VS 2008 Open Additional Forms In Center Of Form1 Position?
Jun 10, 2009
I would like all additional forms opened by some command the user performs on the Form1 to open in the center of Form1, no matter where the user has physically moved Form1 on their desktop screen. The application itself (Form1) is a small box with dimensions of 442x306 that will open even smaller forms on top of itself. Right now, I have everything positioned to open in the center of the screen so, in theory, everything works/looks fine as long as the user doesn't move Form1 anywhere.

Is it possible to position a messagebox in the center of your MainForm instead of the center of the computer screen? This is really confusing for beginner computer users, if your mainform will be in the top left corner and the message box in the middle of the screen, it won't be very clear that the messagebox belongs to your application. (well to us it is, but not to old people).

i'm playing around with fore & background colors, putting text in different places so i thought i'd try to size and position the console window but Console.SetWindowSize(640, 480) gives me an error saying that it has to be less than 170? [Code]. Positioning the window to the center of my screen isn't working either?

I am using two forms.
Form 1 organizes student information from a textfile
Form 2 appends a new student
I load the second form with:
Dim secondForm As New Form2
secondForm.ShowDialog()
It loads, cool..When I close form 2 with me.close, form 1 does not have the updated information. (Most things load with the form_load event)This is form my intro to VB course.

What I'd like to do is position Form2 underneath the Label on Form1 when the "down arrow" button is clicked. (Basically Form2 should have the same "Left" as the Label on Form1, and its "Top" should be the Top of Label1 plus the Height of Label1.) Please see attached images for further clarification. (I did something like this in VB6 with the SetCursorPos API and the Screen.TwipsPerPixelX and Screen.TwipsPerPixelY properties, but I'm sure there is a better way to do this in .NET.)

I just converted from Visual Basic 2008 to Visual Basic 2010.The application that I'm working on has several forms that change size depending on the situation and I want them to appear in the center of the screen.
This code:
Me.Height = 161
Me.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
worked perfectly in VB 2008 and doesn't in VB 2010

I have been converting my VB6 programmes to VB 2008, and I am beginning to regret it.According to the books that I am reading on the subject, I can call a second form from the first one. That is, when the first form code has completed, and the final line reads:
frmForm2.Show()
the second form should open and wait for input.This does not happen, the form flashes and then disappears without allowing any input, or button click.I must admit that I preferred being able to start from a module, with a Main() sub, which then read the forms, a la VB6. everything seemed to work fine then.

When I hit the submit button I want the entered data to appear in textboxes on groupForm, but this isn't happening. I have to restart the form or hit the Refresh button for the data to appear.[code]...
I added groupForm.populate() at the end of the latter function for testing purposes, but I know that shouldn't be necessary ("populate" just loops over all items in the ProfitObjects array and calls NewProfitObjectsItem for each one).
Anyway; when I submit the data from the second form, the groupForm doesn't automatically show the new data. I either have to hit the refresh button or restart the form (it calls populate() on form load).
I simply want the new item to appear immediately after Submitting it. And it should, because that's what groupForm.NewProfitObjectsItem() does. And to top it off I added groupForm.populate(). I'm assuming it's not working because it's called from an external form, or because the other form is open/has the focus.

I have two forms. Form 1 you click a button, and it opens Form 2. Form 1 is still open.
When you click a button on Form 2, I want to run a Private Sub that is on Form 1, whilst Form 1 is still open.
The idea is that the data i've entered on Form 2, once I close this form, I can continue working with Form 1 with the updated data without having to close and re-open it.

If I create a new form, say Form2, in order to use it in a program I must create an instance of it: Dim frmTwo and new Form2, If Form2 has a text box on it I can put this code in Form1: [Code] But what happens if I want to refer to an object (a text box)in Form1 with code in frmTwo? This doesn't work: [Code] How is the instance of Form1 created? And How do I refer to it?
