    - Control.BackColor Transparency, Control.BackColor = Color.Transparent in my app i need to make a RichTextbox control transparent. i need it to be a like a pane of glass lying on a sheet of paper, where u can see everything on the sheet of paper not covered by text written on the glass pane. i need to be able to see the control or form that is underneath the RichTextbox, and at the same time to be able to write and erase text to the RichTextbox. i'm assuming that it is the backcolor that hides what is underneath a control. so i tried setting rtb.BackColor = Color.Transparent. when u do that u get a error that BackColor may not be Color.Transparent. bummer. i looked for help and found the following link on the cd that came with net 2005 ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio.v80.en/dv_fxmclictl/html/32433e63-f4e9-4305-9857-6de3edeb944a.htm the heading is: How to: Give Your Control a Transparent Background in it it tells u the following: ======================== By default, controls do not support transparent backcolors. However, you can allow your control to have a background color that is opaque, transparent, or partially transparent by using the Control.SetStyle Method in the constructor. The SetStyle method of the Control class allows you to set particular style preferences for your controls, and can be used to enable or disable support for transparent backcolors. To give your control a transparent backcolor Locate the constructor for your control class. Call the SetStyle method of your form in the constructor. SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, True) This will enable your control to support a transparent backcolor. Beneath the line of code you added in step 1, add the following line. This will set your control's BackColor to Transparent. Me.BackColor = Color.Transparent ====================================== i subclassed the RichTextbox control, added a constructor, as follows: (i tried Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.Opaque, False) & Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.Opaque, True) & omitting it alltogether, it didn't help.) --------------- Public Class clsRtbx Inherits System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox Sub New() SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, True) Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.Opaque, False) Me.BackColor = Color.Transparent End Sub End Class -------------- to test it, i did the following in the Form_Load event Dim rtb2 As New clsRtbx rtb2.Text = "" rtb2.Top = 0 rtb2.Left = 0 rtb2.Width = 300 rtb2.Multiline = True rtb2.Height = 200 rtb2.BackColor = Color.Transparent 'i tried with this line, and without it Me.Controls.Add(rtb2) rtb2.BringToFront() when i did this, i did not get the color transparency error, but it still hides everything underneath itself! am i missing something? i would greatly appreciate to find out if a control can be make transparent (as explained above, to see what is underneath it, while being able to write/erase to it), and how to do it. thanks, ray Tag: Can I Get DoubleBuffered Graphics object by using CreateGraphic()?

    - Adding Scroll bar to MDI Client Control Hi All, I am currently working in a windows application designed in C# 2.0. The application is the MDI application. At the launch of the application, for the MDI Parent, i want to calulate the size of the MDI client that should be(Using some my own formula) and it should set the width accordingly. If the width exceeds the current display area, it should show the scroll bar. Perviously i was trying with the AutoScroll property for the form to be true and AutoScrollMinSize property to control the view of the Scroll Bar. But Setting these property causes the Form's IsMDIContainer to becomes false. So can any body helps me out how can i give the size of the MDIClient control (for the MDI Parent form) to be larger then the current window size and showing the scroll bar if it is required.

    - Global objects I have an application which is comprised of, among many other things, a Main form which shows various user controls depending on which NavBar link they click on. In addition, there are many Entity classes that I created to support the application, one of which happens to be called User. In my main form I currently instantiate a User which corresponds with the user who logged in. The User object that is created (g_oCurrentUser) is declared as Private in my Main form's code, but there is a Public function (GetCurrentUser) that returns a pointer to g_oCurrentUser. My question is "Is there a way for the entity classes to "get at" the g_oCurrentUser object from the main form? The reason I need to do this is because I want to pull the current user's ID to use for populating the fkLastUpdatedByUserID field of the entities when they have been changed by the current user. Is there a way to do this? I guess my question, more generally, is how can I have Object variables that are accessible both to the Main form and to other parts of the system (e.g. user controls that will be created later and shown on the form, other Objects, modules, etc.)?

