    - Location of Taskbar (Top, Bottom, Left or Right) I'm trying to figure out the location of the taskbar (top, bottom, left or right). I am creating an owner drawn tooltip for a NotifyIcon and trying to figure out where to position the form when the user hovers over the NotifyIcon in the system tray. Is there another way to approach the issue of the form placement? Thanks in advance, Terry Tag: Clickonce: keep data files on uninstall? Tag: 113819

    - scaling UI (higher resolution => bigger buttons + bigger font) I want to create a UI with Windows Forms that should scale with the resolution. It's some sort of demonstration UI to be used on presentations. For example: my application is always maximized and lets say it contains 4 big buttons (in 2 rows and 2 columns) that completely fill the screen. When it runs on a 800x600 screen it should fill all space. When it runs on a 1600x1200 screen it should also fill all available space. I have already used a tableLayoutPanel but this only scales the controls, not the font. Is the tableLayoutPanel the right tool for this job? And can it also dynamically change the fontsize?

    - change location of control Hi all, I have a form that inherits from another form. I want to change the location of a specific control. For this I have a method in the base form which does only this: public virtual void SetLocation(int x, int y) { myControl.Location = new Point(x, y); } I call this method from the inheriting form, like this: base.SetLocation(0, 0); It doesn't work. The control's location changes but not to (0,0). When I call this method from inside the base form it does work(changes to 0,0). It looks like the inheriting form can't touch some certain area. Can anybody explain to me what may cause this issue, and how to solve it? Thank you very much Tag: Clickonce: keep data files on uninstall? Tag: 113814

    - Application deployment Hi there, I am nearing completion of my first real project in .NET and I'm looking at the various deployment options. The clickonce alternative seems like the ideal option for us, but my solution contains sevreal projects which make up 2 .exe files and a few .dll s which must be included in the installation. It would appear that clickonce deployment only applies to a single solution file, is there any way to combine multiple exe files into a single clickonce installation that will take advantage of the autoupdate feature? I have made a deployment project and that seems to work fine, but I really need the update procedure of clickonce and if possible want to avoid any major changes to the project at this stage. Any help/suggestions are very much appreciated. Kind regards Darren Sim Tag: Clickonce: keep data files on uninstall? Tag: 113798

    - Using ComboBox in DataGridView with custom classes as datasource Hello. I'm working on a telephone directory lookup for an application and have a custom class I would like to show in a datagridview. The problem is that a person might have more than one mobile phone registered, but the application expects only one, so the user will have to choose one. My idea was to use a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn in a datagridview to let the user choose one of the phone numbers. This is the class: public class PersonInfo { private string _name; private string _address; private string _workPhone; private string _homePhone; private string[] _mobilePhone; public PersonInfo(string name, string address, string workPhone, string homePhone, string[] mobilePhone) { this._name = name; this._address = address; this._workPhone = workPhone; this._homePhone = homePhone; this._mobilePhone = mobilePhone; } public string Name { get { return _name; } } public string Address { get { return _address; } } public string WorkPhone { get { return _workPhone; } } public string HomePhone { get { return _homePhone; } } public string[] MobilePhone { get { return _mobilePhone; } } } The problem is getting the numbers in the MobilePhone property to show up. Is this at all possible? Does anyone have some idea of how to do this? Tag: Clickonce: keep data files on uninstall? Tag: 113792

    - How to disable Start menu or prevent it to open? Hi, I need an app to run in kiosk mode, so user will not have access to start menu and taskbar while the app is running I was able to hide / show the taskbar with the following code when app starts / exits [DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "FindWindowA")] static extern int FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName); [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern int SetWindowPos(int hwnd, int hWndInsertAfter, int x, int y, int cx, int cy, int wFlags); const int SWP_HIDEWINDOW = 128; const int SWP_SHOWWINDOW = 64; static public void HideTaskbar() { int intReturn = FindWindow("Shell_traywnd", ""); SetWindowPos(intReturn, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_HIDEWINDOW); } static public void ShowTaskbar() { int intReturn = FindWindow("Shell_traywnd", ""); SetWindowPos(intReturn, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_SHOWWINDOW); } But users still can access the start menu with Windows button (or Ctrl +Esc) Is there any way to disable start menu too?

