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'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
like seen on the web, with both the two following codes:
ShowWindow(Hwnd, SW_MINIMIZE)
ShowWindow(Hwnd, SW_SHOWMINIMIZED)
I can minimize without problems an EXTERNAL application window from it Hwnd.The big problem is that once minimized the application cannot be manually managed: also if I close my program, both left click or right click on the external application taskbar button don't work: I can't maximize it and I can close it only by Ctrl+Alt+Del... why?
Is it possible to have an application where form1 opens a second modal form (form2) and then allows the user to minimized form2 causing the entire application to minimize to the taskbar.(form2 is never shown in the taskbar) A simple example of this is winzip where a second modal progress window is opened which can be minimized?
View 10 RepliesI'm making a small version of Spy++ and i would like to recreate the function that finds windows by dragging your mouse over it. Now that is pretty easy but one little annoyance is some windows minimize or loose focus ect when you bring the mouse pointer over them.
I would like to know if you can stop a program from gaining focus or minimizing. And i know i can get the handles of open windows by the EnumWindows function?
I am using VS 2010 to create a Mac OSX like dock application.Everything has worked great apart from one of the key features of the dock! So what I want is:When the user clicks the minimize but on any (including external application) it minimize to the dock I have created rather than the windows Task-bar.

I am writing a little app to take over from Active Desktop as we are using Win7.
I am having problems getting my form to stay open, if the user hits the "Show Desktop" button the form minimises. I need this to stay open at all times in the back ground.
I have disbled the minimise button to stop the users using it.
how I can stop this from happening or if I use a timer to check the windows state it apears normal as it looks like the "Show Desktop" button does not actually minimise the window!
I am developing an application for the first time and need guidance.Developement Env: Visual Studio 2005 Pro, Visual Basic 2005 , Windows XPApplication Target: Windows XP & VistaI developed the application under a screen resolution of: 1680 x 1050 pixels. When the application is installed on any computer with lower resolution, my application window does not size properly and many of controls end up "messing up". How can I fix this issue?Also, I have noticed when I resize my application by dragging the bottom right-hand corner the application does not really re-size, it just gets covered. I am attaching 2 skeleton snapshots of my application below....Image before resize (1680 x 1050 pixels) Image after resize (1680 x 1050 pixels)

By this, I mean that if a line begins with a certain bit of text (for example, a line starting with <text>) then it will make the whole line red.I realise that this may not be possible with a standard textbox, so I don't mind any suggestions that need an RTF item.

View 2 RepliesI'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:

View 2 RepliesHaving 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).

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?
How I can do that in the moment that I will copy something this will paste this straight to the software?
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to make a program that takes my old records from Access and moves them to MySQL. Its supposed to take records from 3 different tables in Access to 3 different tables in MySQL. The first table is "Orders" and it sorts the ones to pull to the dataset, taxDS, by "Where Status = 'Waiting Payment' OR 'Cancelled'". Then the second table pulls its info(this is where i'm having trouble) by the "Control_Number" in the "Orders" table, so basically if the control number isnt already in the dataset its not going to pull the data into the new table "FNF Taxes".

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?

View 1 RepliesI am creating a simple shape editor, much like the Visual Studio form designer. You can create shapes, select them and move/resize them using drag handles just like in Visual Studio or most other applications (Visio, etc).
I have run into some problems trying to implement a MinimumSize property for the shapes.First of all, this is how I'm resizing the shapes. Each shape has a Resize method, accepting two integers (dx and dy) that represent how much the shape must resize by, and one 'HitStatus', which determines in which direction the resize must take place (for example, from the TopLeft, or Bottom, or BottomRight, etc..)
What it does basically is use a large Select Case statement for the hit status. In each case, it changes the Bounds property of the shape (which determines the location and size), so that it is resized:

View 2 RepliesI created a presentation which runs in kiosk mode as a PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Show. Now the problem is, that the presentation resets itself to slide one if there is no user input for 5 minutes. How do I disable this feature?
I am using Powerpoint 2010 (Version 14.0.6112.500 (32-bit))On a side note: I already found an Add-In (KioskAssistant) which enables me to increase the time before the slide is reset. But this change is only done locally for my machine and not saved into the presentation itself. So this not a sufficient enough solution if I want to ship my presentation to my client
