Supposed to be my form should be in maximized state when the time passed. However its not fully covered my screen its just covered slightly half on top left of my screen. What i meant is that i set my timer into 500 and decrease it by 5, while the timer running i open my WarCraft3 and its in full screen, when the time expires my form should be in maximized state "covered my screen" but it doesnt, i know it is because when Warcraft3 open it changes the resolution. SO am i able to fully covered my screen ?
I have my start up form in maximized window state, but this cause the splash screen appear behind the startup form, which cause it cannot be seen.Even i have set the time longer to display the splash screen.It still do now work. I have tried below code in the start up form but it is not working...
Private Sub Main_Shown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized End Sub
I am using VB Express Edition 2010, and I want a button, when clicked, to make the form 'full screen' (border style done and maximised window state) and once clicked again, to return the form to maximised but with a fixed single border style. Here is my
I have a toolstrip on a winforms application and below it a DataGridView. Everything looks fine when the program runs initially. If I maximize the form though, the DataGridView covers part of the toolstrip. How can I make the toolstrip lock in place so that nothing will overlap it?
How to check weather the window is currently maximized or restored. I want to do something like if window state maximized then border none and if window state regular, then form border style sizable. This is what I wrote
I'm having a lot of trouble with the windows in my application to size correctly. As a sample, I have a container form (mdi parent), with in which is Form1 (with a datagrid) and a form that is only called when a cell in the datagrid is double clicked. I want Form1 to always be maximized so I set the properties as follows:
So when I maximize the parent window, Form1 maximizes and shrinks correctly... but when I double click on the gridview and the popup form comes up, several things happen: 1. Form1 (in the background) goes back to normal size (not maximized) 2. If I click on Form1 (when the Popup form is on the screen) the form disappears into the background... What I need to happen is for Form1 to always stay maximized, no matter what happens on the screen, and when the pop up form is on the screen, I should not be able to click on any form in the background, and it should never disappear into the background itself.
I created an ASP Table Control and added a row to it programatically. I then repeated the process to add another row. The first row that I added disappeared and only the newest row is being displayed. Is there a property that needs to be set to allow the state of the table to be saved?EDIT:All I do is click a button on the page and it adds a row to the table. Repeated clicks of the button only add one from to the table., here is the function that adds the rows.
Protected Sub addItemButton(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) 'get the id of the item they selected Dim id As String = CType(sender, Button).Text

I have an MDI Form that contains an MDI Child form. On this child form is a flexgrid. When the user double clicks on a row in the flexgrid this loads another MDI Child form. I have set the following properties on the second child form:
The problem is that if the first MDI child form is in a maximized state and the user double clicks on the flex grid, the second child form loads in a maximized state too! How can I stop this?

Long time since I was active on this forum, but I recently picked up VB.NET again. I'm working with VS 2010 Express now, and I want to create a little app that resides on the side of my screen (about 40px wide), to collect data.
I've seen this program, Trillian, 'docking' to the right side of my screen, thereby making the maximized size of all windows just as much as the space left of the application window. In other words, even if I maximize other programs, the Trillian application stays visible at all times, on the right side of my screen.
Now I was wondering, is there any similar effect possible with VB.NET?
I have a Windows Form Application to which I added a splash screen created using the splash screen template. I also added an MDI Parent Form. In my project properties, I chose the splash screen and the MDI Parent as the loading form.
I want the MDI Parent to load Maximized, so I changed the WindowState Property in the list to do just that. Now here is the problem:
If I leave the WindowState set to Normal, the splash screen loads, does its thing, closes, then loads my MDI Parent just like it is supposed to, BUT, if I set the WindowState of the MDI Parent to Maximized, the splash screen displays for about a second, the MDI Parent loads on top of the splash screen, and the splash screen finishes in the background and then closes.
I tried giving Focus back to the splash screen in the Lost Focus event but that didn't work. I know splash screen is still open and working when it gets covered up because I can hit ALT+TAB and see it just before it closes on its own like its supposed to. I also never adjusted any of it's time settings or any other settings.
