    - Resize PictureBox hidden on different TabPage on form resize Hello, is there a way to resize a fill-docked PictureBox hidden on a TabPage, which is not selected, on form resize? I do not know why, but if I run my application, maximize it without switching to the TabPage containing the PictureBox, and draw something onto the PictureBox, the image has the size of the PictureBox BEFORE the form was maximized, hence it is stretched. If I switch to that TabPage before drawing, then the image is alright. What should I do on form resize to tell the PictureBox to change its dimensions? Thanks for any help.

    - Sizing a "RichTextBox" Hi there, I have a dialog with a "RichTextBox" that's anchored on all 4 sides of the dialog. I now want to resize this control in my "OnLoad()" handler so that it reflects the size of its text. Because of the anchoring, I can do this by simply resizing the dialog itself. The (condensed) code basically looks like this: class MyDialog : Form { private RichTextBox m_TextBox; protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) { Graphics graphics = m_TextBox.CreateGraphics(); SizeF newTextBoxSize = graphics.MeasureString(m_TextBox.Text, m_TextBox.Font, CalculateMaxTextWidth()); int newTextBoxWidth = (int)Math.Ceiling(newTextBoxSize.Width); int newTextBoxHeight = (int)Math.Ceiling(newTextBoxSize.Height); Width = Width + (newTextBoxWidth - m_TextBox.ClientSize.Width) Height = Height + (newTextBoxHeight - m_TextBox.ClientSize.Height); } } This works except that the vertical scrollbar now shows up sometimes in "m_TextBox". If I increase "Height" on the last line by just a few extra pixels however (sometimes just one), then the vertical scroll bar disappears. I can't play guessing games however so does anyone know how to calculate the "Height" so that it always accomodates.the control without a scrollbar. Thanks.

    - Using Visio InterOp in VB.Net - Loading Visio silently Hello, I am having problems loading the visio application silently. When I load word in the background in VB.NET, it remains hidden and the user doesn't know its loaded. However, when I load Visio in the background, the window pops up and then disappears. Is this a fault with the visio interop libraries, or can this be fixed? At the moment, I am using the same code that opens word to open visio. Is there a better way to open visio in VB.NET?

    - Seeking advice for DataGridView with several Unbound Columns Hi, I'm looking for advice or samples regarding the implementation of what is essentially a bound grid, most columns are bound, however there are a couple of unbound columns which are basically calculated totals (read-only) of data in the bound columns (which are read/write). I've implemented the CellValueNeeded event for the unbound columns. This works when each row is first loaded. However, I then need to be responsive to changes that that the user may make to the values of the bound columns. when this happens, I need to recalculate the values of the bound columns. I know whenever the user makes a change to a cell; CellValueChanged. At that point, how to I 'invalidate' the current row so that it will refetch all of the calculated columns (thus causing the recalculated values to appear). So here's what I really need to understand how to do: 1. Force an Unbound cell to refresh its value. 2. Force all Unbound cells in a given Row to refresh their values. 3. Force all Rows in a Grid to refresh all of their respective unbound columns. (and if someone can show me a link, I'd really appreciate it. I'm usually pretty good with Google but for some reason in this case, I'm turning up documentation on Bound and Unbound modes, but really very little on the mixed mode of binding which I'm trying to implement.) Thanks for your advice!!! Joseph Geretz Tag: Localization and resource management through XML files Tag: 112802

    - Modal Dialogs Such as MessageBox Should Appear Above Always-on-Top I suggest that modal dialog boxes have a higher priority than non-modal always-on-top forms, as an unanswered modal dialog will give the appearance of a hung app. Good morning. I've been beating my head against a problem where my C# app was hanging, and I finally isolated it to MessageBox.Show(). I use this function many times in the app, and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working in this one case. Just in case anyone else goes through this same problem, here was what was happening: part of my app is always-on-top, as a kind of floating menu. The message box was appearing _behind_ the menu, and for this one bit of code, the message box was so small it didn't show up around the menu. For my app, a better solution would probably be to put all my forms inside a MDI frame, rather than my current GDK-ish solution with free-floating forms, but if this post saves anyone an hour's headache, or at least gets a laugh, it's worth the bits! ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Idosynchrosies relating to the taskbar A couple of issues for the boffins among you. Given a screen with the taskbar docked at the bottom and a maximized form with a statusbar docked at the bottom where the ShowItemToolTips property is set to True, when one moves the mouse over any of the items on the statusbar that have a ToolTip and the ToolTip is painted so that it overlaps the taskbar then the ToolTip blinks at a fairly fast frequency. On XP this behaviour occurs along the whole length of the taskbar however on Vista this behaviour occurs only when the ToolTip overlaps the system tray area. To me it appears that on XP, the whole taskbar is being repainted several times per second and that on Vista, the system tray area is being repainted several times per second, thus causing an overlapping window (the ToolTip in this case) to be repainted as well. Again, given a screen with the taskbar docked at the bottom and set to 'Keep on top of other windows', on XP, when one resizes a window by dragging the bottom border, one cannot drag the border any lower than the top of the taskbar, however, on Vista, when one does the eqivalent operation one can drag the bottom border lower than the top of the taskbar with the result that the lower portion of the window ends up behind the taskbar. This one is probably a bit more subtle in that it would appear that when a window is being resized by dragging a border, Vista is using an equivalent of Screen.Bounds to limit the drag operation rather than an equivalent of Screen.WorkingArea. Needless to say, both observed behaviours are quite disconcerting. Has anyone else noticed either of these behaviours and perhaps come up with a workaround?

