I'm working on a form for an Access database I'm putting together. In the Design View I've gotten the area covered with grid to be the right size for the form. When I go to Form View though, there's a ton of empty space on the right & bottom. How do I remove that empty space?
Here's what the form looks like in Design View for context:
Answering Andre's questions:
Popup? Currently yes, but I'm not dead set on that. It's also Modal for what that's worth.
Maximized? No, when I go to Form view it's got at least a couple inches from where the grid space stops in my screenshot though.
Tabbed or Seperate? Not sure I follow. If you're meaning is the Form opened on a tab in the Access main pane or in a seperate window it's seperate.
If it's a separate window (popup or not-maximized), then setting the Form.AutoResize property to Yes should do it.
For some more info ("tabbed document windows" is an option for the current DB), see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34321906/3820271

I have a singular view residing in a view container, and I wish to have one title encompassing them. For instance, this view's default position is in the panel, but when moved to the activity bar in another view container, the title is displayed as [view container title]:[view title]. While this makes sense, it would be nice to display my view as [view or view container title], without a colon expecting a second part. The VSCode standard views like Problems, Output, Debug Console exhibit the wanted behavior. They just display as "Output" or "Problems" when placed in another container, rather than something like "Panel:Output". Is it possible to have a single title with no colon/second part? Thanks.
You may try to use the contextualTitle property of the view. Based on its documentation when launched, it should fit your needs:
https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_46#_flexible-layout
For extension authors contributing views or view containers
When views are moved around the workbench, they sometimes need to be presented differently, either with an icon or extra context if they aren't in their default location. When contributing a view, authors may now provide an icon property and a contextualTitle. If not provided, these will default to the icon and title of the view container to which they are contributed.
I'm not sure they updated the API or updated the behavior since then but, if not, you will probably face the same issue I had while trying to use it. I even opened an issue to the VS Code team (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/102447), but they marked the issue as designed and I gave up on using it.
Hope this helps
I have designed an Access 2016 form with an embedded subform.
When displaying my (main) form (shown in 1st picture), I notice a space below the sub-form and above the "Form footer" that I cannot see in design mode (see 2nd picture).
I have no clue how I could get rid of this unncessary space. Can someone help me out to find out what I have missed in the design of my userform ?
Many thanks in advance.
The simplest way would be to move the buttons from the form footer to the bottom of the detail section.
Then get rid of header & footer, and set the form to Auto Resize = Yes.
If you don't want to do this, you must set and save the display size (height) of the popup form in design view.
You can't do this with tabbed documents, you need to switch to overlapping windows:

(and then open the form non-maximized in design view.)
It may take a bit of trial & error to get the height exactly right in design view.

I have an MS Access form where I have the main navigation page set to be centered and it works... kinda.
This form file has to be used on monitors of many different aspect ratios: 3:4, 16:9, and 21:9. When the form opens, it is properly centered in whatever window it opens. But when that window is then maximized, it doesn't re-center and instead sticks to the left side of the screen. Sometimes if I move it between monitors, the form is far 'off screen' in its own window and I have to scroll in the form to bring it into view, then it's stuck on the right hand side of the form.
Is there a way to force the form to re-evaluate what "centered" means?
It depends on how you are centering. The easiest way for objects to be dynamic is to use the form layout tool called "Anchoring". I like to make my layout expand to fill up the window to allow centered objects to remain centered as the window changes.
I am new to iPhone development. I am using Titanium for developing but I guess that hardly concerns my question.
What UI elements where used to develop the certain pages of livingsocial? There are hardly 5-6 windows in the whole app.
a) For eg: if you see the main page(daily deals,escapes,purchases,settings) - did they use a window with a black background image & then added tableview to it for the four options? each tableviewrow has different images. Is that how it could be done?
Also if you notice the four options are scrollable but the heading livingsocial stays static & looks different from the native UI. How was that done?
b) If you look at sign in page (in settings) - they have two textfields & a sign in button inside a window. For the last element (Don't have an account?), is that again a tableview inside a scrollableview?
It would be great if someone can give a general outline as to how they developed their app & what UI objects we used.
edit: please find the screen shots :

That app uses a custom made UINavigationController (for the static bar at the top, that can accommodate the title of the view and different buttons depending on the view currently showing, namely a back button for returning to the main view) and UITableView with custom made cells.
b) If you look at sign in page (in settings) - they have two textfields & a sign in button inside a window. For the last element (Don't have an account?), is that again a tableview inside a scrollableview?
No, I think that's a UIButton, that just happens to look like an isolated cell. Also, that view doesn't look like its scrollable.
I'm not familiarized with Titanium, so I can't give you any directions there. But keep in mind that using custom controls usually takes more effort than simply using apple's own default.
In answer to your first question:
I'd use a tableview for that, with custom made cells to create that look. If it is not a main window on your tab you'll have to remove the 'back' button, otherwise it'll be fine.
In answer to your second question
The first 2 are textfields. The rest are all buttons (and the text above facebook button is a label).
If you're using titanium you could take a look at the kitchensink example.
Hope this helps!

In my iPad application there are many buttons (around 50), and I want to make a group box which contain buttons arranged by category.
I am looking for something like a C# or .NET GroupBox/Panel.
There is no Group Box / Panel Box in iPhone.
You need to manage by your self.
Use the UITableView to put all the button in on category.

It may be worthwhile to look into UIPopoverController views. These are the little popup views that appear when you click stuff. YOu could easily break your menu system into smaller parts with these.
You may draw a group panel by making two views. make a view of frame say 20,20,280,199 and then another one with frame 21,21,278,197. now put the 2nd view on the last one and change the color of last to some dark than later one. enjoy :)
remember that the should be in same hierarchy. that no one should be parent or child of any of these.
