 - Winform becomes unresponsive Hi all, basically i have a WMI scanner which i install as a windows service. using .NET remoting the service registers an object which records the status of the scanner (ie how many assets its' scanned so far etc..) I then have a windows application which reads the status object to display the progress of the scanner (ie which asset is it scanning and an overall % complete) This all works fine when i scan up to 50 assets but i am in the process of load testing the scanner and am increasing the number of scans to 100, 150 etc.. the scans do work but the windows application basically locks up for the majority of the scan. I have a thread on the scanner service which starts up the scan and sleeps inbetween scans for x minutes. the scanner itself uses a threadpool to scan all the assets on the network and a thread to upload results to a webservice. I am using a timer on the windows application to check the status obejct every second and then display the results on the form, this seems to be the bit that keeps locking up (only when lots of assets are being scanned tho) how can i keep my windows application responsive, no matter how many assets i am trying to scan?

 - DataGrid - Background colours? I want to enumerate the cells in my datagrid and specify different background colours for each cell depending on its contents. Is this possible? There are no properties for DataGrid.Item(Index, Index)... Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 79121

 - DataGridBoolColumn with multiple values (override SetColumnAtRow) I have a table that I have to show in a DataGrid. One of the columns in the table is column that shows some states. When reading it, the states will be one of -2, -1, 1 or 2. After the user modifies the column, it will have to save -2 for false and 2 for true. The problem is that I have to show these values as a check box, i.e. for each value < 0 to show an unchecked checkbox and for values > 0 to show a checked checkbox. I tried to make my own class derived from DataGridBoolColumn and to override the methods SetColumnValueAtRow and GetColumnValueAt Row. Here is the code: protected override object GetColumnValueAtRow(CurrencyManager lm, int row) { DataView view = (DataView)lm.List; if(Convert.ToInt32(view[row].Row[this.MappingName]) > 0) { return true; } else { return false; } } protected override void SetColumnValueAtRow(CurrencyManager source, int rowNum, object value) { DataView view = (DataView)source.List; if(Convert.ToBoolean(view[rowNum].Row[this.MappingName])) { value = 2; } else { value = -2; } } Well... the problem is that it doesn't work too well. I can see the checks all right, but I cannot change them. I think that the problem is that I don't understand too well the role of the CurrencyManager object. I couldn't find any example on the net on how to override SetColumnValueAtRow. If anybody knows how to do it or has another idea please post it. Thank you! Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 79120

 - CheckedListBox issue Hi now I.m a little confuse I need to loop a CheckedListBox (only the CheckedItemCollection) . I cant use a for each loop because I need to get the current and the next item in the collection, so I need index (I guess..) and I'm using this code: For i = 0 To lstLista.CheckedIndices.Count - 1 Step 2 FunctionPrint(lstList.Items.Item(i) +" " lstList.Items.Item(i + 1) Next the problem is that I'm not retrieving the items I want (the Checked items) and I cant find the instruction to get the CheckedItems using indexs any sug ken Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 79108

 - ComboBox Bug I have a Combobox with the following properties: Me.cboAddServices.DropDownStyle = System.Windows.Forms.ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList Me.cboAddServices.DropDownWidth = 240 Me.cboAddServices.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(32, 16) Me.cboAddServices.Name = "cboAddServices" Me.cboAddServices.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(225, 21) Me.cboAddServices.TabIndex = 60 This comboBox in placed inside a groupBox that is on a TabControl. The comboBox control is populated through the datasource property by a dataSet table. I have seen many problem related to tabControls & comboBoxes but none are like mine. My problem is that when I select a listItem in the comboBox it reselects the first item. After a second attempt on selecting the SAME item it highlights it. This has to be done for each listItem in order to select it. Any ideas? Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 79105

 - opacity property not working Let me start by saying that I have successfully used the Form.Opacity property in many other windows in my application. I have several forms that inherit from a base class form that do not seem to respond to the Opacity property. I've tried setting it in the designer and programatically. I've inspected the property in the debugger and it shows up at Opacity = .75, as desired. As I said, I can successfully put other windows that have varying levels of transparency up at the same time which work just fine. Any help would be appreciated.

