    - How to set ListView scroll info? I have a listview whose contents are constantly being refreshed. When a refresh occurs, I delete all the items and add back. I want to maintain the scroll position before deleting all the items, and then want to restore it once the items are added back. I'm using P/Invoke Get/SetScrollInfo to get and restore the scroll information. GetScrollInfo is working fine - it returns expected information. SetScrollInfo has no effect - the scroll positions are unchanged (both horz and vert are 0). I also tried Get/SetScrollPos - no luck there, either. Is this the correct way to do this? Anyone know what might be wrong? Here's some of my code: private void RefreshList() { User32.SCROLLINFO hsi = User32.GetScrollInfo((uint) MyListView.Handle.ToInt32(), Constants.SB_HORZ); User32.SCROLLINFO vsi = User32.GetScrollInfo((uint) MyListView.Handle.ToInt32(), Constants.SB_VERT); MyListView.BeginUpdate(); MyListView.Items.Clear(); // Add new items here... User32.SetScrollInfo((uint)MyListView.Handle.ToInt32(), Constants.SB_HORZ, false, hsi); User32.SetScrollInfo((uint)MyListView.Handle.ToInt32(), Constants.SB_VERT, false, vsi); MyListView.EndUpdate(); } public class Constants { public const int SB_HORZ = 0; public const int SB_VERT = 1; public const int SB_CTL = 2; public const int SB_BOTH = 4; public const int SIF_RANGE = 0x0001; public const int SIF_PAGE = 0x0002; public const int SIF_POS = 0x0004; public const int SIF_DISABLENOSCROLL = 0x0008; public const int SIF_TRACKPOS = 0x0010; public const int SIF_ALL = (SIF_RANGE | SIF_PAGE | SIF_POS | SIF_TRACKPOS); } public class User32 { [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SCROLLINFO { public UInt32 cbSize; public UInt32 fMask; public Int32 nMin; public Int32 nMax; public UInt32 nPage; public Int32 nPos; public Int32 nTrackPos; } [DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "GetScrollInfo", SetLastError = true)] private static extern int GetScrollInfoWnd(uint hWnd, int nBar, ref SCROLLINFO si); public static SCROLLINFO GetScrollInfo(uint hWnd, int nBar) { SCROLLINFO si = new SCROLLINFO(); si.cbSize = (uint) System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.SizeOf(si); si.fMask = Constants.SIF_ALL; // also tried si.fMask = Constants.SIF_PAGE | Constants.SIF_POS | Constants.SIF_RANGE GetScrollInfoWnd(hWnd, nBar, ref si); // returns correct data return si; } [DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "SetScrollInfo", SetLastError = true)] private static extern int SetScrollInfoWnd(uint hWnd, int nBar, bool bRedraw, ref SCROLLINFO si); public static int SetScrollInfo(uint hWnd, int nBar, bool bRedraw, SCROLLINFO si) { int rc = SetScrollInfoWnd(hWnd, nBar, bRedraw, ref si); return rc; // return is 0 - presumably previous scroll position } } Thanks -- Michael Salamone [eMVP] Entrek Software, Inc. www.entrek.com Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document.

    - How do I show a visually inherited form? I just started working with inherited forms and am being befuddled with how to show the inherited form. As a test, I designed Form1 with a single button on it and added an inherited form that inherits from Form1. When my application starts, I would like to have both forms show at the same time. How can this be done? I tried placing the following code in the Form1_Load event: Dim form2 As New InheritedForm form2.Show() but this gives me the following error: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll Additional information: Error creating window handle. What am I doing incorrectly that is generating this error? -Thanks Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document. Tag: 98158

    - Recursion in CreateChildControls In my custom control I have overriden CreateChildControls and the first few lines look like this. protected override void CreateChildControls() { Debug.WriteLine("CreateChildControls", "FeatureList"); Controls.Clear(); .. } what I am seeing is that the Controls.Clear line indirectly calls CreateChildControls (the call is through a Get on the Controls collection from the stack). Although the controls end up being right, they are created twice which is hardly efficient. What do I need to do to stop this happening?

