Move two Forms simultaneously
HI!
My first post, so Hello there!
I=B4m trying to develop an apllication with docked forms, like in
Winamp. If a child forms is docked to the parent form it should move
and resize like the parent form does.
I=B4ll give you an simple example of how I tried to archive this:
Form parent =3D new Form();
parent.TopMost =3D true;
Form child =3D new Fom();
parent.Move +=3D new EventHandler(parent_move);
void parent_move(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
child.Bounds =3D parent .Bounds;
}
This example is not very usefull, because the parent form will
completly cover the child, but it shows my problem: The child form
moves slowlyer. Moving the parent form will cause the child form to
move, but with a delay of time. I want them to move as if they where
ONE form!!!
I was seraching for days now, tried serveral Win32 Api calls regarding
moving but I didn=B4t get it!
Can anyone help me? Tag: GUI Designer Tool Tag: 106985
Getting clean layout in forms
Hi;
Is there a url somewhere that explains the best way to use the layout
controls to provide the best layout. I want out windows to still look good
when we add Japanese & German resources - which tend to make the text a lot
shorter / longer.

Form control re-build when entering the MDI container
We have a huge activex control embedded in a Form window. When the Form
has its MDIParent set to a mdi container, the window handle of the Form
is replaced by a new one, and our control has to be InPlaceActivate
twice plus one InPlaceDeactivate( The window handles of the standard
controls within are also replaced ), This causes side effects to our
activex control. The activation involves lengthy initializations such
as downloading data from internet and heavy rendering work, so it is
too expensive to do InPlaceActivate frequently. And our control has
some operations depending on the parent window. Is there any workaround
to avoid frequent inplace activation and window re-building, for
example, creating the mdi child form directly from the MDI container? Tag: GUI Designer Tool Tag: 106976
DataGridView RowValidation Event
I have a master/detail form that uses a DataGridView to show child
records. I am using the RowValidating event to validate correctly
entered data. As part of the validation process, I set the Cancel
property of the event to true when bad data is present. This works
fine as long as the master binding source remains on the current
record.
If the active master row changes, while a cell in the data grid is in
edit mode, the form freezes. It does not redraw and stops responding
to all events. The grid will still show the pencil in the row header.
This only occurs if a the DataGridView looses focus while a cell is in
edit mode. If no cells were currently being edited when the grid
looses focus everything is fine. Tag: GUI Designer Tool Tag: 106974
Figure out how much text will fit into the form title
I'm assigning a description to my form title, such as:
strDesc = "This is a test if the description will fit in"
frmTest.Text = "(" & strDesc & ")"
If strDesc doesn't fit in the title, I don't see the closing paranthesis:
("This is a test if the description will fi..."
I would like to be able to determine if strDesc will fit into the space
provided, and if it won't fit, I would like display only as much as would fit:
("This is a test if the description will f...)"
How can I do this? Thank you! Tag: GUI Designer Tool Tag: 106969
DataGridView performance
Hi there,
Has anyone had any serious performance problems with this class. A couple of
hundred rows of data with 4 columns (everything loaded on-the-fly with no DB
involved, all simple strings, 90% under 10 characters, the rest as high as
500-600 characters, wrapping turned on) literally takes almost 3 minutes to
load on my 2.4 MHz machine (1 GB RAM with plenty to spare). Wrapping may be
the bottleneck (performance improves when I turn it off) but other than
using virtual mode, can anyone suggest a way to speed things up (or a
reliable 3rd-party control which is really something I wanted to avoid).
Thanks. Tag: GUI Designer Tool Tag: 106963

drag and drop issue...
If I use software like OpenOffice and try to drag text I could notice that
1. when I drag inside the document I'm moving the text
2. when I drag outside the document I'm copying the text
Yet it all looks like one smooth operation. With correct cursor feedback
(the little + marker next to the icon).
My problem is, once I call DoDragDrop() it's blocking, I have no other
opportunities to change the AllowedEffect to only Copy if I drag over, say,
an other control
And QueryContinueDrag:
1. don't allow me to change the efect
2. don't inform me about the current drop target
How could I do that?