    - Login Form I have a login form that I want to show before the Main form loads. I am currently showing it in the Main form's Load event. If ModalResult of form does not return as DialogResult.OK, I call Me.Close for the Main Form. 1) Is best place to show it in Main form's Load event? 2) Is calling Me.Close in Load event the best way to keep the Main form from ever showing (i.e. quitting the application before it even appears)? If answer to either question above is No, please advise as to better solution. Tag: Can I Get DoubleBuffered Graphics object by using CreateGraphic()? Tag: 101844

    - Dynamic items to ContextMenuStrip and Text from sub-items? How to add dynamically new item WITH subitems to ContextMenuStrip? I already have designer edited ContextMenuStrip on the form but I need to add some items with sub-items to it dynamically on runtime. How to do that? I can add normal items with myMenu.Items.Add("My new item"); But I have no idea how to add Item with sub-items. Other question is, how can I get "Text" from sub-items and those new dynamically created sub-items? I know I can do Point p = myMenu.PointToClient(new Point(Form.MousePosition.X, Form.MousePosition.Y)); ToolStripItem pItem = myMenu.GetItemAt(p.X, p.Y); this.Text = pItem.Text; But it only give text from main items, not from sub-items.

    - IronPython & Windows Forms Hello all, IronPython [ http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython ] is a great dynamic language for the .NET platform (and also works well on Mono). As well as being a great language, Python brings rapid application development to .NET, without losing the power of the breadth of the .NET API. As an example of how easy it is to develop with IronPython, I am writing a tutorial series on using Windows Forms from IronPython. So far there are five entries : * Introduction - http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_05_20.shtml#e342 * Hello World - http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_05_20.shtml#e343 * Widgets & Event Handlers - http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_05_27.shtml#e344 * Panels & Styles - http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_06_03.shtml#e351 * The Textbox Widget - http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_06_03.shtml#e352 The series is still in it's early days.

    - Language detection Hi there. I need to detect what languages are supported by an application using the VS automation IDE (for a VS add-in). Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any clean way of doing this other than searching for all (embedded) resource files and checking for the appropriate language extension (e.g., "MyResource.[<LanguageExtension>].resx"). Does anyone know if there's a cleaner way of doing this (none that I can find in the automation API so far) and more importantly, how do you determine what the default language is (since no language extension is present for default language resource files). Thanks in advance. Tag: Can I Get DoubleBuffered Graphics object by using CreateGraphic()? Tag: 101836

    - Sharing a component across multiple tabs Hi, I have an application where multiple TabPages (within the same TabControl) need to contain the same components; switching tabs changes the data source feeding into the components. I guess this is a problem a lot of people have solved in the past, but I can't seem to get it to work elegantly. In my current implementation, each time I receive a "Selected" event from the TabControl I switch over my data source, then add my data panel to the newly-selected tab (which automatically removes it from the previous tab). This works reasonably well, but the data grid "flickers" irritatingly - I suspect because of the reparenting. I have tried making the TabControl and the data panel children of the same parent Panel, laid out so that the tabs abut the data panel, and simply changing the data source when the tabs change. This avoids the flickering problem - but unfortunately the 3D border of the TabPanel is very visible, so it's obvious that the data panel is not on the TabControl. If I could switch off the 3D border, this could look OK, but I can't find any way to do that. My final attempt was again to put the TabControl and the data panel on the same parent Panel, but this time making sure that the data panel was on top of the TabControl in the Z-order, and then listening for Resize events from the TabControl and handling them by resizing the data panel so that it precisely obscures the TabPanel. This *almost* works, but (a) the resizing happens a bit too slowly, and is very visible to the user, and (b) it feels really really hacky :-) There *must* be a better way of doing this, can anyone help me out?

