    - How to combine AutoScroll and virtual content scroll I am a .NET newbie and started working on al user control, where one scroll dimension -- say horizontal -- moves the contained controls (like AutoScroll) and the other dimension leaves the controls sticky and updates the virtual content of the contained controls -- lets say some text boxes -- with .NET 2.0. I tried to use AutoScroll by setting ScrollableControl.AutoScrollMinSize.Height to the virtual content size and updating the content of my text boxes by using a Scroll event handler. But this also moved my text boxes vertically and I was not able to reset their location without introducing flickering. Question: Is there a way to make some contained controls remain sticky or is there a way to make to movement of the controls invisible? My second approach was to use manual scrolling. Besides that this approach introduces a lot more code and I had to do the layout manually, it introduced flickering of the scroll bars when resizing. I assume that this is introduced by the timig of layouting and control-repainting. With my first approach by using AutoScroll there was no flickering when resizing the control. Question: Is there a flicker save way to do layouting and painting of contained controls. Thanks in advance for any hints. But I want to do it purely using platform independent .NET code, so overriding WndProc or using P-Invoke is not an option for me. Tag: FlowLayoutPanel - Move Control (.NET 2.0) Tag: 95183

    - Fonts and Labels in a Windows Form Messed Up? I'm converting a .NET 2.0 Beta project to the final version using Visual Studio. In doing so, I've come across a strange problem with the fonts in my labels. To see the problem, I have an empty form with 2 labels, one "Timing Details:" and one "Package Details:" - each one Bolded. When viewing the form in design mode within Visual Studio, everything looks good - as expected. But when I run the form, the word "Details" in each of the two labels looks different. The second one looks scrunched up. Here's the guts of my form code - nothing out of the ordinary as far as I can tell: partial class Form1 { private void InitializeComponent() { this.packageDetailsGroupLabel = new System.Windows.Forms.Label(); this.timeDetailsGroupLabel = new System.Windows.Forms.Label(); this.SuspendLayout(); // // packageDetailsGroupLabel // this.packageDetailsGroupLabel.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((byte)(0))); this.packageDetailsGroupLabel.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(12, 47); this.packageDetailsGroupLabel.Name = "packageDetailsGroupLabel"; this.packageDetailsGroupLabel.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(163, 13); this.packageDetailsGroupLabel.TabIndex = 22; this.packageDetailsGroupLabel.Text = "Package Details:"; // // timeDetailsGroupLabel // this.timeDetailsGroupLabel.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((byte)(0))); this.timeDetailsGroupLabel.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(12, 9); this.timeDetailsGroupLabel.Name = "timeDetailsGroupLabel"; this.timeDetailsGroupLabel.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(163, 13); this.timeDetailsGroupLabel.TabIndex = 21; this.timeDetailsGroupLabel.Text = "Timing Details:"; // // Form1 // this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F); this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font; this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(220, 79); this.Controls.Add(this.packageDetailsGroupLabel); this.Controls.Add(this.timeDetailsGroupLabel); this.Name = "Form1"; this.Text = "Form1"; this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_Load); this.ResumeLayout(false); } private System.Windows.Forms.Label packageDetailsGroupLabel; private System.Windows.Forms.Label timeDetailsGroupLabel; } If you have any ideas, or would like to see a screenshot of what I'm talking about, please let me know.

    - Listen event on different thread and update data on UI thread Hi, I have a class in which I am receiving a event continuously at a great speed. I need to listen to that event and show it on the grid in the GUI. The problem is that the event is very very fast. How can I listen to this event in a separate thread. Then take the data and put it in the DataTable. I can send this DataTable back to the GUI thread where I have a windows form on which I have applied the grid control. Please let me know if I am not clear. Please help. Regards, Rajat. Tag: FlowLayoutPanel - Move Control (.NET 2.0) Tag: 95179

    - Visual Studio macro running as a STA thread Dear All, We have written a small set of dlls that contain some WinForms...we lauch these forms in Visual Studio using a macro. By default the macro thread is a MTA thread. Are there any issues if we make this thread an STA thread? I need this as an STA thread as the user wants to copy some elements from the grid in the clipboard. I don't want to create a separate STA thread for the copy functionality. Why is the macro thread an MTA thread? Is MS planning to change it back to STA thread? Please help Thanks in advance... Many regards Jack Tag: FlowLayoutPanel - Move Control (.NET 2.0) Tag: 95171

    - Is IMessageFilter only for .net windows?

