Is there a way to make the actual tabs different sizes? I just want the tabs themselves different sizes not the whole thing. Seems like the itemsize property does this but it will only allow you to set one size. I want each tab to be a different size depending on its text.

View 1 RepliesFirst off I hope this is in the correct I am creating a calculator software in Visual Basic 2008 Express edition. I don't know if it is .NET or not, I assume it is? I downloaded this version: [URL]...Now, I will have tabs at the top. The tabcontrol is named "Tabs". On each tab I will have a different category of mathematical functions. Now, I need the backspace, clear, clear entry, equals, and all the numbers 0-9 to appear on every single tab. Is there a way of doing this without creating a new button named "Backspace2", "Backspace3" for tabs 2 & 3 for example?

View 6 RepliesI was wondering if there was a solution to replacing the tab control's tabs with custom tabs made in Photoshop. I know there are plenty of super expensive programs that can do it, but I was wondering if there was a way to do it programmatically. I was thinking that maybe it could linked in some way with a .DLL?
View 1 RepliesMy code is basically a file parser/editor and it handles most files fine as they hold a handful of records concerning family members. However there are a few files that crash when trying to deal with them. Here is the problem.Each family member record creates 3 tabs that hold an average of 3 group boxes each. Each group box holds an average of 3 text boxes.So each member record creates 3x3x3 = 27 text boxes and some files get up to 289 family members which = 7803 text boxes.
The problem is the rare file with 400+ member records = 10,800 text boxes which causes a crash due to using up all the window handles. Each member has a separate tab page (with 3 subpages) but really only a dozen or so member pages are visible in the GUI with scroll arrows to move through them so I was thinking of somehow making the GUI a scrollable window so the tabs get built, displayed and disposed as the user scrolls left and right through the member tabs.
The files are parsed into a 3d list DataList(x,y,z) where x is the page number, y is the group box number and z is the text box number. So all the data is available. The code then traverses MyList and builds GuiList(x,y) where x is the page number and y is the groupbox number with all the textbox.text linked to MyList(x,y,z) locations so all text changes are reflected in the MyList.
I already have a memberCount variable and I am thinking of building, say, the first 30 member tabs with the middle 10 being visible in the GUI. If the selected tab > 20, then dispose of the first 10 tabs and create tabs 30-40.I am thinking I will keep all the member tab pages so I don't have to deal with inserts and indexing problems but just dispose all the group boxes and text boxes for tab pages out of view. I already have a deep clone sub that clones members when the user wants to add a new family member and I am thinking I will have to add something similar when a tabpage is passed in for disposal, it traverses and disposes each text box, then disposes the group box for each group box on the tab page.Additionally, another routine will rebuild the group boxes from the data held in MyList(x,y,z) when a tabpage(x) is passed in.
I have a web browser with tabs, and I wanted to know the following:

View 4 RepliesI 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?

View 26 RepliesI 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.
I have a custom class. I would like to add an event that triggers when the form it is on resizes. Is there a way to do this?

View 6 RepliesI have a basic VB.net app that displays a picture box with some text. nothing special. looks fine on my computer. If I display it on someone else's computer with a larger font size (125%?) my picturebox and text looks off and stupid.
How do people account for this? Should I simply get the new font size and multiple all positions, lengths and widths of object by 1.25?
I'd obviously like my dialog to scale properly and look as expected in any display no matter what font size is selected.

I find the icons/toolbars to be poorly designed in that they are on a grey background which just serves to minimise their effect.

How should I handle image files of various sizes (<1 mb upto 15mb) within a mobile application that I am developing? Currently, I am displaying the image full size using a ASHX file inside of an ASP Win Form using the ASP Image Class. So basically what I would like to know how should I go about dealing with these sometimes vastly different image sizes. Would copying the image to be displayed and then scaling it on the server to whatever dimensions I decide and then displaying it in the browser be a better way of "handling" images especially in an mobile browser?

Private PrintDoc As New PrintDocument
I am creating a program that I would like to distribute. I am using printform in VB 2008 to print my form. My form is the size of my computer screen...15 in. If the program is run on a different computer with a different screen size, will it affect the appearance of the form on the screen or the printing of the form? If the form is run on a laptop, for example, with a smaller screen, will it cut off my form and thus cut off the form during printing? Will a bigger screen increase the size of the form and not allow it to fit correctly when printed? I was just curious and wondering.
