    - Can Microsoft sue me? I'm designing GUI for my WinForm and I really liked the Outlook 2003 so I stared to put list view in a middle, IE control on right and I developed similar bar that outlook 2003 have on the left. This software is to be into Electrical Industry has nothing to do with messaging, still it looks very familiar to outlook...(someone who is used outlook before wouldn't have problem navigating) now the question. Can I get into trouble by using MS design? Main question: can you use the MS design (the controls layout) in your software? Or do you need special permissions for that?? Thanks in advance Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59605

    - App.EnableVisualStyles kills my Toolbar icons I am calling Application.EnableVisualStyles() before calling Application.Run() as prescribed. I have a Toolbar control docked at the top of the main program's window. This control is attached to an ImageList control set for 16x16 bit icons. When the main window displays there are no icons displayed on the toolbar buttons. If I run the app without calling EnableVisualStyles the toolbar button icons display properly. Any ideas? Thanks.

    - Anchor problem on dynamic form I have a form inside my application (mdi child) to which I add a varying number of custom display objects at runtime. To do this, I suspend layout, add the items, and then resume layout. I am having a problem with the header image of the page. Since the form is resizable, I am trying to anchor a picturebox to the top of the form. When I do this, the image is drawn off center by 100 pixels to the left or so (and moves with a resize). If I anchor it top and left, it works fine but is not centered in the screen (and does not move with a resize, as one would expect). Has anyone seen this type of behavior? Thanks in advance. -Rob Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59596

    - Bizarre bug: Can't close form Hi, One day, when I was testing my application, I tried to use the main form's close button to exit it, but it didn't work. I right-clicked the taskbar's icon and used the close menu item, but it didn't work either. I stopped execution and added an exit menu item (using Form.Close(); the application is in the early stages of development), but it also didn't work when I ran it again. What's wrong? I haven't done anything out of the ordinary to prevent the form from closing! Here is the form's code. I'm still using VB.NET 2002 & .NET 1.0. Help!

    - .NET Framework 1.0 Validating event bug? Hi, I'm putting together an app where I need to be able to stop the user from switching focus from a control (e.g. a DataGridTextBox) if the value in the box is bad. I have a test app where I dump out a log message on all the standard events (enter/leave/validating/validated, etc.). When I'm in a DG cell and enter a bad value (checked during Validating and set e.Cancel = true), I've found that events past Validating continue. In this case, the DG's MouseDown handler is called, then a whole bunch more entering and leaving (including of the original textbox and ultimately the bad value is sent through ColumnChanging on the DataTable under the grid. Any idea why Validating doesn't seem to stop the event progression? Setting Cancel = true stops the Validated event from showing up, but does nothing about the MouseDown and later stuff. Are there known bugs in .NET 1.0 about this? I was unable to find anything in searching the MSDN Knowledge Base and various Google references. Any help (including "it works in 1.1, use that") would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks, Dave Combs combs@edgedynamics.com Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59586

    - disabled toolbar button images An exhaustive search of all dotnet groups seems to indicate that no one has been able to solve the problem of disabled toolbar button images providing a grey box or some other lame appearance. Has anyone been able to solve this? From the postings it sounds like it may have something to do with the imagelist transparency color, the imagelist color depth, and possibly the original image file color depth. Anyone? Scott.

    - Control Names in the designer I have a control with a property of type collection with a special editor that lets me select controls from the available controls on the form. When clicking the "..." on that property, I build a list of all the controls in order to show what's available. I'm using the .Name property of each control on the form. The problem is with "my" controls as opposed to the dotNet controls. If I have a TextBox on the form and I change it's name in the property window, then the next time I view the list of controls I see the new name. But when I do the same with "my" control (which inherits either from Control or from UserControl) the name isn't changed. Has anyone seen this behaviour ? Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59584

    - Picturebox and icons bug? Hi, I've come across a strange problem when using the Picturebox to display an 32x32 pixel Icon file. When first setting the "SizeMode" property to "StretchImage", it seems to work properly (i.e. the Icon is displayed with the full 32x32 resolution). However after closing and opening the form designer, the image seems to revert back to 16x16 resolution which looks horrible when stretched to the 32x32 pixel size of the picturebox. Here's the steps I used to recreate this problem. 1) Add a picturebox to a form 2) Make it's size 32x32 3) Assign an .ico file to the picturebox's Image Property. 4) Set the "SizeMode" property to "StretchImage". Notice how the icon uses the full 32x32 resolution. 4) Save and close the form designer. 5) Reopen the form designer - the icon now looks crap with its 16x16 resolution stretched to 32x32 I'm using VB.net in Visual Studio 2003 and .net framework 1.1 Any help anybody can give would be much appreciated.

