    - WebControl problem. I am trying to iterate through the elements of a HTML document loaded in a WebControl on a WinForm. I have found many exemples and most of them are like the following piece of code. Unfortunally this only catch the tags HTML, STYLE, SCRIPT, HEAD and TITLE. I need to get all the elements on the page specially the INPUT tags. What am I missing?

    - Accessing System Menu from C# For a simple form without its own menu I wanted to add an "About..." command to the system menu as I would for an old MFC/C++ application. However I cannot find out how to access the system menu other than to toggle it on/off via the ControlBox property. Is this simply a .NET style being enforced (thou shalt not modify the system menu) or am I overlooking something? Thanks in advance! -- TB Tag: Ole Automation Control in .Net Tag: 53297

    - Error Reading Configuration Settings Hi, I am deploying a project to a laptop. It works fine on my development computer, and I have tested once a few weeks ago. However, this time, the program can not start at all. After some digging, I find that it stops right at the following line (this line is part of the function called by my program's initialization code): -------------------------------------------------------------- //location is a string location = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("Location"); -------------------------------------------------------------- Before this line, everything is normal, but program just exit at this line. I can not catch any exceptions at all, and the process just disappears in "Windows Task Manager". Any ideas? Thanks a lot, Guogang Tag: Ole Automation Control in .Net Tag: 53291

    - Newbie problem Hi, I'm having a problem with a windows application in VB.NET. It is an MDI application, and I have just added a splash screen that is displayed in the beginning of the constructor of the mainform, and then is hidden at the end of the constructor (after all the init is done for the mainform). The splash screen has a background image that fills all the form. There is also 4 labels on top the the background image. The problem is that for some reason, when the splash screen is displayed, the labels are not displayed. In fact, instead they act as if they were transparent, so I see whatever is behind the form on my desktop. Any idea what can I do for this? thanks, Ross .

    - Transparency Problems I am attempting to wrap-up development cycle and have arrived at the point where "small annoyances" can no longer be avoided<g>. I notice that other applications windows (i.e. from other apps) "bleeding through" the UI from time to time. Now the "strange" thing is that the "underneath app" that always "bleeds through" is Internet Explorer. I am at a loss as to how to proceed since I have done nothing "knowingly" to enable any sort of transparency, all TransparencyKey values have been left to their default values.

But when I make changes to the value that is dispalyed textbox and click on the Update command button to save the changes, the changes are lost when I refill the dataset.

    - Floating window for Office add-in? Hi, I'm developing a Microsoft Word add-in using VB.Net. It contains a custom non-modal dialog box, built from a Windows Form. The form should float above the active document in Word, similar to the behavior of the Find and Replace dialog in Word. In VB.Net, this can be achieved by setting the floating form's Owner property to the lower form: Dim Form as New Form2 Form.Owner = Me Form.Show() However, this doesn't work here since the "owner" is a Microsoft Word window, rather than a .Net Windows Form. Also, I can't just use the .TopMost property for my form, because that will cause it to float above _every_ window on the screen (including other applications.) Is there a way (probably through an API call) to make my form float above the active Microsoft Word document, but not other documents or applications? Thanks, Robert Jacobson Tag: Ole Automation Control in .Net Tag: 53284

    - Detecting Column Data Change without Leaving Row I have a WinForms application that has a master DataSet with related DataTables that various forms reference and bind to. I need to detect when changes are made to the DataSet by a particular form so that the user can choose to cancel or apply thoses changes (the Apply button is only enabled after a change is detected, e.g. after they alter a value and then tab out of the control). So I'm interesting in detecting changes made only to the DataRows that that form's controls bind to for a specific BindingContext. I've got it mostly working with one remaining issue. When there are multiple controls on a form that reference the same DataRow, I have not been able to detect a change to the row (e.g. when the user tabs to the next field) unless the control gaining focus does not reference the same DataRow as the control losing focus. What I've learned from my experimenting with it is that the RowState is not updated until I use EndEdit for the row. However, this only works after the "row loses focus." As long as the next control still binds to the same DataRow the DataRowVersion.Proposed doesn't exist and the EndEdit doesn't do any good. Please advise.

    - Databinding combobox I have a windows form app that is bound to a dataview. If I add a combobox (with the default style of dropdown) and bind its text property to a field then everything is fine. If I now change the DropDownStyle to DropDownList then the binding no longer works (data from the back end SQL doesn't get displayed and if I select something in the combo then the update writes a null value back).

