    - Q: Menu, Toolbar, DockingWindows free controls recomendation? Hello! Availability of different Win.Forms controls libraries makes choice hard, so I decided to ask community. I do look for libraries which would provide at least following functionality: Office 2003 command bar VS.NET docking windows One limtiation I have is that they need to be LGPL/MIT or any other open source licence based - which would allow for integration with simple commercial product. We do need to have full source code at our unlimited disposal. Using commercial solutions i.e. Infragistics, ComponentOne or others was ruled out after some tests and licence condition evaluations. Any suggestions? Cheers Jacek Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76757

    - Form.Close() returns void? Hi, At a certain point in my application, I have access to a Form object. I want to close that form: form.Close(); There are any number of reasons why this form might not close. A common reason might be that the user answered "No" when the form's OnClosing() override asked him "Are you sure you want to close this form?" It seems like Form.Close() should return a *bool* indicating whether or not the closure was successful. I can think of lots of tricky workarounds to get a hold of this value, but the fact that Close() isn't designed to return this crucial value directly makes me wonder if I'm using the wrong approach to close the form. Is there another method that I should consider? Thanks... Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76746

    - C++.Net Performance Hi Guys, I'm writing some addin modules for my C# app in managed C++.Net. I've noticed that managed C++ is slower than C#, or at least it seems to be. The startup for an empty form takes noticeably longer. Is this just a startup thing, or is there really a performance difference between C# and manged C++? James Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76745

    - Can I do this - Control Focus despite Tab Order ? Using the tab order in VB on a form works fine but to me it seems tedious (at times) to have to set or be concerned with the tab order. I can't seem to get a control to have focus on the load form event...am I doing something wrong or do I just need to control this thru tab order? TIA JB Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76741

    - Databound Combobox doesn't call SelectedIndexChanged event I have a databound drop-down-list style combobox that is databound to a dataset. Initially there are no items in the dataset/list. But when I later do a Fill on the dataset when data is present. When this happens, one item is added to the listbox and that item becomes selected. However, the SelectedIndexChanged event is not getting called. If I select the item again in the GUI, then the event does get called. Why isn't it getting called initially? I tried creating a basic combobox that is not databound and tried adding a single item to that list in code. The event gets called correctly in this case. So it apparently is just when the item is generated from the data binding that the event isn't called. Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76739

    - form spawning on its own I have a form that uses the UIP app. block for navigation. The app is a testing application. The first part is the tutorial test. The 2nd part is the actual test. Both parts share the same form. When I go from the tutorial to the test part, a new form is spawned by itself. This didn't used to happen. I think it started happening after I was working on a section that changes the current culture when a button is clicked. I'm not doing anykind of new() calls on the form, it just spawns automatically. Does anyone know any ideas to help figure out why? thanks a lot! Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76738

    - Adding Controls to a User Control at Design Time I posted this to ms.p.d.framework.windowsforms.controls but the only response was from somebody who had the same problem. Can anybody here give me any guidance - or suggest a more appropriate group? I am building a small control with two panels and a splitter. When I use the control in designing an app at design time I want to be able to add this control to my form and then drag other controls on to it to be contained within the panels. Although I can drag controls on to it they do not get 'captured' by it. I added a couple of properties so that the contained controls can be specified but I would rather go the drag and drop route. Any pointers or examples that you are aware of? Many thanks. -- Jeff Gaines - Damerham Hampshire UK Posted with XanaNews http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/d7xananews.htm Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76734

    - OCR with MODI Hi! I'm using MODI activex from Microsoft Office 2003 and Microsoft VB.NET to get the text from an OCR acquired image. Why after OCR the image, the MODI component rotate the image? Sometimes the MODI rotates the image 90 degrees and the OCR, obviously, can' t do its job. Any ideia why this is happening? There is my code: Dim miDoc As MODI.Document Dim miWord() As MODI.Word Dim strWordInfo As String Dim i, j As Long Dim str As String Dim Cont As Long Dim IMG As Long miDoc = New MODI.Document miDoc.Create("C:\MultiPage.tif") str = "" Cont = 0 IMG = miDoc.Images.Count - 1 miDoc.OCR(MiLANGUAGES.miLANG_ENGLISH, True, True) For j = 0 To IMG miDoc.Images(j).rotate(0) For i = 0 To miDoc.Images(j).Layout.Words.count - 1 ReDim Preserve miWord(Cont) miWord(Cont) = miDoc.Images(j).Layout.Words(i) Cont += 1 Next Next For i = 0 To miWord.Length - 1 str = str & " " & miWord(i).Text Next miDoc.Close(False) miWord = Nothing -- Cumprimentos, David de Passos -------------------------------------------------------------- RCSOFT, Lda.

