View 16 RepliesI have a problem with my program. I have a form with 2 buttons UP and DOWN. I use this buttons to change the size of the form. The first step works fine. If I press the down button I get MsgBox ("Go Down", vbYesNo,) if I press Yes the form resize from 300 to 600 and if I press no it stay 300. The problem is, if the form is already at 600 everytime I press the down button I get the MsgBox ("Go Down", vbYesNo,) if I press Yes it recycles it self the form goes to 300 and then back to 600 and if I press No it stays 600. What I want is if the form is already 600 and I press the down button it skips the MsgBox ("Go Down", vbYesNo,) and the form stay at 600.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub ButtonUp_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonUp.Click
Dim answer As String
If Val(TextBox1.Text) < 0 Then
answer = MsgBox("Go Up", vbYesNo, )
If answer = vbYes Then
For x = 300 To 600

How to make the form size automatic setting the size equals to the screen. or Maximize the whole form including the form components.
View 3 RepliesI have been trying to discover how to make the contents of a form expand or retract in response to moving its borders by grabbing them with the mouse, or by use of the 'Maximise' or 'Restore Down' controls.The explanation in �Help� concerning TableLayoutPanel, Panel, Anchor and Auto size doesn�t help much, especially as it I can�t get it to work.
View 7 RepliesI have a routine which allows me to expand the size of my DataGridView within a TableLayoutPanel. Effectively it repositions the DGV to the first row and first column of the TableLayoutPanel that it is in using the SetRow and SetColumn methods of the TableLAyoutPanel. Then it sets the column and row span by passing the row and column count properties of the TableLayoutPanel to the SetColumnSpan and SetRowSpan methods. It work fine. There are two buttons on the form, One expands the DGV the other returns it to its original state.
My question is, how would I set this up if I wanted to do this for all the controls in this TableLayoutPanel and/or every control on every other TableLAyoutPanel on my form. I am assuming I have to use a class as I would have to create an abundance of public variables to pass the row/colum and row/column span starting positions to.[code]....
I have this code which run at form load event:

I am trying to make a form expand from one size to another using a slider animation.
The problem is when I run it the form resizes but without the animation. I'm not sure how to use the animation when resizing the form. It works if the form is a set size and then I run the animation.
The form is borderless and starts out with a width of 11 and I want the final width to be 285.
The resize and animation are triggered by clicking on the form.
Here is the code.
Private Sub Form3_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Click
Me.Width = mintformmaxwidth

i want to make it so my toolstriptextbox will smoothly size with the form as i resize it. I tried using a timer and just say txtbox1.width = me.size.width - 100 or whatever space for the buttons and handling it for when it reaches negative numbers (with autosize off on the textbox) but its not at all smooth.
View 4 RepliesI'm using VB.net 2005 to code an application that will be a used as a "digital sign" to report factory production levels and will be displayed on a 55 inch wide screen LCD TV/display. So I am putting my controls in a TableLayoutPanel control so they will expand to use the whole TV screen and can be view from a distance. (I have my FormBorderStyle = None and WindowState = Maximized.) My Form is set to AutoSize = True and AutoSizeMode = GrowOnly. My TableLayoutPanel AutoSize = True, AutoSizeMode = GrowOnly, and Dock = Fill. I'm using Label controls to display the text on the display and they are set to AutoSize = False and Dock = Fill. When I run the app. the Gauge control expands on my 19" monitor like it should, but none of the Label Text expand. How do I get the Labels to enlarge / Fill there area? Is that not possible?

I need to figure out how to change the font of one line and then change it to another on a second line. I tried something like this:

I'm searching for a way to change the font size of selected text in a RichTextBox (rtf) having different font families (e.g. Arial and MS SansSerif) and font styles (underline, bold...) using the FontDialog, but without changing the families and styles.

Now this program will only be used on systems that I produce, and send out. I need to make sure that for any monitor that these people use it will always be at the standard resolution of 1440 x 900..
I have tried setting up profiles with catalyst control panel, but if you plug in a different monitor to the one that was plugged in when you made the profile it wont recognise the screen and the system wont run properly.
So I wanna see if I can change the resolutions of the screen that will be plugged in the monitor slot and also if possible make sure the other extended screen should there resolution of 1024 x 768..how much control can you get over the monitors that are plugged in?
I'm new to VB in Visual Studio 2008 and am just trying out some simple test.I just want to change the Font & Boldness of some text but get the following errorProperty 'Size' is Read onlyI have been browsing the forums and it seems that changing the font size etc isn't as simple as
TextBox.Font.Size = 12
TextBox.Font.Bold = True
Is this true, and if so what do I need to do
I developed a form application on my computer, but when it was used in another computer with different screen size, i was told the form didn't fit. Do I have to adjust the form size or any other ways to let the form compatible on different screen size? (could be different screen size or wide screen)

If I re-size the form, the textbox inside should be re-sized to fit the form, NOT DOCK!

View 3 RepliesI have a button that when the user clicks slides a GroupBox out. I intend to start with the groupbox hidden and with a width of one and when the button is clicked to make the GroupBox visible and increase the width with a for.. to.. next counter.
However when I run the code all that happens when the button is clicked is after a short time the groupbox appears full size. So the program doesn't "refresh" the view of the GroupBox while the for..next statement is looping.
How can I make the GroupBox expand smoothly and visibly?
