Keep Form Sizes The Same In Different Resolutions?
Apr 9, 2012
I have written a VB .NET 2010 application which displays a "you have new mail" window/form with an OK button that closes the form.
Some users have received new PCs with dual-monitors and the OK button is no longer visible on the form - it's at the bottom but off-form.I guess that this is related to a different screen resolution and not the dual-monitor setup itself.how to make my forms auto-resize? I though this was automatic in VS 2010.

i've made a program that fits my monitor, the resolution is 1280,1024. But i want to make it so that if someone else who has a different resolution can also use the program, is there any way to make the form (and the components inside it), auto resize to fit that persons resolution?

Firstly sorry if this has already been covered, though I am trying to find out if there is a way that I could make all objects on a form appear in the same area no matter what the resolution of the screen is? e.g. I have a group box located down the bottom right for a 1024x768 screen resolution but when I view it on my widescreen laptop it isn't right down the bottom right where I want it. Is there a way this can be done? I'm assuming i could check the system properties to tell me what the resolution is and if it's widescreen then change the location of the object.

I'm setting form sizes according to user screen resolution and I think I need design no smaller than 1024 x 768 these days. Using the following code I set my first form and use Anchor settings to resize and maintain controls. Does resize affect StartupPosition in other forms and what do you think is the best StartupPosition to Show the next (smaller) forms? I have a feeling I should have created child forms but simply added forms to the project as I needed them. For example, the first code example does not take account of the WIN7 Task Bar.
HTML
Dim x As Integer = My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width, y = My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height
Me.Size = New Size(x, y)
A smaller form loads with the same code slightly varied, but the reduction is not taking account of the screen resolution. Is there a way of reducing by percentage?
HTML
Dim x As Integer = My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width, y = My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height
X = X -100
y = y - 100
Me.Size = New Size(x, y)

How would I go about designing something that will work on many different resolutions? For example, i have my monitor on a very high resolution, and when i work on my projects, the actual controls (buttons, text boxes ,whatnot) are in the top left quarter of my screen, because the program will have to be deployed on 800x600 machines.
Is there anyway to make it so it will stretch and look appropriate on different resolutions?

I need to know how Windows detects what resolutions the user can select for their monitor / graphics card. I'm pretty sure it's an API call, but does anyone know what it is?
I already have code to change it (courtesy of this thread here), and I was wondering if it was possible to get a list of valid and allowable resolutions.

I'm looking for some advice on how to make my app work with different resolutions as I have posted a demo game on the forum but the game was designed on my laptop which is set to 1280x800 but a few people who have tried the demo are having problems as they are using 1024x768.
Is this a case of getting the computers resolution when the app starts and alter the size and position of controls?

How do I make my program use different resolutions of the same icon?
If I use a 32x32 icon, the 16x16 icon in the window becomes blur
If I use a 16x16 icon, the 32x32 icon in the taskbar becomes blur
I tried using a multi resolution icon but I can't get the program to use the different resolutions of it.

I'm writing a piece of software at the moment which will require a form be full screen at all times. However, I am slightly plagued by the fact that my users will have varying screen resolutions. This makes placing controls etc very difficult. Any good techniques / tips to ensure that control layout looks consistent despite the screen resolution when an application is full screen. I'd like to try to avoid having to programmatically re-size and move controls based on screen res as this is a pain in the royal backside.

I'm coming from ASP.NET background and lately I started developing winforms applications for my company, I had no problem with the move from ASP to winforms programing wise, the only thing i have problem with is to my program to look good across different screen resolutions, resolutions is big problem when developing for the web as well, but I already learned and know how to handle those problems and make my website to look good under almost any resolution what I'm really asking, can someone experienced in this area tell me what are the rules and guidelines i should follow and obey for my winforms application will look good in most resolutions.

I'm making a shell for a computer system this shell is going to be distributed with lots of different computers.The shell is designed to replace the standard windows look (not important but anyway), and as such, i need a way of allowing the user to change the screen resolution to what their monitors/display adapters can support. I'm looking for a way to call all the supported screen resolutions into a combo box.Preferably with the x and y values as separate variables, but that's not a major thing.

I had all types of problems before with my application size.On one computer it fits great, but on the net book the application is so big that it crashes it.For example lets say that this is my application running on a regular PC which has a 60 Cm screen This not my application. On my net book which has a 25cm screen it will look different and bigger. Can i some how have a application that is the same size. I think this is very possible to do. Kaspersky has the same feature and it works great.

I have a program which draws a U.S. map on the screen. This display looks great on my wide-screen (16:9) monitor, but it looks a little stretched horizontally on my wife's standard (4:3) monitor. Is there some way I can tell VB to automatically adjust the picture when a standard resolution is being used?
If not, am I correct in thinking that standard definition monitors are going the way of the dinosaur, much like is happening with TV's, and in the future we'll be seeing more and more wide-screen monitors.

I am working on a sports management game and have already received some terrific help here with some XNA stuff. I now need some help for the user interface though. This game is very menu-centric, with loads of stats and tables and such. It is therefore paramount to get it right!
So far I have been doing all of the work on my 24" monitor at 1920x1080. Whilst the form is 1920x1080, the menu fits within a 1280x1024 top left region of the form. When I run the game on my other computer, which has a 19" monitor at 1280x1024, I was expecting a large chunk of the form to be cut off but the menu to be all visible. Well, it is all visible but things screw up. Different controls will overlap and such. I'm using Krypton Components for most of the UI and some of the text boxes seem to shrink vertically so you can only see less than half of the text. I have no idea why, they won't all do it.

Is it possible to have radio buttion 1 control this code and have radio button 2 control the same code with different sizes? If this can be done it will get me buy until I learn a better way.

I'm trying to make a very simple full screen program I'm going to use to launch Program.
(That copy bar isn't suppose to be there my computer just glitched and I didn't feel like restarting)
I can easily set the form to launch in full screen but if I do that nothing on the form adjust with it.
I was wondering if there's any easy way to get get everything to adjust to fit fullscreen?

I have a slightly unusual application that is optimally designed by doing the following. We have an application that references a number of graphic sets for unique artwork utilization. The application is in HD and the graphic sets are a bit large about 20 megs per set. We have found that the optimal design for this particular application is to create a unique .Resources file per set, compile this .Resources file into a .Dll file using Assembly Linker (AL.exe) and reference the .Dll via the application and load the graphics upon demand or selection actually of this unique set within the application.
Question is this as I have been unable to find any data on this aspect.
Is there a limitation on the number and size of .Dlls that a VB .Net application can reference?
Specifically, we will likely have 20-25 unique graphic sets reesulting in 20-25 unique .Dll files of about 20 megs per .Dll. On our deployment boxes for the applications, we have 2 GIGs of RAM so no issue there.
Just curious if anyone knows if I am breathing down the neck of an inherit limitation within VB .Net 2010 by creating the above monster.

How do i center an image at all window sizes? My Window is borderless and maximized so its size obviously differentiates between resolutions. I'm having trouble centering an image directly in the middle of the screen and making it stay there regardless of the size of the window. Docking isn't working neither is anchoring and hoping there is an easier way around this?
