    - pass a class as argument The code below gets data from my webservice and load the data into the array called myarray using a class called DataClass. I would like to use the same process (LoaData) to bind differrent comboboxes by using different classes. How can I modify the LoadData so that I can pass in the class -- private void LoadData(System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox cmbo, ??). Any sample of code would be very helpfull. Thanks. private void LoadData(System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox cmbo) { WebService.GetData mydata = new WS.GetData(); DataSet Ds = mydata.GetInfo(); foreach (DataRow Dr in Ds.Tables["StateList"].Rows) { MyArray.Add(new DataClass(Convert.ToInt32(Dr["ID"].ToString()), Dr["Desc"].ToString())); } cmbo.DisplayMember = "Desc"; cmbo.ValueMember = "Id"; cmbo.DataSource = MyArray; Tag: DockStyle problem Tag: 63076

    - How to prevent the drawing of multiple lines on form? Dear colleagues, I refer to your help with specific graphic problem. It is necessary to create a viewfinder in graphic application. It seems that the algorithm is simple: just draw lines in specific position in according to value of some controls, track bars, for example. Next read the track bars value to find the coordinates of lines cross. It works, but I can not get real cross because the background image is being deface by lines images. The drawing procedures looks like the next: ' Picture box picbView and two track bars (trckHoriz, trckVer) are created on form. #Region "Form level variables" Dim hwnd As New IntPtr ' handler of picturebox's window Dim g As Graphics ' graphic object for drawing lines #End Region 'Form level variables Sub InitiateFormData() ' call this procedure at Sub New, located at Windows Form Designer generated code ' maximums of appropriate trackbars are equal to picture box size trckHoriz.Maximum = picbView.Width trckVert.Maximum = picbView.Height hwnd = picbView.Handle ' assigned handler g = Graphics.FromHwnd(hwnd) ' created graphic object ' get path to image and load it as picture box's background Dim strImageFile As String = Application.ExecutablePath.Substring(0, _ Application.ExecutablePath.LastIndexOf ("\") + 1) & "Viewfinder.jpg" picbView.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile (strImageFile) End Sub Sub DrawViewfinder() ' draw viewfinder's lines ' TODO - how to prevent the drawing of multiple lines ???? Dim p_en As New Pen(Color.Yellow) g.DrawLine(p_en, 0, trckVert.Value, picbView.Width, trckVert.Value) ' horizontal line g.DrawLine(p_en, trckHoriz.Value, 0, trckHoriz.Value, picbView.Height) ' vertical line ' and we get the images of all lines ever been drawn :<<< End Sub Private Sub trckHoriz_Scroll(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles trckHoriz.Scroll DrawViewfinder() End Sub Private Sub trckVert_Scroll(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles trckVert.Scroll DrawViewfinder() End Sub I will be highly grateful for advices how to resolve this problem.

    - Fade from one Panel to the other I am building an application that will fade one panel to another panel. Both panels will have picture boxes in them (thumbnails). This is what I have tried: private void fade(System.Windows.Forms.Panel fP){ for (int i = 255; i >= 0;i--){ System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10); fP.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(i, 255,255,255); System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents(); } } There is another Panel under the one being passed in to the function. It has two problems. One it flickers like crazy, and two (now this I don't get at all) it does not become transparent at all. It just fades the form color. (At the time of testing the top panel had no images in it, but the bottom one did) Am I doing something wrong? (Well of course you are idiot) But what? I don't know much about GDI, but is it possible to take a image of my control that is fading out and replace the control with that image and fade the image out? Would that be any better. (Thinking out loud). If you could, please point me in the right direction. If you had sample code to do this I would erect a large alter in your name and sacrifice many chipmunks in for you. (OK, for those of you with no sense of humor, I'm joking). keywords: dotnet c# fade panel control Tag: DockStyle problem Tag: 63070

    - Panel Fill with Nested Controls Greetings Everyone. I have been trying to fill a panel control with linear gradient. (Isn't everyone?) This control contains a number of label controls. I placed code in the panel's paint event handler. While this does fill my panel as expected it also performs the fill on each of the label controls resulting in a rather tacky display of gradient excess. I have confirmed that, to no surprise, the paint routine is being called once for the panel and again for each constituent control. It also appears as though the panel itself is the sender of all the events and each of the labels' dimensions are being sent in the ClipRectangle property. I am not sure I understand the reasoning behind this. Can someone explain that? More importantly, would someone mind sharing their clever solution to getting only the panel to paint? (I've considered comparing label locations to ClipRectangle X and Y but that seems clumsy.) TIA - Eric Tag: DockStyle problem Tag: 63027

