    - Trapping Exceptions - another issue I'm trying to capture all unhandled exceptions in my Forms Application. First I subscribe to ThreadException ... public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); Application.ThreadException += new System.Threading.ThreadExceptionEventHandler(Application_ThreadException); Then I define a method to handle the event.... private static void CurrentDomain_UnhandledException(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs ue) { Exception myEx = (Exception)ue.ExceptionObject; here I write to the database logging exception details - the data gets written ok To force an exception I put a button on my form and I handle the click as .... private void btnBlow_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { decimal dec = Convert.ToDecimal("MakeException"); //cause an exception } The intentional exception triggers my method just fine. But then the btnBlow_click gets triggered again - over and over forever. I don't know why that is happening. thanks, Gary Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110833

    - Cancel windows message from reaching parent I am developing a set of controls that must function inside of an application that loads them through COM interop (I don't believe that makes a difference). The application is designed to always handled the "Enter" key. One of my controls is a text box which needs to allow the user multiline input and not being able to use the "Enter" key is borderline unacceptable. I have tried to override WndPRoc, PreProcessMessage, and a host of other behaviors, but I cannot get the application to stop catching the enter message. I have written all messages to a text file when I transition using enter versus using a mouse click, and I cannot even find a message that indicates my control received an "Enter" at all.

    - Can a RichTextBox be hijacked so as to paint on another control's display surface? Is it possible to hijack a RichTextBox's Paint method in such a fashion as to get the RichTextBox's paint logic to operate on another control's display surface? If so, how? The task I'm trying to accomplish is to include a RichTextBox column in a DataGridView. The problem is, DataGridView cells don't readily lend themselves to being derived from a RichTextBox so I have the choice of re-inventing RichTextBox painting in code or somehow getting the results of a RichTextBox's paint back to my DataGridViewCell derived control. My thought is, I can do this by copying the RichTextBox's rendering from its own display surface over to the cell's display surface or pass the Graphics object (or maybe the HDC?) from the cell into the RichTextBox's Paint method. Any ideas how to do this? -- Richard Lewis Haggard www.Haggard-And-Associates.com Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110825

    - Simple Rich Text Parser/Painter? I have a DataGridView with a column that needs to display text that may be normal or bold, has user specified color and can handle hyper text links. The obvious solution was to derive from RichTextBox. I figured out how to get a real RichTextBox control to handle the edit functions but I have not been as successful in displaying the results once the edit control has been disposed of. Any suggestions how this might be accomplished? I can think of two approaches - display the RichTextBox editor's contents as a bitmap or write a simple RTF parser and paint the results on the cell. I'm leaning towards the parser but have not found sample code on which to base my own implementation.

    - DataGridView custom cell - losing first character on edit I've created a RichTextBox DataGridView cell but the first character entered when the cell is in display mode is lost when the cell makes the transition to edit mode. What is the sequence of events that happens behind the scenes when: a) RichTextBox cell is displaying data and has focus. b) User enters a keyboard character. c) Cell transitions to edit mode. When the edit process starts, the editor control collects the data that is present in the cell and sets its own value to it. Initially, of course, this is an empty string. Any subsequent keystrokes are properly handled by the RichTextBox control but the initial keystroke that triggered the display of this control is lost. I did do one odd thing - I got tired of having that stupid page show up that said design mode was unavailable for the RichTextBoxEditingControl so I encapsulated the RichTextBox itself into a User Control. The RichTextBoxEditingControl is derived from the RichTextBox encapsulating User Control and this makes Visual Studio '05 happy. public partial class RichTextBoxControl : UserControl { // Accessor to allow operations on the contained RichTextBox // The child RichTextBox control was added to the UserControl form as richTextBox. public RichTextBox RichTextBox { get { return richTextBox; } } public RichTextBoxControl() { InitalizeComponent(); } } public class RichTextBoxEditingControl : RichTextBoxControl, IDataGridViewEditingControl { // Bunches of code to implement the IDataGridViewEditingControl interface. // Influenced by the MSDN DateTIme Calendar sample. // ... } Any suggestions on where the lost character is going to and, more importantly, how I can get it into the RichTextBox? -- Richard Lewis Haggard www.Haggard-And-Associates.com Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110805