    - Compare dataset values I built a windows services application which should run 24 X 7, and the system picks user defined parameter to perform scheduled work. My scheduler will pick users settings (dataset) from database to perform task; In order to keep my scheduler perform task when users setting changed, I create a thread timer to retrieve schedule settings from database and compare with my current running schedule task. If settings changed, (by comparing each row values), the scheduler will stop current processes and re-schedule new task. My question is, instead of comparing dataset by rows, is there any other better or efficient way, and how should it be? Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document. Tag: 98150

    - Scrollbar problem with RichTextBox Hi, I don't know if this is a bug or is it just me not finding the solution? In VC# 2005 (running Windows2000) I have a multiline RichTextBox with ScrollBars set to "Both", but not forced. So I want to see no scrollbars at the beginning, and then, while filling up the Box with text, they should appear with a proportional thumb as usual. When deleting some text, the bars should disappear again. Well, instead of that, I get the following: As long as I don't resize the window, I can type in text without problems, but no scrollbars appear when arriving at the bottom or at the right. Only when I then resize the window (might be by only 2 mm), the scrollbars appear as they should, and from then on, everything works fine untill I close the app. But when I resize before reaching the margins, then dysfunctional scrollbars appear, with nonproportional thumbs, and the stay there until the text reaches the margins, for then to turn to normal scrollbars for the rest of the app's life. This behavior is independently for the horizontal and vertical scrollbar, each of them waiting text to come to its corresponding margin (right or bottom) before starting to work as it should, provided a resize has been done once. Quite annoying, what am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help Joe Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document. Tag: 98149

    - TextBox AutoScale in VS 2005 designer I've recently moved to VS 2005 and .NET Framework 2.0 (from VS .NET 2003 and .NET Framework 1.1). And I have a trivial problem in designer: 1) I create a new project with default settings (C# Windows Application). OK. 2) And on the main form I put a TextBox. I set its width to 100 pixels. OK so far. 3) Now I change TextBox font to Courier New, 12pt, bold. OK. 4) I want to set the TextBox'es height to 24 pixels. And I can't. It sets its height back to 26 pixels. 5) So I want to change the property called AutoSize. TextBox inherits such a property from TextBoxBase. But it is TextBoxBase's property, not TextBox'es, so the property window doesn't show it. 6) So I modify the code generated by designer, I add a line: textbox.AutoSize = false; and change height to 24. OK, it works for a while. But when designer makes any changes to code, it removes the line above that I added and returns back to 26 pixels. Now what I can do is change the AutoSize property and Height somewhere else in code, where designer won't mess up. But: 1) It's not optimal to change the control's size twice: once when it is created with the size forced by designer, and then again change the size to what I want it to be 2) When I change it in code I lose the possibility to view visually how the final effect will be, because designer will show something different from what will be set during runtime. I want to layout controls in designer. I don't want to set all the sizes and positions at runtime in code without preview, because it's too much work with over 30 controls. And if I can't do it in designer, then VS 2005 is a useless tool. I can write code in notepad. 3) I had no such problem in .NET 1.1 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 4) I have no problem with other controls, such as Label, which has a property AutoSize on its own (not inherited) and I can change that property in designer's property window, and all works fine. Any ideas how can I turn off TextBox'es AutoSize property in designer? Thanks in advance, Agata Staniak Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document. Tag: 98147

