    - RichTextBox printing problem Hi I have post this question all over the net but no one seems to be able to help me with this issue. Please help me, it urgent that I finish this printout but this problem is just driving me crazy? Im currently using the FormatRange function to print out RichTextBox contents. My problem is when I have finished printing out the text of the control I want to get the Y-pos on the printing area where the last char was printed out. I need that pos to put more text on the printing area, not by adding more text to the richtextbox that Im printing out. I just want to write more text on the printing canvas. Is there any way to get this position, height of the text or anything that will help me continue writing on the printing are? regards Palli Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85182

    - Serializing System.Windows.Forms I am working on a form designer. I have defined my own controls to list into a IToolBoxService, and the PropertyGrid, but I am having a difficult time Serializing a Windows Form to XML. Bascially, I want to take the form & Properties, and Controls within the form & Properties and place them into an XML file for later use. The ResXResourceWriter is fairly straight forward to use, but as a resx files, it doesn't store all of the property information about the form. System.Windows.Forms.Form is not serializable, so what options do I have to serialize this stuff to xml? Any examples, or help is greatly appreciated. Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85171

    - Unbelievably Bizzare Combobox Problem I have a small winforms app with a combobox. When I am logged in as a domain administrator, the combobox behaves as expected. When I am logged in as a domain user, clicking the box brings down the options, then it immeiately goes back up. After that the form locks up. I am also continuously reading data from a serial port, if that makes any difference. I am pulling my hair out over this, what do I do? Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85169

    - Missing the 'Expandable' TreeNode property The MSDN has an article titled: "HOW TO: Dynamically Add Nodes to a TreeView WebBrowser Control by Using Visual C# .NET". The article exploits a property of the TreeNode control called 'Expandable'. However, the property is available only for the Web Controls, and to my surprise I couldn't find it among the TreeNode Windows Forms properties. This Expandable property is crucial if you want to develop a smart, dynamic tree view which doesn't load all the data at once, but does it automatically as the user requests to expand the node. This is especially important if you want to bind the tree view to a database which can contain thousands of rows and you don't want to load all the nodes if the user doesn't even request it. Without the Expandable property the node doesn't have the ability to expand if you don't feed the sub-nodes during the tree creation. In other words the node doesn't have the 'plus' box to trigger the 'Expand' request. If the subnodes are supposed to be provided only on the expand request, then you are stuck. Is there any workaround for this problem? Thanks Cezar Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85166

    - DrawImage I don't know whether this item should go here but I can't find out where it should go. I have a custom control that draws icons at various locations on the form. When I use an 8 bit icon then I'm ok but when I use a 32bit Icon with Alpha blending then it seems ok until I do something else then when GDI tries to draw the image it throws a NullReferenceException. The code is a bit complicated to put here but the painting part seems relativly straight forward. If anyone has had something similar then I'm willing to try anything to get it working correctly, only it looks rubbish with the 8 bit Icons a great with the 32-bit ones. Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85165

    - Get caret pos in TextBox The documentation states that you can use the SelectionStart property of the TextBox to get the position of the caret in the TextBox. Well, what if the selection is BEFORE the caret? Say you have the word â??TEXTâ?? and you want to select â??EXâ??. There are 2 ways you can do this. You can click before the E and drag to the X so the caret is now sitting after the X. You can click after the X and drag to the E so the caret is now sitting before the E. In both cases the SelectionStart property has the value of 1 and the SelectionLength has a value of 2, yet the caret is in two different places. Using the SelectionStart property alone canâ??t always give you the correct caret position. How can one get the true caret position and be absolutely sure itâ??s correct? Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85157