 - Application crash caused by ToolTip.RemoveAll. If you install .Net Framework 1.1 SP 1 or .Net Framework 1.0 SP 3, you could start getting random application crashes if you use ToolTip.RemoveAll. The ToolTip control has had a memory leak since 1.0. To solve this, we put into the each form's close event the ToolTip.RemoveAll() statement. ToolTip.Dispose() didn't fix the memory leak. When SP 1 came out our application started randomly crashing. Sometimes it took five minutes, sometimes as long as five hours. Microsoft finally chased it down to the RemoveAll statement that had been changed. We switched to Dispose and the crashes stopped. They had also fixed Dispose so that it cleaned up the memory leak (they didn't actually fix the control leaking, just the Dispose method). This issue is now that if you don't have SP 1 installed, the ToolTip control will leak. Given the choices I would much rather have the leak than the crash!!! Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 79101

 - Effective exception handling I would like to know what people are using for effective exception handling in windows forms applications? I ideally want to log all exceptions raised by my application without try catch blocks in every method. The only way I can seen to do this is by subscribing to both the Application.ThreadException and the AppDomain.UnhandledException. Any suggestions on what the best way to achieve this? Many thanks DT Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 79098

 - Combo box controls in Windows Applications render list items blank Several of our windows applications are rendering the items created in controls like ComboBox controls as blank. The items are actually in the collection but the window that is displayed what the ComboBox is open shows all items as blank. We also noticed that a simple operation like MessageBox.Show("Hello World", "My Application") renders the "OK" as blank also (no text is displayed) and the Text property for the message being displayed (Hello World) is also blank. Is there any issue reported with the System.String class and the XP SP2? Any idea will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 79096

 - accessing form controls in Vb.net Hi all, I have created two forms namely form1 and form2 in my application. I created a button "start" in form1. When this button is clicked form2 is initialised as a child object and an instance of form2 is displayed at the same time hiding form1 from the user. In form2 I have an "exit" button, which when clicked invokes "me.close()". This closes form2 which is active. but still the program is not stopped, Because form1 was the startup object and it is been hidden. So the hidden form1 is alive and hence the program does not stop and the user is not seeing anything on his screen.Please tell me a way to hide form1 when form2 is invoked and at the same time when form2 is closed the entire program should be closed. With smiles, Deepa. Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 79090

 - SizeGrip Active Area I have a number of resizable windows in my application. Some of them are displayed as modal dialogs while others are displayed as normal windows. The ones that appear as dialogs show the size grip at the bottom right corner. The active area over this size grip is a rectangle that includes the size grip as displayed. When I display a normal window, the size grip does not display. Even if I set the SizeGripStyle property to Show, the active area remains the same (just near the border). I would expect the active area to be larger as it is in the modal dialog case. Is there a way to make the active area larger when the size grip is displayed? It is confusing to see a size grip icon, move your mouse over it, and then not be able to resize the window because you are not in the active area.

 - mshtml and the click event inside of a windows service. I have an application that uses the Ax web browser object. When I call the IHTMLElement.click() method on an input button (<input type="submit"> or <input type="button">), the click fires appropriately, if I'm running it from a windows forms based application. However, when I run the EXACT same code under a windows service, either as a logged in user or as the local system account, the click fails to process. Clicking on other elements (like <a>) works. I've tried submitting the form directly, in cases where a submit occurs, but can't do that either. Both GET and POST actions fail. What am I doing wrong? Is there something that prohibits the onclick event from firing for buttons when running as a service? Am I missing something? Robert Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 79074

 - ArgumentOutOfRangeException adding items to a CheckedListBox. Create a new form, add a CheckedListBox to it. Add the following code to the form's Load event: private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { this.checkedListBox1.BeginUpdate(); this.checkedListBox1.Sorted = true; try { this.checkedListBox1.Items.Add("ABC"); this.checkedListBox1.Items.Add("def", true); } finally { this.checkedListBox1.EndUpdate(); } } If the CheckedListBox is sorted, and you are between a BeginUpdate and EndUpdate, then an ArgumentOutOfRangeException will be thrown if you try to add an item to the list and set it's checked state at the same time.

 - Building a windows forms "spy" Hi I am about to develop a program that scans the text properties of a number of text boxes in another program and copies them to the clipboard. The software that I want to scan has no function for printing on a printer, and therefore I am building this extension to enable simple printouts. The program I am scanning is built in C#. My program should be built in C# too. I do not know the names of the textboxes, so to begin with I need to be able to get the names of the textboxes to scan. These names will probably not change, so when have gotten these names I can add them to the code. I know the name of the form (or at least the caption of the form) that the textboxes are in. I have no need for changing the properties of the textboxes either. Does anyone have some simple code that can help me getting started? Thanks Jonas Bergman Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 79044

