    - Databinding problem I thought I had this figured out, but apparently I did not. I have a list of objects, lets just use Person as an example. The list implements IBindingList. One of the properties of the object is Address, which is an Address object. Binding the list of Person objects to a datagrid produces the anticipated results, each of them shows as a row in the grid. You can even click the 'plus' and navigate to the Address object. Great. What I want to do though is to show JUST the addresses in the list. I don't want to see the individual information at all, just the addresses corresponding to the individuals. What I tried was: binding = new Binding("Datasource", personList, "Address") Grid.Databindings.Add(binding) Unfortunately, what this does is show the ONE address of the current Person. Which is great if there is only one Person in the list, but if there are more than one it only shows a single address. So how do I do what I want? Tag: Invisible toolbar buttons Tag: 71604

    - what's the best way to detect click in child controls? If I have ControlX that contains ControlY, and the user clicks on ControlY, I want to catch that in ControlX. I know I could use the OnControlAdded override to add a click event handler to every control added to ControlX, but that only works one level deep unless I recurse through all the children and also handle every child's ControlAdded event, which is kind of ugly. Is there a better way? TIA, Bob Tag: Invisible toolbar buttons Tag: 71577

    - Win form pops up with no reason Hi, I am using C#. I have a form (form1) with multiple controls on it. There is a button and when it is clicked it opens a different form (form2). When form2 is closed a method of form1 is run and form1 becomes active. On form1 there are multiple text fields. The problem is that when the form1 becomes active (after form2 was closed) and the focus is in a textbox and I hit the enter key, the second form (form2) pops up without any reason. For the text box I handle the keypress event but when this happens the event is not captured. I do not understand why form2 shows up without any reason. This happens only after form2 was opened and closed. If the form2 was not opened and I hit enter in the textboxes everything is working fine. Thank you. Tag: Invisible toolbar buttons Tag: 71575

    - Tabpage Dynamically adding controls I am completely frustrated trying to control the order that dynamically created controls appear in a TabPage. I have tried tp.Controls.Add(myControl) in a loop which does not work. I then added my controls to a Control array Control[] oConts and tried tp.Controls.AddRange(oConts); which does not work Then I tried, in addition to the above, looping through and explicitly seting the childindex with tp.Controls.SetChildIndex(myCont,iIndex); which still does not work Is this a known bug or am I overlooking something very simple???

    - Suppressing paint event on forms Hello I need a way to disable form re-painting until I am done enabling and disabling all controls on the form. The problem I am having is that we have multiple objects (a security component and the specific business UI object) that will indepently enable and disable controls based on a user's role and the business rules of an object (for example, the user may have the rights to enter interview results, but if the applicant hasn't yet been invited, the Interview Results control will be disabled). We are using an Edit button on all our forms, so when that button is pressed, all the controls flicker on and off as the different objects run through their routines. What we want to do then is suspend form painting at the start of the various evaluations, let all the objects enable and disable the various controls, and at the end allow the form to paint the final state of all the controls. We looked into SuspendLayout, but it doesn't seem to cover our problem, plus it is too granular, applying only to the control it is called on. We would like to tell the form to suspend all re-drawing until we give the signal Any help would be appreciated Thanks -Tod Tag: Invisible toolbar buttons Tag: 71573

    - Setting focus in OnLoad not working Hello I have a few forms where I want to set the focus to a specific control thats not the first one in the taborder. Ive tried to do that in OnLoad but that doesnt work, the focus reverts to the first control. In one form where I just want the focus to change from a tabcontrols tabs to the first real control I managed to get it to work by setting the focus in the VisibleChanged event. But in another one that I reuse for questions to the user (so the control will be shown and hidden many times) that doesnt work either. In what event should I be doing this? I cant change the taborder, it just wont work with the controls (you cant set a tabcontrol to be selected after its pages). Thanks in advance, Dan Tag: Invisible toolbar buttons Tag: 71559

    - Printing in .NET redundant? Every article or piece of information about printing a Windows Form in .NET suggests that I have to draw each control myself But when a Windows Form is refreshed the Form::OnPaint(e) method is called, where e is of type PaintEventArgs The OnPaint() base method ***DRAWS*** the controls and their contents into the graphics context (e.Graphics So it seems to be very silly and a downright waste of time that I have to basically reverse engineer th OnPaint() method to draw a form into the print handler's graphic context Is there no way to just print what is already drawn by the OnPaint() method Or is the necessary API purposely withheld by Microsoft Thanks for any help here Tag: Invisible toolbar buttons Tag: 71530

