Regarding the code on http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/system/, I contacted the author asking him how to get it to work in VB.NET (which it supposedly does), and he replied: Hmm... you've got me there. I don't develop with .net, so have not tested the code in that tool. However, I'd be surprised...

Brian, Thanks so very much for all of your help on this! It worked and I deployed the project! Many stars to you! Lazer

This function looks great but always returns FALSE for me. I've got my own Desktop set at 1280 x 1024 with SMALL fonts. That means that is should return TRUE. Using the debugger, I see the variables have values that seem way, way off: hWndDesk = 5326858958733322 hDCDesk =...

Brian, Wait a second. I think we're on different channels. I am referring to the setting one can change when doing the following: Right-click on the Desktop (not .NET related at all) then: Properties | Settings | Advanced You know - the Display Properties for one's computer - there's...

This question is an offshoot of a previous discssion found in thread796-789479. Lazer

How do I detect whether the font size set is to "LARGE font" (125% normal size - 120 dpi) or "SMALL font"? I am referring to the setting one can change when doing the following: Right-click on the Desktop then: Properties | Settings | Advanced Thanks! Lazer

Brian, I get a 'System.NullReferenceException' when I use that line. And just to clarify - I am referring to the screen properties that one sets by right clicking on the Desktop, etc. Thanks, Lazer

But one more question on the topic... Aside from the enduser's 1280 x 1024 screen size - they also have the screen properties set to LARGE font size (125% normal size - 120 dpi). How do I detect that? Thanks very much, Lazer

Oops... I had these lines reversed when calling my sub: menu_form = Me screen_size(menu_form) Thanks! Lazer

Thanks, guys, for your help. One more related question... When I try to go ahead and resize the form, it doesn't seem to work: Sub screen_size(ByVal form_name As Form) If Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width() = 1280 Then 'resize form to 90,70...

Brian - that's what I was looking for! RiverGuy - Great ideas. I might look into AutoScale, actually - now that you got me looking at those properties... Thanks very much - stars for both!!! Lazer

I forgot to mention that this is a Windows form app. -Lazer

I was all ready to deploy an app onto a couple endusers' machines. I went over to the first one's computer to watch the big launch of my app with the marching band and balloons to celebrate ...well, maybe the band and balloons part is a bit exaggerated. In any case, after she ran the install...

Chiph / all, I now call Dispose() on all "suspect" objects and it seems much better. Without Dispose, out of about 30 times, it crashed 5 times. With Dispose, out of 30 times, it didn't crash at all. Now don't get me wrong - I do not understand how a garbage collection issue leads to a NULL...

Chiph, Thanks for your reply. No, I'm not currently doing that. Which object should I dispose - the CrystalReportsViewer? But even if I need to call Dispose, how would you explain why replicating the same scenario repeatedly - on completely static data sometimes be null and almost all of the...

I have a VB.NET Windows form that I've been developing for about a month. The app consists of several forms. Aside from all of the usual Windows Forms controls manipulation (i.e. the GUI), it executes some simple SQL statements against a SQL Server 2000 database that is on the network, and...

Bigfoot, Did you try Application.DoEvents? Lazer

It's not writing a routine like you asked, but the first thing that comes to mind is to use the Import Wizard to make a DTS (from Enterprise Manager) to do it. It can parse text files into SQL Server. Lazer

After packaging my app for distribution, I ran it on my enduser's computer. Question #1 Although I set the "Add/Remove Program" icon with an icon that I already have in the project, the actual "Add/Remove Program" icon itself is not the icon I chose, but rather that of a...
