Custom groupbox control not painting correctly when added to tabpage

I have a groupbox which I created a custom paint event for so that I
can control the border color.
It works great when the groupbox is on a form but when the groupbox is
on a tabpage, the control does not paint properly. Everything is blurry
and the child controls inside the groupbox are also blurry and get a border
drawn.
Any gentle help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan

How Can I input the value of a Visual c# track bar into a pen size value?

How would I input a trackbar.Value into a value for a Pen? I am trying to take the value of trackBarSize and put in for an integer value, is this possible?
On line
Pen myPen = new Pen(Color.Black, trackBarSize.Value);
I got this error:
CS0236 C# A field initializer cannot reference the non-static field, method, or property 'WhiteBoard.trackBarSize'
What would i have to do in order to get the value of the trackbar to be the value of the brush size?
If you want all of the values for each object, I can provide it.

In this declaration line:
Pen myPen = new Pen(Color.Black, trackBarSize.Value);
You can't use trackBarSize.Value because the control hasn't even been created and initialized yet.
So simply pick a default size and use that:
Pen myPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 1);
Then, in the ValueChanged() event of your TrackBar, you'd update the Width property of your Pen:
private void trackBarSize_ValueChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
myPen.Width = (Single)trackBarSize.Value;
}

C# VB2015 Imported Form not referencing in Program

I'm having some serious issues when attempting to add an existing form from one Project to another. I have done a bit of research regarding how to add existing forms correctly to a project and I have located the file through Add Existing. I have also rebuilt the original project to the correct .Net framework (as it was using 4.00 and my current project is using 4.5.2) the issue i am having is when trying to initiate the new form in a button click in my main menu form it does not show up for instance when attempting to reference the form (new Project.Test.Test) it does not recognise the form as part of the project.
All other solutions i have found don't seem to work for me.
edit : This is the code from from test.cs
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace StackedHeader
{
public partial class Test : Form
{
public Test()
{
InitializeComponent();
StackedHeaderDecorator objREnderer = new StackedHeaderDecorator(dataGridView1);
//dataGridView1.Columns[0].Visible = false;
//dataGridView1.Columns[2].Visible = false;
}
private void btnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 3; ++i)
{
int columnCount = dataGridView1.Columns.Count;
dataGridView1.Columns.Add("Column" + dataGridView1.Columns.Count,
"Parent[" + columnCount + "].Child 1.Child 2.Input Name");
dataGridView1.Columns.Add("Column" + dataGridView1.Columns.Count ,
"Parent[" + columnCount + "].Child 1.Child 2.Input Name 2");
dataGridView1.Columns.Add("Column" + dataGridView1.Columns.Count,
"Parent[" + columnCount + "].Child 1.Child 3.Input Name 3");
dataGridView1.Columns.Add("Column" + dataGridView1.Columns.Count ,
"Parent[" + columnCount + "].Child 1.Input Name 4");
dataGridView1.Columns.Add("Column" + dataGridView1.Columns.Count ,
"Parent[" + columnCount + "].Input Name 5");
}
}
private void dataGridView1_CellContentClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)

C# Listbox Drag and Drop Rows

I'm trying to implement a C# drag and drop row-reorder with a listbox. I've come across some snippets of code on the internet but none seem to be working with my needs.
I want you to show me an example code of how to move rows in ListBox.
Thanks!

The moving of rows is done in methods "listBox1_MouseUp and listBox1_MouseDown.
Use view code to change this:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;

using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace Calculator
{

{
private Control trackedControl;
private int gridWidth = 100, gridHeight = 20;
private int row;
public ComponentMover()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
this.InitializeDynamic();
}
void draggable_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (this.trackedControl == null)
this.trackedControl = (Control)sender;
}
void draggable_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (this.trackedControl != null)
{
int x = e.X + this.trackedControl.Location.X;
int y = e.Y + this.trackedControl.Location.Y;
Point moved = new Point(x - x % this.gridWidth, y - y % this.gridHeight);
Console.WriteLine(e.X + ", " + e.Y + ", " + ", " + moved.X + ", " + moved.Y);
if (moved != this.trackedControl.Location)
this.trackedControl.Location = moved;
}
}
void draggable_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
this.trackedControl = null;
}
private void AddDragListeners(Control draggable)
{
draggable.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(draggable_MouseDown);

Winforms DataGridView resizing issue

I'm not 100% sure how I should word this question but I'll try my best.
I have a PointCtrlForm that has a DataGridView inside a TableLayoutPanel. The DataGridView is docked to the table as Fill. PointCtrlForm is docked to another window set as MDIParent with the dockstyle property set as Fill.
Resizing the main window properly resizes the PointCtrlForm, which then is supposed to resize the DataGridView as well. Well, at least "half" of the resizing works properly. Enlarging the main window also enlarges the datagridview, which is what I expected but if I shrink the main window to a certain point, the DataGridView stops shrinking and hides the columns without showing a scrollbar.
I've checked that all columns do not have Frozen property enabled, checked that both the datagridview and the child window is properly docked, and checked the scrollbars property is set to both.
Edit: AutoSizeColumnsMode is also fill.
I'll post the content of the Designer.cs here. I'd appreciate any guidance.

I've found the solution and it's rather simple.
The row and column sizes for the DGV has to be set "percentage (relative)" not "absolute" in order for the docking to work properly.
You can edit the sizes by right clicking on one of the cells of the DGV and clicking on Edit Row/Column Properties.
