    - Crystal Reports SetDataSource Method takes a long time! I've been developing a VB .NET Windows Form app that utilizes the built-in Crystal Report Viewer. When I create typed instances of my report document and my ADO.NET dataset and then apply the dataset to the report document, it takes up to 5 minutes to process the single line of code. Here's a code example: Dim rpt As New TypedReportDocument Dim ds As New TypedDataSet ' this next line takes up to five minute to process! rpt.SetDataSource(ds) Some other information: the dataset has approx. 20 tables without any built-in constraints or links. It's just a simple definition of the data. My only thought is when you apply the dataset to the report document, the report document is going through the entire linking process to link the tables together. Perhaps if I link the data tables in the dataset in the dataset designer, I can cut the execution time down. Any other ideas? Or has someone found a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance!

    - How to specify width of each of the columns of a DataGrid? I am feeding a class as the DataSource of the DataGrid. When the processing is done this data grid then displays the data in four columns. Now, I know you can specify table styles for a data grid, but what about being able to specify the width of each and every one of the columns of the datagrid rather than as a whole (same width for all columns which is easy)? I don't want to have to resize the columns at runtime every time the application is run. Thx, Emilio Tag: Message Queue Tag: 81338

    - Forms in Class Libraries - Beginners Question Hi I am just beginning learning Dot Net, though I am a fairly experienced VB6 traditional developer. I have a Solution which contains of libraries of classes which I want to reuse widely in multiple projects , including some forms which I want to inherit. These forms need to show the output of the back -office classes often using 'MessageBox.Show. Because the form is stored in a class library it seems to have lost some function including MessageBox. Is there a simple way round this by importing the right namespace or is this a no-no for Windows forms stored in Class Libraries Roger Stenson Tag: Message Queue Tag: 81321

    - OpenDialogBox.ReadOnlyChecked has a weird behavior The ReadOnlyChecked property of the OpenDialogBox class does not always report the correct value. If I select more than one file, the ReadOnlyChecked property reports that it is checked even if it is not. There is one except to this weird behavior which is if I select one file and uncheck the "Open as read-only" checkbox then all subsequent calls to ShowDialog will work correctly. Below are the steps to repeat this problem. Can anyone help? Call ShowDialog Select more than one file Uncheck "Open as read-only" Click OK Query ReadOnlyChecked; true is returned (it should return false) Call ShowDialog Select one file Uncheck "Open as read-only" Click OK Query ReadOnlyChecked; false is returned Call ShowDialog Select more than one file "Open as read-only" is already unchecked Click OK Query ReadOnlyChecked; false is returned (it works now) Tag: Message Queue Tag: 81315

    - Get bitmap from clipboard problem I have a program where I'm copying a bitmap from the clipboard and displaying it. It seems that after I perform this operation a few times (3-4) even after confirming there is bitmap data on the clipboard {if (iData.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap))} when I get the data it returns null. I have made a simple test case in MSVC.NET File->New->Project->Windows Application. Under the InitializeComponent() I added this simple test case. for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { // Get the image from the clipboard IDataObject iData = Clipboard.GetDataObject(); // Make sure we have a bitmap available if (iData.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap)) { Image kImage = (Image)iData.GetData(DataFormats.Bitmap); int t = 0; // So we can see kImage in debugger } } The first 3 times kImage will be a System.Drawing.Bitmap object. Afterwards it will be null. I can only imagine that there is some sort of resource limit I'm coming up against (This is my first C# project). I'm using a "print screen" capture (3120 x 2400) which is quite large. Remember to put something on the clipboard to test. Printscreen works great. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

    - Thread Part 3 Hello and Thanks again, Maybe I am not explaining what I am looking for good enough and maybe I should not be using muli-threads at all. What I am after is the following: Form1 instantiates Form2 using SHOW, which is always on top. Form2 is a clipboard, where the user can copy and paste information into it and into Form3 which will filled with Textboxes. In Form2 (The clipboard) there is a button that says "Send Data To Form3". Background Info: Form1 has a button that say's "Add New Data". When the "Add New Data" button is clicked, From3 is displayed using SHOWDIALOG. Here the user can add new data to a database. When Form2's button is clicked ("Send Data To Form3"), I need Form3 to be displayed using SHOWDIALOG so that only one instance of the form is being used at a time. I still need Form2 (The clipboard) to be on top and still usable (Able to be moved and accessed) Thanks, Chuck Tag: Message Queue Tag: 81303

    - Form Inheritance and missing controls Ok, I know this is going to sound odd but this is what I am seeing. I have a form inheritance chain that looks like this: baseform --> childform -- > two seperate endforms (endform1, endform2) When I open the designer for childform I only see the controls that were laid out in baseform. When I open either endforms I only see what was defined in baseform + childform. Attaching to the vs process and attempting to debug into InitializeComponent when opening the designer for endform1, it never hits the breakpoints in endform1 even in the constructor. It does however hit the breakpoints in childform's constructor. So essentially I now have a bunch of forms that I cannot edit in the designer. Does anyone have any clue as to what is going on?

