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]
View 1 RepliesI 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?
I tried this for my forms, but because I am setting the position with a re-size function and anchors as well, it does not seem to work quite right.
I end up with grey lines (edge of a control I think), and some of my text boxes loose their position. What do you recommend? [URL]
I want to find the size and position of a window from another application. I already have the window handle, how can i do this?
View 2 RepliesI 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 am trying to reposition and resize an application I have launched. The hwnd is extracted from the process that is returned from the application start. The call to the Windows API MoveWindow() call moves the window to the top of my screen and collapses it to the height of the title bar.
The x position appears to be correct and the width appears to be correct, but the y position and the height are not correct. I may have the wrong signature (but I don't think so) or there is something I don't understand about the call.[code...]

View 3 RepliesI have now had two occurances of (different) users "losing" their frm position. I save the position to my.settings in the formClosing event ... and this is the only place that these values are set. When the users loaded the form the first time it worked just fine. At some later point the for got repositioned to -32000 (top) and -32000 (left). I now check for this and reposition the form when it is not on the monitor, but I'd like to understand what causes this. I'm using VS2010 and compiling against .net 3.5
Is the formClosing the wrong place to put the logic to save the settings?

The problem is that it reduces the window size so that you can only see the title bar and min/max/close buttons. Also, even that does not stay on top of other windows.
I have used this function before on a windows 7 machine (instead of xp which this one is on) and it worked fine.

View 2 RepliesIs there more elegant syntax for reading/parsing Size and Point objects in an Xml document?

I have control over both the source nodes and the parsing code... So I am just being too lazy with my XmlNode creation? Regardless is there any benefit to using XmlConvert v.s. using integer.parse (or .tryparse)?

View 3 RepliesI set the form's size with Me.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(500, 500). I display the mouse cursor's position when the event Form1_MouseMove fires. At the bottom right corner of the form, I read the coordinates 483,460 (instead of 500,500) I precise that the upper left corner has the coordinates 0,0.I also notice that the size of a control differs from the form's size. for example if Picbox1.height = Form1.height, then the Picbox will be bigger than the displayed Form1.
