    - DrawBorder3D query Hi In my Explorer look application, i want the panels to have a 3D look, so i used the following. private void panel_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e) { base.OnPaint (e); Rectangle borderRectangle = this.ClientRectangle; ControlPaint.DrawBorder3D(e.Graphics, borderRectangle, Border3DStyle.Etched); } This is working but problem is, when the spliter window is resized the rectangle is drawn to the new size without cleaning the old rectangle. After resizing the panel has 2 rectangles. How can i clear the old border before drawing the new one ? Thanks Matt Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93382

    - Mixing GDI & GDI+, ok while drawing, big problem for print preview, small problem while printing I have some Control/Canvas which renders its shape with GDI+, but render (styled, international) text with Uniscribe/ScriptTextOut/GDI. To be sure everyting was right I also underlined the text with a GDI red line (MoveToEx + LineTo) Everything run well in the application. The problem arise when I try to print. - 1st problem, in print preview: There is no text at all! coordinate are allright as I could see the red line, but no text :-/ Out of curiosity I tryed to write a X with TextOut() and it displayed allright (i. But I can't used TextOut(), I'm using Uniscribe and all I've got at the drawing stage is some glyphs. Any ideas? Also, 2nd problem in both print & print preview: I set the coordinate with SetWorldTransform(), using the matrix coming from e.Graphics.Transform. But that's not quite right. I have - screen: e.Graphics.DpiX = 96, GetDeviceCaps(screenHdc, LOGPIXELSX) = 96 - printer: e.Graphics.DpiX = 300, GetDeviceCaps(screenHdc, LOGPIXELSX) = 300 And I should scale the coordinate by "3" to have the right result. Exactly 3, not (300.0 / 96.0) = 3.125 I tried something like that while printing & print previewing: ::SetMapMode(hdc, MM_ANISOTROPIC); ::SetWindowExtEx(hdc, 96, 96, NULL); ::SetViewportExtEx(hdc, 300, 300, NULL); ==== And it was not right, I had to write instead someting like: int val = (300 / 96) * 96; (integer multiple) ::SetMapMode(hdc, MM_ANISOTROPIC); ::SetWindowExtEx(hdc, 96, 96, NULL); ::SetViewportExtEx(hdc, val, val, NULL); Any idea what's going on?

    - Using UserControls and generics with VS2005 designer Hi, I am currently experiencing some problems in designtime using a UserControl that uses generics. I have defined a lot of UI components that all inherit from a common UserControl (for common functionality). I wanted to define a property, Value, that would be common for all inherited controls but would reflect what kind of "value" the specific inherited control implemented. My initial thought was to use generics and define the base class as this: public abstract partial class EnhancedBase<TValue> : UserControl This class would define the Value property as this: public abstract TValue Value { get; set; } And I would override this for all the inherited UserControls. Now, I did already have a different implementation of this, and simply modified all my classes to use this technique - after a while(the project is pretty large..) I discovered that the inherited (but not the baseclass!) UserControls would not display at design time in Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 at all. All I get now is the red-and-grey error report saying the designer could not find any controls to display. It specifies the base of my controls and I have checked that fuslogvw does not report a missing assembly binding. After this I was not able to create a new Inherited UserControl based on my baseclass using the wizard - it reports that it cannot find any inheritable classes in the assembly containing the base class. The code seems to run fine at runtime - its just the designer that is unable to show the controls that are using generics. I can't find any mention of this anywhere - any insight? Also; I would like to make my usercontrols show up in a specified category in the toolbox, kind of like [Category("Custom")] works for a properties and event in the other toolbox. I though I was to use [DesignerCategory("Custom")] but this does not seem to do anything. Cheers! Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93379

