Was just wondering if there is a way to set the location and size of a form in the same line ... as i have a form that takes a little while to resize all components ... and when u tween the form's location and size at the same time it chunks as it sizes.
View 1 RepliesI have the following code inside my MDI parent form:For Each crl As Control In me.Controls
crl.?????
Next
The code mainly used for getting some info from all child forms.I can get all the general property like size, location by crl.size or crl.location. But if all the forms have an own variable like myTxt. How could I get this own variable by this For Each method?
I have been searching for a solution to this but I can't find one. I have played with the anchor and dock properties but they are not doing what I want, so here goes... I would like to place and size all of my controls on my form and then when the form is re-sized during run time (different resolutions, full screen/windowed, etc), have everything just scale up or down accordingly. Anchoring the controls to all four sides of my form re-sizes the control properly but it doesn't move it's location in sync with the other control's size next to it, they begin to overlap each other. Am I going to have to code my own scaling code for each control in my program?
View 5 RepliesI have 2 group box components and both are same size,font,location and visible is false. When i click button2, the groupbox1 won't appear(the group box2 is on bottom n group box1 is on top).
Example:
button1
groupbox1.visible=false
groupbox2.visible=true
button2
groupbox1.visible=true
groupbox2.visible=false
Because i want to show the different,so the location have a little different(actually both are same location). I think my code is no problem. The problem i guess is both component cannot locate at same location?
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)
View 2 RepliesSo that's how I want it:
If I re-size the form, the textbox inside should be re-sized to fit the form, NOT DOCK!
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:
VB.NET
rtbSettings.Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 18.0F, FontStyle.Regular) rtbSettings.Text = "Test Header" & Environment.NewLine & Environment.NewLine
[code].....
[code]The two Location lines throw errors but the Text line works fine. I've played around with this until I'm blue in the face but can't get it to compile.

View 3 RepliesI save the size of a form to a variable (One Size or two Integer variables--doesn't matter), and then I close the form. Before reopening the form, I set the form size to the size I saved before--which by all accounts of logic and reason should exactly the same. Except, no, it's not. On one system the form "grows" horizontally and vertically by 15 or 16 pixels. On another system the form grows only vertically 15 or 16 pixels. I'd love for someone to explain this perfectly insane, yet MS typical, behavior to me.

View 2 Repliesim toying with an idea based round having controls end user movable at runtime, and having a function to save the current position/location of all the controls, so then i can skip through presets i already made as it were. Ill be using .ini files eventually (just testing with txt files to check it was a valid aproach) I can get all the info i need into the txt file, the problem is how to read it back into the app?

I was using this old method of creating a bunch of rectangles when I need to get the location of a certain point within a grid so I could draw images on the grid. The thing is, I don't want to use rectangles, I want to be able to just round the location as if I were using rectangles. I need it to be able to round the point (66,70) to (50,50) so if you can imagine a grid and the mouse position being within that square in the grid, I need to get the location of the upper left corner of that square.

View 1 RepliesI 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.
