    - Fixed window position Does anybody know what's the best way to lock the window's position in .NET besides using Windows API? Basically, it will prevent the user from moving the windows form. -------------------------------- From: Rommel Ladera ----------------------- Posted by a user from .NET 247 (http://www.dotnet247.com/) <Id>GBWC9OW3eUy1j6phgTAt7A==</Id> Tag: Name of default web browser?

    - Is this a good use of MDI I'm developing a Windows Forms app that requires a fixed set of graphical nav buttons along the top of the app window, then a number of forms (or panels? or...?) that appear below, one at a time, based on the selection the user makes from the nav bar. I've seen in other postings refer to this a "MS Money navigation." I've looked at Money, and that seems about right. I've actually got everything up and running using an MDI parent to contain the nav stuff, and then some child forms set to fill the rest of the parent. The child forms are set to have no border, no max or min buttons, etc.--they basically look like panels. This works except for one major problem: I'm using show and hide methods to control the appearance of each form, but when I execute the methods, the title bar and border of the child forms briefly appear then disappear--it's a flicker, very distracting and annoying. I've searched for a solution, but haven't found one. So, I'm now wondering if this is the best way to handle this app. Perhaps MDI is not suited for this? If not, what would be a better solution? It seems that panels would be right, except difficult to put together at design time... Any suggestions? I'm on Visual Basic .Net 2003, 1.1 of the CLR, with the most recent updates. Many thanks, Art Tag: Name of default web browser? Tag: 76915

    - strange problem with inerited user controls I have a strange problem with inherited controls: I have created two user controls called UserLoginA & UserLoginB. One of the properties of these controls is of type UserGroup ( a class I defined in another assembly). Then I show that UserLoginA & UserLoginB have a lot of common code, so I decided to inherit UserLoginB from UserLoginA. So I Created a new user control UserControlC that inherits from UserLoginA, added the code needed to make it work like UserLoginB, tested it, and everything worked just fine. Then I removed the file that defined UserLoginB from the project, and renamed UserLoginC to UserLoginB (so I will not have to change all the code using UserLoginB). Then the strange stuff started: Now when I try to drag UserControlB (that used to be UserControlC) on a from I get this error: Then I create an inherited user control called UserLogin2 that inherits from UserLogin. When I add these controls to the toolbox and try to drap UserLogin2 to the form I get an error: An exception occured while trying to create an instance of UserLoginB. The exception was "The type serialized in the .resources file was not the same type that the .resources file said it contained. Expected "UserGroup" but read ""UserGroup".". Does anybody have any Idea why this happens? Thanks, Nadav. Tag: Name of default web browser? Tag: 76909

    - SupraText Open Source .Net Editor ... here it is (!) Ok, here's what I did all day ( besides baking an Eggplant Parmesan ). The SupraText Editor version 0.0001a : http://home.earthlink.net/~jabailo/Windopes%20SupraText/ Take down the binary and the four sample files here: http://home.earthlink.net/~jabailo/Windopes%20SupraText/bin/Release/ And run it in its own folder. 0. Select text in the middle window. 1. Drag a named anchor from the left hand window 2. Click on a different file in the right hand window. I'm also building a mono version, but right now I'm more adept at VS.net so I wanted to build the 0.1 version in VS.net and then re-engineer it in monodevelop. The idea of a SupraText editor is to build highly congruent, linked, text oriented web sites. The text and the hyperlink between the HTML pages becomes the main structural component. Well, it's not much to look at, but it's already helping me design my new website ;) Comments: jabailo@THIRDPLANETFROMSUN_link.net ( replace CAPS of course ) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

If I use both, then the MouseDown event fires, when I change selection the SelectedIndexChanged does not fire ! I use the MouseDown for a DragDrop event.

