    - ComboBox.SelectedText always returning empty string Hi all, I know I must be missing something very simple here, but this little problem is baffling me. If you have a combobox called cmbMyCombo and add a bunch of strings to it, say, "Apple", "Pear" and "Orange", and then call the cmbMyCombo.SelectedIndex it will tell you the index of the item that was selected. However, you would think that if you called cmbMyCombo.SelectedText it would give you the TEXT of whatever was selected (i.e. Apple, Pear etc), but all it does is return an empty string. Does anyone know why this is? Dano Tag: Menu's on MDI Child Forms Tag: 74659

When it run the application I get a blank (master form) with the menu and nowt else... I basically want one of the other forms to load/appear/be visible etc, how does one call it in - lets say from the click on an item on my menu..?

    - DateTime values in DataGrid I am populating a DataSet using SqlAdapter and then displaying it in a DataGrid. Some of the values in the DataSet are DateTime. It seems by default they are displaying as dd/mm/yyyy and I want to also display the time. I have played around with the DataGridTableStyle and the DataGridTextBoxColumn but nothing seems to take affect. Is there a good resource that outlines how to use these classes or is their an easier way to go about things? -- Dan S Tag: Menu's on MDI Child Forms Tag: 74651

    - Exception with AsyncCallBack + Control.Invoke I posted it in the wrong newsgroup. So I have to repost it again. Sorry. I used Application.ThreadException event to handle all unhandled exceptions in WinForm application. However, when I start converting my application into asynchronous operation, I have faced with some problems. I used AsyncCallBack to do something when the operation finishes. However, as you might know, AsyncCallBack delegate will be called in a different thread from the activated thread (which is likely to be the thread that run the asynchronous operation). In certain cases, this delegate might throw an exception and I WOULD LIKE to have the Application.ThreadException to handle this exception. But I cannot do that since the current thread is not UI thread. So, the exception will just disappear. I also thought of a silly idea by calling Control.Invoke(ThrowAnExceptionForMe) but inside Control.Invoke, there is a try-catch block which will throw an exception back to the calling thread (which is not a UI thread). It would be nice if I can find a workaround for this without changing the way I handled the exception (I mean still depending on Application.ThreadException). Any suggestion?

    - How many touches does no touch deployment take? ERROR: Not Found Now I guess I am missing something very basic here, but it has now taken nearly a full week to get my app launched from a browser URL - and still I haven't succeeded. The error I am getting now when I launch the exe as a URL is 404: Not Found. But what isn't found???? 'ntmizar': Loaded 'dw9ryd7d', No symbols loaded. 'ntmizar': Loaded '2hulxqpj', No symbols loaded.

BACKGROUND I can launch the app by URL from the development machine but not from several other PCs which all have the .NET framwork v1.1 installed. The windows forms application (exe) and support dlls have strong names and are all in the same directory on the webserver. I have configured security to Fully Trust everything from this URL. The app has been built in debug and release configurations and all files in the bin directory copied to the webserver. A config file is used and the web.config file has been modified to permit its download Between tests I clear the download cache using gacutil and the Internet Cache The webshare has been configured not to execute scripts Any pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.

    - is Disposed required for shared form ?? Hi, I have a Windows App which uses a custom form to display messages. This form is based on the singleton pattern so that the user does not need to explicitly create an object of this form. After the Showdialog() method on this form, do i need to dispose this form explicitly. i distinctly remember one article saying that all Modal forms needs to be disposed explicitly. This is the code snippet i am using: Public Class myMessageForm Private Sub New() 'new instance not possible End Sub private Shared frmMsg as MyMessageForm = Nothing Public Shared Function Display(ByVal text as String) as DialogResult If frmMsg is nothing then frmMsg = New MyMessageForm End If 'Set some properties Return frmMsg.ShowDialog() End Function Calling Code: If txtCustId.text.Length = 0 Then MyMessageForm.Display("Invalid Customer Id") End If Any help would be appreciated.

    - Problem with the Windows Forms Designer... I have a custom control called, lets say, SportBillyComboBox, which inherits from ComboBox. When I add my control from the toolbox, I get an error (System.NullReferenceException : Object not set to an instance of an object) on my form replacing the control, but my newly added SportBillyComboBox is there (even if "you can't see it" - under the Exception) and seems to work fine in compilation and in runtime. But when I next use the Windows Forms Designer to change or add something, it automatically adds those lines in the designer : this.SportBillyComboBox1.Items.AddRange(new object[] { ((object)(resources.GetObject("SportBillyComboBox1.Items"))), ((object)(resources.GetObject("SportBillyComboBox1.Items1"))), ((object)(resources.GetObject("SportBillyComboBox1.Items2"))), ((object)(resources.GetObject("SportBillyComboBox1.Items3")))}); Even if I never asked in the Designer to add some items in the collection, it magically appears in my InitializeComponent Code - TADAM! But worse of all, it doesn't add the necessary entries into my Form1.resx resources file so the code crashes on the newly automatically magically added line. Sure, I can always erase those lines, but every time I change something in my form, it add those lines again and again and again... Anyone having a fix for this one? Even my first problem (when I add the control to my form... the little "System.NullReferenceException" error) is disturbing! Do you have any clue?

