    - Images Do Not Show Up for TreeView Good afternoon. This had been working for several weeks, but something's changed and now my images are no longer visible in my TreeView! I've confirmed that the image file is in place and loaded correctly. I've confirmed that the ImageList is valid. I can reference imageList.Images[x] and access my icons just fine. However, if I add nodes to a TreeView and set their ImageIndex and SelectedImageIndex properties, I still see blank white. This persists whether the nodes are selected or not. It's not merely referencing the 0th element of the list, which had been blank white: for testing I made non-white. If the ImageList is valid, and the nodes' image indices are set, is there some obscure setting in TreeView that I need to enable display of images? Any ideas are appreciated! Code: ImageList imageList = new ImageList(); //imageList.ColorDepth = ColorDepth.Depth32Bit; // Has no effect imageList.ImageSize = new Size(20, 20); imageList.Images.AddStrip(global::MyNamespace.Properties.Resources.My_Icons); TreeTemp.ImageList = imageList; for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++) { TreeNode node = new TreeNode(j.ToString(), j, j); TreeTemp.Nodes.Add(node); // Show as blank white } TreeTemp.Invalidate(); // No effect BackgroundImage = imageList.Images[0]; // Displays test graphic as expected Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117736

    - Drawing In my application I'm doing some drawing in my OnPaint routine using Graphics->DrawRectangle. The rect bounds are constant and not scaled in anyway. One of our Chinese customers is seeing the rectangles appear in the wrong place. When I started investigating this I found that I got the same problems if I changed my Windows DPI settings from 96 to 120. However the customer tells me that they are using 96 DPI. Are there any other settings which could cause this problem? They say it's the same whatever screen resolution they use. Also is there anyway to calculate the rectangle positions such that they will always be write no matter what the users Windows settings are?

    - Lining up external combobox with datagridview column Hi I'm very new to windows forms. I want to use a comboBox to do I kind of 'change all' on some datagridview columns cell values. i.e. The user selects a value in the dropdown and it changes all the cell values in the column it applys too. AutoSizeColumnsMode is Fill so I would like to lock the comboBox to the column that it should apply too. What options do I have?

    - ContextMenuStrip Bug?? VB.NET 2005 SP1... I have two drop down items on a contextmenustip: DropDown1 (Enabled) DropDown2 (Disabled) If i hover over dropdown1 to see the items, and then hover over dropdown2 it will show the items and fire the dropdown event which can crash the app as I expect the dropdown event only to fire if the menu item is enabled. If I don't hover over DropDown1 first it behaves as expected. Is this a bug, or should I be doing something different? Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117721

    - Odd query failure I'm writing a Winforms program in VB (Dot Net 2.0, VS2005) using a SQL Server 2000 database. I'm not sure whether I have a programming bug or a sql problem. I can't get a 'Like' query to work. I have a dll with an xsd. I dragged 2 fields from the Server Explorer onto the xsd. I then created a second query for a Like search. (I've probably used this basic technique hundreds of times on this job but I rarely use the 'Like' command.) This runs perfectly in the Query Builder. The query is as follows: SELECT serial, cnst FROM dbo.micro WHERE (serial LIKE @serial + '%') where 'serial' is the primary key, Char 11. 'cnst' is char 10 - null permitted. I have a data management layer which inherits the xsd. In that I created a pair of functions to fill the default 'micro' table: Public Sub FillMicro() Dim da As New DataManager.dsMicroScheduleTableAdapters.microTableAdapter Try da.Fill(micro) Catch ex As Exception MsgBox("Error Message") End Try End Sub Public Sub FillMicro(ByVal vsJobno As String) Dim da As New DataManager.dsMicroScheduleTableAdapters.microTableAdapter Try da.FillByLikeQuery(micro, vsJobno) Catch ex As Exception MsgBox("Error Message") End Try End Sub So, the first function FillMicro() works. The second, FillMicro(jobno) returns nothing, even though there should be about 1200 rows. I'm not getting any error messages or crashes. It just returns 0 rows. I'll probably find the bug 5 minutes after I post this but for now I'm stumped. Anyone see anything wrong with this? Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117713

    - Can't remove highlighting when cursor is moved When I am editing code in VB.Net 2005 and I move my cursor, the code between where I was and where I now am stays highlighted. Pressing ESC does nothing. In order to continue, I must close the window and begin again, but as soon as I select text, the problem occurs again. I don't have this problem in the VB6 IDE or in Word. I have a second machine that uses the same mouse and keyboard through a switch and I don't have the problem in VB.Net on the second machine, so it's not the mouse or the keyboard. I need to be using the machine that's having the problem. Has anyone seen this before? If so, how do I fix it? Thanks in advance, Carol Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117712

