I am writing a program that is navigated manly by using tabs, the tab panels (If that is what they are called) hold the vast majority of the GUI, only leaving space for the menue bar and a few rarely used window forms. So my question is this, what do I need to do/set to make the tab control (Or tab Panels) re-size with the window it is in when the user re-sizes the window?

How to resize minwindow in outside process

View 3 RepliesHow would I re-size the window @ a point relative to its parent location and size. I am using code from Make an unowned window's parent to my form, to be able to set a windows parent to panel1.
Dim proc As Process
' Start the process
proc = Process.Start("C:UsersDmitryAppDataRoamingSpotifyspotify.exe")
proc.WaitForInputIdle()
Dim tmp_hWnd As IntPtr
[Code] .....
This works on most windows except for ones that are customized. Maximizing the window will maximize the window to bounds of the actual screen bounds instead of the panel1 bounds. Code works fine with normal windows but not with this one. (Spotify Window.)
SendMessage(proc.MainWindowHandle, 274, 61488, 0)
I have an application that while running (it doesn't have to have focus, it can be minimized or another window can have focus) can listen and respond to global hot keys pressed. For instance I have the key combo Ctrl+Shift+0. When this hot key is pressed my app can recognize this and then I can do something.
This "something" that I want to do is:
1. Know what window is currently active and has focus when the hot key was pressed. And...
2. Change the size of said window
I can currently identify what window has focus by the following (the code block is inside the function that fires when the hot key is pressed):
Code:
Private Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32.dll" () As IntPtr
Private Declare Function GetWindowThreadProcessId Lib "user32.dll" (ByValhwnd As IntPtr, ByRef lpdwProcessID As Integer) As Integer
[Code]....
I can get the handle to the active window and the process that owns that window.
Having this information, how can I get access to the window itself? Furthermore, get access to it's properties so I can change the size of this thing? I'm not sure If this is the right information to be gathering for what I'm trying to accomplish but it seems that I'm close.
I have a form which has no window borders, but I still want to be able to resize the window? How might i achieve this? Even just a few options, like 'small' 'medium' and 'large' size would be fine if it cant be normally resized.
View 5 RepliesIs there any way in c# or VB to automatically move the controls in a panel when the window is resized. I do not want the Anchor property, which only resizes the control. THe use is that controls are added at runtime to the form, and when the locations/values are loaded on a computer with a larger monitor, they are in the incorrect positions.
View 8 RepliesI came across an issue which I see has been discussed a few times, but there doesn't seem to be a defintive answer to the question.How can the child windows in Silverlight 4 be dynamically sized to fit within the size of the current browser window?The problem is on smaller displays where the browser window may be smaller than what the child window was originally developed for.What occurs is the OK and Cancel buttons are off the screen and cannot be scrolled to via the browser.You can duplicate this problem by simply shrinking the height of a browser window manually while the child window is displayed.The controls will disappear and there is no way to get to them.This is pretty much simulates what users with smaller monitors see.So the question is how can you set up a child window to dynamically size itself so it users can still interact with it?
View 2 Repliesok when my program is running from scratch I have a piece of code that just says if the size is this.. then make this.. else make this.. so it just makes is small and big..after you close it.. it hides itself in the sys tray... if you bring back out of the system tray.. and click the button to make small or big.. does nothing.. it come out of the sys tray as the large size.. and wont go small again..

View 1 RepliesI've a DLL assembly reading a variable, "GalleryID", from an XML file. I can't modify the assembly, so I am wondering if I can make the XML element value dynamic? For example, to get this value from a querystring or any other scenario without changing the assembly.[code]This is an ASP.NET website that has multiple users. When a user logs in and open the gallery.aspx page it will show the user's own gallery. This scenario is not working now since the gallery module shows one gallery (Galleryid=2) to all users according to its setting in Settings.xml file. How can I pass galleryid in querystring -- gallery.aspx?galleryid=5 and inject it to Settings.xml file?