    - Objidl.h problem Every time I add a particular form to my VS 2003 C++ project, the project can no longer compile. The error message indicates an ambiguity because IDataObj is defined both in System::Windows::Forms and also in objdl.h. I have no idea why objidl.h is being included in my project, but it must have something to do with the objects in my form other than controls. There are no COM objects involved. The problem line in objidl.h is line 7408: typedef /* [unique] */ IDataObject *LPDATAOBJECT; Can anyone help me get past this compiler error? And maybe explain how objidl.h gets included in my project? Thanks for any help. Tag: Name of default web browser? Tag: 76893

    - Validation in MDI children Hello In my MDI Application, I have an MDI Parent Form which contains two Child Forms, childA and childB. childA has a TextBox which has an Validating event Handler When the Users enters some text into this TextBox which does not pass the validating event, the Event Handler sets the Cancel Property of the CancelEventArgs argument to TRUE. The Cursor cannot leave the Texbox, which is excty what I want... but: When the user clicks on another MDI Child (e.g. childB), childB comes to front. The user can click on any Textbox on childB, he will not get the cursor into the Textbox, because the Cursor is held back in childA. The user thinks that the Application is not responding. It would be a lot better if I could prevent the User from activating childB as long as childA has Validation Errors. How can I do this? Regards Matthias Tag: Name of default web browser? Tag: 76888

    - Custom display format for databound combo box I would like to be able to customize how data is displayed in my databound combo box. The user will be selecting one of these values which will correspond to a row in the database. However, I do not want it to display in the selection items simple a single value from each row. I would like for it to display a combination of two column values. For instance, suppose I have this data: ID, value1, value2 -------------------- 1, data-A1, data-A2 2, data-B1, data-B2 And I want the combo box to display the items like this: "data-A1 and data-A2" with value of 1 "data-B1 and data-B2" with value of 2 I could do this by selecting composite data in my original SELECT statement, with: value1 + ' and ' + value2 as DisplayValue. However, this won't stay current as I update the rows in the local cache. Is there a way to have the databound combo box's composite display automatically update as the rows are being modified?

I want to be able to populate my calendar control with a holiday schedule like OutLook 2003 does. For an example do the following: Add another country's/region's holidays To add holidays to the Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 calendar, you must first remove any holidays that might remain in your Calendar from an earlier version of Outlook for the country/region whose holidays you want to add. After you have deleted those holidays, follow these steps: 1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Calendar Options. 2. Click Add Holidays, and then select the locations whose holidays you want copied to your Calendar. Is there an API I can access from the development environment to allow me to bring up the list of countries? Is there an API to let me get a list of holidays for a specific country or list of countryies if I set the country? Thanks, Charles Tag: Name of default web browser? Tag: 76873

    - Complex question about using collections from derived Controls in V. Studio Designer Hi, I'm writng a control derived from UserControl (let's call this control MyControl) that itself is meant to be derived further times. MyControl hosts a public collection of specialized non-GUI objects. This collection is therefore accesible from any controls derived from MyControl. Derived controls have to be able to add, change and remove objects from the collection. In MyControl I set the DesignerVisibility to Content so that the code-generation engine properly generates the code for the collection and when I initialize MyControl, I add some objects to the collection. Now, here's where the problem starts. The code generation for controls derived from MyControl will generate code to create and add all objects in the collection, even if some of these were added in MyControl and there's already code (in MyControl) to create and add them. The situation is similar to that of the ControlCollection in Controls, but here somehow, the code-generator doesn't add controls present in the super-calss again. I could not find any references or documentation of how to deal with this, so I'm asking for some help. Has anybody had some experience with this? Sebastian PS: I'll post some code if anybody needs an alternative explanation. Thanks Tag: Name of default web browser? Tag: 76871

    - RichTextBox requires tons of memory for text VS.NET 2K3 and .NET 1.1 I'm having a problem with RichTextBox allocating huge amounts of memory for text. I have recreated the problem in the attached sample which, when the button is pressed, will create a ~33MB file and load it into the RichTextBox. If you watch the memory in Task Manager, before the button it consumes ~15MB max, but after it's finished, the memory is upwards of 140MB. Immediately invoking the GC doesn't seem to help. I've tried different things to no avail. Strangely enough, if I minimize the window, or maximize and restore, it will go down to something I could at least understand. I thought it might be related to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=826981, which fix was included in the recently released SP1. I retested the issue using the service pack, but it's still there.