    - Help - Sudden crashes while editing DataGridView properties! I have a fairly large winforms project, VB/Dot Net 2.0. While in the midst of fairly routine editing I have suddenly found myself unable to click on the 'Choose Data Source' dropdown of DataGridView Tasks without crashing Visual Studio. This goes for all DataGridViews within the project and only this one project. It does not matter if the the DataGridView has been setup already or if it has just been put on the form. I am able to edit DGVs normally in other projects. I have also tried rebuilding the solution and even rebooting. Nothing works. (One of my co-workers has just suggested that the solution itself is corrupt and I should try creating an entirely new solution and copying over individual files. I'll probably do that.)

    - Drawing tabs in ListBox.DrawItem event I have a ListBox, and have changed the DrawMode to DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed. I'm using the ListBox.DrawItem event to do some custom coloring in my ListBox object. My item strings contain tabs, but after drawing the items myself, the tabs are not intepreted. Currently I'm just using the sample code given in the MSDN docs for the event handler: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- private void listBox1_DrawItem(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs e) { // Set the DrawMode property to draw fixed sized items. listBox1.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed; // Draw the background of the ListBox control for each item. e.DrawBackground(); // Define the default color of the brush as black. Brush myBrush = Brushes.Black; int mod = e.Index % 3; // Determine the color of the brush to draw each item based on the index of the item to draw. switch (mod) { case 0: myBrush = Brushes.Red; break; case 1: myBrush = Brushes.Orange; break; case 2: myBrush = Brushes.Purple; break; } // Draw the current item text based on the current Font and the custom brush settings. e.Graphics.DrawString(listBox1.Items[e.Index].ToString(), e.Font, myBrush,e.Bounds,StringFormat.GenericDefault); // If the ListBox has focus, draw a focus rectangle around the selected item. e.DrawFocusRectangle(); } ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I mentioned, my items contain tabs, and when I intercept this event, my strings look like this: "Name\taddress\tetc..." Also, in case it matters, I'm setting my own tab stops in the list box: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- private void SetDeviceListTabStops() { // A tab-stop location of 4 equates to the width of one average character for the specified font int[] listBoxTabs = new int[] { 20, 75, 110, 160 }; // Send an LB_SETTABSTOPS message to the ListBox control. int result = SendMessage(this.listBox1.Handle.ToInt32(), LB_SETTABSTOPS, listBoxTabs.Length, ref listBoxTabs[0]); // Refresh the List Box control. this.listBox1.Refresh(); } ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyone know what I need to set in order for the tabs to be drawn/interpretted?

    - Problem rendering metafile text on bitmap. Hi, I have a problem with the quality from metafiles rendered on a System.Drawing.Bitmap. In particular, text is drawn poorly. If the same metafile is rendered directly onto a form's drawing surface, the quality is fine. There's also a problem with scaling, with a difference in size between the bitmap and directly drawn versions. The code below illustrates the problem. It draws a string three times. The top one is the string drawn directly on the form. The middle one is from a metafile (with the string drawn onto it) drawn directly onto the form. The bottom one is from the same metafile, rendered onto a bitmap, which is then drawn onto the form. Top two look fine, bottom one not so good. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Chris. Bitmap bitmap; Metafile metafile; private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { using (Graphics formGraphics = CreateGraphics()) { IntPtr handle = formGraphics.GetHdc(); metafile = new Metafile(handle, EmfType.EmfOnly); formGraphics.ReleaseHdc(); using (Graphics metaGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(metafile)) { metaGraphics.DrawString("Test string", new Font("Arial", 14), Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 0)); } bitmap = new Bitmap(400, 100); bitmap.SetResolution(formGraphics.DpiX, formGraphics.DpiY); using (Graphics bitmapGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap)) { bitmapGraphics.DrawImage(metafile, new Point(0, 0)); } formGraphics.DrawString("Test string", new Font("Arial", 14), Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 0)); formGraphics.DrawImage(metafile, new Point(0, 50)); formGraphics.DrawImage(bitmap, new Point(0, 100)); } } Tag: Clickonce: keep data files on uninstall?

