VS 2010 User Interface - Particularly Dealing With Different Resolutions
Oct 9, 2011
I am working on a sports management game and have already received some terrific help here with some XNA stuff. I now need some help for the user interface though. This game is very menu-centric, with loads of stats and tables and such. It is therefore paramount to get it right!
So far I have been doing all of the work on my 24" monitor at 1920x1080. Whilst the form is 1920x1080, the menu fits within a 1280x1024 top left region of the form. When I run the game on my other computer, which has a 19" monitor at 1280x1024, I was expecting a large chunk of the form to be cut off but the menu to be all visible. Well, it is all visible but things screw up. Different controls will overlap and such. I'm using Krypton Components for most of the UI and some of the text boxes seem to shrink vertically so you can only see less than half of the text. I have no idea why, they won't all do it.

I'm making a shell for a computer system this shell is going to be distributed with lots of different computers.The shell is designed to replace the standard windows look (not important but anyway), and as such, i need a way of allowing the user to change the screen resolution to what their monitors/display adapters can support. I'm looking for a way to call all the supported screen resolutions into a combo box.Preferably with the x and y values as separate variables, but that's not a major thing.

I'm trying to hone up on my (beginner) coding skills & I would prefer that the the 'Designer coding window', not the 'Design window', wouldn't interfere with these studies. Sometimes it's there & sometimes it's not. I don't understand it at this point & would prefer it wasn't there. All I need is the 'Design window' & the 'regular coding window'.

I'm writing a piece of software at the moment which will require a form be full screen at all times. However, I am slightly plagued by the fact that my users will have varying screen resolutions. This makes placing controls etc very difficult. Any good techniques / tips to ensure that control layout looks consistent despite the screen resolution when an application is full screen. I'd like to try to avoid having to programmatically re-size and move controls based on screen res as this is a pain in the royal backside.

I'm trying to make a very simple full screen program I'm going to use to launch Program.
(That copy bar isn't suppose to be there my computer just glitched and I didn't feel like restarting)
I can easily set the form to launch in full screen but if I do that nothing on the form adjust with it.
I was wondering if there's any easy way to get get everything to adjust to fit fullscreen?

I'm working on a design project where I have to use a Graphical User Interface that contains a drag and drop form. It consists of having a window dropped on a wall. Both of them are images to scale. I would like to know what kind of code I would have to use to show the x and y coordinates of one of the points of my window when dragged so when I drop it, I'm dropping in it on the desired coordinate of the wall.

how to find a file when you don't know the name of it.For example, a file get's FTP'd to me, and I know it's going to be in the format like this FILENAMEDATETIME.txt (TESTING091410120501.txt). I will always know the first part of the filename, but I won't always know the datetime. So how do I find this file so I can do something with it.It will always go in the same folder, and the only thing that's in this folder will be this daily file that's ftp'd and there's 1 other folder inside of it.All I can think of is, I'll know the extension, the date modified will always be the greatest, and the folder location will always be the same.I'll be using vb.net to do some manipulations on the file.

I have an interface class (IUser) which is the interface of class User. Now, i want to put these into an IList but am confused as to how i should declare the IList:Dim userList As IList(Of IUser) = New List(Of IUser) Dim userList As IList(Of User) = New List(Of User) Dim userList As IList(Of IUser) = New List(Of User) Dim userList As IList(Of User) = New List(Of IUser) when instantiating should you always use its implementation; and when using it as a type use its interface?
And when im creating a new user should i use: Dim myUser as IUser = new User?

I'm learning how to use visual basic and come from a background in Java. In Java I use the swing class to build my interface and code all of it. Is there a way to do this with visual basic, or is the designer the only way to create an interface?

i have few questions about the user interface when working with a VS setup project
1. i have added a Checkboxes dialog, i have 3 checkboxes they are used to select upon 3 tools to be installed, so during the progress of the instilation, how should i let the project know which of the 3 tools was selected ? (i hope i was clear)
2. a bit of silly question - is it possible to edit something in a dialog ? like in my case in the "finished" dialog my customer didnt like the the end button is named "close" and he wants it to be named "Finish"
finally, this is an extra non programing but it would be good if i was able to find an answere :P, when i plug a USB in the computer it opens the autoplay, and i have my instilation file in the USB (it will be distributed on a USB rather than a CD), so i want to add to the autoplay a button that runs the instilation file

I would like to make an application where there is no form, only controls, this way theuser can see what they are doing on top of their work. How could I for instance put a textbox on the screen, just like form1, but without it being a parent of form1, almost as if it was form1. Basically form1 is hidden.

I have a generic question regarding file paths and user interfaces. I am trying to build a user-interface to accommodate various file locations. I typically build interfaces which deal with files on drives. As such, I use a directory tree for this. I usually work with files on local drives. However if I wanted to ensure that all file locations were dealt with I would want to ensure that I was accommodating files in all drives (local, network, mappped etc.). I am assuming that the treeview would support all of these drive option.
However if the files are on a sharepoint site or in some other type of enterprise content system, then am I correct to assume that these file paths will be URLs? If so, then am I correct to assume that a directory tree is not the correct control to use for these locations? Should I be providing a textbox to the user and prompting them to enter this URL? Or is it better to have the URL loaded into a ListView or ListBox (i.e. "My Connections") and then provide these as options via a dropdown box. I am trying to picture a typical user interface. Is it a directory tree AND a text box/dropdown box.

Basically the question is, Why are NONE of the changes I've been making in the designer reflecting on the program when it runs ?'none' is in bold because I've tried moving everything around and nothing seems to be affecting it, it's like it's reading from a different design file, I tried reloading the project and that did nothing, and none of my code affects position of any items on the form (way too much to post it all)

I have to develop a software able to perform some scientific calculations in the field mechanical engineer; to be more precise, this software must be able to predict the torsional vibration behaviour of crankhsfts and drive-trains.To build my model I need a library of pre-configured elements (organised in a toolbox), that I can drag&drop in my working area and then link together properly to build the model itself.Also the load cases and the input data should be organised in a toolbox as pre-configured elements that I can chose and fill-in accordingly.Here my questions:
1. how can I develop such a toolbox?
2. how can I develop my working area?
Many commercial software are organised like that but I have no idea how to do it.

In fact, the process is being written into a library to be pulled in from other applications. However, how do I provide a way for a WinForm to subscribe to the process to update as the process gets executed? I've open this question from both VBA/VB6 and .Net because its part of the gamut for UI development.It's also worth mentioning that these are subroutines and not classes that are running the methods, so event raising appears to be out of the question.[code]

Currently, I am using a VB.NET to generate an interface for the user to update parameter of a PCB board MCU. However, I found that some data might be having a problem while transmitting.
Previously, I am using a chrW() to change the transmit data before put into the MyRS232.Write(), however, some data have corrupted or changed while I transmit. The signal show the checksum is wrong while sending the set of data.
After I use an oscilloscope to check the signal transmitted. I found out that, when I sent the data is between &H80 to &H9F (&b 100* ****), the signal will change to &H3E (&b 0011 1111). Anyone have any idea why this happened? Now the temporary solution I found for this one is I use a chr() instead of chrW() for the data between &H80 to &H9F.
[Code]...
I am using another function ChrWt instead of Chr or ChrW only. I remember that, I change from Chr to ChrW because some data corrupt also while I sent using Chr only. Did anyone of you having this problem as well? Any suggestion instead of using another function?