    - Form Real FullScren Question Hi all, I have a following inquiry. Here in news group I found the sample code of how to put a window form in FullScreen (in the style VS 2003/2005 does) protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) { base.OnLoad (e); Point clientTL = this.PointToScreen(new Point(ClientRectangle.X, ClientRectangle.Y)); Point clientBR = this.PointToScreen(new Point(ClientRectangle.X + ClientRectangle.Width, ClientRectangle.Y + ClientRectangle.Height)); Point frameTL = this.Location; Point frameBR = new Point(this.Location.X + this.Width, this.Location.Y + this.Height); int topXDelta = clientTL.X - frameTL.X; int topYDelta = clientTL.Y - frameTL.Y; int bottomXDelta = frameBR.X - clientBR.X; int bottomYDelta = frameBR.Y - clientBR.Y; Rectangle newFrameBounds = Screen.GetBounds(this); newFrameBounds.Inflate(topXDelta + bottomXDelta, topYDelta + bottomYDelta); newFrameBounds.Location = new Point(-topXDelta, -topYDelta); this.MaximumSize = newFrameBounds.Size; this.MaximizedBounds= newFrameBounds; } But if I want that "fullscreen" behaviour to be complete how to round that when leave "fullscreen" mode, click on maximized button of form that from will be not in "real" maximized state - even more form will again in "fullscreen" mode.

    - Prevent Designer Generated Code I've created a button class (MyButton) that derives from System.Windows.Forms.Button. In the constructor, I set the ForeColor and BackColor properties of the button with a static color like this: this.ForeColor = StaticForeColor this.BackColor = StaticBackColor It's really important that the Designer Generated Code doesn't set the ForeColor and BackColor at design time. Is there a way to prevent the Designer Generated Code from doing this? Let me explain why. My idea behind creating a class this way, is so I can set the colors of the button for the whole class dynamically in my project when the project is loaded like this: MyButton.StaticForeColor = Color.Blue; The problem is, the Designer Generated Code automatically puts in lines like this: this.MyButton1 = new MyNameSpace.MyButton(); // // MyButton1 // ... this.btnBuildingView.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black; this.btnBuildingView.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((System.Byte)(0)), ((System.Byte)(102)), ((System.Byte)(255))); And even though the button class (MyButton) the StaticForeColor is not initialized, it's just: public static Color StaticForeColor; The Designer Still generates code for the ForeColor and BackColor in the // // MyButton1 // section because I set those values in the constructor. So, during runtime, no matter what I change the StaticForeColor to, the button will have it's ForeColor set to the StaticForeColor but immediately afterwards, it will be reset to: this.btnBuildingView.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((System.Byte)(0)), ((System.Byte)(102)), ((System.Byte)(255))); or something like it.

    - How can I find the "natural" height of a property grid I want to size a panel to contain a label followed by a PropertyGrid such that the panel is the sum of the heights of the two properties (so that the PropertyGrid doesn't have to scroll, but also doesn't have any unused space after it). How can I find out what the "natural" height of the PropertyGrid would have to be set to to achieve that? (The scrollbar must somehow know when to appear). And also, as the user opens nested complex properties, how would I track the change to the height? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    - Symbol does not display in RichTextBox but does in Word This is an obscure question, but I'm hoping someone may have experienced something like it. My program uses RichTextBox controls for all the text. Currently text in the Kannada language is being entered into it using the font KN-TTUma (ttf). One symbol in particular, the "Soft Hyphen", U+00AD, Keystroke Alt+0173, shows up fine in Microsoft Word, but it does not display at all in the rich text boxes. It also does not display in WordPad, so it's not just a Windows Forms problem, it seems to be rich text in general. Here is the rtf for the symbol in question. If I save this as symbol.rtf it does not display in WordPad, but it looks fine in Word. {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fdecor\fprq2\fcharset0 KN-TTUma;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Microsoft Sans Serif;}} \viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs28\'ad\f1\fs17\par } Has anyone ever run into a problem like this where a font character does not display?

When I click in the button, it shows a message box whit theValueMenber and DisplayMenber. Them I set again the selectindex to -1.

