VS 2010 - Resize A Label So Its Smaller Than The Parent Container?
Nov 18, 2011
I'm looking for a way to insert a label into a flowlayoutpanel without it having to scroll horizontally. Therefore, autosize is out of the question. I have it right now so it doesn't exceed the flowlayoutpanel using the
I made a program on a computer with a big screen.I set it to open in 'maxamized state' , and I took away the top, so you can't close/resize/minimize it. How can I get the form to automatically resize to the screen size??
2) Is it possible to make a form ( in visual basic express edition 2011) not close when user shuts down computer and/or logs-off ...maybe run in back grond..?
3) Is there a code ( in visual basic express edition 2011) that can make the program start automatically when a user logs-in ?
4) Is there a code that can make something happen (e.g. play music, etc.) from e.g. 7:00 A.M. - 10:00 A.M.
Is there a way to automatically resize a windows form to fit a smaller display? I created a program on a computer with a 12" display, everything works fine. However, when I load the same program on a computer with a 8" display, I am not able to view all the contents on the windows form. Is there a way to correct this without manually resizing all the contents on the form?
I'm starting work updating an UI for one of my company's applications and I'm running into a sticky issue. The parent control contains several panels, each of which can be turned on or off depending on user input.
The final panel in the user control contains another user control which gets resizes according to a toggle switch. Essentially, it "opens" up more information.
While the child control (ChildControl) is docked to Fill inside the parent control (ParentControl), when I add height to ChildControl I can't get ParentControl's height to get updated as well. Currently I'm handling the ChildControl.Layout event in ParentControl but I can't seem to reach that code. To resize ChildControl, I'm calling Me.Height += 200 in ChildControl.vb.
I have been using vb6 for a while, I am following a tutorial by MS to develop a basic application and a simple task cannot be completed for whatever reasons! The tutorial asks to drag the label object from the toolbox and drop in the tab control container. Then, go to the label size property and adjust the size to some different dimansion. Basic stuff, right? It won't let me do it! After I enter the new dimensions (which by the way are not large or very small), the label size (both width and height) resets back to its original dimensions! I have the vb.net sp1 installed.
I have it so that for each entry node in the XML file, it creates a new label then it creates a textbox under it. Both are added to a Collection so I can reference and delete them later. The label and textbox are set inside a panel container. I'm planning to make changes to the interface.
I want a set of child forms to keep their relative sizes and locations to their parent form when parent form is resized. So if one child form is opened and covers the lower right quadrant.. it will remain a quadrant for whatever resize is done on parent form.
I'm currently making one program in Visual Basic 2010 , and there are like 5 labels, and I want them to get bigger (bigger font size) when I put my mouse on them, and to get back to normal when I move my mouse from them (it gives pretty cool effect) now, changing Height and Width didn't do the thing. Then I tried to directly change their font size using label.font.size += 10 but it says that font size is read only...I also tried to bypass that by using dim a = label.font.size a += 10 but when I do that it absolouletly does nothing...
I'm editing jpg metadata and when I'm finished the file is less than half the size but ok, IE I can see modified tags correctly via windows explorer. But if I edit the same file again its down to 16k and corrupted. The image being edited is the standard desert.jpg found in the picturessample pictures directory.

I'm currently very far into a project which has taken me several months. I have suddenly hit a snag. I have 6 Aboutboxes and of course 1 Form and Splashscreen.On the splash screen I have some lables and I can't seem to edit them, its like they don't exist, but there deffintly there.Another problem is that I cant resize the Form, and also 2 of the aboutboxes, won't resize either. I can resize it by holding shift + arrow, but this is highly unpractical and unnecessary, since it worked perfectly before.
I have the following code, which I use for in another control and it works fine, although the other control is a custom control that inherits from Control.

I have a custom control label that I am trying to give all the same properties and functionality to as a regular label. I can change the text, font, and assign the auto size property. However, I cannot figure out a way to make the control re-size correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions or code examples of a custom control being re-sized to fill the entire control?
I have an issue when I place a label box / other component in the MDI Parent form and then open any child form the label box/ other component displayed in child form (Show in SpanShot),
I am trying to dynamically resize labels and position each subsequent label a perdetermined distance from the end of the label that was just generated. My code looks like this:
I have a button that if a user clicks on the button it creates a new button without the user knowing, and they can drag it to a split container, drop it and edit the button. I am having an issue where I cannot drag or drop the button onto the split container.[code]...
I have a custom control of type MyListControl with a Property called NotifiedList. I would like that when selecting that property in the Property Grid at runtime, that a dropdown list is populated with all the instances of type MyListControl that shared the same container as the original control.
How can I resize a window? I've done it by using GetProcessName and MoveWindow, but with MoveWindow it doesn't work on different operating systems/computers. what would be an alternative?
I have a form where i load an image to a picturebox. I open a dialog to prompt the user to grab a file and once that is done i pull the image into a picturebox. Now i want to resize all incoming images but.... because of how it affects my ability to draw lines in the picturebox i am restricted to leaving the picturebox size mode set to normal. So i set out to write a resizing function.
The issue i am having is that eventhough i pass the function an image. I get the Height and with from the image object and it appears that i should be tripping some of my IF/Then statements ... neither Scl or Scl2 ever gets set which in turn keeps nw_height and nw_width from setting themselves properly.
All 4 of those variables stay 0 at all times and im not sure why.
I created so many listviews in my project, that im too lazy to add to each listview a resize event with percentages. Is there any other trick, who just scales the columns so as they are?
Is it possible to resize my controls on my form when I run it? The problem I have is that I have created a windows application which has a maximize state on all forms but on some machines my controls go missing (mostly on widescreen laptops). Ideally some way of resizing my controls would probably be best? So is that possible?
If btnExpand.Checked = True Then Do While Me.Width < 860 Me.Width = Me.Width + 10
[Code]....
the code does what it's supposed to do and the end result is as expected. However.. when I use this code.. my form starts to flicker during the expanding process. I have a custom background set. And you can really see it stretching out as it's supposed to, but the entire form flashes white , black , white , black and I can see horizontal lines between the form aswell. perhaps a command like, System.Screenupdating = false ?

I have 6 bitmaps, all the same size. Their ImageFormat is Format32bppPArgb. Sometimes when I try to resize the bitmaps I get the Out of Memory message. This doesn't happen all the time, only after about six or seven resizes.In Task Manager, the program's memory use never goes above 800k.Is there a way to resize a Bitmap without creating a new one?If I have to recreate the Bitmap, do I need to dispose the current one (or set it to Nothing)?