    - Empty NumericUpDown Hello, I have a small problem ; I have found an alternate solution but I don't like it. The problem is simple, let's take a form, a numericUpDown inside and a button that will show the value of the numericUpDown in a MessageBox (or elsewhere, whatever). Let's say you put '5' in the numericUpDown, click the button, "5", ok. Now, erase the '5' in the numericUpDown, click the button, still "5" but _nothing_ in the numericUpDown. My problem is that I would like to catch when the user erases what's inside the numericUpDown in order to put in the MinimumValue or just display the actual Value. Of course, I don't want it to be ReadOnly. My alternate solution is to use numericUpDown.UpButton() then numericUpDown.DownButton() but as I said, I don't like it. If anyone has encountered the same problem and found a (better) solution, I would like to read it. Thanks, -- neva Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110794

    - "default" Desktop and Ctrl+Alt+Del Hello, I'm currently programming an application which is started replacing the userinit.exe. The code does the following. When the user logs on the application is creating a new desktop "newDesktop", then the original userinit is created at "newDesktop". So the shell uses "newDesktop" as its desktop, too. The same is with the other applications, that are started when the user logs on. After starting the original userinit the program creates another desktop "formDesktop" where the forms of my Desktop are displayed, while the system configuration of the logged on user is loaded in the background. In this form the user has to solve some tasks and when this is done correct the "formDesktop" closes and the "newDesktop" is set as visible Desktop and the program exits else the user will be logged off. For sure you ask why "newDesktop" for the shell process? The answer is that when the user logs on the visible desktop is "default". If I don't use "newDesktop" the user can manipulate the desktop before the form is displayed and this cannot be allowed. If the application sets the "default" desktop visible before exit the hotkeys and trayicons and so on are still registered to the "newDesktop" and not the "default" desktop, so "newDesktop" stays the user's desktop for the session. What is the problem I have? Well, the ctrl+alt+del event opens the taskmanager in the "default" desktop, thus it's invisible to the user, although the process exist. Making the long story short, here is the question: Is there a way to make the taskbar appear in the "newDesktop" when ctrl+alt+del is pressed? I hope I could make myself clear. kind regards, Alexander Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110772

    - DataGridView: last column can be made smaller but not bigger Hi, I have a DataGridView control where the user can resize the columns. The control is embedded inside a Panel. When clicking on and dragging the column seperator to the right of the rightmost column, I can make the column smaller when I move it to the left. If I try to move it to the right however, my cursor is halted against the edge of the control. So the column can't be made bigger. This can be reproduced in the sample at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1x64c23x.aspx by clicking Customer->View Orders in the main form and doing it on the table that appears. In that sample, it is possible to make the last column bigger again by making the whole window bigger, until its length is more than the total length of the columns, creating an open space between the columns and the edge of the window. Then the right seperator of the rightmost column can be dragged freely, up until the edge of the window. However, this trick isn't practical in my own control, since the control is too small and the total column length too long. Is there some standard way to make it behave like the list view in Explorer, where you can resize past the border of the window? Kind regards, Raf Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110762

    - Datagridview and the Enter Key Hi all, I have a datagrid that doesnt allow the user to edit. When the user clicks a row, the whole row gets selected. I'd like it so that when the user has a row selected and presses enter, a new form is opened and passed data from the row. At the moment, when I press enter, I can get the window to open, but the selected row moves down one. Is there any way I can surpress this behavior when pressing enter? Many thanks Simon Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110743

    - Child form focus problem Hi all, An application I am woking on consist of a main form. On the main form there are several possible ways for the user to open a non-modal child forms to display even more information. The problem I am encountering is about loss of focus. Let's say here, that initialization of the child form takes about =BD second, from the point where the window is first shown to the point where all controls have been rendered and set with data. Now, on the main form there is a datagridview which is updated on intervals. The problem occurs the user clicks a button to open a child form. The child form is created. But before initialization of the child form has finished, the DataGridView on the main form is updated. Seemingly because of this, the main form gets focus and is moved to the front, and the child form is moved to the back. The user can manually put focus on the child form again and continue working, but tuhis is a behaviour that is very anoying to the end users. Have any of you encountered something like this before? The non-modal strategy is by design. The users want to be able to go back to the main form, without closing the child form. Therefore, I'm searching primarily for any help on the focus problem, and will only use a modal child form strategy if no resolution to the problem can be found. Thanks in advance, Christer Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110739

