    - print button on printpreview dialog I just added a print and printpreview capability to my app. It's printing a nasty datagrid with hidden columns that may be filtered and sorted. Everything seems to work, but I'm having trouble with printing from the printpreview form. The preview looks right, I get the right number of pages, and the lines look right, but there is no text. Is there some trick to make this work? If not, how do I disable the print button from the stock printpreviewdialog. I can hear the users complaining about this already. Thanks, Mick.

    - winforms weirdness with context menu mouse up I'm seeing some weird business going on and I'm wondering if there's an easy workaround or if I have to go into hack mode. In non-winforms apps you must have a right mouse down followed by a right mouse up in order to get a context menu. One specific example is the tool bar which brings up the standard (Restore,Move,Size,Maximize,Close) context menu. However, it seems in winforms you only need a mouse up. Now in the control I'm creating I capture the mouse on mousedown and do seperate actions on mouse move depending on whether the right or left mouse buttons are depressed. But when I've pressed the right button, capturing the mouse, and then released over the toolbar(in order to release control) I get the context menu popping up. Oddly enough, after dismiss the context menu the mouseup event for my control fires. Obviously this is not the behavior I want. Seems weird the winforms team decided to raise context on mouseup alone. But fine. Do I have any options besides installing a message filter? Thanks in Advance, Robert Conde Tag: Dropdown Tag: 89144

    - ShowDialog, SEHException and Timer control I know the SEHException when calling ShowDialog is quite a common problem, generally associated with EnableVisualStyles, but I've just been having a problem with it, and I'd already added the DoEvents call before Application.Run, so it wasn't that. I'm working on an application which uses a timer to poll a database at regular intervals. There is also an override button to force an immediate check. When a dialog box was shown from the Timer control's Tick event, I got the SEHException, but when it was shown from the manual override, I didn't. Strange, thought I. As an experiment, I replaced the System.Windows.Forms.Timer control with a System.Timers.Timer object, and the problem went away. I post this in the hope that it might help others in the future.

    - VB.NET problems displaying custom dialog box I added a form to my project to use as a dialog box. The form is simple, 2 text boxes, 1 checkbox, 3 labels and 2 buttons. It will eventually allow a user to reset a password, but I haven't added the functionality yet. I have the dialog created when the user selects Tools - Reset Password from my main menu control. When Reset Password is clicked I execute: Dim frmResetPassword As New ResetPassword frmResetPassword.ShowDialog() Where ResetPassword is the name of the new form. When launched it's generating an error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. The error is generated from an unknown module. Now here is where it gets weird. If I add a button to the form and run it again I don't get an error. I don't put code behind the button or change anything else (I still execute from the menu item), I just add it to the form. I have no idea what is going on and would be most appreciative to anyone who can point me to a solution. Thanks. Tag: Dropdown Tag: 89119

    - How to get rid of scrollbars in datagrid? I have windows form with datagrid control. I don't want the datagrid control to display vertical and horizontal scrollbars. I wonder whether there is a way to get rid of scrollbars without deriving my own class from System::Windows::Forms::DataGrid?

    - PropertyChangedEvent I read this article called "Windows Forms Data Binding and Objects" by Rockford Lhotka wich in an MSDN article. It makes a custom class that can be bound to. If a value in the class changes from code or an other control it needs to be updated in all bound controls. ThatÂ´s where the PropertyChanged event comes in. The article says that de bindingmanager listens for those events. Now, the sample code (I didnÂ´t run it) is in VB.Net. I would like to do the same thing in C#. And guess what, it doesnÂ´t work. I donÂ´t know what i am doing wrong and canÂ´t find any samples. Anyone there that can give me a hint? Much appreciated, thanks. Tag: Dropdown Tag: 89112

    - ListBox component and underlying Items objects Hello, I've run into a brick wall in working with a standard ListBox. I'm loading lightweight objects into a ListBox component - call them Elements. The Element class has an ElementName property and an overridden ToString() method that displays the ElementName. When I load Elements into my list box Items collection, the ElementName displays and all is well. My problem occurs when I change an ElementName property programatically. The underlying Element does indeed change, but I can't get the text displayed the list box to reflect it! I can delete and re-add the Element and the change will show up, but neither ListBox.Update() nor ListBox.Refresh() change it. I've considered a custom draw method (which I may have to implement anyway). But is there another way of changing the text I'm overlooking? I'm not using data binding - can a ListBox programatically bind to its own Items collection? Any help appreciated. Thanks much Jim Stanley Media Services, Inc. Tag: Dropdown Tag: 89108