    - What are my options for implementing a horizontal drag/drop contro I have an interesting problem. I have a set of records in a data table organized by a simple key. What I want to do is represent these records as icons on a horizontally oriented control in asending order. Furthermore, I want to be able to use this display to reorganize the order of the records in the data table. i.e. If the control is displaying item1, item2, item3, I want to be able to select item2 and drag it to the left so that the new order in the data table is item2, item1, item3. Also I want the control to have horizontal scrolling capability because there will almost certainly be more than a few of these items. I have some old code that I might be able to adapt but I'd like to see other options. Any ideas? Tag: Clickonce: keep data files on uninstall? Tag: 113774

    - Missing Record in Crystal Report I have a Crystal Report, which DataSource is made up of 2 tables, 1 Header table and 1 Detail table. The Detail table contains extra details of the items in the Header table. Not all Header items has a record in the Detail table. As for my Crystal Report, I'm grouping the records by the Header table's primary key (which is linked to the Detail table). I discovered that for those items that does not have a record in the Detail table, it wont show up in my Crystal Report. What should I do to let those record appear?

    - Binding DateTimePicker question Hello, I thought that my DateTimePicker was bound to my binding source in my entry form, but it does not behave as though it were. Here is the AutoGenerated code for that control: // modifiedDateDateTimePicker // this.modifiedDateDateTimePicker.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Value", this.bsMTask, "ModifiedDate", true)); this.modifiedDateDateTimePicker.Enabled = false; this.modifiedDateDateTimePicker.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(129, 366); this.modifiedDateDateTimePicker.Name = "modifiedDateDateTimePicker"; this.modifiedDateDateTimePicker.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(200, 20); this.modifiedDateDateTimePicker.TabIndex = 25; Here is exception text that is returned when I get the error: "Column 'ModfiedDate' does not allow nulls." ************** Exception Text ************** System.Data.NoNullAllowedException: Column 'ModifiedDate' does not allow nulls. at System.Data.DataColumn.CheckNullable(DataRow row) at System.Data.DataTable.RaiseRowChanging(DataRowChangeEventArgs args, DataRow eRow, DataRowAction eAction, Boolean fireEvent) at System.Data.DataTable.SetNewRecordWorker(DataRow row, Int32 proposedRecord, DataRowAction action, Boolean isInMerge, Int32 position, Boolean fireEvent, Exception& deferredException) at System.Data.DataTable.InsertRow(DataRow row, Int32 proposedID, Int32 pos, Boolean fireEvent) at System.Data.DataView.FinishAddNew(Int32 currentIndex, Boolean success) at System.Data.DataRowView.EndEdit() at System.Windows.Forms.CurrencyManager.EndCurrentEdit() at System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource.EndEdit() at HIP2007.AddEditMasterTask.btnSave_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in M:\HIP2007\HIP2007\Dialogs _ CurrentWork\AddEditMasterTask.cs:line 92 at System.EventHandler.Invoke(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mevent) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) I thought that the default value of the DateTimePicker was the value that is displayed in the control - the current datetime. BTW I have disabled this control from user interaction so that it will behave as read only. What do I do so that today's datetime is by default put into the control so I do not receive this error?

    - Catching mouse events on all child controls Greetings, I've already tried googling for the following problem, but it seems every solution I've found is too complex and error prone. I've got a control (Panel) that acts as a container for several other controls. These controls, in turn, have several other controls and so on. I wish to be notified whenever the mouse is hover the area defined by the container control, regardless of its children. OnMouseEnter and OnMouseLeave triggers as soon as the mouse enters/leaves a child control, so I can't use them. Same applies for OnGotFocus/OnLostFocus. One solution would be to hook upon all events in every child control. Despite the resulting complexity of event triggering (and the fact that some controls can simply override the events I'm listening for and inhibit them), the controls I'm using can (and will) change in run- time (we are talking about adaptative interfaces here); this would probably mean that I also need to hook upon the ControlAdded and ControlRemoved events. So my question is simple: is there any "clean" way for a control to know that a mouse is in its area (ClientRectangle)? I don't mind if the solution involves WndProc... Best regards and thanks in advance, Hugo Ferreira Tag: Clickonce: keep data files on uninstall? Tag: 113765

    - Very weird RichTextBox bug I have tried to make a simple sample of this - but the simple samples all work. The basic problem is I create a RichTextBox and then call RichTextBox.LoadFile() to load a rtf file in it. If the file has an image in it - the control displays nothing and RichTextBox.Text returns "". If I do the same thing in my simple sample program, it all works fine. Where it does not work I have a Word AddIn (IDTExtensibility2, not VSTO) that uses DevExpress for it's ribbon forms, etc. In it to display the rtf file I bring up a Form that has a RichTextBox in it and call LoadFile(). And if the rtf has an image in it I get a blank control. To try and recreate it I just did a plain old Windows form - no DevExpress and no Word AddIn. But that works fine.

