    - queueing messages Hi, Ok, since I began writing this post, I have figured out the majority of my problem. I started out without a clue about how to use messages in my application (not referring to System.Messaging, but to good old windows messages). I want a Win32 application that runs without a window. I figured out how to add a message filter to the application before calling Application.Run(). That solves the problem of catching the message. Now I cannot, for the life of me, find any references to how to put a message on the application queue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chris Tag: Capture Lost Tag: 67417

    - Form.AutoScroll Property .NET Framework Class Library documentation on Form.AutoScroll Property #1- If this property is set to true, scroll bars are displayed on the form if any controls are located outside the form's client region #2- Additionally, when autoscrolling is on, the client area of the form automatically scrolls to make the control with input focus visible. Q: How can I avoid #2 from happening? (override the input focus event?). I do not want the form to recenter when I click partly visible controls Thanks in advance for your help mc Tag: Capture Lost Tag: 67416

    - How to develop user-definable/configurable UIs using Windows Forms and ADO.NET? Hi, I'd like to create a data entry application in which users are able to customise the app and it's UI by adding/removing fields from the data entry form(s), changing the layout of the fields, or changing caption text. Are there any samples that show how this can be done with Windows Forms and ADO.NET?. Or perhaps books, articles, blogs or FAQs that cover this scenario? Cheers, Kunle Tag: Capture Lost Tag: 67409

    - Long texts in ComboBox's Items Hi, I have a control that holds a ComboBox. When the ComboBox gets filled the text are too long, so, it is possible to read just the half part of the text. I would like to show the whole text in a box (like the tooltipbox) while the user moves over the ComboBox's Items. Does anyone can share some code to do this? Thanx Boris Tag: Capture Lost Tag: 67406

    - Initial Flicker on Fade Out Greetings Having a bit of a problem with a fade out on a form. I'm using a timer which is enabled via a button and then this timer tick then takes the opacity down to nothing and then eventually closing the application. However, what is happening is that when the button is clicked that enables the timer and thus the first tick, the form goes all black and then then repaints to the original form and fades out smoothly. I'm sure that this does not occur on the button click event, as I've put the thread to sleep at this point, and verified that it happens upon the first firing of the tick event. Here's what I've noticed, this is much worse on forms with many controls, it actually appears if the form rolls into the center leaving the black background for just an instant before proceeding normally. Although this "rolling" may be an optical illusion. Would appreciate if anyone can assist with getting rid of the flicker..........argh... probably something stupid... Private Sub timerFade_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles timerFade.Tic If Me.Opacity <= 0 The Me.Close( Els Me.Opacity = Me.Opacity - 0.0 End I End Sub Tag: Capture Lost Tag: 67401

    - PropertyGrid bug? Hi all, Maybe this has been said before, I'm sorry if it has. I'm making a custom EnumConverter for a propertygrid so it shows other values than the named values of the enum... this works pretty much correctly, and as expected, EXCEPT: When doubleclicking the dropdown box, moving the mouse wheel, or using an accelerator key for the dropdown, it ignores completely the ConverTo() function (which is called when the dropdown is popped up and a value selected), and just doesn't call it. This is a problem as I use this function to convert the string representation to the actual enum value, so the setter receives an string and it causes an invalid property value exception (and doesn't change the value, that is). I could surely make every setter check if it's a string and convert accordingly, but that'd be hell of a lot of work (i'm doing this for many different enums and properties), and that'd rather ruin the usefulness of the PropertyGrid. So is this a bug in the PropertyGrid, am I doing something worng, or is there something I have forgotten to do so I can convert to my enum value when the editor value is changed other than popping up the dropdown? If you need further explanation, let me know Thanks, Javier Campos Tag: Capture Lost Tag: 67393

    - Overflow error when drawing a form with a Windows XP theme enabled I have written an Excel Plug-in (COM) for Office 2000 and 2002, which adds a toolbar. When a button on the toolbar is pressed, a dialogue box (.NET Form) appears, with several tabs, tree views, lists, combo boxes, etc (all standard .NET controls). Sometimes, while pressing buttons or interacting with the controls, an unhandled exception message appears due to an "Overflow error", with the information below. It appears in different places each time, and the control that was drawing at the time is replaced with a red "X" on a white background. I have searched the internet for any suggestions, but can't find anything that suggests what could be causing the problem. The only lead I have is that it seems to happen with Windows XP themes are enabled, but doesn't happen if the default "teletubbies" theme is used.

    - Problem with showing/hiding forms I'm trying to convert my VB6 app to VB.NET and having loads of difficulty getting some forms to show correctly. I have seen similiar type of posts as mine, but nothing has worked for me I have an MDI container form(frmICD) and a Sub Main where the app first starts up. When I first run the app, frmlogon gets called from Sub Main to get the username and password. Once the user hits ok, code in frmlogon gets the next form (frmmainmenu) ready. I have verified via debugger that frmmainmenu is visible. I call frmlogon.hide, the app returns to the Sub Main and the program terminates. Is there a reason this is happening or What am I missing I tried to add this line of code in frmlogon: 'System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(New frmMainMenu)' but I receive this error message: 'It is invalid to start a second message loop on a single thread'. I'm assuming I get this because frmmainmenu is already visible? I don't know. If anyone can help or can tell me somewhere that has good examples of working with MDI forms and childs, it would be greatly appreciated Joe Tag: Capture Lost Tag: 67351