    - Problem using a UserControl in a DataGrid Hi In my Windows Form application I created a File Browser control that was derived from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl. It contains a single line text box and a button. The user can enter a filename in the text box or hit the browse button which pops up the File Open Dialog box and lets the user select a file. The subsequent selection is placed in the text box. This control is placed in a DataGrid using a column derived from DataGridColumnStyle. Everything works great except when Iâ??m entering text in the text box of my File Browser control, hitting Left, Right, Home, or End moves the current cell in the DataGrid instead of moving the caret in the text box. Iâ??ve found that if I derive a class from TextBox and use that in my UserControl instead of using the stock TextBox, override the ProcessCmdKey() method, and move the caret myself, I can get this to work correctly. This seems really sloppy though. I donâ??t know why the TextBox is not using and keeping the keys instead of ignoring them and letting the messages bubble up to the grid control. Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85149

    - MouseDown, MouseUp Hi, I have trouble understanding why this fails but here is what I'm trying to do: I have 1 form with 2 controls in it. I created a MouseDown handler for both controls (setting up different internal things each) and 1 MouseUp handler for the form since both controls can use the same code. Now, what I was excepting was: - The 2 controls would catch and call their MouseDown handlers: that works. - And as none of the controls have no MouseUp handler the message would be propagated to the parent form where the form MouseUp handler would be called: that doesn't work. Capturing the mouse doesn't help. Any ideas? Thanks Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85140

And finally I can dispose it when the form is disposed. But I have read somewhere that Graphics object should never be stored as member varibale of a class.And so I am really confused as to what should I do ?

When more than 1 childform is opened i get a problem when clicking another form to get to it (take it to foreground). It only works when a control is clicked in the other form, otherwise, the first form just stays in the forground and the other form doesn't get selected. I hope this is kind of clear. I thought the problem was with one childform having the topmost-property set to true, but this isn't the case. Anyone seen this behaviour and knows what might cause it. Thanks, Bjorn.

    - Items in Combo Box list are not visible I am using Visual Basic .Net with Windows XP Professional. I have added a Combo Box to my form and changed the drop-down style to DropDownList. I have added items by typing them into the items property: "Item1" "Item2" "Item3" "Item4" "Item5" "Item6" When I run the code, the items are not visible in the drop-down list -- even though I have verified that the item count is correct when running the code. If I click on the empty space in the drop-down list where an item should be, it appears in the Combo Box. For instance, if I click where Item 1 should be then Item 1 appears in the Combo Box.

    - Bug in DataGrid.CommitEdit (.Net v1.1) After many hours of debugging, I've finally come to the conclusion that there is a bug in DataGrid's CommitEdit. I have the following situation: I've a custom DataGridColumnStyle (for a ComboBox, who hasn't done one of these?). If no selection is made (e.g. SelectedIndex == -1), I want to abort the commit. Problem is, when my DataGridColumnStyle.Commit override is called and returns false, DataGrid.CommitEdit causes a NullReferenceException to be thrown. I'm using the following code: /// <code> bool retValue = false; try { int index = this._Combo.SelectedIndex; if ( index >= 0 ) { object value; if ( this._Combo.ValueMember == null ) value = this._Combo.SelectedItem; else value = this._Combo.SelectedValue; this.SetColumnValueAtRow( source, rowNum, value ); retValue = true; } } catch(Exception) {} this.EndEdit(); return retValue; /// </code> I googled some posts and saw people having the same problem, but I saw no explanations. Not satisified (and lacking a solution), I fired up WinDbg, SOS and Reflector. The disassembler DataGrid.CommitEdit is: /// <code> private bool CommitEdit() { if ((!this.gridState[0x8000] && !this.gridState[0x4000]) || this.gridState[0x10000]) { return true; } this.gridState[0x10000] = true; if (this.editColumn.ReadOnly || this.gridState[0x100000]) { if (base.ContainsFocus) { if (this.gridState[0x800]) { this.FocusInternal(); } this.editColumn.ConcedeFocus(); if ((this.gridState[0x800] && base.CanFocus) && !this.Focused) { this.FocusInternal(); } } this.gridState[0x10000] = false; return true; } bool flag1 = this.editColumn.Commit(this.ListManager, this.currentRow); this.gridState[0x10000] = false; if (flag1) { this.gridState[0x8000] = false; } return flag1; } /// </code> In WinDbg, I broke on the exception thrown and took a look at the object dump for the datagrid. Turns out that the first if statement evaluates to false. On the second if statement (if (this.editColumn.ReadOnly ...), DataGrid.editColumn is null, hence the exception. The full stack trace leading up to the exception is: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.CommitEdit() at System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.EndEdit() at System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.Edit(String instantText) at System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.Edit() at System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.set_CurrentCell(DataGridCell value) at System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseDown(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) The exact context of the crash is, I'm editting my combo box column, then click another column (with a selected index == -1, causing my Commit to return false). Oddly enough, if I cancel editting by clicking a control outside of the data grid (e.g. not causing another cell to gain focus), no error occurs until the data grid once again has a cell gain focus. Can anyone confirm/reproduce this? If necessary, I'll throw together a toned-down application to reproduce the error. Thanks, Nathan Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85101

