resize a picturebox dynamically using .size.height and .size.width Its not working. This is the error message: "Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment." Never used height and width before. Been trying to find the answer, but it seems beyond me. Im sure its easy. Anyone know whats wrong with this?

I have wondered the solution to this question for many years! I doubt if anyone else knows much about it because the internet is absolutely zero help in this!
I have made a form1 with a webbrowser control on it. When the program is run it brings up the homepage (which is Google). However the homepage doesn't seem to fit inside the webbrowser control.
So I am hoping that someone could tell me how to make the (...I dunno how to ask this retarded question...) webpage fit completely (100%) inside the size of the webbrowser control. Meaning...I would like to see the entire webpage from the internet in the
size of the webbrowser control. To fill the entire size (whatever size I want).
Etc... if my webbrowser ontrol is seh, set to 600px by 400px, how can I program this so when it brings up the homepage (or any other page), it fills the entire size of the webbrowser control? Without any scrollbars. How to make the contents from the web
(or local) fill the size of the webbrowser - almost like a mini browser if you will.

I developed a form application on my computer, but when it was used in another computer with different screen size, i was told the form didn't fit. Do I have to adjust the form size or any other ways to let the form compatible on different screen size? (could be different screen size or wide screen)

So that's how I want it:
If I re-size the form, the textbox inside should be re-sized to fit the form, NOT DOCK!

like below:
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=----------SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Flexlink;" & "Integrated Security=SSPI;"

I have the following function that should make the window always on top of other applications.
Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" _
(ByVal handle As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, _
ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
[Code]....
The problem is that it reduces the window size so that you can only see the title bar and min/max/close buttons. Also, even that does not stay on top of other windows.
I have used this function before on a windows 7 machine (instead of xp which this one is on) and it worked fine.

How would I go about designing something that will work on many different resolutions? For example, i have my monitor on a very high resolution, and when i work on my projects, the actual controls (buttons, text boxes ,whatnot) are in the top left quarter of my screen, because the program will have to be deployed on 800x600 machines.
Is there anyway to make it so it will stretch and look appropriate on different resolutions?

I need to know how Windows detects what resolutions the user can select for their monitor / graphics card. I'm pretty sure it's an API call, but does anyone know what it is?
I already have code to change it (courtesy of this thread here), and I was wondering if it was possible to get a list of valid and allowable resolutions.

I have written a VB .NET 2010 application which displays a "you have new mail" window/form with an OK button that closes the form.
Some users have received new PCs with dual-monitors and the OK button is no longer visible on the form - it's at the bottom but off-form.I guess that this is related to a different screen resolution and not the dual-monitor setup itself.how to make my forms auto-resize? I though this was automatic in VS 2010.

I'm looking for some advice on how to make my app work with different resolutions as I have posted a demo game on the forum but the game was designed on my laptop which is set to 1280x800 but a few people who have tried the demo are having problems as they are using 1024x768.
Is this a case of getting the computers resolution when the app starts and alter the size and position of controls?

What would be the best way to make a Windows .NET application be the only program that can be used on a computer? I have come across timers or events to switch windows back to a window with matching text and some api32 calls to make a form top most.
Is it possible to make an application like the windows lock screen where nothing can be done except that what is on screen? I want to block users from doing other things and only let administrators get to the desktop.