 - Why does transparency only work sometimes with 32 bit color depth? I have an application that uses transparency. My video settings are 1600x1200 and 32 bit color. I can make the main dialog transparent but other controls and child windows are not transparent, I see the colored box around my control. If I switch my color depth to 16 bit everything is fine. Why does it work on some forms but not others. I can even make my main form transparent and drop a custom control that has transparency set. The main form goes transparent but the custom control has a blue (my transparent color) box around it. Again if I switch color depth it works fine. I heard that somewhere in the .NET documentation it says transparency is not supported under 32 bit color. I have a hard time believing this. Are there any computers that don't come in 32 bit color mode anymore? Jim Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 79008

 - exceptionless exceptions in masked edit box Hello, I encountered something to that, even though I have worked it out for myself, I thought should be passed on. While I was debugging an event handler (Validating) for a masked edit box, I suddenly found myself 'back in the UI'. The line of code that precipitated the surprise exit from the event handler to the UI happened to generate a null reference exception, but no detectable exception was reported (either in the IDE debug run or in the released program). The line of code was not in a try/catch block (there are others in the handler and, when appropriate, they are triggered). It was the true source of the bug being worked on, but it was not detected until much later in the code because as far as anyone knew the event handler validated the control quite nicely. I figure that whatever 'hidden' code calls the event handler does so from within its own try/catch block. When it encounterd this particular exception, it simply returned execution to the 'UI thread' (no explicit multi-threading was used in the program, that descriptive phrase was intended to limit verbiage (looks like I failed there)). I don't know if this is just an issue with the masked edit box or with more controls. Thought you'd like to know, mklapp Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 78983

Run it without full trust (by going to the command line and running \\localhost\...\program.exe) and you will get the following exception: System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed. at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.ObjectReader.CheckSecurity(ParseRecord pr) at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.ObjectReader.ParseObject(ParseRecord pr) at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.ObjectReader.Parse(ParseRecord pr) at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.__BinaryParser.ReadObjectWithMapTyped(BinaryObjectWithMapTyped record) at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.__BinaryParser.ReadObjectWithMapTyped(BinaryHeaderEnum binaryHeaderEnum) at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.__BinaryParser.Run() at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.ObjectReader.Deserialize(HeaderHandler handler, __BinaryParser serParser, Boolean fCheck, IMethodCallMessage methodCallMessage) at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter.Deserialize(Stream serializationStream, HeaderHandler handler, Boolean fCheck, IMethodCallMessage methodCallMessage) at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter.Deserialize(Stream serializationStream) at System.Resources.ResourceReader.LoadObject(Int32 pos) at System.Resources.RuntimeResourceSet.GetObject(String key, Boolean ignoreCase) at System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject(String name, CultureInfo culture) at System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject(String name) at Clientele.Utility.DbHealthChecker.ConfigurationSettingForm.InitializeComponent() at Clientele.Utility.DbHealthChecker.ConfigurationSettingForm..ctor() at Clientele.Utility.DbHealthChecker.MdiMainForm.MdiMainForm_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnCreateControl() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmShowWindow(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ContainerControl.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WmShowWindow(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) Basically, this stops us from using a LinkLabel when our forms are localizable and the EXE isn't run with full trust.

 - WS_EX_LAYERED/LockWindowUpdate problem Hello, I use LockWindowUpdate() API function through P/invoke to prevent updating form content while updating/removing/adding something in form (child controls). Despite of the bug in W2k (Q270624, Layered Windows Disappear During Calls to the LockWindowUpdate() Function) I do something like this: 1. Remove WS_EX_LAYERED attribute from form through SetWindowLong API 2. Call LockWindowUpdate 3. some updates (adding/removing child controls through standard .NET methods) 4. Call LockWindowUpdate - for form unlock 5. set back WS_EX_LAYERED flag on a form 6. redraw form but on W2k after a point 5 form disappears and I cannot resolve this issue. Thanks in advance -bda- Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 78960

 - drawing text, autosizing textbox, flickering ... Hi (VS.Net 2003 + SP), how to make anchored textboxes, toolbars or statusbar not to flicker on resize? And one more thing, I wanted to make multiline textbox to autosize in height and width. Since autosizing is done only in singleline, I used prefferedSize= Graphics.MeasureString(control.text, control.font) to get required size. But after resizing textbox, I saw that it is too wide and height is less than required. So I tried to paint text myself. Then I saw, that everyline of that text is painted differently (using standart font, same text on every line), changing text to Arial 9pt, helped a bit. But anyway it is too wide and height is less than required for textbox. How to implement full autosizing for textbox? Tag: RichTextBox Images Tag: 78951