wether it's me or not)) Tag: GUI Designer Tool Tag: 106955

if (CurrentIndex != LastIndex && CurrentIndex > 0)
{
LastIndex = CurrentIndex;
//System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
tip.ReshowDelay = 5000; // DOES NOTHING
tip.InitialDelay = 2000; //DOES NOTHING
tip.IsBalloon = true;
DataRowView drv =
(DataRowView)(DisabledUserList.Items[CurrentIndex]);
tip.SetToolTip(DisabledUserList,
drv["Path"].ToString());

Clipboard Problems with HTML
I'm trying to intercept the clipboard so that I can fix Word's disasterous
HTML that comes through before pasting it into a text box. I just pull the
fragment information from the result that comes back when you ask for the
Text that's of type HTML.
Everything works just great, except when there are accents:
- è - è - ê - ë - à - â - ô - ö - î - ' - ? - ! - ;
If you paste that into word and then paste it into a text box and intercept
the clipboard I get all kinds of weird characters none of which are those
above. If I leave it alone of course it works just fine. It looks like the
Clipboard in .NET is not handling unicode right or something. I'm at a loss.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can get the clipboard of HTML code correctly?

using delegates and updating windows forms
Hi all:
I have been playing around trying to get a progress bar to work. So far, I
have the progress bar updating visibly, but the rest of the dialog now looks
crappy. The rest of the dialog window badly needs a repaint, but it doesn't
get one until the routine finishes that the progress-bar is attached to.
I think part of the problem is that I don't understand the syntax for using
delegates and threads completely. Can any one point me to a web-article on
this topic, or perhaps tell me what I am doing wrong? I thought I had worked
the progress-bar more or less according to the VS2005 docs.
Example code follows
========================
' blah blah.... initial code
Delegate Sub UIDelegate()
Sub updateUI()
Me.ProgressBar1.Increment(1)
End Sub
Private Sub CreateBigCatalog() ' my time consuming routine
' Setup progress bar
Dim newDelegate As New UIDelegate(AddressOf updateUI)
Me.ProgressBar1.Value = 0
Me.ProgressBar1.Maximum = 1000
For Each title As DataRow In MyTitleTable.Rows
ProgressBar1.Invoke(newDelegate)
' ..... blah blah more time consuming code ....
next title
end sub

What should I have done differently?

Multi-window application example
Hi,
I am porting an application from Windows Mobile to the desktop. This is my
first .NET desktop forms application (my experience is in ASP.NET). I am
looking for a sample application that employs a solid programming model for
managing a multi-window application. This application has a lot of
dynamiccally built forms and opens and closes forms as necessary and can
have multiple forms open at once. Its very simple on Windows Mobile because
all forms are always maximized and you can layer forms on top of each other
with no problem.
Thanks for any assistance.

Layered architecture
Hi.
It is often maintained, that a layered architecture is something one should
consider in any nontrivial application (see e.g. Data Binding with Windows
Forms by Brian Noyces).
I have a VS2005 solution with 3 projects in it:
1. Adveita.UI - a WinForms executable for user interaction
2. Adveita.BLL - a library project for buisiness logic
3. Adveita.DAL - also a library project, for data access
In order to achieve a full decoupling between the UI and DAL layers, I find
myself writing wrapper classes in the BLL layer to present tables, columns
etc. to the UI layer. Also, I am writing a lot of code to bind controls like
text boxes to data and the like. I think, that the designer should be doing
this for me in most cases and I that I am perhaps doing something basically
wrong here. On the other hand, examples in books and downloadable samples
are rather simplistic and hardly tackle questions like these.
Can anyone comment on this, point out to me samples or articles addressing
these questions.