    - Screen Resolution, Form Size, and Scrolling I recently discovered that if you attempt to set the size of a Form using any method (SetBounds,Size,Width,Height,FormDesigner...), and the size is bigger than the screen resolution, .NET will secretely ignore or override your value with a value close to resolution of the screen. This is creating many problems because I have a custom-drawn Form which has a static size but needs to be scrollable at different screen resolutions. Does anyone know a way around this, or why it does this in the first place? Another strange thing I noticed is that in form designer, If you set AutoScroll to true it will secretly override IsMDIContainer and set it to False, and vice versa. Can anyone verify this? And does this make sense to anyone at all? Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59509

    - Databinding question I have a user control that I drop to windows forms. I also have typed dataset that is defined in the windows form project. I want to bind the textboxes within the usercontrol to a datatable field in this typed dataset. I found the following old posting on this issue. But what happens is, this property is not written to codebehind of the form if it's set. So when I run the program it clears the binding info. What do I have to do to make this work? /* Hello Colin, You can export the DataBindings property of the child control via property. Since the DataBindings property is read only, you may need to write some code to handle set method of the property. This is a sample code: public System.Windows.Forms.ControlBindingsCollection textBindings { set { System.Windows.Forms.ControlBindingsCollection bindings; bindings = (System.Windows.Forms.ControlBindingsCollection)value; textBox1.DataBindings.Clear(); foreach(Binding b in bindings) textBox1.DataBindings.Add(b); } get { return textBox1.DataBindings; } } Hope it helps.

    - Zero-touch deployment and grids I'm looking for a good grid control for Windows Forms. Seems easy, right? Well, I've got a couple of requirements: 1. My app needs to run over zero-touch deployment without throwing a SecurityException, and none of the third-party grids I've tried (Xceed GridControl, ComponentOne C1FlexGrid and C1FlexGridClassic, and DevExpress XtraGrid) can do this. (I understand the issues here -- just try making a competitive, full-featured grid control without ever overriding WndProc or using P/Invoke! -- but I can't use any of them for this app as it's currently planned. Yes, I know about modifying security policy, but if there are any alternatives I'd like to investigate them first.) 2. I need to be able to put text into the row headers (similar to the row numbers in Excel). This text needs to be a genuine row header, i.e., non-editable and non-scrolling, always visible even if the user scrolls to the right. (In other words, I need fixed columns in addition to the fixed rows. If you've ever used the StringGrid or TMS grid for Delphi, you'll know exactly what I mean.) Requirement #2 seems to immediately disqualify the Windows.Forms.DataGrid, unless someone can point me in the right direction there. (In fact, it eliminates some of the third-party grids too, which is sad. Too many datagrids, not enough *grids*.) Ideally, I'd like a grid that also: 3. Doesn't have to use databinding at all, but instead fires an event when it needs data for a cell (and fires another event when the user has made edits that need to be saved). I can use databinding if I must, but I'd rather have a proper owner-data grid. (AFAIK, I can't bind to custom business objects, because I don't know at compile time how many columns there will be.) Does anyone know of any controls that would fit these criteria? This app's needs (numeric editing, for the most part) are simple enough that I could probably write my own grid if I had to, but I'm not sure my boss wants me to spend that much time on it. <grin> Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59506

    - SOLUTION: smart client deploy webservice Here's a way to dynamically set the URL of a webservice when you deploy a smart client to a production environment. Create the class below. Then add this code to the constructor of your WS proxy: ConfigWsUtil.ConfigWsUrl(this); ======================================================== using System; using System.Reflection; using Microsoft.Web.Services; using System.Security.Policy; namespace MyNamespace { public class ConfigWsUtil { public static void ConfigWsUrl(WebServicesClientProtocol service) { UriBuilder uriOld = new UriBuilder(service.Url); UriBuilder uriNew = new UriBuilder(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase); // if uri is http or https scheme, update the url of the webservice to the new root path if (String.Compare(uriNew.Scheme.Substring(0,4), "http", true) == 0) { uriOld.Scheme = uriNew.Scheme; uriOld.Port = uriNew.Port; uriOld.Host = uriNew.Host; } service.Url = uriOld.Uri.ToString(); } } } ======================================================== Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59505

    - Winform Application Architecture books / web pointers needed Hi, I am looking for book / web recommendations on writing complex data-centric Winform Apps, preferably in C#. By complex I mean apps that can't be brute-force created by simply dragging and dropping datagrids, comboboxes and SqlDataAdapters on a few forms in VS.Net 2003, because there are simply too many forms, too many datasources and because the application logic is complex. I am not looking for a book on Hello, World, or how to use / create the wincontrols or c# basics such as delegates, classes and so forth. I am looking for resources with information on: - How to use design patterns specific to UI workflow/orchestration - How to make the app extensible. - How to share responsibilities / data / flow control between classes / components / controls. For example, if I know I will need a ComboBox with a list of countries in many forms, perhaps many times per form, and that the countries data will also be needed in many other parts of the application (perhaps in an sql join), who should retrieve and own the country table? Main()? The main form class? Another component? How should the combobox get that information? Constructor? Property? Event? Another example. The main area of the main form represent the main entity (e.g. Key account, contact, project). The switch to the KeyAccount entity/winform control implies the following: menu changes, status bar changes, "Action panel" change, new tab control containing many related grid lists (documents, appointments) and so forth. Suppose also that these related grid lists should be used by many main entities ( e.g. document list also for projects, contacts, .) Who is responsible for what? Where/how does one class/component/control get adequate information (e.g. KeyAccountID for related grid list, Actions for the Action Panel)? If you know of books/web resources which touch these subjects, I would be very, very grateful. Thanks, Cedric. Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59503

