    - MDI Mouse Move & KeyPress Events Hi guys, This might be an already answered question, but I was wondering if there is a way to catch the Mouse Move and the KeyPress events if a have a MDI window because it doesn't fire these events (for instance, if I don't have any child form... just the main container). On the other hand, if there is a way to know if an application gets out of an idle state. I know how to control the Application.Idle method and attach it with a handler to method that should be triggered before having an idle state, but I don't see how to manage it if the application is receiving interaction from the user again and I want to reset a timer (for example). Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Gustavo Ortega Software Engineer University of CR Tag: Problem debugging ActiveX component in Windows Form Tag: 72627

    - ListView taking a long time to select. I have a ListView that I am showing in 'Detail' mode. The list contains about 740 items and I have a button that tries to go through all items in the list and select them and change the image icon. This seems to take over a minute or two just to do something like foreach(ListViewItem item in listView.Items item.Selected = true item.ImageIndex = 1 Does anyone have any suggestions on how to speed this up? I would hate to guess how long it would take if I had 7000 items in the list. What is taking so long? I have tried to suspend the layout as is done during the Windows initialization but this did not seem to have any effect Thank you for your suggestions Kevin Tag: Problem debugging ActiveX component in Windows Form Tag: 72625

    - How to host a .NET MDI Child Window inside a VB6 MDI Application Hi folks, a bit of a tricky problem to solve for you. I have a scenario where I have a legacy VB6 MDI application that I want to act as a host for a MDI child form that resides in a .NET assembly. I can do the simple stuff such as exposing the .NET Form as a COM object and registering the assembly for COM Interop, the issue is how can I force the .NET Form to become a MDI child of the parent VB6 MDI Parent Window. Any suggestions would be most welcome Tag: Problem debugging ActiveX component in Windows Form Tag: 72623

    - Focus question I have a form with many controls and I want the focus to stay on a particular textbox no matter what the user does. I don't want to have to code an event for absolutely everything the user can do. I tried the leave event, but the problem with that is if the next event puts text in the textbox then the cursor is at the beginning of the text not the end. I know ways to accomplish this, however I just trying to see if there is a better way. Maybe there is an event that is executed after everything else.

    - Image within Splitter - Bubbling Click Event I've got a WinForms question, that hopefully isn't too twisty! I'm working with a [Splitter] object, and what I'm wanting to do is maintina good control over it's visual appearance. I'm settings it's BackgroundImage, but what I also want to do is insert an Image within it (which is a visual representation of something to grab - like the grabber image at the bottom-right of a form). For scaling and positional reasons I can't have the grabber icon as part of the actual BG image. Here's the problem: I can insert the image into the [Splitter], and position it just fine. But when the user clicks on it, the [Splitter] won't move, because it is the image recieving the click action, not the containing [Splitter]. Is there some way I can bubble the click event up to the containing [Splitter], so that it thinks it has been clicked, rather that it's child Image control? Thanks everyone. === Phil (Auckland | Aotearoa) Tag: Problem debugging ActiveX component in Windows Form Tag: 72601

    - OnResize Before Constructor Makes Babies Cry I noticed that my application was throwing an exception in OnResize because an overridden version of OnResize in a class derived from Panel is called before the instance's constructor completes. In fact, OnResize is called before the constructor even starts (!). Sure enough, the MSDN documentation for .NET 1.1 says that this can happen. This means that every class that overrides OnResize has to manually make sure that the instance information used in OnResize is initialized before OnResize uses it. This is quite ridiculous and seems like a bug in the Framework -- imagine if every instance method had to check if its constructor had completed. Why does OnResize behave this way? Are there any other methods that behave like this? Is this going to be fixed? Andrew Tag: Problem debugging ActiveX component in Windows Form Tag: 72599

    - EventsTab issue with PropertyGrid at runtime I program a simple forms editor like the VS.NET one and got the most of the stuff working. One problem is still unsolved and I need a bit help. The components I want to edit request the EventsTab for the PropertyGrid: [PropertyTab(typeof(System.Windows.Forms.Design.EventsTab), PropertyTabScope.Component)] public class MyControl : UserControl { /// } In the main form I add the type and assign the Site of the current component: this.propertyGrid.PropertyTabs.AddTabType(typeof(System.Windows.Forms.Design.EventsTab)); this.propertyGrid.Site = component.Site; I have also implemented IEventBindingService to handle the code generation: serviceContainer.AddService(typeof(IEventBindingService), new EventBindingService(this)); If I start my form the PropertyGrid shows the EventsTab with the lightning bolt and the BindingService works as expected. If I add another control with the same PropertyTab Attribute on it, the EventsTab disappear and whatever I do it will never come back. The type of control doesn't matter, the first shows the tab and the second removes it. Alongside with the EventsTab appears the standard properties Tab, to let the user switch back to properties view. This automagically added Tab does not disappear and become selected and the standard properties are shown, after the EventsTab button disappers - very strange behavior. Does anybody has a clue what happens here? Do I miss any other interfaces I should implement especially for events handling in my micro-IDE? What exactly do the Site property of the PropertyGrid? I've tried some other ISite implementations, but nothing worked. Do I need to change the property during runtime?

