Use TableLayoutPanel Control To Expand Label Text For LCD TV Screen Size?
Jan 25, 2011
I'm using VB.net 2005 to code an application that will be a used as a "digital sign" to report factory production levels and will be displayed on a 55 inch wide screen LCD TV/display. So I am putting my controls in a TableLayoutPanel control so they will expand to use the whole TV screen and can be view from a distance. (I have my FormBorderStyle = None and WindowState = Maximized.) My Form is set to AutoSize = True and AutoSizeMode = GrowOnly. My TableLayoutPanel AutoSize = True, AutoSizeMode = GrowOnly, and Dock = Fill. I'm using Label controls to display the text on the display and they are set to AutoSize = False and Dock = Fill. When I run the app. the Gauge control expands on my 19" monitor like it should, but none of the Label Text expand. How do I get the Labels to enlarge / Fill there area? Is that not possible?
I have a routine which allows me to expand the size of my DataGridView within a TableLayoutPanel. Effectively it repositions the DGV to the first row and first column of the TableLayoutPanel that it is in using the SetRow and SetColumn methods of the TableLAyoutPanel. Then it sets the column and row span by passing the row and column count properties of the TableLayoutPanel to the SetColumnSpan and SetRowSpan methods. It work fine. There are two buttons on the form, One expands the DGV the other returns it to its original state.
My question is, how would I set this up if I wanted to do this for all the controls in this TableLayoutPanel and/or every control on every other TableLAyoutPanel on my form. I am assuming I have to use a class as I would have to create an abundance of public variables to pass the row/colum and row/column span starting positions to.[code]....
I have a picturebox that I am importing an image to. I need it to expand but not expand past my buttons at the bottom of the screen. When I import the image it takes up the whole screen and covers up my buttons.
I have been using vb6 for a while, I am following a tutorial by MS to develop a basic application and a simple task cannot be completed for whatever reasons! The tutorial asks to drag the label object from the toolbox and drop in the tab control container. Then, go to the label size property and adjust the size to some different dimansion. Basic stuff, right? It won't let me do it! After I enter the new dimensions (which by the way are not large or very small), the label size (both width and height) resets back to its original dimensions! I have the vb.net sp1 installed.
I am working on a application which is basically a screen designer. I have implemented the form designing capabilities using IDesignerHost and other interfaces. In my application user can pick a component from toolbox and drop it on the designer screen and can configure the properties from property window. I have my own set of properties which gets populated from database. Screen designer is working fine but the problem occurs when user changes some properties from property window. Say user changes property 'Width' then I change the width of the selected control in designer but the problem is SelectionOverlay shows the old size. When I select another control and select old control again, SelectionOverlay(resize handlers which appears around the control) shows properly. How can I tell the SelectionOverlay that the size of the control is changed.
I am trying to make a form expand from one size to another using a slider animation.
The problem is when I run it the form resizes but without the animation. I'm not sure how to use the animation when resizing the form. It works if the form is a set size and then I run the animation.
The form is borderless and starts out with a width of 11 and I want the final width to be 285.
The resize and animation are triggered by clicking on the form.
Here is the code.
Private Sub Form3_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Click Me.Width = mintformmaxwidth
I tried to change the size of a label from 2 text boxes, but doesn't work. Here is my code:
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click y = TextBox2.Text x = TextBox3.Text Form2.Label1.Size = New Size(y, x) End Sub
textbox2 is width and textbox3 is height. It doesn't change and I don't know why.
I had an old program that I upgraded from VB6 to VB 2008. I am creating a program similar to it in VB 2008. There is a piece of code that I tried to enter into the program I am creating now from my old program. It tells the computer that if the label's text is a certain text that is on the clipboard, then the text size will be smaller.
If LabelAbsent.Text = My.Computer.Clipboard.GetText Then Label104.Font = VB6.FontChangeSize(Label10.Font, 8)
When I insert this code into my new program, it doesn't recognize the "VB6" in the code. How can I get the same result in the program I am currently creating?