    - Serial Communications - Threading I have written an winform application (c#) that uses serial communication to transmit and receive data to a device that users respond to by pressing various proximity sensors. The data is transmitted and received correctly and all works well. A part of the application is to flash LEDs on the device when the it has not been used for some while, in the meantime the UI goes into a form of a Screen Saver. The device then waits for a sensor to be touched and if so, then returns into life. Unfortunately, when i transmitt the commands to flash the LEDs the application hangs until the transmitt has completed and as it transmits upto 10 flashes, this is very slow (app does not respond until transmits are complete). Can anyone reccommend a method for transmitting (perhaps on a thread) and not having to wait for the transmitt to complete i.e. so that UI does not freeze.

Is there anyone that might know what I have forgot to code in my ListViewItemComparer-class?

But when the user wants to send that data from this form to a new form (frm1Modify) the form is displayed but frm1PollDatabase becomes disabled because of the Showdialog method. I cannot use show for this form to be displayed. If the original thread (Main) displays this form wont it prevent this problem? The above code did not keep frm1PollDatabase from being disabled.

    - Window subclassing and mouse events VS.NET 2003, VB.NET, .NET 1.1 I'm working on a part of a project that is re-creating the Office 2003 mail notification window. I have almost everything done except for one part. I need to allow the user to move the window by clicking and dragging anywhere in the window (the window has no title bar.) Per many different sources, I have overridden the WndProc() method of my window thusly: --------------------------------- Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message) Call MyBase.WndProc(m) Select Case m.Msg Case WM_NCHITTEST If m.Result.ToInt32 = HTCLIENT Then m.Result = New IntPtr(HTCAPTION) End Select End Sub --------------------------------- When I run the form, all is well - almost. I have found that when I do this, I don't get any of my form's mouse events. I am doing a lot of hand-work here, so I have MouseEnter, MouseLeave, and MouseDown events coded. These perform various functions that simulate functionality I would normally get by using controls (buttons, linklabels, etc.) but chose not to use. My reasons for not using them is because of the functionality I am trying to simulate: 1. The form fades in to 20% transparency when it's shown. It then begins a timer for fade-out (time set by the user, with an application default provided.) 2. If the mouse moves into the form, it goes to 0% transparency (opaque). 3. If the mouse leaves the form, it returns to 20% transparency. 4. The form will fade away at the first opportunity - either when reaching the fade-out time, or when the mouse leaves the form, whichever happens *last*. Using controls caused MouseEnter and MouseLeave events to fire on the controls and form multiple all over the place, and I wasn't able to handle them in any sort of satisfactory way. So I dumped the controls and wrote it all by hand. Since I don't get the mouse events, nothing happens when the mouse moves within the form. The form does not go opaque, and the fade-out will happen even if the mouse is within the form. I suppose I could re-create the functionality within the WndProc() method, but I don't understand why I have to - since my custom WndProc() is not trapping mouse events, and the first thing I do is call the base method, those should still fire - right? What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated. TIA - Scott Tag: Message Queue Tag: 81249

    - Multiple minimize and maximize buttons appering on MDI menu contro Below is text of the simillar problem we are facing allready posted by another user on the net... I have created an MDI application. When the first child form is opened and maximized one set of minimize, restore and close buttons are displayed on the menu bar. After closing the child window a set of minimize, restore and close buttons remain even though the child form has been closed. EXAMPLE: http://novasolution.net/Error2-2.jpg When a second set child form is opened and closed a second set of minimize, restore and close are shown on the menu bar. Each time a child form is opened and closed, another set of controls appears on the menu bar. When I open a new child form the multiple sets of buttons disappear. When the child form is maximized, only one set of buttons displays in the menu bar. When the child window is closed another set of buttons is displayed on the menu bar. some how we are unbale find a solution to this problem.. Any ideas.. Example Tag: Message Queue Tag: 81234

    - Forms pseudo MDI support While trying to implement a MDI Application I found that the Windows.Forms classes that implement this functionality don't actually use the WIN32 MDI API. Using Spy++ I found that the MdiClient class does not use the 'MDICLIENT' window class. I also hooked up a Messagefilter to look at the MDI messages send to the mdiclient, the only messages I saw were WM_MDISETMENU and WM_MDIREFRESHMENU. Can anyone confirm this or does anyone know why this was done? Tag: Message Queue Tag: 81233

    - UPDATE SQLTABELLE VS2003 C# Ich habe einen SQLDATAADAPTER erstellt und ein DATSET generiert. Diese Dataset stelle ich in einem DATAGRID dar. In der Tabelle ist das Feld UKID als Primärschlüssel definiert und damit werden keine Nullwerte zugelassen. Num füge ich im DATAGRID einen Satz hinzu und update den SQLDATAADAPTER(DATASET). Die neuen Sätze stehen in der SQl-Tabelle. Nun möchte ich aber im DATAGRID das Feld UKID (Primärschlüssel) nicht mit anzeigen und somit bei kann ich bei einem neuen Satz auch keinen Wert im DATAGRID dafür eintragen. Betätige ich dann den Button zum Update des SQLDATAADAPTERS erhalte ich folgende Fehlermeldung "Spalte UKID läßt keine Nullen zu ..." Wie kann ich dem Feld UKID einen Wert im Code zuweisen, damit ein neuer Satz im DATAGRID akzeptiert wird? Das heist, der Nutzer soll bei einem neuen Satz im DATAGRID nicht die UKID eintragen können, die soll im Programmcode mit einem Wert belegt werden.

