    - Windows XP ComboBox bug when using "Windows Classic Style" I found a very odd bug while developing a Forms app with Visual Studio 2003. If you have a ComboBox with no items in it, when you click the arrow, an empty drop down list is displayed which is the height of 1 item. In Windows XP, this all works fine if you have your "Windows and Buttons" Display Setting to "Windows XP Style". However, if you change it to "Windows Classic Style", when you click the arrow in your combobox, it does not show the empty drop down list. Worse yet, the system "thinks" it is displayed so the UI is "locked" (just like when a drop down list is displayed) and your next click on the app will do nothing, because this is what would normally close the drop down list. A couple things to note: -If the combo box is not empty, it always properly displays the drop down list -It is not limited to .NET, I built a C++ app with Visual Studio 6.0 and get the same behavior -There are rare circumstances where it does work correctly in "Windows Classic View." Sometimes an empty combobox DOES display the empty drop down list, but it seems to be very rare. I can not explain why sometimes it does and sometimes it doesnt. I have not been able to come up with a scenario where I can consistanly get the empty drop down list to display in "Windows Classic View", in fact, I have only gotten it to happen a couple times. Here are the steps to reproduce (Must be running Windows XP): -Set your style to "Windows Classic Style" by right-clicking empty space on your desktop, select Properties, click the Appearance tab and select the "Windows Classic Style" in the "Windows and buttons" drop down list -Open Visual Studio and create a simple Windows App. Drag a ComboBox onto the Form. Press Ctrl + F5 to build and run the app. -You *should* see that when you click the arrow in the ComboBox, it does not display the drop down list. -Change your style to "Windows XP Style" -Now when you run the app you will see the drop down list DOES appear.

    - BUG: Nested groupbox in .NET 1.1 SP1 shows corrupted caption in themed Hello, .NET 1.1 SP1 contains a nasty bug (.NET 2.0 beta as well) which makes nested groupbox controls to show a corrupted caption text (in bold, which is chopped off) if the windows forms application is run on a themed XP system (i.e.: with windows themes turned on) and flatstyle is set to System (to enable visual styles). This affects all applications written for .NET and which use windows forms and nested groupbox controls, applications which used to work perfectly on .NET 1.1 but are now showing corrupted caption. See for a screenshot: http://weblogs.asp.net/fbouma/archive/2005/01/20/357210.aspx See for a repro case: http://weblogs.asp.net/fbouma/archive/2005/01/21/358006.aspx As the bug is pretty severe, and requires ISV's to change their applications to make them work on .NET 1.1 SP1 while there is nothing wrong with their code, I'd like to ask Microsoft to fix this a.s.a.p. I tried to contact PSS / online support but apparently I have to pay (!) for sending this information to MS, so I try to get your attention through the newsgroups. Please fix. Thanks.

    - Scrolling Problems in a Form Hi everybody, I have a little problem, no two. First my english is not quiet good so please try to understand what I want and help me, please ;) And second: I habe a Form. In this form is a ScrollableControl (modified, so it could raise scroll events), containing another Control painting an image. Okay, everything works fine, but if I deactivate the Form (it's a mdi child form) and activates another Form and than go back, the scrollbars are reseted to the default settings, very top and very left! I will get the same behavior, when I deactivate the hole application an than activate it again. If the mdi-child Forms are deactivate, there are showing the right scrollbar positions and the correct clipping of the image. Only when I activate the form, the form resets the scrollbarpositions :( Me first solution is, receiving the activate Event raised by the form and than set the scrollbar positions. This dosn't work! Than I try the receive all window messages to get the WM_ACTIVATE, WM_MDIACTIVE, WM_NCACTIVATE, WM_SETFOCUS and the WM_IME_SETCONTEXT messages. If I acted on these messages I got a really funny behavior of me application. I have deactive (by clicking to no application on taskbar) and than have activate (by clicking the taskbar icon), than the scrollbar shows again the wrong position, but when I moved the mouse of the form, the scrollbar reposition them self and show the correct positions. Now I react on every message posted throu the WNDPROC function and set the scrollbar positions. This works, BUT if I do a large/small de/in-crement scroll with one mouseclick the scrollbar do the de/increment and immediately set them back to the previous position. This isn't good :( Maybe some of you know the correct window message, so I can set me scrollbars I the form will activate by clicking the nonclient or client area, or the application and so on. Have many, many thanks Robert Groß Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 83082