    - Windows Form App and VPN I have some clients who have users who reside outside of the company's network. The company is going to allow remote access through a VPN on the server for access to the SQL Server database. I want to have my forms app which will run on the client machine to automatically open the VPN when the program starts and close it when the program ends. That way, the clients doesn't have to set anything up and they don't have to worry about how the data is accessed. Is it possible to this from a windows form app and if so what operating systems would the client have to be running in order to do this? Bill Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110729

    - OnPaint automatically call e.Graphics.Clear()? Hello. I have a question about OnPaint override. For example, if i have the following code in my inherited form class, private Brush _brush = Brushes.Black; private RectangleF _rect = new RectangleF(0,0,100,100); private int counter =0; protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e){ if (counter==0){ counter++; e.Graphics.Clear(Color.White); e.Graphics.DrawString("Test", this.Font, _brush, _rect); } } I expect the OnPaint method will do nothing after the first call. That means, the string "Test" should stay on screen if the form is not resized/moved/covered by other windows. However, in reality, the OnPaint do the e.Graphics.Clear() automatically. I'd like to know if that is possible for me to stop that behavior. In my application, my form contains many individual text strings. The strings are updated periodically individually. I would like to render the updated strings only, not rendering the whole thing for every string update. Thank you very much for your help! Gilbert Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110726

    - mouse move I want to detect and receive a event to my MDI window when the moves outside of the window.. I am unable to receive events. I know there is a case of sending a manual message (George Shepherd's Win FAQ) before opening Top Level windows or doing anything that take mouse focus away from the MDI window. Considering the scope of our application, this I feel might be an effort. Is this the only way? or any other way possible? VJ Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110725

    - Filtering key strokes Hi, having a card reader attached to the PS/2 keyboard interface, I would like to filter the keyboard input, so that the input from the card reader does not reach the GUI controls. I tried setting KeyPreview=true on the form and catched all input with the KeyDown event. In order to detect, if the input comes from the card reader, I need to check a sequence of at least 10 keys. So I collect the keys in KeyDown and if it's a card reader sequence, I trigger a special action for it. If it's normal user input, I need to "forward" the collected key strokes to the form. The second part is the complicated one. Having a sequence of key strokes in an array of type System.Windows.Forms.Keys, how do I resend these to the application? Sendkeys only accepts a string and seems to not support all values of the System.Windows.Forms.Keys enum. Is there maybe a way to resend keystrokes using the integer values captured from the KeyValue member of the KeyEventArgs? bye, Marc T. Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110724

    - ClickOnce & proxy authentification We have developed a VisualStudio 2005 smart-client application which we deploy using .NET framework 2.0 ClickOnce. We are experiencing difficulties deploying in certain corporate environments: clients that use proxy authentification simply cannot install unless they disable the proxy which is usually not an option. Apparently this is a known issue with ClickOnce and Microsoft has released a HotFix for it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917952/en-us Could we please receive a copy of this HotFix? This is a huge and recurring problem that makes us look bad. Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110720

    - Forms and Labels I wonder if you could help. The event handler code below, will allow the user to change the phone number and write it on a label of a message box. I want to replace the message box with a dialog box. Can anybody help me replace the message box below to a dialog box. In other words. I want to write the new phone number on a label (named "labe1")of a dialog box (named "dialog2),instead of writing the new phone number on the label of a message box. private: System::Void dialogBtnItem_Click(System::Object * sender, System::EventArgs * e) { // Create the dialog MyDialog* box = new MyDialog(); //Fill in the initial data box->Phone = S"(650)123-3456)"; // <------ This is the phone number to be changed //Show dialog if (box->ShowDialog() == DialogResult::OK) { MessageBox::Show(box->Phone); //<-----I tried to change this line } } Tag: Correction to that Tag: 110713

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += new
UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(CurrentDomain_UnhandledException);

Not that this should make a difference, but I usually put the
UnhandledException code in the static main class.
