I am creating a program with a web browser component, and a tab control. Default, the web browser is anchored to the toolbar. In my program there is an option to make a toolbar at the top of the form visible.false. Is there a way to make the web browser anchor to the top of the tab control when the toolbar is not visible, and anchor to the toolbar when the toolbar is visible?? I have experimented with docking (fill) but then parts of the web browser become covered by the toolbar and status bar. I am still relatively new to visual basic 2008 so if you could please explain or provide code that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot in advance,

Have you though about doing it with code rather that anchor and dock
CODE

If Me.ToolStrip.Visible Then
' Tool Strip is visible so attach to bottom of toolstrip
me.WebbrowserControl.Top=Me.ToolStripBottom
Else
' Tool Strip is not visible so attach top to top of form
Me.WebBrowserControl.Top=Me.Top
endif

Sure! at the top you can see that the toolbars is not visible but the web browser does not expand to fill the empty space and so all you see is the background color of the form.. what I want to do is make it so that the webbrowser expands to asnchor to the tabcontrol when the toolbars are not visible and anchors to the of the bottom toolbar when the toolbars are visible.

Try using
CODE

If Me.ToolStrip.Visible Then
' Tool Strip is visible so attach to bottom of toolstrip
me.WebbrowserControl.Top=Me.ToolStrip.Bottom
Me.WebbrowserControl.Height-=Me.ToolStrip.Height
Else
' Tool Strip is not visible so attach top to top of form
Me.WebBrowserControl.Top=Me.TabStrip.Bottom
Me.WebbrowserControl.Height+=Me.ToolStrip.Height

Endif

Will I have to remove the property anchors because I have tried both ways but sill it is not working? I have tried messing around with the code but sill nothing happens when i make the toolbar visible.false and when i switch back.... could it be an anchor property i.e webbrowser2.anchor........

thanks

Remove the anchors and dock (set them to none)
Put the code in the ToolStrip1.VisibleChanged event

The private means it can be access from within the form.
Score of Variable Tutorial

vb

    Private Sub ToolStrip1_VisibleChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStrip1.VisibleChanged
        If Me.ToolStrip1.Visible Then
            ' Tool Strip is visible so attach to bottom of toolstrip
            Me.WebBrowser2.Top = Me.ToolStrip1.Bottom
            Me.WebBrowser2.Height -= Me.ToolStrip1.Height
        Else
            ' Tool Strip is not visible so attach top to top of form
            Me.WebBrowser2.Top = Me.TabPage1.Bottom
            Me.WebBrowser2.Height += Me.ToolStrip1.Height
        End If

        If Me.ToolStrip1.Visible Then
            ' Tool Strip is visible so attach to bottom of toolstrip
            Me.WebBrowser2.Top = Me.ToolStrip1.Bottom

            Me.WebBrowser2.Height += Me.ToolStrip1.Height
        End If
    End Sub

the height changing code works great but the thing is it changes the height from both the bottom and the top....so when the program default starts the webbrowser is not the proper height...also the Me.WebBrowser2.Top = Me.TabPage1.Bottom and Me.WebBrowser2.Top = Me.ToolStrip1.Bottom do not seem to work??



sorry i forget to add this......here is my slightly altered code


CODE
If Me.ToolStrip4.Visible = False Then
            Me.WebBrowser2.Top = Me.TabPage1.Top
            Me.WebBrowser2.Height += Me.ToolStrip4.Height And Me.ToolStrip6.Height
        Else
            If ToolStrip4.Visible = True Then
                Me.WebBrowser2.Height -= Me.ToolStrip4.Height And Me.ToolStrip6.Height
                Me.WebBrowser2.Top = Me.ToolStrip4.Bottom
            End If

        End If

Change the names to the name of the control you are using.
