    - Controls Disapear when I Compile Windows Forms I have come across a strange BUG in VS 2003 that drives me nuts and makes working in the Windows Form designer sometime impossible. This usually happens when I have made a lot of changes to a form by deleting then re-adding a bunch of controls. The problem happens when I try to re-add controls. I can add the controls and get them all exactly where I what, and the form looks good then I compile the project/solution and then everything goes bad. I get strange errors like: "Duplicate declaration of member 'location'" or just "Member Not Found". When you double click on them all it does is take you to the top of the class. When you look at the form generated code you can tell that most of the properties to tell the control where to display and its size are missing, so when you look at your form all your controls are gone in design mode. I end up having to go into the code and deleting the declarations manually and removing all the code in that was generated by the designer. I have looked at the KB article 821309 that is for the problem with 'location', but that says it is only a problem in 2002 and the workaround didn't work for me anyway. Right now I have one form that I can do this on pretty much every time I add a control. I can add one control get it like I want then I save it and check it in. Then I check it out make more changes. I keep checking in and out so if I make to many changes and everything gets screwed up I don't have to redo everything again. We use Vault 3.0 for our source control and this isn't a Vault problem because I had this issues with Visual Source Safe also. Any help on this problem would be great. I have tried deleting the RESX file for the form, but that doesn't help either. Thanks, Eric Renken Tag: Drag and Drop question Tag: 84150

    - Hierarchical presentation style for DataGrid I have bound datagrid to a dataset with a datarelation defined between work orders and line items of those work orders. The default navigation style is to present the [+] at each work order. You expand, and it shows the name of the datarelation in a new line, that is shown as a hyperlink. You must THEN click the hyperlink and then it clears the data grid display, shows the parent work order data at the top, and then a grid of columns for the line item. I have seen grids show subordinate records on the same "page" as their master records, with column headings for the expanded area appropriate for the line items. How is this done?

    - Unhandled exception after calling child form's Dispose(). Hello, I have a main form (MainForm) which contains File->New menu item. On clicking File->New menu item, i am displaying a form (ChildForm) which contains a lot of controls and a lot of complex code. Everytime the File->New menu item is clicked, a new instance of ChildForm is created and shown as modal dialog with MainForm as owner. In the ChildForm's Dispose() method, i have included code to remove all event handlers, cleanup the controls etc. After call to ChildForm.ShowDialog(MainForm), i am calling the ChildForm.Dispose() method explicitly, to release the window handles. The problem here is I am getting an Unhandled Exception saying "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at System.Windows.Forms.ChildWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)".

    - How to refresh SOME records in the datagrid but NOT SQL Server ? I am sure this is a dumb/simple question, but I am new to this stuff, so request for patience with me... I have OUTSIDE knowledge that there is activity regarding some records in a parent / child set of tables I am showing in what I want to be a read-only view in a grid. I have primary key values, but don't know if it is just a change to existing records, or if the record was recently inserted. I want to reflect these changes to the grid in realtime as they occur, by using the primary key to query certain records and get them updated in the datagrid. I started out binding the grid to a DataTable. But I had trouble detecting column sorts, and the need to show some status information for the current cell. I switched to using a DataView and that fixed that. Then I wanted to show work-order/line-item levels, and so I created a datarelation in a dataset, and bound to that, and this works (pretty good). I thought if I queried JUST the work order and line items I know have changed, this would be very efficient. I just need to integrate those data updates to grid. From docs it appeared that DataTable.LoadDataRow would allow me to import the values from the update query data set, and would then update my grid with additions and row value changes. But I get duplicate primary key errors, which suggests to me this is trying to update the database, rather than just my in-memory dataset and the display grid. This makes me wonder if I in any way change the dataset if it will be attempting to post those to the database underneath, which I do not want. Am I going to have to implement my own list structure to bind to the grid? If not, how is this done with datasets? Tag: Drag and Drop question Tag: 84115