    - Set the row background color according to a cell value Hi, At this time I'm able to set the background color of a cell depending on it's value. I'm able to achieve this by extending the DataGridTextBoxColumn class and overriding the Paint method: [code] protected override void Paint(System.Drawing.Graphics g, System.Drawing.Rectangle bounds, CurrencyManager source, int rowNum, System.Drawing.Brush backBrush, System.Drawing.Brush foreBrush, bool alignToRight) { if (internalHighlightInformation != null) { object objAtRow = GetColumnValueAtRow(source, rowNum); //(Values A, C and X are just an example, this values are set at run-time) if (objAtRow = "B" || objAtRow = "C" || objAtRow = "X") { backBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Red); foreBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.White); } } base.Paint(g, bounds, source, rowNum, backBrush, foreBrush, alignToRight); } [/code] My problem now is, how can I do this to the full row? At this stage I know the row number, and the cell, but I don't have any access to the cells that exist in the same row :( (or do I?) Any ideas? I just cannot figure out how to do this...

    - Exceptons when debugging My VB 2005 winforms application has an Application.ThreadException handler to catch any unhandled exception. When debugging, the debugger doesn't stop when I get an exception, control passes to my application exception handler. Currently I comment out the handler to be able to get the debugger to stop when an unhandled exception occurs. Ideally I would like to have the debugger stop when any exception occurs, then optionally be able to proceed by having the exception bubble up. Is this possible?

    - Autocomplete textbox with dynamic datasource I know how to use autocomplete with 2.0 framework on a textbox. I also know how to use COM interop to use the IAutoComplete interface directly. But with either approach I seem unable to change the list while the user is typing. I have an XML document and i want the user to be able to navigate to nodes by typing in an XPath. i.e. when the user types /A it pops up with /Animals /Applications and when they type /Animals/ it pops up with: /Animals/Dog /Animals/Cat I do NOT want to prepopulate the whole list. However when using the .NET framework and changing the list I get an 'Access Violation' exception which is unacceptable. I tried to use the AutoComplete COM control (IAutoComplete) based upon this blog entry : http://jiangsheng.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!1BE894DEAF296E0A!732.entry Unfortunately the control doesn't 'ask' for an updated list of items as I type. I've tried all kinds of nasty tricks, like faking an 'Escape' key press but none are acceptable because of unwanted sideeffects. I essentially want the same behavior you get with the windows filename autocompletion, but I dont see how I can achieve this. I might just have to make my own autocomplete dropdown,but woudl rather not have to do that. Any suggestions? -andy Tag: Clickonce: keep data files on uninstall? Tag: 113730

    - WebBrowser (loop automation) Hello, Background information â?¦. I have a VS2005 C# Windows forms app which has several text fields, one button control and one webbrowser control that I use to display an external webpage and based on the input data provided by the user, I perform some tasks on the webpage. The idea is to go automatically go through several web pages based in data captured by the user until I reach to a desired webpage. All this works fine, The user fills the data on the windows form, then clicks on the form's button and the process starts. The click method of this button does something like like â?¦ private void btnSendData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Uri myUri = new Uri (http://www.externalwebsite/page1.htm); this.myWebBrowser.Url = myUri; this.stageSecuence = 1; } I use a variable named "stageSecuence" in the next method to perform some automated tasks depending on the webpage that is being processed. Then for the webbrowser control I have the following method: private void myWebBrowser_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e) { switch (this.stageSecuence) { case 1: // perform some tasks like invoking the submit on the web page this.stageSecuence++; case 2: // perform some other tasks this.stageSecuence++; // and so on } Current situation, Now, instead of executing this automation on the webpage based on the data manually typed by the user; I want to call this process several times based on some database information. I wrote the following code to perfom a loop (hoping to call sereval times the automation process) for (int i = 0; i < this.numberOfTableRecords; i++) { // get record info Uri myUri = new Uri (http://www.externalwebsite/page1.htm); this.myWebBrowser.Url = myUri; this.stageSecuence = 1; } By doing this I only get the myWebBrowser_DocumentCompleted method executed only once for the last record of the loop; in fact this method is executed once the loop has finished. How can I get the DocumentCompleted method executed once for every record in the loop ? Can I call this method manually such as: this.myWebBrowser_DocumentCompleted( â?¦ ) ??