    - TextWidth In VB6 there was a function for the WindowsForm called TextWidth. This function when called passing a string you would return the width of the string as it will be displayed on your screen. With this I was able to appropriately set the controls width property with the contents of its text property. Making the text to be displayed in its entirety without being cutoff. Is there a VB.NET equivalent? I looked around for this function and it no longer exists. Is there a system class that would do the same for me Thanks... Tag: Invisible toolbar buttons Tag: 71523

    - DataGrid Sorting returns wrong values from dataTable Hello, I have a datagrid in my C# application. The Grid has 4 columns, one is a Boolcoluumn, other 3 are string columns. Out of which bool column is editable & the last column is editable too. Using DataGridColumnStyle i've allowed Sorting to true for the whole Datatable. At a time the user is allowed to Enable only one bool column for the whole Grid. I've handled this using CurrentCellChanged event for that column by disabling all the row's bool value & enabling the selected one.Whenever the user clicks the column header to enable sorting either Ascending or Descending, it sorts accordingly based upon the clicked column header. The real problem is after sorting, when the user selects a particular bool column, in the CurrentCellChanged Event it gives the correct Row Number according to the selection, but using the Rownumber if i enable that selected row, it selects a different one rather than the currently selected row. The selected row happens to be the one which i've constructed in the begining. After sorting it hasn't updated the DataTable. I tried calling AcceptChanges() to the DataTable before selecting doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure is this a bug or a limitation with respect to DataGrid using DataTable & Dataset. Here's my sample code. private void CreateDataGrid() { myDataSet = new DataSet("myDataSet"); myDataTable = new DataTable("myDataTable"); DataColumn Parameter_cEnable,Parameter_cDefaultName,Parameter_cParameterInst,Parameter_ cParameterAssign; Parameter_cEnable = new DataColumn("Select", typeof(bool)); Parameter_cDefaultName = new DataColumn("DefaultName",typeof(string)); Parameter_cParameterInst = new DataColumn("Parameter",typeof(string)); Parameter_cParameterAssign = new DataColumn("AssignedName",typeof(string)); myDataTable.Columns.Add(Parameter_cEnable); myDataTable.Columns.Add(Parameter_cDefaultName); myDataTable.Columns.Add(Parameter_cParameterInst); myDataTable.Columns.Add(Parameter_cParameterAssign); myDataSet.Tables.Add(myDataTable); DataGridTableStyle myDataGridTableStyle = new DataGridTableStyle(); myDataGridTableStyle.MappingName = "myDataTable"; myDataGridTableStyle.RowHeadersVisible = false; myDataGridTableStyle.ColumnHeadersVisible = false; myDataGridTableStyle.AllowSorting = true; myDataGrid.SetDataBinding(myDataSet,"myDataTable"); } PPLCols.DG_Selection is the bool column private void __ParmVar_DT_CurrentCellChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { DataGrid dgLocal = (DataGrid)sender; if (dgLocal.CurrentCell.ColumnNumber == (int)PPLCols.DG_Selection) { foreach(DataRow myRow in this.__ParmVar_DataTable.Rows) { myRow[(int)PPLCols.DG_Selection] = false; } myDataTable.Rows[dgLocal.CurrentRowIndex][(int)PPLCols.DG_Selection] = true; __CurrentRowIndex = dgLocal.CurrentRowIndex; } } Any help will be appreciated.

    - DataGrid - Tab skips my custom column If you take the combobox column style from somewhere like the datagrid faq at syncfusion.com and replace the combobox with a button or another textbox and then fix up the code to compile and run, there will be a problem. When tabbing into the column in question, the focus will enter the column on the tab key press, and move on to the following column on the tab key up. This is obviously not what is desired. The reason I ask is that I wrote my own databound combobox control (because the Winforms one stinks - can't turn off the border,...), but when I use it in the grid like is done with the combobox example in the syncfusion datagrid faq, I get the behavior described above. Further investigation shows that I get that behavior with just about any control (button, textbox) except the raw combobox. Any ideas? Tag: Invisible toolbar buttons Tag: 71519

