I have set up a Textbox Resize event, but when I execute the form, it doesn't allow me to change the textbox size. I'm not sure what code to show; this is a VB.Net book exercise that I'm running in VB 2005. [code] I have tried setting the Border to something beside 'Fixed'. All resize references I have found refer to Forms or tables. Is there a property that allows users to resize a textbox?
(
So I am playing around with the resize event. My form is 500 wide, my button.left is at 100. If I use:
Dim int As Double
int = button1.Left / Me.Width ' this = 0.2
'resize event
'Button1.Left = (int * Me.Width)
TextBox1.Text = (int * Me.Width).ToString
The number in the texbox is correct - proportion wise, but it won't set the button1.Left to this number. I'm sure this is because int is a Double where .Left is an integer?
I created so many listviews in my project, that im too lazy to add to each listview a resize event with percentages. Is there any other trick, who just scales the columns so as they are?
View 3 RepliesI'm starting work updating an UI for one of my company's applications and I'm running into a sticky issue. The parent control contains several panels, each of which can be turned on or off depending on user input.
The final panel in the user control contains another user control which gets resizes according to a toggle switch. Essentially, it "opens" up more information.
While the child control (ChildControl) is docked to Fill inside the parent control (ParentControl), when I add height to ChildControl I can't get ParentControl's height to get updated as well. Currently I'm handling the ChildControl.Layout event in ParentControl but I can't seem to reach that code. To resize ChildControl, I'm calling Me.Height += 200 in ChildControl.vb.
What's the difference between the SizeChanged event and the Resize event?
View 4 RepliesFollowing on from my post yesterday (how to anchor buttons/controls to various sides of the current form when the form is resized) I have run into another problem. I am setting the width of my datagrid to be 80% of the form width on a 'form resize' event with 10% of the width at either side so it remains centred in whatever size window is available. This works fine. (mydatagrid.width = me.width/5*4)
I then decided to dynamically set the width of the 2 columns in the datagrid each to 50% of the width of the datagrid. Again, this sub is called in the 'form resize' event. This fails because the datagrid hasn't loaded the data from my sql database when the first 'resize' event is triggered. I did a bit of testing (by placing a simple msgbox statement into the resize event and the load event) and it seems the 'resize' event is triggered three times before the form's load event.
how do I stop the resize event triggering when the form loads (or at least make the load event trigger first).
I've tired to use KeyPress event while in focus of my program's window in VB.Net, but it doesn't work.
For example I wanted to press the number "2" anywhere while in focus of the application and as effect the pixels of the window will change from 200,200 to 600,600 (hortizontal and vertical)
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyPress

using VS 2010, writting small app which utilises wmp.dll (ver: 12.0.7601.17514 (size: 13.9 MB (14,633,472 bytes)).All works fine except on the openstatechange event the player object resizes every time to approx 250x250. Its driving me MAD!. I have even entered overiding height and width values which it rudely ignores...its a bad bad COM object.I have definately captured the event point where it resizes itself to the exit of the openstatechange event.
View 2 RepliesIn my application I have more then one form/dialogs, of course. My start up (main) form is called "StartForm" and when I want to access to some other dialogs, I open up dialog and I put StartForm on ".Enabled = False" so that user can't access to that form even if he click somewhere on it (StartForm is maximized to full screen and dialogs are small so StartForm can be seen in background when you open dialog). Ok, this works fine until I click on my application "link" in task bar...then, only my StartForm is visible and it's ".Enabled = False" so I can't do anything...I must kill process in task manager. Same thing happens when I open some other application and then come back to my application.

View 3 RepliesI want to resize the form size on button click event.
View 2 RepliesBack in the VB6 days, I could count on frmWhatever_Resize() to be fired when a form is loaded. That doesn't still seem to be the case. Since my resize event is filled with all the code I want that adjusts the size and placement of things, I decided to just call it from the end of the form's load event. That has no affect. I'm guessing that the form isn't actually shown until form_load is finished?
is there some other event that is fired when a form is shown, so I can call my resize code there?
When i use my program, i resize my form but my textbox stays the same. I want it to resize itself with the main form.

I just wish to resize a dynamic textbox to the string length of the text
I am working on a site it is in VB.net, I need to createa mutliline text box. I am able to increase the height of the textbox as number of characters increases using java script,however when page get refreshed or loaded again then textbox size comes back to the default height.
Code:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtDescription" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" rows="3" onkeypress="grow();" Width="590px"></asp:TextBox>

I have a MDI form with different controls, two of they are multiline textboxes, and by default the form opens in normal state. Once opened, if I maximize the form all the controls location and size are as I wants (using the anchor property). And now comes the estrange error, if I have opened other form maximized, and then I open the first mentioned form, the multiline textboxes location is wrong, they are upper than the correct location.
Note 1: If I change multiline to false, all works fine.Note 2: The textboxes location is in the bottom of the form and the anchor is left, bottom and right.I try different possibilities and search information in the web without results.
In VB6 we had a code inside textBox_MouseUp to call textBox_KeyUp(-1, 0) and the signature of KeyUp was
Private Sub textBox_KeyUp(ByRef KeyCode As Short, ByRef Shift As Short) Handles textBox.KeyUp
Now when I migrate to .NET I changed the KeyUp event to Private Sub textBox_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles textBox.KeyUp
How can I do this call textBox_KeyUp(-1,0) now from textBox_MouseUp event?
how can I detect if press Enter in the Textbox Change event and not in Textbox Keypress?

View 6 RepliesMy problem is that the RichTextBox control has VScroll and HScroll events, but the TextBox control doesn't have such kind of events. It is possible to follow continuously the first visible line of the textbox by means of the SendMessage Api function in a thread and in case of the change of the first visible line, we can say that the VScroll event occurred.

This code runs correctly. However my program is extremely slowing down with this method. How can i solve this slowness problem or is there more practical way to learn when the textbox is vertically scrolled?

View 1 Repliesthe scenario is the following: I have a textbox ,next to it a button. The user types a value in the textbox, he presses tab, I search this value in the database in the LostFocus event, if there is no match, a browse form shows and the user can select the desired value. After closing the browse form, the focus goes to the next textbox control (and exactly this I want to prevent). The user can click the button next to textbox to choose a value (the browser form appears), but in this case, after closing the form, the focus remains on the textbox control, because before clicking the button, the focus was on it.
So, my question: how can I disable the LostFocus event? Ok, I figured it out: I must use the validating event. It works. But in this case, if I close the form, the event fires up. How can I disable this?
I have created a form to update an access DB table.

View 2 RepliesOn the KeyDown event of the textbox, i need to capture the character pressed and send it to a function which fires a sql query for this character.To get the character i am using Convert.ToChar(e.keycode).However Convert.Tochar converts the keycode to char according to its ASCII value , thus F4 gets converted to "s" as "s" has ASCII keycode of 115.Is there some other way to convert the keycode to character which won't make these wrong conversions as even if i restrict the functions keys there may be problem with other key conversion also.
