    - PropertyGrid Hi all Could some onne point me to the right direction please? I am trying to create a new PropertyGrid derived class and add a new property tab on it. Put it on a form and use it as a customised property display of any selected object. I have found no suitable method to add a PropertyTab in the PropertyTabCollection of the PropertyGrid. I have tried using the PropertyTabAttribute on a target object's class definition, but that doesn't work either. Surely I am missing something obvious. Thanks RK Tag: Form's Location Tag: 56084

    - listview item looses forecolor Hello All, I have a listview item on listview with the property HideSelection set to False. I set the listview item forecolor to green and set the font to be bold. When the listview loses its focus, the listview item that was selected looses its color (goes back to default black), preserving its boldness. I want to keep the forecolor, even upon lost focus Is this a known bug?? Can anyone help?? Thx Iris Tag: Form's Location Tag: 56056

    - Cancelling current activity in progress indicator Hi all, in my application I want to implement a progress indicator which has 'Cancel' button allowing to interrupt the current activity. What is the best way to do such a thing? I'm considering the following variant: The progress indicator is created on demand on the separate thread and stored in the local memory of the thread that has initiated its creation ('initiating thread'). The progress indicator also stores a reference to the initiating thread. When a user clicks 'Cancel' button, a delegate is executed on the initiating thread that throws an exception, so that it can be handled somewhere on the initiating thread. The purpose of creating progress indicator on a separate thread is that it will be unable to handle windows messages (like clicking 'Cancel') if it is created on the initiating thread. Am I right or I'm reinventing the wheel and there is an easier way? I would prefer simpler design, but I'm not competent enough in WinForms to figure it out. Thanks in advance, Dmitry Tag: Form's Location Tag: 56042

In the If statement: control is to the left of the autoscroll position. The ElseIf: control is to the right of the autoscroll position. This works fine on all controls that do not reposition themselves automatically. They are all invisible before reposition. Could it have something to do with the ZOrder.

    - How do I support MouseHover over different TreeNodes in one TreeView? I have a TreeView with more than one TreeNode. I would like to do something like set a ToolTip during a MouseHover event. Unfortunately, since TreeNodes don't generate events. The TreeView owns the MouseHover event, but it generates only one event per session of moving from TreeNode to TreeNode. I could move most of my logic into the MouseMove event, but I don't want to recalc everything everything on every MouseMove over the TreeView, as it could slow down the mouse motion. I greatly prefer the delay the MouseHover event gives me. Ideally, there would be a way that I can cause subsequent MouseHover events to be generated after a MouseMove event over a different node from the last MouseHover event. Is there something?

    - Force bound control to post value to DataSet? In my project, the previous author is trapping the SelectedIndexChanged event for a bound ComboBox control, and within that event handler, he's updating other items in the DataSet manually, which has the nefarious side effect of causing the bound control's value to be reset value to what it was before the user made a selection (and then it's SelectedIndexChanged event fires again). Is there an elegant way within the SelectedIndexChanged event for a bound ComboBox control to take the current selection in the control and post it to the DataSet? Assume: ds is the DataSet object dv has been assigned ds.Tables(0).DefaultView MyComboBox has been bound to "Column1" within dv Desired change to process: 1. User changes selection in MyComboBox control 2. MyComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged fires * Insert elegant way to update MyComboBox's bound item in DataSet * 3. DoOtherStuffWithSameDataSet called 4. Previous bound value is put back in MyComboBox 5. MyComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged refires Thanks! Tag: Form's Location Tag: 56016