How do I keep the splash screen on top while my MDI form is Maximized? or how do I delay the MDI until the splash screen has done its job? I dont understand why I am getting this result.
I am developing a application where I have 1 parent from (windowstate of Parent from is set to Maximized) and 2 child forms. In my Parent form I have a menustrip with following code to activate child -
Note: I am working with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. Note: There are a lot of MDI Child posts, but none (that I have found) that apply to my scenario... Scenario I have an MDI form with a UserControl docked at the top. The UserControl is for navigation and is ~50 pixels in height. When I show a child form with its WindowState property already set to 'Maximized', the child form shows maximized in the MDI parent, but behind the UserControl.
So as the message says i believe im having a problem when declaring an array as control. The background:Im doing a school project where a picture is covered by 48 buttons. When a user clicks a button, they are asked a question. If they answer write, the button disappears until the whole image is displayed.
Im using each buttons visible property to hide it. Now that i think about it, i should probably un-enable it after a question is answered correctly.anyway, I keep getting a NullReferenceException when making the visible set to false. Any suggestions would be awesome. I have already created all the buttons and named them Q1-Q48.
I am trying to build a battleship game. The project is giving me one minor difficulty (so far). I do not know how to create the game board made up of 100 buttons. I can obviously drag and drop 100 buttons onto the form but this lacks a certain style, it would also be a pain. How do I create a form covered with required array of buttons automatically?
In my project, I have a form with a background pic that I like, but unfortunately, I also have a ListView on that form which covers most of the picture. Now, is there a way to find the part of the background image concealed by the ListView, and then display it as a background image of the ListView at decreased opacity? You know, like a vague image.Just one more thing, setting the form's transparency key to the background color of the ListView is not an option.
BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?
I created a User Control and I used a button to "call" this control. However, when it shows up, it's being covered by other controls. How I can make sure this control on the top?
My program shows some browser. From a browser user can open maximized MDI form with some report. When user is closing the report, first MDI form with browser is became maximized.
2 forms have same MDI parent. Can I change this behavior to leave my first browser form without maximizing after second report closed?
I have a form which I want to keep maximized and all other forms to stay their original size. The problem that I am getting is when I open an additional form, it also maximizes even though I have set the form size to Normal. When I click on the Maximize button to put it back to the size it should be, the form that I want to keep maximized also reduces in size.
When my MDI child loads, its maximized. This makes it display an icon on its top left conner in the parent's toolbar. Is there any way i can do away with this default, MS icon!!
After maximizing a form, if I drag the title bar, the form moves out of position. This seems to be normal in windows, since IE does it also, but can I disable this? so the form stays fixed and unmovable?
I have a form showing a datagrid with info from a database. It also has 2 date pickers to filter the database results. It shows everything perfectly in the datagrid, so the db connection is ok. But it also has a few labels below, showing some info taken from the datagrid. For example, the datagrid has sales information and the labels below show the total sales. This works fine too.But the problem comes when I open some other form, maximize it and then open this form containing all this stuff (while the previous one is still open and maximized). These labels (along with a few more labels that only contain the '$' character) get on top of the datagrid. Even if I restore the form to its normal size the labels are positioned wherever they want. The weird thing is that this only happens with some labels and not with all of them.My first guess was the anchor property, but I set it to left-bottom and it still does this.
I'm doing a project in computer programing. I need to make a game so I made pong.everything is working fine, except when it loads it is often so low that you cant see the bottom paddle and i have to move the form up.is there a way that i can make the form automatically load already maximized, or load at a certain point in my screen?
how can i calibrate my form to be the same size in accordance to the screen size. So for instance if the original size of the form is 10cm by 10cm then when its maximized, how can i make the real size change automatically, because at the moment when i maximize the size of the buttons and labels etc. stay the same.
Commonly if I maximized my form. It'll look like this And now, i just want to ask a simple question.. How to centered all those components if i maximized it??