    - Is "colspan" in ListView possible? I am working with MS Visual studio C#.net, .net framework 1.1. Do you have an idea, how can I use the ListView (details display mode), that it does similarly as an html table do? Or there is a better container which would fit my needs? What I need in the ListView is: 1. Above some subitems, a common header should appear (above the actual column headers). 2. In some rows I don't have all details (texts for all subitems), but instead I have a commentary, common for some subitems. So, I would need a kind of "colspan" in a table. I would be grateful for any help/ Jola ---------------------------------------------------- I want to obtain that (example): <html> <table border=1> <tr> <th colspan='2'> </th> <th colspan='3'> Block 1 </th> <th> </th> <th colspan='3'> Block 2 </th> </tr> <tr> <th> Main item </th> <th> </th> <th> Subitem 1 </th> <th> Subitem 2 </th> <th> Subitem 3 </th> <th> </th> <th> Subitem 11 </th> <th> Subitem 22 </th> <th> Subitem 33 </th> </tr> <tr> <td> First entry </td> <td> </td> <td> 1284 </td> <td> 4352 </td> <td> 3214 </td> <td> </td> <td> 3421 </td> <td> 2412 </td> <td> 3421 </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Second entry </td> <td> </td> <td colspan='3'> here comes the commentary </td> <td> </td> <td> 4536 </td> <td> 9867 </td> <td> 3910 </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Third entry </td> <td> </td> <td> 3424 </td> <td> 3334 </td> <td> 3214 </td> <td> </td> <td colspan='3'> here comes the commentary </td> </tr> </table> </html> Tag: Dropdown Tag: 89104

    - How? Using a custom TypeConverter in custom grid column style. I have bound a grid column to an enumeration data type. I derive from DataGridTextBoxColumn and override GetColumnValueAtRow and call a function I wrote to convert the enumeration value to a descriptive text for display in the grid cell. This works well. Even though the grid is not editable, and the column is readonly, when one clicks on the cell I get a type conversion exception. Looking at the stack I see Edit calls GetText which uses an "EnumConverter" to convert the descriptive text to an int32, which ultimately tries to parse the descriptive as an int32, and of course fails. I see that DataGridTextBoxColumn has a PRIVATE type converter member. I am seeking any pointers to examples, or samples, or explanations of how to intercede the conversion of the descriptive back to an enumerated value for my custom column type. I think I need to implement a type converter, but I don't see how to tie it in. Or even just to know "it can't be done" would be helpful. Tag: Dropdown Tag: 89091

    - WinForms and AppDomains I have an application where I'd like to be able to run multiple instances of a Windows forms application. Due to a heavy hit in our application startup code it would be beneficial to be able to have a single process with multiple instances of the form. Additionally, it would be useful to be able to partition off each instance in it's own application domain. The current plan is for a module to handle starting a new thread which will fire up a new app domain and then load the form. This module will also handle firing up any new instances by creating a new thread and application domain. My concern is any issues surrounding the UI thread. I'm aware that only the thread that calls Application.Run should access any of the UI components. Typically you would only have one per process. In my situation I'll end up with multiple UI threads. However, each application domain will only have a single UI thread and only this thread will access any UI components. Is the application domain enough of a boundary for the UI threads or am I setting myself up for threading issues? Tag: Dropdown Tag: 89082

    - Change value in bound ctrl when value of another bound ctrl change I have been developing WinForms apps in .NET for several years and have never discovered a good solution to this newbish problem. I frequently encounter a situation where I want to change the value of a control when the user changes the value of some other control and both controls are bound to the same row in a DataTable. For example, say I have a combobox of statuses and a textbox for comments but comments are not applicable for certain statuses. When the user selects one of these statuses I want to set the text of the textbox to an empty string. So I add a handler to the combobox's SelectedValueChanged event and set the TextBox's Text property to an empty string. Doing this seems to cause unpredictable behavior. Sometimes I get an empty textbox but the combobox is changed back to its original value and other times the textbox is not cleared. I assume one change gets pushed to the dataset and triggers a refresh of the controls from the dataset but I'm not really sure. I have worked around this by clearing the textbox when the combobox loses focus but users are never happy with this solution. Having encountered this problem again I thought I would see if anyone can tell me the "right" way to do this. Tag: Dropdown Tag: 89071

Everything works fine, EXCEPT that when I call the Update method on the data adapter, nothing updates, because it thinks nothing has changed! If I make changes to the fields thru the bound edit boxes, and then check the "HasChanges" method on the dataset, it runs FALSE - even though the changes ARE reflected in the dataset's data! How do I fix this??? The Update calls do nothing even if I edit all the fields because the dataset won't recognized that anything has changed. The updates and everything work fine if I manually set new values into the fields; the update works and HasChanges returns true. ex.:dataset.tables(0).rows(0)("my field") = foo thanks!