    - Control layout problem with system large fonts I have seen many people stating that they have the same problem. I have the font DPI setting set to 125% normal size (from the Display Properties dialog when you right-click on the Desktop). If a Windows Form is more than simle (has many controls), then the most chance is that when the Form is shown in runtime, the layout is somewhat in right condition (Some controls might position beyond the visible client area). I am not sure if Microsoft noticed this problem. I think it is a very *BAD* problem, based on that Microsoft/Windows have been strong in user friendly GUI since their beginning. My $0.02.

    - Threading Hello, I am making a app that creates a thread to show a clipboard. If the clipboard is double clicked, another window is displayed, the event is handled inside the main app. What I would like to do is have the clipboard use the main thread of the application that called it to handle the new window. Is this possible and if so how would this be accomplished. ie. Form1 creates a thread and the thread displays Form2. Form2 when double clicked raises an event that creates a new form (Form3). The event is handled inside Form1. How can I get Form3 to be managed by the main thread (Form1)? Thanks, Chuck Tag: Message Queue Tag: 81225

    - Auto Expanding TextBox/Controls Hi there, I've googled this problem, and not found a suitable solution yet. I was wondering if anyone has made any progress? Basically, I want to make a textbox automagically adjust it's height to show all the text it contains. So, if I add text then it grows, and it shrinks if I remove text. This is similar to the CanGrow property in MS Access controls. I'm willing to purchase a control if anyone knows of any, I'd just like to get this cracked without spending *too* much time "fiddling" about! Any help much appreciated Tobin Tag: Message Queue Tag: 81217

    - Add user control to winforms Toolbox I created a user control which I signed and added to GAC. Users add the control to the toolbox by navigating to the dll. However when they drag and drop the control from the toolbox onto the winform they get an error, which basically means they need to manually add references to other dlls which are referenced by my user control dll. Is there a solution to this? Thank you Tag: Message Queue Tag: 81214

Below is code of rectangle control : public class TransRectangle : System.Windows.Forms.UserControl { public TransRectangle() { InitializeComponent(); } protected override CreateParams CreateParams { get { CreateParams cp=base.CreateParams; cp.ExStyle|=0x00000020; //WS_EX_TRANSPARENT return cp; } } //Override the OnPaintBackground event.

    - User Control's Load event fires when the Dispose method executes I have a user control which is used as a data entry form and it is instantiated on a window form. When the windows form is closed via clicking on the top right red-X close button, the user control's Dispose method executes. When it executes the load event fires. Here's the dispose method: Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean) If disposing Then If Not (components Is Nothing) Then 'WHEN THE NEXT LINE EXECUTES, the controls Load Event Fires. components.Dispose() End If End If MyBase.Dispose(disposing) End Sub This user control also created instances of some other user controls used as sub-forms. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but when the user clicks on the red-X close button of the parent form and things began to close, no cleanup code ran to kill the instances of these user controls. I will eventually have the proper cleanup code in place, but right now I want to understand why this load event fires when "components.Dispose()" is called.

    - DateTime Bound to TextBox Hi, I have bound a DateTime field in a DataTable to a TextBox field. Other String and Numeric fields are also bound to separate TextBoxes. If a new DataRow is created and a DateTime value is entered no problem. However, after the row is saved, I am unable to clear the date from the textbox. I do not have this problem when binding to a DataGrid. But a DataGrid is far from user friendly and just plain impractical in many situations. In its place I am loading the DataRow into a class and using unbound fields on the form. Bound controls seem great for strings. But thats about it. Does anyone have a better solution?

    - How to simply load a freeekin bitmap from a resource? I'm coming over from a background in VC++, and in general I've been pleased with the simplicity of the .NET environment. Not here. I've done google searches on this subject (loading bitmaps from a local resource) and always come up with complex solutions. This can't be right. Everyone packs bitmaps and other graphics and resources, integral to small executables, right? Setting up a local resource folder, loading in graphics, and setting their properties to 'Embedded Resource' would seem to incorporate them, as expected. Then what? It's tough to make 'FromResource' happy. There's got to be some simple solution to this. Tag: Message Queue Tag: 81191

The documentation clearly says that the timer must be used on a Windows
Forms form.
