    - Delete key in DataGridViewComboBoxCell I have a DataGridViewComboBoxCell in a DataGridView. When it is selected and the user presses Delete key it is reseted to default value (or first value in ComboBox). How can I override this default behavior and delete entire row instead?

    - Capturing Shift+Return when AcceptButton is used Hi, I've got a search form with the search button used as AcceptButton for the form and everything works as expected. However, I want to be able to capture not only Return, but also Shift+Return in which case I want to change some settings and then perform the search as normal. As I understand it, when an AcceptButton is used the form's KeyDown event handler doesn't receive the Return key event even with KeyPreview on. If I remove the AcceptButton the Return key event gets through as expected. Is there a good way to find out whether Shift is currently pressed form within the accept button's Click event handler? Is there a way to display the search button with "AcceptButton style" without it actually being accept button? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    - Grid view readonly property I am having problem with the fallowing piece of code foreach (DataGridViewRow Rows in prePDDataGridView.Rows) { Rows.DefaultCellStyle = null; Rows.ReadOnly = true; DataGridViewDisableButtonCell buttonCellSave = (DataGridViewDisableButtonCell)Rows.Cells["Save"]; buttonCellSave.Enabled = false; } The above code will make all the rows in data grid view as readonly and the button cell to disable. The above code works properly when i made the form as non MDI child. But it does not work if i made the form as MDI Child. I dont know what is the reason. Any solution for this ?

    - binding CheckBox.Enabled to ComboBox selection I have a combo which is bound to a List<MyCustomObject>. One of the properties of MyCustomObject is a boolean which I would like to bind to a checkbox so that depending on the selection on the combobox, the checkbox below it would get enabled/disabled accordingly. How can this be achieved through databinding? I don't want to implement this through any event handling - just pure databinding. My initial effort was this: checkbox.DataBindings.Add("Enabled", combobox, "SelectedItem.MyBooleanProperty"); However, the above code does not work.

    - Question about DataGridView binding I have not used the DataGridView that much. I'm writing a Winforms app using a datagridview bound to a datatable. For reasons too involved to go into, the grid is not editable. When I need to edit a record, I double-click on a row and retrieve the keys as follows: key = <grid name>.CurrentRow.Cells("Column Name").Value.ToString Then do a find on the datatable and get the datarow. datarow = datatable.Find(key) Is this the simplest way to relate the datagridview and the datasource or is there something simpler?

    - When is a form disposed? (unexpected ObjectDisposedException errors) I have a multithreaded app that creates a progress form on the main thread and interacts with it from a worker thread. The code is more or less like this: void MainThread() { MyForm form = new MyForm(); ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(WorkerThread, form); form.ShowDialog(); } void WorkerThread(object state) { using (MyForm form = state) { // do some work... } } So, the form can be closed manually by clicking a button on it (which sets DialogResult), or automatically when the worker thread is done and the "using" block terminates. I have written a thread-safe Dispose method, since it's called from a thread other than the one that created the form, and it looks more or less like this: delegate void DisposeDelegate(); void Dispose() { if (InvokeRequired) Invoke(new DisposeDelegate(Dispose), new object[] {}); else base.Dispose(); } My understanding is that ShowDialog() doesn't dispose the form when it returns, and indeed, Dispose() is only called once - at the end of the "using" block. The problem is that occasionally, Invoke() will fail with an ObjectDisposedException, even though it's the first time Dispose() has been called! I tried tracing through the framework with ILDASM to find the source of that exception, but with no luck. How exactly does the form know whether it's been disposed already, and under what circumstances is that flag set? Jesse Tag: Inconsistent image behavior in a Winforms app. Tag: 113652

    - Draw over multiple controls When a user grabs the border of an object to expand the size or move it I would like to draw a rectangle to show the growing size or changing position. The problem is that the MouseDown eevnt is within the active control, while the line I need to be drawing is outside the control. To make things worse the line to be drawn may need to "float" over other controls on the page. If I draw on the canvas of the form the line is behind the visual controls on top.

    - NativeWindow.OnShutdown is causing a StackOverflowException Hello, I have a .NET class that creates a form and displays it using ShowDialog.

The form displays correctly and everything seems to be fine, but when the main app is closed I always get a StackOverflowException from NativeWindow.OnShutdown. By the time the app is closed I would think that everything regarding the .NET form has been cleaned up as the form has been closed and all related objects are out of scope. Any ideas?