    - Datagrid with colored columns pausing during setup I have a windows form that contains a datagrid with columns given coloured backgrounds via the DataGridColoredTextBoxColumn class. Data is loaded, and the table style set up, during the load event of the form. At present, the form half displays, then pauses, then completes. Is there any way of telling it to complete the set up _before_ displaying anything? Thanks. Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 83081

    - 2 Simple Questions Hi everyone, I have what I think are 2 pretty simple questions. I know I have done it before, but can't remember how I did it. #1: I have a windows form with a textbox. The textbox is getting filled from within a function. I need to have the scroll buttons on the text box accessable at all times, not just when the loop that fills it gets back around to the application.doevents line. I'm pretty sure there is an easy way to do this with threading. #2: This one is really dumb, but I'm having a slow day. How can I get the text box to autoscroll to the bottom everytime & add text dynamically to it? Thanks all in advance, Matt Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 83073

    - Creating a Form From A Non-UI Thread I have a non-UI assembly that contains a Form similar to the MSN Messenger pop-up that appears when a user comes online. I have a Timer in this assembly that on regular intervals goes and looks for new information and if it finds any, displays the Form to the user right above the System Tray. My problem is that the Form comes up alright, but it seems to not be getting any Windows events like Paint and Click. Also, when I put my mouse over the Form an hour-glass displays. I am assuming that there is a problem with the Form being called from the Timer thread and have been trying to figure out a solution with no luck. One note, Iâ??m trying to design this assembly to be called from a normal WinForms application and an application that starts in the System Tray so it might or might not have a Form running. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Iâ??m done with this project except for this one â??majorâ?? problem.

    - FileSystemWatcher fails I have an app (that should really be a service, but I haven't got round to it yet) that just monitors a network folder via a filesystemwatcher for new files and then does its thing. Generally, it works fine, but it fails about once a month - which is about one every 2-3 hundred files. No error message or exceptions... it just fails to notice that the file has appeared. After that, any other new files are also ignored. I'm thinking of switching to a dir function running every ten seconds or so....but was wondering if anyone had any ideas about the situation.

    - ComboBox DroppedDown property bug. If set in constructor, WndProc messages are missing I believe I have found a bug in the System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox object. Quick background, there is a ComboBox event for when the drop down list is shown, but not one when it is closed. This is because the ComboBox does not receive any messages when it's drop down list is being closed. It's parent is what receives the CBN_CLOSEUP event notification (from the WM_COMMAND message). I wanted to know when a ComboBox was closing its drop down list so I created a UserControl with one ComboBox in it. I then overrode the UserControl's WndProc, looked for WM_COMMAND message and so on. Now for the bug... When I use this UserControl on a form, all worked fine. But to get the UserControl to act more like a ComboBox, I have to expose all the ComboBox properties by declaring them through the UserControl as properties. The first one I did was the DroppedDown property. Here is where the bug comes in. In the constructor (New subroutine) of the MainForm for the windows app, set the DroppedDown property of the UserControl to False. Now when you run the app the WM_COMMAND message is never sent to the UserControl. Uncomment out the DroppedDown = False in the Main Form constructor and the WM_COMMAND messages are now getting sent again. The steps to reproduce are below. I am not sure what is all effects, but I am running VS 2003. I believe it occurs in both C# and VB.NET along with Debug and Release mode. Steps to reproduce... -Open VS and create a new VB Windows Application (named MyTestApp) -Once it is open, right click on the project in the Solution Explorer, and select Add User Control (named UserControl1) -In the user control, add one combo box (named ComboBox1) -In the code for the user control, override the WndProc function (copy and paste) (Note that &H111 is WM_COMMAND) Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef msg As Message) MyBase.WndProc(msg) If (msg.Msg = &H111) Then Dim x As String = "" End If End Sub -Also in the code for the user control, expose the ComboBox's DroppedDown property (copy and paste) (Make sure to include the DefaultValue property) <System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue(False)> _ Public Property DroppedDown() As Boolean Get Return ComboBox1.DroppedDown End Get Set(ByVal Value As Boolean) ComboBox1.DroppedDown = Value End Set End Property -You are done with the UserControl, now go to the designer for the Main Form (Form1) -Drag a ComboBox from the "Windows Forms" tab in the toolbox anywhere on the form -Go in the code for the Main Form and change the two occurances of "System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox" to "MyTestApp.UserControl1" -In the UserControl code, put a breakpoint on the Dim x As String = "" line and press F5 to run the application. -You should see the breakpoint hit before the app even fully loads because the UserControl will have focus, which CBN_SETFOCUS is on of the WM_COMMANDs that is sent -Once you verify that the breakpoint is hit, press Shift+F5 to stop debugging -Now go into the Main Form's code and find the New() sub (it will be in the "Windows Form Designer generated code" region) -Right after the InitializeComponent() call, set the DroppedDown property of the UserControl to false (copy and paste) ComboBox1.DroppedDown = False -Make sure your breakpoint is still set on the same line and press F5 to run the app again. This time you will notice that by setting the DroppedDown property in the constructor, the UserControl now does not receive any WM_COMMAND messages. Comment out the line and you will see that once again it receives the messages. I cant figure out why this is. It seems to be a bug, but I would imagine it does not come up that often. Here is a similar topic I found but I am not sure if it is the same behavior. It references a HotFix from Microsoft but that does not sound like the same behavior I am getting. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.designtime/browse_thread/thread/2bf345185534b268/b02fad6f3c9afc85 Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking...

