VS 2010 - Run My App Maxmized - Put The Objects In There Scaled With The Form ?
Apr 23, 2011
I want to run my app maxmized; i know how to do that(changing the properties or coding); but i want to put the objects in there scaled with the form;
How can i do that?
For example: i have a form with the size(300,300) with a button in the bottom left corner ;i put the window state property MAXIMIZED and the window comes maximized for sure, but the button doesn't stay in the bottom left corner, ir stays int the normal position.
I've got a form I'm using with a ShowDialog() statement and I want it to pop up with all its listboxes and radio buttons deselected. However, no matter what I do, the listbox always loads with something selected, even if I manually try to deselect it, like so:
frmPopUp.Listbox1.SelectedIndex = -1 if frmPopUp.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
So I have my main form (Form1) and I have a module called globalMod. On start up, Form1 loads, and globalMod contains functions and global variables (using Friend). I need to be able to have a function inside of globalMod edit a label/text box/etc in Form1. I tired Form1.object.Text = "content" and it doesn't do anything, even if I update / refresh the form.
I have a user control that inherits the FW ListView and I need to dispose of two objects when the form's disposing of it's objects. Here's what I've concluded already, am I on the right track?
I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with designing UIs to be scalable to any resolution. Are there any libraries or functionalities of .NET that make this easy? We also have Infragistics controls as a resource.
is there any control that allows the font to be automatically scaled? example, i want to make the text 80% of the width and height of the control, and it must be centered.
currently im using textrenderer.measurestring repeatedly to determine the largest possible size i could have that would be within 80% of the width and height of the control, and the onpaint handlers graphics.drawstring to keep the text vertically and horizontally centered.
There are plenty of references on the Internet on MSChart (AxMSChart)for Visual Basic 2008, but the published code seems to have all sorts of problems. I am a novice and trying to get a line chart with scaled dates on the x-axis.
I have a form that scales a background image. The form is painted 30 times a second (using Invalidate so it redraws the whole background image). When the window size is less than half my screen (1366x768), Task Manager reports that the program's CPU usage is 00. If I increase this a few pixels in width, all of a sudden the CPU usage jumps up to 50+. I can get up to about 606000 pixels in the client rectangle before it starts exhibiting this behavior
On click, I'd like this piece of code to create new polygon, shown in multiples with different coordinates and colors, sizes and orientation. Color and polygon in multiples works. My issue is I'd like to add more code that will allow each of the multiple polygon created scaled randomly and rotated. How to keep the polygons inside the canvas?
So far looks like this when user clicks start: [URL]
Code: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles startButton.Click Dim endCount As Integer = random.Next(1, 10) Dim plotPoint As New Point For count = 1 To endCount [Code] .....
I am trying to get the green label box to show the correct coordinate after the box is scaled. The red box always shows the true coordinate of the mouse in the picturebox. So for example - after you click on [Scale x4], the 32x32 picturebox will be 128x128. The red box will now show from 0-127 x and y. I would like the green box to show 0-3 x and 0-3 y. Does anyone know how to do this? The code is ready to run, just cut and paste. [code]
I know that there is a method for doing this but I can't find what that would be. In my program I am looking to allow the user to create new elements(with code behind them) by entering a certain keystroke say ctrl+v(doesn't matter) and adds a textbox
I have some code that I want to apply to many objects (Pictre Boxes) and I was unable to loop through the objects via a For loop and am currently forced to copy paste the code for each Image Box.
The Pictre Boxes are named compAlien1, compAlien2 ... compAlien9
Is there a way to do something similar to this:
For i = 1 To 10 Step 1 compAlien[i]... #code# Next i
I'm currently working on binding an objects properties to fields on a Form. Whilst I have managed to get it so that I can get standard objects to bind, I am having a problem figuring out how I would go about binding an inherited object.
For example, if I had a Client class (the parent class) and then two sub-classes called CompanyClient and IndividualClient. The CompanyClient would have an extra field company name for example.The problem I'm having is that I'm not certain how to set up the binding, as if I set up the binding against the Client class then I would be missing the Company Name property for the CompanyClient, if I set up against the CompanyClient, then it wouldn't work with the IndividualClient as it doesn't have all the fields.
