    - problem with IExtenderProvider I'm implemented a class called MyProvider which inherited from Component and IExtenderProvider. i have the problem, that when I typed anything in the visual studio designer in my MyItem-object which is provided by MyProvider, the data is lost, after I clicked in another textbox. i added the following methods in my provider: [ProviderProperty("MyProvider", typeof(Control)] public class MyProvider : Component, IExtenderProvider { [ExtenderProvidedProperty] [TypeConverter(typeof(MyItemConverter))] public MyItem GetMyProvider(Control control) { } [ExtenderProvidedProperty] public void SetMyProvider(Control extendee, MyItem value) { } public bool ShouldSerializeMyProvider(Control extendee) {} } my MyItem class has 4 properties. 2 of them are hidden for the designer serialization.the last 2 properties are of type string. any ideas why he deletes the entered data?

    - DataGridViewComboBoxColumn invalid value problem I have read a bunch of posts about this problem but nothing talks about how to deal with it in the way I need to. If you have a gridview with a combobox column with values; value1, value2, and value3 and you need to bind to a datasource that could have "invalid" values that are not in that list say value4. How can you handle this situation? I would like to show the invalid value and let the user choose a valid value from the combobox but if they don't touch the cell I want the "invalid" value to stay. Is this possible? Tag: Getting the DPI setting? Tag: 98881

    - NTD and Enterprise Library I am having trouble using No-Touch Deployment (NTD) and Enterprise Library. The application works great when simply clicking on the executable without going through the browser, but when trying to execute with the browser or IEExec.exe the application cannot read Enterprise Library's config files. Also, I do not see where the client is doing a "GET" for the enterprise library's config files in IIS logs. If I remove any references to Enterprise Library, then the application works great for NTD. I am using 1.1 framework. Can NTD only read one config file and it is not smart enough to get additional config files? I have searched the Internet up and down and cannot find anything useful. Any help is appreciated! Justin Tag: Getting the DPI setting? Tag: 98872

    - Scrollbars I'm trying to use the HScrollBar and VScrollBar controls, but I'm having some problems with them... I want them to just sit there and let the user drag them, so I can retrieve the thumb position and handle everything else in my code. Furthermore, I want to control when they appear and when not. I have two values, h.iSizeX and h.iSizeY, which represent my drawing area, however, main form can be larger or smaller. If smaller, I want to show scrollbar(s), if larger, I just want to resize my drawing area panel. Here's my current code: scr_h.Left = toolStrip1.Width; scr_h.Top = Height-scr_h.Height; scr_v.Left = Width-scr_v.Width; scr_v.Top = menuStrip1.Height; if (h.iSizeX > Width - toolStrip1.Width) { pnl_Render.Width = Width - toolStrip1.Width; scr_h.Visible= true; scr_h.Enabled = true; scr_h.Maximum = h.iSizeX; } else { scr_h.Visible = false; pnl_Render.Width = h.iSizeX; } if (h.iSizeY > Height - menuStrip1.Height) { pnl_Render.Height = Height - menuStrip1.Height; scr_v.Visible = true; scr_v.Enabled = true; scr_v.Maximum = h.iSizeY; } else { scr_v.Visible = false; pnl_Render.Height = h.iSizeY; } Problems with it: -Right now only the VScrollbar shows up when intended, but I can't see why. -The Width on VScrollbar and the Height on HScrollbar values seem to be wrong, since the VScrollbar appears too far on the right and only half of it is shown on the right side of the window. I can already notice that when in designer. Any ideas on how to get that working? Tag: Getting the DPI setting? Tag: 98869

    - How do I change the order of object properties stored in Generics I have a List<> of objects that I want to use as the datasource for my datagridview at runtime. However, when I bind to it, the columns are in a strange order (no correlation to my query or to the underlying object properties). Any idea how to manipulate the order of object properties, either on the datagridview or in the underlying list? E.g., the grid displays object.LastName object.ID object.FirstName But it SHOULD display object.ID object.LastName object.FirstName Tag: Getting the DPI setting? Tag: 98868

