    - Win Forms App Code Generation? I'm new to .NET and somewhat disappointed in the amount of manual work required to get a simple Win Forms database application built. I'm used to working with a development environment called "Clarion" (that I'm guessing you've never heard of), which can take you from data dictionary to fully functioning application (browse, search, reporting, insert, change, delete, etc), with only a few mouse clicks. Leaving me time to spend on the more serious aspects of the application. What's more, the system doesn't abandon you after the code is generated, but handles design changes. Anyway, coming from this environment to .NET leaves me wondering if you guys really do hand-code all your basic database table browse and update forms? Admittedly I've only been playing with Visual Studio 2003 (and C#) for a while, but it seems very time consuming. Surely there is a better way? Let say I gave you a database with 100 tables and said I wanted a Win Forms application with data entry forms and filterable browse lists on all of them, including the relevant parent-child relationships, referential integrity, concurrency chechking, validation "lookups" - the usual bells and whistles. Is the .NET way to sit down for months and hand-code all this? Or am I totally missing something? I've done a web search for code generators and found a couple, but with little experience with .NET it's hard to tell from the trial versions if they fit the bill. Neither seem to handle design changes, but are kind of like complex wizards. Can anyone offer some pointers, links to sites, tools they used and liked, books I should read, or a more appropriate approach to take? Tag: Scrolling in a list box Tag: 92391

    - Forms and Panels don't respond to help requests? Hello, Why don't forms and panels respond to help requests? I have a basic form showing the Help button in the title bar, a HelpProvider, a panel and a button; and the panel and button are identically configured to show help on the HelpProvider. When I use the Help button and click on the button the .chm is opened; when I click on the panel (or the background of the form), nothing happens at all. In addition, if I add an EventHandler to the HelpRequested handler of the panel, it never gets called either. So is there some magic trick here, is this a bug or some mysterious "feature?" I've tried this with labels and textboxes, comboboxes, pictureboxes, radio buttons, trackbars; all manner of UI controls. Why are panels and forms different? Anyone have some insight or suggestions?

    - UIPAB - OpenFileDialog Hi, After writing several MDI and Forms demo-apps with UIPAB, I'm starting to feel comfortable with the UIPAB. There is, however, (at least) one issue left : according to http://builder.com.com/5100-6374_14-5058410-2.html saving a file should be an independent task. Now, since an OpenFileDialog is not a UserControl nor a Form, how should it be managed by UIPAB ? On the other hand, popping up an OpenFileDialog is so simple, that writing a separate view, controller, task and appropriate configuration seems a bit, well, overwhelming ... ;-) Any suggestion ? All your comments are highly appreciated ! Thanks, Bart Tag: Scrolling in a list box Tag: 92383

    - ComboBox BindingContext I have 2 ComboBoxes on a form bound to the same DataSet using a New BindingContext for the second one. Both ComboBoxes need to have their SelectedValue bound to a different DataSet . The first one works properly, but the second one will not select any value. I am pretty sure that this has something to do with the New BindingContext used on the second ComboBox, but I can't get around it. Note: The ComboBoxes are supposed to show a list of Employees (children). And the SelectedValue is from the Contacts table. Each Contact record has 2 Employee_ID fields. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! With ComboBox1 .DataSource = ds2 .DisplayMember = "Initials" .ValueMember = "PrimaryKey" End With ComboBox1.DataBindings.Add("SelectedValue", ds1, "ChildPrimaryKey1") With ComboBox2 .BindingContext = New BindingContext .DataSource = ds2 .DisplayMember = "Initials" .ValueMember = "PrimaryKey" End With ComboBox2.DataBindings.Add("SelectedValue", ds1, "ChildPrimaryKey2") Tag: Scrolling in a list box Tag: 92381

    - System.Windows.Forms.TextBox and Magtek Credit Card Stripe Reader I am writing a Windows Forms application where I am using a Magtek credit card reader, a "wedge", to read input into a TextBox control. I am trying to process the input in the TextChanged event handler. The problem I am having is that only the first character of input from the card magnetic stripe is captured in the Text property. In fact, when running in the debugger with a breakpoint in the event handler part of the text that is read gets written to the source file! This causes all kinds of problems in the application. I have done this on a Web form using the System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox without problem. What, if anything, can I do to capture the input from this device into the Text property of the Windows.Form.TextBox? Any input would be appreciated Thank, EagleRed Tag: Scrolling in a list box Tag: 92367

    - Catching MDI Application Closing I have an MDI application with a number of child windows. In each child window I am catching the Closing event and having the child window decide if it should set cancel to true. The intent here is to ensure that no child window can close while it is in a state where user entered information can be lost. I have just noticed that while the Closing event is caught if I click the X on the child window, it is not caught if I click the X on the MDI parent window. Is there some other event that I am missing here? Thanks, Ron L Tag: Scrolling in a list box Tag: 92365

    - 4 pane SplitContainer The SplitContainer divides the space in two, either horizontally or vertically. I'd like to divide the space in four. By adding more splitters, the problem is that they don't keep in synch automatically. It'd be nice if when the mouse hovers in the center of the four regions a cross movement icon is displayed, and movement in the two axis is allowed. With the solution of adding more splitters the user is forced to first move in one direction and then in the other one. What do you recommend to achieve this? Thanks.

