Label Size - Drag The Label Object From The Toolbox And Drop In The Tab Control Container

Feb 4, 2007

I have been using vb6 for a while, I am following a tutorial by MS to develop a basic application and a simple task cannot be completed for whatever reasons! The tutorial asks to drag the label object from the toolbox and drop in the tab control container. Then, go to the label size property and adjust the size to some different dimansion. Basic stuff, right? It won't let me do it! After I enter the new dimensions (which by the way are not large or very small), the label size (both width and height) resets back to its original dimensions! I have the vb.net sp1 installed.

Use TableLayoutPanel Control To Expand Label Text For LCD TV Screen Size?

Jan 25, 2011

I'm using VB.net 2005 to code an application that will be a used as a "digital sign" to report factory production levels and will be displayed on a 55 inch wide screen LCD TV/display. So I am putting my controls in a TableLayoutPanel control so they will expand to use the whole TV screen and can be view from a distance. (I have my FormBorderStyle = None and WindowState = Maximized.) My Form is set to AutoSize = True and AutoSizeMode = GrowOnly. My TableLayoutPanel AutoSize = True, AutoSizeMode = GrowOnly, and Dock = Fill. I'm using Label controls to display the text on the display and they are set to AutoSize = False and Dock = Fill. When I run the app. the Gauge control expands on my 19" monitor like it should, but none of the Label Text expand. How do I get the Labels to enlarge / Fill there area? Is that not possible?

Drag And Drop Object

Apr 17, 2010

I am trying to make a nifty little drag control.I have a custom list that I start the drag from.As i enter a main panel for my program, I create a control that is made from the source control.I then draw the control to a bitmap, create a nativewindow that is semitrasparent and draw the bitmap to it...giving the transparent file drag illusion.It all works great if I drag the control just under the cursor. If I draw it on the cursor, it changes focus to the nativewindow.I would like to know how to either be able to keep the focus on the panel so that the dragleave is not fired until the panel is left or interupt the underlying commands so that I can pass the info to the panel.

Drag Drop If Object Implements Interface

Sep 2, 2010

I have an interface, for the sake of argument called MyInterface.I Have a Control Class, lets name it "Parent" that implements MyInterface.I have another Control Class that inherits Parent, called "Child".I have a final Control Class lets call it "Container", that accepts dragging the parent onto it.[code]I want to modify this not to only accept Parent, but to accept ANYthing that implements MyInterface. I can't figure out how the heck to get it to work. Even more confusing, if I drag the child onto Container, with the code as it is above(checking to see if a Parent was dropped), GetDataPresent always returns false. I would figure it would work, since Child inherited parent.[code]But it bombs and GetDataPresent returns false whether I dragged a Parent or a Child. I'm being an idiot somewhere..

Forms :: Have A Label With Variable Size

Jul 27, 2009

I have a label in my Form which on loading, displays the contents of a text file. The contents of the text file may change and if so, the number of lines also will. I would like the Form to automatically resize itself based on the number of lines in the file. If there are more lines that the size of the label can take, I would like it to either resize or show scroll bars.

Drag And Drop - Row Provided Already Belongs To DataGridView Control

May 25, 2009

For Each DGR As DataGridViewRow In dgvJobs.SelectedRows
' Added to stop error occuring when destination dgv columns do not exist

I'm making a form where I have two datagridviews. The first dgv is databound to a database. The second dgv is not databound. I want to allow users to drag rows from dgv1 and drop them on dgv2. At the moment I have managed to get it to the point where I can drag from dgv1 to dgv2 but the result is an empty row being added. When I try adding a row without using .Clone I get this error "Row provided already belongs to a DataGridView control."

Drag And Drop From ListView Control, To Shell (Desktop)

May 20, 2009

This is a little diffrent from your standard drag and drop, but I am trying to find out a way to support drag and drop, from a list control, which is displaying a list of files, held as "blobs" in a SQL database (compressed data in my own format). When the form is opened, I obtain a list of all the file names within that given table in the database, and display it to the user in the list view control. The user then has the option of dragging that ListItem from the ListView on to the dektop (or other directory location). Upon doing so, I need to be able to read the data from SQL, decompress the data (in my own format) and then save it as a file at the dropped location.

My main problem is detecting when the ListItem is dropped outside of my application, as I want to use this dropping event to trigger the code in to obtaining a copy of that file from the database, and save it in to the "dropped" directory, where ever that may be.

So Im mainly looking in to how I can "see" the final location where the item is dropped, and how I can start off the drag and drop operation in the first place with no initial data (since I have not obtained the file at the start of the operation). Getting the file at the start of the drag and drop operation intoduces "lag" while the application makes the trip to the SQL database (via web service) and obtains the data, so I need to carry out that trip to the database, at the end, while still allowing "Windows" to act as if I am dragging and dropping a file...

I did consider multi-theading, and downloaind the file from the database while the drag and drop operation is in progress, but then it becomes a race between the data being obtained from the database, and the user dropping the file.

Im using VS2005, SQL 2005 where the file is stored as a blog. SQL is on another PC running a web service which I interact with, to allow my application to talk to the database over both a LAN and WiFi via the internet. Compression and de-compression is handed at the client side application (for the file itself, in order to reduce the footprint created by the internet traffic) , where the user interface is displayed.

Change Font Size For Label According To Text

Jul 27, 2009

I had an old program that I upgraded from VB6 to VB 2008. I am creating a program similar to it in VB 2008. There is a piece of code that I tried to enter into the program I am creating now from my old program. It tells the computer that if the label's text is a certain text that is on the clipboard, then the text size will be smaller.

If
LabelAbsent.Text = My.Computer.Clipboard.GetText Then
Label104.Font = VB6.FontChangeSize(Label10.Font, 8)

When I insert this code into my new program, it doesn't recognize the "VB6" in the code.
How can I get the same result in the program I am currently creating?

Change Font Size Of Label During Runtime

Aug 23, 2009

I have a form with some labels. If the labels equal certain text, then I want the font size of the label to change.For example, if the text reads "apple",I want the font size of the label to be 16.If the text reads "banana", I want the font size of the label to be 8.This has to occur during runtime without any clicking of the label.I have an idea of the code I want to write in order for this to work, but I need to know where to put the code for the labels.I cannot put this under Label_Click or Form_Load.Where can I put this code so that it works for the labels during runtime?

File Size Dynamically Updating In A Label?

Nov 17, 2009

Using VB 2008 Express.

How would I create a label that reports a file size at all times? Or, on a regular basis, say every 10 seconds or so.

In my form, I want a label to watch certain file sizes (logs, etc.) in case one suddenly becomes too big.

It is easy enough to report a static file size when a form launches, but changing it dynamically...I don't know how to do that yet.

The following example is generic and simplified for illustration purposes.

The file is C:Applicationapplication.log

The label might include:

("The application.log file is {0} bytes.",GetFileInfo.Length)

or something like that. But that would report a file size once and never again unless I quit and restart the form.

If any .NET concept is used, can you provide a link to the documentation or msdn stuff?

Make A Label Auto-size And Wordwrap?

May 26, 2009

I am creating a very simple control, think of it as a bunch of labels, autosize=false, docked to the top inside a panel. I can't set the height of the label to any certain value, because I am unsure of how many lines the text will be inside the label. And I can't use autosize=true because then I only see one line. But I don't want a label in there that needs 50 lines and only has 30, then the next label only needs 5 lines but has 30, so some get cut off and some have way too much space. So I need a way to "autosize" the height of the label.
