I have two DataGridView controls, with three buttons in between them vertically, in a VB 2005 form that need to be resized and moved around on a form resize.
The code below works, and does what I want. It takes the difference between the new size and the default size, splits the height difference between the two DataGridViews, and moves things around correctly.
What bugs me about it is that I've hard-coded the defaults into the ResizeEnd handler. How would I go about passing the default size so that I don't repeat myself?
Even better, is there a way to do it with anchoring, docking, and other stuff, so that I don't even need to write code?
Private Sub dlgShowAssets_ResizeEnd(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.ResizeEnd
Dim defaultWindowSize As New System.Drawing.Size(759, 619)
I have developed a windows application on a size of 1366,768. When i have opened the application on another pc, the location of the controls are not the same anymore. Part of the application can't be displayed as well. How can I handle that in vb?
i have created a windows form that has some labels, lines , buttons and i have enabled autoscroll property to true. i am having trouble with relocating and resizing of the controls with resizing of form and change in screen resolution.i have used a code liike dim tmpctrl as control
for each tmpctrl in me.controls tmpctrl.setbounds((tmpctrls.location.x/X)*me.width, (tmpctrls.location.y/Y)*me.height, (tmpctrls.size.width/X)*me.width,(tmpctrls.size.height/Y*me.height)) next
now as my form is a scrollable form.and the total window portion with respect to which i want to resize n relocate. m having trouble in choosing X , Y in the above code.
I have to implement an application that allow the user to design his own card, the user will be able to drag and drop controls from toolbox and move them in the form and re-size them.
I can't make the control to be resizable,and i want to make the control just like the one in visual studio designer with the container that allow user to change the size ..
I do want my windows to be resizable i.e. the MDI Child ws should not be resizable. owever, I could not find any property which I can set for the same.
I have a listbox and a panel. In my forms resize event, my listbox is always form1.width * 0.5 and then the panel is also, but it doesnt work very well. They overlap at a certain point but in theory, they never should. Is there something wrong with my logic?
we all know how to dock or anchor controls so that they resize themselves accordingly when a form is resized. It works fine till we have rows of controls on left and right size of the form. But what if have three columns (Columns as in visual sense. I'm not talking about any column control containing other controls) of controls? For example a form having a bunch of controls in the left side, a bunch in the middle and a bunch in the right. There may be a few more bunches in the middle. Now while resizing the form, I want the controls to resize accordingly as well as change their positions to make space for the previous bunch of controls that are resizing.
I mean, while the user increases the form size horizontally, the controls of the second bunch should resize and at the same time they should move right because the controls of the first bunch are increasing horizontally too. When the user decreases the form size horizontally the same thing should occur in the reverse order. I can manage it somehow using nested split-containers but that's too cumbersome. I would like to know if there's some better way to achieve it, like setting some property etc.?
I'm not going to post my code for my transparentlistbox class, but here is a link to it.It's been working fine as is, until early this morning when I tried to set a different size.[URl]..For the longest time I placed a normal listbox control on a form and resized that, setting a new public variable of transparentlistbox to the same size/location as the original listbox, setting the visibility of the original to false, and adding the transparentlistbox to the form (me.controls.add).It looked like this:
[Code]...
Now, since I've moved some buttons around on my main form, I resized the original listbox control to be wider (same height though). When I tested, the transparentlistbox (code didn't change still set to original listbox size/location), the size was that of what I had the original listbox set to, before resizing?
So, I commented out all of the custom drawing/paint events/etc I could find for the transparentlistbox and tested, still stuck to the original size. I stepped line by line debugging and verified that transparentlistbox1.size=listbox1.size indeed matched the new resized size (but didn't actually resize)?
Last I did was comment out the transparentlistbox.visible and put back the listbox1.visible and listbox1 does indeed show with the new resized size? I'm not quite sure what to test next?
I have a windows form with a groupBox and several controls ( textboxes, checkboxes, one grid, labels ) in the groupBox. I want to make the form resizable , such that the controls would resize themselves when the form is resized instead of overlapping each other.I tried docking and anchoring in several ways, but I am not able to achieve this.
I have two controls inside a user control. They are set to be anchored left and right in order too size with the window as it changes size. For some reason I'm having tons of issues getting this to work properly.
Particularly, when ever I build the project and the control reloads itself, these controls triple in size, and extend way off the control. If I re size them and repeat the process it happens again! Anyone have this issue or know what might cause it?
I have a basic windows form. I have one command button of the default size right in the middle of the form. I also set the anchors for the command button to keep it in the center when the window form is resized.The issue is when I maximize the the window form the command button remains in the center, but it has grown in size tremendously (almost taking up the entire form).I want to keep the command button centered when the form is maximized, but I also want to keep it the same size. Is there a property for the command button I am overlooking which will do this?
I have a form that sits on the user's desktop. It's only purpose is to display specific information about the computer. The layout is basically setup like this:
[Code]...
I want to be able to give the user the option to display whatever data they choose. In doing so, I'd like the form to resize itself based on the how many labels are in the form and for the labels to align vertically.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? For the form, I was thinking I could get the location of the last label and offset it's size by the location, or something similar.