    - SelectedIndexChanged event with listview I have a form with a listview to allow users to select an item. When they select one I fill in controls below it for them to modify the values. They can also just enter new values in the controls without selecting a listview item in order to insert new records. After entering new data if they select a row in the listview I prompt them to make sure they want to save the changes. If they select 'Cancel' I want to not highlight the newly selected row and leave the data in the detail controls as it was. Otherwise the new row is selected and the listview item is used to populate the detail controls. The problem seems to be that when I clear the selected items for the listview the selectedindexchanged event fires again. I get the yesnocancel prompt twice. If I step through the code in the debugger I only get it once. I tried using a bool to skip the handler when clearing the selection but it seems like the highlighting of the selected row then sometimes happens after the clearing so it ends up in the selected anyway. I tried playing with the clicked event and others and the events don't seem to always happen in a predictable order. Each thing I try seems to create new issues and it seems this shouldn't be this difficult. I've done similar things with the datagrid but would like to use listview. Basically want to be able to prompt the user sometimes when they select a new listview item and if they "cancel" I want to be able to clear the selection or set the selected item to a prior selected item without prompting them a second time. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jeff Tag: Drag and Drop question Tag: 84112

Everything works fine for the first selection, however the textboxes do not automatically update their values when the combo box changes values. The textboxes are bound to a dataset. Here is and an example of what the databinding lookes like in designer: Text: DsEventPerson1 - tblSubject.FirstName When the user selects a new row in the combo box, the DsEventPerson1 is cleared and refilled.

    - Control Validating Event Odd Behavior I now know this event is quirky. I am seeing something odd, *though*. When I set a break point inside a validating Event Handler, I see the desired behavior when setting cancel = True. "If the test fails, you set the Cancel property of the Validating event's CancelEventArgs to True. This cancels the Validating event and causes the focus to return to the control. The practical effect is that the user cannot leave the control until the data is valid." However, when not running in debug mode I do not see the desired behavior when cancel = True. I am able to leave the control even though the data is not valid. Make sense to anyone? Greg Robinson Custom Data Systems, Inc. www.cds-am.net Tag: Drag and Drop question Tag: 84102

    - Calling .NET using COM I have a C# Windows Application that was built using an XML-based framework (It's fairly complex, but simplifies our development considerably.) We have recently integrated this application with a COBOL application, in that the COBOL application will call our .NET forms. I have discovered a few issues with this, and hope someone may be able to help in fixing them. Most of the problems seem to revolve around the Windows MessageLoop, threading and some third-party components (namely, Janus GridEx and Infragistics Toolbars). (I posted to their news forums, but have not had any luck there.) I think the problem may be more in how I am creating and using the thread. I have the code here that is used when a form is called from the COBOL application. One thing I have noticed is that if I call the form using System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(_child) , the form works perfectly, but the user cannot do anything in the COBOL application - it's "frozen" until I close the .NET form. If I use the following code to call the form, the user can do stuff in the COBOL application, but the Tab, ESC, Alt, etc. keys do not function as expected on the third-party components, which may do something of their own with the keys. For example, the Janus Grid should Tab from column to column, but does not. Instead, it will tab from control to control. I have tried looking at various properties of the thread the form is on, the ApplicationContext, the Application, etc, but nothing seems to be different from one call to the next, except for the thread's ID. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! The code to create the thread is: _applicationcontext = new System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationContext(_child); ThreadStart _threadstart = new ThreadStart(this.StartMessageLoop); Thread _thread = new Thread(_threadstart); _thread.IsBackground = true; _thread.ApartmentState = ApartmentState.STA; _thread.Start(); Where _child is the form with the grid, and StartMessageLoop is: private void StartMessageLoop(){ Application.Run(_applicationcontext); } Tag: Drag and Drop question Tag: 84100

    - Problem with Opacity and Clipping on a textbox I have a derived textbox which draws an XP border around the control by catching the WM_NCPAINT message. The control works fine until the Opacity of the form is set to something other than 0. Setting the opacity to anything other than 1 causes all sorts of problems. For example, the DC returned by GetWindowDC is not aligned with the actual location of the window so the window is drawn in an incorrect location (it's offest by the width and height of the NC border), the drawing area in the DC is the wrong size so I cannot paint the entire NC area, the client area is not correctly positioned and the mouse hit testing is incorrect. In general things are a mess when opacity is set to anything other than 1.

    - The private components field: where is used? Hi there Every time I create a new Form in the VS 2003 IDE i see the following entry private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null; which constantly remains null, when I add controls (say a Button) or components (say Timer) on the Form. The protected Dispose() checks if (components != null) which always returns false. Questions: 1. Where and when that private "components" field is used? 2. If it is always null a. can I delete it safely? b. why I don't see any compiler warning? Also, that same declaration private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null; is done by the IDE when I create a new Component or CustomControl file. But I don't intend to use it.