    - COM Add-in toolbar click events only fire once if window is initialized This is a very bizare problem. So, I have a C# COM Add-in for Excel which creates a toolbar, then pops-up meaningful windows when you click the toolbar buttons. Everything works fine the first time. After that, my event handlers do not get called when I click the toolbar handlers. I've isolated the problem down to initializing a dialog window (never actually showing the window). Explicitely, the VisualStudio IDE is initializing the first component, failing on: this.instructionLabel.Location = ((System.Drawing.Point) (resources.GetObject("instructionLabel.Location"))); in InitializeComponent(). If I comment out the rest of the initialization code from this line to "this.ResumeLayout(false);", the event will fire every time. Note that there are plenty of lines before this with plenty of equally 'severe' calls: System.Resources.ResourceManager resources = new System.Resources.ResourceManager(typeof(AuthenticationPopup)); this.instructionLabel = new System.Windows.Forms.Label(); this.userIdLabel = new System.Windows.Forms.Label(); ... this.SuspendLayout(); ... this.instructionLabel.Anchor = ((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles) (resources.GetObject("instructionLabel.Anchor"))); ... Unfortunately, this isn't a clear relationship, as I can't duplicate it in a simple sample app where I create the add-in, toolbar, form (localized), and one simple label. Other things happening: - If I comment out all of the form stuff, there is also a networking class that basically does XML-RPC http client calls that causes the same problem. Commenting out the 2 together allows for multiple firings. - I was previously developing this app as a simple COM interop application launching it from some Excel VB code.

    - Simple use of ToolTip in VB not working OK, my understanding of the simple use of the tooltip is to do the following: Drag the ToolTip from the toolbox on to your form. Once this is done all the controls have a new property added to them called "ToolTip on ToolTip1" (default name). For each control you can go and enter the specific text for that particular control. Then when the mouse is hovered over your controls any ToolTips you've defined for the controls should be displayed. I COULD NOT GET THIS TO WORK until I did the additional step: On my first control I added an event handler for mouse over as follows: Private Sub lblAddOne_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _ System.EventArgs) Handles lblAddOne.MouseHover ToolTip1.SetToolTip(sender, "Move Selected Items From List 1 to List 2") End Sub Once I added this code the ToolTip on the first control worked fine. I then just configured the properties of the second control's ToolTip and IT worked fine without any extra code! What am I missing here? TIA. JB Tag: Name of default web browser? Tag: 76794

    - disposing of SystemBrushes Hi If i create a Brush object I believe it is good practice to explicitly dispose it or use it within a using block. Is it correct to assume that this does not apply to brushes from the SystemBrushes collection? Adam Tag: Name of default web browser? Tag: 76793

    - Running with XP-Style In MSDN the topic "Add the Manifest to the Executable File" under "Using Windows XP Visual Styles With Controls on Windows Forms" explains how to add the manifest resource to the executable after it's been built. So after a subsequent rebuild the proccess (of adding the resource) must be repeated. Is there a way the VS.NET 2003 IDE can do this automatically? Thanks, Opher. Tag: Name of default web browser?

    - TextBox carret not placed correctly Hi, When a user clicks a TextBox on a modal form, the caret immediately moves to the clicked location within the existing text. On a non-modal form, the user's TextBox click sets the focus appropriately, but fails to set the caret. How do I correct this behavior? When the user clicks in the midst of a word within a TextBox, the caret should be placed precisely between the two characters at the click-point. Any ideas? Thanks...

    - AutoScroll property Hi, I have a very long Form whose AutoScroll property is set to true. The user can easily scroll vertically through the form. The problem is that as the user drags the scroll marker up and down, the form doesn't actually scroll. Instead, the user must release the mouse button before the form redraws. Is there any way to make scrollable forms behave like every other Windows application on the market (Word, VS.NET, etc.) in that the view would actually scroll in real-time as the user drags the scroller knob?

    - AutoScale and MDI child maximized forms Hi, We have developed a MDI application using small fonts, when running the application in a Large fonts setup it works ok AS LONG we make sure that the mdi child forms open in normal mode (not maximized), if they open maximized the control on the right and bottom of the form are lost (because the controls are wrongly resized). I do want the controls to resize... what i don't want is it to fail while it does it. Also: we worked around it so any time you open a form it opens normalized instead of maximized (and that works fine, but it is a workaround). Is this a bug? José Tag: Name of default web browser?
