VS 2010 Combo Box And Text Box Vertical Alignment?
Feb 7, 2011
vb.net 2010 development environment, Windows XP.
My application displays a data entry screen consisting of rows and columns of text boxes and combo boxes.
Photo attached.
all the controls are created and placed on the form in code.
On a Windows XP machine (where the application is developed) all the controls line up perfectly. However, on a new Windows 7 machine, the result is as pictured in the attached photo. It seems that the combo boxes are slightly taller than the text boxes.
I have adjusted the .height property of the combo boxes, as well as text boxes, but to no avail.
Both the XP machine and the Win7 machine have different screen resolutions. Is that a possibility, and if so, is there a way to size the controls in a resolution-independent way?

On my form I have a Combo Box with long text strings. These are accomodated fine by DropDownWidth property. However, when an item is selected from the list, it appears aligned to the Left not the Right as I would expect.

I might be coming up with a few dumb questions over the next few weeks because I am trying to push myself to learn VB 2008. So I think this is the first.I have figured out how to get a datareader to pull data from a MySQL database, pass it from a module back to my form, but when I try to put it in a combobox, the text is always left-aligned. I had never thought about this before because I think I have only ever put text in one before in VB6. However, this time it is numeric and left aligned numerics don't line up well when the numbers look like
1000
2500
20000

I can find lots of examples of rotated text on graphics objects on a Google search, but I want to create a vertical caption but with normal letter orientation, something like this:
C
A
P
T
I
O
N
but with sensible spacing and alignment. I can't seem to get my search terms right to find a suitable example. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I have a combo box on a form that is set to certain width. The data the combo varies and can be quite large. Is there a way that the combo box could be expanded to fit the widest data/text when the Combo is selected?It would be quite neat if it pop out of the form when selected! I guess I could create this effect by creating another form that opens when when that object is selected.

I have a Form with a Tab control on it, one of the fields is the Apartment number which is a Combobox. It is displaying properly, however since it sits on one of the tabs when you scroll through the records its hard to remember what tenant you are dealing with.
I have a label on the top of the screen that shows the Tenant First/Last Name.
I also want to at what Apartment Number they are looking at.
I currently am trying this: I have also tried:
SelectedItem
SelectedText
SelectedValue
Column 0 of my combobox is the ID and Column 1 is the Text description.

Trying to build my credits menu for a finished piece of software but I can't get the text to auto correct its self and auto align its self. Basically I want it to align its self after each cycle or rotation/tick. The text needs to be centered in the form.
Private Sub CreditCycler_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CreditCycler.Tick
If Cycle = 1 Then
txtTitle.Text = "Created by"
txtName.Text = "UOK Software"

I don't understand why my Label and Text controls are aligned when placed on a winform in design mode, but when I run the application the Label and text controls are uneven and spreaded apart. I using VB .Net 2008.
I tried adjusting the TextAlign property on the label control but the problem still exist.

I have a wrapper class created around TextBox, and I want to find out if there is any way to test if the vertical scroll bar is at the beginning (the very top) of the text box and at the very end of the text box.Alternatively, I will be happy if only I can find out a way to check if a scroll bar is enabled or not in a textbox (note: it's not a RichTextbox).
By enabled, I mean that scroll bar is actually enabled i.e. you can use the scroll bar to scroll the control, not just visible (I know we can check visibility by GetWindowLong)

How to use a databound combo box to display one field in the drop down, and another as the combo box text on roll up? Using VS 2005... For example, I have a datatable that has 2 fields. One called "ShortDesc" and one called "LongDesc". I want to be able to see the "LongDesc" column values in the drop down on the combo box. When I make a selection, I want the text in the combo box to read the corresponding "ShortDesc" value.

In VB10/win forms project, when I change the forms font size the form and all the controls on the form get larger or smaller, OK great! The problem is the combo boxes then appear with their text highlighted. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong, simple example..

My rich text box overflows with output during execution, thus activating a vertical scroll bar. When the program ends the created text box information disappears.I have tried a message box prior to exiting the program to stop execution but then nothing responds until the message box is A instruction doesn�t accomplish my goal either. I see nothing in the text box properties window which looks like it would do the trick and no luck with Googling for info so far.

I would like to have the tabs on my TabControl displayed on the left, or sometimes right. Unlike the System.Windows.Forms.TabControl, however, I would like the text to remain horizontal instead of being rotated by 90 or 270 degrees to the horizontal. Here are a couple of pictures illustrating the concept. Though I could write code to do this myself in about an hour or two, I just thought I'd ask first if there is any existing Winforms control that implements such feature.

I'm using the following calls in a vertical label control: (borrowed from another project)[code]But if any of the text characters are a V or W there are funny jagged artifacts in those letter's angled lines. Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried looking up anti-aliasing etc.. but aside from changing the smoothing mode to antialias I couldn't find anything (changing this doesn't help a bit)

I'm using a vertical trackbar. I got it all set: minimum and maximum values, tickfrequency etc... and so on... everything works great. The only problem is that I would like to have the minimum value of the trackbar on the top. In horizontal trackabar you can choose the RightToLeft property to put the minimum value to the left or to the right, but how do I make it to put the minimum value on the top if I have it in vertical orientation? There has to be a way to somehow "flip" it... but how?
Here is a link to video on youtube, which show my problem. I want it to be the other way round - from top to bottom: [URL]

I have an application that makes a drawing with measurements both horisontal and vertical. I like to get the vertical measurements to be in direction down-up, not up-down direction as StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical does. All the measuretexts are drawn to a graphics path. Because that path includes all measures at different locations I can´t TransformRotate that path, the text should be rotated before it is passed to the graphics path, or ? It would be so nice if it would be a StringFormatFlags.DirectionVerticalUp to handle it.

I'm working on a VB.NET application using VS2010 for an application that will run on a touch-screen. I have a problem with a mutli-line text boxes, ListBoxes and DataGridView controls which contains a vertical scroll bar. The scroll bar is too small for anyone with big fingers. Is there any way to make that scroll bar wider so that it's more "finger friendly"?

I'm trying to use one project as a reference for writing another project, and I want to see as much code as I can from that project on another monitor. Since Code is only so wide (assuming you break-lines), I have a lot of wasted horizontal space. Is there any way in the IDE to do a vertical split of a class code window? I know you can do a horizontal split, but although that shows you two sections of code at once, it doesn't increase the amount of code you see, because it sacrifices one code's space for another.

With no answers from Google and not finding the answers by searching, just curious as you were to go about simply giving a ListBox a horizontal scroller once it passes its visible border the same as the vertical does?

I want to type the characters from right to left (to behave as a right alignment). But I am not supposed to use the Right Alignment property or the RighttoLeft property of a text box.For example, I want to enter the characters of a string from right and each character should shift one space left so that the user can enter another character after that.

I need to to able to save multiple text-boxes and a combo-box to a text file. the thing is, when I go to save, I check out the .txt file manually and its saved all in one line, no spaces. when I go to "read" it with the 2nd part (<-----this is a 2 part Challenge) it even reads all from that one line in the text file. What i'm asking is how can I make my text-boxes saved in the text file on different lines. [Code]