    - Databound ListBox Won't Update on Clear? I have a ListBox control bound to an ArrayList: m_expressionFilters = New ArrayList m_expressionBindingManager = BindingContext(m_expressionFilters) lstboxFilters.DataSource = m_expressionFilters When I add an Item to the ArrayList, that change is immediately reflected in the ListBox: m_expressionBindingManager.SuspendBinding() m_expressionFilters.Add(CurrentFilter) m_expressionBindingManager.ResumeBinding() However, when I call the Clear method of the ArrayList, the changes are not reflected in the ListBox: m_expressionBindingManager.SuspendBinding() m_expressionFilters.Clear() m_expressionBindingManager.ResumeBinding() At this point, the m_expressionFilters ArrayList has a Count of zero, but the Items formerly held in the ArrayList are still listed on the form in the ListBox. I have tried calling the Refresh and Update methods on the ListBox, but that produced no visible changes at all. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    - crystal integration Using v1.1 of the .Net Framework, I added a Crystal Report item to my solution as an embedded resource. My problem is that when I drop a ReportDocument component onto my form, the window that prompts me to select a typed reportDocument does not include in its drop-down the embedded report that I added, and so I can't integrate the report into the form thru the crystalReportViewer.

    - Handling System Shutdown in a WindowsForms App Hi. I have an application that runs as a Tray Icon app with no visible window (most of the time) and right now, the system will not shut down while that app is running. I think I need to handle "SystemEvents.SessionEnded" or something to properly deal with that but I don't understand how, inside the code for my Main Form for the application, I set up a handler for the event and then what I actually DO with the event once it comes (though I assume I just do whatever I would normally do to exit my application grcefully).

    - ListView.tag lost object Hi, I have a Form with two ListViews; The ListViews are diplayed on the Design surface, but I progmatically adding the items to each ListView.

This works fine and the items are displayed. The problem arises when I respond to a SelectedIndexChanged event I can retrieve the .ToolTipText and .Text values from then SelectedListViewItemCollection but the .tag property is always empty (it knows the object type is GUID but does not have the value.

    - General Windows Forms and Memory Question I am seeing an interesting memory issue with a winform in my application. I've noticed everytime I show a form in my application, the memory usage increases. When I close the form, the memory isn't released. The only time the memory is released is when I "minimize" the application. Eventually, overtime, my application consumes a good amount of memory. Has anyone experienced this?

    - ClickOnce returns XML instead of starting application Hi I just deployed a ClickOnce Application to a Windows 2000 Server, which only has .NET 1.1 installed. When I launch the application via the auto generated html page I get the .Application XML back. I was expecting the application to launch. If I deploy the same SmartClient to my local XP machine with .NET 2.0, the applications installs and starts just fine. Am I missing something? Do I need to install .NET 2.0 on the Windows 2000 server, or do I need to register some MIME types on the server? If so, could you please provide a link (I can't find anything in the documentation... but I found place that said that I should be able to deploy to any HTTP 1.1 compliant web server). Please help.

The menu consists of two checkable menu items and one ToolStripTextBox . Now I want to display a simple caption on the left of the textbox. I cannot seem to find an easy possiblity to do this, altough this seems a very common scenario to me. After all, which programmer wants to just display a textbox without any caption?

    - TabControl.OnDrawItem Hello ppl! I am manually drawing tab items in a TabControl by using a handler attached to the DrawItem event on such control. I am using rectangles inside the Item's region for the background and drawing strings for text using the graphics object provided in the DrawItemEventArgs. I al also painting the aread just to the right of the last tab with another rectangle in the same DrawItem event. The form runs just fine and I can see the tabs asd intended on the initial load. However, as I move the form to either the left or right just beyond the screen, my painted rectangle simply dissapears or gets smeared. If the form is moved beyog the screen's upper or lower boundaries the rectangle gets painted again. This also happens if another window is on top of the tabcontrol. I tried timers for refreshing the control and the form. Tried also a refresh on the form on a Move event and managed to eliminate the problem is the form moves beyond the right screen boundary but still the same problem on the left boundary. Anyway I can work around this? Thanks in advance sampe code of the event handler: private void tabControl1_DrawItem(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs e) { Graphics g = e.Graphics; int lastTabIndex = this.tabControl1.TabPages.Count-1; System.Drawing.StringFormat textFormat = new StringFormat(); textFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center; textFormat.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center; textFormat.Trimming = StringTrimming.None; textFormat.FormatFlags = StringFormatFlags.NoWrap; Rectangle tabRect = this.tabControl1.GetTabRect(e.Index); Rectangle lastTabRect = this.tabControl1.GetTabRect(lastTabIndex); //filler rectangle beyond last tab g.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.Blue), lastTabRect.Right, lastTabRect.Top, this.tabControl1.DisplayRectangle.Width, lastTabRect.Height); //tab Item background g.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.Red), tabRect); //Item text g.DrawString(this.tabControl1.TabPages[e.Index].Text, e.Font, new SolidBrush(Color.White), tabRect, textFormat); } Tag: FlowLayoutPanel - Move Control (.NET 2.0) Tag: 95127