    - NumericUpDown Hi, I have a form with a TextBox and a NumericUpDown on it. NumericUpDown's CausesValidation is true. I subscribe for NumericUpDown.ValueChanged. I experience the following problem: If I change the value from arrows, the ValueChanged event is fired as expected. If I enter value in NumericUpdown from keyboard (not arrows) and I press ENTER, the ValueChanged event is fired as expected. If I enter value in NumericUpDown from keyboard (not arrows) and I simply move the focus to the text box by pressing TAB or simply clicking on the text box with the mouse the ValueChanged event is NOT fired. Is this behaviour as expected? How do I get notification when the value gets changed no matter how? I also noticed that when I change the value of NumericUpDown from from keyboard (not arrows) the event is not fired but if I change from arrows after that, the event fires twice Thanks Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93373

    - Setting a form.Owner from a different thread in .net 2.0 Hello, I have an splash window application that creates a form from one thread (call it formSplash) and runs it and later on a differnt thread a new form (mainForm) is created and I want to make mainForm the owner of formSplash so that it appears behind. Using VS2003 I was able to do this by simply setting the Owner member of the splashForm from the mainForm thread. With .net 2.0 I get the following error: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'formSplash' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on. I then used formSplash.Invoke to call a method that would set the variable and passed it the mainForm as a parameter but when I assign it to the Owner member variable I now get the following error: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'mainForm' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on. I hope I was able to explain the problem correctly... Thanks Jeronimo Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93371

    - Windows Forms controls hosted in IE Hi I have a Windows Form control create in .Net 1.1. We are having an interesting problem with the control and some interactions with the server it is hosted on. We've recently upgraded one of our Production Servers to Windows 2003 SP1. Our old server as well as our development server are running Windows 2000 SP4. After the upgrade we found that most users could not access the control on the new production server. Accessing the old server or the development server will allow the users to access the control. I don't believe it is any code issue as the control still works using the old server. (I have strong named the control and set the APTC bit so that should not play into this.) The only thing that is different is the server is the update OS. Also, there are people that actually can access the control on the new server and their rights are not anything different than others. I've also tried just a generic control (using the sample in MSDN) and that does not work for the majority of our users as well. Does anyone have any ideas what we can do?

    - Exposing usercontrol components at design time Hi, I want to allow design time modification of components on a usercontrol. I added a listview called listView1 to the usercontrol, then added this accessor method: [Category("Components"), Description("Set the listview parameters."), DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)] public MyListView ListView { get { return listView1; } } This works great, almost. When the usercontrol is added to a form, I can edit the ListView properties. Unfortunately, this line of coded is added to my form's InitializeComponent() method: this.userListView.Controls.Add(this.listView1.ListView); I've read that usually you have to expose each property individually, but exposing the entire control works except for the redundant "Add" above. And with DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content I didn't expect the control itself to be serialized, just the contents. If I delete the line above everything is fine, but of course I don't want to have to edit InitializeComponent(). Is there a way to eliminate the redundant listview "Add()"?

    - MessageBox clears my splash screen Hello, I am opening a messagebox on top of a splash screen. The splash screen is a normal windows form with(FormBorderStyle=None, StartPosition=Center and TopMost=true). My problem is that my MessageBox is clearing the splash form behind it. When I press OK on the message box, the splash form is all gray(the background color) and no controls are visible. I have tried to set up a timer on the splash screen, and when the timer kicks in, the form is visible and it does not help to call neither Update og invalidate on the form. The only thing that helps is if I call Hide() and Show(), then all my controls are visible. I call the messagebox with the owner window, but there is no difference. Any ideas? Thanks Henrik.