    - Trouble with BindingSource I've gone through a few demos and walkthroughs trying to become familiar with the new binding in vs2005. I'm having some success, but not every time. I've create a dataset with the datasource configuration wizard. I have 3 tables in this dataset (expense, category, and type). I drag each table onto a separate form. Visual studio creates a datagridview and binding navigator on each form. When executed, the grids on each form populate correctly. The problem is that one of the tables doesn't get updated when I press save, the other two save correctly. I'm not writing any code, just using the autogenerated code that VS writes: Private Sub ExpenseBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExpenseBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click Me.Validate() Me.ExpenseBindingSource.EndEdit() Me.ExpenseTableAdapter.Update(Me.ExpenseDataSet.expense) End Sub I can't figure out what is different about the expense table/grid that is causing it to not update. There are no errors generated. If I inspect the dataset in the debugger after I make changes in the grid, the dataset appears to get updated. I therefore believe it has something to do with the BindingSource or TableAdapter. The changes never make it from the dataset to the database (an access db). Joel Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document.

    - Cursor on ListView Hi I have a form in which there is a treeview alongside a listview. Now I have certain conditions when the Listview control is disabled. When this happens I would want the Cursor to be of type "NO" only when the mouse is over the ListView. It should be default over the other controls on the form. I have tried many things but nothing seems to work. I am able to set the Cursor to No when the Listview is disabled ...but the cursor does not change to default if I leave the Listview control... The mouse events dont seem to help either. Next I tried using the Cursor.draw(graphics, rectangle) method with the rectangle being the size of the Listview control. I thought this would limit the No cursor only within this rectangle. But Nope did not work! Even if i change the cursor property to anything else from the designer for the listview or even the form..it doesnt seem to work... what am i missing??????? appreciate all responses Thanks, Vinit Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document.

    - TypeConverters IsValid method not getting called I have a TypeConverter derived from StringConverter in which I have overridden GetStandardValuesSupported GetStandardValues GetStandardValuesExclusive IsValid. Now, initially when I wrote this I did not have an IsValid method and therefore even if I entered an invalid value for the property on which my typeconverter is applied to it would accept it. After I added the IsValid method, I expected this behavior to change but when I run it under the debugger the IsValid method is not getting called at all. Any idea what is happening here? Thanks.

    - Serializing TreeView and DataGridView controls states Hello All, First of all thanks in advance to everyone who will try to help me. I have Form with TreeView control and DataGridView control. Each TreeNode has its own rows and due to I am placing rows to ArrayList and store it in tag of TreeNode like this: // dgv - DataGridView visible within whole class private void treeView1_AfterSelect(object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e) { dgv.Rows.Clear(); dgv.Columns.Clear(); DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn ins = new DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn(); ins.Name = "Insert"; ins.HeaderText = "Insert; ins.Width = 90; DataGridViewTextBoxColumn itemName = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn(); itemName.HeaderText = "Item name"; itemName.Name = "itemName"; itemName.Width = (dgv.Width - ins.Width - 43) / 2; DataGridViewTextBoxColumn itemValue = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn(); itemValue.HeaderText = "Item Value"; itemValue.Name = "itemValue"; itemValue.Width = (dgv.Width - ins.Width - 43) / 2; DataGridViewComboBoxColumn mdfLink = new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn(); mdfLink.Name = "mdfLink"; mdfLink.HeaderText = "MDF Link"; mdfLink.Width = (dgv.Width - 80) / 6; mdfLink.DropDownWidth = mdfLink.Width * 2; dgv.Columns.AddRange(new DataGridViewColumn[] {ins,itemName,itemValue, mdfLink}); if (treeView1.SelectedNode.Tag != null) { ArrayList al = (ArrayList)treeView1.SelectedNode.Tag; foreach (object obj in al) { dgv.Rows.Add((DataGridViewRow)obj); } } else { // fill rows manually // ... } } private void treeView1_BeforeSelect(object sender, TreeViewCancelEventArgs e) { ArrayList al = new ArrayList(); foreach (DataGridViewRow dgvr in dgv.Rows) { al.Add(dgvr); } if (al.Count != 0) { treeView1.SelectedNode.Tag = al; } } And I need to store state of TreeView in a file by serialization to future restoring (I know that TreeView doesn't support serialization but TreeNoew does). But DataGridViewRow is not support serialization. As matter of fact I tried to store values in string arrays and populate it accordingly. My question is: 1. Is anybody know better way of serialization of treeview with attached DataGridView? 2. In case of using my method how do I save/restore selected item of ComboBoxCell? I will appreciate any help.

