    - Bizarre error--cannot create window handle I am getting a very bizarre error. Says something about system memory and then Cannot create window handle I have a form with constructors. 1 is passed nothing (new document) 2 is passed a class having a strong dataset (open document) the form has a datagrid and binds to the dataset(the form has a member variable that gets set to the class having the dataset) The grid binds to this class. if from my MDI form I open a document works great. if I click new, it does soemthing like dim f as new frmMyformName f.mdiparent=me f.show I set a breakpoint on new statement I trace into it and it gets by the constructors and the New() contructor makes a new empty class and binds that empty dataset to the grid. Then on f.show I trace into it it goes to form.load it goes so far in there and then bombs out to the f.show call in the MDI form. Says system out of memory error or something and then Cannot create window handle. I can't seem to discover the real problem Any ideas would be appreciated.. All else works fine. This did work right before but I discovered I needed another class and when i made thoses changes it no longer works correctly. I am not sure why. Thanks, shane Tag: Rich Text Box Tag: 63171

    - Datagrid scrolling problems I have a datagrid that when you hit the end key the cell changes to the last cell on the row but it doesn't scroll all the way over. It scrolls so you can see the second to last column but not the last. When you hit home it seems to work fine. Has anyone seen this behavior before? I have other grids and none of them show this to be happening. The only way I've gotten it to work right is by making the last four columns skinnier. It seams it will only scroll beyond a certain point and if you make the columns small enough it won't have to scroll beyond that point. I told it to scroll the maximum amount and it did take it to the end properly so I don't think that the maximum is set wrong. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Brandon Tag: Rich Text Box Tag: 63158

    - Screen Configuration Mechanism ? Does anyone have any useful links or ideas on allowing end-user screen configuration in .NET ? What I am after is a mechanism that allows developers to create rich client forms in some sppropriate "default" layout, but which then allows a privileged user to manipulate the screen layout at run-time (to affect all or selected users), ie. hiding particular panels, controls or grid columns, changing the display and tab order of panels, controls (within panels) and grid columns, etc. I'm not sure how the configuration UI will actually work at present but I'm open to suggestion. The mechanism should incur minimal additional effort on the developer. Tag: Rich Text Box Tag: 63144

    - Docking a panel to a splitter window I have a Winform that has a splitter control, set vertically in the middle of my page. I have a panel over on the right hand side that has edit controls on it. What I want to do is either attach the panel to the right hand side of the splitter or make it so that when I move the splitter to the right, the expanded left hand side window covers up the panel. What type of property would I need to set within my panel to get it to dock or be sizable with the splitter.? STom Tag: Rich Text Box Tag: 63142

    - Cannot show inherited forms in design mode It seems that every now and then, totally at random, Inherited forms stop working in design mode. Once they stop working, I can never get them to work again. When I try to show the form in design mode it says "An exception occurred while trying to create an instance of MyClassName. The exception was "Specified cast is not valid."". The form compiles just fine and everything works well except for this error message which leads me to belive that Visual Studio.NET is more to blame than me. ; p. I have tried to delete the resx file and have it recreated but that doesn't get me any closer to a solution. Is this a known bug? Are there any workarounds or do you have any ideas as to what I should do to resolve this annoyance? Thanks, Magnus Tag: Rich Text Box Tag: 63116

    - Tree control focus frustration Hi; I've built the guts of an explorer style application in C#. It has a tree view on the left showing a series of nodes that are relevant to my user, and as they click on each one, the right-hand side of my window shows the particular panel that's relevant to the selected node. I have one minor frustration, however. What I'd like to do is focus on the first control within the newly chosen panel. I know which control this is, and I can transfer focus to it by Select()'ing it, but once the tree control has finished its AfterSelect() event it steals focus back again. I've got a dual monitor setup and I can step through my tree control's AfterSelect() event handler. My new panel is selected, completely drawn by calling Update(), the first control on the panel is selected and focused on and the tree loses focus. Finally, when I step off the end of AfterSelect(), focus magically snaps back to the tree. I'd really like focus to stay on my newly selected panel rather than the tree. (1) Am I fighting a pointless battle here? Should focus stay with the tree? (2) If it's not extremely rude to move focus to the new panel and leave it there, how do I do it? Thanks, Andrew.

    - Control.FromHandle Hi , We are trying to obtain the active window of a given Windows Forms application . Although most of the win API functions like GetActiveWindow and GetForegroundWindow return a valid handle , calling the method Control.FromHandle using the handle returned from the WIN API evaluates to null. All we are interested in is in checking whether a specific winform application is running or not ( Ofcourse we could have used WSH but we need to do a bit more than what can be achieved with that) through a monitoring application Any sample illustrations or alternative approaches would be highly regarded Kind Regards Bijoy Tag: Rich Text Box Tag: 63103

    - Using DirectX 9 with .NET Don't know whether to post this to a DirectX newsgroup, but I'd post it here :) I have written a C# MDI app utilising GDI+ to do the drawing. Performance is terrible. (I have double buffering, but this causes other problems, especially at high zoom levels - on large documents). Is it possible to use DirectX9 to paint MDI child windows? I have seen some samples, and they seem to use a busy loop to continually redraw a window, calling Application.DoEvents after each iteration. Why do they need to do this? Would it work to have multiple MDI childs and update those in the loop? Why not just respond to paint events instead of replacing the message loop? Maybe I just don't get it.... :) Anyone have any ideas? Any advice? Anyone actually done this with any success? Thanks - Paul Wardle Tag: Rich Text Box Tag: 63101