    - Cannot set form background image I recently started using VisualStudio.Net for the first time. I started a project and created some forms to gain an understanding of how to use C#, Visual Studio, and the .Net framework. One of the first things I did was to create a non-standard window with rounded corners and set the background image of the form. I set the background image by simply opening the form properties and clicking the "..." button next to the BackgroundImage property and selected an image to use as the background, in this case it was a JPG, and all was fine. I could see the background image in Visual Studio and when I ran my application. Sometime later I created a new project and started developing a small and real application. I decided to add a splash screen. I wanted to use a bitmap I created as the backgroud of the splash screen. As before I opened the form properties and clicked the "..." button next the BackgroundImage property and selected the bitmap only to receive an error "Empty path name is not legal". I tried selecting several different images with the same result. I then copied images to c:\ and tried selecting from there with the same result. I thought I must have been doing something differently then I had done with the first project in which I sucessfully set the background image. I tried setting the background image in the first project, thining it would work, but it did not. I got the same error. So I closed everything down and rebooted, thinking this might help, but it did not help. What the heck is going on? Has anyone ever encountered this problem? Did I inadvertently change some critical environment setting that is causing this problem? I am baffled! Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85100

    - TabControl/TabPage VisibleChanged event problem I am using the VisibleChanged event of the tabpage to add/remove main menu bar items. When I receive the visiblechanged event and the visible=true I add the main menu item and when I receive the event and visible=false I remove the main menu item. Everything works great, switching between the tabs works great. The problem comes in when I remove a tabpage from the tabcontrol. The tabpage receives one final visiblechanged event with visible set to true and I add the menu item back to the main menu. Is this a bug in the framework? The tab page is not in fact visible, but I don't receive any further visiblechanged events to indicate this. Any one have any work arounds for this? Any other suggestions on how to implement main menu items for each tab page? Or any other suggestion on how to hide a tab on the tab control without removing it. Thanks, Tom.

Private Sub DownButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DownButton.Click Me.BindingContext(DataSet11, "table").Position -= 1 End Sub ..(second-from-last rec shows ok), then Delete, the msgbox says "Delete record 88 (Unchanged)?", which is good. But after deleting it, (and the display going back to show rec 0 again for some reason) and then going to the last record again and clicking Delete again, the msgbox says "Delete record 88 (Deleted)?"!! (I have a 'debug' text box which shows the statuses of the last few records ('rows', I should say), and that clearly shows record 88 as Deleted, and 89 as Unchanged.) Whew! Thanks, if anybody's read this far. I'm confused. I'm clearly not getting something.

