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.
View 6 RepliesI was wondering if there is a way to keep the same scroll position in a datagrid view as the app jumps around to various rows (driven by the user selecting different timestamps or address). After the jump happens, the horizontal slider moves all the way to the right, but I want it at the same position as before the jump (or at lease go all the way to the left).
I have tried numerous things (datatable.AcceptChanges(), etc) but haven't been able to figure it out yet.
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?
I've created a form with several controls to specify the inputs to my program. They include TextBox, OpenFileDialog, Button and even a user control for numeric input. When the user clicks the 'GO' button, the program begins it work. Opening several files and processing a bunch of numerical data. This could take many minutes/hours with large datasets.
What I've been trying to do is have another window/form open up and send status information to it for the user to view. The info to be displayed is varied and constantly updated as the program crunches the numbers. Many many programs do just this type of activity.
I attempted to create a second form with a huge TextBox thinking I'd just write stuff to it. I called the .show method within the .click of the 'GO' button and of course the form is displayed but control of the program's execution doesn't return until the form is closed. How to I maintain execution and have a second window/form to display status?
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 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.

Me.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen

View 2 RepliesI 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]
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.

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 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
What i need to do is, I need to send the value of "e.enrollNo " to any active windows cursor point(to the Insertion Pointer).

I am using VB.NET and I am currently having a problem accurately reading the mouse position. In my code, whenever the user moves the mouse, I want to have two variables store the mouse position's X and Y value, however when I move the mouse over an object such as a picturebox or a label, it will no longer give me the value until I move the pointer off the object onto the form. Are there any methods that will give me the absolute mouse coordinates regardless of whether the mouse is over an object or not?
View 9 Repliesis there a way that i can print selected objects only with their positions? I want to print only some pictures in their positions. Ive been trying to single them out but they end up in the top left corner of the paper.
View 1 RepliesRight now I have a program in which I'm trying to read the mouse cursor position relative to the window form, but I am currently having a problem. It only works if the mouse is directly over the form, and it will not work if I hold the mouse over an object, such as a label, a command button, or a picturebox. I tried resolving this by adding handle clauses for mousemove over those objects, however, while it works for the label, it doesn't work for the pictureboxes. This is because the pictureboxes are in an array and are defined at runtime.How would I go about resolving this?