    - Using the ASP.NET 2.0 Profile in WinForms Hi all, We have an ASP.NET 2.0 web app which uses Profiles, and want to write a little WinForms app to administer sections of the site. In a little prototype, I was able to utilize Profile in the WinForms app! I added this to my app.config: <system.web> <profile> <properties> <add name="FirstName" type="string" /> <add name="LastName" type="string" /> </properties> </profile> </system.web> (So, it's using the default SQLExpress database/provider). I then wrote this code in a form to create and save profile info: Dim p As ProfileBase = ProfileBase.Create(txtUsername.Text) p("FirstName") = txtFName.Text p("LastName") = txtLName.Text p.Save() NOW, I do have one remaining question. When using Profile in ASP.NET, ASP.NET somehow creates a "ProfileCommon" subclass of ProfileBase with strongly-typed properties (as opposed to the non-strongly-typed properties that I use above). Each Page's "Profile" property returns this ProfileCommon. How does ASP.NET create this ProfileCommon class - does it code-generate it? Secondly, is there a way that I could make use of the strongly-typed ProfileCommon class in my WinForms app? Tag: Can I Get DoubleBuffered Graphics object by using CreateGraphic()? Tag: 101817

    - Dock and Z-Order Problems I have a lingering problem with control docking and z-order. As I understand it, the control docking order based on the control z-order. So If I have two controls, Control1 & Control2 whose Dock properties are both set to Top, the control that is "Top Most" will appear on the top. I tried changing the z-order in the designer for Control2 by selecting bring to front, but when I show the form, Control1 appear on top. Programatically, I tried settting the z-order by calling the BringToFront method and then changing the Dock as follows: Control1.Dock = DockStyle.None; Control2.Dock = DockStyle.None; Control1.Location = new point (0,0); Control2.Location = new point (0,0); Control2.BringToFront(); Control1.Dock = DockStyle.Top; Control2.Dock = DockStyle.Top; But this still does not work. How do I set Control2 to be on Top of the form? I hope I don't have to muck around with the designer generated code. I am using .Net 2.0.

    - With DataDirectory Keyword: CrystalReports.Load, CrystalReports.SetDataSource Yields Password Prompt Which You Can Cancell And Still See Report! How To Stop Prompt Hello, the step that I did to get to my current question are: I began to use the keyword DataDirectory and the next line of code.

    - XSD File and Database View hi Guys! i've faced very very strange problem. i don't know whether it is a problem or its the feature of the .net 2.0. I'd made some Dataset using XSD file. in this XSD files i've created 3 tables and defined some constraint in them. i generated Data Adapter and everything was working fine. Then i made change in the database. i added one column in the one of the table and renamed the table and also created the view with the previous name of the table so that my dataset work correctly. but what surprised me is, my dataset didnt work. yeah, i spent hours to find out the problem but all my R&D failed. after lots of R&D i drop the view and again renamed the table and everything started working back. and that surprised me. My conclusion on this is : -- if you have enforced constriant in the Dataset XSD files, then do remember to modifiy tables in the file as you modify them in the database -- XSD file doesnt work with views. i mean if you have constraint enabled then XSD failes to work with view as it only requires physical tables so that constraint can be enfored. I want your vies on my experienced because this is something i cant find it anywhere and only experienced developers can tell me why, what and how on this problem. please let me know if there is something i'm missing. thanks, Lucky Tag: Can I Get DoubleBuffered Graphics object by using CreateGraphic()?

I want the cell to have the button all the time, also when not clicked.

Does anyone have any idea how to accomplish this? The normal button i get using following code.. It is gray, which should be lightblue and i use a "v" to show on the button, which isnt ideal either..

Application works fast when I don't have background image on my base form ( in turn we don't have any background image for any of the form), But when I apply background image for the base form or individual form , screen loads slowly ie.. the controls on the screen loads slowly . is there any way to overcome this problem Technology - Windows form in VB.Net Tag: Can I Get DoubleBuffered Graphics object by using CreateGraphic()?

