    - making forms larger than screen size (Type your message here) -------------------------------- From: Zaher Zeidan is there a way to resize a form so that it's bigger than the screen size of the windows?? I mean if you run your windows with 780x1024 resolution you won't be able to set your height or width to any thing larger than this.. this is really stupid from the IDE to prevent developers from resizing the form larger than the screen area since this would enable you to get a lot of space in design time and/or using scroll bars to put lot of controls in one window.. Old Visual Studio didn't have this limitation.. anyone knows a workaround for this??? ----------------------- Posted by a user from .NET 247 (http://www.dotnet247.com/) <Id>/ORUU75l20+l5QvA6bsPPg==</Id> Tag: HELP NEEDED REGARDING MAKING OTHER LANGAUGE (i.e. HINDI)ENABLED WINDOWS APPLICATION IN .NET Tag: 86114

    - CheckedListBox::SetItemChecked will not display properly on TabCon Hi all I have this checkedlistbox that appears on a winform that has a tabstrip control. The tabstrip control has say more thatn 2 tabs. On the first tab there is a checkedlistbox. The checkedlistbox first loads all possible items from a database; say 10 options total for a user to select. I then make another call to a database table that has the previously selected options for the checkedlistbox. All the data comes back from the database fine. I am able to use the SetItemChecked method to set which ever items in teh checkedlistbox as checked, but when it finally is rendered on the screen, none of the checked items show as checked. If I move the checkedlistbox to another tab that is not to display at the time of rendering for the form, I can select that tab and the items are checked. I am wondering if any of you have seen anything similar to this. Thanks for any assitance. Tag: HELP NEEDED REGARDING MAKING OTHER LANGAUGE (i.e. HINDI)ENABLED WINDOWS APPLICATION IN .NET Tag: 86113

    - WinForm Behavior Hi. I´m developing an MDI aplication and I have a base form from where all child windows inherits. The issue is that all the controls I place in the inherited child form at design time use say Arial 12 font and the textboxes are 20pixels hi, however at runtime everything ends up twice as large than designed, like Arial 16 and textboxes 40pixels hi. So far this is cool because I infact need to adjust the size of the controls all over the aplication according to the resolution it is being running on. However I don't know what feature is that and need to know what it is in order to control it! Any ideas? is it the base form used by the child windows or is something on the MDI container that somehow "inherits" some property to the controls the contain?

I would like to find a control which enables me to add all my columns but one to the first row and the last column on the second row. If it was a html-table an item would look like this <tr><td>Column 1</td> <td>Column 2</td> <td>Column 3</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3">Column 4. Big.</td> </tr> It would be nice if the control would be similar to a listview in Details-view (able to change the width and sort on the columns in the first row). /nisse Tag: HELP NEEDED REGARDING MAKING OTHER LANGAUGE (i.e. HINDI)ENABLED WINDOWS APPLICATION IN .NET Tag: 86093

    - Skip LinkLabel in TAB order I have designed a custom control derived from UserControl which contains a LinkLabel and a TextBox. If the user uses the TAB key to move the focus to my custom control I want the TextBox to get the focus and not the LinkLabel. Therefore I set the TabStop property of the LinkLabel control to False (in the constructor of my custom control, after InitializeComponent()). However, the TabStop property of the LinkLabel is ignored and it still gets the focus. As a workaround I tried to override OnEnter of my custom control: Protected Overrides Sub OnEnter(ByVal e As System.EventArgs) myTextBox.Focus() End Sub Unfortunately this doesn't work either. The TextBox gets the focus but immediately afterwards the focus moves to the LinkLabel. Overriding OnGotfocus results in the same behaviour. How could I prevent the LinkLabel to get the focus if the user uses the TAB key to move the focus to my custom control?