    - Need Expert Opinion on design issue Greetings all, Ok, I've developed a .NET application that integrates into the Windows shell as a namespace extension (think of Scheduled Tasks and you'll get the general look of my app). Since I've written it in C# using the 1.1 framework, I decided to support the XP look by calling Application.EnableVisual Styles(), however here lies the problem: It appears that calling EnableVisualStyles() works as long as its' called from an executable. Unfortunately, in my case, I have no starting executable. Technically the executable is Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) which calls into my DLL through various interfaces. To make a long story short, calling EnableVisualStyles within my DLL eventually leads to a crash of the Windows exlplorer interface, so I'm left with one option to get the XP style interface, and this is where I need expert opinions: If I include a manifest named explorer.exe.manifest and install it into the windows directory, everthing works great. My windows inherit the XP interface, however so does other programs that are tied to Windows explorer, such as scheduled tasks. So my question is, should I install a manfiest that potentially alters other programs interface just to get my app to have the XP style interface, or should I just leave it alone? The reason I ask this is that this is going to be a commercial application, and I want it to look professional (i.e. when run on XP, one would expect it to have an XP interface), but am I crossing the line by installing a file that could have affects on other apps that are not mine? All opinons are welcome! Neil Axe Exalien Software Tag: DockStyle problem Tag: 63024

    - Question on Clearing a multi-line text box Hi I got a problem. I have just moved over for a bit from BCB to VC++.NET 2003 and am struggling with just one function, namely the TextBox->Lines->Clear(). It says it takes an array as the first argument, the index to start at for the next and finally the total number of items to clear. So I try this: tbOutput->Lines->Clear(tbOutput->Lines,0,tbOutput->Lines- >Count); as I Suspected this does not work. How do I clear a Text Box (Using multi-line property == true, so its like a memo).

    - Listview control background image Hi, I am using a System.Windows.Forms.ListView control and would like to put an image in the background. Although the BackgroundImage property is not exposed in the IDE Properties window for the control, I figured that the Listview, being descended from the Control class, should implement the property, so I used the following code in my form's constructor (after InitializeComponent(), of course): listView1.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile (@"C:\test2.bmp"); But nothing happens. I also tried this: listView1.BackgroundImage = new Bitmap(@"C:\test2.bmp"); But the background is still blank. Any ideas? Thanks, MP Tag: DockStyle problem Tag: 63011

    - Running DTS packages I have some code that I stole from MSKB article 321525 that I'm using in a windows forms app (framework 1.1, VS 2003) that I'm having some problems with. Basically, if I try using it on a machine that only has the framework installed, then it fails intermittently. If I use the code on a machine that has had SQL installed onto it, then it works perfectly. Running a file monitor over the machine that works shows that it is actually using the dts files (e.g. dtspump.dll) installed under c:\program files\microsoft sql server instead of just using framework files. I'm thinking that next week I need to contact MS to say "What's wrong with 321525?" but, in the meantime.... Could someone confirm that I really shouldn't need the locally installed dts files and Has anyone else had the same kind of problem with 321525?

    - TabPage issue I have a custom TabPage class the I add to a standard TabControl. I have a NumericUpDown control on the TabPage whose Validating event is tied to a method in the TabPage class. If the user types in a value, does not use the up/down arrows to change the value, I validate the Text property in the Validating event. If it is not valid I display a MessageBox then set the cancel property of the CancelEventArgs to true, then call the NumericUpDown control Focus method, then select the text of the NumericUpDown control. This all works great if the user uses the Tab key to move to the next control, or clicks another control on the current TabPage. The problem arises when the user after typing in what is an invalid value into the NumericUpDown control then clicks another Tab in the TabControl. Here is what happens. 1. Enter invalid data on the current TabPage 2. Click another TabPage on the TabControl 3. The MessageBox is displayed twice with the originating TabPage visible. 4. The TabControl switches to the TabPage that was clicked 5. The MessageBox is displayed again. (Third time) 6. Anything after this causes the MessageBox to display and I can not leave the TabPage that was clicked. Can any one provide any ideas as to what is happening?

