I am working on an application in Visual Basic 2008 Express.Dependeing on aa user choice,the window can be one of three sizes. I want each to be centered.On startup the property for "StartPosition" is "CenterScreen", the form loads with the window at the top center of the screen.
The user selects a differentsize for the form, using the following code:
Me.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(1020, 475)
Me.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
I have looking for a tutorial or class that demonstrates more than a trivial example of saving a windows position on closing. The ones I have found don't seem to work on all systems because of:
1. Multiple monitors. (and resolution between those monitors)
2. Toolbar size and position (toolbar is only on the primary monitor, well sometimes)
3. Sometimes the programs dont open on the right monitor they were closed on.
Is there an extensive class or tutorial on all the stuff a programmer needs to get right to have a window size and position persisted between executions?
In vb6, we have a windows (kind of layout of the screen), that allows us to manually position a form, by simply moving it with the mouse to the desired position.Don't we have same feature in .net ? am not finding where I can show this Window in visual studio 2008
I accidentally moved the Toolbox out of its original position. How can I place it back to the vertical tab position? The photo below shows how it is now. I cannot find the way to place it back to its original position as a vertical t

I'm having a difficult time getting cursor's position within the window I tried using : Cursor.Position.X and Cursor.Position.Y but it returns the position of the cursor on the screen and not in the window...
i just want to know how to maintain the position of an object w.r.t the window in vb when i resize the window during run-time.i tried anchoring it from all sides and the object resizes along with it.
like when i close a program, i want it to save its location (i guess to the registry, idk) and then when it loads, i want it to load back where it was.this is what i have so far. it saves to the registry ok, but it doesnt load where it should. also, my button1 click is what saves the location for now, but this code is just a test app for this.
My OCR program uses coordinates to capture text from other program. It works great when program that it takes image from is positioned at coordinates (0, 0). Is here way to find window coordinates, so it can work no matter where program window is positioned?
Something like this:
$winpos = WinGetPos("[Class:Notepad]") MouseClick("left", $winpos[0]+10, $winpos[1]+10) (example from Autoit)
i'm playing around with fore & background colors, putting text in different places so i thought i'd try to size and position the console window but Console.SetWindowSize(640, 480) gives me an error saying that it has to be less than 170? [Code]. Positioning the window to the center of my screen isn't working either?
I have a canvas inside a window. The window is full screen, but the canvas is set to a solid 640x480 in the center of the window. I need to get the mouse position inside of the canvas, but NOT inside of the window. How do I do this?
I have a VB.NET MDI WinForms app. My users have been complaining about form creep (as they call it), this is where each time you open a specific form within the main MDI window it opens slightly below and to the right of the location it loaded previously - i.e. it starts in the top left of the window and works its way down to the bottom right.I have to agree with them that this is extremely irritating, is there any way to prevent this?
The code to load the forms is:
frmPurchaseInvoiceSelect.Show() frmPurchaseInvoiceSelect.MdiParent = Me
I can address this somewhat by setting the forms start-up positions to 'Manual' but then they just open directly on top of each other in the top left of the screen.
I have two forms that are called by the main form. One is named frmEdit, and is invoked by the ShowDialog (modal) method. The other is named frmSearch and is invoked by the Show (non modal) method. In both cases I want to preserve the last window position so each form (class) begins with Public Class frmEdit (or frmSearch):
Dim lastx as Integer = -1 Dim lasty as Integer = -1
in the Shown event handler for each form I have the code If lastx >= 0 Then Me.Left = lastx Me.Top = lasty End If
and in the FormClosing handler I do lastx = Me.Left lasty = Me.Top
What I don't understand is why the frmEdit (modal) form remembers its previous position but the frmSearch (non-modal) does not. frmSearch always invokes with lastx and lasty equal to -1.
I need to program an application which acts like a passwordfiller.
Describtion: When i open up internet explorer a popup comes up requesting my username and password and i need a way to set my application near the popup and fill it in.
Here is what i need:
- Get Window hwnd (using find window api) *Ok - Get Window state *Ok - Get window Position *Help - Get Window Length and Width *Help - Focus on the window *Help - Sendkeys *Ok
I have a small application that displays a listbox under the cursor position when the user uses a shortcut key.
When the user double clicks a selection from the listbox I want to insert that selected text at the curser position of that opened window.
Example: user has microsoft word open. He/she uses a shortcut key that displays a listbox just under the cursor position. The listbox has a collection of text. When the user double clicks a selection that selected text is inserted at the cursor position.
I tried the following:
Private Sub ListBox1_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.DoubleClick Text.Insert(Cursor.Position, ListBox1.SelectedItem) End Sub
If TextBox1.Text has atleast one number 0 or 1 or 2 or 0 (it may have text too, with numbers) then End If Also what command is it to get window position coordinates and what winpos[x] and winpos[y] are. All I found was setwindowpos
No matter what I've done, I can't make my application window the size and position saved in the registry. Below is the code at the end of my Form1_Load: [code]
I am writting a program that aims at filling up bookmarks of a template with data retrieved from a sql server db. The form opens a Word document but I can't control the position and dimensions of the word document. It seems that I can't manage to overwrite MS Word default settings for position and dimensions. I want to be able to display the word document close to the form.Here is the code that I have tried and doesn't work:
In my form there is a AXVS Flex Grid and a textbox.Firstly the textbox will not visible. When the focus will be on a particular column of the flexgrid then the textbox will be visible and the flex will be disable.The position of the text box will be at the bottom of the particular row at the first time. But when another row is inserted then i need to change the position of the textbox to the botoom of the new row and so on.
Would someone advise as to why the cursor position code does not work in the downloaded code snippet this code is from the second tutorial located within VB 2010. The debugger moves through the method but the cursor is not affected in any manner i.e does not move to position 10,10 when called to do so.I am using XP windows 2003 as a virtual machine through Macintosh OS X 10.5.8 -maybe this has an effect somehow?

I have a windows form which contains a group of panels in a flowlayout control. Each panel has a button acrossthe top which is always visible and clicking on it expands the panel to view the other controls on it. clicking on it again shrinks the panel back to the size of the button. A simple form of menu. The flowlayout control has autoscroll enabled and as enough panels are resized (opened) they obviously are too big for the form and a scroll bar pops up.To get the most recently opened panel in the viewable area I use
FlowLayout.ScrollControlIntoView(pnECBF)
where pnECBF is the panel just resized. This works but places the panel at the bottom of the form i.e just in the visible area. I want the user to be able to see the panel AND the next menu button which is on the subsequent panel. So basically what I want is the panel into the visible area +25 pixels for the next panels menu button.
I have one Form and on Form having Labels , TextBoxs, ListBoxs and RichTexbs.It possible for VB code to do EXPORT all of them to NotePad and not changing the position
I have a delete button in a datagridview. The button works fine however when there is nothing to delete it throws an index out of range exception. Now I know for a fact people are going to click that button even though there is nothing the I am presuming the best course of action is going to be a try/catch but I am not sure how to do it. My code is as follows,
Private Sub DataGridView1_CellContentClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellContentClick If e.ColumnIndex <> 7 Then
