I am doing and WinForms VB.Net 4.6 Application.
I have the main form with his MenuStrip Control. Inside a Child Form a have a panel docked in left side of the Form. I need to had a simple menú inside this Panel.
I have tried with MenuStrip, what I do not found a way to put it inside a Panel. I have tried with UltratoolbarsManager from Infragistics, but it does not fit.
If there a way to add a menú using a Panel as Container?
Thanks
If you drag the menustrip inside your panel you can acheive your goal...
alternatively, you can add your menustrip inside your panel by code:
panel1.Controls.Add(menuStrip1);

I want to make my application so that when it has been maximized the control will automatically position itself it the right place.
Assuming that this is a WinForm project, you need to set the Anchor property of the button to Bottom, Right.
The most useful control is the TableLayoutPanel. You should put all the controls on the panel -> set dock: Full and every time the form resized, the controls stay in their container.
I am trying to make a transparent control with child controls that are visible and opaque.
I have added a panel control to the main form via code in the form load event. In this I am adding five buttons as child controls like: panel.controls.add(). To all of these, I have set backcolor=color.transparent.
When I run this program, the button background shows the background of the next button in the panel. If I open a child form, then I can see labels on the child form as the background of the panel.
I want to make container panel control completely transparent, so I can see the main form through it. How can this be achieved?
When the form loads, you can see neighbor buttons behind the actual buttons
"Perform Check" is a label on a child form which I opened right before taking this picture.
: "Check Cases and Combinations" is a button on a child form which I opened right before I took this picture.
How can I make it truly transparent? Why doesn't the background of the panel control refresh with the main form background? The panel sort of "keeps" whatever happens on the main form and shows it as a background.
I found out there some issues with setting controls that are transparent and on top of other controls in the main form. They take the background of the container form, whether or not there is any control in between. I used WPF form instead of the panel and it worked perfectly.
I am developing the application using VB.Net, in that i am using the menu. but the menu is not visible when the form is scrolled down. how can i fix it?
I think you are looking for the Dock property:
MyMenuControl.Dock = DockStyle.Top
"Gets or sets which control borders are docked to its parent control and determines how a control is resized with its parent."
Please excuse my lack of familiarity with vb.net. Just got thrown on a project with no vb.net experience.
I have to add some things to an application that was written by somebody who is no longer in the picture. I have to add more textboxes into a groupbox and when I do that it exceeds the size of the form. How can I make it so that I can scroll through the groupbox?
GroupBox, as it doesn't derive from ScrollableControl, so itself can't have scrolling functionality.
So...
Place the GroupBox inside a panel, and set the panel AutoScroll to true.
Guides:
Adding a panel control
Setting properties (of anything)
Moving content is just simply selecting all the elements you want to move, and click and drag them into the new place.
You could set the AutoSize property of the groupbox to true, and then set the AutoScroll of the form to true as well. This should resize the groupbox so that everything in it is visible, and then the form will have a scrollbar. If you don't want to make your form have a scrollbar for some reason, then you could use a panel and set it's AutoScroll to True so that just the panel has a scrollbar.
Add a Panel with no border inside the GroupBox to group your controls (put the controls inside). Then:
Panel1.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Vertical
Or even ScrollBars.Auto.
GroupBox doesnt have scrolling functionality itself. Most likely most simple solution here is to just put a Panel inside the groupbox and add the textboxes to the panel instead.
Is there a control in vb.net that is specifically designed for displaying content larger than the control itself?
I know it's possible to code your own using a panel and two scrollbars, but is there an already existing method for this?
Thanks for your help
All control containers, such as Panel, FlowLayoutPanel etc. have AutoScroll property, which does what you want.