    - GDI+ and Graphics.GetHdc errors I am having a huge problem with using the GetHdc method of various graphics objects in various user defined controls. I am constantly getting an 'invalid paramter used' error on my main thread in TOTALY RANDOM scenarios. I have been trying to debug this for weeks... Here is the scenario: 350+ clients running our application compiled in 1.1. Using 2 third party control libraries (where the error is always occuring). Various controls produce the problem in the simpelest of calls: IntPtr hDC = doubleBufferGraphic.GetHdc(); m.WParam = hDC; // Paint background first PaintBackground(hDC); // Call the ListView control to do its painting base.WndProc(ref m); The first line there is causing the error. The error seems to be completely hidden inside of the GetHdc call. I have never gotten the error on my machine. The error is HIGHLY random (almost never the same window or control causes it) and in no way reproducable. Error occures mostly on 98 machines, but we have reports on every single machine (we do automatic error feedback with stack traces and screen shots). I am thinking there is a problem with the video cards being used but I can't find any documentation on the video card requirements for gdi+. Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this at all or have ANY insite into the problem? Thanks -dec Tag: Form's Location Tag: 56015

    - Base's load event fires when inheriting form in design view I have a windows form in my class library that implements a load event. The load event calls the MessageBox.Show() method. I created a class that inherits that form programmatically. When I open the inheriting class in design view, the base load event fires and calls the MessageBox.Show().

    - Datagrid.VisibleColumnCount on a tabControl failing. I am having trouble getting the datagrid.VisibleColumnCount property to return the correct value for datagrids that are on separate tabpages of a tabbed dialog. The first datagrid returns the correct value, yet the subsequent two other datagrids only return back 0. However if I place a break point on the line, place the mouse over the property it still returns 0, then if I expand the datagrid in the watch window and scroll down to the property it has the correct value in, if I then put the mouse back over the property it appears correctly. The bug is not down to a timing issue as if I wait for a minute or two the value still does not appear in the property, it only seems to get the right value when I expand and close the datagrid in the watch window. I have managed to get this to fail with even the most basic of code, is this a bug with .Net, or am I doing something really wrong?

On doubleclick or select a menuitem, i want to get the currentrow for further reactions: I've tried: Dim x As DataRowView, Id, n x = Me.BindingContext(ds, "protokoll").Current Id = x!naqs_nr (the index-column i need) or: Dim cm As CurrencyManager = CType(Me.BindingContext (Me.dgProt.DataSource, Me.dgProt.DataMember), CurrencyManager) Dim dv As DataView = CType(cm.List, DataView) Dim x As DataRow x = dv.Item(cm.Position).Row id=x!naqs_nr or: Dim bm As BindingManagerBase = Me.BindingContext (Me.dgProt.DataSource, Me.dgProt.DataMember) x = CType(bm.Current, DataRowView).Row Id = x!naqs_nr ------------ The first time, every thing is fine, but after changing the dataset (e.g. repopulate it by ds.tables (protokoll).clear and refill with dataadapter), or after sorting it, i always get the first row.

    - Weird problem with DataGrid Scollbar in wrong place.. I have a form with a tab control with a variety of datagrids in various pages. In the designer VS2003 C# project I get a null reference error(with no other information such as what is a null reference) when changing between two of the tab control pages in the designer but the designer works and everything shows. In the designer the first datagrid on the first page is set to Dock Fill and gets resized when the form is loaded as an MDI child window. The problem is that on first loading the form the dataGrid's scroll bar does not get repositioned with the rest of the datagrid, it stays in the position that it was in the designer, so it ends up mixed in with the body of the grid. If you click on the grid and do some navigation within the grid then it fixes itself. If in the program I load the same info into the grid again all is fine. I am figuring that the error in VS2003 designer and the problem are related but have no idea how to go about tracking this down. Anyone else run into this with the datagrid?

    - Newbie Forms Question Please bear with me. I am just getting started out with the forms processing. My objective is to open multiple forms and maintain links to these forms (forward and reverse). I was looking at two methods of addressing the issue. First is to set a class as the controlling class and create the forms from the "Traffic Cop" Class or use MDI. The first seems simplistic and may address my issues but I do not know what issues this may present in the future. The second approach is to use MDI. I was hoping to have these forms be somewhat independent from each other but also linkable. Could someone post some code on how they addressed this? I did not like the idea of the MDI solution and managing Windows from the menu task level. If I am reading this wrong, please tell me. I am trying to learn the different methods to maintaining forms and states. Thank you Ernie CSharp@gcg.net Tag: Form's Location Tag: 55918