    - No Response When Opening a .EXE Via HTTP We have a 1.1 Windows Forms App deployed on our intranet using no touch deployment. The strange thing is on some machines nothing happens when the URL is invoked from IE. (http://server/app1/app.exe say). On other machines it works fine when invoked that way. However, strangely running the URL using IEExec.exe always runs the App. (ieexex http://server/app1/app.exe) Any ideas as to why it does not run always on IE? Security is not an issue since we granted FullTrust for the StrongName of the EXE. Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59497

    - Print Dialog from Print Preview How can I trap when the user clicks the print button(icon) in the PrintPreviewDialog box, so I can display a PrintDialog? I need to be able to display the dialog so the user can select which printer to print to as well as what page range to print. Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59496

    - Date not recognized - strange behaviour in DateTime.Parse Dear Gurus, I have a strange problem. Following code is working with no problems on 10 different computers but only on one specific Win2K PC, it is not working for a specific user ID. The problem is very strange. Look at the code first: DateTime myCreationDate; object myDate = myOleDbReader.GetDateTime(myOleDbReader.GetOrdinal("CreationDateTime")); if (myDate!=null) { myCreationDate = DateTime.Parse(myDate.ToString()); } else { myCreationDate = DateTime.MinValue; } Now this code snippet gives me an Exception on "DateTime.Parse" function that says "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime". But it works on 10 of the 11 Computers and even on this 11th computer it DOES work with all other user IDs except only one user. Everything is same. I did some research and found an interesting thing. The date value stored in Database is "4/2/2003 6:10:00 PM". Now for all the working users, the myReader.GetDateTime() function gives me the same string and it parses correctly but on that one PC for that one user what I get is "4/2/2003 18:10:00 PM" that gets an exception while parsing. I don't know why it is showing 18 instead of 6 just for that one user on this specific PC. Is there any setting that I need to check for this user. PS: This user is a network domain user and I checked with other domain users, it works perfectly allright with other domain and local users. Thanks in advance. -Manoj Misran mmisran@ekomcorp.com Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59492

    - Databindung to custom properties I have created a custom textbox class and want to bind a new property to the datasource. Databinding works fine for reading the data but does not work for updating. Here the code for the property and the event of my custom textbox; public event EventHandler Text2Changed; private string text2 =""; public string Text2{ get{return text2;} set{ if ( text2 != value ){ text2 = value; if (Text2Changed != null){ Text2Changed(this, EventArgs.Empty); } } } In my form i set the databinding as follows: textbox1.Databindings.Add("Text", dataSet11.Customers, "CompanyName"); textbox1.DataBindings.Add("Text2", dataSet11.Customers, "ContactName"); In the click event of a button i set the Text2 property to "MyContact". The event Text2Changed in the set of the Text2 property is raised, but the datasource is not updated. Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59486

    - Toggling Toolbar Text Troubles I wanted to provide a simple "Toolbar Text" command that would toggle the display of text underneath my toolbar buttons. I was a little disappointed not to find a property on the ToolBar itself to control the display of button text, but ok..., it's not too hard to run through the button collection and set/clear the text as needed. However... If I start the buttons off with no text and have the toolbar set with AutoSize = true then adding button text works like a charm. The buttons all display their text, they are resized and the toolbar is resized. But if I start the buttons off with text and, again, have the toolbar set with AutoSize = true then removing button text does *not* cause the buttons to resize, nor the toolbar to resize and a large gap is left at the bottom of the toolbar where the text was. Is this a known bug with the .NET ToolBar control or am I missing something? Thanks in advance. -- TB Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59483

    - How would I create a page that I want to create a page where the user would enter in information (using say 10 text boxes) and then once they are done, clicking a next button would update a table shown in the bottom half of the page. I understand a little bit about using Datagrids, if someone could point me in the right direction, that would be appreciated. T Tag: Form Resize Tag: 59478

Hi,

When i do a dock change (meaning changing a component's
docking property) the screen flickers. Is there a way to
control flickering effect and provide a smooth resize.

Thanks,

Hi,

Try calling SuspendLayout() before changing the Dock value and calling
ResumeLayout() just after you've changed the Dock value.
