View 1 RepliesHorizontal Text Scroller In Label?
Aug 31, 2011For some reason I can't get this to work, even though it's very simple.
[Code]...
When I change the label1.text to "qsfqsdfqsfqsdfqsfqsdfqsfqsdf" everything works fine and it scrolls character per character. But when I change the label1.text to "qsfqsdf qsfqsdf qsfqsdf qsfqsdf" my simple scroller scrolls word per word. I know it must be something really small, but I can't figure it out.
Setting Horizontal Scrollbar And Updating Label Based On Selection?

VS 2005 Form Not Centering?
Nov 20, 2009I was writing an application that draws a bunch of random lines on a form with the mouse move event. I set the windows start position property of the form to center screen, but no matter what I did the form would appear in the windows default position. After around 30 minutes of cutting code and trying to paste it into new projects, it still wouldn't center the form. I finally gave up trying to center the form by setting the form property, so I changed it to manual and wrote code that centered the form horizontally, and around 50 pixels from the top edge and the code worked. Has any one else had this experience with VS 2005 proffesional?It was really bugging me for some reason.

Resizing The Size Of Second Form And Centering It
Sep 3, 2011For example I have Form 1 with 1 button, if I press that button a small form will pop out (This form is smaller than form 1, lets call it form 2). My problem is I want that if I press the button in form 1 it will show form 2 then adjusting the size of it and centering it.
I coded the Form 1 that it will send a string Extra_Background_Form.Label1.Text = "a" to form 2 then it will load form 2
totality of code in form 1:
Extra_Background_Form.Label1.Text = "a"
Extra_Background_Form.Show()

VS 2008 - Centering Windows Form From Module
May 4, 2009I have a project that calls for just a ton of forms and I'd like them all centered on screen. Any way to call this in a module? Just trying to minimize the code necessary for each form. This is the basic centering I use now, only it's in each form_load.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim xLoc As Integer = (Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width - Me.Width) 2
Dim yLoc As Integer = (Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height - Me.Height) 2
Me.Location = New Point(xLoc, yLoc)
End Sub
Centering (Perfectly) Dynamically Created Buttons On Form?
Jul 31, 2011I am currently developing a simple menu application that has a control array of buttons and I am having a hard time with re-sizing the form and centering the buttons. These buttons are created at compile time (with parameters from an INI file) and my current centering algorithm seems to slightly set them to the right. I am using the "button.location = new Point(...,...)" method but after reading about this it says the values locate the buttons left upper corner rather than center, thus accounting for the slight offset to the right.
My two questions are this:
How can I perfectly center these buttons at compile time? I have tried accounting for the difference by subtracting half of the button's width but the button width and point properties seem to be incompatible and the button gets heavily offset.
And... my other goal for re-sizing the menu is to have the buttons perfectly expand and contract when being re-sized. It seems as though anchoring is ineffective when the buttons are created dynamically so I have been forced to write ratio algorithms... Is there a way to get anchoring to work?
Here's what I have in the load up :
MyControlArray(i).Location = New Point(CInt(((Width - ButtonWidth) / 2) +_
(ButtonWidth / 2)), CInt((Height - MyControlArray(i).Height) / 2))
I have already tried:
New Point(CInt(((Width - ButtonWidth) / 2)), CInt((Height - MyControlArray(i).Height)_
/ 2))

May 29, 2011What is the point of the max value of a scrollbar when it can't be attained? I put a horizontal scroll bar on a form and set the maximum value dynamically.

So what is the point of the maximum value if it can't be attained?

VS 2008 Centering Custom Control In Panel?
Dec 22, 2009I created a custom control and I'm trying to insert it into a panel, but also center it.The control itself is larger than the panel, so I've set the AutoScroll property of the panel to True. I think that might be affecting it. Perhaps I should just offset the Y axis a bit.But, either way, this is what I'm trying:

It works just fine with the X axis, but the control is out of bounds vertically. About 1-2 inches of the top is cut off.