    - Forms that won't Dispose Hi MS & All others, I've been investigating a memory leak in my application which is proving particularly hard to fix, and I came across something very unusual. I've determined that the leak is caused by a particular form that won't "dispose". I'm using a program called ".NET Memory Profiler" to check to see whether there's still an instance of my form even after it has been closed & disposed. After doing some testing, I've now come across a very unusual situation: In a simple little app, I can load Form2 from within Form1, display it using ShowDialog, close it (and then call Dispose on it from within Form1) and the memory profiler reports that there are 0 instances of Form2 currently running, just as it should be. However, if I have a context menu on Form2 and I display it (handling Form2's click event and showing the menu from code), and then close & dispose it, it remains in the list of instantiated classes. I have tried this several times, and was able to end up with a list of over a dozen instances of Form2 despite the fact they had been closed and disposed of. This ONLY ever happened if I'd clicked to show the Context-Menu, if I didn't do that then Form2 would happily Dispose. Is there some quirk where extra code is needed to dispose of a Form after a Context Menu has been shown? I tested this with a MainMenu instead and it Disposed just fine. Could this be a memory leak in the Framework? I'll be happy to post a sample project demonstrating it, but in order to see the problem you will require some sort of profiling tool capable of examining the Heap. I'm using VS.NET 2003, Framework 1.1, WinXP Pro. Many thanks, Alex Clark Tag: DockStyle problem Tag: 62993

    - [ANN] XML-based Windows Forms Development... Xamlon v0.6 (beta 2) has been released and can be downloaded from: http://www.xamlon.com/ Xamlon allows for XML-based Windows.Forms development and follows the syntax of "Longhorn's" new "Avalon" Markup Language, XAML. Xamlon also provides "compatibility wrapper" objects around Windows.Forms controls that mirror the naming convention used in Avalon's XAML. There are several key benefits of using Xamlon today: a.. Application development becomes much more simple and efficient. Xalmon provides a very clean separation between presentation and application logic. b.. Xamlon application run on all of today's .NET Framework 1.1 Windows operating systems: Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Server 2003. c.. Xamlon provides a much simpler migration path to Microsoft's next-generation presentation layer in "Longhorn", XAML. We hope you enjoy trying this beta.

I also noticed that neither does the KeyDown event on the textbox. Where is this mystery being that captures the left and right arrow key. How can I find out if it was the last key stroke pressed. I need to know if someone just moved left or right so I can keep them from going to the next or previous line just by hitting left or right.

    - AxHost'ed WebBrowser Control Win Forms hosting problems! (or bugs?) Hi All! When developing financial app I have just encountered problem in using AxHost WebControl created from SHDocVw.dll. In my app it is included in MDIChild Windows Form control - BrowserForm. After or without any customization and inclusion into Windows.Form app as a MDIChild I have problems with changing focus to BrowserForm windows with mouse clicks and surprisingly everything works fine with Infragistic UltraTabbedMDIManager when in tabbed view. Next problem arisies when switching between tabbed and MDI layout at run-time programatically. Focus change between child Browser windows in MDI view is not handled properly, moreover, problem propagates to other MDIChild Forms which work perfectly when no BrowserForm is present. Most serious problem I have seen so far arises when switching back to tabbed view from MDI at run-time. Browser seems to lose control of client window size and draws itself either at previous size (when tab is deselected and selected again - than it is again OK) or at some undetermined situations (i can not find any particular conditions at which to repeat that behaviour) it draws itself outside application area (even MDIParent) it seems that instead of window rather at desktop coordinates. I do assume that browser loses somehow handle to window in which it should draw and catches handle to desktop (?) but I have no idea how to overcome that problem! Obviosly the problem with focus change is mysterious for me as well! Waiting for any syggestions. Jacek PS VS.NET does not allow for change between tabbed and mdi view at run-time - you have to start next session - is it runtime switch problem? But in this same VS.NET multiple browser forms coexist without any focus problems! I have posted this news to interop newsgroup as well Tag: DockStyle problem Tag: 62956

    - DragDrop registration failed exception I have a .NET (C#) application which crashes upon exiting its main form with a "DragDrop registration failed" exception. All references I have so far been able to find to this exception suggest that the fix is to place a [STAThread] attribute on the Main() function of the app. I have already done this and it does not fix my problem. Any other ideas? What other things can cause this exception? Tag: DockStyle problem Tag: 62945

I have a GUI which I design with VS.NET.
basically I have tabs and I put control at the top or bottom by setting
their Dock property to Top or Bottom.

then (after the InitializeComponent()) method I add some other widget in the
tabs, with the aim to fill the remaining space by setting their Dock
property to Fill

unfortunately the new control seems not to take the remaining space, but the
whole space of the Tab page !
(and are partially obscured by previously adde control)
is that really normal ?
how to fix that ?

I am not able to repro that. Post your code.

Try calling BringToFront() on the control that is being clipped (filled). If
your in the designer - right click the control that is DockStyle.Fill and
choose Bring to Front.

I found a simple work around.
with the designer I had a panel with DockStyle.Fill, which behave correctly.
then I put my stuff inside this panel.

I have nonetheless the feeling it looks like a bug.