    - Message loop question Hi, Could someone explain to me why this doesn't work? (VS 7.1, .NET 1.1) Thread A: Application.Run(); Thread B: myForm.Show(); If I run both on the same thread it works. I thought that it was enough to have a message loop running on any thread in the application to make forms work, but apparently not. Why? If I change the code in thread A to Application.Run(myForm); the form works. Why? I thought the only difference would be that the message loop would now exit when the form closes. If I change the code in thread B to myForm.ShowDialog(); the form also works. Why? -- Patrik Rådman patrik at iki dot fi http://www.iki.fi/patrik/ Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93351

    - Treenode added to itself - No Exception? Hello Ive just made a typo in some code that dynamically adds treenodes to a parent node. The result was something silly like this: dim tn as new treenode("mytext") .. tn.nodes.add(tn) This didn't throw an exception but rather (i assume) recursively looped and hung the application on a test debug and run. Does everyone else get this kind behaviour? And if so why doesn;t it throw an exception? Treeview is a UI control. Its impossible to draw this kind of behaviour....at least in this dimension anyway.

    - Text Box Validation - prevent a blank entry Hi, I have a form with several text boxes on it. Each test box requires some validation ... for being numeric etc. and I am successfully using the Validating and Validated events of each text box and an ErrorProvider to achieve this... However, I want to validate one of the text boxes such that the user *must* enter a value... ie. the text box must be non-blank. I tried putting code in the Validating event to disallow a blank value.. this did not work. The problem is that the Validating event is only invoked if the text box gets focus. If the user never clicks on the text box, then me error is never displayed. How do I force this validation .. even if text box never gains focus ? Many thanks. Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93326

    - Add controls to taskbar (like Google Desktop Search box) I was wondering if there's any way to create a toolbar that docks on top of the windows tast bar and shows up in the "toolbars" list. I noticed that Google Desktop Search has an option to add a search box to the taskbar (fully dockable/floating etc), so it looks like it must be possible, but I haven't been able to find a way to do it. The closest I came was a sample ApplicationBar, but this could only dock over top of the taskbar, not "inside" it. Ideally, I'd like to create something similar to what GDS has, which is selectable from the context menu, and which can be used in either a "docking" or "floating" mode. Is there any way to do this?

    - ComboBox autofiltering items - using RowFilter Hi guys! I need a help from you. I would like to do an autofiltering ComboBox. There is a ComboBox as DropDown style and its items come from a DataView. Well, when user types on that control (Text property) it should filter the rows inside using the DataView.RowFilter property and, in the same time, shows to user its items (DroppedDown = True) already filtered. I've tried the following: Private Sub ComboBox1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.KeyUp Dim strRowFilter As String strRowFilter = String.Concat("Name LIKE '%", ComboBox1.Text, "%'") DataView1.RowFilter = strRowFilter ComboBox1.DroppedDown = True End Sub As you can see, when the users types on ComboBox's Text property the event KeyUp is raised. Then, its Text content becames a Filter string, eg. "John" goes "Name LIKE '%John%'" and that string to RowFilter. My solution for this issue isn't working. When I type the Text I can se the items but for just the first letter. Thanks in advance. Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93306

    - Get rows as shown on DataGrid (WYSIWYG) Hi, How do I get DataGrid to return all the rows that are currently displayed on the screeen as seen by the user (WYSIWYG). The main requirement is the users can scroll up-or-down the grid, and refresh (retrieve the latest data from the database) the rows as seen by them by clicking a "Refresh Shown Rows" button. However they do not want to select any particular row (therefore I am unable to use any of the "Selected" functions). The DataGrid is binded to a DataView, which in turn is binded to a DataSet. The DataGird has a fixed height, showing 12 rows at any time. Therefore at any point of time I just need to refresh the 12 rows as seen by the user. Pls kindly advise. TQ.

Anyway here was the latest C++ __declspec(dllexport) void CvpCSILibApp::setWnd(HWND win); __declspec(dllexport) void CvpCSILibApp::setHI(HINSTANCE win); in the C# Wrapper DSWrapper System.IntPtr p=Marshal.GetHINSTANCE(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules()[0]); DSWrapper.setHI(p); and DSWrapper.setWnd(myWin.Handle); Any Help?