    - Display Form I am new to VC++ and I have an issue. If I create a project and place a form on it, it compiles and runs, showing the form. However, when I add a form to some other project, the form does not show even though the host projects runs. Here's what I have: 1. I have a project (just for testing) called HelloWorld and it just prints "Hello, World". 2. I added a form using Project->Add New Item then under the Visual C++ folder I selected the "Windows Form (.NET)" template and give it the name "Test". 3. From there I #include "Test.cpp" (Test.cpp includes Test.h), built the project (it compiles successfully) and execute. 4. The program runs and prints "Hello, World" but the form does not show. What do I do here? Jazz Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76718

    - AppUpdater not working with webservice We're having some problems with the AppUpdater control. We're trying to call a web service from the OnCheckForUpdate event. The OnCheckForUpdate event works fine and returns a true/false and the UpdateUrl/Path to the server media. The problem is that the download does not occur after the OnCheckForUpdate successfully fires. We've got the AutoFileLoad=True, ChangeDetectionMode=DirectFileCheck, ValidateAssemblies=False, AutoStart=True, and DownloadOnDetection=True. I've also got the webservice folder(s) marked for directory browsing. I've included a snippet from the AppUpdater.log and AppUpdater.xml files.

    - Adding an 'internal' control to the toolbox. I frequently define internal UserControl-derived classes in my WinForms apps: internal class MyUserControl:UserControl{ ... } I'll often need to embed these controls in a Form, whose class is contained in the same assembly as the control. As far as I know, the only way to do this using the designer is to add the UserControl-derived object to the toolbox and then drag it from the toolbox to the target form. To accomplish this, I use the toolbox's Add/Remove Items functionality. When adding new UserControl(s) to the toolbox, the user is asked to choose an assembly containing the UserControl. I browse for and choose the assembly that I'm currently working on, call it /debug/MyAssembly.dll. The problem is that the toolbox is only prepared to accept UserControl items that are declared as "public," not those declared as "internal." For a variety of reasons, I'd much prefer to have UserControls declared as internal if I'm not exposing them to the outside world. The only workaround is to temporarily change the scope of the UserControl to public, recompile, Add the item to the toolbox, change the modifier back to internal, and recompile again. I then have access to the control from my toolbox. This clearly an ugly workaround. Do you know of an easier way to add internal controls to the toolbox? Thanks... Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76685

    - Printing Graphics.PageBounds not accurate Hi, I'm writing a check printing program that needs to put a MICR line 6/16" from the bottom of the page. Since the checks will be printed on a laser printer using letter sized paper the printable area is not actually 8 1/2" x 11". I'm using an HP LaserJet 4000 and it cannot print all the way to the physical page boundaries. It has the following limitations: Top Margin = 0.18" Left Margin = 0.25" Right Margin = 0.25" Bottom Margin = 0.28" The problem I'm having is the the graphics object being passed with PrintPageEventArgs is reporting its PageBounds property as the full physical page size (850, 1100) instead of (804, 1050). The other properties are as follows: Top = 0 Left = 0 Right = 850 Bottom = 1100 Width = 1100 Height = 950 I would have thought the PageBounds would be as follows: Top = 18 Left = 25 Right = 1075 Bottom = 822 Width = 1050 Height = 804 It appears the drawing methods in the graphics are scaling the e.Graphics.PageBounds to fit within the physical page bounds which makes it difficult to position gdi objects at exact physical locations on the printed page. In other words I can draw anywhere within the e.Graphics.PageBounds and the results are visible on the printed page. Is this a known bug in the .net printing or is it possibly a problem with my printer driver? Microsoft word does not have a problem determing what the physical bounds of the printed page are. Is there some other way to get the physical page bounds so that I can rescale the drawing points and rectangles? Thanks for your help, Gregg Walker Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76682

    - Tab Control ComboBox Here's one! I have a Tab Control that consists of 4 Tab Pages. These pages will be removed and added as needed as the user checks and unchecks certain checkboxes. On the Form_Load event, I am calling routines that populate the various ComboBoxes List's that are contained by these Tab Pages. When these Combo Boxes are populated, I initialize the text property with a 'String.Empty'. At this point, the Tab Pages have not been added to the Tab Control. Now, when the user adds a Tab Page to the Tab Control, such as : tabStaff.TabPages.Add(tbSystemUser) the text property is automatically being set the the first item in the list. This is what I DON'T want to happen. My Qutestions are: Why or How are these properties being set and How can I prevent it? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, Jeff Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76680