    - Odd sizing problem I'm writing a Winforms app (Dot Net 2.0, VS2005, VB). I have a simple usercontrol with 2 panels on it, one with labels, one with a variety of editing controls, mostly datetimepickers and NumericUpDowns. A number of these usercontrols are then instantiated and put on a form in another project. The problem is this: The panel containing the controls is apparently expanding and increasing the space between controls, both height and width (so that part of it is hidden when the control displays). There is code that changes the width of the usercontrol itself and the position of the panel within the usercontrol, but no code whatever to change the width of the panel or height of anything. Autosize for the panel is False. What could I be forgetting? Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117702

    - Custom form with its own designer / OnPaintAdornments (VS2008) Hi everybody, I have a form (inherits from Form) that has its proprietary title bar and and a footer section. I'd like to prevent the user from placing any control in those areas. That is, I'd like to define a deviating area on which controls may be placed. If i.e. a TableLayoutPanel is placed on the form and the Dock-property is set to "Fill", this needs to be the area that I define. I was assuming that it'd be sufficient to create a Designer that (just as with other controls) utilizes OnPaintAdornments to define/restrict the area where controls can be dropped. However, my designer is simply being ignored - none of the events there are being fired!? The scenario roughly looks like the following: --- 8< --- <ToolboxBitmap(GetType(Form)), Designer(GetType(My_Form_Designer))> _ Public Class MyForm Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form '... End Class Public Class My_Form_Designer Inherits ParentControlDesigner '... Protected Overrides Sub OnPaintAdornments( _ ByVal pe As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) MyBase.OnPaintAdornments(pe) '... End Sub End Class --- 8< --- The above designer's code should react if I add a messagebox-line and create a new form MyForm in a project. Unfortunately, nothing happens at all (no matter where I place a messagebox). Hence, is there any additional things one needs to implement in order to create a forms-designer? Any other base-designer I need to use or interfaces I would need to implement? Also, why would the behaviour of a forms-designer differ from that of other controls? I found many references on the web that were geared at control designers, but none of them explicitly addressed forms ...

    - Equivalency to TransparencyKey in WPF? When using a windows forms approach I can accomplish my goal - a portion of a window completely transparent so that it appears as though there is a "hole" in the application - I can do so in the following manner: 1 - Create Window, put Panel control on Window 2 - Set Window's TransparencyKey property to Pink 3 - Set Panel's background color to Pink This creates a see-through, "screen capture"-like look. There is, however, no TransparencyKey property on a WPF window. Is it possible to do this sort of thing in WPF? (I guess I could host a Windows Forms custom UserControl that does such a thing within a WPF window, but that seems a wee bit hoakie) Any advice appreciated!

    - Winform sql server app Hi I am new to sql server and need to build a one-many winform app with visual studio 2008 and sql server backend and need some pointers. I have the following questions; 1. If I create the app by creating a relationship between master and child tables in dataset and then dragging the master table and relation onto a form to auto generate everything, would that be a good enough way to cerate the app? If so, what more can I do to turn it into a robust enough app such as error handling etc? If this is not a good way to cerate app what should I instead do? 2. Is there a good book on the subject of vs2008/vb2008 and sql server 2005 specifically, that will me sufficient advise on how to develop the app?

    - How to get text to fit inside a button Hi, I'm working with Visual Studio C# 2008 Express and I'm having the hardest time trying to get an 8.25f Microsoft Sans Serif font in a 70x18 pixel (width x height) FlatStyle.Popup button. The text just won't center to fit inside the button. The font gets chopped off at the bottom (because it doesn't want to perfectly center itself). Can someone else out there just try this to see what I mean? There's plenty of room in that button to fit that size text and it would save a lot of space in my app as I need several columns of these size buttons. It's just a Windows Forms App compiling to whatever Framework version Express defaults to (the latest, I presume). Thanks for the help! Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117694

    - Interesting layout problem I have a rather interesting layout problem. At the moment I have a FlowLayoutPanel on a tab page. The size of the page may vary with the size of the window. The FlowLayoutPanel itself hosts a variable number of identically sized user controls. Autoscroll of the FLP is True. The idea, of course, is to smoothly fill the FLP horizontally no matter what the width of the FLP. So far, so good. Now I've been asked to change that. The powers that be want a left column of labels to match the individual controls on each of the user controls. (The controls of each usercontrol are arranged vertically.) I.e., if there were several rows of user controls, there would have to be a set of labels for each row. Even more interesting, they should stay parallel with their respective controls, no matter what the position of their row. In other words, they'd have to somehow stay in sync with their respective row while the user was scrolling the FLP up and down. Anyone ever do anything like this? (This is VB 2005.)

