VS 2008 Starting Position Of Form?
Jul 7, 2011
I have a "Please Wait..." form that I show when doing some long task. This works quite well. But I cannot seem to control the opening position of the form. Currently I am using:
WaitWindow.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent
WaitWindow.Show()
and this is just being ignored. The window opens at random locations. If I change it to CenterScreen, that works! But I don't want it center screen, I want it centered on the parent. Can I manually set the location? I am using VB 2008 Express and the wait form is a plain windows form.

I am trying to set a form position before it shows but i cant get it working.Form Name: ColorCentraling.vb
I've tried: Private Sub ClickNPC_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ClickNPC.Tick
[Code]...
are 2 integers which represent a number which does not need to be explained.There i've made a DIM as the form but new! I've tried settings its location but its not possible for me.I know this is possible because: I've visited many VB.NET 2008 Programs that do this

Ok so my main form takes around 5 seconds to load i can't make it so that my load subs are on a seperate thread because too many cross thread calls being made besides i want a splash screen anyway i want a splash screen on a seperate thread that can update status while main thread is loading this way main thread carries the load subs and invokes status label changes in the splash form which is on another thread
this is my code
Dim SPForm As SplashForm
Public Sub LoaderSub(ByVal Splashed As Boolean)
If Splashed = False Then
[Code]...
what happens is the splash form shows and so does the main form but they both lag for 5 seconds (as if they are both on main thread) how do i make it so that the splash form loads from the new thread? I thought the way i did it that's what should happen...
EDIT: also why did code wraps failed to show proper vb code?

I have a Parent form that loads a child form and I only want to allow one instance of the child form. I have this on the button to open the form. Stepping through the code with the debugger it "appears" to work OK when the form is open (I say appears because nothing changes) but when the form is closed it doesn't open as I would expect. What am I missing?

I have two forms: Main and Options.Main can be moved around the screen (like a normal window).When the user clicks a button, the Options form opens up and the Main form HIDES.How do I set the Options form to open in the exact place that the Main form was last on the screen (to give it the effect the MAIN form never went into hidding)I was thinking to set Option form's StartPosition to Main's current position, but I don't know the syntax for that or if it's even something you can do.

I 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.

Basically I want to move my mouse to the coords that is received based on the location of a certain coloured pixel. I can get the coords of the pixel but when using them on mouse position, the mouse position is based on the entire screen rather than the form. How could I change the position coords based on the form rather than the entire screen. E.G. If a certain coloured pixel is 2,2 in a form and I put that as the mouse position, it would go outside the form but I dont want that. I want it to hover of the pixel coords
This is my
Dim bmp As Bitmap = DirectCast(PictureBox1.Image, Bitmap)
For x As Integer = 0 To bmp.Width - 1
For y As Integer = 0 To bmp.Height - 1
If bmp.GetPixel(x, y) = (Color.FromArgb(108, 90, 60)) Then
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position =
End If
Next
Next

I've made a project with a menu.This menu is placed in a form which i use as a MDI Parent, and all the other forms are opend in this parent form.Everything works ok.
When I open a menu item (eg form A), the form display's correctly.But when I minimize the procject to the taskbar, and maximize it again, Form A shifted position a bit lower.
I can't figure out what's going on.

I'm a bit confused when it comes to setting the start location of a form, relative to another form.I know how to set the start location for a form, however, I have a "main" form, which is behind this form. The main form will be displaying different images, labels, ect. I need the second form to display at the bottom of the main form. The main form's resolution is 800x600, and the bottom form is 800x65. I tried to set the bottom form's location to 0,535, which WOULD make it right at the bottom of the main form, but it seems that it puts it at that location relative to the user's display resolution.So basically, I just need help with getting this form to appear at the bottom of the main form. I read a bit about "containers", but am not sure exactly if they would work for this, and if they did, how exactly I would incorporate them into my situation.

I need to make a button invisible at the start up of a VB form. However, when text is entered into an input textbox the button needs to become visible without a click event procedure. When the button to enter the text from the textbox into an array is clicked the button needs to become invisible again unitl more text is entered into the box, repeating the cycle. I have found related topics but they don't cover this.

I want to link sql server and vb.net (ADO.NET) . I'm using visual basic 2008 express edition and sql server management studio.
My problem is how to perform a search starting from the completion of a form (in vb.net ). On pressing the button search it verifies if the records are in the table (in my case FoaieParcursMasina).
SQL Server:
Step1: Create the table and insert into them the values (full DDL):
-- creating the table FoaieParcursMasina
CREATE TABLE FoaieParcursMasina

In my software course, each time we submit an assignment, we have to include a document with the starting properties of each object in a form.
E.g.
TextBox1
Location: 241, 115
Name: TextBox1
Size: 100, 20
TabIndex: 0
It's a real pain to scroll through the properties viewer and copy and paste each customised value for 30+ objects on a form... I was wondering if there'd be an easy piece of code or way about getting an (at least partially) automated printout/view of all the properties of the objects.
Was thinking some sort of private sub I could past into the bottom of the program and run on load, that gets all objects, and outputs the non-default properties to a report or something?

The arguement -new is not being passed and the window that shows the website will open if no other windows are open. However, if any other windows are open, the last opened window gets the website.I have IE6 on my system.

I have created a setup project that after the installation, starts the app that is being installed. To do that I have added an Installer class to the app I want to get started and I am using it's commited event to start the app (Process.Start("...myapp.exe").
While this works fine on XP, on Windows Vista the application gets started as a "System" user which makes some parts of the app missbehave i.e. retreiving special folders of the user etc...
This is the question: way to start myapp as the logged in user? Mind you I will not have the credentials of the users.

I�ve had a problem iwht my app for some time now. It�s very slow and above all it takes forever to startup. I�ve been adressing som issues that has to do with the database behind it.Recently I noticed that the app is starting an instance of excel, which seems to be what�s taking it so long in the starting process. The app is using access as db, and the db has some linked excelsheets. The app is also running some code in excel, but it�s starting, and terrminating, separate instances for that.The linked excelsheets are also "live-linked" to another app (third party), fetching real time data via DDE I think.