    - Interfaces with vb2005 project Hi, I am developing a windows project. In one of my form I have few procedures and functions. Everything is working great. Now I am told to do it through interfaces, means create a interface class and then implement it. I am little concern doing it. 1. Do we really have to create a interface when we have to implement it ONLY in one class nowhere else. 2. Are there any performance issues when we are using interfaces methods instead of method with not interfaces implement. Also I want to know when is the right time to use Interfaces. Thanks in advance, Mike Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93291

    - VSTO modal form question Hello I'm working on a Microsoft Word VSTO (Visual Studio Tools for Office) project (2003). The 'host' Word document has a custom command button which brings up a Windows Form via the following (C#) code private void RunScript_Click( Office.CommandBarButton Ctrl, ref Boolean CancelDefault ) { __pyScriptForm = new PyScriptForm( this.ThisApplication ); __pyScriptForm.Show(); } where 'ThisApplication' is of type /Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application/. This form is used to run scripts written in Python, capture their 'StdOut', and write it to the underlying document. This works as I want - as the script runs, the output appears on the document below. However, I think it would be preferable if the form were shown modally - the document shouldn't be accessible while a script is running, and there's a Cancel button on the form that will stop the script. But if I do this ( with ShowDialog rather than Show ), then the written output doesn't show up until the Form is closed. It's more satisfactory if you get the data appearing right away. Can I have my cake and eat it with this - ie. have a modal form, but also see the script output? TIA G.F. Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93289

    - Windows Form Designer Formatting I use the designer in Visual Studio .NET 2003, and I really don't like the way it automatically generates some things. For example, I don't like the extra bloat of everything having System.Windows.Forms when it's alread imported. I know there are situations where it can cause naming collision, but those don't apply here and I want to do away with the qualified namespace name. Any thoughts? Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93285

    - SplitContainer Question I dropped a split container onto a form, it's vertical and I can see the splitter bar OK and move it left to right. Then I dropped another split container in the right panel (panels2) of the first splitcontainer set it to horizontal. When running the app the application splitter bar of container2 in Panel2 of Container 1 is not visible.I can drop controls on the two panels of container2, but I can't resize the panels of panel 2 because the separtion line between the two doesn't show when running the program. What do I have to do to have the second container's panels be resizable? Thanks for any help. Bob Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93276

    - Cusomt controls no longer showing up in the toolbox - 2005 RC1 problem Hi, I have created several libraries of windows form custom control written using Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. I recently upgraded to RC1. The problem: When building the solution in Beta 2, the toolbox would automatically update by adding all custom controls from all projects found within my solution. In RC1 this is no longer the case. Custom controls simply do not show up. Even if AutoToolboxPopulate is true. Anyone had this problem and found a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - DrawString calls inconsistant in Paint Handler! Hi, I am using Graphics.DrawString in the paint handler of a label. The text comes up and behaves as expected on all events such as resize of the lable control. The problem is when i move a messagebox/ another application( say notepad ) across the lable. In this case a clean repaint of the text fails to appear. The text gets drawn erratically or altogether disappears. What could i be missing out on in this code. I tried inheriting from System.Windows.Forms.Label and overriding the onpaint method with same results. I had also tried having the usercontrol as UserControlStyles.UserPaint. I was trying to avoid having to create the Graphics object for the lable in the main form as this is not advisable; but i tried that also with even worse results. Any help to get me have the paint handler working properly would be greatly appreciated. Regards, //code snippet private void lblMessage_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) { if( lblMessage.Text != "" ) lblMessage.Text = ""; Graphics g = e.Graphics;// Graphics.FromHwnd( this.Handle ); //g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias; StringFormat sf = new StringFormat(); sf.Trimming = StringTrimming.EllipsisCharacter; sf.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center; sf.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center; sf.FormatFlags = StringFormatFlags.LineLimit | StringFormatFlags.FitBlackBox | StringFormatFlags.NoClip ; g.DrawString ( strText, this.Font, Brushes.Black, new RectangleF( g.VisibleClipBounds.Location, g.VisibleClipBounds.Size), sf ); } Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93270

