I am overriding WncProc to make sure my form's location stays within
specified parameters. Basically, it has to stay at the top of the
screen and not be off to either of the sides. All that works when the
form is in its minimal size. However, when the form is maximized using
the appropriate button the code that is supposed to set the location is
ignored. When the form is switched back to the standard dimensions
through the restore button the location setting works again. My
debugging information shows that the code used to set the location is
processed when the form is maximized, as it is when the form is not
maximized. I do not get any error messages. Here is my code:
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
Const WM_SIZE As Integer = &H5
Const WM_MOVE As Integer = &H3
Const SIZE_MINIMIZED As Integer = 1
Const SIZE_MAXIMIZED As Integer = 2
Const WM_EXITSIZEMOVE As Integer = 562
Const WM_SYSCOMMAND As Integer = 274
Try
If m.Msg = WM_EXITSIZEMOVE Or m.Msg = WM_SYSCOMMAND Then
Debug.WriteLine("msg" & " " & m.Msg & " " &
m.WParam.ToString)
If Me.Location.X + Me.Width >
System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.W idth Then
Debug.WriteLine("Too far right")
Me.Location = New
System.Drawing.Point(System.Windows.Forms.Screen.P rimaryScreen.Bounds.Width
- Me.Width, 0)
Debug.WriteLine(Me.Location.X & " " & Me.Location.Y)
ElseIf Me.Location.X < 0 Then
Debug.WriteLine("Too far left")
Debug.WriteLine(Me.Location.X & " " & Me.Location.Y)
Me.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(0, 0)
Debug.WriteLine(Me.Location.X & " " & Me.Location.Y)
Else
Debug.WriteLine("Something else")
Me.Location = New
System.Drawing.Point(Me.Location.X, 0)
Debug.WriteLine(Me.Location.X & " " & Me.Location.Y)
End If
End If
MyBase.WndProc(m)
Catch ex As System.ArgumentException
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