    - Unable to close Microsoft Word within AxWebBrowser Control Hello, I am currently opening Word in an AxWebBrowser Control on a form. When the user saves the saves the document using a save + close button on the form, it saves the document, navigates the AxWebBrowser Control to about:blank and exits word and then closes the form. The exiting of word and the closing of the form is run in the AxWebBrowser.NavigateComplete event handler. The issue I have, is if the user clicks the close button on the form, it still leaves word running. If I try to exit word in the form.closing or form.closed event handler, it has an error as the word document is still displaying in the AxWebBrowser Control. Because the form is closing, it cannot run the AxWebBrowser.NavigateComplete event handler. This then leaves multiple instances of Word open in the Process tables. Does anyone know if there is a way of closing word without any errors when the user closes the form? Many Thanks, Dean Tag: Localization and resource management through XML files Tag: 112726

    - vs 2005, borken installation? No controls show up I've installed vs 2005 pro and sp1. When I try to add controls to a winform, they never appear on the canvas. The controls are listed at the bottom of the design area, so apparently they are being added to the form. But after adding buttons tabs whatever, the form is still blank looking. Per property box all are visible with valid locations and dimensions. Something is very screwed up. Has this been heard of? How can the ide fail at such basic tasks?

    - Waiting for a process to Finish (Threading) Hello, I have having issues with threading. Below is the code I am running: 'Prints the word doc myWordApp.ActivePrinter = cboPrintList.SelectedItem myWordApp.PrintOut() 'Sets the default printer back myWordApp.ActivePrinter = strDefaultPrinter 'Pauses until the word document is printed System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000) 'Closes the word document myWordApp.Quit(False) The issue is that the word document is still printing in word as the Word Application closes, so the document never prints. Is there a way to have quit word once the printing has finished by using threads. I am quite new to threading, so I'm probably missing something obvious (or not).

    - vs2005: windows form won't minimize or maximize I have a main form window (c#) that won't minimize or maximize. Clicking the control menu buttons will minimize or maximize the form, but the form immediately reverts back to normal size. This just started all of a sudden, I have rebuilt the app, and searched through the form code and properties. Nothing was changed as far as I know, and there is nothing out of the ordinary I can find. I'm pretty far into designing this form and I'd like to keep it if I could rather than redesigning it since it has toolbars, tree and grid controls.

    - Looking for suggestions on design patterns/architecture books Hey guys, I'm looking to improve my knowledge of design patterns and n-tiered application architecture. Do any of you have any suggestions on good reading material? I know the GoF book on design patterns is very popular but I was wondering if that is my best choice to learn these design patterns. It is a pretty old book and in C+, and I am concentrating on C# but I don't think that would be a problem. However, if anyone knows a book thats just as good as the GoF one and in C#, please let me know. Besides desing patterns, I would like to learn more about n-tiered architecture and application development (winforms and soon WPF). Any suggestions for this (C# preferred)?

    - Question on WPF Is it possible to develop a windows app using WPF and net 3.0 that will run in a browser or on the desktop without any changes to it? Bill Tag: Localization and resource management through XML files Tag: 112692

I would like to do Localization in a sepearate way. I need to keep all the
localized strings in XML files.For each culture there will be a seperate xml
resource file. This files will be kept serialized. There will be a seperate
Class file (Eg. LocalizationMAnager) to manage these xml files.We will
retrieve the localized strings from serialised xml files using this class by
passing the culture and master string.
How will this be done. What are the things that needs to be taken care by
doing this way campared to the normal way. Pl help.

Why do you want to do this? Trying to localize an application by
centralizing all of the strings in a single file per culture
sacrifices many of the benefits of the .NET localization model. In
particular it means you cannot view/edit the localized forms/controls
at design time and ensure that controls are sized appropriately for
each language.

The main challenge with the .NET localization model is the number of
resource files you need to manage and providing a mechanism for the
translator to translate them. This can be overcome with the use of a
good third party localization tool. Infralution has just released a
new product, Globalizer.NET, that simplifies this process. It is
very reasonably priced and has a free Translator Edition that can be
used by the translator to perform translations, preview the localized
forms and controls and even build the fully localized application.
You can get more information and download an evaluation from
www.infralution.com/globalizer.html