    - Disabling maximise button affects maximised form size...? I've just noticed that if I set a form's window state to be maximized, and also disable the maximize button on the title bar, then the form will cover the task bar. If I enable the Maximize button, then the form does not cover the task bar. I assume this is 'by design'.... but I need a window that has no maximize button (so the user cannot 'de-maximize it) but also I don't want it to cover the task bar. Is this possible through some other nefarious means? Cheers Ant Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85081

    - Activate issue: not activated or active window on load I have a MDI application, but that isn't important, and why I posted it here instead of the MDI forum. I have class "App Loader" that contains Main. It loads a splash screen that shows up before the main window, and it runs on a background thread. It shows up while the app is loading. Once the app has loaded all the required resources, the main form is shown and activated. On Win 2003 and Win2K, the "app" flashes in the taskbar, but doesn't show up as the active window in the foreground. If you run it by clicking the EXE from within Windows Explorer, after it loads, Explorer is still the active window. I tried: //make this puppy come to front and activated Application.DoEvents(); this.TopMost = true; this.TopMost = false; this.BringToFront(); this.Activate(); This did improve the behaviour on XP, but not Win2K and Win2003.

    - What's wrong with DataView I have such sentence in my program: {... ... DataView dataView = new DataView(dataSet.Tables[0]); Console.Writeline(dataView.Count.toString());} And this module runs very frequently. There are ten records in the Tables[0] . But in one of PC with XP SP2, we can only get one record from dataView. That means dataView.Count.toString() is 1. Why? Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85072

    - Debug makes Windows freezing? I used Visual Studio 2003/Windows XP SP1 to create a window application. At the form, I put a button and run debug. I put some break point on the Load event of form and it works fine. I also put a break point at click button event and click the button, but I never get the break point at the click button event. The Windows system seems freezing. I can not call other program. I can not use ALT-CTRL-DEL keys to restart the computer. But the Task Manager, which I started before debug, still displays the system parameters. The CPU usage is only 2 or 3 percent. The Mem Usage seems to be normal, too. I reinstalled the Visual Studio and I still got the problem. Could some one help me to solve the problem? Thanks - George Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85070

    - Databinding Combobox to ArrayList (again: argh!) An ArrayList contains Person objects with Properties Name, Age, Phone. A Windows Form displays - TextBoxes for these properties as well as - a ComboBox for the Name and - VCR Buttons First/Previous/Next/Last. DataBinding should display the correct information in the textboxes no matter if navigation happens through the VCR buttons or the combobox. The combobox should always contain the same information as the txtName textbox. I tried several combinations of defining the databinding. No matter what combination of the following lines I used, I get errors from "stack overflow" to metadata/type info displayed in the combobox. txtName.DataBindings.Add("Text", myPersons, "Name") txtAge.DataBindings.Add("Text", myPersons, "Age") txtPhone.DataBindings.Add("Text", myPersons, "Phone") cboName.DataBindings.Add("Text", myPersons, "Name") cboName.DataSource = myPersons cboName.DisplayMember = "Name" cboName.ValueMember = "Name" 1) What is wrong? 2) How does the code need to be changed if objects should be added and deleted from the arraylist by additional buttons? thank you, herbert Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85065

    - Can't access digital camera to copy from in code I am trying to copy pictures from a digital camera in code. When I use the FolderBrowserDialog, it won't let me select the camera as the folder. I have gotten around this by using Shell32.BrowseForFolder. I am then also able to get the names of the files. However, the path is a pidl (i believe). So I am unable to utilize .Net IO classes to manipulate the files. This is windows form that ultimately will allow the user to browse for a camera, pick a client, then ftp pictures to the server for later processing. Thanks, Glen Tag: Control.Add Tag: 85064

Hi,

I have created my own specific panel, and now I need to know when something
is added to it. Does anyone know if it's possible to either get an event, or
override the Control.Add function ?

With regards

Hi,

The Control class provides the ControlAdded event which occurs when a control is
added to its ControlCollection.

Dear Rodger,

that is working in the full framework, but what do I do when I goes into the
Compact Framework. The ControlAdded event isn't present in the Compact
framework.
