One of the things I was doing was renaming controls on the form to understandable names and a couple of times I would use a variable name for a control on the form that I hadn't actually renamed yet and since I know what the name would be, I went ahead and coded the routines with the new name (knowing it would produce the compile errors) and when I was done, I switch to the form view and for whatever stupid reason it refreshed itself like it was re-compiling the form (I never clicked re-build, or build solution since I had those 16 compile errors) and VS didn't display the form, it displayed the error tab with the stack trace.... that became a huge problem because then I couldn't rename the control which would fix the compile errors. Why the heck is the IDE doing that?
It shouldn't be re-rendering the form, or if it does it shouldn't be erroring because I never re-built the project. I ended up renaming the variables to something that would compile, then I went back to the form, changed the name of the control and went back to the code window and noticed, I couldn't re-do the name changes. I don't know if a bug report has been sent to MS, but that's something they should probably fix.
I also noticed that the intellisense window can't be resized like I used to be able to.All-in-all I've had my first actual VS 2010 project and there's a lot of things that are bugging me about the IDE and I'm thinking of skipping this one and migrating from VS 2008 to VS 2012 (or whatever the next one is) when they've gotten the IDE more normal.
I like the new intellisense enhancements for finding members, however, there are 2 problems i have;
1) You can't resize the intellisense window when it pops up? This one is really annoying.
2) There seems to be a fixed font for the intellisense list? Why does it not match the rest of my code window like it used to? I've noticed the same with tooltips.
I am trying to discover how to detect that a form has been resized, or rather, that a form is being resized. I need to call a sub to handle the resizing of text in relation to the new size of a form or control. I have found that setting a minimum height and width works behind the scene so I figure there must be something watching the form size but can't find what or where it is.
When a user changes the size of my application, I would like the picturebox to get resized accordingly... IE if he increases the size, then the size of the picturebox increases proportionally.
In VS 2005, I have a form with a few controls (comboboxes and labels) that won't display when the form loads. The controls show up as transparent "holes" in the form, through which I can see my desktop. As soon as I move the form, or left-click on the title bar for about a second (without moving the nouse) the controls render correctly.What do I need to do to get these controls to display correctly, short of forcing a resize?
i created 1 mdi parent form as frmMDI and 3 child forms as frmMainChild, frmChild2 and frmChild3. When the frmMDI is loaded, it will call the frmMainChild and set it to maximize. At here, i treat the frmMainChild as the base form of my application. in the frmMainChild, i can call other forms like frmChild2 and so on.
and now, my problems are: 1. how to disable the frmMainChild to be resized, restored? i just want to make it maximized only. 2. when i call the other child forms from frmMainChild, i notice that it always maximize the child form. can i make the child form to be in normal window state?
but i have this exception call System.UnauthorizedAccessException which access to the path i wanted to save is denied. however, if i just save the original pic using FUImage.SaveAs(physicalFolder & FUImage.FileName) it is able to work. i just want the pic to be resized and save it.
When I resize my Image it become's more blurred...Like for example, when I resize it larger....It blur's and when I reduce the size to it's original size it just blurred more...in short every time I change the Size of the image it becomes more blurred.
Dim w, h As Integer Private Sub BtnLarger_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
I am developing a science application on VB.NET. I want the controls to be edited, resized, and drag & dropped (like in Visual Studio IDE) by the user during runtime. How to achieve this functionality?
I have a panel that has 8 buttons located on it each named But1,But2,ect. What I am trying to figure out how to do is resize all of the buttons in width when the panel is resized in width. [Code] Is there something simpler to do this as I will eventually have 3 panels with 8 buttons on each one that would need to be resized at the same time. In VB this was controlled by an index and a for next loop, but I see no way to create a control array for all the buttons when they are on separate panels.
I am using VS2008. I have a table in which the jpg images are stored. I can retrieve the images from the table and display it in datagridview. But many images are of different sizes. So the cell height of the datagridview changes according to the image size. Is it possible to give a fixed cell size for the image column and also shrink the image to that cell height.

Basically, I have a ListBox with a list of items that correspond to pictures.I have it set up so that when you selected the first word on the list (index 0), then the image 0.png is displayed (index 1 = 1.png, etc) in the Picture Box and the Picture Box resizes to fit the Image.
[code]...
This^ works fine, but I want to center the picture in the group box that it is in each time a different image in selected.My solution was this:
[code]...
No compilation errors, but it^ doesn't center the image. As a matter of fact, there's no noticeable difference at all.
For c = 0 To grd.Columns.Count - 1 grd.Columns(c).Resizable = DataGridViewTriState.True Next c
That allows all the columns in my DataGridView to be resizable EXCEPT the last column. Why?I DO get the little resizable-mouse-pointer... but you can only make the column SMALLER, never WIDER.(Same problem if I try to set all the columns to Resizable, using the VB.net IDE)Shouldn't I be able to resize ANY column I want, bigger or smaller?
I have forms in my application that I want always with same size, I define the border style to fixed tool, disabled the control box. But if the user double click in the form header the form gets maximized. There's some way to disabled this?
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.?
Pretending I have a class that inherits off Control, how would I handle the parent form's Resize and Move events within the control? I have a painting glitch that happens when the form is resized or moved. Right now in the form I just have:
vb.net Private Sub frmMain_ResizeMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles Me.Resize, Me.Move Me.Refresh()End Sub
But this can't be the proper way to do it, considering Refresh() invalidates all children (will be slow and flashing if the form has lots of controls). I want to basically do the above code inside the control.
Edit:This is the glitch after a resize of the parent form:
And this is what the button is supposed to look like:
Also, I experience this issue if something like a message box is dragged over top of it. How can I remedy these issues by forcing a repaint?
I find myself frequently turning off Intellisense because it adds wrong choices to my code. For example if I try to type "i " (without the quotes) it causes "int " to be put into my code. If I type "for " it may put "form " into my text.
Reaching for the ESC key constantly slows down my typing. (It's such a long way to reach for small hands). Is there an alternative way to exit out of intellisense without the highlighted choice being placed into my code, or is a way I can define a different key for this purpose?
is there a way to enable IntelliSense for XML literals in VB9 (VS 2008)?The ideal source of IntelliSense is an XSD document, but I can use anything else format to do it.
I do not get intellisense working when creating a Property. How do I get intellisense to work here? Intellisense seems to work otherwise, just not with the Get / Set instantiations.
I am primarily a C# developer; however, I am currently working on a project for a client who preferred VB.net. I have managed to switch over fairly well, with one frustrating exception. When editing a C# file in Visual Studio pressing enter will select an item out of the IntelliSense window and keep the cursor at the end of the selected statement.
However, when editing a VB file, pressing enter selects the item out the IntelliSense popup AND moves the cursor to the next line. I realize that this is a small thing, but it drives me crazy, because it makes it really hard to switch between C# and VB projects.
I have searched for everything I can think of in Google and found nothing. Does anyone know of a way to change the IntelliSense selection behavior?
In VB.NET projects, errors are highlighted immediately after cursor leaves the line. In C#, I have to wait several seconds for IntelliSense to highlight it. Also, the C# version doesn't show all project errors in "Errors List", unless you start to build it. Actually, it seems to work differently in every way. Is it possible to adjust that behavior?
I am using both Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010.