    - Capturing user interaction Hello NG, in my MDI-App, I'd like to checkfor how long the User hasn't done anything (moved the mouse, pressed a key) so that I can do some stuff after a given amount of idle time. My first idea was to save the current time in a variable every time the user moves the mouse or presses a key so that i can use that variable to calculate idle time. I ran into a problem at the very start though. The MouseMove Event of my MDI parent form is never fired. Is that standard behaviour for MDI containers? What would be an elegant way to capture the point in time of the last user interaction? Tag: Drag and Drop question Tag: 84088

In the main (first) tab page, there is a panel, on this panel, there are a few text boxes and one readonly combobox. The controls on this form are bound to a datatable in a dataset.

    - listview scrollbar range not correct I implemented a double buffered listview to eliminate flicker. I set the following styles, then overrode OnPaint and did the drawing. Everything looks great! However, if I change the font from default, the column headers are not drawn with the new font and worse yet the scrollbar doesn't know that font height has changed and I can never scroll to see the last few items on the list. Short of adding my own scrollbar, is there a way to let the column headers and scrollbar know about the new "range" when the font is changed?

    - Microsoft: Help with OLE documents... Hi all. I have an application to draw and design different documents, that supports linking and embedding of other documents (like, for instance, Corel Draw or Word). Then, the user can print their designs "WYSIWYG", so I load the external document inside an OLE document container control (VB6), get a handle to the object and invoke OleDraw with the hDC that I want the object in. This have been working excellent, and this application is largely distributed among our clients. The problem is we want to migrate to .NET (any language, VB, C#, C++, ...), but there's no OLE container that lets me obtain a handle to an OLE document. I know you could import COM and ActiveX, but this particular control (included in VB6) CANNOT BE IMPORTED NOR INSERTED in .Net. Microsoft calls this a "migration issue" and warns us about it, but how, then, can I draw an Ole document inside our application (let alone open, edit, update, etc)? Is Microsoft planning to update this component for VS.Net 2005? Or is there an alternative? I know I could load an OLE document "the hard way", but those are methods so obscure, I get lost before even starting to insert the document in a container... If this is the only solution, is there an easy (as easy as this can be) example that can lead me to accomplish the insertion of a document inside mine? I know it can be done, because RTF editor lets you do it. It even lets you open and edit the document, and "paste special", but I don't seem to accomplish getting a handle to any of those inserted objects... Thank you for your time, VBen.

    - adding items to listbox with extra data similar to databinding to dataview since you can't change items in a listbox that is databound, i have to add & remove items using its items collection.

(i'm not adding any controls to the panel). when the form exceeds(coz of dynamic controls creation) the default system coordinates, vertical scroll bar should be dynamically produced in the form. in this case i could produce the vscrollbar dynamically. but when i'm scrolling the form,the controls which are down couldn't be scrolled up. i'm doing it in this way, if(height >= 600) { vsb=new VScrollBar(); vsb.Dock=DockStyle.Right; vsb.Maximum = 600; vsb.LargeChange = 250; vsb.ValueChanged +=new EventHandler(vsb_ValueChanged); Controls.Add(vsb); } ... ... ... private void vsb_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.Top = -vsb.Value; } any suggestion in this regard would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Regards chris Tag: Drag and Drop question Tag: 84036

    - label.visible does not work I'm developing a quite comlex form containing a user control in C# In the user control I'm trying to set a simple label to be visible: labelState.Visible = true; The debugger showns me, that the labelState.Visible is false before entering this line of code. But it is still false after this line of code!!! Can anyone please explain, how this can happen? I have double checked that I have not defined an event on this label that resets the value to false. Is there any posiible condition that does not allow to set a label's visibility to true? Regards Burkhard Mahr ------------------------- Label Initialization Code: this.labelState.Anchor = ((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles)((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Top | System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Right))); this.labelState.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent; this.labelState.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((System.Byte)(0))); this.labelState.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(870, 4); this.labelState.Name = "labelState"; this.labelState.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(44, 16); this.labelState.TabIndex = 16; this.labelState.Text = "Status"; Tag: Drag and Drop question Tag: 84027

    - child mdi forms in different threads Hi, I want to open up a number of child forms in my main mdi container form, but I want the processing that will happen in each child to happen in a different thread. I tried something like this: ChildForm childForm = new ChildForm(); shildForm.MdiParent = this; Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(childForm.Show)); thread.Start(); It workd fine for the first childForm, but the next one doesn't open up. It just hangs. Is this how things are normally done or is there another way? Thanks in advance. Tag: Drag and Drop question Tag: 84014

If no, is possible to change something in client-side from this control ?