    - How to achieve the following functionality with Windows Forms ? I have a useful framework, written in a different language (PowerBuilder), which I'd like to replicate in .Net and Forms, but I'm unsure of how to approach it, as the Event model is being used different between the development environments. Currently we have data entry screens, whose columns have been "wired" into a class that performs checks on the entered data. As the user "leaves" a column, the specific check / business rule is carried out. A lot of the checks are common across all the screens and linking the column to the specific method to be called is as easy a giving the column the appropriate Name. How can I create my own framework which would allow an easy method of connecting / wiring the columns and the method checks together. I was planning on using DataGrids, but can change that if I need to. Tag: HELP NEEDED REGARDING MAKING OTHER LANGAUGE (i.e. HINDI)ENABLED WINDOWS APPLICATION IN .NET Tag: 86075

    - Windows Forms .NET 2.0 Advice Hello, I could use some advice. I have an application to build for a client the must be developed as a windows form application. This is an application that was written years ago using VB6 and an access database. I am an experienced .Net developer, version 1.1 but have built web applications, not windows forms. Should I consider .NET 2.0 for this application? I do not have windows form experience in .net so there will be a learning curve either way. Are there enough new features in .net 2.0 windows forms to consider this? Also, can you point me to any good docs on the subject.

    - Problem binding a listbox to an array Hello people, I am having problems binding a listbox to an array. Using Visual Studio 2003 with framework 1.1 That's the array: internal class Data { private Data() {} // static class public static readonly string[] states =3D { "Alabama", = "Alaska", "Arizona", /* ...*/ "Wisconsin", "Wyoming"}; } I also have a listbox on a form. The auto-generated code is: // listStates this.listStates.Name =3D "listStates"; this.listStates.TabIndex =3D 0; this.listStates.Location =3D new System.Drawing.Point(8, 16); this.listStates.Size =3D new System.Drawing.Size(100, 82); this.listStates.SelectionMode =3D = System.Windows.Forms.SelectionMode.MultiSimple; Question number 1: In the designer, the DataSource property of the listStates ListBox is = not editable. I would like to bind it to the array at design time but I cannot. I that supposed to be like that or am I missing something? Question number 2: When I added the following statement listStates.DataSource =3D Data.states; it appeared to work but I started having weird behaviour regarding the = selection. In particular, after selecting several items and unselecting all of = them, the first item would become selected. What am I doing wrong?

    - Change mouse cursor when points to specific cell I am creating a linklabel look-a-link in a datagrid with the following code by overriding the paint sub: If column = 0 Or column = 3 Or column = 4 Then Dim UnderlineFont As New Font(Me.DataGridTableStyle.DataGrid.Font, FontStyle.Underline) Dim rect As Rectangle = bounds Dim value As Object = GetColumnValueAtRow(source, rowNum) g.FillRectangle(backBrush, rect) g.DrawString(value.ToString, UnderlineFont, Brushes.Blue, RectangleF.FromLTRB(rect.X, rect.Y, rect.Right, rect.Bottom)) Else MyBase.Paint(g, bounds, source, rowNum, backBrush, foreBrush, alignToRight) End If I only create the linklabel look-alike in specific rows and columns. Now I have to have the cursor change to a 'hand' when the mouse moves over a cell. Note! I am creating the datagrid programmatically so I do not know what rows will contain a link (so I can not use the example by George Shepard in sycfusion). Also, there is NOT a mouseup or mousedown event to work with. I only want the cursor to change to a hand on a specific cell, not a whole row.

    - Switching between MDI child windows... I have an MDI application that is causing slight problems when I try to programmatically switch between child forms. When I press CTRL+TAB, the forms switch without much of a flicker at all. But when I try to fire an MDI switch from a toolbar button, I get a pretty noticeable flicker. The way I am changing forms is through the use of the Activate() method on the child form. For instance, nextChild.Activate(); I've tried using the ActivateMdiChild method, i.e., this.ActivateMdiChild(nextChild); but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is there something that I'm missing?

    - Capturing web page into a bitmap via WM_PRINT Hi, I'm copying the image of a web page into a bitmap by loading the page first into the web browser control (AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser) and then sending the WM_PRINT message to the control.

My code is similar to the code in this blog: http://kentb.blogspot.com/2005/03/nice-form.html . I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with the code as it works fine for web pages that have no Flash animations. I wonder if anyone has encountered similar problems?

    - Capturing change to TextBox I want to simply capture changes to a TextBox and perform some processing when the user has edited the text.

