    - ObjectDisposedException - cannot access a disposed object called "Icon" I have some code using forms and ShowDialog that was previously working perfectly well, but now throws ObjectDisposedExceptions with message 'ObjectDisposedException - cannot access a disposed object called "Icon"' when ShowDialog is called.

    - DataGrid new Column Style not creating new rows correctly Dear All I am having trouble with my datagrid custom column style which shows a combo box. I have derived from a DataGridTextBoxColumn for simplicity. It is almost working exactly how I would like it to, but I have problems with the new row behaviour. I would really like it to behave in the same way as the DataGridTextBoxColumn when you work with new rows. Specifically, that means 1. If you click in the new row at the bottom of the data grid and then click away without editing the contents you do not get a new row added to the data source or the datagrid 2. If you click in the new row and edit the contents the changes are propogated to the underlying data source, and when you change the value you also get a "new" new row beneath the one you started editing in the data grid. I am having particular trouble with getting the datagrid to extend down and add the new, new row insertion at the bottom, beneath the new row that the user has just added. I hope this makes sense. If you play around with a data gird you can see what I mean from the point of view of the normal text box column style. What I want to know is how this is implemented so that I can replicate it in my code. I have a call to base.edit in my edit command but that is not enough ... If anyone can help me shed some light on this I would be very grateful. Regards David Smith Tag: Form.TransparencyKey causes form to disappear Tag: 100947

    - Viewport Question and Something not implementent? Hello, I am using .NET 2.0 and building a custom control. There are multiple graphics elements that I would like to render on the surface. When drawn together they form the complete control image but need to be managed separately because they might have different scale, units, move indendently, and are updated at different times for different reasons. My idea was to maintain several buffers or graphics objects that I could use draw into and load images as they needed updating. Because the total image is larger then the control - I was planning to copy regions of the larger in memory images onto the control surface - like a viewport. Because of how the images need to be scrolled I cannot use the Autoscroll feature of the UserControl. I am very familiar with how to do this in unmanaged C++ but am not sure the best way in .NET 2.0 - the best type of objects to maintain the managed graphics and the best way to copy a region of them to the UserControl surface as the user scrolls. I could use Image, Bitmaps, or Graphics objects but there are limitations (and what I think might be performance hits) with the numerous conversions that would be required. I would prefer not go to DirectX as I don't think my performance needs are that high. Any suggests / best practices? Also, When I first ran the following line of code I got a NotImplementedException thrown: e.Graphics.DrawImage(m_GridPlane, m_DestRect, sourceRect, GraphicsUnit.Inch); Just as a test I changed it to GraphicsUnit.Pixel and although the painting was obviously wrong - it worked. There is no mention of this not being implemented in the docs - am I missing something? Any suggestions? THANKS!! Tag: Form.TransparencyKey causes form to disappear Tag: 100945

    - Zoom effect on winforms Hi there, I have a custom control which i want it to draw ina rectangle a picture and i have two buttons to do zoom in and zoomm out. I want that when i click on one of these buttons make a zoom on the drawing to see with more detail a region of it and scrollbars appear in the sides of teh control to navigate through the image. I have derived my control from Scrollablecontrol becuase i jave read that this is the way to acomplish the use of scrollbars but i cant see the way of making the virtual "clientrectangle" smaller than the display rectangle without actually resizing the control. Anyone knows some book that explains how to acomplish this?or knows how to do this? thanks. Tag: Form.TransparencyKey causes form to disappear Tag: 100939

    - MDI App without parent form Hi. Does anyone know how to create a visual studtio type GUI using C#.Net. I.e. an MDI application, but where there is no real parent form, rather a set of floating, dockable child forms that will 'stick' together, etc.? I'm waiting for VS.Net 2005, so I don't have VS installed at the moment, otherwise I'd play around in the IDE and try and work something out.

    - ToolStripComboBox Mimimum Width With .NET 2.0, insert a ToolStrip onto a form and add a ToolStripCombobox item. I don't know if I'm flat out missing something, but I cannot set the width of a toolStripCombobox any smaller than 75. It just seem ridiculous. toolStripComboBox2.Size = new Size(35, 25); When you execute that line of code, you can see it flash that it resizes it down to 35, but then immediately gets resized back up to 75. The same thing happens in the designer. I cannot find any other documentation or posts on this. Hopefully I'm missing something or doing something stupid. Can someone confirm this width problem.