    - Windows App and Dynamic Web Services I am writing a windows application that uses a web service however the location of the web service is not always the same. It seems when I create a windows application to use the web service, the location of the service is hard-coded into the application.

    - get Handle to an Application/Window, not a Process Hi, I need to do osme handlings with an Internet Explorer Window. The problem is: when the user has one ore more Internet Explorers opened, this is (sometimes) indicated in the Task Manager as one process and not 2 or more. When trying to get all the IE-windowd with the "For Each p In Process.GetProcessesByName("IEXPLORE")"-function, I only get 1 process returned, which has as "p.MainWindowTitle" the MainWindowTitle of one of the open IE-windows. Like that I'm not able to work with that IE-window I need. Does anybody how to get arroudn this problem? Is there a way to go directly by the Windows/Applications and not the Processes?

    - Bring another Window to Front Hi, My application has some interaction with an other application. I sometimes need to put the other application to the front. The problem is that I'm not able to get a nice solution to work in every case. I tryed two ways: one way it disn't maximazi the Windowd when it was Minimized, in the other way it resized the application when it was maximzed. First I take a Handle to the other Window with the "Process.GetProcessesByName("EXTRA")" and with the "Dim handle As IntPtr = Process.MainWindowHandle" First 'solution': SetForegroundWindow(handle) This gives me the problem with Mimized Window that gets the focus, but Second 'solution': ShowWindow(handle, SW_RESTORE) 'SW_RESTORE = 9 SetForegroundWindow(handle) This gives me the problem with the Maximized Window that is suddenly resized. What I actually need is a solution that works always: When the Windowd is Maximized, it has to keep Maximized. When it is Resized it has to stay Resized. When it is Minimized it should be Restored (to the last Status: Maxmimized or Resized). I found some stuff about the IsIconic-API, but it didn't seem to work. Does anybody knows a solution for my problem? I'm really stuck with it :-/ thanks a lot in advance, Pieter Tag: Menu's on MDI Child Forms Tag: 74634

    - Suppress ActiveX Control Warning in web browser control I'm writing a windows app in c# that can display offline html forms. The app uses the Microsoft Web Browser COM control. The offline forms our generated by another application. The offline html forms contain script code that saves the users inputs in an XML file on the client machine. This script code uses the wsh FileSystemObject and causes the web browser control to issue the warning "An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction? Yes / No" Is it possible for my windows app to intercept this warning before it is displayed and return a positive response (i.e. the same as the user clicking 'Yes') ? I know the warning can be suppressed by setting the silent property to true (axWebBrowser1.Silent= true;) but this defaults the answer to false (i.e. the same as the user clicking no). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Andrew. Tag: Menu's on MDI Child Forms Tag: 74628

    - No Cursor in pop-up window I am creating an MDIForm application in CSharp.Net. When I open a new form the focus does not appear to the be in the first field. I have tried using .Focus() in the load event (after calling this.ShowForm() to get the CanFocus property to be true.) I have also tried setting the ActiveControl property of the form. None of this helps. The first field is a control we created extending the textbox control. Strangely enough if I click off of the form and then click on the form header (re-activating the form), the field gets focus fine. What's going on here? Tag: Menu's on MDI Child Forms Tag: 74597

    - PropertyGrid:customize the backColor of the 'value' part of a grid Hi, Thanks to many codes over the web(specially this one www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/custompropertygrid.asp) I've been able to use the .net propertyGrid the way I wanted. Including Editors and Converters. Now I have a really special question. Since the propertyGrid fields and properties are not all accessibles, it's a really pain in the... to change the back color of a gridItem. By using a Editor(the same for all my properties) I have been able to go through...Altmost. I can now display the color I want for a gridItem (on the 'value' part) but since I just redraw a rectangle and fill it with the appropriate color I still have a white back color for the text representation which makes my propertygrid simply ugly. Therefore, Does anybody know how to fully customize the back color of a gridItem within the propertygrid ? I'm getting mad %D Thanks Tag: Menu's on MDI Child Forms Tag: 74579

    - Stacked panel controls I'm trying to do something simple and can't seem to get my way with the forms designer. My form is divided in two: left side a tree view control, right side a panel with splitter control inbetween. So far so good. Now I want to stack panel controls on the right side. The idea is that as I click on tree nodes on the left side, a particular panel is made visible. So all the panels have to have the form as the parent. Then I programatically set visibility of the panels in the select handler for the tree. I can get this working if I massage the code that the forms designer generates. However I can't seem to drop panels into the form such that all the panels are children of the form. Furthermore my hand massaged code is obliterated the next time I fool with the form. Is there another, simpler way to achieve my goals? Regards, Bob Rundle Tag: Menu's on MDI Child Forms Tag: 74561