    - Capturing another window I've got an application (WinForms) with an MDI parent form and several MDI child forms, which all run maximized in the parent. This program needs to integrate in with another program that we have no control over. What I'd like to be able to do is capture another window (one from this other app) and have it appear as an MDI child window in the C# application I've written. First, is this even possible? Maybe not exactly this, but something that would at least achieve a similar appearance? Second, does anyone know how I can go about doing this? Thanks a lot.

    - string length limit in args sent by ISynchronizeInvoke? I'm raising an event in a component, using ISynchronizeInvoke.Invoke, and my event args object contains a string as one of its members. If the string is longer than 63 bytes, the Invoke call pulls an unhandled exception in System.Windows.Forms.dll, to the effect that the string length must be less than 64. If I trim the string to 31 characters (62 bytes) everything's fine and the event goes as intended. But if the string length is 32 or greater, the unhandled exception gets thrown. Is there some kind of limit in the marshaling that's going on with Invoke? Or what? I've looked on groups.google.com but haven't yet stumbled on search terms that produce any discussion of this. Any ideas? Thanks, Tom Dacon Dacon Software Consulting Tag: Problem debugging ActiveX component in Windows Form Tag: 72579

    - Memory in windows forms Hi, Consider the following situation I have the following routine running repeatedly (curControl is a UserControl with say 1000 textboxes and a big array of strings): Public Sub AddControl(ByVal ctlName As String) If Not IsNothing(curControl) Then Me.Controls.Remove(curControl) End If Dim assemb As [Assembly] = [Assembly].Load("MyControlAssembly") curControl = CType(assemb.CreateInstance(ctlName), UserControl) curControl.Location = New Point(150, 20) Me.Controls.Add(curControl) End Sub Now, running this Sub over and over, the memory stays more or less the same. That is to say, it goes up a litte bit - maybe 4-20K, but nothing huge. Now, consider this version: Public Sub AddControl(ByVal ctlName As String) If Not IsNothing(curControl) Then curControl.Dispose() End If Dim assemb As [Assembly] = [Assembly].Load("MyControlAssembly") curControl = CType(assemb.CreateInstance(ctlName), UserControl) curControl.Location = New Point(150, 20) End Sub Now, in this version, the control is not being added to the form - it is just created. In this case, the memory goes up by about .5 MB every time this code runs. Now, the questions is, why is it that in the first scenario, the control is cleaned up properly - but in the second scenario (where Dispose is actually being closed), it is not. The memory keeps climbing up and up. Thanks Tag: Problem debugging ActiveX component in Windows Form Tag: 72578

    - System.NullReferenceException in unknown module during startup Hello, I am currently developing some control library for windows forms application in c#. But for some of the test application it throws up error box saying "System.NullReferenceException" in the unknown module as occured. Upon debugging I found that the error is thrown from the garbage collector thread. I could figure out the name of the dll and the method name which is throwing the exception. It occurs in mscorwks.dll!CallFinalizer() method. I do not have clue how this exception is getting generated. When the exception occurs the various constructors of the controls and their embeded constructor is getting called. It occurs before main form load event. The other observation is also that the exception started while we introduced resx file for the various resources in the control library. Any pointer?

    - DataSource property to control design time I want to add a DataSource property to my control that, at design time, will allow the designer to drop down a list of valid datasource components just like the DataGrid control.

    - Visual inheritance bug? Hello gurus! In my C# project I have a localized form that I use as the prototype for two others. The prototype form has a ListBox control data bound to an ArrayList containing data elements of a custom class type. At design time its Items collection is empty and is populated by data binding only when the application is executed and the underlying ArrayList collection is created. The inherited forms' ListBox controls seem to somehow mysteriously inherit not only the properties of the prototype form's ListBox control, but also its Items collection. It sounds crazy, but I get errors at compile time which are caused by the code Windows Forms Designer automatically inserts into the InitializeComponent() method. This is what it looks like: this.lstItems.Items.AddRange(new object[] { ((object)(resources.GetObject("lstItems.Items"))), ((object)(resources.GetObject("lstItems.Items1"))), ((object)(resources.GetObject("lstItems.Items2"))), ((object)(resources.GetObject("lstItems.Items3")))}); This line is inserted automatically every time I save the inherited form. It seems that VS caches the number of elements in the Items collection the last time the application is run in debug mode and assumes the elements exist in the resource file, which they don't. Any ideas how to get rid of this annoying behaviour? P.S. If you reply directly, please remove the anti-spamming proclamation from my e-mail address.

    - Memory issues Hi, I'm having several memory leaks in my Windows Form (C#). Testing, I found a curious thing: Put a ListView control in a Windows Form, run the project and start the TaskManager. Each time you focus the form or pass the mouse in/out the ListView, the memory used by the application increases. And, besides that, the start memory used is about 12MB. Isn't that a little big? Word uses about 8MB. Is this a Garbage Collector problem, or later this resources will be collected? Or, this is a internal problem of the ListView control? Thanks. Bruno Rodrigues.