I noticed that someone else (post is in microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp) had this same question. I created a new dialog: public class WindowsPrintPreviewDialogExtended : System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog When I bring this class up in Visual Studio in designer mode, it has almost no properties. Just Document, UseAntiAlias, (DynamicProperties), (Name), DrawGrid, GridSize, Locked, SnapToGrid, Language, and Localizable. Many of the properties available for other forms, in particular the whole WindowStyle group, don't show up. Furthermore, when looking at code, typing "this." shows the Intellisense list for the class, which is just as sparse. There seems no way to set the icon. However, if you do the following, you can set it by hand: 1. Add "using System.Globalization;" to your code. 2. At the start of your constructor, add: System.Resources.ResourceManager resources = new System.Resources.ResourceManager(typeof(<yourClassName>)); where <yourClassName> is the name of your class. 3. After "InitializeComponent();" add: this.Icon = ((System.Drawing.Icon)(resources.GetObject("$this.Icon"))); Never mind that Intellisense doesn't recognize "Icon" as a valid property. In this case (for some reason) Intellisense isn't very intelligent. 4. Create a normal, vanilla Form in your project. Set the icon in that form. Now open the form's .resx file in Visual Studio. Switch to .XML mode. At the bottom of the file you will see a <data> tag with the name "$this.Icon". Copy this entire tag (down to and including </data>) onto the clipboard. 5. Open the .resx file for your print preview dialog in Visual Studio. Switch to XML mode. Paste the <data> tag and all of its contents to the end of the file, just before the </root> closing tag. 6. Delete the vanilla form that you added to your project. This will set the icon for your print preview dialog. Does anyone have any idea why PrintPreviewDialog would act like this? Does anyone know why, in the .NET documentation, PrintPreviewDialog is listed as having no Icon property under "list all members", even though its parent class, "System.Windows.Forms.Form", according to the same documentation, has a public Icon property? (And in .NET it's impossible to obscure properties of parent classes.) To add to the mystery, there is documentation for a PrintPreviewDialog.Icon property (oddly inaccessible from the documentation for PrintPreviewDialog), that claims that "This member supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code." You can see it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemWindowsFormsPrintPreviewDialogClassIconTopic.asp Curiouser and curiouser.

    - Deployment COM Interop question Hello All, I have a .NET component which needs to be deployed on the target machine so that It can be exposed to the COM world. On the development machine, the 'register for com interop' setting when set to true, does the trick. When I deploy it on a target machine (I am using Installshield Professional 6.3) how do I register the assembly? Has anybody done it through installshield? The other thing is when If I copy this assembly on the target machine, and run regasm MyAssembly.dll, I can see the Object in the OLE / COM viewer but not the interface which this object implements. Am I doing something wrong. The tlb that is generated during the build is a separate file and its not embedded in the dll. Any inputs?

    - Having trouble with ShowInTaskBar property and child windows, any idea? Hi All, (I have posted similiar question ealier. Hope the other smart ones can also catch this mesage instead.) I have an windows form application that dynamically creates a lot of child windows. I want such that when the user clicks on one of the child windows, the window should goes to the front, but NOT the other windows. If I set the ShowInTaskBar property to true for all the child windows, then I get the effect (as mentioned above) that I want. But if the property is set to false. Any time I click on one of the child windows, the window goes to the top, but so DOES the other child windows! Can anyone may tell me why and give me a hint or two to resolve this issue? - JB P.S.

    - Unable to Debug Forms and most subroutines After months (really) of fiddling, I found out how to get debugging to work - under Debug > Exceptions, make sure Unhandled Exceptions break the code into the debugger and allow Visual Basic in the Options dialog to edit files while debugging Anyway, on to my problem...I'm creating our own manufacturing software, IC, MRP, AP, AR, you get the idea. I'm on such a tight schedule I didn't have time to learn ADO.NET, so I created an active-x control in VB 6 that exposes the DAO functions and properties. It works like this Dim msDAO as eDAO10182004.eDA msDAO = Me.DAO_ICMAIN.GetOc msDAO.DatabasePath = Unified.Settings.DataPath & "\Inventory Control.mdb msDAO.RecordsetSQL = "SELECT * FROM [tblItemsMaster] WHERE [Item Number] = '" & Me.cboItemNumber.Text & "' msDAO.OpenConnectio You would then access the data through the msDAO.Recordset property. However, when it comes to debugging...hehehehe I cannot use breakpoints or debug any form that has an Active-X control on it, whether it is mine, or one of Microsoft's (The Windows Forms Controls are okay though). Instead, I sometimes get a error message, but most of the time the program just quits without warning. It makes it hell for me because I keep having to write message boxes to figure out where in my code I am. Try...Catch statements don't even work on any subroutine that references an Active-X control. I'm at my wit's end. It takes hours a day to track down one bug. Just one I'm using VB .NET 2003 Can someone, perhaps someone from Microsoft help me? Tag: Capture Lost Tag: 67283

    - Why is windows forms controls bolding so hard? Why are fonts so hard to use in .NET? All I want to do is bold the font in runtime - yet, xxx.xxx.Font.Bold is readonly. The only way I can see to bold a font for anything at run time is to change the font to a whole NEW font; i.e., for my listview subitem I have to say: lst.SubItems(6).Font = New System.Drawing.Font(lst.SubItems(6).Font, Drawing.FontStyle.Bold) Again, I don't want to change the font itself, just make it bold (or italic). Is this the only way to do it? Or am I missing an easier way? Thanks. Tom Tag: Capture Lost Tag: 67280

What's the handle? A Control or just the form?

If its for the for, you'll have to roll your own.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but I can put the handler in either the
control or form. I have a central "capture manager" singleton that all mouse
input gets redirected to, which in turn passes it onto the applications
currently active tool. I'm not interested in the window gaining the capture,
only the change notification itself so I can inform the tool to cancel its
operation.
