View 5 Repliesi want to snap one forms edge to another when within 10pixels of each-other.
I did try a little with LocationChanged event, but i couldn't get this to respind in the way i wanted.
Ideally i want to snap a second form to the rightmost edge of my first form.
Im using this code
Private Sub Form1_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.MouseEnter
For i As Integer = 38 To 2 Step -1
Panel1.Height = i
Next
[CODE]...
I have 2 panels on the form butttt for panel one i want to slide height and panel 2 i want it to slide width.
Im Using VB 2008. I have MsgBox() statements in all Mouse & Form Click events to TEST & NOTHING FIRES during Form Load when I click on Form or Button Controls !!! The Form Load event contains code for Displaying the Label.Text control many times with changes in the Text to simmulate annimation.

I'm a really beginner so i want to know if its possible to make the mouse move to certain co-ordinates outside of your form and then click , and then pause before repeating.
View 3 RepliesI've got a usercontrol that's a simple rectangle with three labels on it. It's essentially triggered to give a caption to an image when the mouse is moved over it. As I feared, adding the control to the form (or any container on the form) restricts drawing the control to the region defined by the container. I tried increasing the region of the form and the container, but it still didn't draw outside the container.
So my question is: Is there a way to make the control display partially inside the container/form and partially outside it, or is there a better object type that will do what I want?

I would like my 'quit' button to appear in the bottom right hand corner of my menu screen, but it seems that every computer in the office has a different sized screen, different size ration (some are widescreen) and different resolution. When I deploy my program, the quit button may appear off-screen (the user has to scroll down to find it) or it may appear half way across the screen on a widescreen laptop for example. If I set my form to 'maximized', is there a way to position a button relative to the bottom right hand corner of the form? Also, on one maximized form I have two datagridview's side by side. Is there are way to automatically set each one to take up half of the available form width, so they fill the form nicely?
View 2 RepliesI've got a borderless form that I'm handling the MouseDown, MouseMove & MouseUp events to do the dragging and re-sizing which I have working just fine but I started thinking how neat it would be if I could have the borderless windows snap to each other and to the edges of the screen(s), this part I'm stuck on. I've got them snapping together just but and I've got it snapping to the edge of the screen but I have a dual monitor set up at home and I can't move it to my right side secondary screen with the code I have now. I'm attaching a sample VS2010 project with only the relevant code for this.Eventually I might add in the snapping to the desktop edge or to another note window's edge when resizing too, but that's not my focus right now.
View 4 RepliesI am currently investigating vb gaming and have set up a test project to move an object; it moves fine. The problem is that when it reaches the edge of the form it continues to move and eventually leaves the form entirely. So my question is how do i work out if my object has touched the edge of the form?

View 4 RepliesHaving some issues with creating a simple control in vb.net.
I create a control with a single label in, I don't change anything except the colour of the control and the label and also making the label anchor to the edges ( with a small border around the edge)
When i then build it and add this control to a form. Some of the edges are cut off and it isn't anchored the way it was in the control.[url]...
as you can see in the second image the control has lost its white border at the right and bottom.
suppose i have two forms form1 and form2
and i clicked on button which lead me to the form2
i want i shouldn't be able click on form1 untill and unless i close the existing form window(i.e form2)
Using the code below:
Private Sub ShowDropDown()
Using f As New DropDownForm
f.Visible = True
Do While f.Visible
Application.DoEvents()
[Code]...
This was a guess, after looking at the Form.ShowDialog method in reflector.My question is, is there a managed call I can make to acheive the same result, and what does a button click do that other clicks don't?
ETA: The problem does not occur if I open the form using a key.
suppose i have two forms form1 and form2 and i clicked on button which lead me to the form2..i want i shouldn't be able click on form1 untill and unless i close the existing form window(i.e form2)

I am new to VB.NET, Now i'm working with Events in VB.NET, I have two event methods, Mouse Click and Mouse Down for a single button in a form, I have displyed a message in each of these methods but only mouse down event is triggered. Why Mouse Click is not triggered? Similiarly I Did the same for Mouse Enter and Mouse Move for a particular button, in this case both the events are triggered.
View 2 Replieshow to raise the mouse leave and mouse hover events for VB when i place my mouse cursor over the button.
When my mouse cursor is over the buttons, it will raise the mouse hover event and open the form, then when the mouse leaves the button, it will close the form upon raising the mouse leave event.
but currently, When i excute this two events, the for will open and close very,very fast. so fast that it is like spamming the VB.
So i am wondering how to change the code that i have to excecute the event one time every time the mouse is over the button which is created at run time.
the codes to execute these two events are:
Private Sub Button_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
For Each ctl As Control In PictureBox1.Controls
[Code].....
[URL] I have tried heslacher's method which is Hi clzanas, you problems had been the result of calling a for each loop inside the events. If you only want for the button you hoover / leave to call the ShowDetails.Open/close, then you can take the code below:
Private Sub Button_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If TypeOf sender Is Button Then
ShowDetails.Close()
[code]....
But i got the same results as my previous code, resulting in the form opening and closing so fast that it is like spamming the window.

View 2 RepliesI am working on a application in which I have to show different forms stacked one upon the other. Due to some restrictions, I cannot use MDI and also it has a lot of issues. I am able to get what I want but with a problem. The forms will be stacked, but they do not remain in the parent form. Lets take it by an example. The structure goes like this.
1) There is a form A (My parent form)
2) a second form "B" opens on a button click event on Form "A". (Note: B.ShowInTaskBar=False)
3) again, a third form "C" opens on a button click event on Form "B". (Note: C.ShowInTaskBar=False)
Now, when I minimize form A, it gets minimized but the Form B and C, remains as it is. I want them to get minimized at the same time. I want form B and C should remain as a child form of form A.

How do i get the mouse pos on the forum at any given point in time such as the paint event or a timer tick ect.Also on a side note,Im drawing lots of single pixels,Im creating a bitmap every paint event (Which fire every 25ms) to do "Set Pixel" on then draw the bitmap...Is that a reasonable thing to do for drawing 5000-25000 pixels at a time or is there a faster way?
View 4 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 RepliesIm new to this forum and VB Programming. I have installed Visual Basic Express 2008 and SQL Server. The first thing I did was create a new project and within that project created a new sql database. The database I created is to keep a list of clients and I have fields such as client_ID, Firstname..etc The next thing I did was create a data entry form for all the database fields using textboxes. Also 2 buttons named save & cancel. So when the user fills out the client info and clicks on save I want the data to be written to the client table. I know the code has to be written within the save button but I don't know where to start like opening the connection, writing to the database and closing the connection.
