VS 2008 Resizing Form And Controls?
Dec 23, 2010
I have a form that sits on the user's desktop. It's only purpose is to display specific information about the computer. The layout is basically setup like this:
[Code]...
I want to be able to give the user the option to display whatever data they choose. In doing so, I'd like the form to resize itself based on the how many labels are in the form and for the labels to align vertically.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? For the form, I was thinking I could get the location of the last label and offset it's size by the location, or something similar.

I have a development system and two test systems. My development system is Windows 7 (64 bit). My two test systems are Windows XP (x86) and Windows 7 (x86). I have created a program on the development system mostly in VB.NET 2008 and deployed it. It looks nice on the development system and on my Windows XP system, but when executing the software on my Windows 7 (x86) system, all the form sizes and components somehow grow. To investigate the issue, I moved over the entire project and opened it on the Windows 7 (x86) system to find that the sizes have somehow changed in the designer there as well. I opened up the .Designer.vb files and the sizes there all seem correct. Then I go to the IDE and the sizes are larger than they should be. For example, I will set a form size to 532, 217 on my development PC then it will show up as 709, 267 on the test system. I tried putting in code on my form.load event to set the size to 532, 217 then re-deployed it, but again, it executes and the form is too large.

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?

developed my app on a Vista laptop and deployed it on an XP desktop. When deployed the Form and even some controls are resized so text and portions of controls are not visible.Next I moved the project files and VB to the XP desktop and published the application on that machine. Same result, in fact the sizes were changed within the properties of the forms and controls within the project files

I'm trying to set up a system to resize multiple objects on a form (40+) when the form resizes. I've got it working but it's rather slow, when I resize the form it stutters a lot from looping through the objects to resize them. Is there a better way to do this that would not cause the stuttering effect?

I have a picture box on a form that changes size as needed. Both by resizing the form and by code.How can I resize the form automatically if I resize the picturebox in code. The client area of the picture box should not be clipped.Right now the picture box is set to dock fill, but if the code resizes it, the form does not follow it. Is there a binding somewhere I can use?

I have a listbox and a panel. In my forms resize event, my listbox is always form1.width * 0.5 and then the panel is also, but it doesnt work very well. They overlap at a certain point but in theory, they never should. Is there something wrong with my logic?

we all know how to dock or anchor controls so that they resize themselves accordingly when a form is resized. It works fine till we have rows of controls on left and right size of the form. But what if have three columns (Columns as in visual sense. I'm not talking about any column control containing other controls) of controls? For example a form having a bunch of controls in the left side, a bunch in the middle and a bunch in the right. There may be a few more bunches in the middle. Now while resizing the form, I want the controls to resize accordingly as well as change their positions to make space for the previous bunch of controls that are resizing.
I mean, while the user increases the form size horizontally, the controls of the second bunch should resize and at the same time they should move right because the controls of the first bunch are increasing horizontally too. When the user decreases the form size horizontally the same thing should occur in the reverse order. I can manage it somehow using nested split-containers but that's too cumbersome. I would like to know if there's some better way to achieve it, like setting some property etc.?

I'm not going to post my code for my transparentlistbox class, but here is a link to it.It's been working fine as is, until early this morning when I tried to set a different size.[URl]..For the longest time I placed a normal listbox control on a form and resized that, setting a new public variable of transparentlistbox to the same size/location as the original listbox, setting the visibility of the original to false, and adding the transparentlistbox to the form (me.controls.add).It looked like this:
[Code]...
Now, since I've moved some buttons around on my main form, I resized the original listbox control to be wider (same height though). When I tested, the transparentlistbox (code didn't change still set to original listbox size/location), the size was that of what I had the original listbox set to, before resizing?
So, I commented out all of the custom drawing/paint events/etc I could find for the transparentlistbox and tested, still stuck to the original size. I stepped line by line debugging and verified that transparentlistbox1.size=listbox1.size indeed matched the new resized size (but didn't actually resize)?
Last I did was comment out the transparentlistbox.visible and put back the listbox1.visible and listbox1 does indeed show with the new resized size? I'm not quite sure what to test next?

I have a windows form with a groupBox and several controls ( textboxes, checkboxes, one grid, labels ) in the groupBox. I want to make the form resizable , such that the controls would resize themselves when the form is resized instead of overlapping each other.I tried docking and anchoring in several ways, but I am not able to achieve this.

I have two controls inside a user control. They are set to be anchored left and right in order too size with the window as it changes size. For some reason I'm having tons of issues getting this to work properly.
Particularly, when ever I build the project and the control reloads itself, these controls triple in size, and extend way off the control. If I re size them and repeat the process it happens again! Anyone have this issue or know what might cause it?