    - Dataset Update che funziona in modo strano Ciao ho una piccola anomalia, in un dataset. Ho una form di dettaglio collegata con delle textbox a un database sqlserver tramite dataadapter, dopo aver generato il dataset e le stringhe sql per aggiornamenti e selezioni, mi si presenta il prblema. Tramite metodo fill riempio il database, e poi aggiorno tramite il metodo update soltanto che il database viene aggiornato solo se mi sposto al record successivo a quel punto riesco ad aggiornare il database. Mi sposto tramite bindingmanager, è normale che si comporti così. Insomma modifico e se salvo nulla, se mi sposto al record successivo e salvo mi salva il record precedente. Come mai?

    - calling a form in a different project How do you instantiate and display a form that is in a different project within the same solution? I have a project full of Crystal Reports and one simple form (clientCrystalViewer) that displays them. It seems like I need to have the Reports in the same project as this clientCrystalViewer form so I can manipulate the dbconnection string dynamically (Its a Crystal issue). Rather than put everyting in one gigantic project (I've got 50 reports so far) I'd rather just call my clientCrystalViewer (really just a dialog box) from my project which holds all the rest of my forms. It seems to me that this should be possible and easy, but I can't find any documentation on it. Any ideas? Thanks Tag: Ole Automation Control in .Net Tag: 53253

    - DataGrid Q: How to force a column to go muti line if necessary to handle the text I want to have all my columns visible in the window. I've found out how to disable the column resizing, and even to force the horizontal scroll bar to hide itself. What I dont know (if it can be done in the WinForms control) is how to force a cell to go multi line if necessary to show text. I've seen it done in the Web DataGrid. For the edification of everyone, here's how to disable column sizing, and hide the horizontal scroll bar. This, when combined with proper sizing of the columns, puts everthing on the screen for you: Do do any of this you must derive your own DataGrid and override stuff. To make the columns fixed (to prevent the user from increasing their size and necessitating a scroll bar) you must override OnMouseMove and OnMouseDown and stop it from calling the base class when a column resize is being done. To force the scroll bar to hide, hook into the VisibleChanged event and force it to hide there. public class MyDataGrid : System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid { public MyDataGrid() { this.HorizScrollBar.Visible = false; this.HorizScrollBar.VisibleChanged += new EventHandler(HorizScrollBar_VisibleChanged); } protected override void OnMouseMove(System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) { DataGrid.HitTestInfo hti = this.HitTest(new Point(e.X, e.Y)); if (hti.Type == DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnResize) { return; //omit base class call } base.OnMouseMove (e); } protected override void OnMouseDown(System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) { DataGrid.HitTestInfo hti = this.HitTest(new Point(e.X, e.Y)); if (hti.Type == DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnResize) { return; //omit base class call } base.OnMouseDown (e); } private void HorizScrollBar_VisibleChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { if(this.HorizScrollBar.Visible == true) { this.HorizScrollBar.Hide(); } } } Tag: Ole Automation Control in .Net Tag: 53223

    - Events - publish/subscribe and GC'ing In my application the main thread my create several worker threads that will create additional objects. These additional objects become "publishers" and the main thread object (amongst others) then can "register" to receive the events. My question is, what happens when the "publisher" object completes it's work and disappears? Do I need to first broadcast a "please unregister" message to the subscribers? When the publisher goes away, if the subscribers haven't unregistered, will this create a leak and/or prevent the GC from collecting the now demised publisher object? Thanks!

    - Splash Screen Problem Hi, I'm having a problem with a windows application in VB.NET. It is an MDI application, and I have just added a splash screen that is displayed in the beginning of the constructor of the mainform, and then is hidden at the end of the constructor (after all the init is done for the mainform). The splash screen has a background image that fills all the form. There is also 4 labels on top the the background image. The problem is that for some reason, when the splash screen is displayed, the labels are not displayed. In fact, instead they act as if they were transparent, so I see whatever is behind the form on my desktop. Any idea what can I do for this? thanks, Ross Tag: Ole Automation Control in .Net Tag: 53199

    - DataGrid row HasErrors I am creating my own DataGridTextBoxColumn class and I want to display an "Error" icon when the dataset row has errors. How would I check to see if a datarow has errors (.HasErrors) from the paint event of a DataGridTextBoxColumn class. I tried using Dim strErrorMessage As String = CType(source.Current, DataRowView).Row.RowError.ToString but this just looks at the currently selected row. Any help?