    - Menu Shortcut Key Not working I have an MDI winform application. One of the menu items is using CTRL+U as the shortcut and it will not invoke the menu item. Here is a list of things I have tried to resolve the problem. 1) Tested CTRL+U in Word to make sure that the keys are working properly. Success 2) Re-Assigned the menu item a different shortcut. Success 3) Re-Assigned a different menu item the CTRL+U shortcut. Failure 4) Created a new project with one form, and a menu item with the CTRL+U shortcut. Success. 5) I can hot key to the menu item (the underllined letters for the menu items). Success 6) I can click on the menu item. Success Controls on the MDI Parent form 1) CDDB control 2) MCI control 3) menu items Controls on the MDI child form the menu item is affecting 1) Labels 2) text boxes 3) tab control with 2 pages 4) 2 grid controls (1 per page) 5) toolbar Any thoughts/suggestions on why CTRL+U won't work?

    - Making it possible for user to move controls on form, how? How can I make it possible for a user to move a control on a form by selecting it and then using the arrow keys to move it to a new location? For instance suppose I have a form that represents the output of a cheque and I want the user to be able to move the date and amount fields so that they cn be printed out at the correct location on his preprinted cheque stock? Any help or a pointer to some sample code would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, RD Tag: HELP NEEDED REGARDING MAKING OTHER LANGAUGE (i.e. HINDI)ENABLED WINDOWS APPLICATION IN .NET Tag: 86001

    - Refreshing Form on Process Hello, I have a windows application written in VB .NET which pulls a lot of data from different databases into one source. This often takes a long time and therefore I track the progress using a progress bar and a status bar. When the program is running and I use another application the form turns white and doesn't refresh itself until the process is complete. Could anyone advice me/provide a VB example of the best way to keep a windows form refreshed when running, but still restrict the user from setting off another process? Many thanks for your advice.

I would like to extract the UI and functionality into a single entity so = I can reuse it in the application. What is the easiest way to implement it? (I don't really want to create a standalone control since the "grouping" = only makes sense inside this particular application).

    - Nasty bug with OwnerDrawn context menus on a ComboBox Have a look at the code below. It's a really simple example where I have added two controls to a form, a textbox and a combo box.

    - Dangling process, when calling ShowDialog twice from Main hi, i've used jason clarks recommendations for handling unhandled exceptions in my winforms app (http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/06/NET/default.aspx). if an unhandled exception happens, i open up an 'Error-Logger' form, which sends the exception to a web service. here is the relevant code: [STAThread] public static void Main() { try { SubMain(); } catch (Exception e) { HandleUnhandledException(e); } } public static void SubMain() { AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(OnUnhandledException); // CLR Application.ThreadException += new System.Threading.ThreadExceptionEventHandler(OnGuiUnhandedException); // Windows Forms Application.Run(new MainForm()); } public static void HandleUnhandledException(Object o) { if(o == null) { MessageBox.Show("An unknown error has occurred", "Error"); return; } Exception ex = o as Exception; if (ex != null) new ErrorLogger(ex).ShowDialog(); } this approach works very well. the problem of a dangling process occurs if the user closes the ErrorLogger form before it has finished reporting the error. A ThreadAbortException happens (which i catch and ignore) in ErrorLogger, and the error logger form closes. if i then close the mainform, the process is left dangling in task manager with no windows open. this only happens if the user kills the errorlogger form. the errorLogger form calls the web service on a worker thread, but i am careful to Abort this thread in Dispose() and Form.Close() and even when the ThreadAbortException happens. is there any way for me to work around this? maybe the application is creating two UI threads because ShowDialog is called twice, and only one of those threads gets properly terminated when the application is closed? thanks for any help tim Tag: HELP NEEDED REGARDING MAKING OTHER LANGAUGE (i.e. HINDI)ENABLED WINDOWS APPLICATION IN .NET Tag: 85989

