Im trying to position a window with MoveWindow() API but it just keeps hiding the window and it has to be maximised to be able to see it.
The code im using is
Public Declare Function MoveWindow Lib "user32" _

ByVal x As Long, _

So the code below is called when a user selects Save on an ExtJS popup modal window. This window ONLY contains a combobox. Now, sometimes when a user saves this, and then re-opens it later on, the combobox will appear BEHIND the window all grayed out, unable to get to. Other times, it will be fine and work, and no difference in events happening either time, just complete utter inconsistency.

I have a program that in its essence is this:

I have a window that needs to run a length process. The process is threaded so it doesn't lock up the screen. However, I need this to run when the window is first loaded, not based on a button click or anything. The problem it creates is that it causes the window to stall a bit when initially painting itself. I even tried to put the call to the method in the Shown event, although it helps, it's still not perfect.

I have a rectangle that I dynamically draw in a Window. Said Window has a background with it's opacity set to 0.4. I'd like to make the area inside the rectangle completely transparent (see what's behind the window).
Here is the code of my Window :

xmlns="[URL]"
xmlns:x="[URL]"
Title="PloofTAS" Height="355" Width="539" Topmost="True"

What I want to make the OpenTK window to be completly independent from whatever is going on with the other controls (for instance if button_click is Thread.sleep(10000) I dont want that my animation freezes for 10s). I want to have it in its own thread (no BackgroundWorker). The problem is I dont know what modifications should I do to get it working. It is currently initialized in InitializeComponent section. I want that all events and everything is handeled in its own thread, basically 2 "programs" in 1 form.

The problem is that this doesn't work on different computers. If I want to mouseclick at coordinate 55,55 on my own computer, it will actually click there. However, if I mouseclick at coordinate 55,55 on my girlfriend's computer, it will click at a different position. It will be near 55,55, but it won't be the same as on my computer.What can I use to resize a window that will work on both my PC and hers?
What is the best way to resize & move a form using just VB commands? I have a form that I need to set the Height and Top props, problem is that takes two calls and there is a noticable flicker. I tried using SuspendLayout/ResumeLayout, DoubleBuffered, swaping the top and height calls around, etc, but nothing seems to help. The test forms only have one small listview and one or two buttons.

View 2 RepliesI have a form which I am adding a gradient to. However on this form I have aTableLayoutPanel (with controls) with the dock set to Fill. When it fills it covers up the form and the gradient on the form. Is it possible to make the TableLayout Panel and its controls colour clear or can you pass the same gradient color from the form to all the controls in the TableLAyout Panel (including the TableLAyoutPanel).

View 7 Repliesi have a form when it appears it has 5 textboxes and 5 labels and a button. the user enters the information in all 5 textboxes and the button dims each as a string eg dim netno as string netno = textbox1.text
it then hides all boxes and labels and displays a datagridview.when the user presses the add record i want it to place the data in the netno in the column0 field for the new record and then focus on the next column automatically,
I have a main form that hides when i open other forms from it. On the child forms i have a menu strip with file:exit and help:about. When i click on file:exit the form closes and the main form opens. using the following:

That all works fine. What ineed is to get the same results when a user clicks on the x in the top right corner.
I have a form that has a toolbar and a status bar on it. After the form's InitializeComponent method is ran, I add a listview control to it and set the listview's dock property to fill. The listview is actually an overridden listview with an overridded constructor - that's why I don't just add the listview using the designer.
But the listview tucks itself up under the toolbar. It looks like the bottom of the listview respects the presence of the status bar. It's just the top of the listview that is giving me problems. So, any guesses as to what I may be doing wrong - why the listview tries to fill dock underneath the toolbar?
End A statement which as far as i know doesn't close you program properly and hides errors. Right now i'm being forced to use end because i don't know how else to close my program properly. I'm not sure where my problem is but some of you should be able to fix it. I'm trying to make a game using directx with a game loop. This code is the skeleton of what i'm making.
Public Class Form1
Private ProgRunning As Boolean = True
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Me.Show() 'Make the form appear
Me.Focus() 'Give the form focus
[CODE]...
This code runs alright because end is being used but if you rem end out the error which it's hiding comes out. The error is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." I'm not totally sure but i'm guessing that the error is refering to the form.
anyone knows the equivalent code for App.TaskVisible in VB.net? App.TaskVisible is from VB6 which hides the application in the applications list in task manager and not in the processes list tab.
View 1 Repliesthe application I am developing does not exit completely. i.e. the process can be seen in the Task manager. This happens only when I click on the [X] button on the title bar of the window of my MDI form. If I use the File >> Exit in the menu of my application, it exits without leaving any traces. I have used the "End" method there. But the process stays when I click the [X] on the control box on the title bar.
View 6 RepliesIs there a command that closes an application completey down, including any hidden forms, etc?
View 3 RepliesI have a form that I use to get the user to input such as a username and password in order to make a network connection. This connection can be disconnected and reconnected as many times as neccessary whilst the application continues to run.
I obviously, therefore, need the form's text boxes, combo boxes etc to reset to their blank versions every time that the form is shown.
In VB6 this was easy; you just unload the form which completely removed the form from memory and thus the next time you showed it it was reset to it's blank state. In VB 2005, however, there is no unload so we have to use Close. I have done this and assumed that it would function in the same was that unload did in VB6.
The problem is that when I close the form using the form.close event handler the form disappears perfectly but when the form.show/showdialog is used the old form data still remains telling me that the form hasn't actually been unloaded but rather appears to have just been hidden.
I'm using VS2010, SQL2008 and using asp.net vb.I have a couple tables, Project and Projectstatus - looking something like this.
project
- ProjectID (autoincrement)
- ProjectName varchar50
- Projectoverview varchar200
[code]....
What id like to happen is that when i create a new project (into the project table), that a row is created in the projectstatus table, inserting the projectID from the project status for reference.I don't think this can be done from within VS, correct? therefore, do i need to create a SP to perform this action from DB side?
When i dim a variable as a form and then close it ( frm2.close() ) then just the form window will be closed. How can i close the form completely so that everything like a timer will be closed too?

View 12 RepliesI am having an issue with my msgbox calls in vb.net 2010. See attachment. Notice the form icon in the top left of the titlebar. Is there a way to replace this icon with my application's icon? I have my app icon already set through the project properties. Barring that, is there a way to remove the icon completely? I've seen of VB.net msgboxs don't have an icon, so I'm not sure how it got there in the first place.

View 7 RepliesI don't know if this is a VB2005 or MS Excel issue so I will start with VB2005.
This is how I open an Excel file in VB2005[code]...
The problem is MS Excel always open a Book1.xlsx in addition to my Data.xlsx. As such closing Data.xlsx only closes Data.xlsx but not Book1.xlsx. Over time, as I continue to develope and debug my program, Task Manager would collect "countless" Book1.xlsx. Wth EXCEL.EXE still opened, I noticed that my VB2005 doesn't work "completely" right.
If this is a VB2005 issue then how do I "completely" close everything that is Excel? If this is a Windows issue, and if you could offer a solution as well
