Dock Windows In Vb6
Hi Gurus,
It seems like a stupid question, but I'm having hard time to fix it.
I accidentally moved the Project and Properties windows from the right side of the main vb6 application window. Now I'm unable to "dock" it back there. The two windows are ready to sit on either the top or the bottom, but not on the right side. Please help.

Dock Windows To The User's Screen.
How would I dock a form to the top of the user's screen. An example of this is the Windows taskbar. I know I'd get the user's screen width and such like that but how could I move all other windows to make them viewable. To show what I mean, resize your windows taskbar. Increase the height. It moves all of the windows to a visible position. Any help would be nice. Later.
P.S. I wouldn't want to show the TOP, LEFT, and RIGHT borders of the form. Just the bottom border.
Code To Dock Windows Taskbar?
Hi, I've developed an Access app in Screen Res 1024 x 768, however user doesn't want to use this resolution all the time. I have code that auto changes her resolution up to 1024 when the database is launched, and back to 800 x 600 when it's closed.
Problem is that when this code kicks in and changes her res to 1024, the windows taskbar appears reduced in size, halfway up the screen, and needs to be manually dragged down to the bottom to dock it.
Does anyone have code that automatically restores the Taskbar to it's 0,0 position at screen bottom? I've seen little apps where the transparency of the taskbar can even be changed, so surely this is possible.
Thanks

Form Dock - Winamp Style
I have a module I found at Planet Source Code, it is a very nice window 'docking' - or snapping, like winamp does. It works very well, a form can be specified as a parent and other forms will 'stick' to it when the user moves it. BUT, I NEED this to work with MDI children and it does not. I have included the bas file, its implementation is simple:
on the form load:
DockingStart Me, True
The 'true' specifies a parent form. Then on unload:
DockingTerminate Me
Can anyone give me some idea how to tweak this to get MDI children to stick to the docking form set as a parent?
How Can I Dock SHBrowseForFolder In My Main Form?
Hey guys,
Could someone please tell me how I could keep the Explorer looking window (SHBrowseForFolder) in my main form? You know, so that it doesnt open a new browsing window but that it will always have a browsewindow open on the main form at all times. That way I can make it so that when a user clicks on a directory it will display the files in that directory in a filelist on the side. Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

Dock Form To Screen, Reserve Screen Space
Dear all,
I've searched and searched all over the Internet. I've posted messages in newsgroups and only gotten responses that basically tell me how to do the opposite of what I want while also suggesting that I should want to do it their way instead of mine.
This is what I want:
I want my application to "dock" to the top of the screen. It should become reserved space so that all other windows, when maximized, will only reach the bottom of my application.
I do NOT want it to "auto-hide"
I do NOT want the user to be able to "move" or "relocate" it to a different side of the screen.
I do NOT want the user to be able to "undock" it
Every sample or answer I can find is a way to do it with all the things I said I DON'T want, and all the code I have to pick through has been confusing me. I cannot find what I need to just dock the application upon loading and leave it there until exit.
I've been playing around with the sample application called "AppBar" which I think came from MSDN or from somewhere on the Internet, but that application starts off floating and you have to dock it yourself. I cannot manage to pick out the functionality of just docking it and leaving it there.
Help, please!
Thanks.

"Dock" Form To Desktop
I need is some "simple" code that, how to say, "reserves" space to the right of the screen like for instance the ICQ contact list does, to ensure that all normal windows does not overlap.
Does anyone know how to do this? I have found huge modules that allows you to create a docking toolbar like the MS Office one that can be moved around and docked at every screen border etc. but I cannot find out how much and which code from these giant modules I should use.
Example: http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/Sho...22898&lngWId=1

Windows Form Data-->web Form-->windows Form
Hi folks
I have windows form that ask the user to 'Add New customer' and the info entered by a user in this windows form will be First Name, Last name,
Address, City,State,Zip,DOB,Phone,SS,Driver’s License , Account Pswd. Now there is a URL on the windows form, upon clicking the URL i am stumped about the following two things
1- Upon clicking the URL , i want to log-in to the website, that opened on the URL click, automatically. I mean SOFTWARE should do the loging, rather than asking the user to enter user name and password by hand.
2-After signing in a webpage will open up that has same fields like windows form(the web page is also a Add New Customer page). I want this webpage to populate its fields with the data that we entered into the windows form?
Okay i have no idea how will i materialize aforementioned question number 1. Regarding the 2 , there are folks who have suggested me followign two things
i)-windows form data should be taken to the web form in a query string(i don't like this approach)
ii)-The data entered in a windows form should be stored into a database/file(preferrably in XML format), and then webpage should read the data from this file/database(I like this , however i don't know if its gud or not...i mean there could be better solutions)
So please guide me....and enlighten me with the probable solutions. I really appreciate your time and effort. Any help, comments will be highly appreciated.

Want To Keep A VB Form On Top Of Other Windows...
Hi there,
I hope someone can help me with this.
I've created a simple ticker with info scrolling across it. Problem i have is that when the user opens any other windows, it falls into the background. Is there a way to have the form on top permanently? i don't mind it covering the title bar of any other windows, just as long as the ticker is visible.
I'm sure there will be a simple answer to this, so i hope someone shed some light on this...
Much appreciated,
James

Form Always On Top Disrupts Other Windows
Iam developing a LAN management apps for internet cafes and network gaming shops which is about to be finished. Iam suppose to send a notification to individual clients when their time is about to expire or has expired. I have accomplished this but I have noticed some problems when the client is running games. The approach is to pop up a window (a form) showing the message, make it on top using SetWindowsPosition API for a few seconds, then unload it automatically. But when games using DirectX are being played, the game minimizes after my form is loaded. When games using OpenGL are being played, my form could not maintain being on top at all and disappears from the screen just as soon as it loads. Can anybody explain whats going on? Or better yet, can anyone help me work-around this problem?

Windows Re-sizes My Form!

Form Refresh In Windows XP
Hello,
I am working with a VB program that for some reason, in Windows XP, and NT environments, will work fine for a few minutes, but then stop refreshing itself. The program works fine in this respect on a Windows 98 machine. If on Windows XP, I set the compatibility mode to Windows 95/98, the program will refresh itself again. The program is automated, that is, you start the program, and it gathers some data and then ends. There is no user interaction other than starting the program. I have been told that there is a setting in the registry that can be changed to correct this. Does anyone either know what the registry setting is, or even why Windows XP treats the program this way? I don't want to have to use compatibility mode unless absolutely necessary.
Thanks!
