how do I adapt the my application area to the user's monitor resolution?I have created a winForms application on 1280*768 resolution monitor and the application is generally used on smaller laptops (10inches). Now I need to a scrollbar on my entire application so that the spacing remains the same as I have designed. For this, there has to be a scrollbar (Both Horizontal and Vertical) on the application.

View 2 RepliesI have an application developed in VB 6.0 and VBA that uses latest Office 32 bit version. But since this application is 32 bit, it does not run on systems where 64 bit Office versions are installed. What is the best strategy I have to adopt to port this application to 64 bit. We have a mandate to use VB.NET and minimal (as much as possible) code modification from VB/VBA to .NET 64 bit. Please suggest the best option I can use so that I can leverage all best practices for this porting.
View 2 RepliesI am wanting to create an application that will monitor the upload/download traffic of a user. Can someone point me too some code that I can have a look at?I have found SharpPcap - A Packet Capture Framework for .NET, but cannot find any vb.net code for it.
I have found this code:
Dim Properties As IPGlobalProperties
Dim StatV4 As IPGlobalStatistics
Properties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties
StatV4 = Properties.GetIPv4GlobalStatistics
Dim Packets As Long = StatV4.ReceivedPackets
What actually is a 'packet'? Can I calculate the download/upload from this code by maybe multiplying the recievedPackets by packet size... or something like that?

View 1 RepliesRecently I released a �preview edition� of an app to the www for distribution. One of the comments I received back was about it not fitting on the screen properly.So I just wanted to put it out there and get some feedback on how everyone approaches the subject of trying to make everyone happy.Being that it was a preview edition and not a released version I wasn�t all that concerned about things like auto scaling. The purpose was to demonstrate the concept of the program not provide a fully functioning bug free version of the software.I have started on a �preview edition 2� which includes 5 group boxes (3 left side and 2 right side) and I have that fairly well sorted, sizing and positioning the group boxes using the Form width and Height.I am not really interested in improving that section of the code too much as it works fairly well already. My concern is more around the labels, text boxes, drop down boxes etc. in the groupboxes�
Again I can do a similar thing scaling to the height and width of the groupbox properties to align the contents of the groupboxes.My question is� When you try to use a resolution like 800 x 600 (which appears huge after using ~1600 x 1000) how do you squeeze everything on the page?I was thinking of changing the font size for each resolution group i.e. < 900 Horizontal run this font size, < 1000 Horizontal run this font size etc.Or I could work out the font size based on the resolution and round it� FontSize = rnd (Res / 100, 1) since the lower the resolution the bigger the font is going to look anyway.If I can control the font size and I auto size all the labels and text boxes etc. I think I have a far better chance of getting everything on the screen.
I want to know how can I make a program what will work in any type of resolution & monitor. For example if I make an application fullscreen it will work. But problem is that text boxes or another things will not work properly. For example if I make a program & make it fullscreen for 1440 * 900 resolution it will work fine when it will get 1440 * 900 resolution. But when it will get different resolution like 1280 * 1024 or something like that it will make my application fullscreen but buttons or another things will not be present there in same place. So what should I do to get rid of this problem? All I want to make a program what will adjust itself everywhere(though you change resolution or monitor like 17 inch or 29 inch whatever it will work & buttons & another thinks will be there in same place).
View 1 RepliesI'm designing a player application to accompany our phone system. As our calltakers take calls, it makes recordings of each call. They can go to a list module, find a recording and double click, which opens my player. The issue i have is that if the calltaker gets another call, my player doesn't know it and will continue playing. I'm looking for a way to monitor the screen in a particular area and when it sees yellow or red instead of blue, it will pause my player.
The phone system does not have any API's that I can hook onto, so I have to try it another way.
The screen resolution never changes and the queue buttons where they receive calls will always be static. When they get a call, a small area changes from the background color blue to yellow or red to indicate a call.

View 4 RepliesI have a custom control with an event handler when you click on it. Everything works and the event get fired right.
AddHandler (cu.MouseLeftButtonDown), AddressOf Me.DoSomething
When the control resizes to show some extra information it expands. It also collapses when the user preses a button. This works alright. But now when I click where the expanded area used to be, it still fires mouse leftbuttondown on that control. I have tried to set IsHitTestVisible to false on the expanded element but it diden't work. Here's some xaml...
<UserControl x:Class="MyCustomControl">
<StackPanel>
<Grid>
[code]....
I cant use another element around my customcontrol since I also use this MouseLeftButtonDown on all different kind of controls.
I can't figure out how the boundaries on the cu.MouseLeftButtonDown event work to fix this.
I'm setting form sizes according to user screen resolution and I think I need design no smaller than 1024 x 768 these days. Using the following code I set my first form and use Anchor settings to resize and maintain controls. Does resize affect StartupPosition in other forms and what do you think is the best StartupPosition to Show the next (smaller) forms? I have a feeling I should have created child forms but simply added forms to the project as I needed them. For example, the first code example does not take account of the WIN7 Task Bar.
HTML
Dim x As Integer = My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width, y = My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height
Me.Size = New Size(x, y)
A smaller form loads with the same code slightly varied, but the reduction is not taking account of the screen resolution. Is there a way of reducing by percentage?

Dim x As Integer = My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width, y = My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height
X = X -100
y = y - 100

How can I fix this issue?Also, I have noticed when I resize my application by dragging the bottom right-hand corner the application does not really re-size, it just gets covered.

Basically, we already had a software working in 1024x768 environment. The program however, have a lot of custom controls and forms that cause problem when users run it in a smaller screen resolution (e.g. 800x600).I had tried change the size of the forms, set auto scrolling, Klik.SizeLibNet3 and etc. All of them has too much work involved or can't achieve best result.Is there any way which I can remain the size of my program (include all the forms) and have a container with scrolling to place my program inside? Or is there any other ways that I doesn't need to modify much on my application?
View 12 RepliesI have put together an app to monitor several directories. The basic principle is to replicate from a Master directory to a Shared directory when specific criteria is met (specific file types are changed, renamed or deleted within the Master directory)Everything seems to work fine with excpetion to MS Office documents. e.g. If I work on a .bmp and save it, it will trigger a changed event. However, with office documents (Word in this example), it appears to rename the MYDOC.DOC file to <freefile>.TMP then rename a different <freefile>.TMP to MYDOC.DOC. This would not be a problem if it was to trigger the Changed or Created event for MYDOC.DOC, but it doesn't. It wouldn't be so bad if the first TMP file was named the same as the second TMP file as I could mirror the process using the Renamed event.I can not filter out TMP files as we use TMP files within the Master directory, albeit for a different purpose.I would use an off the shelf produt, but the files need to be copied to different shared directories based on specific criteria so I can not seem to find a suitable product that fits my needs.
