    - how to set application-wide keyboard handling? hi all i have a 2 winforms in my app. one is the owner of the other. i capture keyboard events for each form. can i instead tell the entire 'app' to respond to certain keys. and not have to tell each form to handle the keys. i actually have over 20 forms, so handling keys for each form would be a lot of dirty work. assaf Tag: Disable focus on webBrowser control Tag: 79047

    - Building a windows forms "spy" Hi I am about to develop a program that scans the text properties of a number of text boxes in another program and copies them to the clipboard. The software that I want to scan has no function for printing on a printer, and therefore I am building this extension to enable simple printouts. The program I am scanning is built in C#. My program should be built in C# too. I do not know the names of the textboxes, so to begin with I need to be able to get the names of the textboxes to scan. These names will probably not change, so when have gotten these names I can add them to the code. I know the name of the form (or at least the caption of the form) that the textboxes are in. I have no need for changing the properties of the textboxes either. Does anyone have some simple code that can help me getting started?

    - Question about printing Dear all, I'm new in printing in VB.NET 2003 and want to print a run-time generated form which contains line drawing shape and text. I found that PrintDocument is good for printing by code but not for entire form. Actually it is not a kind of report but label sticker so I don't think Crystal Report is my choice. Does anybody have idea on my issue? Thanks for your attention and kindly help! Regards, James Wong Tag: Disable focus on webBrowser control Tag: 79030

    - Help!!! Visual Inheritance...... Hi, I want to know if I'm doing something wrong. I'm inheriting frmChild from frmBase in Project1. frmBase is referring to its MdiParent in a function call from Form_Resize event. When I try to open the designer for the frmChild it throws an exception for this, saying "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Why is this happening. Does that mean I cannot use any runtime instanciation in a base form? Or do I have to turn something off? Why is the code executing in the designer. If I give a message box in the base form, it pops up when I am loading the Child form!!!!! Any help is appreciated.. Thanx, Debi Tag: Disable focus on webBrowser control Tag: 79021

    - Why does transparency only work sometimes with 32 bit color depth? I have an application that uses transparency. My video settings are 1600x1200 and 32 bit color. I can make the main dialog transparent but other controls and child windows are not transparent, I see the colored box around my control. If I switch my color depth to 16 bit everything is fine. Why does it work on some forms but not others. I can even make my main form transparent and drop a custom control that has transparency set. The main form goes transparent but the custom control has a blue (my transparent color) box around it. Again if I switch color depth it works fine. I heard that somewhere in the .NET documentation it says transparency is not supported under 32 bit color. I have a hard time believing this. Are there any computers that don't come in 32 bit color mode anymore? Jim Tag: Disable focus on webBrowser control Tag: 79008

    - Memory leak - Forms with Owners I have created a project that has two forms. Form1 has a button which runs the following code: private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Form2 f = new Form2(); f.Owner = this; f.Show(); f.Close(); this.RemoveOwnedForm(f); f.Dispose(); f = null; } Using .NET Memory Profiler (http://www.scitech.se/memprofiler) I am able to see that Form2 is not disposed. This seems to be a huge issue. Has anyone experienced this problem? Is there a workaround? Have I done something incorrectly? If I remove the line where the Owner is set, there is no problem with Form2 being Disposed. Thanks, Nate Tag: Disable focus on webBrowser control Tag: 79001

    - exceptionless exceptions in masked edit box Hello, I encountered something to that, even though I have worked it out for myself, I thought should be passed on. While I was debugging an event handler (Validating) for a masked edit box, I suddenly found myself 'back in the UI'. The line of code that precipitated the surprise exit from the event handler to the UI happened to generate a null reference exception, but no detectable exception was reported (either in the IDE debug run or in the released program). The line of code was not in a try/catch block (there are others in the handler and, when appropriate, they are triggered). It was the true source of the bug being worked on, but it was not detected until much later in the code because as far as anyone knew the event handler validated the control quite nicely. I figure that whatever 'hidden' code calls the event handler does so from within its own try/catch block. When it encounterd this particular exception, it simply returned execution to the 'UI thread' (no explicit multi-threading was used in the program, that descriptive phrase was intended to limit verbiage (looks like I failed there)). I don't know if this is just an issue with the masked edit box or with more controls. Thought you'd like to know, mklapp Tag: Disable focus on webBrowser control Tag: 78983

    - Global connection strings? I have a question regarding connection strings. Most of my apps have multiple forms each of which stores a connection string back to (generally speaking) the same SQL db (i.e. it's set up the way that VS.Net appears to work by default).

