View 3 Replieshow to minimize MDIchild windows to the StatusStrip...or is there another toolbar object in VB.NET (2008)? I have a menu layered over my MDI Parent window (which is always maximized) and if I minimize another child window, i can't see it anywhere (unless I minimize the menu too, but I took that ability away from the user)... I think I know how to do this through the menustrip at the top of the window (click on open windows....like in excel or word), but I'd like to see the windows minimized in a toolstrip of the MDI parent.

View 2 RepliesI created an app that allows the user to look up pricing and search for items, to help speed up dealing with customer asking for pricing and what not. The form stays atop all windows at the top of the desktop, and is setup, currently, to shrink down (or up in this case) by double clicking on the title bar; I've disabled the minimize and maximize buttons.
How it is setup now is okay, but not as sleek as I want it to be. Is there any way to minimize the form to just the caption bar, like what happens with a command window; it minimizes to the a title bar above the start menu, but I want it to minimize to the top of the screen, almost blending into the title bar of the other open windows. Right now, the form is out of the clients way when minimized, or shrunk up, but it looks kind of lame, with a thin strip of the gray part the form still showing.
I am looking to create an action that will minimize the current window?
View 1 RepliesI only found the form event for form closing or form closed, do you know any event for "minimize or maximun form"?
View 2 RepliesI am drawing graphics on the screen and when the form resizes it needs to clear and redraw all the graphics b/c the form is a different size and the graphics are supposed to scale with the size of the form. Well that works, but not for maximize or restore. So I had to look on the internet for how to capture the maximize and restore event. I got it from here and it does capture it, but it does all the events (such as redrawing the graphics) first and then it maximizes, which totally defeats the purpose. I tried to do Application. DoEvents but it still doesn't do it. Any way to have the graphics redraw AFTER it maximizes?
Code:
Private Const SC_RESTORE As Int32 = &HF120 'When a Form is Restored
Private Const SC_MINIMIZE As System.Int32 = &HF020& 'When a Form is Minimized
Private Const SC_MAXIMIZE As System.Int32 = &HF030& 'When a Form is Maximized
Private Const WM_SYSCOMMAND As System.Int32 = &H112 'Minimized/Maximized/Restore comes when we have this msg Const WM_NCLBUTTONDBLCLK As Int32 = &HA3 'When User Clicks on the Title Bar

Private Sub picminimize_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles picminimize.Click

View 1 Repliescan't seem to figure out the solution to. I have a form within a form that works fine. However when I want to maximize the form the top of it goes behind the menu bar rather than just below it as I would expect. Also, when I minimize the form it simply minimizes and hides behind the status bar at the bottom. I've tried adjust the location coordinates, window state, start location.
View 7 RepliesI have created a game similar to plants vs. zombies or simply called a tower defense game. I have already completed it. but I have 1 big problem. and this is the game is very very lag / high delay. structures , explosions , enemies , projectiles are created using picturebox and declared it using an array and now to my question. Is there any way to minimize or to remove the lag or delay of the form?
View 3 RepliesI have this rather annoying problem when printing in VB.NET. I use the PrintDocument object and after it has done its job, the form gets minimized to the taskbar. I tried to force the focus on the form but to no avail. I was just wondering if someone else has encountered this problem and maybe has a solution for it?
View 6 RepliesI have a simple GUI form to hide / show / minimize / terminate / force terminate Processes. i can do all well but for show and hide i need the MainWindowHandle to show or hide it
So here is hide process code:
Dim Proc As New Process = Process.GetProcessesById(List.SelectedRows(0).Cells(1))
Dim hwnd = Proc.MainWindowHandle
ShowWindow(hwnd,0)
If i try the same with show code:
Dim Proc As New Process = Process.GetProcessesById(List.SelectedRows(0).Cells(1))
Dim hwnd = Proc.MainWindowHandle
ShowWindow(hwnd,9)
The MainWindowHandle become 0 cuz its hidden is there is any other way to get the MainWindowHandle of Process ?
I had created a windows forms application in vb.net. It contained several windows. Now the users of that application are telling me to display all in one main form. They want to see all the details in one form. I had implemented MDI but they want something like tabs. On different tabs different forms should be displayed. How shall I implement this.