    - Dynamically Added Textbox (no KeyDown, KeyUp, KeyPress events fire) I am having a strange problem with a textbox that I am dynamically adding to a form. What I am currently doing ------------------------- I have a set of questions defined in a database. Each question can have a variable number of possible responses and can be laid out differently. I have an answer factory class that gets the correct answer control (RadioButton, TextBox, CheckBox) and provides it to a question control. The question control then adds the answer to one of its panels. All this seems to work a designed...I can add any number of questions and answers to a question list control in a variety of different layouts. The Problem I am Encountering ------------------------- The problem occurs with textbox controls. They display correctly, however, the KeyDown, KeyUp, and KeyPress events are not firing for the textboxes (in other words, I can't type anything into the textbox). However, if I have 2 textbox controls in the same container (panel), I can always get the KeyUp, KeyPress, and KeyDown events to fire by tabbing from the first textbox to the second. Once I do this, I can then start typing into both textboxes without problem. I am completely stumped. Thanks for your help, Doug Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 83034

    - Probs with visual inheritance and DataGrid columns Hello! I've got the following problem: I add a form frmBaseForm to my project, this form contains the DataGrid named let's say dgInvoices which has the table style named tsInvoicesData with several column styles named: tsCompanyName, tsValid, tsValidUntil. Then I add an inherited form to the project, which inherits frmBaseForm that's where the problems start: in the inherited form I have a DataGrid with the same name as on the base form dgInvoices, BUT the table style name is DataGridTableStyle1, more than that, column styles names (shown in property browser) are DataGridTextBoxColumnStyle1, DataGridBooleanColumnStyle1, DataGridTextBoxColumnStyle2. Why it happens this way? Why Buttons, TextBoxes, Panels etc. are shown in the inherited form with the same names, but Table/Column styles are not. The most interesting thing is, that if I go through inherited form members in run-time using Reflection I find these Table/Column styles under names which are assigned to them in the parent form (tsInvoicesData, tsCompanyName, tsValid, tsValidUntil) not which are visible in the property browser for the inherited form. Could please explain me this weird behavior of the IDE, is it normal or not, if it is normal, then WHY?! If not, then is this fixable and how? Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 83005