    - Using The NativeWindow Class To Draw A GDI Type Circle On Top Of A DataGrid Possibly In The Override OnPaint I have a requirement to put a GDI style circle or rectangle border around the selected row of a datagrid/ It will overlap into the row above and below the selected row. Doing this in a the OnPaint of a subclassed DataGridTextBoxColum dos not seem like a practical way to do it. I have subclassed a DataGrid and overridden the OnPaint as such: protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs pe) { base.OnPaint(pe); // Create pen. Pen blackPen = new Pen(Color.Green, 2); // Create location and size of rectangle. float x = 15.0F; float y = 53.0F; float width = 500.0F; float height = 20.0F; // Draw rectangle to screen. pe.Graphics.DrawRectangle(blackPen, x, y, width, height); } It works but has refresh problems. Last week Bob Powell [MVP] suggested that I use a NativeWindow class to solve this problem. I've just had the time to get back to this and not being a former C++ person, etc., etc., etc. maybe someone can help with this. The MSDN help screen for the NativeWindow class is this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwindowsformsnativewindowclasstopic.asp It has an example and in the subclassed NativeWindow constructor it creates a button: public MyNativeWindow(Form parent) { ..see help example } Can someone advise me on where my code above that paints the Rectangle should go in this NativeWindow example?

    - Creating DesignerVerbs for a Reflection.Emit-ed class for use in a PropertyGrid Hi, I've hit a bit of a brick wall in my use of the PropertyGrid control. I am writing a Windows Forms application that does the following: - dynamically create a class using Reflection.Emit - the class simply holds a number of properties ("Name", "Description", etc). - pass the class to a PropertyGrid control which then renders the properties for the user to edit. This is all working fine, and I have even added my own Category and Description attributes to the properties which are showing up successfully in the PropertyGrid. My problem is that I would also like to add a couple of DesignerVerbs to the class, so that I can offer "Add Property" and "Remove Property" functions in the PropertyGrid. I have set the CommandsVisibleIfAvailable flag on my PropertyGrid, and attempted to set the Designer attribute on my dynamically-created class. The Designer attribute points to a custom ComponentDesigner class, in which I have defined the DesignerVerbs. However, the verbs are not being shown in the PropertyGrid. I may have a lead in that the Attributes property of my TypeBuilder class still says "NotPublic" after I SetCustomAttribute. But does that mean the contents of the Attributes collection are not public, or that my class' only attribute is "NotPublic"? Any ideas on something I might have missed? Below is some example code, in the hope that it jogs someone's memory! I'd be happy to post anything else that may be relevant. Cheers Lee ********************************************** *** snippet from DynamicCmSchemaCreator.cs *** *** creates the DesignerAttribute using my *** *** custom ComponentDesigner class *** TypeBuilder typeBuilder = moduleBuilder.DefineType ( DynamicType, TypeAttributes.Class, typeof(Component) ); // Apply the Designer attribute, supplying our own ComponentDesign class CustomAttributeBuilder customAttributeBuilder = new CustomAttributeBuilder ( typeof(DesignerAttribute).GetConstructor(new Type[] { typeof(Type) }), new object[] { typeof(DynamicCmSchemaComponentDesigner) } ); typeBuilder.SetCustomAttribute(customAttributeBuilder); ******************************************* *** DynamicCmSchemaComponentDesigner.cs *** *** the componentdesigner I attach to *** *** the dynamic class *** public class DynamicCmSchemaComponentDesigner : ComponentDesigner { private const string AddPropertyVerb = "Add Property"; private const string RemovePropertyVerb = "Remove Property"; private DesignerVerbCollection verbs; private void OnAddPropertyVerb(object sender, EventArgs e) { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Processing Add Property"); } private void OnRemovePropertyVerb(object sender, EventArgs e) { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Processing Remove Property"); } public override DesignerVerbCollection Verbs { get { if (verbs == null) { verbs = new DesignerVerbCollection(); verbs.Add(new DesignerVerb(AddPropertyVerb, new EventHandler(OnAddPropertyVerb))); verbs.Add(new DesignerVerb(RemovePropertyVerb, new EventHandler(OnRemovePropertyVerb))); } return verbs; } } } **************************************** *** snippet from MainForm.cs *** *** creates the dynamic class and *** *** passes it to the propertygrid *** object dynamicCmSchema = DynamicCmSchemaCreator.CreateDynamicCmSchema ( node.CmSchema.Properties ); this.propertyGrid.SelectedObject = dynamicCmSchema; ******************************************* Tag: HELP NEEDED REGARDING MAKING OTHER LANGAUGE (i.e. HINDI)ENABLED WINDOWS APPLICATION IN .NET Tag: 85969
