View 1 RepliesVS 2008 [RESOLVED] Maximizing Forms 100%
View 1 RepliesI have a normal form (FormBorderStyle = Sizeable). When the user maximizes the form, the form's border should disappear and fully cover the screen. Like so:
vb
Private Sub frmVideo_SizeChanged(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.SizeChanged
If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized Then
'Remove border
Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
'Bring to front
Me.TopMost = True
End If
End Sub
Problem is, when the form gets maximized and border changed to None, the form doesn't cover the whole screen. The form gets the same height as when it is maximized with a titlebar on top. So, the form is about 20 pixels too short, leaving most of the Windows taskbar uncovered. So, apparently, if the FormBorderStyle changes after the form has maximized, the change in size is not corrected. How do I change a form's size when it's maximized or how do I change the FormBorderStyle before maximization is finished?
I recently entered a VB.NET class in my school. I suddenly had an interest in it, and I decided to make something on my own. Right now, we're just working on how to switch from one form to one form [E-Z stuff, me.hide and then *formname*.show] decided to install the 2010 .NET program, and I wanted to make my own web browser. Now I'm stuck on it. e everything working, except a few minor kinks. I wanted to know how the form can be maximized once it has been opened, and, if I press the enter key, I want the URL to be what was in the text box.

I have a problem on getting the event of form maximizing. How to trigger event on form maximize BEFORE the form.size changed? here are codes that trigger AFTER size changed:
Private Const WM_SIZEAs Integer = 5
Private Const SIZE_MAXIMIZED As Integer = 2

I have an application which simply displays a sorted datatable via a datagrid and is left open but minimized most of the time. A timer is used such that each 24 hrs I want to maximize and bring to front as a reminder as such.The problem is with code it does not recognize "form1.maximize" when it is in the tray in a minnimized state. I believe the error is "No Instance"
View 1 Replieshow to maximize my form window and for example my list view, tool strip container etc etc, maximize with the form window. I would just create the form to my monitor 1440x900 but this will be used on several computers all with different monitor size. What I'm looking for is a quick easy way of doing instead of setting each one up separately.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a webbrowser in VB and i have some troubles when I debug the application.When it's debugged and i maximizing the application the interior don't follow the rest of the screen, or don't expand to same size as the rest.
And just one more question while I'm here... My application doesn't fit with a screen resolution that is smaller than 1920*1080, anything you know how to fix? :s
While the application is running, I want the buttons, text boxes, datagrid, everything thats on the form to resize when the screen is maximized and again resize when its minimized.
View 2 RepliesI am rather irritated at this. I have no clue why looping through controls on a form and in groupboxes leaves out 75% of the controls.
Here's the code I have:
Dim settings As String = ""
Dim gbControl As Control
Dim gbbox As Control
[Code]....
I want to have setting save all settings to an ini file, and not have to reprogram the saving routine when I add a group box or control. At random times, any number of controls can be disabled, checkboxes can be checked and unchecked, radiobuttons can be checked and unchecked. Regardless of the state of the control, I want the control to show up in the loop. But they don't. Only controls that are enabled and only checkboxes that are checked, every other control state is ignored. That's crap, and is definitely not what is needed by any programmer of any type. We're capable of determining if a control is enabled, hidden, checked, visible, and otherwise.
How do I get the controls to be included in the loop regardless of their state?
How many controls can I have before I should start looking at user defind controls because of too many controls making my program go slow?

View 11 RepliesWe are binding most of our text boxes and dropdown boxes to a BINDING NAVIGATOR (with a DATA SOURCE of a DATA TABLE).When the BN is clicked through the text boxes all change immediately.We need to use some non-bound controls as well.First one is 4 radio buttons that when clicked will change a single value in a DATA TABLE.What would be the best method to do this? Should I track when the CURRENTCHANGED event occurs on the BINDING NAVIGATOR.I'm thinking that I could trick this by BINDING the SINGLE FIELD to a HIDDEN TEXTBOX and when that textbox CHANGED event occurs mess with the radio buttons and visa-versa.
View 5 RepliesI have a form with MenuStrip, ToolStrip & StatusStrip. Placed a panel with a 5000 x 7000px image and scroll bars are on form and scroll the image fine. Problem is that all controls appear to have changed size to size of image and also scroll with it horizontally. When scrolling vertically, the image covers up the menu and tool strips. How I can keep the controls on top so they don't attach to the image in the panel?