    - Caching Smart Client Lookup Data Hi, We're currently developing a smart client application. It is a WinForms UI that uses WebServices to retrieve data from an Oracle database. The application will have several forms that will use a relatively static set of tables for populating drop-down lists. I'm thinking that caching the data from these tables on the client side, as opposed to bringing them through the Webservice every time would improve application performance to some degree. I'm just wondering if the Caching Application Block is the best route to take for caching static data or is there another recommended approach. The application itself will not be set up to run offline, so I only need limited caching capabilities. Thanks Tag: Form.TransparencyKey causes form to disappear Tag: 100905

    - Combobox does not accept key stroke Hi I am using .net 2.0 windows forms. I have a combobox with following properties. DropDownStyle : DropDown AutoCompleteMode : SuggestAppend AutoCompleteSource: Listitems Now When I run the form and go to the combobox and type something it works just fine. combobox suggest items as well. If user does not select anything from combobox and hit submit button, I am populating datagridview with all data. Now when user select any item from combox and hit submit button i am populating datagridview for that specific item. The problem is user can type into the dropdown and dropdown suggests the item as long as someone clicks submit button first time. As soon I populate the datagrid first time, I can not type anything into the combobox. I want user to type into the combobox and select items at any time. Its kinda strange. I would highly appreciate if someone can help me here. thanks Tag: Form.TransparencyKey causes form to disappear Tag: 100902

    - Custom windows form border, TransparencyKey Flicker Hello, I've got a question regarding a small amount of flicker I am seeing when a form is first drawn that has a transparent background. I have a custom panel that I'm drawing myself which takes up all of the client area of a form (rounded corners, gradients etc). I have set the background color and the transparencykey of the container form to the same values. Everything draws and looks great however right before the form is displayed I see a black flicker or flash right before the form is rendered. It's a really really quick flash. Is there anyway to get around this? I've tried just a blank form and setting the transparency key and the backcolor to the same values with the same result. thanks, bp Tag: Form.TransparencyKey causes form to disappear Tag: 100901

    - ListView selection I have a ListView control, and anytime I manually set the selected item, the original item OnSelectedIndexChanged event fires twice. Here is a sample of what I am doing in the OnSelectedIndexChanged function: if ( listView1.SelectedItems.Count == 1 ) { MessageBox.Show( "index = " + listView1.SelectedIndices[0].ToString() ); if ( isinternal ) return; isinternal = true; if ( last >= 0 ) // last is the last selected index { MessageBox.Show( "Not Shown" ); //behaves regardless if the next line is present listView1.SelectedItems.Clear(); listView1.Items[0].Selected = true; } last = listView1.SelectedIndices[0]; isinternal = false; } else if ( listView1.SelectedItems.Count == 0 ) { } I have 4 items in my ListView. Assume I select index 4. I should see message boxes in this order: index = 4 Not Shown index = 0 However, I really see index = 4 Not Shown index = 0 index = 4 Not Shown index = 0 If I don't manually set the selected index to 0, the control behaves as expected. Why does manually setting the selected index cause this behavior? How can I manually set this index and avoid this behavior? Thanks in advance for your help!

    - RichTextBox Control Captures Shortcut Keys in Regular Windows App but Fails to Capture in an MDI App? Hello All, First, I apologize for posting this to so many newsgroups but I wasn't sure which newsgroup was most appropriate nor which newsgroup would most likely have subscribers that have done this or would have the answer. That said, below is a description of my problem: If I create a standard Windows executable in C# or VB.Net and place a RichTextBox control on the main form, the control captures standard shortcut keys as expected (i.e. Ctrl-V, Ctrl-X, etc.). However, if I add an MDI parent form to the project, make the original form a child form to this parent MDI form and display the original form, the RichTextBox control no longer captures these shortcut keys. Can someone please tell me what is necessary to correct this behavior? Thanks & Regards, TC Tag: Form.TransparencyKey causes form to disappear Tag: 100865