This appliction uses Window forms UI with a lot of panels put one on the top of other.There are few separate forms for login etc. This UI interact with webservices to get the data from our database and show in turn on UI. Three Windows services are updating our database from some other remote database after regular interval. So in this way we keep our database updated with real data. Thus client UI don't has to wait for long to get the real time data directly from the original source.We are currently deploying the Client UI from web and using C# as language. Being new to dotnet technology, I don't know how to start with this. Some of the facts/questions that are coming to my mind after studying my application and the concepts ... 1. There is a lot of hype and demand about UML Tools like "Rational Rose" etc. I want to use it to redevelop my application. 2. Microsoft recommends the "Application pattern and practices" to design the application. I am presently going through the following topics ... .NET Data Access Architecture Guide http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/daag.asp Desinging Data Tier Components and Passing Data Through Tiers http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/BOAGag.asp Although these are very good resources but these are very vast and taking a lot of time. Sometimes I am not able to follow these articles as I don't have extensive experience. Could you please point me towards 1 or 2 sample applications of "Similar Kind" (Preferably with Full UML diagrams/documents) with of course easy to understand documentation and source code, so that I have the practical view of "Microsoft Pattern and Practices" and I can instantly follow them. It would be better if these applications are not very complex and yet inclue the layering concept as well as the usage of all technologies -Web Services,Windows Services,UI,SQL Server connectivity etc. 3. What is the best way to use Panels/Forms. Is it good to show multiple panels on the same form and when needed use visible for 1 panel and invisible for multiple panels or use multiple forms? And why the respective practice is used? Thank you for all of your patience to go through such a long mail. Please advise me the best way to go about it keeping in mind the time constraint of 2 months. Thanking you in advance, Regards, Rajat Tandon. Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 82997

    - Calling winForms in Installer project I had build an installer project for my ASP.NET project. And found that several fields need to be configured, like the web.config files and etc, which requires user input. Also I need to attach my database using the installer project, anybody could suggest how I could perform similar action? One of my idea is to build a winform project which accepts athe user input and configure the fields during installation, but I had no idea how winform object is being called during installation. Any idea and suggestions are welcomed! Thanks in advance. Regards; weichung Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 82994

    - Index Out of Bounds grrr! Hi Have one Datagrid with a Master Detail relationship code is: // Connection Adapters CBAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter("Select * From tblCashBook", CBConnect) ; CBAdapterSplit = new OleDbDataAdapter("Select * From tblCashBookSplit", CBConnect) ; CBDataset = new DataSet(); CBConnect.Open() ; CBAdapter.Fill(CBDataset, "tblCashBook") ; CBAdapterSplit.Fill(CBDataset, "tblCashBookSplit") ; DGCashBook_SetupColumnStyles(); DGCashBookSplit_SetupColumnStyles(); CBDataset.Relations.Add("CashBookToSplit", CBDataset.Tables["tblCashBook"].Columns["SplitNumber"], CBDataset.Tables["tblCashBookSplit"].Columns["SplitNumber"]); this.DGCashBook.DataSource = CBDataset; this.DGCashBook.DataMember = "tblCashBook"; this.DGCashBook.Navigate += new NavigateEventHandler(DGCashBook_Navigate); cm =(CurrencyManager)this.DGCashBook.BindingContext[this.DGCashBook.DataSource, this.DGCashBook.DataMember]; ((DataView)cm.List).AllowNew = false; CBConnect.Close(); * I am running a filter depending on what option has been selected in a combobox, CBDataset.Tables["tblCashBook"].DefaultView.RowFilter = "BankCode = '" + fBankCode1.txtCode.Text + "'"; * Now I am getting a 'Index out of bounds in array' error when I click on a record with hyperlink to display the children records, this only happens when I use this filter. Any help on this filter problem would much appreciated. Thanks David Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 82993

    - Smooth scrolling I am developing a windows application for scrolling through multi page tif documents (similar to ms word style). I am having difficulties achieving a highly smooth scrolling affect. I load the entire tif into a memory stream and access it from there. I am using a picturebox like control to view each page of the tif, I scroll through viewers using the autoscrollbar on the form. The problem seems to lie in the way the image is being repainted, when scrolling up or down quickly there is the 'frames' affect, the screen does not seem to finish repainting the new display area before the paint event is raised again and another repaint begins (theorizing?). As I continue to scroll down it looks as if the same small portion of image is repainted a dozen times until it fills up the screen, the problem is solved after the scrolling has ended and the paint is able to redraw the screen completely. How can I smooth out the scrolling?? As well, is there any limit on the size of a form and distance a scroll bar can scroll? Thank you Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 82989