    - Splashscreen disappears I added a Splashscreen to my Windows Forms project. I specified it in Project - Application Tab - Splash screen. When I launch the project the splash screen turns up, which is fine. BUT then a NullReferenceException is thrown! I turned on "Break when an Exception is thrown" but it will not stop on a code line that is visible to me. My application uses a frmMain as start form. The frmMain code is enclosed by a Namespace. When I enclosed the SplashScreen code in the same Namespace and modified Project - Application Tab - Splash screen to point out the new full name, then the problem disappears, but so does the SplashScreen .......! As far as I can see there are no more settings I should have set to get it working. Tag: FlowLayoutPanel - Move Control (.NET 2.0) Tag: 95126

    - Control to graphically connect listviews (or treeviews) Hello. I'm lookin for a way to have two listboxes whose some elements can be connected graphically by an arrow. The arrows should 'move' as the listboxes scroll, 'following' the elements they are attached to. It should be similar to the relations fields in graphic representation of SQL queries (as in Visual Studio's Query Designer) I'd like to have a similar effect with two treeviews (whose element can connected by arrows, as in Biztalk Mapper) Does anyone know if there is a third party control that allow this?

    - Serializing/Deserializing from a Modal UI Editor I created a control that I derived from Windows Forms Control. I added one string property, which is the name of a file. This property is a Modal UI Editor property for which I provided a form named ShapeEditor. When the user presses the ellipsis in the Properties window of the control in the IDE, ShapeEditor is displayed and enables the user to draw shapes. The shape objects are collected in an ArrayList and then serialized to a file using a BinaryFormatter as follows. FileStream sw = new FileStream(ShapesFileName, FileMode.Create); ArrayList Shapes = new ArrayList(); // Create shapes and populate Shapes. .... Shapes.Add(ShapeObject); ..... // Then serialize bf.Serialize(sw, Shapes); // Deserialization is the reverse: Shapes = new ArrayList(); sr = new FileStream(ShapesFileName, FileMode.Open); BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter(); Shapes = (ArrayList)bf.Deserialize(sr); // Use objects foreach (ShapeObject s in Shapes) Here is the problem. When I invoke ShapeEditor from the properties window foreach (ShapeObject s in Shapes) fails with an invalid cast exception even though Shapes[0].GetType() returns a ShapeObject. However, if I invoke ShapeEditor from a running program, everything works fine(the same code is executed). It is as if the IDE is somehow interferring with the deserialization.

    - BindingSource vs. old binding I'm getting myself confused about the new BindingSource. In the old days I'd bind a combobox like this to show the "productName" field: DataSet ds = getDS(); cboX.DataSource = ds.Tables["Products"]; cboX.ValueMember = "productID"; cboX.DisplayMember = "productName"; Now I guess I can do this: BindingSource bs = new BindingSource(getDS(), "Products"); which sets the bs.DataSource and the bs.DataMember (ie the table within the dataset). But, how do I tell it what field to display when the table has multiple fields? There is no longer any DisplayMember or ValueMember property. Tag: FlowLayoutPanel - Move Control (.NET 2.0) Tag: 95105