    - Storing form size To be user-friendly, I like to store the size and position of a window so that it can be opened in the same place the next time the user starts the app. Ideally, I would simply retrieve this information during the FormClosing event, but if the window is minimized at the time you get the minimized size and not the "restored" size. (The one thing I don't want to do is start the app minimized; it either opens at its last restored size or maximized.) Because of this I record the form's position and size during every Move or Resize event, but that seems clunky. Is there any way to ask (.NET framework method or API call, I don't care) a minimized window what its restored size and position are? Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117681

    - A few quick refresher questions about Windows Services I wrote one Windows Service app under dot net 1.1 about 5 years ago, as part of my web services cert. I've just been told to write a Windows Service program in VB, Dot Net 2.0. (Business as usual :-) So refresh my memory: 1. The installutil program is the only way to install a windows service? 2. It will probably be necessary to make it possible for a non-programmer to change a few settings. So far as I know, what I'll probably have to do is write a separate windows app to edit whatever sort of config file is used. If there's a better way to do this, please let me know. 3. To the best of my knowledge, this service is intended to monitor a directory and ftp any xml file that shows up to another computer. I have never done anything like this either, (I have never done anything with FTP in a Microsoft environment) although the code I've looked at seems simple enough. If there are any examples out there that do approximately that, please point them out. Thanks. Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117659

    - TableLayoutPanel scroll bar issues Hi . I am using a table layout panel with autoscroll = true I found several issues which dont seem to work properly 1. when I have more rows then in view and the vertical scroll bar is added it sometimes also adds the Horizontal scroll bar because it doesnt adjust the width properly and the scrollbar takes up part of the client area. This isnt consistent, sometimes the horizontal appears and sometimes it doesnt . 2. I have noticed something funny . I want to remove and add a control and while doing that I want to maintain the scroll position so I do int prevVal = m_TableLayoutPanel.VerticalScroll.Value; .... ADD AND REMOVE m_TableLayoutPanel.VerticalScroll.Value = prevVal; The funny thing is that if I call athe above line once it doesnt change the VerticalScroll.Value . IF I call it TWICE then the second time it does change the Value. so my code looks like this m_TableLayoutPanel.VerticalScroll.Value = prevVal; m_TableLayoutPanel.VerticalScroll.Value = prevVal; Andy idea why this happens ?????????

    - System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Error creating window handle. Hi All, I am using WinForm and .NET 2.2 framework in my application. My application mainly uses Infragistics WinGrid. I am extending infragistics grid to support some functionality by adding winform's toolstrip control (which intern hosted in a User Control) on Grid Headers. The way I extend this grid is by implementing Infragistic's IUIElementCreationFilter interface. This interface provides two methods, AfterCreateChildElements and BeforeCreateChildElements. The issue that I am facing is, when I load grid, I am getting following error and it kills my application. "System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Error creating window handle". This error occurs only when I set BackColor property of my user control to Transparent. If I do not set BackColor or set it to some color my application just works fine. I checked the number of window handles and also GDI Object count at the time this error is thrown. Window handle count is around 500 and GDI Object count is around 125. Also this error does not occur all the time. In my application I have several modules where I use infragisitcs WinGrid which in tern calls same implementation of IUIElementCreationFilter interface and the code work fine for other modules. I am not able to figure out as to why this issue is occurring sometimes and what is that causing it. During my investigation I found that adding user control with BackColor = Transparent into Grid's control collection invokes OnPaint event handler and which intern calls AfterCreateChildElements method in recursive way. AfterCreateChildElements method is called after an element's ChildElements have been created. The child element's can be repositioned here and/or new element's can be added.

    - Fancy Windows Form I started using Windows Live Mail and really like the main form design. I was wondering if anyone knew what tools were used to develop that kind of form. It is a lot like the new MS Office forms with very customized title bar and buttons. TIA Larry Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117642

    - Protected forms and cell growth Hi, I have a protected form with lots of areas for data entry (comments, goals, etc.). I formatted the cells to wrap but the cell does not resize itself when lots of information is entered. Is it possible to have the cell grow as data is entered?