When i TileVertical 4 windows i want them === =1= === =2= === =3= === =4= === (like ALL windows application does) but i got them : ====== =1==2= ====== =3==4= ====== If TileHorizontal : the result is the same.

    - Non-English Warnings When I use OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog(), the dialog is in Dutch (which is fine for the moment). It says 'Bestandsnaam' for Filename, 'Bestandstypen' for File Types etc. But when I select a non-existing file, the warning is in English. How can I change the warnings to Dutch (or to any other language)? Tag: Clickonce: keep data files on uninstall? Tag: 113720

    - Inconsistent image behavior in a Winforms app. I'm writing a Winforms app in Dot Net 2.0. I created a few PNG images for use as button images in order to liven up appearances a bit. I thought I had given the images a transparent background using Paint.Net and they display correctly on my own computer (a lenovo T60p laptop). However when the app is run on another computer (A Dell desktop with a flat monitor, if I remember correctly) the images have a white background. (The actual button background color is the system default grey. I have not changed that.) Am I forgetting some setting? Tag: Clickonce: keep data files on uninstall? Tag: 113719

    - Delete key in DataGridViewComboBoxCell I have a DataGridViewComboBoxCell in a DataGridView. When it is selected and the user presses Delete key it is reseted to default value (or first value in ComboBox). How can I override this default behavior and delete entire row instead?

    - Capturing Shift+Return when AcceptButton is used Hi, I've got a search form with the search button used as AcceptButton for the form and everything works as expected. However, I want to be able to capture not only Return, but also Shift+Return in which case I want to change some settings and then perform the search as normal. As I understand it, when an AcceptButton is used the form's KeyDown event handler doesn't receive the Return key event even with KeyPreview on. If I remove the AcceptButton the Return key event gets through as expected. Is there a good way to find out whether Shift is currently pressed form within the accept button's Click event handler? Is there a way to display the search button with "AcceptButton style" without it actually being accept button? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    - Grid view readonly property I am having problem with the fallowing piece of code foreach (DataGridViewRow Rows in prePDDataGridView.Rows) { Rows.DefaultCellStyle = null; Rows.ReadOnly = true; DataGridViewDisableButtonCell buttonCellSave = (DataGridViewDisableButtonCell)Rows.Cells["Save"]; buttonCellSave.Enabled = false; } The above code will make all the rows in data grid view as readonly and the button cell to disable. The above code works properly when i made the form as non MDI child. But it does not work if i made the form as MDI Child. I dont know what is the reason. Any solution for this ?

    - binding CheckBox.Enabled to ComboBox selection I have a combo which is bound to a List<MyCustomObject>. One of the properties of MyCustomObject is a boolean which I would like to bind to a checkbox so that depending on the selection on the combobox, the checkbox below it would get enabled/disabled accordingly. How can this be achieved through databinding? I don't want to implement this through any event handling - just pure databinding. My initial effort was this: checkbox.DataBindings.Add("Enabled", combobox, "SelectedItem.MyBooleanProperty"); However, the above code does not work.

    - RTF Parsing super/subscript I'm looking for some sample code to implement super and subscript in an RTF control w/o using the baseline offset and font size division/multiplication. I want to actually use the \super and \sub tags from the RTF spec. Even some open source RTF editor would be fine. Java or C++ source would even be acceptable.

    - Where is the application setting file? Hello, friends, As you know, we use application settings to store and retrieve property settings (such as window form size/location) for our application for each user. But, I could not find the file that stores all these info after running our app. (I think it should be under C:\Documents and Settings, but just could not find). Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I'm getting my first ClickOnce app ready for prime time, but there's still
one thing bothering me:

At this moment I'm using |DataDirectory| to point to the SqlCe database. The
database itself is marked as "data file".

However, when I uninstall my ClickOnce app the SqlCe database is also
removed. What are my options to prevent this? Isolated storage? What would
be my connection string like?

Steven