    - Referencing item on form with added to tab object as control Hi, I have an application where on the main form I have a tab control. I also have created a form that has 2 text boxes and a couple of buttons on it. When the main form loads I run this code Dim MyForm2 As New frmQuery MyForm2.TopLevel = False MyForm2.Show() MyForm2.Dock = DockStyle.Fill MyForm2.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left MyForm2.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Top Me.TabControl1.TabPages(0).Controls.Add(MyForm2) Me.TabControl1.TabPages(0).Controls(0).Anchor = AnchorStyles.Top Or AnchorStyles.Left Or AnchorStyles.Right Or AnchorStyles.Bottom Me.TabControl1.TabPages(0).Controls(0).Dock = DockStyle.Fill Me.TabControl1.TabPages(0).Focus() This creates an instance of my form and adds it to the tab. This works fine. Now I want to load a file into on of the text boxes on the form frmQuery. How do I reference it from the Main form?? I think I would start with TabControl1.TabPages(TabControl1.SelectedIndex).Controls(0)...... but I'm not sure what goes next. Intellisence cannot pickup the objects on frmQuery because it is loaded at runtime. Does anyone have any ideas Tag: Getting the DPI setting? Tag: 98867

With your new docs you are able minimize, maximize the doc itself without closing the main Word window.

    - HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile > Windows.Forms App Hi I've been using the code below to authenticate a user in the database in my ASP.Net app but now I've built another Windows Forms based application. I'm trying to use the below code but I guess there is no equivalent to the FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile function. Does anyone know what I can use instead?

    - Problem with using TopMost property Hi, I am having a few problems with using the TopMost property for dialogs. The problem centers around the fact that I have a main dialog which as a central map and at certain positions on this map I need to display small message boxs to represent information regarding this point. These message boxs are simple forms with a ew text fields and labels. The problem I am having is that I need to set the TopMost property of the forms to true if I want to see more than one message at a time. I am creating these message forms dynamically when the user clicks the correct positon on the main map. What happens is that after the first message form, the second one makes the first one disappear under the main form. If I set the TopMost property then they all appear but when I minimise the main form, the message dialogs remain on the desktop. if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left) { Point pt = new Point(e.X, e.Y); foreach(IconDetails icon in icons) { Point pt1 = icon.GetLocation(); Rectangle rect = new Rectangle( pt1.X, pt1.Y, 30, 30); if (rect.Contains(pt)) { VMSSiteObject vmsObj = vmsSiteObjects.GetBySCN(icon.GetDescription()); if (vmsObj != null) { ArrayList listOfDisp = (ArrayList)vmsObj.VMSDisplayObjects; ArrayList disp = (ArrayList)listOfDisp[0]; int mods = disp.Count; site = new siteDlg(vmsObj); sz.Width = site.Size.Width - 8; if (mods > 1) sz.Height = site.Size.Height + ((mods-1) * 8); else sz.Height = site.Size.Height; } break; if (site != null) { site.Tag = icon.GetDescription(); siteDlgs.Add(site); site.Show(); site.Size = sz; } } } } Is there another way I could show these forms without having to set the TopMost property.

    - Ctrl+Enter on a combobox automatically selects item beginning with Does anyone know why pressing Ctrl+Enter (with the focus on the combobox) automatically selects the first item in the combo beginning with the letter J? Surely this has to be a bug in the combobox. The problem can be reproduced by simply creating a new Windows Application, adding a new combobox onto Form1, setting it's style to DropdownList and pasting the following code into Form_Load: ComboBox1.Items.Add("Motorbike") ComboBox1.Items.Add("Car") ComboBox1.Items.Add("Jeep") ComboBox1.Items.Add("Van") ComboBox1.Items.Add("Tank") ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0 Whichever item you have selected, pressing Ctrl+Enter causes Jeep to become selected. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional (VB) on Windows 2000 Professional, but I've reproduced this on VB6 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 (VB) as well. Thanks in advance for any help.

