The Window Layout setting seems to have gone away in VS 2010. I'd rather my environment default to Multiple Documents. I really can't stand Tabbed. Tabs are good for browsers and cell phones, but not so good for a programming IDE.

View 9 Replieshow do i change the layout of the web form to Grid Layout so that i can place my control anywhere and not follwing lines or cursor
View 1 RepliesThis is kind of an off-the-wall question but does anyone know if VS 2010 has somekind of utility that will allow you to just drag & drop controls onto a form or something that will help in visual design. I'm just talking for visual purposes only. No code-behind files or anything...almost like a canvas where you can place controls and labels, etc.
View 8 RepliesSo when I make changes to my form in VS2010 professional (writing in VB.net) and hit debug, the instance of my form that pops up doesn't include the changes i make. I have to hit Rebuild Application everytime before I run the debugger and its extremely frustrating. I reset all settings and nothing seems to work.
View 1 RepliesI am wanting to make a tool where I can load up a previously coded project and then add error reporting to each sub/function.My problem is this: When I open up some forms, the layout is not as desired. Here is an example:The sub header: "Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click" is extended over two lines... (when opened up as text) is it possible in VB settings to change this to be only on one line? Or is there a 'word wrap' feature I can use when viewing text?

View 1 RepliesI am currently working on creating a web browser. I have chosen to use multiple layout engines. I found this MDI Tab Control, and thought that it would make this task easier to accomplish and be useful in other aspects of my project. I am at a pause. I have a menu strip with an engine item, and within that I have Layoutengine1 and Layoutengine2. I want it so that when someone is browsing the web using Layoutengine1, and they want to switch to Layoutengine2, that all they have to do is click the Layoutengine2 button and all the tabs that they currently have open would be using Layoutengine2 instead of the previous Layoutengine1.

View 2 RepliesI have this VB.Net 1.1 project that I have to make some changes to. There is a flag in the App.config file. If it is false, the page just loads a splash screen and runs the program normally. If it is true it first opens a login window. VB.Net is not something I've ever worked with before. I can't for the life of me figure out where the logic for the picking the startup object is. In the property pages, Main.vb is always set as the startup object, but that's not even the window that loads up when the flag is false, it always comes after the splash screen.

View 3 RepliesI have a problem setting the checked state of checkboxes in a listview programmatically.
Background: I have a Windows Form Application which uses CheckedListBox�s. The names/labels for each CheckBox in the list are imported for a database. Also in the database is a field which defines whether the CheckBox should be Checked or Unchecked. The program works fine.
Problem: My requirement is to add a tooltip to each item in the list of checkboxes. I have read that the best/easiest way to do this is to use a ListView instead of the CheckedListBox. I have setup a ListView with CheckBoxes = True and View = Details. I have populated the ListView with the items from my database. The ListView now looks exactly like the CheckedListBox and the tooltips work fine.
My problem is that I can�t seem to find a way of setting the CheckBox�s to Checked programmatically. Is there a way to do this, or is there a better way of achieving what I am trying to do?

View 3 RepliesMy app needs a config file that can be written to by the user. I've got the Setup project to install it to [CommonAppDataFolder][Manufacturer]][Product] but that folder is then read only to normal users (which defeats the point really!).
I've read various articles on the internet on how to solve this, ranging from making the app a Full Trust ClickOnce app to running a separate app post install to change the permissions.
This is in a RichTextBox. I'm making a string of sports stats and I need to have them aligned neatly in the RichTextBox. Here is an example: str = "12/24 (tab) 225 yards (tab) 2 TDs (tab) 2 INTs" When I use the vbTab constant in place of (tab) I run into problems as the size of the text in each column can be different which makes the tab not balance out correctly.

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.