    - Databinding - Best Practice (object-oriented) Hi, I would like to know your opinions about the best way of implementing databinding in an application. Let's take a simple example: we have a table called 'Employee' and we would like to display its content in a DataGrid. 1st solution: -Export all the Employee records from the database into a datatable. -Bind the datatable to a datagrid. -The user can insert/delete/edit records of the datatable through the datagrid and we can easily save the data back to the database. 2nd solution (object oriented). Here I consider than an employee is an object. -Create a class called 'Employee'. -Export all the Employee records from the database into a datatable. -Create an instance of the Employee class for each record of the datatable. -Store all the instances in a collection (eg. ArrayList). -Bind the collection to a datagrid The 1st solution works very well and is easy to implement but is not object-oriented. The 2nd one seems to be the logical way of doing it (creation of a 'Employee' class etc) but involves developing much more code. Besides it is not possible to add new employee through the DataGrid unless my collection implements the IBindingList interface which is not straightforward to do and also involves developing even more code. I would tend to use the 1st solution as it's easy to implement and it works fine but I can't help but think that it's not the right way of doing it. For example if every time an employee is created or modified in the DataGrid we want to do some checks (for example that the FirstName and the LastName are different) in the 2nd solution I would put this business logic in the 'Employee' class and I would be sure that whoever uses my 'Employee' class will use the correct business logic. If I use the 1st solution, I would have to use something like the ColumnChanged event of the datatable to check what the user has entered and therefore this business logic will be mixed with the code of the client application which will make the code more difficult to maintain. My example is quite simple but you get the idea. What's the best way of doing the above in your opinions? Thanks, Anthony. Tag: Problem debugging ActiveX component in Windows Form Tag: 72516

    - SEHException when closing a form I'm trying to enable Windows XP themes in my application. First I tried adding a call to Application.EnableVisualStyles(), but that didn't appear to actually do anything (aka I still wasn't getting styles). Yes, I have all my buttons and what not using FlatStyle = FlatStyle.System. I added a manifest file to the application directory, and this enabled the visual styles I was looking for. However, now when I call Close() on any form, I get an SEHException whos message is "External component has thrown an exception". The exception occurs in System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.DispatchMessageW(MSG& msg). The internal error code of the SEHException is -2147467259. It appears to be related to the Application.EnableVisualStyles() call. If I keep the manifest file but remove the call, then I get visual styles and no exception. If I remove the manifest file but keep the call, I don't have visual styles and I get the exception. Any ideas? Thanks. Ryan Gregg Tag: Problem debugging ActiveX component in Windows Form Tag: 72515

Is there a already written control out there that I can purchase? Tag: Problem debugging ActiveX component in Windows Form Tag: 72486

    - Binding XML data to a combobox and get the selected value Hi! I have problems with databinding of xml files to comboboxes and then getting the selected value of a selected item. For example, I have the following xmlfile: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <Foo xmlns="http://tempuri.org/test.xsd"> <Person xmlns="http://tempuri.org/test.xsd"> <number>114</number> <firstname>John</firstname> <lastname>Doe</lastname> </Mitarbeiter> </Foo> 1. Can anybody help me (with a snipplet of code) to fill a combobox (Windows form) with both names (first AND last name as displayed members) and number as a valuemember? 2. When an item of this cbx has been selected a function is called to show the selected VALUE (In this case number 114)? Can anybody show me this line of code to get the selected value? Hope anyone can help me with one of these problems because I have tried so much and nothing worked correctly...

    - Undefined Error Hello Developpers I faced with an undefined error. I developped a Windows Forms Application. When I opened my project's Solution, all the documents, which were created before, listed properly at the Solution Explorer. But when I wanted to see my form by clicking on to Design View, the following error message displayed instead of the form itself ----> An error occurred while loading the document. Fix the error, and then try loading the document again. The error message follows Belirtilmemis hata (<-This message is in Turkish. It says Undefined Error I tried to opend my Windows forms, but I could not. I also checked my previously developed and design projects' forms. They could not be openned also Do you have any Idea Thank you very much from now. Tag: Problem debugging ActiveX component in Windows Form Tag: 72459

I've added an ActiveX component to a Windows Form and this seems to be
working fine.
However, I now need to debug the ActiveX component, but can't step into the
component - I can step in the Windows Form code, but can't go into any of
the code referenced by the ActiveX component, even though this has all been
built with a debug solution configuration.

Does anyone know how I can get debugging to work in the ActiveX component ?

Thanks for any help,
Steve

To my info,
You cannot debug the ActiveX control inside the .NET debugger.
This is because of the following.
1. COM/DCOM/ActiveX debug information in in essense very different than .NET
version. The .NET debugger simply won't understand.
2. The activex componenet you are using is access through a series of
wappers and Type Libraries and IDL interfaces.

Perhaps you can start the activex component in debug mode and wait until a
process to hook. the start the .NET app in debug mode and step through.
See if that will work.

Gevik.