    - Can you intercept click event? Hello, I am trying to control tooltips in my winform. I want to only turn them on when the user chooses a menu item called WhatThe. When they do I change the form's cursor to Cursors.Help and activate the tooltip. The problem is I don't want the user to actually be able to interact with the form while in this state. If they click the mouse I want to intercept that event and set the form's cursor back to the default and deactivate the tooltip. Is there a way I can intercept all click and double click events on the winform? And if the cursor is currently set to Help cancel the event otherwise forward it on to what ever they were clicking on? I would also want to treat the keyboard the same way (if in help mode any keyboard event would take it out of help mode). thanks, Scott Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76654

I do it like that: if(System::IO::File::Exists(S"iexplorer.exe") == true) { .... } and it doesn't work - because "iexplorer.exe" isn't located in local folder but is declarated as global in system (global example: using CMD check "iexplorer.exe www.wp.pl" - this page starts correct). How can I get true/false does this exe file exist, using name of web browser executable file? ("iexplore.exe" or others execs) declarated as global ? Good day, thx for wrote. Tag: Form Minimize.

    - MDI application design Hello, I have created Application that has MDI interface. Indeed application works as it should, but I have question related to its design. Assume my application can change Zoom state of the opened document from the toolbar (toolbar for all opened document is the same). Which component of application should change this zoom: the main form where toolbar situated or this Document through the main form should change Zoom? I hope it's not complicated to understand :) Thanks Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76646

    - show dialog just after a form is shown Is there an equivalent of OnShow event for forms? I want to open a file open dialog immediately after my form is shown (modelessly). OnLoad and OnVisibleChanged do not suit me since it shows the file dialog before showing my form. Any ideas? Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76643

    - Selecting a combobox item when textchanged event fires... I have an odd problem with a combobox and selecting an item in it. I have a combobox that has handlers for both SelectedIndexChanged and also TextChanged. In the TextChanged handler, if the text matches one of the items in the combobox, the SelectedIndex for the combobox is set to that item. This fires the SelectedIndexChanged event which enables/disables some other controls. Seems pretty simple. However, when I then click my OK button and go to the form closing event handler, the SelectedIndex has been changed to -1. I have verified that I am not doing this anywhere in my code. If I simply select and item in the combo box, things work fine and SelectedIndex is not -1 when I get to the form closing event handler. There is something different between the two, but I have no idea what it is. I set the SelectedIndex programmatically and end up in the same SelectedIndexChanged handler, but the selection is lost sometime later. Any ideas? I'm stumped. Thanks, -- Greg Allen Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76639

    - SelectedListViewItemCollection problems Hi All, I understand that to get the items that are selected in a listview, you read the SelectedItems porperty of the list view. The type of this property is SelectedListViewItemCollection, and this type is meant to be defined in System.Windows.Forms.dll. But whenever I try use this type, I get compilation errors saying that the type SelectedListViewItemCollection is unknown. I have made sure that my solution has the System.Windows.Forms.dll in its references, and that I am using the correct using statement (using System.Windows.Forms;) but I still have this problem. I am using Framework 1.1. Does anyone know what the problem could be, or if there is any solution? Is there something wrong with my System.Windows.Forms.dll assembly? Thanks Tag: Form Minimize.

    - Distorted control position or form size under XP Hi, I'm developing a Win Form App under VS.NET 2003, Win2K English SP4, in VB.NET I have a form which have a datagrid (anchor left, top, bottom, right) in the middle of the form and a button (anchor bottom, right) placing at the right buttom corner of the form. The form display as expected in the deployed Win2K SP4 English and WinXP SP1 English machines. It was displaying correcly in WinXP Chinese SP1, until I changed the "WindowState" property of the form in designer to "Maximized". After that, when it is running in WinXP Chinese SP1, the datagrid area spread all over the bottom of the form, and hided the button at the right bottom corner of the form. The control cannot be displayed properly in that XP Machine even after I resize the form in run-time of that App. Anyone has encountered it before or any ideas ? Very much appreciated. Thanks!

    - Embedding Forms I would like to design a number of separate forms in Visual Studio, and then at runtime embed them into an area of another form (without borders and title bars of course). The forms will all be placed in the same area on the main form, and which forms are used is dependent on navigation choices made by the user. The container for the forms could be the main form itself, a panel on the main form, or a tab page on the main form. Can anyone point me in the direction of how this might be done? --Bruce Tag: Form Minimize. Tag: 76621

Hi Przemek,

You can check the WindowState from the SizeChanged event.
If it is Minimized, hide and show the notifyicon.

Happy Coding!