    - Override of WebBrowserSite IDocHostUIHandler using WebBrowser.CreateWebBrowserSiteBase doesn't work According to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms. webbrowser.createwebbrowsersitebase.aspx I should be able to customize the behavior of the System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser control as follows: "To use this feature, implement classes that inherit from the WebBrowser and WebBrowser.WebBrowserSite classes. The unmanaged WebBrowser ActiveX control uses the protected CreateWebBrowserSiteBase method to retrieve extensibility interfaces implemented by the WebBrowser.WebBrowserSite class. Override the CreateWebBrowserSiteBase method to return an instance of your own class that inherits from the WebBrowser.WebBrowserSite class. The WebBrowser. WebBrowserSite class provides default implementations of the OLE IDocHostUIHandler. You can provide your own implementation of this interface or implement any other WebBrowser ActiveX control interface in order to customize the behavior of the control. If you provide your own implementation for any IDocHostUIHandler members, you must implement all the members of that interface." I've implemented my own classes and confirmed in debug that my version of CreateWebBrowserSiteBase is being called and creates my class. However, none of my IDocHostUIHandler methods are being called. I suspect that the problem may be in my constructor, which calls the WebBrowser.WebBrowserSite constructor, which creates a competing implementation of IDocHostUIHandler. The documentation implies that this should work. Am I missing anything? Any suggestions or workarounds? Thanks. Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document. Tag: 98124

    - Newbie - I am trying to integrate a native MFC dialog app into a Windows forms MDI Hi, I am quite a novice at programming in general, but have taken it upon myself to help my boss with a project of his. He developed an MFC dialog application (non-managed i believe) and wants me to incorporate it into a reporting tool I am developing with Crystal Reports. I am using MS Visual Studio 2005, which I found Crystal Reports to be highly integratable(sp?) with Windows Forms development, so that is what I have been using. Now the MFC dialog application i would like to integrate merely updates and queries a sql database, and I am trying to get it to load within an MDI i developed. What is the best way to accomplish this with preserving as much of the original code as possible? Any suggestions or helpful links would be greatly appreciative.

I can easily, as expected, switch betwenn them with no problem. Each modeless child form must be able to create a single Modal form. Due to the nature of the Modal form, I can't do this since once I've created the first Modal form as a child of one of the Modeless forms, I cannot switch focus to another of the Modeless forms inorder to create another Modal form. Briefly, here is the sequence of methods I want to use: MainForm: Call Dialog.Show() multiple times creating a new ChildForm each time.