I have a basic windows form. I have one command button of the default size right in the middle of the form. I also set the anchors for the command button to keep it in the center when the window form is resized.The issue is when I maximize the the window form the command button remains in the center, but it has grown in size tremendously (almost taking up the entire form).I want to keep the command button centered when the form is maximized, but I also want to keep it the same size. Is there a property for the command button I am overlooking which will do this?

I have two DataGridView controls, with three buttons in between them vertically, in a VB 2005 form that need to be resized and moved around on a form resize.
The code below works, and does what I want. It takes the difference between the new size and the default size, splits the height difference between the two DataGridViews, and moves things around correctly.
What bugs me about it is that I've hard-coded the defaults into the ResizeEnd handler. How would I go about passing the default size so that I don't repeat myself?
Even better, is there a way to do it with anchoring, docking, and other stuff, so that I don't even need to write code?
Private Sub dlgShowAssets_ResizeEnd(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.ResizeEnd
Dim defaultWindowSize As New System.Drawing.Size(759, 619)

I have a project running in my old computer. It has panels,textboxes,labels etc. It occupies the full screen when running.I bought a new computer with a widescreen format. When I run this project it only occupies 2/3 of the screen.
What properties of the controls must I use so that I can run this program in any size computer and still occupy the full screen i.e the size is proportionately resized depending on screen size.

I have a code method that I wrote in vb6 that works on every screensize and resolution combo...however vb.net is not letting me do this. Here is what I do. upon form load at program startup I gather all of the data of the controls (height,width,top,left,font
size) prior to the form actually resizing and I store those in a listbox that is not visible. Then when the form resize is called I proportion all of the controls from their old positions versus the new form size.

First 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.

I've got a set of controls in a line inside"FollowTableLayoutPanel1", contained within "TableLayoutPanel2".I have them resizing according to the position of the mouse cursor; the closer the mouse cursor is to the vertical centre of the control, the larger the control is. Because FollowTableLayoutPanel1 has its anchor property set to "Top", it recentres itself in TableLayoutPanel2.It is possible for the recentring of FollowTableLayoutPanel1 to move a control one pixel further away from the mouse pointer, which causes the control to shrink, which causes FollowTableLayoutPanel1 to recentre, placing the control closer to the mouse pointer, which causes the control to grow,which causes FollowTableLayoutPanel1 to recentre, which moves the control further away from the mouse cursor, etc., etc., etc.The end result is that the whole setup judders and wobbles, constantly resizing.Full example code is provided below,and can be pasted directly into Form1 of a new project. Positioning the mouse cursor to correctly show the problem is left as an exercise for the reader :
Public Class Form1
Private Sub myInitializeComponent()
Me.components = New System.ComponentModel.Container
Me.TableLayoutPanel2 = New System.Windows.Forms.TableLayoutPanel[code].....

My full screen sized Form is locked in size when I reduce it in size by clicking on the "restore down" [ie] not to the minimized size. I mean "locked in size" by I cannot for instance "grab" it on a corner and to increase or decrease its size. I suspect the control is in the properties window but I cannot find it.

I want to prevent from resize of form. I set false MaximizeBox and I set FormBorderStyle to FixedSingle. I couldn't change the MaximumSize of form at runtime. If the user double click on the Tiltebar of the form the form resized. I couldn't prevent that
Then I write the following code at size changed event
If FormLoaded Then
Me.MaximizeBox = True
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
Me.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.WindowsDefaultLocation
Me.Size = InitialSize
Me.MaximizeBox = False
End If

I am writing a relatively simple "yahtzee" program. Its set up so that the user can pull up a options window and select whether they want the game to be 1 or 2 players. If the user selects 2 players id like the second players score card to become visible on the Score Card window (easy enough with the visible property) and i would like the Score Card form itself to resize it self (at run time) to allow the second players score card to fit. How do i make the form resize to fit 2 players at run time?

I have a windows forms program that I upgraded from VB 2005 to VB2010. When the program was on VB 2005 the form would resize to any monitor resolution. But since I upgraded the program to VB 2010 some of my controls are off the screen when I run my program on a 1024 x 768 screen resolution. Why is it doing that?

I used to use the following instructions to lock my form from stretching.
Me.MaximumSize = New Size(550, 550)
Me.MinimumSize = New Size(550, 550)
Then I needed to keep the Form size fixed so I used:
Me.ClientSize = New Size(625, 500)
This makes it stretchable.How can I lock the Form from re-sizing?