    - Application Settings I'm just venting. I finally got around to converting a big WinForms app for my biggest client to .NET 2.0. I've heard all along that application settings are now writable, which has always been one of many bones of contention with .NET 1.1 for me. So I get to the point where I am going to convert my custom settings mechanism, do a little investigation, and find out the reason I made a custom configuration file mechanism hasn't changed at all. Sure - you can write user setttings, and settings are type safe now, but the application scope settings are still read-only. (If anybody knows a reasonable workaround that works within the framework for this, I'd like to hear it). I certainly understand MS's reasoning for making them read-only, but I'm more of the mind that in "most cases" the application settings shouldn't/wont need to be written. However, to prevent it altogether is simply stupid, imho. I feel like I'm old enough to be responsible for my own actions by now. I do like the new stuff for user settings and for application settings that don't change, so I'm actually going to use the new stuff for all of that. However, I have one setting that all users must be able to change, and must be the same for all users. I had a custom configuration file, and I allowed write access to its containing folder on installation. I may move this value to the database for now. Or, Gawd Forbid, the Registry! Don't get me started on generic collections! Ok, I'll start, but just barely... Ha! Have you seen the Find() or Exists() method on List? Here's the code to find '6' in a list of ints: List<int> myInts = new List<int>(); myInts.Add( 0 ); myInts.Add( 1 ); myInts.Add( 2 ); myInts.Add( 3 ); int n = myInts.Find( delegate(int x) { x==6; } ); // seems rather obtuse to Find(6), doesn't it? This returns '0'! Ha! int m = myInts.Find( delegate(int x) { x==0; } ); // This returns '0' too! I tried deriving my own collection, and quickly found that two values of type T cannot be compared. I'm sure there's a good reason for this - I just hope there's a better workaround eventually. It makes me wish for the days #define! Even though that's just the tip of the tip of the iceberg of my complaints, I still like it (2.0 that is). It's definitely a step in the right direction.

    - How can I make a modeless form receive input when a modal form is open? >From my main form, I can open and access a modeless form. However, if I then open a modal form (from the main form), the modeless form will no longer accept keyboard and mouse input until the modal form is closed. Is there a way to allow the modeless form to continue to receive input? As an example, Windows Notepad does this.

    - Problem with no touch deployment of application which has dynamically loaded assemblies We have an application which dynamically loads an assembly and creates instances of classes. For this we have written a factory class which reflects the assembly and creates the classes and returns the created objects as plain objects. The caller method casts the object returned by the object factory into appropriate class object and uses it. All this works fine when exe is invoked directly. But when the application is deployed on the IIS for no touch deployment, the casting of the object returned by the object factory is throwing an invalid cast exception. Strange thing is that the statement that is causing exception during run time works fine if executed in the Immediate window of the VS.Net IDE. How do I fix it?

    - Customization In Web Application All, Using VS 2005, C#.NET, SQL Server 2005, W2K3. We are developing a web application that would be shared by numerous customers for information management. Some of those customers want variations on the usual form layout. For example, we have a form where the user can enter their dependents information (parents, siblings, spouse, kids, etc.), but we know one of our customers wants to include additional information on that form that none of the other customers would use (company specific insurance coverage). Based on our experience with our C/S version of the product, we can expect to see many more requests like this. There are 3 ways to do this that I see. 1. Create a separate web application for that customer and host it on a different web server. 2. Add the custom fields to the single web application but hide the extras based on the customer using it. 3. Allow the customer to add the fields themselves and store them for just that customer. Pros and cons that I see. 1. Quick to implement, but costly in new infrastructure, and would end up difficult to maintain. 2. Still relatively quick to develop, and uses existing infrastructure, but would create complex forms. 3. Difficult to develop, but would use existing infrastructure and wouldn't need extra maintenance. Personally, I'd like to use 3. That is... Design the application so that each form includes standard fields, but a customer can add new labels, textboxes, drop-down combos, lists, etc., themselves and doing so doesn't require us to change any code or the database schema. While this would be a no-brainer in an C/S application, it gets a little more difficult in a web app since the only client they use is a browser. Any thoughts?

