I need to store the Location, Size and WindowState of my application when it is closed, so that it can be re-opened in the same state later. I thought I could use simple coding and the Settings to achieve this, but I noticed the PropertyBinding of the Form in a tutorial and decided to see if I could use it.

View 3 RepliesBelow is a short section of code from an application I am working on. What I am trying to do is to get a counter value to show when the application is minimized. When restored back to normal state, the name string is applied. It works, but it takes several minutes to change, and then never updates again. Not sure what the issue is.

I also tried a direct string conversion in the "elseif" part. No difference.
I have a dual monitor setup on my computer. My program has multiple forms. I've designed the program to check which monitor the main form is currently on and to open the secondary forms on the current monitor. When the main form is on the primary monitor the secondary forms open as FormWindowState.Normal which is the design-time setting for the secondary forms. If the main form is on the secondary monitor and I click to open a secondary form then the secondary form is to be displayed as FormWindowState.Maximised.
[Code]...
So I moved the Form.Show line to after the Form.WindowState line. This works fine when the Form.Show process is very quick. The problem is that one of the secondary forms downloads some information from the internet so it takes about a second to finish the Form_Load process. When I had Form.Show first the form would not appear on screen until the Form_Load process is complete, so the delay was in the form appearing at all which is how I prefer it. With Form.Show last the form appears on screen immediately but appears mostly blank and unresponsive until the Form_Load process completes.
I would prefer that the form not appear at all until the Form_Load process is complete but I would like it to appear in an already Maximised state. Is this achieveable? It doesn't seem that complicated but I just can't figure it out.

I have an mdi form where the child forms need to maintain aspect ratio in normal state and have resize procedures that work well except with one form that appears to have a bug.
This form is the first child form opened, it is set as maximised in design and looks ok. If I then open another form on top, this maximised form, with a size of 1920x942, goes through my control resize code insisting it is in normal state and has a size of 1428x822. Obviously, when I close the other form the controls are wrongly resized/positioned.
I thought I might check the eventargs to test if the controlbox has actually been used and ignore otherwise but debug always reports that as empty. Lostfocus, deactivate etc don't trigger before resize so can't set a flag there.
why just this one form appears to be insane, or how I can distinguish between an intended resize and one just due to hiding by another form?

View 2 RepliesHas anyone had any luck with having different window states with multiple open child forms?for example if you have a single child form opened and say it is maximized.then open a second child form as normal, the first form will then be set to normal.all the open child forms will mimic the newly opened forms state.and i believe they will mimic when making some changes to one forms state.the others will follow.i have not had luck keeping this from happening in most situations.

View 9 RepliesI 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)

If I re-size the form, the textbox inside should be re-sized to fit the form, NOT DOCK!

View 18 RepliesI have three radio buttons and one textbox, when the user selects one of the radio buttons I need the text box to display a user defined string which they specified for each radio button. Because I have 3 buttons and 1 textbox I need to bind the settings on the radio button checked event. I just can't seem to find a way to save the settings since you can only bind one property settings to a single control property at a time.
View 5 RepliesWell I just learned about PropertyBinding and I was all happy to try it out and then *bang*, it doesn't work. It actually did work on a new project I created, but in specific there's another project that I'm trying to PropertyBind and it doesn't work. All I'm trying to do is Bind the Checked value of a CheckBox. The CheckBox is in a group box but I don't think that should affect it. I also have Save My.Settings on Shutdown saved. Anyone know what might be causing this? I also tried to save the Text of a textbox not in a group box and that didn't work either.

View 3 RepliesI save the size of a form to a variable (One Size or two Integer variables--doesn't matter), and then I close the form. Before reopening the form, I set the form size to the size I saved before--which by all accounts of logic and reason should exactly the same. Except, no, it's not. On one system the form "grows" horizontally and vertically by 15 or 16 pixels. On another system the form grows only vertically 15 or 16 pixels. I'd love for someone to explain this perfectly insane, yet MS typical, behavior to me.

View 1 RepliesI set the form's size with Me.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(500, 500). I display the mouse cursor's position when the event Form1_MouseMove fires. At the bottom right corner of the form, I read the coordinates 483,460 (instead of 500,500) I precise that the upper left corner has the coordinates 0,0.I also notice that the size of a control differs from the form's size. for example if Picbox1.height = Form1.height, then the Picbox will be bigger than the displayed Form1.