    - PropertyGrid KeyProcessing Hello, Can someone from MS tell me, how the key-processing in the PropertyGrid(or Controls in general) works? How are the functions ProcessCmdKey, ProcessDialogChar, ProcessDialogKey, ProcessKeyEventArgs, ProcessKeyMessage, ProcessKeyPreview, ProcessTabKey, IsInputChar, IsInputKey affected? When will they be called? Which function of which control calls them? What parameters will be passed to the functions? ... A diagram with the parameter/message flow and function-call-tree with notes would be nice! I want to show a PropertyGrid on a transparent form. If ESC is pressed the form should be closed with DialogResult.Cancel. If ENTER is pressed and the no Control in the PropertyGrid (TextBox, ComboBox,...) is active the form should be closed with DialogResult.OK Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93269

    - Multithreaded Panel Visiblility Hi everyone, I've got myself a C# .NET 1.1 application I'm making where a docked Panel that contains some progress bars etc. is being toggled between Visible and not. Basically a user drags some photos into the window and it activates a background thread that shows the panel, does some work, and hides it again. If this is not in a separate thread, it works! I've tried doing a manual Update(), and PerformLayout() calls, but nothing works. The thread work happens, but the panel never shows. I've also tried Application.DoEvents(). private void itemImages_DragDrop(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e) { ArrayList formats = new ArrayList(e.Data.GetFormats()); if(formats.Contains(DataFormats.FileDrop)){ //imageImportFiles = (string[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop); imageImportFiles.Clear(); imageImportFiles.AddRange((string[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop)); imageImportThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.importImages)); imageImportThread.Start(); } } private void importImages(){ imageImportPanel.Visible = true; imageLoadProgress.Maximum = imageImportFiles.Count; imageLoadProgress.Value = 0; ArrayList imageFiles = new ArrayList(); foreach(string filePath in imageImportFiles){ importDirectory(filePath, imageFiles); } imageLoadProgress.Maximum = imageFiles.Count; imageLoadProgress.Value = 0; foreach(string filePath in imageFiles){ string label = getFileName(filePath); Image img; int imgId; ListViewItem item; imageImportStatus.Text = String.Format("Importing {0}... ({1} of {2})", label, imageLoadProgress.Value+1, imageLoadProgress.Maximum); Application.DoEvents(); try{ img = Image.FromFile(filePath); }catch(Exception){ continue; } imgId = itemImageList.Images.Add(img, Color.Transparent); item = itemImages.Items.Add(label, imgId); imageLoadProgress.Value++; } imageImportPanel.Visible = false; } Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93268

    - Dragging icons in a ListView Hi, I still cannot believe there isn't a standard property (or set of properties) that would allow me to drag, move and rearrange icons in a standard ListView .net control! I was trying different combinations of properties (like AutoArrange = False, and many others...), but it looks like it does not work unless you handle some of the events (OnBeginDrag etc...). It would seem natural to think that such a basic functionality would be provided via standard property, but so far I have not found a way... Does anyone know a way to do this by settings without having to write code? Thanks, Ivan Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93266

    - MDI form question. I have a MDI container form that l load client forms into. When I set the FormBorderStyle to None before calling show on the client form, I can resize the container form and if there are unseen areas of the child, it shows the horizontal and vertical scrollbars (that's fine). However, I want the FormBorderStyle set to Sizable so that I can treat them like Excel workbooks and minimize, maximize, and move around however I want. So I set FormBorderStyle to Sizable and the child's windowstate is set to maximized. The PROBLEM is that when the container form is sized to a smaller size so that the child form has unseen areas, there are no scrollbars and you cannot get to those unseen areas of the child without restoring down the child. That is similar to Excel, except in Excel when the workbook is maximized and the container is smaller than the workbook, there are scrollbars available so that you can get to the unseen areas of the child. How can I duplicate how Excel handles this? Tag: Icon child icons Tag: 93264

That's a known bug. Are you using Windows 2000?