Custom Form working at runtime but cannot be loaded in designer
Hi,
I have a custom form that works fine when I debug it or run it in release
mode but cannot be loaded in the designer... Actually, it can be loaded in
the designer when no control is on it, but the resizing tool (in the
designer) is offset both horizontally and vertically and when I put a
control on it, as soon as I save, the designer throws an exception (but
cannot be reproduced everytime) and the form cannot be loaded anymore unless
I remove all the controls from it... but the major problem is the offset of
the designer... also, I'm unable to move the newly added controls on my
form... I can resize them when I add them and after that cannot even select
them... this behavior happens when I want to use the custom form (inherit
forms of my projects from this form)...
When I want to see the form in the designer (the CustomForm itself inherited
from system.windows.forms.form) I receive and exception too (here it is)

Exception handling, Retry, Resume Next
There are situations where you want to retry/rerun the same code again (if
user wants) for unlimited times for a particular exception thrown. For
example in situations like there's no CD in the drive or some file is locked
by another process you want to display message dialog to user with "Retry"
and "Cancel" buttons (As Windows shows "Retry" option if no CD in drive) and
if user clicks "Retry" you want to run the same code again that thrown the
exception.
How can I construct the same "Retry" exception handling behaviour in C#.
Secondly, how can I construct VB6's "OnError ResumeNext" equivalent in C#
for particular exception handling. "OnError ResumeNext" actually resumes with
next instruction/code if a line/code produces an exception. For example in a
loop if something raised exception I want loop to continue with next
iteration.
How can the VB6's "OnError ResumeNext" constructed in C#.

Control sizing bug for UserControl hosted in IE7
I have reported this bug on Microsoft Connect but have seen no activity
so I thought I would post here and see if anyone else has been affected
by this.
I have written a UserControl and successfully hosted it in a web page.
When this web page is displayed in IE7 the control gets shrunk to half
size whenever you open additional tabs to display other pages.
I think this happens because the pages are rendered at half size in the
tabbed pages view.
Has anyone else seen this? If so and you want some action, go vote on or
validated my bug report on Microsoft Connect.

Automatically Wrap Text in Label
I have the following scenario: I have a TableLayoutPanel in my form. In
one of the cells I want to place a Label control to display some text.
The label might have just a few words. It might have a paragraph. I
would like the label text to automatically wrap inside the cell in the
TableLayoutPanel. If the row in the TLP is not large enough, it should
automatically grow so that it can display all of the text.
1) I have tried setting Dock:Fill and AutoSize:False on the label. This
will cause the text in the label to wrap, but it will not grow past the
size of the cell in the TLP. If I set the row in the TLP to be
AutoSize, the whole row becomes hidden.
2) If I set it to Dock:Top, AutoSize:False, and set the TLP row to
AutoSize, this works, as long as the height of the Label is set to a
value sufficient enough to hold all of the text. But if the height is
not big enough, the text gets cut off.
In case 2 above, it seems like I am on the right track, and that it
would work if I had some way of dynamically making the Label taller
depending on whether it still needed to wrap the text.
Any suggestions for me on how I can accomplish this? Tag: GUI Designer Tool Tag: 106890

Switching localizable forms language messes up design
I have a C# windows forms project that was designed in Visual Studio
2003. It works great. I have recently decided to upgrade to VS 2005
and .Net 2.0. I opened the project in VS 2005 and it converted it
fine. I fixed the odd obsolete line of code and it compiles and runs.
The problem is that my previous design was done with the systems
display set to Large Fonts. My new dev system is set to Samll Fonts
because this is the default setting in windows. These means I have had
to go into each form and modify it slightly but that is fine.
Now, my program is setup to be localizable between english(default) and
french. Whenever I need to make a change to a french version of a form
I just change the language in the form properties to french and boom,
there it is. Now this worked perfectly in VS 2003 but in VS 2005 when
I try to change the language back to english(default) after making a
mod to the french version, my whole form gets screwed up. The
background colour of the form and almost all of the text box properties
get reset to the windows default settings. The biggest problem about
this is that it is a big form with over a hundred labels and text boxes
so to have to change it back all of the time can be very time
consuming.
I have tried everything imaginable to get it to stop doing this. I
even removed the french resx file, and switched my form to not
localizable, then I switch it back and re-create the french resx file,
and whenever I go back to english, it is all messed up.
Does anyone have a clue as to what is wrong? Unfortunately I cannot
post the code for the form as it is secret in nature.
Thanks in advance,