    - Form -> Panel -> Child Form -> Resize -> Bug? I'm using the following code to show/hide a form located inside a panel that is located on my main form. The panel is set to DockStyle.Fill so that when the main form is resized the panel is also resized. The problem is that the included child form never resizes beyond it's initial starting size. Don't child forms respect the DockStyle setting during resize of parent controls? If I take out the commented lines of code it works - but of course it looks like crap while doing it. Button click event: if (f2 == null) { f2 = new Form2(); f2.TopLevel = false; this.pnl_childform.Controls.Add(f2); } if (!f2.Visible) { f2.Show(); f2.BringToFront(); f2.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; //f2.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized; //f2.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; } else { f2.Hide(); } Tag: Form.TransparencyKey causes form to disappear Tag: 100792

    - AD Replication Problem Hello All, I recently restored two of my Windows 2003 domain controllers from a backup. They were backed up using Symantec LiveState Recovery 6.0. Everything seemed to be just fine, but just recently I noticed that AD Replication is not working. I've received Event id: 13559 Source: NtFrs. I did some research and tried what's suggested at the following link http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=13559&eventno=657&source=NtFrs&phase=1 That doesn't seem to resolve my problem, after creating the NTFRS_CMD_FILE_MOVE_ROOT file with no extension in C:\winnt\sysvol\domain, and running "net stop ntfrs" and then "net start ntfrs" I notice much diff. I did get Event Id: 13508 Source: NtFrs. Also, I can see both the servers in Sites and Services. But when I try to manually replicate i get "The Source server is currently rejecting replication requests" Does anywhere know how I resolve this issue? It's causing major issues for me and I need to figure it out ASAP. Last thing I wanna do rebuild any of the servers! Please HELP! -- Raghbir Flora Network Administrator Tag: Form.TransparencyKey causes form to disappear Tag: 100790

    - Problem with Waiting Form Owner I have a process that take some time to process data in formA. While processing the data I wish to pop a "waitingform". The waiting form have it's own thread and show the process advancing between 0 and 100%.There is a timer within the Waitingform, on each tick the progress percentage is read and display, also this reflect that the program is still running. When the processing finish, the waiting form just close. I have done everything and it's work well except for one thing. I wish the waiting form to be modal and own by the main form. If I set the waitingform owner : WaitingForm->Owner = FormA The waitingform doesn't appear before the data process finish, the form disappear as soon as it appear. If I dont set the owner, the waitingform works as expected, but can be lost behind other windows, and user may believe there is a problem when it's not. I use multiple threads in my application. The data processing thread is not the same as formA nor the same as the Waitingform. Does someone have an idea how I can set the ownership of the waiting form and still keep the behavior i wish?

    - Best way to organize large project I am working on rewriting a Fox 7 ODBC app. and teaching myself .NET in the process. So far I have over 130 of the screens rewritten, but debug performance is terrible. It would be much better if I had each screen as seperate solutions, but then I'm constantly having to remove and readd references which became way too much hassel. So currently my solution has the 130+ projects included. But when I start debugging it rebuilds EVERYTHING! eventhough I haven't changed a single thing!! I can play a hand of Solitaire before it finally starts executing. Not finding this situation very productive at all!!! Is there an option that can be set to only rebuild changed modules? Or has the size of my application exceeded the capability of .NET? It sure is looking that way. Or how should an application of this size be organized? The two ways I've discovered each have serious flaws and I'm seriously wondering about the feasibility of developing large application in .NET. -- Message posted via DotNetMonster.com http://www.dotnetmonster.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/winform/200605/1 Tag: Form.TransparencyKey causes form to disappear Tag: 100759

    - capture application output Hi, How can I capture the text output of a console app? For example, I would like to capture the outpur of "qwinsta" Thanks. Tag: Form.TransparencyKey causes form to disappear Tag: 100746

I found that when setting the TransparencyKey on a form and use certain
programs like Gadwin Printscreen or Virtual Magnifying Glass the form
disappears entirely. It does not matter what color I use as a key,
just using the TransparencyKey causes this behavior.

Has anyone else noticed this and is there a workaround?
