View 1 RepliesIs there a way to be able to resize a form from somewhere other then the lower left? Normal the form is 1080x1024 but i have a few people with laptops that are smaller and there are scroll bars, but it opens too big for the screen and the resizing can only be done in the lower right. Is there a way to change that without having to adjust my form layout?

View 7 RepliesI've been working on some custom graphics controls, and I found this weird problem with windows 7 rendering my button controls. I've used Photoshop to delete the pixels in the background all around the button image I'm using, then saved it as a GIF, and imported it into VS to use as the background image of my button. When windows XP renders it, it is fine, but when windows 7 renders it, all 4 corners have an odd white border around them.

View 2 RepliesI know how to create the Rounded Rectangle, but what i don't know how to do, is make the area outside of the rounded rectangle (the corners) become transparent This is going to be used on a usercontrol, so i really need it to be transparent and not just blend in (ie adapt to the colour of the parent form).
View 9 RepliesI am writing a program wherein the user draws shapes by clicking a button for the desired shape and then clicking on points on the drawing area. I cannot figure out how to store four clicked points to create a foursided polygon. I read many articles that say use the "mousedown" command and store points in a list, I have tried but it's not working for me. To summarize, I need the user to click the polygon button, go to the drawing area, click four points and have a foursided polygon created.

So i want to apply gradient to a square, a center to edges gradient. This is the code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub PicSourcefrm(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint

NOTE: Picsource is just a PictureBox named that way. If I put "BrushSquare.SurroundColors = Color.Red" in a comment. The program works but the edges are white, not red like I want them to be.
I have this code for a gradient form(EXAMPLE 1). It works fine on its own.I tried putting it into an existing project of mine and I cannot get it to work. The project is quite large so I am no sure what the issue is. Is it due to the fact that I have an InitializeComponent() line in the my Sub New in Example 2? Note I have alot of code

View 1 RepliesDataGridView, add unique gradient to each Row I like to add a gradient brush to each row of my datagridview. I like to change the gradient colors for each row independently depending of some cell values in the row. I know how to add a solid background color to each, cell, row, column etc. but I do not know how to add a gradient brush to each row individualy.
I need to fill the datagridview with values, the datagridview is disconnected from any database or other data source. After filling the datagridview, I want to step trough each row, find my key values, decide the gradient colors and then add the gradient to the row.I like to do something similar to what I now do with a background color:
For Each R As DataGridViewRow In DGV.Rows
Dim CS As New DataGridViewCellStyle
Select Case i

I am using Visual Basic.NET 2008. I was earlier a VB 6 developer. I found a (VB 6) code online which generates gradient colours on a form. It has a small sub (routine) which does the trick. If we pass red, green and blue values then form's backcolour changes and it appears like a gradient.Now that code is not working in VB.NET.i mean is there an easier way to generate gradient colours in VB.NET (2008)convert the code I have into .net specific so form's backcolour becomes gradient.I have attached a zip file which contains the code.

This code changes the form's background to a gradient one. It works fine. Now I want this to take place in an MDI form which will be a container for other forms. If I turn option IsContainer = False then it works but otherwise it does now. How can I change backcolor of MDI Form to a gradient one ?
in the painteventargs of the form, i've got something like this: [Code] i'm getting a very cool gradient effect from red to yellow, but why is that the case? shouldn't the 1x1 portion be totally red? and the remaining pixels be totally yellow?
i'm not trying to paint a 1x1 portion in my form, im trying to know why e.Graphics.DrawImage(bm, 0, 0, 100, 100) doesn't draw a 1x1 red portion on my form through the code provided above. my understanding is that 0,0 specifies the point to draw the image. bm specifies the image actually drawn, which is 1x1 px. and 100,100 specifies the allowed space for the graphics to draw, if this is correct, the first pixel should be red and the remaining 9999 pixels should be yellow but they aren't.

So far it is working okay.Now the problem is when I load a child form or close it or do a similar activity then it causes flicker in the mdi background. This gets pretty annoying at times and you see the background flicker.
