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."

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 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 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.
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.
I am trying to create an application that will start up over the Windows' taskbar on the bottom left corner. I want the form to overlap the taskbar. All my methods ends on making the form load above the taskbar.
You can set the form's property TopMost to true to achieve that