    - How to prevent the drawing of multiple lines on form? Dear colleagues, I refer to your help with specific graphic problem. It is necessary to create a viewfinder in graphic application. It seems that the algorithm is simple: just draw lines in specific position in according to value of some controls, track bars, for example. Next read the track bars value to find the coordinates of lines cross. It works, but I can not get real cross because the background image is being deface by lines images. The drawing procedures looks like the next: ' Picture box picbView and two track bars (trckHoriz, trckVer) are created on form. #Region "Form level variables" Dim hwnd As New IntPtr ' handler of picturebox's window Dim g As Graphics ' graphic object for drawing lines #End Region 'Form level variables Sub InitiateFormData() ' call this procedure at Sub New, located at Windows Form Designer generated code ' maximums of appropriate trackbars are equal to picture box size trckHoriz.Maximum = picbView.Width trckVert.Maximum = picbView.Height hwnd = picbView.Handle ' assigned handler g = Graphics.FromHwnd(hwnd) ' created graphic object ' get path to image and load it as picture box's background Dim strImageFile As String = Application.ExecutablePath.Substring(0, _ Application.ExecutablePath.LastIndexOf ("\") + 1) & "Viewfinder.jpg" picbView.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile (strImageFile) End Sub Sub DrawViewfinder() ' draw viewfinder's lines ' TODO - how to prevent the drawing of multiple lines ????

    - Fade from one Panel to the other I am building an application that will fade one panel to another panel. Both panels will have picture boxes in them (thumbnails). This is what I have tried: private void fade(System.Windows.Forms.Panel fP){ for (int i = 255; i >= 0;i--){ System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10); fP.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(i, 255,255,255); System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents(); } } There is another Panel under the one being passed in to the function. It has two problems. One it flickers like crazy, and two (now this I don't get at all) it does not become transparent at all. It just fades the form color. (At the time of testing the top panel had no images in it, but the bottom one did) Am I doing something wrong? (Well of course you are idiot) But what? I don't know much about GDI, but is it possible to take a image of my control that is fading out and replace the control with that image and fade the image out? Would that be any better. (Thinking out loud). If you could, please point me in the right direction. If you had sample code to do this I would erect a large alter in your name and sacrifice many chipmunks in for you. (OK, for those of you with no sense of humor, I'm joking). keywords: dotnet c# fade panel control Tag: Rich Text Box Tag: 63070

    - Panel Fill with Nested Controls Greetings Everyone. I have been trying to fill a panel control with linear gradient. (Isn't everyone?) This control contains a number of label controls. I placed code in the panel's paint event handler. While this does fill my panel as expected it also performs the fill on each of the label controls resulting in a rather tacky display of gradient excess. I have confirmed that, to no surprise, the paint routine is being called once for the panel and again for each constituent control. It also appears as though the panel itself is the sender of all the events and each of the labels' dimensions are being sent in the ClipRectangle property. I am not sure I understand the reasoning behind this. Can someone explain that? More importantly, would someone mind sharing their clever solution to getting only the panel to paint? (I've considered comparing label locations to ClipRectangle X and Y but that seems clumsy.) TIA - Eric Tag: Rich Text Box Tag: 63027

    - Need Expert Opinion on design issue Greetings all, Ok, I've developed a .NET application that integrates into the Windows shell as a namespace extension (think of Scheduled Tasks and you'll get the general look of my app). Since I've written it in C# using the 1.1 framework, I decided to support the XP look by calling Application.EnableVisual Styles(), however here lies the problem: It appears that calling EnableVisualStyles() works as long as its' called from an executable. Unfortunately, in my case, I have no starting executable. Technically the executable is Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) which calls into my DLL through various interfaces. To make a long story short, calling EnableVisualStyles within my DLL eventually leads to a crash of the Windows exlplorer interface, so I'm left with one option to get the XP style interface, and this is where I need expert opinions: If I include a manifest named explorer.exe.manifest and install it into the windows directory, everthing works great. My windows inherit the XP interface, however so does other programs that are tied to Windows explorer, such as scheduled tasks. So my question is, should I install a manfiest that potentially alters other programs interface just to get my app to have the XP style interface, or should I just leave it alone? The reason I ask this is that this is going to be a commercial application, and I want it to look professional (i.e. when run on XP, one would expect it to have an XP interface), but am I crossing the line by installing a file that could have affects on other apps that are not mine?

    - Running DTS packages I have some code that I stole from MSKB article 321525 that I'm using in a windows forms app (framework 1.1, VS 2003) that I'm having some problems with. Basically, if I try using it on a machine that only has the framework installed, then it fails intermittently. If I use the code on a machine that has had SQL installed onto it, then it works perfectly. Running a file monitor over the machine that works shows that it is actually using the dts files (e.g. dtspump.dll) installed under c:\program files\microsoft sql server instead of just using framework files. I'm thinking that next week I need to contact MS to say "What's wrong with 321525?" but, in the meantime.... Could someone confirm that I really shouldn't need the locally installed dts files and Has anyone else had the same kind of problem with 321525?

    - Find and Replace window Hi, I need to develop a form window similar to the Find and=20 Replace window of Visual Studio, i.e., I have a main form=20 and I will have to open a new window that will be on top=20 of my application's main window, but not on top of all=20 opened applications (TopMost =3D false). I can still access=20 the information of the main window (a modeless window) =20 but I cannot move the new window. Can someone help me on this? Thanks, Ma=EDra Tag: Rich Text Box Tag: 63006

I have run into a problem on some stations, it keeps
returning the following error (upon exit):

------------------------------------------------------

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set
to an instance of an object.

hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

------------------------------------------------------

I understand what the exception means, I just do not see
why it is being generated. Any ideas?

Are those stations running the same version of .net framework?
If the code runs on some stations but not others, I suspect some dll mus=

lacking or is a different version.
