I have a form with an A4 image in the background (a standard questionaire). on that form i have textfields to fill. But if we scroll to the bottom of the form, the textfields scroll, but the background does not. How to fix the background to stick with the texfields ? VB.NET visual studio 2010.
Place a panel on the Form.
Place all your controls inside the panel.
Set the Background of the panel to your image.
Size your panel so that it is large enough to hold all the controls.
Place the panel at 0,0
Set the Form to AutoScroll

I am using Visual basic 2010 for coding. I have develop the code on desktop. Where I have adjusted form as per my desktop screen. I am going to run the application on Laptop. When I run the app the screen is not fitting to Laptop screen. SO I deciede to include vertical scroll. If moved up and down we can see all the parameter.
How can I do it?
I have added image for reference.
The scroll bar(s) should be inside the individual TabPages. You should set the Anchor and/or Dock properties of the TabControl so that it resizes with the form and set the AutoScroll property of each TabPage to True if you want it to display scroll bars if and when any of its child controls are outside its viewable area.
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 a Outlook 2013 Addin. I have a Panel which I align to bottom of the user control programatically by:
botpanel.Location=New Point(0,Me.height-botpanel.Height-5)
This works fine when the Menu Ribbon is not pinned.But When the Ribbon is pinned the botpanel goes beyond the visible screen.
Need help on this.
Instead of setting the panel location programatically, set the Dock property on the Panel to Bottom at design time. This way the panel will be automatically positioned when the UserControl is resized (due to the Ribbon being pinned \ unpinned).
The problem was actually caused by the panel above it.
I re-initiated the above panel as
abv_panel.location=New Point(0,0)
So that re-initiating this location of panel on User-Control Resize event will bring back everything normal.
I have a borderless form that I'm "docking" onto the top edge of my screen. Inside of the form, I'm placing a single toolstrip control, which docks across the entire form -> (picture the taskbar to get an idea of what I'm talking about).
Because the borderless form has no edge to it, I wanted to draw a black line along the bottom edg` of the form to differentiate the form from the windows or desktop behind it.
The problem that I'm facing is that`the toolstrip will not move "behind" the line when it's docked, no matter how I order the control layers.
I've tried programatically sending the control to back to no avail either.
Any ideas on how to get the line to show above the docked toolstrip?
Dock another control to the top that displays like a black line (e.g. a Label with a black background and a height of 1). Insert your ToolStrip after you have docked the Label. It will dock just below the Label.
I have a Windows Forms VB.NET application, with a panel that contains a few other controls.
I set the panel's AutoScroll property to True, and that seems to appropriately apply the scroll bars when they are needed. The issue is that a user must scroll all the way to the right to access the vertical scroll bar. Is there a way to always show the vertical scrollbar no matter where the user is scrolled horizontally?
EDIT
I guess the main problem I have here is that I have a DataGridView inside of a panel. I want the panel to do the vertical scrolling, and not the DataGridView. Why is it when I turn off vertical scrollbars on the datagridview and have autoscroll on the panel, a vertical scroll bar is never shown?
You could add a VScrollBar on the right side of the panel and set code behind to move the panel scroll up and down.
or
A better option may be to switch your panel to a FlowLayoutPanel which provides quite a bit of control over the scroll handles both vertical and horizontal.
