VS 2008 - Make A Form Non Movable?
Mar 25, 2010
In VB6 there was a property on the form called movable that if set to false meant that the form could only be moved through code ... just wondering how i can do something like this in .net ... i don't want anything that flickers either like: vb Private Sub Form1_LocationChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.LocationChanged Me.Location = New Point(100, 100) End Sub the above flickers occasionally when the form is moved

How can i best make a movable widget within a windows form application? I wanted a area inside the form where the widgets can be placed / moved, i was thinking something like Windows desktop gadgets, where you can move them around and add/remove them. i was thinking of using a group box to contain each individual widget (notepad, time, calc ect) and a flow layout panel to contain and move all of the widgets.
Also i was hoping there would be a way to actually have icons to press which place the widgets into the flow layout panel.

Okay, what I want to do is snap a movable panel to the form, like create a virtual grid kind of thing. The panels can be moved with the mouse and stop moving once the left mouse key is released.For the movable panel I have used a Class, it creates an object called NewComp in the toolbox.
Public Class NewComp
Inherits Panel
Public Sub New()

I have a form that I want to have a control box so you can close it at any time but I don't want it to be movable from its origainal position. It opens maximized and I want it to stay maximized. I've tried all the different FromBorderStyle options in properties and I've tried all the SizeGripStyle properties though I can't say I've tried all the combinations possible between those two but whatever I've tried I can always click on the border at the top and then the form breaks free from its starting position and when it does the vertical scroll bar disappears.
How can I have this form stay in place with the vertical scroll bar and the control box and not break free from its starting position if someone clicks on the border at the top? If I try FromBorderStyle None then I don't have control box to close it. I was looking at the form events list and I noticed when I break the form free by clicking on the border that that is a ClientSizeChanged event.

TabMenu.Controls.Add(btnOrder)
'btnOrder.Parent = Me.TabMenu
'btnOrder.Location = New Point(300, vertloc + 20)
'btnOrder.Text = "Order"
'btnOrder.Name = intCount.ToString & "OrderButton"
So I have my program make buttons similar to the above, I'm going to have a button created at the point were the cursor is, as long as the location is a valid one. Now I have two questions.
1) I want to use the following code to be able to move around any of the new buttons that I place down on the form.
' a quick TY to Ronald_Hare here on the forums for posting this little snippet, as it does exactly what I want.
Private oControlOffsetPoint As Point
Private Sub Button_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
[Code].....
2) I also want to be able to change the back color of the button based on a number of boolean flags I will be setting. Is any of this possible without completely mangling things? I'm hoping there are some easy options for setting a button made on runtime to use a number of premade subs or functions.
On a side note: This does not need to be exclusively a button. a picturebox or a text box would probably work just as well for what I want to do, but I like the look I can get with the button atm.

I am trying to create TextBoxes and RichTextBoxes that can be moved and resized durig runtime as part of a program that makes/edits media-slides for online learning. The textboxes can currently be moved and resized by filling out the values for Top, Left, Height and Width on "property sheets", a method I would like to change into something a little bit more user-friendly
I created a user control with besides the TextBox or RichTextBox 3 objects to control the moving.I have currently added 3 panels to try to use for this purpose.I have written all the code to resize the TextBox when my new control is resized and when theMoveAndResizeHandles are set to be visible.The resize panels are currently 10 points x 10 points (easy to change because the 10 points are defined in a constant) and located top left above and bottom right under the textbox. The panel to resize is located next to top-left panel and has the width of the textbox - 10 pixels
My question at this point is: were Panels an appropriate choice or is there a more fitting way to do this?
-and-
Which events should I use to check for movement and resizing of the control? I would start looking into "dragging and dropping" as event, but I have as yet no idea wether this will work and what the gotcha's will be in my approach.

I'm trying to make a simple game, but i have a question.i have a minimum damage and maximum damage lbl boxes on 1 form and i have a button if clicked it opens a 2nd form with buttons that deal "damage" when clicked
1. Attack (a regular attack that would deal the damage from form 1)
2. another attack ( this deals damage from form1 + 8)
3. another attack ( deals 30% damage for 4 attacks [so 4 attacks that deals 30% damage each])
4. another attack ( this one is great. it deals damage of 2 times of minimum damage to maximum damage and a third label box lblAP (attack power) which each 2 points of attack power you have it adds 1 more damage.)
i can do that math i just have no clue how to bring the info from form 1 to form 2.

My project is similar to JM's Manipulating GDI+ Drawings and NickThissen's Shape Editor. I haven't used their code though, I've written my own similar code. My shapes are custom controls.
All the shapes are working fine. But I'm having trouble with line control.
1. I've tried my own line control. But to resize/move I need to write separate code. The common code that works for all other shapes is not working.
2. I've tried VB Powerpack 3 Line Control,but moving/resizing it in runtime is too much complicated. It is NOT a real control. (I guess) It is directly drawn over a "ShapeContainer" control. So, i have to write custom code for this too.

I'm recently tried to make a custom tabcontrol that able to move the tab to left or right...
But there's a problem, I'm don't know how to get the tab's item width... What I get with TabControl1.SelectedTab.Bounds.Width is the tabpage's width, not tab item's width...
I need to get tab item's width to know if the selected tab had to be stay, or move left, or move right, when the mouse is moving and holding...
For an example, if the cursor pressed and holding Tabpage1, and it move to Tabpage2, then the Tabpage1 should be move right...
If I can get the tab item's width, then I can know the cursor is on which tab by mathematics... Or if can, I want to get the tab that on the cursor directly...

here is the deal, imagine that i've a fullscreen form, and when clicking on a button, it will create a new control, a control that could be selected and moved. I know that they are dynamic controls, but anyone know how to make them with the specific things i've said? A kind of dynamic controls allowing drag & drop to another position.

I'm redoing a program I made up a while back and need some help changing a loop. The original program had all the text boxes on same form, the redesigned program still has them all on the same form but I have them spread across multiple tabs and the background of the form.
The code below loops through each possible text box and if it exists sets the value in an array. This only works for text boxes not on tabs. I found I could change the Me.Controls to TabPage1.Controls and that would get the text boxes on tabpage1. I would like to have a single loop that can find them on any tab and off the tabs, so I don't need three separate loops.
For num = 1 To 61
For Each controlctl In Me.Controls
If controlctl.Name = "TextBox" & CStr(num) Then