    - complicated forms design How others have approached having extremely large forms that duplicate database structures. I am currently designing an application with a lot of tables and a lot of controls. Problem is that the forms are very much overloaded and therefore my basic structure is very wrong. I have about 40 database tables, a few forms, multiple tabs on each with moderately complicated layout on each tab. You can imagine the whole design, number of events, and how it ends up. How have others managed this sort of complicated design? Do you break off the database into a separate class, how can you keep this visual? Can you layout a tab on its own visually and then embed in the actual form at runtime. Ta Ken Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117640

    - Changing the Form Default BackColor at Runtime I have a program that have over 10 forms in it. The BackColor for each form defaults to System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control. How can I override or change what that color is? Basically what I would like to do is have different color schemes available to the user without having to program each and forms/controls in the application. How can I build a new color pallete that will override the SystemColors without affecting the base OS color scheme. Thank you. Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117636

    - ObjectDisposedException Hi, I have an invisible button in my form. I have a timer (System.Windows.Forms.Timer) with interval 300 ms. In the timer tick event I check for a certain flag, and if that flag is true, the button becomes visible (After setting the flag's status to false again). The problem is that if the event happened and the button became visible, and then I closed the form, and then reopened it and let the event happen again, then the operation of making the button visible throws an exception of type System.ObjectDisposedException. It looks like when I reopen the form, I already haven't got the button. One could think it's been Garbage Collected, but I'm not sure about that, because the button is part of the form which is reopened (Form f = new Form(); ). Can someone please explain the source of the problem and the solution? Thanks a lot Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117632

    - Trap Play/Pause key from keyboard Is there a way to trap the play/pause key so that windows does *not* open the windows media player when the key is pressed, but instead plays/pauses music in my app (also start my app if not already open). I managed it to get the key notification in my app with installing a keyboard hook but windows media player is opened afterwards anyway. I tried returning one, zero or whatever from the HookCallback function but windows media player still opens. What can I do about it? private static IntPtr HookCallback(int nCode, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam) { if (nCode >= 0 && wParam == (IntPtr)WM_KEYDOWN && lParam.ToInt32() == 1307112) { int vkCode = Marshal.ReadInt32(lParam); //return CallNextHookEx(IntPtr.Zero, 0, wParam, IntPtr.Zero); //return new IntPtr.Zero; return new IntPtr(1); } else { return CallNextHookEx(_hookID, nCode, wParam, lParam); } } Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117631

    - Click Once FORCES signing We have a couple of apps on our intranet, needing only to be published within our network, so we don't need signing On one developer's computer, every time we try to Publish the application, (even though we UNCHECK the signing checkbox in the Signing tab), it automatically checks it again, and then, because it's not signed, will throw an error and not publish. Any ideas on where there might be a setting so I can stop this behavior? Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117629

    - Strange modal form behaviour Hi guys, it's a little problem but I'm quite stuck with it. I'm developing a Windows Forms application with VS2008 and I have noticed this little graphical bug. I have a main form with ShowInTaskbar=true. I open a modal form (with showdialog()) with ShowInTaskbar=false. Then, just sometimes, when a use the "Show Desktop" icon or I change the active program when I go back to mine I can see just the main form (the modal form is somehow hidden) and obviously it's locked, I can't interact with it. Neither I can see use the modal form because it's hidden, so I have to change the active program with ALT+TAB and the go back to my application. With this move I can get back my modal form and can continue working. How can I avoid this and keep my modal form "hidden" from the taskbar? Thank you in advance for your help cold Tag: Design view NOT displaying controls Tag: 117628

Editing an existing windows application, in Visual Studio 2005, which has
several panels. Text boxes & labels, associated with some of the panels,
only show up as outlines in the Design view. Their actual text is not
displayed. What could cause this?

One thing that these controls have in common, is that their parent panel, is
not the first panel. Those labels that refer to the primary panel, do show
up in the Design view.

I have found that sometimes when this happens, selecting the panel in
the Properties window and then clicking on the panel in the design
window will make its children display.

I had that on occasions in VS2005, it doesn't (seem) to happen in VS2008.
Does closing/restarting VS help?

Thanks guys,

A co-worker figured it out: I was trying to bring the panel w. the 'hidden'
controls to the front. The trick is to send the other panels to the back!