    - How to track changes in a datagrid I'm developing a desktop app that displays several screens of of data in a two column fashion, the left column has the tiles and the right column has the input controls (textboxes, dropdowns, etc) for input. Typically the app is used to display preexisting data and the user would edit certain things. The data is saved on a network drive and can be edited by many users who have access to the drive (no concurrenct editing) so it needs to be able to track who changed what when. If a value is changed 10 times by 10 different user, it should be able to keep the history.

    - Cursor "stuck" In Databound Control/Caching? I am having a strange issue and cannot solve it. Basically, I have a form that edits information in a database. This form has many different controls that are bound to a business object. When I first load the form to edit the info everything works properly. The process of loading the object also loads the object into cache (Isolated storage using Enterprise Library 2.0 caching application block). If I load the form again and attempt to edit a field (say notes a textbox) my cursor gets "stuck" in the text box and I cannot click on any other control in the form. However I can close the form with the X in the upper right corner and the keys still function properly (Enter saves the object and Esc closes the form). I have looked the stack trace but it is giving me nothing. I have no idea where to begin. Has anyone seen something similar or have any ideas what it might be? Any ideas how I can go about getting some info to solve the problem? Tag: Dropdown Tag: 89013

    - Form Display Hello, I have designed a form in vb.net. I have placed a tab control with 3 tab pages on the form. This tab control holds many controls in each tab page. This form is MDIChild form. I have not written much code on the form. Whenever I run the project, form is dipslayed as textboxes first then Data grid followed by another tab on the form and so on. Form does not display all the controls at once as complete form. What I should do in order to avoid this? Early response is awaited.. -RbanBph Tag: Dropdown Tag: 89010

    - key events doesn't work Hi. I got some problem with the key events, they doesn't rise. first I made a new win project in C#, and I set this.KeyPreview = true; also this.KeyUp += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventHandler(this.fClient_KeyUp); and then I test run the app, and the keyup event did evoke. then I added a brower control into the form private AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser mviewer; and test run the app again, but this time the keyup didn't evoke, I assume the the browser control took the key events, how do I let the parent form evoke the key events again? and the browser control seems don't have any key event handler, am i right? any help would be greatful. regards Steve p Tag: Dropdown Tag: 89008

    - Enter key in Text box I have a problem while using Enter key in text box. when user presses enter in the text box information of customer is loaded. and I have a clear button that clears all the controls on the form. first it works properly. then I click on some other button (say detail button) that opens some other form. after closing that form if clear the form using clear button and again enter Id in text box and press enter. it does not work instead click event of Detail button is fired. Again I clear the form and press enter in the text box then it works and shows the data in controls. It happens several times. I am able to trace that. Control does not enter in event handler of key press event when this problem happen. no error is coming in any of the processes and no default button is set. Any solutions to this problem? -- Regards, Lalit Bhatia Tag: Dropdown Tag: 89003

    - Custom Designer Hi, I'm writing a control called a validating submit button. Basically, you can tell it to validate a number of controls when the user hits this button. When they hit the button, it'll say, "You must enter yada yada..." and highlight the bad field. Ok, now that I've got that out of the way, I think this problem should be relatively easy. Basically, I created a special designer that was a form that had two lists, one of available controls, and one of controls it will validate, in order. It would then add these items an arraylist of the inherited button class. This seems to work fine! I can run my custom verb, have it open up and show all the items that are currently selected to be validated and all of that jazz, but it doesn't change the actual .vb file in the InitializeComponent sub of the test form. So basically, it can change all these values on the design-time copy of the actual control, but I can't figure out how to add code to the initialize component of the form that'll be using this control. I figure that this question ought to be rather easy, as being able to create a custom designer without being able to "save your changes," so to speak, is pretty useless, and probably a commonly asked question. Thanks for your time! Bryce Covert. Tag: Dropdown Tag: 89002

Hi
I am not able to Insert a value at 0 index after i set a Datasource ??

Any alternatives..

cmbDomain.DisplayMember = "KEYNAME"
cmbDomain.ValueMember = "SETTING"
cmbDomain.DataSource = ds.Tables(0).DefaultView

Dim obj As Object = "Select a Domain"
cmbDomain.Items.Insert(0, obj)

Thanks
Vinay

You'll need to add the value to a new DataRow object and insert this object
into the DataTable that is acting as the underlying DataSource
(ds.Tables(0)).