    - Update a database Hello, I have an application that sends a transaction across a Domain (on a LAN) to another computer inside the domain that is functioning as a Datastore. When the transaction is sent to the datastore it is always successful, but 90% of the time the first 3 entries (Paramaters) are being duplicated from the previous transactions.i.e. InsertCommand.Text = "INSERT INTO Customers Values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?............)" Parameter(0)....... Parameter.Value= IDNumber Parameter(1)....... Parameter.Value = CustomerAccountNumber.Text Parameter(2)...... Parameter.Value = txtLastName.Text etc. etc. etc (About 110 Parameters, Above example is not actual code just brief idea to explain the problem) when this command is wrapped in a transaction or simply sent to the datastore. The querry is sucessful, but alot of the time the IDNumber will be good, but the CustomerAccountNumber (Built on the fly) and the txtLastName are being duplicated from the previous customer information. I have noticed it is only happens to the first 3 or 4 fields. I am sure that the form has different data but the database is showing (When I view it) that there are multiple individuals with the same account number. Could this have something to do with the network? The network is using DHCP and the DSN for each computer on the network are routed to the Datastore IP and the Domain Computer's IP. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chuck Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 82982

    - Keyboard Selection of DataGrid Rows then Delete Hi all. I'm having problems preventing the delete of datagrid rows when they are selected via keyboard selection. I have implemented the common solution of overriding of PreProcessMessage() to prevent delete when the user selects the entire row by selecting the row header. This works fine. However, execution does not enter this method for this scenario: The user selects a particular value in a particular row/column with the mouse, and then uses SHIFT-Down Arrow one or more times to select multiple rows, and then presses delete. Execution does not enter the PreProcessMessage() method, and the rows get undesireably deleted from the grid. BTW, I cannot override ProcessCmdKey() for this either, because this prevents the use of the delete key within editable columns. Any ideas? Thanx! P.S. I didn't see anything in the DataGrid faq at SyncFusion either, regarding this. Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 82968

    - Running a .Net WinForms app from network drive etc... Not sure if this is the proper group for this but... First, I am trying to figure out exactly what steps I must take on each client machine to be able to Run a .Net WinForms ap from a local Intranet mapped drive. Currently my app will only run if it is installed to a local hard drive. Note that I am NOT interested in doing a SmartApp for this. I only want to run this as an standard windows .net winforms app. Secondly, is it possible to do an Install to a shared/mapped Intranet folder from one machine, and then to go to another machine (with .Net framework on it) and then execute that program from the mapped drive without having installed it on that machine? If the answer is Yes, what about if the app uses 3rd party DLL's like CrytalDecisions reporting DLL's. Is it enought for those DLL's to be installed in the App folder or MUST they be installed into each client machines local GAC? Thanks in advance, JIM Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking...

    - Reuse DataGridTableStyle Hi, I have two datagrids (on the same Windows form) that are basically two different filters of the same datatable. I've set up a table style for the first one and I'm then trying to reuse that same style for the second datagrid. That's giving the error "Cannot add a DataGridTableStyle already parented to another DataGrid" Any ideas how I can reuse it? Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 82963