    - drawing text, autosizing textbox, flickering ... Hi (VS.Net 2003 + SP), how to make anchored textboxes, toolbars or statusbar not to flicker on resize? And one more thing, I wanted to make multiline textbox to autosize in height and width. Since autosizing is done only in singleline, I used prefferedSize= Graphics.MeasureString(control.text, control.font) to get required size. But after resizing textbox, I saw that it is too wide and height is less than required. So I tried to paint text myself. Then I saw, that everyline of that text is painted differently (using standart font, same text on every line), changing text to Arial 9pt, helped a bit. But anyway it is too wide and height is less than required for textbox. How to implement full autosizing for textbox? Tag: Disable focus on webBrowser control Tag: 78951

    - strange problem with binding collection object to listbox control I have a business object with two public properties - "OrganizationID" and "OrganizationName". Pretty typical. We will call it Organization. And I have a collection object which is an arraylist that stores a collection of the business object described above. Let's call it Organizations I have a lstbox control. So I bind it Organizations to the listbox control. lstSelectedOrgs.DataSource = null; lstSelectedOrgs.ValueMember = "OrganizationID"; lstSelectedOrgs.DisplayMember = "OrganizationName"; lstSelectedOrgs.DataSource = Organizations; I initially populate the control. Then I have a way to remove an item. And then I bind it again. At some point, all of a sudden, what shows up in the list box looks like this. MyNameSpace.Organization Tag: Disable focus on webBrowser control Tag: 78895

    - Beta Readers Wanted - Whidbey C# - (O'Reilly Author) This is a one time request for beta-readers for a new book I'm working on. ************* I'm writing a new book on Visual C# 2.0 - target audience is C# 1.x programmers looking to move up to 2.0 (code-name Whidbey). The ideal candidates have been programming in Visual C# 1.x for a while, are familiar with and comfortable with all the language fundamentals, delegates, creating windows and web applications and so forth and are ready to learn what is new in Visual Studio and C# 2.0, as well as highlights of what is new in creating Windows and Web Applications. I will post the chapters after I've written them but before they've been edited or tech-reviewed. Your job will be to provide guidance and advice as to how helpful the chapter is, what is missing, what could be clearer, etc. You can expect to read (and respond to) about 40-50 pages per week through Thanksgiving; starting next week. Ideally, you'll have the Visual Studio 2.0 Beta installed on a computer and will be able to try the exercises, though this is not strictly required. There is no financial compensation (though active participants will receive a copy of the book when it is published, and an acknowledgement in the book itself). You will need to sign a Non-disclosure agreement and you'll need to join a forum on Delphi (membership is free). If you are interested, please send me email (jliberty@LibertyAssociates.com) with your name, email, C# experience, etc. Thank you.

    - Logic Help I need some help with user names and passwords (five users and one password for each user). I have two txtboxes (txtName, txtPassword). If a user clicks enter and both are empty then a message is displayed, "enter user name." If just the name is entered the message "enter password." If wrong name and right password then message "re-enter name." If right name and wrong password message "valid name, wrong password." I cant figure this out, can someone help me please? The names are tied to a passwords, for example a user might have 123 for a name and a password of 456 Tag: Disable focus on webBrowser control Tag: 78879

    - scrolling a user control Hi, I have created a user control which I then add standard controls to prgramatically i.e. picture box, text box etc. I'm just wondering if it is possible to scroll to given position in the scrollable region? So lets say the control has a height of 300 pixels and the scrollable height is 1000 pixels then I'd like to be able to just make pixel 500 appear in the top left of the controls visible area. If this isn't possible what alternatives are there for scrolling a user control programatically. Many thanks in advance for any answers. Best Regards, Steve.

Hi all,

I dynamically load a webBrowser control on a windows form control. Every
time I load the webBrowser control the focus is set to the webBrowser control.

How can the focus be set to another control on the form, after the
webBrowser control is loaded?

Thanks Edi
