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.
View 2 RepliesI'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.
View 2 RepliesI'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.
View 1 RepliesI 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'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'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?
Visual basic 2008.I want to make an on screen keyboard exactly like the one in windows. I have made one which uses app activation, but that only works with the one you write in your codding or using a combobox to select one. How do you make one that works with everything like the one in windows.

I'm trying to make a simple appbar on the right side of the screen. I have accomplished this many times before.. but I can't seem to get it working in Windows 7. The placement seems right, and as far as I can tell the messages seem to be in the right order. I have tried both Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle .None as well as Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedToolWindow. What am I doing wrong?

FormA calls DialogB where user cancels DialogB which exits via ForceTermination(), see insert.Caller FormA check for DialogResult not = OK, which it isn't, and I can see this in debug as Abort(3).However, the code continues merrily along its way until I get a 'null reference' error which I'm trying to avoid via Force Termination().This is caused by the user cancelling DialogB, a selection process to get a database (SQL) instance.[code]
View 13 RepliesI have a program developed on a machine with high display resolution. Now when I try to run it on a computer with low resolution, the screen got cut off. OK, is there a way to make the program working with different display resolutions?
View 2 RepliesI have read that VB .NET in earlier versions limited the FORM size to that of the development machine screen resolution.I am hoping that there is a way in the current VB 2010 to get around that.However in my attempts to make the form larger, it always resets itself to the screen height on my develoment machine.Is there a way to get around this and have the person be able to use a scroll bar to move down?The data I wish to show actually has two screens worth of information but the stuff in the scroll down section would be used on a limitied basis so scrolling will be useful rather than having to recreat the screen to show less data at one time.
View 2 Repliesi have been recently working on a project in VB 2008 it is a web browser. My Problem Lies in...when a form is opened on a smaller Monitor It does Not Look Normal (Stretches)
View 2 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? 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?
View 2 RepliesFirstly 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.
View 5 RepliesI have a windows form with nothing more than 4 picture boxes on there and a button. How (if even possible) can I show this page in full screen mode but at the same time allow each control on the form to format and resize in proportion.The best analogy I can give to describe what I want is when thinking about PowerPoint. When you create a slide and then press the F5 button to go into slideshow mode, no matter what size monitor or resolution you use, it always fills up the screen appropriately.

How Can I make the form full screen ? i want the codewhich can do this
View 4 RepliesI have created a form for a user to add a new booking to a database, the form uses text boxes, labels and datetimepickers to handle the data. [Code] My problem is that when I print the document I get the following "311salesmeeting". This is the data from my text boxes, but I want the form to print as it is on my screen. I have done some reading up and the only other way I can see to print a form is to load the form into a bitmap file and print that. Is this correct, or can I alter my code some how.
