VS 2010 Resizing An Embedded Form?
Mar 23, 2011
I have a Form (Form1) that contains a Panel inside the form. Inside that panel I want to load another form (Form2). This all works fine, however when I resize Form1 I want Form2 to resize aswell. The panel resizes fine but Form2 will not resize. Here is the code for Form1
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code].....
Is there some sort of setting I am missing to be able to achieve this or is it not possible?

Having a bit of a nightmare with my application. I have developed my application in 1366 x 768. When moving onto other resolutions, the form looks totally wrong. Is there a way to have the application force itself to open up in a box that will fit the screen?(I'm more than happy to pay someone today or tomorrow who could look at making sure that my form gracefully up / down scales). This really is pretty urgent in that respect. If you have the ability to gracefully scale a form up / down and can do so for me either today or tomorrow, let me know of your price. (Possibly a bit naughty to pop this into the forums but I am willing to pay to get this sorted asap).

Where is the best place to resize a control on a form when a form is resized?....I'm currently using the Form1_SizeChanged event and seems to work ok. Also is there any need to check in the forms resize event if the form is in a minimized state before resizing controls?.,.. in VB6 if you try to resize a control when the form is minimized you get an error, but I don't see that happening in BV10 Form1_SizeChanged event, does VB10 automatically ignore resizing controls when a form is minimized or something?

My full screen sized Form is locked in size when I reduce it in size by clicking on the "restore down" [ie] not to the minimized size. I mean "locked in size" by I cannot for instance "grab" it on a corner and to increase or decrease its size. I suspect the control is in the properties window but I cannot find it.

I want to prevent from resize of form. I set false MaximizeBox and I set FormBorderStyle to FixedSingle. I couldn't change the MaximumSize of form at runtime. If the user double click on the Tiltebar of the form the form resized. I couldn't prevent that
Then I write the following code at size changed event
If FormLoaded Then
Me.MaximizeBox = True
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
Me.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.WindowsDefaultLocation
Me.Size = InitialSize
Me.MaximizeBox = False
End If

I am writing a relatively simple "yahtzee" program. Its set up so that the user can pull up a options window and select whether they want the game to be 1 or 2 players. If the user selects 2 players id like the second players score card to become visible on the Score Card window (easy enough with the visible property) and i would like the Score Card form itself to resize it self (at run time) to allow the second players score card to fit. How do i make the form resize to fit 2 players at run time?

I have a windows forms program that I upgraded from VB 2005 to VB2010. When the program was on VB 2005 the form would resize to any monitor resolution. But since I upgraded the program to VB 2010 some of my controls are off the screen when I run my program on a 1024 x 768 screen resolution. Why is it doing that?

I used to use the following instructions to lock my form from stretching.
Me.MaximumSize = New Size(550, 550)
Me.MinimumSize = New Size(550, 550)
Then I needed to keep the Form size fixed so I used:
Me.ClientSize = New Size(625, 500)
This makes it stretchable.How can I lock the Form from re-sizing?

I am using vb 2010 and I have a question about anchor. I have two panels side by side, I anchored them both: top, left, right. But when I resize it the left panel goes behind the right panel. Isn't there a way so that when I resize, both panels grow parallel?

I have a DLL of a VB 6 Project that has one class and a form. The form is called from that class when its constructor is called. I made a DLL from the project, add that DLL is in my .NET project references. Now when I call that class DLL it gives the following error:
Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {4E44E1A1-391D-4846-B733-2618249FE35A} from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error: 800a0196.
Which means the form is not opening.

I am in the process of creating an all-in-one application for my own purposes. This application has panels with different "Mini-apps" inside of each. Timer, Notepad, Calculator, etc... The top of the application is a drop down menu and each of the drop downs has "Minimize" and "Maximize" for the appropriate application. When the minimize function for a "mini-app" is clicked, then that application is not visible. When maximize is clicked, the the application reappears.What I am attempting to accomplish is that when, for example, the two lower panels are minimized then the form resizes to only show the top two application.Basically, its like rows. If the two bottom are not visible, then the application should resize to fit nicer. An example of this type of application would be Windows Calculator (found in Windows 7 systems and probably other OS).[code]

I have a form that has group boxes of various controls for data input. One of the group boxes contains a user control. This user control can be 1 of 7 I have depending on the type of data I wish my user to load. The 7 user controls are all of various size. My form is a fixed size, and i have allowed room for the user control to fit the largest. However, the smallest one has a lot of space obviously. The resizing of the form itself I am struggling with. It has to be the size it is at now as there is a tab control,

For 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()
AdminForm.ShowDialog()

I have a form that sits on the user's desktop. It's only purpose is to display specific information about the computer. The layout is basically setup like this:
[Code]...
I want to be able to give the user the option to display whatever data they choose. In doing so, I'd like the form to resize itself based on the how many labels are in the form and for the labels to align vertically.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? For the form, I was thinking I could get the location of the last label and offset it's size by the location, or something similar.

developed my app on a Vista laptop and deployed it on an XP desktop. When deployed the Form and even some controls are resized so text and portions of controls are not visible.Next I moved the project files and VB to the XP desktop and published the application on that machine. Same result, in fact the sizes were changed within the properties of the forms and controls within the project files

I've set every setting I could find on the DataGridView to a specific font size however when the form it resides on loads I step through the code and put my cursor over the DataGridView1.Font.Size and it always shows 8.25 (I've set everything to 18).
What I'm trying to do is resize the DGV on load of the form to a percentage based on the size of the form relative to the size of the screen. Everything else on all of my other forms are resizing correctly but the DGV is not.
Here is the designer generated code for property reference:
vb.net
'DataGridView1
'
Me.DataGridView1.AllowUserToAddRows = False

I have a datagrid and load data from a database in and can't find thesolution for a couple of propblems..
1) The columns from the DB is loaded in to the datagrid but the width of each column is very small and needs resizing to view all data everytime it loads. Can I programmically make the colums show wider annd fill the datagrid?
2) I load the columns using SELECT col1,col2,col3 from table; then load that in to the datagrid. col1 is a primary key so has to be loaded as I perform an update of edited data at the end. Can I somehow hide col1 so it does not show in the datagrid?

I am trying to add a docking form to my application. I have a good program going so far but I am trying to create a minimize to dock feature in which it minimizes to another form (basically hides one and shows the other). I am working on a 23" monitor but I want this to work on all computers. So what I am looking for is a form that three buttons...left, top, right. When the left button is clicked it will dock the window to that side of the screen and fill all of the space from top to bottom with a width of 200 or so. The second button "top" will dock it to the top of the screen and expand the width to the width of the screen it is on. And a height of 200. And the third button "right" will do the same as the left but will put it on the right side. Also is it possible to reserve that side of the screen. (move all icons on the desktop from behind it to the side of it.