    - MDI Problems HI! I've got following problem: I got an app which mainly consists of one main window. There serveral other windows (which I use for settings), but there's also one important data-form. The main windows must not be closed, the other windows must not be modal, they also must not be AlwaysTop and they also are not allowed to become "invisible" (main window covers it, cause of operation in main window (to get information for child window)). So I've choosen to convert my sdi to mdi. My main window is child of another window and should always be maximized. Thats my first problem, cause it doesn't help to cut off the min and max button (resizing through dblclick on title bar) and I can't make my main windows the parent window cause it holds several controls and when I'm showing the child (property/data window), I can't see anything from the child. Most of my property windows are created dynamicly through a database, the size of the window is handled and the Style is set to fixed 3d, but it got maximized. How can I prevent this? I'd be very grateful for your answers Bernhard Tag: Ole Automation Control in .Net Tag: 53194

    - RowSelect Disabled Datagrid Hi Everybody, I have been trying to create a Datagrid wherein 1) the first row is selected by default when the Form Loads. (Easily done with dg.Select(0)) 2) user cannot tab into any column. ie. unlike the default behaviour which is when the current cell gets focus, the existing text inside it is selected and cursor is at the end of the textbox. I can state it alternatively as "the column should not get focus" 3) When user clicks any other row with mouse or moves in the datagrid using keyboard, the new row shall get selected. For this, i have hooked into CurrentCellChanged event to get the new row and select it. My problem is 1) When user presses Tab in the DG, the focus moves along the columns and which ever column gets focus, the text in it gets selected and text within it gets selected. I have the row selected, but this columns display is not consistent with rest of the columns. 2) As soon as the DG looses focus, the row gets de-selected. For eg. a Messagebox popup and the row gets de-selected. 3) If user presses tab on the last column of the last row, there is no row selected. My dg.select(rownum) has been coded in CurrentCellChanged so, a row shall be always selected. But its not so!!! As an example of what i want to achive is exactly as implemented in TASKVISION sample application provided at http://www.windowsforms.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=7&tabid=44 . I have gone through the source code of this sample and have set the properties of my DG exactly as in the sample, created my TableStyle and GridColumnStyles dynamically. Cant Figure out what to do more. Anybody got ideas/solutions?? Tag: Ole Automation Control in .Net Tag: 53185

    - Bug in Framework 1.1? I have an application that worked properly in .NET 2002 but doesn't in 2003. It is an MDI application that can have several open forms with some forms being (virtual) parents of others. When a user clicks on a parent form, it attempts to shift the focus back to the child, but this appears to no longer work in the Framework v1.1. As it is an MDI application, I can't use the owner variable to make the parent inaccessible as a form can not be an MDI child and an owner as well. Disabling the parent also does not appear to make it inaccessible. So I have no choice but to call the child forms Show method from the parent's activate event. It runs the code, but it refuses to cause the OnActivate delegate or Activated event in the child form (which it needs to in order to show the children's children). Is this the way it is supposed to work now? Does anyone else have a valid workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Dan. Tag: Ole Automation Control in .Net Tag: 53167

    - How to intially set a bound combo box value to null I have a number of combo boxes that are bound to lookup tables. Whenever the user enters the form the initial value will always be set to the first value that is in the bound table, so it looks as though a value has already been selected. Even when setting the selectedindex property to -1. Does anyone know how to intially set a bound combo box so that the first value is not automatically selected?

    - What is the best method for creating a "no-touch" client application I have a WinForms application with a config file that I would like to deploy internally by making it available on a central server, where it will be maintained and versioned. I was thinking that accessing it via IE would be helful, but it is not clear how to handle the config file, which does thinks such as activate the client remoting capabibility. I would like changes to this config file to be automatically downloaded with the application. There is also the problem of default permissions. Although this can be handled with isolated storage, it is not clear how I can automatically download any changes to the config file in the central server to this location. Is this approach an acceptable one or is there a better method for accomplishing what I am attempting to accomplish. Tag: Ole Automation Control in .Net Tag: 53159

    - SQLAdapter - Insert problem I using a SQLAdapter and Dataset to retrieve and update rows in a single table ... but I do not know how to Insert a new row. The table's key column is a auto generated field so it is read only (and therefore I cannot make changes to it). How do I specify to the SQLAdapter that I want an Insert vs. an update? I haven't tried to delete rows ... but I expect I will have the same problem. Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks! Dave Tag: Ole Automation Control in .Net Tag: 53154

    - DataGrid and Highlight row I have a datagrid populated from a dataview and while running a loop, I am able to set the Selected item and change the background colour of the selected item to say Green there by giving the grid a scrolling effect as the loop is processing data rows. Now depending on ceratin conditions I would like permenantly set the background color of currently processed row to say Red etc to indicate an error. I am not able to do this as a Row cannot be specified directly in a datagrid. How can I accomplish this. Thanks, Rajesh Abraham Chacko Tag: Ole Automation Control in .Net Tag: 53149
