Worked for the Chinese...oh wait, no, that was a total failure.
Gas went down a few more pennies today!
I got some code I wrote pretty much myself based on some research to force a windows form into fullscreen but there is a issue with it could someone take a look at it? I may be adding it to the code bank - Because I am Sure Someone would appreciate it....
Gonna post in VB.net section
ok nvm, here is the code (May still make a post)
It works GREAT no Issues well sort of -Code:Private Sub ToolStripButton5_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton5.Click, FullScreenToolStripMenuItem.Click
ToolStripButton5.Visible = False
ControlBox = False
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
Me.Size = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize
Me.WindowState = 2
Me.Location = New Point(0, 0)
Me.TopMost = True
Me.FormBorderStyle = 0
Me.TopMost = True
ToolStripButton6.Visible = True
End Sub
'Exit FullScreen.
Private Sub ToolStripButton6_Click_1(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton6.Click, ExitFullScreenToolStripMenuItem.Click
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
Me.Size = MaximumSize
Me.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.Sizable
ToolStripButton5.Visible = True
ControlBox = True
Me.TopMost = False
ToolStripButton6.Visible = False
End Sub
When you first load the application and every time - you have to go into - back out and back into fullscreen just for it to be right.
The code took me a few months to come up with. This being is because there is no native "Form.GoFullScreen"
Wished it was that easy - Sure there is a way for me to write a class maybe but rather not for now.
The code really isn't that hard to understand...But I just don't understand why it isn't working when I hit fullscreen the first time...
Some pictures:
Form load
1st FullScreen
2nd FullScreen
Edit: Updated second screenshot so you could tell the page is larger (its in fullscreen)
Went ahead and made a post but, still wanna get your guys oppinons you guys hang here a alot..

Still give any feedbakc here I am listening (you may have to adjust the size of your form when it starts up to use my code it was written some time ago)
That ^ Is my browser project You guys (gals) outta try it out xD http://beffsbrowser.tk ever since I joined here I have learned so much and developed this soooo much that its exciting where I am now with it. Its more mature than ever.
Thats fine DDay. Just a code review no judge on the browser control - Really it doesn't even use the browser control on my second one because you are recording changes to a text box not the browser itself (in a way yes but really its just the textbox)Quote:

@JDC, I applaud your efforts but your probably going the wrong way about directing folks to the. Posting in ChitChat, and particularly the PostRace thread, is likely to just bring a bunch of sarcastic responses and bad puns (it's kinda the theme here) and very little constructive response.
Instead, ask any questions you've got in the relevant forum (.Net in this case) and people will help you out. Once your code's complete then posting it into the CodeBank forums is always welcome. If you want feedback and for people to offer some constructive criticism then the CodeItBetter forum can also be a good spot (if a little quiet).
I hope that doesn't come across as discouraging you. I actually think you're making a great contribution. But ChitChat's probably the wrong place to do it.
They just didn't build it big enuf?Quote:

Once or twice I think.
Hey DDay - I didn't know you were a guitar player... How long have you been playing?
I've played off and on since I was a senior in high school, so for about 7 years.
I love music and playing it too.
Like I'm looking at my Pandora radio right now and this is my list(chronological order from the time last played):
- Outkast
- No Doubt
- Streelight Manifesto
- Of Montreal
- Dance Gavin Dance
- Frank Sinatra
- Opera
- Escape the Fate
- Highly Suspect
- Envy on the Coast
- Meg & Dia
- MGMT
- New Orleans Jazz
- Iron Maiden
- Grateful Dead
- Operation Ivy
- The Beatles
- Patsy Cline
- Jimi Hendrix
- Wayne Toups & the Zydecajun's
- Bright Eyes
- Bluegrass
- Rick James
- White Zombie
- Kevin Gates
- Death Cab for Cutie
- John Lee Hooker
- Dr. Acula
- Ludwig van Beethoven
- B.B. King(my first concert by the way)
- Prince
- The Doors
I started by learning percussion in band, so I'm very familiar with many different percussion instruments like the bass, snare, cymbals, timpani, bell kit, etc.
Then I picked up the drum set to be in a ska-punk band in my early high school years.
Then I picked up the bass guitar because my best friend played one.
Then I picked up the guitar to be in a southern hardcore band. These were some of my favorite shows to play!
Then I picked up the piano because my youngest brother started playing. I'm not very good at the piano though, I can play "Home Sweet Home" by Mötley Crüe and other simple songs.
Then when I married my wife, her grandfather built me a cajón(he's a woodworker) and so I started fiddling around with that.
Finally I had my son and I haven't really played much since.
I've been playing bass guitar and harmonica since I was a senior in high school, so for about 33 years.
Shortly after my 50th birthday a couple of months ago I bought my first actual six-string guitar and I've been teaching myself to play it. Picking it up pretty quickly.
Oh I forgot that I played the accordion too, though that may just be a regional thing like the cajón.
It seems like being a senior in high school teaches you more about music than anything else ;)
Or at least it teaches you that you can pickup chicks if you play an instrument :D
I'm pretty much a blues man... Most of the stuff I listen to is Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson (I & II), Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Elmore James, etc...
I was never much of a harmonica player until I started hopping freight trains around the country back in the late-'80s. Amazing how good you can get when you have nothing to do but play.
Are there any other reasons to do it? LOLQuote:

How is an accordion like an Uzi? Both can clear a room in seconds...
Thanks, folks. I'll be here all week...
I don't know if you saw or not, but my first concert was B.B. King.
I was young, probably about 9 or 10 years old, but I remember it like it was yesterday. My first guitar I ever heard live was Lucille and she sang wonderfully.
My first concert was the final "World Series of Rock" at old Municipal Stadium in 1980: J. Giels, Bob Seger, Eddie Money and a band nobody heard of called Def Leppard.
My wife laughs every time Def Leppard comes one because I start playing the air drums with 1 arm.
LOL he still had both arms the two times I saw them ('80 & '83).
Let us not allow this comment to slide by without the appropriate ridicule. I can't think of anything original, at the moment, but perhaps I could squeeze something out, accordian to my nature.Quote:

Soul and Blues were pretty much the soundtrack to my Childhood.Quote:

My Dad was a Soul & Blues man, Muddy Waters, Bobby Bland, Curtis Mayfield and also cajun and country blues stuff like Dr John and Delbert McClinton.
It saddens me that pretty much all the great blues players are no longer with us.
Metal, metal and more metal. There's nothing like a face melting solo to brighten the day. In fact, I've even been known to adopt the attack pose before tackling a particularly nasty bit of SQL.
Yeah but which types your favourite, Aluminium, Copper, Iron or maybe Zinc ?Quote:
Metal, metal and more metal.
Osmium. 'Cause it's the heaviest.
I listen to a lot of metal too, name some bands that you like!
If I'm in the mood for really technical screamo then I'll listen to some Fall of Troy. If I want something old school then I'll listen to Acid Bath(believe it or not my wife's parrain was in a band with Dax Riggs and Audie Pitre prior to Acid Bath, before practice they'd play what would be Acid Bath songs and her parrain hated it! It finally came down to "are you going to play that crap or play some real rock?" and so Dax and Audie quit). If I want something really hardcore I'll listen to Cannibal Corpse.
iwrestledwithabearonce is another one that I love!
I have no idea what you are talking about, except that a clock face melting solo has caused me to dali.Quote:

when are you touring Europe?
I think there was a brief window of time when reps were turned on in CC. I don't recall whether it started out that way, then was switched off, or if it waffled back and forth.
Still working on the details... I'll let you know.Quote:

Despite my earlier statement I like all sorts of stuff. Big blues fan. Like American folk (not sure if that's the proper name for it - think Bob Segar, Neil Young, Dylan... that sort of thing). Was a major industrial head for a while (got to see Ministry a month ago and Al's still got it). A lot of the UK Garage scene was good although, annoyingly, you yanks did it better (I very nearly invested in Craig David before he was famous but thought he probably wouldn't amount to much without Artful Dodger backing him up:rolleyes:) and I like the harder end of house.Quote:
name some bands that you like!
Where Metal's concerned I prefer the older stuff, eg AC DC, Motorhead etc, and I've still got a huge soft spot for the mid eighties sleaze rock that was big when I was a teen. Sadly, most of the stuff from then was hair metal rubbish but some of the sleazier stuff was cool. GnR being the obvious example but Roxx Gang, Dogs D'Amour, Love/Hate, Vain... loved loads of them. When I listen to any metal from the 90s onwards it's basically heavy because... well, everything else disappeared and got boring. Unless you include Grunge (which had some great stuff) but I don't really call that metal.
I used to play the guitar but can't really do it anymore. I got early onset arthritis in my fingers which doesn't stop me but slows me down just enough so that I get frustrated. I can still play a pretty dirty slide though.

I started smoking cigars again.
I quit for lent this year, but these past few months have been difficult.
I just wanted a quick escape mentally.
Unfortunately I feel terrible about it.
Quitting cigarettes is quite a bit harder to do.
You should start carrying a hookah around with you and whip that out whenever you feel like a puff.
Actually I had an easier job quitting cigarettes than I did cigars.Quote:

You need an orthotic.