I have a development system and two test systems. My development system is Windows 7 (64 bit). My two test systems are Windows XP (x86) and Windows 7 (x86). I have created a program on the development system mostly in VB.NET 2008 and deployed it. It looks nice on the development system and on my Windows XP system, but when executing the software on my Windows 7 (x86) system, all the form sizes and components somehow grow. To investigate the issue, I moved over the entire project and opened it on the Windows 7 (x86) system to find that the sizes have somehow changed in the designer there as well. I opened up the .Designer.vb files and the sizes there all seem correct. Then I go to the IDE and the sizes are larger than they should be. For example, I will set a form size to 532, 217 on my development PC then it will show up as 709, 267 on the test system. I tried putting in code on my form.load event to set the size to 532, 217 then re-deployed it, but again, it executes and the form is too large.
I have a project running in my old computer. It has panels,textboxes,labels etc. It occupies the full screen when running.I bought a new computer with a widescreen format. When I run this project it only occupies 2/3 of the screen.
What properties of the controls must I use so that I can run this program in any size computer and still occupy the full screen i.e the size is proportionately resized depending on screen size.
I have a code method that I wrote in vb6 that works on every screensize and resolution combo...however vb.net is not letting me do this. Here is what I do. upon form load at program startup I gather all of the data of the controls (height,width,top,left,font size) prior to the form actually resizing and I store those in a listbox that is not visible. Then when the form resize is called I proportion all of the controls from their old positions versus the new form size.
Where is the best place to resize a control on a form when a form is resized?....I'm currently using the Form1_SizeChanged event and seems to work ok. Also is there any need to check in the forms resize event if the form is in a minimized state before resizing controls?.,.. in VB6 if you try to resize a control when the form is minimized you get an error, but I don't see that happening in BV10 Form1_SizeChanged event, does VB10 automatically ignore resizing controls when a form is minimized or something?
First off I'm using the Extended Webbrowser control from: [URL]
I use the Webbrowser control to access an ESRI web based mapping solution. When the ESRI map is loaded into an IE browser and the browser is resized then the map control resizing accordingly. When my Webbrowser control is resized the map webpage is not resizing properly.
I don't even know where to start with this problem. Is there some event that's not firing in the website? I can't simply refresh the whole website because the user may have panned and zoomed around. I want to just tell the website that the container control (Webbrowser control) is resizing now.
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've got a set of controls in a line inside"FollowTableLayoutPanel1", contained within "TableLayoutPanel2".I have them resizing according to the position of the mouse cursor; the closer the mouse cursor is to the vertical centre of the control, the larger the control is. Because FollowTableLayoutPanel1 has its anchor property set to "Top", it recentres itself in TableLayoutPanel2.It is possible for the recentring of FollowTableLayoutPanel1 to move a control one pixel further away from the mouse pointer, which causes the control to shrink, which causes FollowTableLayoutPanel1 to recentre, placing the control closer to the mouse pointer, which causes the control to grow,which causes FollowTableLayoutPanel1 to recentre, which moves the control further away from the mouse cursor, etc., etc., etc.The end result is that the whole setup judders and wobbles, constantly resizing.Full example code is provided below,and can be pasted directly into Form1 of a new project. Positioning the mouse cursor to correctly show the problem is left as an exercise for the reader :
Public Class Form1 Private Sub myInitializeComponent() Me.components = New System.ComponentModel.Container Me.TableLayoutPanel2 = New System.Windows.Forms.TableLayoutPanel[code].....
I have seen this happen before but am not sure how I resolved it in the past. On runtime the controls of my form change from the windows 7/vista format to an older version format as shown in the attached image.
How to display the controls in the format on the left (new windows format)
It is possible to create windows service using windows form control in vb.net. The windows forms control such as, Timer control, list-box, notify-icon control etc.
I just made a basic browser using VB... So now I am wondering how to make it resizable so that when it is resized the browser and buttons remain in same layout but the text box and browser space resize to the new screen size and the buttons do not change layout or get covered (it has buttons for back, forward, refresh, home, and stop then a text box for the url and then a go button, I want them to remain in same order but the text box to enlarge and the go button to keep to the right side of the box - and I want the browser spot to grow too).
I am running a program that needs to allow the user to be able to change the size of a text box at run time. I know I need to use the MouseDown, mouseMove, and mouseUp events. I just need some help with the coding to send the information.
Recently I was working on a project that included several DataGridView objects. With one, I dynamically create columns based on the types of data being displayed. I established a baseline size (so each column would initially display the same width), and a minimum size. AutoSizeMode was set to None. I knew that I wanted the new column to be resizable by the user, so I put in code to that effect: Resizable = True
When I tested the code, the columns were not resizable. I traced the code, looking for anything that would reset the property Resizable to False. Nothing. I commented out the line with the Resizable = True command; The columns were resizable after this. At this point, I remembered that Resizable is defaulted to true. But I still did not understand why the columns were not resizable after setting the property to True.
I did some experiments. If you create a new DatagridViewTextBoxColumn, add it to the DatagridView, and then set the Resizable property to True, the result (via Watch) is False {2}. If you do the same, but set the Resizable property to False, the result is True {1}.
This is disturbing (and confusing) on at least two levels. The fact that the exact opposite boolean value is passed in. The fact that {2} is False. It was always my understanding that VB treated {0} as False, and Any other value as True.