    - CurrencyManager.AddNew - Cancel ?? Hey Gang, I posted this on .DataBinding, but that is a dead group (no activity) so I retracted it. I am actively overcoming my fears and prejudices toward DataBindinding, and have come across another issue. My setup is like this: 3 textboxes bound to a table in the dataset (tbl1). A listbox that shows all records in the table. 3 more textboxes bound to tbl2 in the same dataset, the child table of tbl1. I have 2 currency managers, one for the Parent, and one for the Child tables. The AddNew button for the child calls cmChild.AddNew I need to havdle the case where a user then clicks another record in the listbox. I get an error thrown about tbl2 fields not allowing nulls. This occurs before any events on the CurrencyManager, and After my Listbox's Click event. How would I handle this (what event), and do I just call 'CancelCurrentEdit'? Thanks!

    - Datagrid Automatic Format Hi, I am populating datagrid with user defined queries, so I do not know, what table(s) the user will query. I want to automatically resize the column width as wide as (at least) the column name is. I didn't find any solution within the knowledge base for that problem. Any Ideas welcome ... thx Klaus Tag: Invisible toolbar buttons Tag: 71465

    - Richtextbox Find problem Hi, The following function is a sample from the online documentation for VB.NET ---code--- Public Function FindMyText(ByVal searchText As String, ByVal searchStart As Integer, ByVal searchEnd As Integer) As Integer ' Initialize the return value to false by default. Dim returnValue As Integer = -1 ' Ensure that a search string and a valid starting point are specified. If searchText.Length > 0 And searchStart >= 0 Then ' Ensure that a valid ending value is provided. If searchEnd > searchStart Or searchEnd = -1 Then ' Obtain the location of the search string in richTextBox1. Dim indexToText As Integer = RichTextBox1.Find(searchText, searchStart, searchEnd, RichTextBoxFinds.WholeWord) ' Determine whether the text was found in richTextBox1. If indexToText >= 0 Then ' Return the index to the specified search text. returnValue = indexToText End If End If End If Return returnValue End Function ---code end--- the member function .Find gets a start parameter (int) and an end parameter, the documentation states, that if the end parameter is set to -1, the find is done backwards. It does not do it that way, or did I misunderstand ? I want to automatically select complete words that were entered, using the KeyUp Event and looking for the previous blank or CRLF (which should be the character preceeding any word. The start parameter I do set to RichTextBox1.SelectionStart -1 (remeber, the last character entered was a blank, which triggerd the event, so the last word entered ends at SelectionStart -1. Can anybody please hlep me in this ? thx Klaus Tag: Invisible toolbar buttons Tag: 71464

    - Getting Strongly Named Flash Shockwave dlls for use with No-Touch Deployment Smart Client I am attempting to a Windows Forms application running as a Smart Client (e.g. No-Touch deployment). I found that unless I strongly named my application assembly, IEexec used by No-Touch deployment would load multiple copies of application in the download assembly cache (which would cause InvalidTypeExceptions in my application). However, my application has a Flash movie in it. The Shockwave dll's I have are not strongly named so I get the following error: "Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly 'AxInterop.ShockwaveFlashObjects' does not have a strong name" Strongly named assemblies cannot contain non-strongly named dll's. Does anyone know how to get or make strongly named versions of AxInterop.ShockwaveFlashObjects and Interop.ShockwaveFlashObjects? I tried using the tlbimp.exe utility, but it gives the following error: TlbImp error: The input file AxInterop.ShockwaveFlashObjects.dll' is not a valid type library. I tried using tlbexp to make a type library, but I couldn't use tlbimp to convert it back after that. Tag: Invisible toolbar buttons Tag: 71463

I have added a toolbar to my WinForms app. The toolbar has 3 buttons and a
separator. I have associated an imagelist with the toolbar and setup the
images and buttons appropriately.

At design-time I can see the bitmaps on the buttons, but when I run the
application the buttons are blank.

After googling around a bit I saw that some people got around this by making
sure that
this.toolBar.Buttons.AddRange (in InitializeComponent()) came at the very
bottom of the toolbar section. I made this change but it did not affect the
results.

Can anyone think of anything else that might be going wrong here?

Thanks,
Tom

If you are using Windows XP Visual Styles, call 'Application.DoEvents'
after calling 'Application.EnableVisualStyles'.