    - Solution / Request for Suggestions: DataGrid Button Column using C# I've tried to find examples of adding a button column to a WinForms DataGrid. Unfortunately, all of the examples I have found only allow you to click on the button for the currently selected row. Below is a class that I wrote that displays clickable buttons for each row along with a sample form that uses the class. Hopefully this will help some people out. If you try this code, please post some feedback on suggestions for improvements or bugs. This has been in use in a few applications for a couple months and seems to be stable and reliable. However, I'm still a little concerned about the mouse event handlers that are registered with the underlying DataGrid. Thanks! To use this example, create a new Windows Forms project, add a new class module to the project, and then do the following. 1. Paste this code into the class module: using System; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Drawing2D; using System.Diagnostics; namespace TestApp { /// <summary> /// Adds a column to a DataGrid that displays /// a button that can be responded to /// via an event that fires when it is clicked. /// </summary> /// <remarks> /// Major gotcha: adding this DataGridColumnStyle /// to a DataGrid will register /// handlers with the MouseDown, MouseUp, and /// MouseMove events in the DataGrid. /// Therefore, destroying a DataGrid's TableStyle and /// adding a new one will cause /// unexpected behavior if the mouse handlers are not /// removed manually before hand. /// </remarks> public class DataGridButtonColumn : DataGridColumnStyle { /* * Fires when a button is clicked in this column. */ public delegate void ClickEventHandler(object sender, DataGridButtonEventArgs e); public event ClickEventHandler Click; private int _xMargin = 2; private int _yMargin = 1; private string _buttonName = ""; private bool _editing = false; private int _editingRowNum = 0; private bool _isMouseDown = false; private int _mouseRow = -1; private int _mouseCol = -1; private DataGrid.HitTestInfo _mousePos = null; public DataGridButtonColumn(string buttonName) { _buttonName = buttonName; } #region Overridden methods protected override void Abort(int rowNum) { Debug.WriteLine("Abort()"); endEdit(); } protected override bool Commit(CurrencyManager dataSource, int rowNum) { if(_editing) { endEdit(); } return true; } protected override void Edit(CurrencyManager source, int rowNum, Rectangle bounds, bool readOnly, string instantText, bool cellIsVisible) { _editingRowNum = rowNum; _editing = true; } protected override void Paint(Graphics g, Rectangle bounds, CurrencyManager source, int rowNum) { /* * Propogate to the next Paint() handler. */ Paint(g, bounds, source, rowNum, false); } protected override void Paint(Graphics g, Rectangle bounds, CurrencyManager source, int rowNum, bool alignToRight) { /* * Create a buffer to draw to.

    - ListView SelectedIndexChanged Firing Twice, possible solution? I know that by design, the SelectedIndexChanged event fires twice when the SelectedIndex changes, once for the unselection of the previous index, and once for the selection of the new index. This is somewhat bothersome to me because I have listeners for those events that toggle the enabled states of other controls on the form based on whether an item is selected or not, and this creates an ugly blinking effect. Is there any way to peek into the message queue and see if there is another SelectedIndexChange event coming? I know I can't see into the future, but I'm hoping the messages will be placed into the queue simultaniously and that they will both be in the queue when I recieve the first event. My current solution, which I'm not really that pleased with, is to have a Timer t on the form with a 100 millisecond interval. When the SelectedIndexChanged event fires, I check a flag to see if the timer is running. If it's not running, I start the timer and set the flag. On the Tick event of the timer, I fire my own SelectedItemChanged event, stop the timer, and reset the flag. Basically what's happening is I'm only allowing one SelectedIndex event to fire within any given 100 millisecond window. This works, I don't get the flickering, but it seems kinda hackish and unpredicable. Any better suggestions? Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document. Tag: 98076

    - Width of textbox on a FlowLayoutPanel Hi, I have three textboxes on the same row on a FlowLayoutPanel. I want the one on the left and right to have a fixed width but for the one in the middle to fill any remaining space depending on the width of the FlowLayoutPanel. Is this possible? (The widths of the left and right boxes aren't known until runtime). I was thinking that I could handle the SizeChangingEvent and work out the width to set the middle text box to. This would basically be: width of FlowLayoutPanel - width of left text box- width of right text box. However, I don't know how to determine what controls are on the same row in order to retrieve their width?! Any help appreciated. Thanks Tristan. Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document. Tag: 98074

    - SplitContainer Transitions Folks, I am using the very helpful SplitContainer (horizontal) to show a list of items on the bottom panel and the details of a chosen item on the top panel. The top panel is initally collapsed. The user sees the details by chosing a menu item (as in File, Item Properties). When this occurs, the top panel is "un-collapsed." Our client is requesting a softer transition from not seeing the panel to suddenly seeing it (as fading in/out from the top of the form). Could you point me in the right direction as to whether this is possible? If it is, can you give me a hint of where to start my research (for example, which events to call, or which methods to override)? Thank you very much for your time, Elsa Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document. Tag: 98073

