Screen Size of my deployment screen is larger than my development screen.
If i try to set my form size larger than my development screen size, IDE doesnot accepts this.
Please let me know How can I use a form larger than my development screen Size?
We did development of a VB application on a machine with a high resolution screen. Also the machine where the real application runs has a high resolution screen. After a while we wanted to do minnor changes on the application and we wanted to use a low resolution laptop for that. When we opened the application for editing we saw that all forms changed their sized automatically AND unwanted.How can we build and change applications in one form size that does not change depending on the resolution of the machine on which edits are made?
View 2 RepliesI have read that VB .NET in earlier versions limited the FORM size to that of the development machine screen resolution.I am hoping that there is a way in the current VB 2010 to get around that.However in my attempts to make the form larger, it always resets itself to the screen height on my develoment machine.Is there a way to get around this and have the person be able to use a scroll bar to move down?The data I wish to show actually has two screens worth of information but the stuff in the scroll down section would be used on a limitied basis so scrolling will be useful rather than having to recreat the screen to show less data at one time.
View 2 RepliesI'm making an application in vb.net and during the development has arisen the need to make a form greater than the screen resolution.For example:
Screen resolution: 1280x800 and 2560x1600 sizes form
Obviously, the form should
not have scrollbars.
How to make the form size automatic setting the size equals to the screen. or Maximize the whole form including the form components.

View 11 RepliesI 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)
View 2 RepliesI have a requirement to do a quick print of a form. This form has all kinds of controls and data. The problem is that the form is too wide and the left side of the form gets cut off when printing... when I use the PrintForm power pack control.I tried using bitBlt and it did the same thing. I could not see how to shrink the image to fit.
Also when getting to the Printer Dialog, the printer option to "Shrink to Fit" did not work either.How can I shrink the image? I do not know much about printing and thus printing each control is foreign to me.
Anyone know of a way to fit a form to the size of the screen automatically? So it is fully visible on a 10" netbook if you designed it to fit a 13" screen?
View 2 RepliesI'm wanting to make a "Farmville" like game. However, I dont know how to make the map larger then my viewable screen. So how do you make your forum larger then the viewable screen and allow players to "scroll" through the map or allow them to "zoom" to different locations of the viewable map?
View 6 RepliesI have the following barcode image:
I'm using the following iTextSharp VB.NET script to generate a PDF document containing this barcode:
Dim pdfDocument As iTextSharp.text.Document = Nothing
Dim filename As String = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("barcode.pdf")
pdfDocument = New iTextSharp.text.Document()
[Code]....
When this PDF is generated, however, the image is appearing larger than expected, and is distorted:
I can't see anywhere where I'm setting the image to be a specific size, so why would it distort like this? And how can I prevent it?
It's crucial that this image remains the size it is intended to be so that it can be read by barcode scanners.

When I manually increase the size of my form in runtime, the controls remain in their positions but i need to make it stretched as photos the controls to be sticked to the background.This problem actually appears when I display my program on my laptop but using LCD screens with different resolution, I need to make it dynamically autofit the screen if possible...
View 5 RepliesWondering if there was a way around the seemingly nonsensical editor changing of the maximum size form you can edit/create to some value approaching the screen resolution you are working on. This is a P.I.T.A. as I often edit pages on a laptop with a smaller max resolution than the monitors I typically do layouts for.Any way to by pass this to let me edit larger screen sizes on my laptop?
View 1 RepliesOkay: I've been searching the threads and MSDN and elsewhere and either its not there or I am simply not understanding what I am finding.I have an image which at full resolution is larger than my screen (actually it is larger than any screen). I want to be able to look at parts of it at full resolution in a client area that is the size of the entire image at full res; that is, I want the window to exist without any scroll bars and want to be able to examine different parts of the image by repositioning the window on the desktop.
In general, I've run into trouble insofar as windows (or maybe VB) won't let me make my window any larger than my operative desktop (although interestingly it will let me place the window to the North-West of my visible screen). What it won't let me do so far is to grow my window any larger than my desktop.
So far I have noodled a couple of different possibilities, in descending order of preference:
(1) Find some way to exempt my window from the limitation that it be smaller than the desktop;
(2) Virtually increase the size of my desktop so that it is as large or larger than my image (i.e., find some way of exempting my desktop from the limitation that the desktop represent the dimensions of the screen/monitor -- understanding that those two are not the same);
(3) Simulate a multi-monitor configuration (I'll probably need at least four); or
(4) Actually configure my system for four+ monitors (I don't even know whether that's possible, but its certainly not my first choice).
Does any one have any other ideas or suggestions as to how I ought to proceed?[URL]..
when the message box appears after enter is seleted, is there a way to:
- put a title on the message box?
- make the font size larger?
- change the background color?
- make the box itself larger than the longest text imput?
- have the ability to copy to clipboard what is in the message box so it can be pasted somewhere else?
I've a form set to size 1240:750. On my PC where I've VB2010 installed, the screen size is set to 1680:1024 and the form can be viewed fine but on a PC with screen size set to 1280:1024 (higher than the form) the form in question is cropped almost a third of it. To adjust the form to everyone screen size I set the below code at load with no avail.
'Autosize form to screen
Me.Height = (SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Height) * (0.9)
Me.Width = (SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Width) '* (0.9)
Me.MaximumSize = New System.Drawing.Size(Me.Width, Me.Height)
Me.MinimumSize = New System.Drawing.Size(1240, 750)
How to re-size all control within form to fit different screen resolution?
any solution on this? my control always run out of the screen size... can it re-size every control before the user can see the form load..?
I designed a form which contains about 50 objects all kinds including tableadapters,buttions,grids, tabs. What is the best way to optimize the loading with less time consuming. I cannot split objects in on different form as all the objects has to appear on screen as a requirement.
But my primary question here is, i designed this form with all these objects on a 15" monitor which fitted 100% on the screen. Now i am using 17" monitor when i open this form on run time, all the objects are appearing as designed but theres a 30% form area which is left blank. How can i make the form objects resize automatically on run time itself to fit on different size of monitor with no area left blank.
Anyone knows how to change the Forms and controls of the project as the Screen resolution of the computer changes?

View 6 RepliesI am creating an application for a company and this CD will be distributed to hundreds of people. Many users will have different computer screen size and different screen settings such as their resolution set to 1024 x 728 and their monitor size 17" inches.
I noticed when I loaded the application on a different computer with different settings the application was to big for the screen and did not work. I notice that lot of other programs from microsoft resize their controls and text but never knew how they did it. How can I resize the form and control according to the user's setting.
how do i set my vb2008 form in such away that the form size aint affected by screen resolution settings
View 3 RepliesNow 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 :
<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 500px;"></div>
But this is for web pages using HTML and CSS.
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?

View 1 RepliesWhat is the size difference between desktop and screen size?
I've been developing an application, which consists of a bar to the bottom of the screen that I want to keep allways visible .
When i open a window and maximize it, it do not stay behind the bar but only to maximize the top of the bar!
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.
Trying to understand the basics of grid design so how would I make a over sized grid or a grid larger then whats viewable on my screen resolution? Below is a simple chart describeing what i want to make roughly. I would like to build the grid in "blocks".[URL]..