    - Getting the value back from a combo box? Hi all, With some help from Jakob Christensen here, and also this article (for VB'ing it).. http://www.componentdesigns.com/library/article.asp?a=2 I 'think' I have managed to achieve what I want to do (which was to write both Text and a Value to each row in the combo box). My next problem is that I seem to be unable to then 'get' the value of the selected item in the combo box... :( Any help would be appreciated, the following code is being used : Public Class ComboBoxElement Dim m_ElementText As String Dim m_ElementValue As Integer Public Sub New(ByVal ElementText As String, ByVal ElementValue As Integer) m_ElementText = ElementText m_ElementValue = ElementValue End Sub Public ReadOnly Property ElementText() As String Get Return m_ElementText End Get End Property Public ReadOnly Property ElementValue() As String Get Return m_ElementValue End Get End Property Public Overrides Function ToString() As String Return ElementText End Function End Class And I'm setting the values with this in my page_load : ComboBox1.Items.Add(New ComboBoxElement("Please select a payment option...", 99)) ComboBox1.Items.Add(New ComboBoxElement("Weekly Paid (£14.95 admin cost for each week of use)", 1)) ComboBox1.Items.Add(New ComboBoxElement("Monthly Paid (£44.95 admin cost for each month of use)", 2)) I have managed to return the 'index' value for the selected item in the combo box, but then I dont seem to be able to find a way to use this to retrieve the text or the value from it (the value is what I am really after).. Your help is appreciated, Regards Rob Tag: Menu's on MDI Child Forms Tag: 74556

    - minimising a modal form to taskbar Hi, I have a form which creates and shows another modal form (which I have turned off taskbar visibility) but when this 'child' form is minimized it goes to a small title window (like it would if it were an MDI child window) above the taskbar and the parent window is now visible but you can't click on it as the modal form is still active, just minimized. I hate this functionality as I would like that when this child window is minimised it disappears and it's parent minimizes to the taskbar. On clicking the minimized window in the taskbar, it maximises the parent and the child modal form as well. What is the best way to do this? Thanks Nev Tag: Menu's on MDI Child Forms Tag: 74555

    - Main Menu - common code? Hi all, I am putting a small app together which will have 3 windows forms, the main menu across the top will be the same regardless of which form the user is on. I have noticed that as I built the first form it has added all of the 'protected with events' stuff for the main menu bits and bobs. I'm thinking that I would be better of with my main menu code somewhere seperate, just the once and then call it as needed for each form - any changes are then only done the once... Can someone suggest how I might do this please. Any help appreciated (new to .net and windows stuff - mainly worked on the web side of things with .net so far).

    - MDI Border Removed How do I refresh if MDIParent.Refresh/.Invalidate dont do anything? I want it to refresh immediatly after setting the style. This is how I removed the border. Public Shared Sub MDIInside3dBorder(ByVal mdi As Form, ByVal Flag As Boolean) If mdi Is Nothing Then Exit Sub If mdi.IsMdiContainer Then Dim x As String = " " Declares.GetClassName(mdi.Handle, x, x.Length) x = Replace(x, "Window.8", "MDICLIENT") Dim curstyle As Integer, newstyle As Integer Dim hwnd As IntPtr = Declares.FindWindowEx(mdi.Handle, IntPtr.Zero, x, vbNullString) If hwnd.Equals(hwnd.Zero) Then Exit Sub curstyle = Declares.GetWindowLong(hwnd, Constants.GWL_EXSTYLE) If Flag Then curstyle = curstyle Or Constants.WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE Else curstyle = curstyle And (Not Constants.WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE) End If newstyle = Declares.SetWindowLong(hwnd, Constants.GWL_EXSTYLE, curstyle) 'Refresh HERE with newstyle End If End Sub Thanks!

    - Help me remember a vsnet framework ad? Access dev testimonial Within the last month or so, in a mag or on the net, I saw an add for what I think was a vbnet ide framework or addin where there was a testimonial from a user that said they were a long time MS Access developer and that they liked whatever framework it was. I have looked "everywhere" and can't find it again. Does this ring a bell with anyone? It could have been in an older mag, but I don't think so. Tag: Menu's on MDI Child Forms Tag: 74550

    - Changing focus leads to increase in memory!!! I have observed that when I change the focus (Not minimize) from my .Net app to some other app and bring the focus back, the memory used and VM size increases slightly. I have observed the same behavior for some other .Net apps also. Why is this happening? Is there a memory leak somewhere in my app or is it something to do with framework? Is framework painting my GUI again or something like that? Tag: Menu's on MDI Child Forms Tag: 74547

Is it possible to create Main Menus on MDI Child forms as opposed having them displayed via the MDI parent form. And if it is possible how is this achieved?