    - datagrid, change combobox value at run time based on the value of another combobox at different column Hi, I have an application containing a datagrid. I add columns to the datagrid programmatically, each row has a few textbox column and a few combobox columns. One combobox colum is key field. If user choose a value from the key combo box, then I want the value in other cells changed accordingly based on certain logic. I could change the value of text box cells by changing the value in datatable, but the difficulty is how to change the value of combobox at the same row. It seems windows datagrid does not allow you to get hold of individual cell. Hope some one could help. Thanks zhuang Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document. Tag: 98070

After the save process the document should be saved as a MHTML stream to a database for our intranet. The maingoal is that the user must not upload pictures to a gallery and select them after to insert in the document, he should work like Word in Office. Now my question is, how to convert the rtf stream to a MHTML stream to save this in a database (SQL 2005)? Is there any component to do that or has anyone a example for me?

    - Troubles with Garbage Collector. I'm having trouble cleaning up memory in a datagrid. I have a datagrid that is set a datatable as its datasource every 5 seconds - each datatable assigned has the same structure but different content. When I perform the following line of code: this.dbgEvents.SetDataBinding(e.Table, ""); the data on the datagrid is changed to reflect the new data. The problem I am experiencing is that memory is not being cleaned up properly. I'm getting the following objects hanging around: System.WeakReference System.Windows.Forms.BindingContext.HashKey I've found these by using the .NET Memory Profiler application. As the application loops and assigns a new datasource to the datagrid these objects build up and consume memory. I've tried the following to free the memory with no success: if(dbgEvents.DataSource != null) ((DataTable)this.dbgEvents.DataSource).Dispose(); this.dbgEvents.SetDataBinding(e.Table, ""); Can anyone help with how to cleanup memory from a datagrid? It appears as though the datagrid is still clinging to some objects and thus the garbage collection cannot remove them. Thanks, Neo Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document. Tag: 98067

I have read the article about no-touch deployment applications : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnforms/html/winforms05152003.asp and followed his steps.My code is below: AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain; object obj = domain.GetData("APP_LAUNCH_URL"); string appLaunchUrl = (obj != null ? obj.ToString() : ""); But I can never get the value of appLaunchUrl.The method domain.GetData("APP_LAUNCH_URL") always returns null.I could not find any description about APP_LAUNCH_URL data variable in MSDN. When I copied myapplication.exe to IIS directory and run the application from the url of http://localhost/myapplication/myapplication.exe?myname=sunny , I could get the value as the article said. So why? And how can I get the value if I use the publish function of visual studio.net 2005 and run the application from the url: http://localhost/myapplication/myapplication.application?myname=sunny Thanks!

    - IME window question I wrote a text input aware control. in C# 2.0, inheriting from SWF.Control. Users eventually use the IME input window to enter text. I would like to be able to do just like Notepad (or the text boxes), that is position the IME window at the position of the caret and set its font to the current selection's font. How do I do that? C++ tips welcome as well ;-) Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document. Tag: 98030

    - DataGridColumnStyle Format Property One of the columns of my datagrid is an account #. The actual field which is coming from a sql server database is defined as a character. Within the database the account # 200300001 come across in our financial system as 20030000.1. How do I define a character field format, as an example (XXXXXXXX.X), in the datagridcolumnstyle format property using the designer? Currently I can format numeric fields in the a datagridcolumnstyle format property with, as an example, "###,##0.00". Thanks in advance. Tag: Accessing an IFrame's document. Tag: 98028

Hi

I am writing an test automation library in C#, .NET 2005 using
"Microsoft.mshtml". All was
going well in testing the web application until I can go to a page
containing an IFrame element. I do not know how to access the Document

associated with the frame. I can get the IHTMLFrameElement easily
enough,but I cannot see contentDocument member in this element class. I
m only getting contentWindow that too is throwing an
InvalidCastException.

I facing this problem for every page containing an iFrame.

Thanx...
