VS 2010 Doubleclick For Maximize And Minimize

May 13, 2010

I have a form with formborderstyle = none. I already know how to move this form and resize it. But I want to maximize the form when you double click it.

I already know:

Private Sub Form1_MouseDoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseDoubleClick
WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
End Sub

Now its maximized, but now I want it to go to the previous size, so when you double click again when maximized, the form goes back the the previous state.

Programmatically Maximize An External Application's Window?

Sep 4, 2009

I have an application right now that starts a process, then opens a file associated with that process (system.diagnostics.process.start("WM.exe")), however, the way they save, there is a window within a window. It's like in photoshop cs3 when you have many windows within the big window of the application. Right now I use an api call to findwindow which is the application itself, but within that I need to find the subwindow, of which I know the apptitle, and then I need to set its windowstate to maximized. Does anyone know how this can be done? I think there's a way to hook a handle, but how does one also maximize?

Form Minimize And Maximize Events

May 18, 2009

I am drawing graphics on the screen and when the form resizes it needs to clear and redraw all the graphics b/c the form is a different size and the graphics are supposed to scale with the size of the form. Well that works, but not for maximize or restore. So I had to look on the internet for how to capture the maximize and restore event. I got it from here and it does capture it, but it does all the events (such as redrawing the graphics) first and then it maximizes, which totally defeats the purpose. I tried to do Application. DoEvents but it still doesn't do it. Any way to have the graphics redraw AFTER it maximizes?

Code:
Private Const SC_RESTORE As Int32 = &HF120 'When a Form is Restored
Private Const SC_MINIMIZE As System.Int32 = &HF020& 'When a Form is Minimized
Private Const SC_MAXIMIZE As System.Int32 = &HF030& 'When a Form is Maximized
Private Const WM_SYSCOMMAND As System.Int32 = &H112 'Minimized/Maximized/Restore comes when we have this msg Const WM_NCLBUTTONDBLCLK As Int32 = &HA3 'When User Clicks on the Title Bar
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As Message)
[Code] .....

Customize The Minimize-Maximize-Close Buttons?

May 14, 2010

I'm building a border-less form so I can customize the Minimize-Maximize-Close buttons. I've noticed now that I can't move the form. I docked a panel up at the top of the form to replace the regular window border. I put custom Min Max Close on it. How could I program the panel to move the window like the border does with a regular window?

Menustrip Control Maximize / Minimize - Restoring On MDI Parent?

Feb 23, 2012

I have an MDI application that uses the menustrip control. When the MDI Child window is maximized, there is no way to restore its size. There's a restore on the MDI parent but that restores the entire application. However, when I use the Main menu, there are two sets of Maximize/Minimize controls, one for the MDI parent and one for the MDI Child. The Mainmenu control adds a band that is used to display the Maximize/Minimize controls but the band the menustrip creates is not used to do the same.

Maximize And Minimize Form Within A Form?

Aug 6, 2009

can't seem to figure out the solution to. I have a form within a form that works fine. However when I want to maximize the form the top of it goes behind the menu bar rather than just below it as I would expect. Also, when I minimize the form it simply minimizes and hides behind the status bar at the bottom. I've tried adjust the location coordinates, window state, start location.

VS 2010 Path For External Application?

May 3, 2011

I guess this one is pretty basic, yet i have not been able to figure out.So here's the deal, my application uses an external exe to generate some txt files that the application needs for a use case. Since hard coding the path of such exe would be hideously wrong in so many aspects i would like to include a little configuration option for the user, so he can specify the path of the external exe for the application to be used.I also would like to have something like that for the path of the Database I'm actually using.

VS 2010 - Setting Position Of External Application?

Sep 7, 2010

I'm trying to set hotkeys for all my favorite websites. When one of these hotkeys are pressed, I want it to load the assigned website in internet explorer, but I want internet explorer to load on my SECONDARY monitor. I've already set out the hotkeys to load internet explorer, but it loads on the wrong screen. How to check if an instance of IE is already running. To be a bit more specific: the secondary monitor is set to the LEFT of the primary one. And the resolution is at 1440 x 900. So basically, I want to programmatically set IE's position to (-1440, 0) from within my application itself.

VS 2010 Override Icon - Executes An External Application - Via Shell()

May 19, 2012

I have a VB application that executes an external application, via Shell().

What I want is to be able to have control over the "shortcut properties", if you will (such as icon & title), resulting in the external app being forced to use that specified icon and title for its spot in the taskbar while it is running.

A normal desktop shortcut does this easily (by editing its properties) but I don't know if it's possible to take advantage of that.

Windows :: Maximize An MDIChild Of Another Application?

Sep 4, 2009

I'm making an appication that needs to maximize the window of another application. In Spy++, the way it works is -> "Working Model - Untitled1" -> "MDICloient" -> "Untitled1"This is what the tree view looks like.I need to maximize Untitled1, but I'm not sure how. I tried findwindow "Working Model - Untitled1" and then used get and setwindowplacment for it, and it worked. Then I used findwindowex on "Untitled1" but it did not maximize. What am I doing wrong here? I'm sure mdi windows can be maximized; the "Untitled1" window itself has the 3 buttons (- + X) on the caption bar.
