Setting The Location Of A Second Form?

Aug 4, 2009

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.

Setting Form Location Property Within Program?

Feb 9, 2010

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

Setting Form Bounding Location Property To Entry

Feb 25, 2011

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?

Setting Location Of ListView?

Sep 14, 2011

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

WebBrowser - Setting Special Location For Cookies

Feb 5, 2012

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.

VS 2010 - Setting Default Location To Computer For Loading Photo

Dec 9, 2011

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 = ???????

VS 2008 - Setting Database Path From Form?

May 18, 2009

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.

VS 2008 - Setting Mdi Form's Opacity Within Parent

Feb 26, 2011

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.