    - Drag and Drop Outlook attachment into a Windows Form Control I previously performed drag and drop between 2 lists within a Windows form. Right now I am looking for something a little more complex and I am not able to find a way to do it. In just few words, I want to drag a file (in my case a PDF file) which is an attachment to an email in Outlook 2003 client and drop it over a control (in my case a command button or anything else) within a window in my application. When file is dropped over my designated control, I do not need to open it I just want to save it into a SQL database. Saving files in SQL databases is not an issue because I am already doing it, my only problem is I don't know how to capture the dropped file into a variable in order to be afterwards able to save it into the database. The same question would apply for other formats too (e.g. BMP, JPG, TIFF, DOC, XLS, etc.) if each type should be handled in a different way. I appreciate any hints into this issue. Thanks, Adrian Tag: Can I Get DoubleBuffered Graphics object by using CreateGraphic()? Tag: 101764

    - Data binding to a NUmbericUpDownBox I have 1 row of data in data set and want to bind to a numeric box. I figured that nUpDwnMin1.DataBindings.Add("Value", ,"Min_1"); but I having an issue figuring out the source notation. Unfortunately, I am getting confused about setting the value from the data set. I created all my tables with table[0]. Do I have to use a get and set statement for the valuesl in the class? Can I directly load from the dataset? Also, these are numbers that will be updated that's why I decided to use a dataset to write back easily? This data set only contains 1 record. I put the code below to see if I am going over board. Any help is greatly appreciated. Mark //Call over private void Load_CodeAssignments() { DataTable dt = new DataTable(); Codes dsCodes = new Codes(cbDept.Text, cbPyramid.Text); dt = dsCodes.Get_Codes; //nUpDwnCodeA.Value = dsCodes.Get_Codes.Columns["A_pct"]; No good //nUpDwnMin1.Value = Convert.ToDecimal(dt.Columns["Min1"]); No good nUpDwnMin1.DataBindings.Add("Value", ,"Min_1"); } //Class public class Codes { #region Private Members private DataSet _dsCodes; #endregion #region Public Properties public DataTable Get_Codes { get { return _dsCodes.Tables[0]; } } #endregion #region Constructors public Codes(string Department, string Pyramid) { //This will establish the database connection Database db = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase("Test"); //This will allow you to call a SP and use parameters DBCommandWrapper dbc = db.GetStoredProcCommandWrapper("usp_Inv_SS_GetCodes"); dbc.AddInParameter("@Department", DbType.String, Department); dbc.AddInParameter("@Pyramid", DbType.String, Pyramid); _dsCodes = db.ExecuteDataSet(dbc); } #endregion Tag: Can I Get DoubleBuffered Graphics object by using CreateGraphic()?

    - .net framework configuration Hi everyone, I have to install a .net executable on every machine in my network. Done. Now, when this executable runs, it stops with an unhandled exception. The only machine where it runs OK is the one on which I put up a .net framework security policy that enables the application to run. Right, but is there a way to set up this configuration via script or group policy, or do I have to manually configure each workstation ?!

    - PropertyGrid MS .Net gurus opinion needed Hi there all, I've used the property grid control in the past and it is a very nice control. But i wonder is there a way to switch the left and right columns, for languages the use RTL the left column should be the value column and the right column should be the property name column. Is there a way to achive this without writing the control from scratch ? I've explored all of the properties and methods of the property grid and didn't found a hack for this. 0L Tag: Can I Get DoubleBuffered Graphics object by using CreateGraphic()? Tag: 101727

    - "Global" objects I am new to .NET and am wondering how to accomplish having certain global objects that could be referenced by other forms/user controls. I have a main form on which I show various user controls depending on which item the user clicks on in the NavBar on the left of the form. Each user control has certain program functionality on it. What I want to do, for example, is have certain object variables on the main form (e.g. m_oEventLogger) that I can reference from my user controls, or from other forms that I might show. 1) How do I declare these in the code for the Main form? 2) How would I refer to them from user controls shown on the main form? 3) How would I refer to them from other forms that are shown separate from the main form?
