i have created a splash screen by removing form border and importing an image to the picture box. also i have set a timer for 7 sec after which the splash screen will close itself and will open the MDI form. But after seven second altough the splash screen closes but it also closes the MDI form too. I am not able to figure out the problem.

I am trying to Anchor a Form (Top, Bottom, Left & Right) in a panel.
I have tried:
frmFnct.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Top Or AnchorStyles.Left Or AnchorStyles.Bottom Or AnchorStyles.Right
This doesn't error but as the parent Form is re-sized, the panel re-sizes but the Form that is loaded in the Panel does not re-size.
I guess I can use the Parent Forms Resize Event and size the form to the panel dimensions but just wondering if there is a way to use built in functionality?
From this forum I saw some discussions about form/controls resizing issue with different resolution screen setting. Most suggestions are using Anchor/Dock. My application's form has 10 group boxes and some buttons. In each group box there are 5 Text boxes and other more controls. I tried anchor and dock but couldn't make it work. My questions are -
1, How to re-size form and all individual controls as well?
2, If anchor/Dock are suggested, do i have to use both of them or just one? it seems to me there is no big difference between them.
we all know how to dock or anchor controls so that they resize themselves accordingly when a form is resized. It works fine till we have rows of controls on left and right size of the form. But what if have three columns (Columns as in visual sense. I'm not talking about any column control containing other controls) of controls? For example a form having a bunch of controls in the left side, a bunch in the middle and a bunch in the right. There may be a few more bunches in the middle. Now while resizing the form, I want the controls to resize accordingly as well as change their positions to make space for the previous bunch of controls that are resizing.I mean, while the user increases the form size horizontally, the controls of the second bunch should resize and at the same time they should move right because the controls of the first bunch are increasing horizontally too. When the user decreases the form size horizontally the same thing should occur in the reverse order.I can manage it somehow using nested splitcontainers but that's too cumbersome. I would like to know if there's some better way to achieve it, like setting some property etc.?

View 2 Replieshow to disable the form border, and just have 1 button when your form loads i put a button on my form and i changed the background image but i can still see the border i know how to remove the controls on the form but i wanna see just a picture like bellow..
as you can see the form doesnt have any borders and that is what it loads when you click on the program.
I am trying to make a form with a border like the border on the Windows Vista volume control. The form would need to be resizeable as well.
Here is a form with the ControlBox property set to false.
I have searched on this but I keep finding people trying to keep others from moving forms. And also nothing in the code bank.
Here is what I am making. I am making a tournament overlay program that tracks current players progress for shoutcasters (displays their name, race, score, color, ect).
I have a control panel that will change all that information on another form, the borderless one, that will "Always be on top" of the game displaying information.
If a form has its form border style set to None, how would you go about moving it?
I thought that this would work:
Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseDown
Me.Location = MousePosition
End Sub
but it doesn't.
I want some help with a border less form! I want to move the form using the tab control's "backcolor" area like in Google Chrome.

I am making a virtual iPod touch in VB.NET, and I hate it how I have a form that I can't drag and move the form around the screen, I've trying making the form goto Mouse's location when the mouse moves and Dragging = True, but that doesn't work and makes the form flicker around at the speed of light.
View 2 RepliesI have been trying to make my own borders for my form, which worked out but wast like I expected, (I used an image and Formborderstyle = none). I have looked at other applications(like Internet Explorer and Google Chrome) when they are not maximized, the top part of the form which you usually cant edit(where there you put your application's title and the control box is). I mean those top parts are larger than those of normal applications, how can that be done? To be clear: with top part i mean: the part that is part of your system, where an icon, a label with the application's title, and the control box is. To be more clear, see the screenshot provided.
View 2 RepliesI want to create a software which have a Vista-like border style. I currently created some buttons (1 per side and 1 per corner) which have a background image corresponding to their position on the form. But it requires to much CPU when I resize the window (and need a lot of code lines to works ) So, I want to know if their is a way to create a border style (and maybe to add it in the Form.FormBorderStyle enum) to make it easily tranparent, etc.

When i click a button I want to do this. Either copy to clipboard or even just save as an image. I can even have the handle to the control if that is needed.

Edit: How to make the border of a vb.net form semi-transparent without using MDI form.
I have a problem in a vb.net windows application.I have a form with Sizable form border style. but i want to resize it only from TOP & BOTTOM. I have done the code for this.
But when i move the mouse on form's RIGHT & LEFT border, the mouse pointer gets changed to resize mode. When i drag it form size does not change. but when i try to resize it from LEFT whole form moved to LEFT. I do not need it.
I'm currently working on an application that I'd really like to be able to have a custom form border. I have it set up right now that the close, minimise and maximise buttons work, as well as moving it around. The issue however is that, although the movement is working, once it starts, it does not stop. So I can drag it around and it works perfectly, but if I want to stop dragging it around and click elsewhere, the form moves to the position from which it was being dragged.