View 1 RepliesI've hit a roadblock and really need help with looping through tabconrol's tabpage's, getting each tabpage's parent name and richtextbox control's text value. I have a ctabcontrol that has ctabpage tabpages, which also have Usercontrol's on the body of each tab. I developed a FindAll to search through each openned tabpage's richtextbox in the mdi parent container form. However, I cannot get the for loop to produce any values for the controls. All values are 0. The richtextbox.text value is empty. I even tried to produce a value with TabControlCollection to no avail, it shows 0 tabs in the collection even though I have 3 tabs open in the mdi parent container. How can I get the actual controls and values from other tabs so I can evaluate them in my Find tabpage functons?

If I have two instances of the same form open, and one is on top of the other and I want to go to the one on the bottom, I have to click the form to bring it to the front.. I changed this so that if i click the panel(which represents the forms background) I have it bring it to the front.. But now I am having the issue where I click a control in that panel it wont bring it to the front.. So i know how to do this.. I can make a procedure handle all the controls onclick events by typing each controls name.click event
View 33 RepliesI can't use the normal method, my controls (picture boxes) names contain numbers such as 00, 01, 02 etc which corrispond to my multidimenional array.
I'm attempting change the picturebox's values in a for loop via the counter in the loop, for example:
For i = 1 To 4
PictureBox(i).enabled = False 'Picturebox1 will be the first one(counter starts at 1)
Next
I basically need to access each one as I would with an array, I can't type the full names out, can only refer to them via their names + counter number because I don't know what control name I would be dealing with at that time in the loop.
The function below will be called from another thread. So the control themselves will have to be invoked so that the correct thread that created them can change the properties.However, as I have many controls that need to be updated. I don't really want to write all those delegates for each one. I have done one below. [code]
View 1 RepliesI have Winforms application that holds dozens of controls.Now I'm planning another functionality where I have to move some of the controls and put others instead of them.I have to let the users to choose during runtime whether they prefer ver A or Ver B (means the other controls).
I have doubts what's the best practice to replace the controls.Should I hide the controls and replace them by others in runtime? (then the form may look messy during design time)Should I place them in a panel/group box and then replace the panels? (could be problem since I have some controls that should be displayed on both situations)
I have been trying to add an SQLDataAdapter control onto a webform in Visual Basic 2008 professional and Express editions. This control and others remain greyed out even when selected; they can only be seen when 'Show All' is selected in the toolbox. Is it that these controls are not available in the type of form?
I've checked various forums but have not seen a clear answer. I've tried some of the solutions proposed but none has worked. I've also reinstalled the application; then uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, but to no avail.
I'm trying to change the look of some controls in VB.An example would be a button, I now have a stack of 4 images on top of eachother. By using the mouseover events and such, I get the same result as a normal button. However, I'd like to be able to insert those images into a normal button like thing.
I know it's possible to do this by creating a custom control, but that'd end up with the exact same code, just in a different file.
However, the real issue would be a dropdown box and slidebar. I'd like to get them to look nice with my theme. (Background, buttons, borders. Things like that..). I got absolutely no clue on how I should do that.
I know that there's a tool to create controls, but that's from scratch and I can't get a grip on it, at all.
Is this possible? Must be surely but I've tried and come up short. I've created a very basic class (person) with 2 public properties, forename, surname. My user control is databound to this class and has 2 textboxes to store the properties.
I've built the control and can add the user control to a windows form but how can I add to a new user control (Staff) which will show my 2 existing textboxes and I can add dateJoined datepicker also??
How do I set the default font for controls (VB 2008), e.g., labels, text boxes, etc. I see how to set default fonts for objects in the IDE but not how to set the default for controls I add to forms. I hope I don't have to create custom controls as this would be time-consuming.