    - Problem changing the size property in the Resize event I am trying to preserve the aspect ratio of a form when it is resized. To simplify the problem, I'm starting with a square form, and trying to keep it square when either the width or height is changed. My code is based on the example found in MSDN, July 2005, for the Control.Resize Event. Here is the relevant code: public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form { private Size _previousSize; /// <summary> /// Required designer variable. /// </summary> private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null; public Form1() { // // Required for Windows Form Designer support // InitializeComponent(); // // TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call // _previousSize = this.Size; } private void Form1_Resize(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Control control = (Control) sender; System.Console.WriteLine( "Height={0}\tWidth={1}", control.Size.Height, control.Size.Width); Size newSize; // Ensure the Form remains square (Height = Width). if (control.Size.Height != _previousSize.Height) { System.Console.WriteLine( "Height changed: oldSize={0}", _previousSize.ToString()); newSize = new Size(control.Size.Height, control.Size.Height); System.Console.WriteLine("newSize={0}\n", newSize.ToString()); _previousSize = newSize; // save new value for previous size control.Size = newSize; } else if (control.Size.Width != _previousSize.Width) { System.Console.WriteLine( "Width changed: oldSize={0}", _previousSize.ToString()); newSize = new Size(control.Size.Width, control.Size.Width); System.Console.WriteLine("newSize={0}\n", newSize.ToString()); _previousSize = newSize; // save new value for previous size control.Size = newSize; } } } My code writes some debugging data to the console. Here is the debugging data that is produced when I execute the Size command from the control menu of my form, and press the right arrow key three times. Height=300 Width=311 Width changed: oldSize={Width=300, Height=300} newSize={Width=311, Height=311} Height=311 Width=311 Height=300 Width=322 Height changed: oldSize={Width=311, Height=311} newSize={Width=300, Height=300} Height=300 Width=300 The first press of the right arrow key just starts the resize operation. On the second press of the key, the code changes the Height from 300 to 311. But on the third press of the key, the Height has changed back to 300 on entry to the Resize event. That is the problem. On the screen, the form alternates between increased sizes and its original size. Does anyone know what's causing this problem? Tag: FlowLayoutPanel - Move Control (.NET 2.0) Tag: 95104

    - Treeview Question I realize now that I most likely should have programmatically created my (many nodes) treeview instead of using the designer to add nodes. It was more convenient, but since each double-click of an item outputs different information, I really need to go back and forth between the name of each node and the output sub's Select Case statement - - That being said, - now I'm at a crossing point - - So - now I need to change over so that the entire tree is built programmatically in the form's load event.

    - DatagridView, Data Binding, New Row Hi! I have this scenario: I have a windows form. I have a DataGridView Control which is bound to a DataSource. Under the DataGridView I have texboxes which represent each one of the columns in the Datasource (also shown in the datagridview) As I move from row to row, the values of the textboxes (which are also bound to the datasource) change according to the value of each column of such row. That is perfectly normal. I have set the DataGridview not to allow user to add edit or delete rows so they must press a button to "Add New Row". How do I move (Or select) the row pointer to the New row (last row) such that the bound Textboxes point to the new row (showing empty values of course). In this way the user can type any value into the texboxes and therefore update the new row. Thanks! -- I love .NET! Tag: FlowLayoutPanel - Move Control (.NET 2.0) Tag: 95078

I get true as result, but the window does not come to foreground. As this doesn't work I tried with other window handles: IntPtr hWnd=process.Handle; or IntPtr hWnd=de.itools.util.Win32.ApiCalls.GetTopWindow( process.MainWindowHandle); or IntPtr hWnd=de.itools.util.Win32.ApiCalls.GetTopWindow( process.Handle); but with no success. It seems all these calls dont affect the window at all. TIA Frank Tag: FlowLayoutPanel - Move Control (.NET 2.0) Tag: 95077

    - Firing an event whenever a control is added Is there an event which fires whenever a control is added to a ControlCollection? There doesn't seem to be, but I'm wondering if there's a kludge anyone's come up with to spot whenever a control is added? Cheers, Andy D Tag: FlowLayoutPanel - Move Control (.NET 2.0) Tag: 95063

    - Greyed options in ListBox .NET 2.0 Hi folks, I have a situation where I might like to grey out certain options in a ListBox and hence make them unselectable. Does anyone know if this is possible? Comments are welcome, but I'm fully aware that I could just remove the options that I don't want selected, and in fact I may well just do that but it would make more sense for my application if I could leave them there but greyed out.

    - Using RichTextBox when having AcceptButton Hi, If I use a RichTextBox in a form with no buttons, the user can use <enter> for new line with no problem. If I have an AcceptButton in the form, the <enter> button will press the key instead of inserting a new line. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks! /Mats-Lennart Tag: FlowLayoutPanel - Move Control (.NET 2.0) Tag: 95059

Is there a way of changing the position of a control in a FlowLayoutPanel?
The only ways I can see is by systematically calling BringToFront on each
control in the right order or by pulling all the control out and ading them
back again in the correct order. Both these ways seem to me to be kludges.

TIA