I know I could get around this by having different forms for each of the different Client types, but as almost all of the properties are the same I would like to avoid this if I can.I was wondering whether anyone knows how I might be able to go about doing this
How can we use the database objects from one form to another? Eg. In my Login form a person enters his user-name and password & if it is correct, the code directs him to another form(Form2). Now in Form2 How will I get which person has entered in?
on my laptop most objects of a form are suddenly in the incorrect position but ok on all other computers.could this be a corrupted .exe? this is not happening on any other computers(all are Win 7)the laptop is at another location so i cannot try replacing the .exe until i go there next week.
I am developing one vb application. In that I have one list box. I want to add different types of Items. Like Different Colored and differently aligned text(Like one item item is right aligned and one more is left aligned). Can you please tell me how can i do the same.
I opend my VB project and the program was littered with errors concerning Undefined Objects, events not found, system diagnostics is not a member of system, dialogResult is ambiguous, me.close and me.open is not recognized...etc.
it is possible to create objects from strings.Supose I have a class Matrix with a Row(x) property and an array S = {"One","Two"}. Can i do something like this in vb.net?
For i = 0 To 1Dim S(i) = New MatrixNext i Dim P As String() = One.Row(0)
'Which gives me the first row of Matrix One How can I create objects similar to this?
I'm working on a project where I need to information on all the monitors connected to a computer and then write a configuration file based on that. I can already get the screen information by creating a new instance of screen and reading the information such as index, bounds and everything else.I'm trying to create a virtual screen object to hold the information from the screen so I can work with it, or add other properties to it.[code]This all works perfectly how I want it to. Except I would like to do one more thing. How can I make it so that instead of getting Virtual_Screen.Top, I could get Virtual_Screen.Bounds.Top? That way I could create other properties such as Virtual_Screen.Border.Top..I have no idea how to code, or what that would be called. It's hard to search for something you don't know the name of.
I am trying to use a free 3rd-party DLL (SmartWIM.DLL - Smartdeploy Imaging Component) which is, essentially, a COM wrapper for the WIMGAPI DLL for creating images of Windows drives.You have to register the dll with REgSVr32 of course Now, included with the installation package is a VBS that does a CreateObject for the SmartWIM object. When I use the VBS I can successfully create an image with the CaptureImage method.However, when I convert the same code to VB.NET and called exactly the same method, the CaptureImage method "hangs".By that I mean it successfully creates an image file but then doesn't do anything else. I am at loss to understand why it would work when run via a VBS and not work in a VB.NET Console application?
I'm doing a new interface for my app and I'm using MDI forms. On the parent form I want some objects like Labels and ToolStrips with Transparent BackColor but even when I change the MDI Client BackColor to Color.Whatever or the BackgroundImage and apply a Transparent Object it just doesn't get the color behind it but gets DarkGray instead .
I changed the MDIClient.BackColor with: Me.Controls.OfType(Of MdiClient).First().BackColor = Color.Red
I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is "bad practice" or is a perfectly acceptable way to pass an object to another form.I've cut out a lot of the code to summarise what im asking.
[Code]...
Dim myRetrievedObject as myObject = Module1.returnSavedObject()Is this a acceptable way of passing an object between forms or is it a completely bad idea?Ideally i would like to be able to "add" further objects to the initially created object in Form1 but then on reloading of Form1 , retrieve the new version of myObject with the newly added objects within the myObject class.My initial thinking is this creates an almost session like state for the initial object. So you can use the same object over all 3 forms or more and just simply add to it like a shopping cart type of functionality.
I want to create a "Project file" feature. so the user can resume their work right from they left off.Let say I have object Car and that object have some properties. How do I save this properties using xml so I can load it again later?The tricky part is I have many Car object, not only one, and they all have the same variable name. I dont know how it works but it was setup like that.so when the user click save project my program will save all the Car properties and when the user resume their work everything is will be the exact same thing from they left off. So they dont have to start from scratch.Here is the code when the user click the Create Car button[code]....
how to drag and drop objects on a Window form? If I have two labels - one says "1" and the other says "2" on their texts, and I want two other matching labels to be able to be dragged from one end of the form to the other so that say label 1 of one text can be matched to label 1 of the other text. I am designing a grammar learning program that will use drag/drop concept
I have a windows forms application built in VS2005 and migrated to VS2008 that I "inherited" that occasionally will not show some of the objects (i.e. a button or something) when a user runs it. This is sporadic and does not seem to have any notable pattern.Are there any specific types of things I should be looking for that might cause such behavior? I tried looking at available memory and hard disk space issues and that did not seem to have any bearing on the problem.
