VS 2008 - Setting Location And Making Form Unmovable
Oct 28, 2011
How would I make my form unmovable so you cannot drag it to move it? I also need to know how to make it always start in the same exact spot. I don't know why but it changes spots even thought the location is set: 0,0

I have a second form that loads when the main form loads. It sits behind the main form, is mainly transparent and does not allow interaction from the User.
Its as if the form is on the desktop, which is what I'm going for.
I set the location of the form to be in the top right hand corner of the desktop. On my PC, which is a 23" monitor, it works and looks great. But when I use my application on a notebook or a smaller screen, the form gets cut off. Why is obvious, because of the screen size differences.
What I want to know is how I might set the form to a more... definitive position. Rather, relative to the size of the screen.
I haven't searched much yet, but maybe there is a way to set the location of the form to a specific location of the desktop, not relative to the size of the screen.

I'm having trouble setting a form's location in the load event.
config_set = File.ReadDatabaseKey(Public_Variables.settings_radar, _
"Window Position X", Public_Variables.config, Public_Variables.config_path, 5)
If Misc.GetContainsOnlyNumbers(config_set) Then
Me.Location.X = CInt(config_set)
End If

I have a single form that I would like to move across the screen with my VB program. Of course it's simple to set the location X and Y property for compile time using the properties tab, but I want the form to move as the program runschanging the coordinates within a for-next loop.I can easily get the X and Y coordinates of the form within my program by using X = me.location where X has been dimmed as type point.console.writeline(X) will appear as {X=20, Y=40}. for example

My aim is to be able to selectwhich screen to show the video on. I have two forms, the first form (frmControl) has two buttons, Play and Stop.The second form (Player) has the embedded Media Player. Initial tests worked fine (not choosing a screen, but making the player fullscreen and playing a movie). When I add the following code to allow choosing the screen

I have a program that has a large weather map which is 1920 x 1080 resolution. The start location is (0,0). I want people who use smaller resolutions to be able to see the whole map. I would like to create a button that allows me to shift the form down or right say 10 pixels each time the button is clicked. How would I do this?

VS 2008, vb.net, Win7 development machine. I've developed a Windows application with several different forms, and am using the My.Settings feature. This is the first time that I have used this feature. For each form, I have set the form's property binding 'location' property to an entry in 'settings' of My Project settings page of the VS 2008 development environment. The settings are set to user scope.
1.) Do I need to add any code to my application to make the settings work, or is it sufficient that I have the "Save My.Settings on shutdown" set to true?
2.) When I create my setup to install the application, what settings file (app.config?) do I install to the user's machine, and what folder should it be installed to?

I'm working on the Inventory section of the project I'm working on. This particular form holds a tab control, by default it has 2 tabs one named General, and the other named "New..". When the user clicks the New tab an input box opens to collect the name for the new Department, it then changes the name of the current "New.." tab, and then adds another tab and names it "New..". This process continues until they reach their limit of departments. The problem is that when the tab gets renamed, a listview control needs to be added into the tab. Adding the new control is simple, but setting it's position as the one in the previous tab has seemed to elude me. This is what I've tried.
Private Sub TabControl1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TabControl1.Click
Dim SD As TabPage
SD = TabControl1.SelectedTab

I have a simple exe that loads a page from my site in a webbrowser where users need to enter login details to get on a secure page. Now everything works ok, except I have to use php for this and yeah cookies. So, I want to know if it's possible to set a special location for the cookies, since as some members report, they clean the cookies daily and this makes my exe "forget" that they are logged in. Any way to store cookies on same location with the exe so it won't get deleted by 3rd party tools like ccleaner or so.

We're exporting a set of data using .net interop to Excel and our template file contains some images. Depending on the amount of columns we're exporting we want to position the image X pixels left of the last column depending on the image size/width. Using the record a macro function moving the Image around is a 'no op'. Setting the Shape.Left position also won't work.

I need a check that will see the location of the edge of the form. An example would be (for what I am trying to do) is, when a form is moved, the main form will get bigger depending which border and which way the second form is going.So basically I need some way to make Form1 get bigger if Form2 is near the left border or near the bottom border.
*I have a mini system for making it grow(LocationChanged) on the form I want it to work for.
*I also know about ".left" and ".top",

in Old vb/VBA, I am accustomed to doing THIS when I instance a form object (as in "pop-up"):
Private WithEvents SomePopUpForm As Form_PopUpForm
Private Sub cmdEdit_Click()
Set SomePopUpForm = New Form_SomePopUpForm
SomePopUpFOrm.Visible = True
End Sub

Just started using the Windows Browser in one of my forms so the user can select a photo they need to load. This was surprisingly easy (This seems to be the norm in Basic, if you think it will be hard it isn't and visa versa). What I am struggling with is how to set the default location to 'Computer' rather than a disk letter and directory name. The photo is most likely to be on a card reader or Memory stick so the drive letter is likely to change.
I am guessing the command will be:
OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = ???????

I'm trying to make a Form pop up at an random place (given in a textbox). Here is my code so far:
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
Form2.Location = Textbox1.text
Form2.Visible = True End Sub
Yes i know it doesn't work. What I really need to know is how to make the txt understandable for the system.drawing.point.

I have an application that's going to be portable so it's likely the path of the database itself (access mdb file) will change so hard wiring the path in the app.config isn't practical. I would like to create a 'Settings' form for the user to enter the path (browse for would be ideal but I can figure that out later) of the database file and save it for future use with the same app. I've found a few things out there talking about creating a new app.config file alongside the original with a 'key' defined but I'm not sure how that relates to the original app.config and how it would call the new variable to make the connection.

I can't find a way to change the opacity of a mdi form within it's parent. I can change the parent form's opacity under properties, but can't change the embedded mdi form's opacity under it's properties. Opacity = 0.5 doesn't change the opacity of the mdi... works fine for the parent form. I was hoping that the embedded mdi forms functions would still be independent of the parent in order for me to change it's opacity.

How do we set a form size smaller than 132 x 38 pixels? I would prefer any native vb.net way (if possible) over use of any windows API.