Now I'm creating at app in VB (Microsoft's, Visual Basic 2010) which will be in full screen but I want to know if I can put all my content in the centre of the screen. At the moment it's at the far top, left of the screen. When the screen size varies I want it will stay in the middle for all shapes and sizes. Like :
I have created a GUI and have set my 'Form1' window to match that of my PC monitor ( 1280x1024 ). However when i move the project to work on my netbook, the screen on my netbook is only 1024x600 and half my GUI is missing. Is there any way i can adjust my settings so that my 'Form1' GUI will auto adjust and display in full on both screen when i move the project back and forth?
I have a label which appears full screen on a projector (VGA 2). In this label I will be sending strings. Some one liner's, some wrapped paragraphs. Some multi-line with carrage returns. My goal is to have the font dynamically change size to be as large as possible without overflowing the fixed label size.
If I have form say sized 1300 x 800, I would like to proportionally size the form to the computers screen size. I can get it to size to the screen size, but it is not proportional
I developed a form application on my computer, but when it was used in another computer with different screen size, i was told the form didn't fit. Do I have to adjust the form size or any other ways to let the form compatible on different screen size? (could be different screen size or wide screen)
i've been coding a sidebar but i dont know how to make the size to aoutomatically fix the screen size..i mean if the screen resolution is 1000x789 or 890x678 s stilll fit to it I have find in google and youtube but still i didn't get any ides on how to do it And also if possible can we code s sidebar that automaticcally hide when we did not move our mouse to it?
VB.net / VisualStudio8 I have an application I've written that's been very stable. I had it set to exactly 1024x768 resolution, and to windowsstate=maximize (I think that's what it's always been).
I recently started coding to give the user the option to use the 1024x768 or to have the program detect the max size of the screen and use it.
That part works great... I'm using:
Dim MonitorWidth = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width Dim MonitorHeight = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height Me.Height = MonitorHeight Me.Width = MonitorWidth
What I'm baffled by is that the application now won't get off the max screen size. It's using the max of the screen, even when I do not call the screen resizing code above. I'm trying to give the user the option of the application only taking up 1024x768 (and placed up to the top left) or maximizing the application using the full extents of the screen.
SubMy problem is that I want to be able to determine the CHECKBOX checked state within this sub. The sub is being called when the checkbox is checked, but I can't seem to find a way to do the conditional.
I have a checkbox in my options form to change every every font size in the form to something like "20" when it's checked. is there a way to globally change the font size of everything when the checkboxes checkstate becomes checked.
I have an RTB. Actually it is a RichTextBoxPrintCtrl as per KB 146022 but I don't think that matters.
I am printing the contents of the RTB on a label. I have determined the appropriate margin settings to cause the contents of the RTB to print on the appropriate label (there are 4 per sheet). That all works.
But I want what the user sees on the screen as he types to match what prints. So if he types three lines of data he gets three lines on the label. Also, if scroll bars appear, that is a clue that he have filled up one label. By trial and error I got the size of the RTB just right using the default font (MS Sans Seriff 8.25).
But when I or the user changes font size, the on screen display no longer matches the printed label. The label prints properly but it is not an exact representation of what is on the screen.
Is there a way to fix this problem so the screen representation of the label is always correct even when the font changes.
I'm trying to display a few words in a label control aligned right. I've tried setting the text alignment to TopRight / MiddleRight etc. but nothing seems to work and the text is always displayed left-to-right. How do I display text from right-to-left, like MS Word's "Align Right" feature?
I have a User Control with a label on it. I have a Master Page that I have dropped the User Control on. I have other .aspx pages that use the master page that has the user control on it.
What is the best way to change the text of that label on the user control from the .aspx page?
I don't understand why my Label and Text controls are aligned when placed on a winform in design mode, but when I run the application the Label and text controls are uneven and spreaded apart. I using VB .Net 2008.
I tried adjusting the TextAlign property on the label control but the problem still exist.