    - MdiWindowListItem - Is this a .NET bug??? Hi, I think I've come across a bug in the framework. It is to do with the MDI behaviour of the MenuStrip control. From my understanding once the MdiWindowListItem property of the MenuStrip control has been assigned to a ToolStripMenuItem it should assume the responsibility of tracking all MDI children that are opened/closed. This behaviour seems to fail in the following scenario If on the FormClosing event of an MDI child (for arguments sake we'll call this FormA) the form Close is cancelled i.e. e.Cancel = true; and a new form created (FormB) and shown/displayed, the original form FormA dissapears from the window list and is replaced by FormB. So when FormB is closed the window list shows no windows but yet FormA is still open. I know this may sound a little confusing, so I've knocked up a small harness (see link below) which reproduces this behaviour. 1. Open up the solution and start the solution 2. From the File menu select new (creates a new MDI Child window. NOTE: at this point the window list is OK) 3. Close this form by pressing the X (a 'New Mdi Child 1 Dialog' is created. NOTE: at this point the 'New Mdi Child 1' entry in the window list has dissapeared) 4. Press the Cancel button on the 'New Mdi Child 1 Dialog' to close this form http://development.gnitouch.com/MdiWindowList.zip Thanks in advance Tag: Getting the DPI setting? Tag: 98848

    - Displaying chm help file in Citrix Environment Hi, Trying to do something very simple, just display the application help file associated with an application. I've set up the Help Provider, the HelpNamespace property is simply the name of the file so it is always looking for it in the same directory as the program. I am calling with the following code.. Help.ShowHelp(this, hpMain.HelpNamespace, HelpNavigator.TableOfContents); This works absolutely fine on my development machine. This also works fine on a Citrix server where I am in the local Administrators group. However, this does not work on servers that make up our farm (I don't have admin rights on these). I've wrapped the above code in try|catch blocks, added logging etc....the code is simply called and nothing happens. No exceptions are raised and the help file is not displayed?? What could this be, a permissions issue?? Any ideas? Thanks Tag: Getting the DPI setting? Tag: 98844

    - J# rookie: how do I navigate between forms in an application??? I have several Windows Forms that are supposed to work together in one application. The initial form is a main menu with different buttons that, when clicked, are intended to open another form in the application. For instance, there is an "Administration" button that should open an Administration Menu form; there is another button entitled "Data Entry" that should open a Data Entry Menu form. I have designed all the individual forms for the application, but I don't know the code to use in the click event handlers that will result in the desired form to be opened after a particular button is clicked. For instance, what code would I place in the Admininstration_Click event handler that would result in the Administration Menu form opening if the user clicks the "Administration" button? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks to anyone who responds! Tag: Getting the DPI setting? Tag: 98825

The textbox I create logically in the program, and I initialize the correct properties for a normal multiline editor. When the user changes the column size then I reload the lines accordinally. The problem I am having is when I get the lines property which is a array<^>^(). The lenght is always 1 no matter how many lines are in the textbox. In MFC when the lines are wraped the new line character is automattically inserted, but here it's not. Can you help me solve this problem? I would really appreciate it!

Running my windows forms on screens set to 133 DPI has some odd effects
(scroll-bars suddenly appearing because objects overflow their containers).
Setting the AutoScaleMode to dpi doesn't seem to fix the problems either. Is
it possible to evaluate the DPI setting within the code and make the
relevant adjustments to your measurements ? C# if possible please :)

The code below can be used inside a form to determine the current DPI
settings:

\\\
using (Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics())
{
x = g.DpiX;
y = g.DpiY;
}
///

In addition to the code above check out the form's 'AutoScale' property.

Hi Herfried,

Is there anyway the form can maintain the looks on different DPIs?

Thank You,
Vish