    - Tab page order with forms inheritance issue... I have a BaseForm with a tab control that has two tab pages on it. When I create a DerivedForm based on the BaseForm I am able to add pages to the form in the DerivedForm. I am also able to reorder all of the pages on the tab control in design mode, however, as soon as I compile to run, the reordering is lost. I have also tried programmatically using SetChildIndex to reorder the tab pages in the container, with the same effect. Does anyone know how to do this? Here are the classes: public class BaseForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form { protected System.Windows.Forms.TabControl tabControl1; protected System.Windows.Forms.TabPage tabPage1; protected System.Windows.Forms.TabPage tabPage2; public BaseForm() { InitializeComponent(); } private void InitializeComponent() { this.tabControl1 = new System.Windows.Forms.TabControl(); this.tabPage1 = new System.Windows.Forms.TabPage(); this.tabPage2 = new System.Windows.Forms.TabPage(); this.tabControl1.SuspendLayout(); this.SuspendLayout(); // // tabControl1 // this.tabControl1.Controls.Add(this.tabPage1); this.tabControl1.Controls.Add(this.tabPage2); this.tabControl1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0); this.tabControl1.Name = "tabControl1"; this.tabControl1.SelectedIndex = 0; this.tabControl1.TabIndex = 0; // // tabPage1 // this.tabPage1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(4, 22); this.tabPage1.Name = "tabPage1"; this.tabPage1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(192, 74); this.tabPage1.TabIndex = 0; this.tabPage1.Text = "tabPage1"; // // tabPage2 // this.tabPage2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(4, 22); this.tabPage2.Name = "tabPage2"; this.tabPage2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(192, 74); this.tabPage2.TabIndex = 1; this.tabPage2.Text = "tabPage2"; // // Form1 // this.AutoScaleBaseSize = new System.Drawing.Size(5, 13); this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(336, 182); this.Controls.Add(this.tabControl1); this.Name = "Form1"; this.Text = "Form1"; this.tabControl1.ResumeLayout(false); this.ResumeLayout(false); } } public class DerivedForm : FormsInheritenceIssue.BaseForm { private System.Windows.Forms.TabPage tabPage3; [STAThread] static void Main() { Application.Run(new DerivedForm()); } public DerivedForm() { InitializeComponent(); } private void InitializeComponent() { this.tabPage3 = new System.Windows.Forms.TabPage(); this.tabControl1.SuspendLayout(); this.SuspendLayout(); // // tabControl1 // this.tabControl1.Controls.Add(this.tabPage3); this.tabControl1.Name = "tabControl1"; this.tabControl1.Controls.SetChildIndex(this.tabPage2, 0); this.tabControl1.Controls.SetChildIndex(this.tabPage1, 0); this.tabControl1.Controls.SetChildIndex(this.tabPage3, 0); // // tabPage1 // this.tabPage1.Name = "tabPage1"; // // tabPage2 // this.tabPage2.Name = "tabPage2"; // // tabPage3 // this.tabPage3.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(4, 22); this.tabPage3.Name = "tabPage3"; this.tabPage3.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(192, 74); this.tabPage3.TabIndex = 2; this.tabPage3.Text = "tabPage3"; // // DerivedForm // this.AutoScaleBaseSize = new System.Drawing.Size(5, 13); this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(336, 182); this.Name = "DerivedForm"; this.tabControl1.ResumeLayout(false); this.ResumeLayout(false); } } Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking...

    - Dynamic Binding to Winform Interface I am trying to load an assembly dynamically in a windows form application and bind to one of the interfaces contained in it. I can successfully load the assembly into memory and create the object which is a Form. But how do I bind to an interface the Form has implemented with out making a project reference to the assembly that contains the interface? I want the executable to interoperate with the Dynamic Loaded Form via Interface only. I believe I am pushing the limits of .NET. But then again I may just be ignorant. If anyone has any comments please share. Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 82959

    - Logging/error handling There is a small group of doing .net development in c#/VB.net. I noticed each of us is logging/ catching errors differently in our programs. In short, does anybody know of a class or object out that that will allow us to add to each project to have common logging/error handling to access through each program. Not sure if anybody has written a class that handles errors and logging. Any help is appreciated Thanks! Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 82950

    - Add bound column to datagridview Hi Gurus. In design time, I can add column to a DataGridView using the "Add Column" item of the DataGridView smart tag. Problem is, I can only add columns of "special types", such as checkbox, textbox, link etc. How can I add regular column, which contains only the text of the bounded source, in design time? I know I can do it by code, but I want to avoid that. BTW - AutoGenerateColumns is false, of course... Thanks! Tag: Embedded Control in IE keeps crasking... Tag: 82941

    - restoring window minimzed to the system tray? I have an app that minimizes itself to the system tray. It's also single instance; when a second instance is started, it just activates the first one and quits. When the first instance isn't in the system tray, I can use ShowWindowAsync() via interop to bring it to the front. When it's minimzed to the system tray, nothing seems to restore it back to a window. I've tried all the obvious variations of SW_SHOW, SW_RESTORE, etc. Has anyone gotten this to work?