    - Listbox captures focus This is very strange... I have a simple UserControl based on a System.Windows.Form. I have a databound listbox on the form, along with two radio buttons which aren't bound to anything. If I launch the form, everything is clickable. If I launch the form and navigate to any record in the listbox, I can no longer click any other control, except to close the form with the control box. None of the radio buttons are accessible. The visual feedback shows a click is occuring, but the click event doesn't fire, and despite autoCheck being enabled, the state doesn't toggle. This seems to be related to the databinding... but I can't imagine how. Anyone? Tag: Inconsistent image behavior in a Winforms app. Tag: 113636

Also, I notice that in C#/.NET code, the m_ prefix for member variables is no longer popular, as it was in MFC. Do people use any notation to denote member variables in C#/.NET?

    - flicker in control I have made a custom control which displays a 3D object. The user can use the mouse to animate the object. However, I am getting bad flicker from the control. I call Invalidate in the mouse move handler to animate the object. I think the problem is the control repaints itself and then I draw over that myself, so it gets painted twice causing the flicker.

    - Problems using CellFormatting event in DataGridView I'm writing a Winforms program in VB/Dot Net 2.0. I have a datagridview with 3 unbound fields that are filled in by the CellFormatting event handler, based on lookups using values of 3 other fields in the datagrid. Actually nothing is specifically 'wrong' but I'm wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions to improve it. First of all, performance could be better although I suspect this is in part due to a rather slow network. Any alternatives to or tweaks on CellFormatting that I might be forgetting? The actual lookup code is fairly simple. Second, I wonder if I'm making assumptions based on the old grid. I would like to hide the columns holding the lookup keys but I find if I set Visible to False, the lookup fails. The best I can do is wipe out the header text and set the column width to 2.

    - Webbrowser-Control / Picture resizing Hi, we're using WebbrowserControl to show different documents like pictures, movies, word-Docs etc. Showing pictures in big resolution like 3048*2000 the webbrowser control shows only a small part of the pic (size of the webbrowser control). The IE has an option to resize pictures to visible browser. How can I perform this with the webbrowser Control? To resize the pics before showing isn't a good idea - or is it the only way? Thanks !

    - Clearing a dialog box to create a new record - suspend binding? Hello, I have a dialog box in which the user edits records. (The main form has a datagridview which displays all the records. The user normally selects the desired record and opens a dialog to edit that record.) There is also a [New Record] button on the dialog box which allows the user to create a new record. What steps must I go thorugh, with respect to the binidng, to perform this? Do I have to suspend binding, then empty the controls, then restore the binding? Please clarify all the general the steps for me. BTW the underlying table is not a child of another table so other IDs are not involved.

    - Where to add event handlers so they don't fire during form load Hello, Where do I put the code that adds my EventHandlers so that they do not fire during form load? ========= Here is my code: ========== public partial class AddEditMasterTask : bsfAddEdit { public AddEditMasterTask() { InitializeComponent(); // form title this.Text = ""; // Title lblDialogTitle.Text = "Add Master Task"; // Populate Dropdowns taPhase.Fill(dataSetHipAdmin.Phase); taMeasureDim.Fill(dataSetHipAdmin.MeasureDim); taMeasureUnit.Fill(dataSetHipAdmin.MeasureUnit); // Populate form taMTask.Fill(dataSetHipAdmin.MTask); // Disable Save button, Add Event Handlers ButtonSettingsAndEventHandlers(); } public void ButtonSettingsAndEventHandlers() { // Hide Save this.btnSave.Enabled = false; // TextChanged this.descriptionTextBox.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.EditsBegun); this.baseTimeTextBox.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.EditsBegun); this.ordTextBox.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.EditsBegun); this.contractorCommentsTextBox.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.EditsBegun); // CheckedChanged this.allowParticipationCheckBox.CheckedChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.EditsBegun); this.allowQuantityCheckBox.CheckedChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.EditsBegun); this.configuredDisplayCheckBox.CheckedChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.EditsBegun); // SelectedValueChanged this.fkMeasureDimIDComboBox.SelectedValueChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.EditsBegun); this.fkMeasureUnitIDComboBox.SelectedValueChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.EditsBegun); this.fkPhaseIDComboBox.SelectedValueChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.EditsBegun); } public void EditsBegun(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Change buttons after edits begin this.btnSave.Enabled = true; } =============================== The EditsBegun event fires during form load. What did I do wrong? Doug Tag: Inconsistent image behavior in a Winforms app. Tag: 113583

I'm writing a Winforms app in Dot Net 2.0. I created a few PNG images for
use as button images in order to liven up appearances a bit. I thought I had
given the images a transparent background using Paint.Net and they display
correctly on my own computer (a lenovo T60p laptop). However when the app is
run on another computer (A Dell desktop with a flat monitor, if I remember
correctly) the images have a white background. (The actual button background
color is the system default grey. I have not changed that.)

Am I forgetting some setting?