How to know if the "Active" application changes?
Hi All.
Is there any way to be notified when the "Active" application
changes? By active I mean which application currently has
mouse and keyboard focus.
I need to be able to know when my application becomes active
and when it becomes non-active. (i.e.: via minimization, or
alt-tab, etc)
Any ideas? Tag: GUI Designer Tool Tag: 106877
MDI windows list not updating
I have an MDI form and multiple MDI Children. I used MdiWindowListItem to
display the list of my MDI Children in my MDI's Windows menu. If I change the
Text property of a Child window (Form's caption) the menu that shows the list
of the Childern doesn't update ; it shows the old title. I tried to set the
Child's MDIParent property to null and then back to my MDI form but it's time
consuming and it's flickering. Any (other) ideas?
Thanks allot.

Zorder and splash screen
Hi,
I have a form which is a splash screen. A static method is used by my
main program startup to show the form, which creates the form on a
seperate thread and shows it using Application.Run( splash ).
The problem is when my main form shows and the splash hides, the main
form ends up behind any other window display (such as my web browser or
explorer windows).
I've read this is because the first message pump that ends causes the
application to deactivate, but I haven't been able to find a solution
to this.
I had replaced Application.Run with this loop:
while ( !shouldClose ) {
Application.DoEvents();
}
Where should close is a boolean that indicates if the form should close
or not. (Which is set by another static method called from the main
thread).

"Attempted to read or write protected memory" since 10 days...
Hi,
Since 10 days (the first time was the 10th of november) I have some weird
exception happening in an application here:
All (except 1 of the total of 5) users had this error now 1 of 2 times
during the last 10 days. It happens mostly during startup or closing of the
application, but sometimes just in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't point
to anyting special. I don't get a clue...
It's a Windows Forms VB.NET 2005 application. I roll out updates regulary
(once a week), but nothing special has changed in the last update before the
first error.
Does anybody has any idea why this happens?
Thansk a lot in advance, any help will be really appreciated,
Pieter

Serializing Controls in .NET 2.0
How come it's no more possible to serialize winforms controls?
(As I recall, it was possible in the 1.1 version of the .NET framework)
Is there a solution to this problem?

How to set font from PrivateFontCollention as default font for a f
Hi all,
I have a font loaded in a PrivateFontColeccion and want to apply it to every
control and form that compose my app.
I don't want to have to apply it one control by one so I was wondering if
there is a way to make my PrivateFontCollection as the primary or default
font container so when the app runs the fonts specified as properties in my
form controls are searched in my PrivateFontCollection before in the system
installed fonts.
Any ideas?
Thanks! Tag: GUI Designer Tool Tag: 106860

Help with double-click and drag-drop
Hi: I posted this 3 days ago in another V-Studio2005 group and got no
replies. There seems to be better response to requests in this group. Hope
nobody minds me trying for an answer here.
I have windows forms .Net 2 app. in which I was using double click to
activate a form. I also wanted to be able to drag items out of one form onto
another. I got both working separately, but I can't seem to get them to work
together. The mousedown event is trapped by my drag-drop routine. This
prevents double-click. As soon as mousedown fires, the app thinks it is
dragging out. The datagridview control will not accept to have both
double-=click and drag-drop both as possible user-actions.
Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and have a great day!

Can Borderless forms have a context menu in the start bar?
Hi
I'm currently developping a skinnable form by using a borderless form
(Form.FormBorderStyle=None). Is it the right way to go in the first place?
if it is. Assuming that when there is no border to the form there is no
context menu when you right-click on your form in the start bar too (the one
with Restore, Move, Size, Close et al.)... How can I make this context menu
work again? Is there a way to tell the form to make it work even if the form
is borderless?
thanks
