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

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 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 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'm trying to programmatically dock a stencil window on the right side of the screen. I know I can set the WindowState property of the window to visWSDockedRight but if I already have stencils docked on the right, the stencil I'm trying to dock gets its own sub window, rather than just appearing on the stack of other stencils.
While this is almost what I need to do, it's not quite there. It would be much better if there was some way to add the window into the already-docked windows.
I have a bank of docked stencils on the left side of the screen and another on the right. I can use Documents.OpenEx to open the stencil docked, but I can't specify which dock to use.
How are you opening the stencil? If you open it like this, it should just dock itself in the stack of open stencils:
Documents.OpenEx "stencil.vss", visOpenDocked
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.
