I am looking for a nice way to display some help messages in my application and I was looking to have the user click a button. This would then trigger a area at the top to grow and show the help section. The only problem is i am not sure how to acomplish this.
View 1 RepliesI currently have 5 buttons at the top of my program's main form. They are all size 132x31 and fit perfectly in the window. However, when the window resizes I want them to grow and shrink proportionally to fit the new window size. I've played around with the anchor settings but nothing seems to be of help.
View 3 RepliesHow do i create a byte array that grows?
Say I create a loop in a new thread and in that loop I using a blocking method to read data from a socket . I receive 255 bytes at a time, until all data has arrived. I want to pop this into one larger byte array after I have received it and whisk it off to somewhere else to do nasty things to it.
Is there a way to make the progress bar grow in value bottom to top?
View 2 RepliesHow can I set my labels to align on the right even when they have diffrent lenghts. I have a set of labels which are occuring next to each other and also underneath each other. The problem now is that they always align from the left within the label row,but I need them to align on the right as they are showing sums from other rows. Just to verify I am not talking about the text align I am looking for a solution to align my labels.
View 2 RepliesI am using the FormLayoutPanel for the first time and I am not able to figure out what is going on.On the form, I have a label that can grow and shrink because the content can change. The text includes the name of the client and that name can always be different lengths in regard to characters. I also have a grid on the form.
As you will see from the attached image, the form that has the FormLayoutPanel on it is showing small and not showing the content of the form. The form is indicated via the green arrow.In regard to the FormLayoutPanel, I have set it up in the following way:
Three rows, one column.The label is in the first cell, nothing in the second cell and the grid in the third cell.The TableLayoutPanel is anchored top, left, bottom, right.
Autosize = True
AutoSizeMode = GrowAndShrink
The Label in the first cell is anchored top, left, bottom, right TextAlignment = MiddleLeft
The grid in the third cell is anchored top, left, bottom, right and also Dock = Fill

I have a datagridview created for my windows app in 2005 and I'm not sure how to get it to grow and shrink, depending on the number of rows that are displayed. The form contains several filters for the user to use in order to get their desired recordset displayed in the grid and therefore, the size of the grid will be constantly changing. How is this usually handled?

View 2 RepliesI often think of classes and modules as "global" variables or variables you can use any where in your solution/project. can you make global timers? I basicly want to make a farming like game but the plants will grow based on a timer. So if the player closes that form the timer needs to still tick. So can I make global timers so the timer would not have to start over if the form is closed and reopened?
View 4 RepliesI have a SplitContainer on a form that has 2 panels. The top panel has a FlowPanelLayout control docked in it and the bottom panel has a DataGridView docked in it. I want the top panel to be collapsed when the form is first shown. As the user adds controls to the FlowPanel I want to grow the top panel just enough to see the controls and visa versa. When the user removes controls from the FlowPanel I want to shrink the top panel. If no controls exist I want the top panel to collapse again.
Can I do this by changing properties of all the controls at design time, because I can't figure out the right combination to make it work? Or do I have to do this programmatically?

Currently, working on my chess program, I am trying to show a bunch of chess variants in a picture box but i have come to a forked road of either making all the images collectively into a Gif animation using fireworks, or using the timer to shift them one by one.

(non-coding request)Okay, I have my client, my server, and my map editor...a 2d online game, and yes it's written in VB.NET.I have had a lot of trouble finding anything to do with adding an animation layer something that will flash with a timer to appear as if something like fire is animated. I have a lot done so far and I kinda want to stick with VB.NET working with this.
I'm not really looking for code here, but maybe an idea of "how" an animation layer plays into a map editor and client...specifically what is needed.Running this through my head I believe I am going to need a timer on both the map editor and client, showing and hiding the animation layer...but I don't think it is that easy, and am hoping someone here has an idea of the logic of how this works. I'm almost certain that the timer doesn't go on the server to control this, but am probably wrong.
i need to make an animated intro of my project, i mean that when my project executes so first a welcome screen executed then project will load, so please assist me that i am using SWISH software to make such animation, so can i add swish animation in vb.net? if not so which software is useful for this except flash?

Doing the Christmas animation. I have gotten a nice HID set up to recieve data from VB6 and the computer, but I have a slight problem: I cannot seem to write what is necessary to send my data to the USB serial conversion device. I have tried send, write, open, and nothing seems to work.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to send an 8 bit data packet to the Serial Converter so my shift register can see the data and put it in the correct output line?
I am looking for some info to do some animation. Fairly simple stuff like dealing and flipping over playing cards, tumbling dice and such. I normally work with logic and data and do not know what would be the best approach to do a good looking animation like these.

View 14 RepliesI'm making this rubik's cube program, and I wanted to make a 3d animation of the cube doing the moves, and I figured the best option for that was using the XNA extension. However, doing that brings up a problem. I want to have lots of different options in the Mdi parent form that will interact with the moving 3d cube. The problem with this and using XNA is I can't use both the normal form and the XNA game in the same project. How would I go about having the 2 different projects interact? Just like a txt file or something?