    - Adding forms into a panel Hi everybody: I am adding several forms into a panel to give MDI appearance to my panel.. Though the forms inside my panel looks fine, I have three problems: 1. The focused form does have the title bar activated (it is gray, like the inactive forms) 2. The only way to bring to front a form is clicking the title bar (in a MDI container, the user can click at anyplace in the form and it gets activated). 3. Cascade, horizontal tile and vertical tile functionality is not provided. Well, the tile and cascade window organization can be implemented, but I do not know how to deal with the focus and mouse problem. Am I doing something wrong? There is another way to implement this functionality? Thank you in advance Ernesto Tag: Scrolling in a list box Tag: 92332

    - Forms are re-locating Hi, I have an application which shows forms on two different independant screens. The Windows desktop is spread across these screens. The forms are all set to manual positioning, and so to show a form on the second screen, I simply set the coordinates to be on the second screen and that is where it goes. It now seems to have developed a problem however: When I trace through what is happening all the coordinates get set correctly, and then I call Show() for the form. When show returns, the forms coordinates have been changed to show it on the first screen. I can't trace into the Show function, as it's part of the framework, but something weird is happening. Has anybody seen this before or got any idea what could be going on? Thankyou in advance. Paul Cheetham. Tag: Scrolling in a list box Tag: 92320

    - Combo refresh/binding problem Hi- I have two combobox controls (among other controls) that are all bound to dataset0 from the "Main" table. Combobox2 is bound to a column that contains a FK (system_id) which corresponds to the PK from the "Systems" table. These combobox's also function as picklists and as such are filled from two corresponding datasets (dataset2 contains the system_id (PK) and SystemName column from the the "Systems" table. The contents of Combobox2 depends on the selected item in combobox1. usage model is as follows: The controls are all bound to dataset0 by a hand-coded procedure at form load. This works fine. Combobox1 is populated by dataset1.fill. The user can scroll through the dataset0 records from ""Main" table by navigation buttons. The displayed string values in the comboboxes change accordingly. When the user wants to make changes, he opens the current record for editing but using a button which unlocks the controls. He then makes a selection from dataset1 loaded in Combobox1. All good so far. The change event on Combobox1 fires, and the contents of Combobox2 should then be loaded by dataset2 which takes a parameter based on the selection made in combobox1. This is used a parameter to the dataset2 which should populate combobox2 with the appropriate choices for the selection made in ComboBox1. But what is reflected in combobox2 is a bunch of rows that all say "System.Data.DataRowView" I should mention that this was a port from a VB6 where this worked correctly. The combobox2.datafield property was set to an integer (system_id) representing a FK in a column in dataset0. When the user chose the value in Combobox1, the value was sent as a parameter which was used to a recordset which yielded values to populate ComboBox2. This recordset came from the Systems table. ComboBox2.boundcolumn was set to Systems.system_ID (the PK), and the Combobox2.listfield was set to Systems.systemname. Since the control was bound to FK system_id from dataset0, whatever value it was sitting on, would display the correct systemname. Obviously, I have no idea how to make this scenario work in .NET. Any help would be appreciated. -- thx, jf kaminsky Tag: Scrolling in a list box Tag: 92315

Which approach will allow me to modify form/control in the design view? --Start: Different question but still about resources Can I use String Resource Tools to create resx and corresponding cs file and then split them into two separate projects â?? resx and string file (string file is created by String Resources Tool) will go to SA, and cs file to new library project?

    - Problem using API CreateBitmap function and keeping transparent co I have a C# DLL that loads a bitmap object from a PNG file. Thanks to Bob Powell's advice i managed to access the Bitmap data using the lockbits method and then call the Windows API function CreateBitmap successfully. Then the DLL provides a COM interface which returns the handle to the bitmap created using CreateBitmap function. The problem is that the initial bitmap has a transparent background color, and when using the CreateBitmap function, the bitmap seems to loose this color, which is then replaced by black (maybe something to see with ColorPalette). Furthermore, the createdbitmap is a 32bit bitmap so the alpha layer which contains transparency informations should be the same. So i don't know what i missing or doing wrong. here is the code that creates the bitmap : Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap) Bitmap.FromFile(@"C:\tmpicon.png"); BitmapData data = bitmap.LockBits(new Rectangle(new Point(0,0), bitmap.Size), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb); IntPtr HBITMAP = CreateBitmap(bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height, 1, 32, data.Scan0); NB : I also noticed that when opening the PNG file with MS Paint, the transparent color is replaced by black, whereas opening it with Photoshop or Windows Picture viewer, the transparency is visible. Can't explain this... I'd like to understand what im missing to keep the transparent color on the created bitmap. Thx for any help. Tag: Scrolling in a list box Tag: 92237

    - ToolStripContainer and MDI applications? Hi, I have an MDI container form (Form1) that has a MenuStrip and a ToolStrip embedded in a ToolStripContainer. Form1.MainMenuStrip is set to MenuStrip1. The "Content" part has a ToolStripPanel docked to Fill the entire space. I guess this is a pretty normal setup. The problem is that all Mdi childs are invisible. They open up under the ToolStripContainer, making them invisible. What am I doing wrong? I open the Mdi childs like this: Form2 frm = new Form2(); frm.MdiParent = this; frm.Show(); Thanks a lot for your help! Tag: Scrolling in a list box Tag: 92235

    - MouseUp event "falls through" FileDialog and activates control underneath Hello, In my app I have a UI control that responds to MouseUp events and opens a FileDialog. If an item in the dialog is double-clicked (instead of clicking on it then clicking OK) AND that item is over my UI control, the final MouseUp of the double-click is registered by my control and its handler is called, opening the FileDialog again. The events happen in this order: MouseDown MouseUp Dialog Opens Double-click in dialog Dialog closes MouseUp DialogOpens, etc. I'm looking for suggestions on how to correct this. I've tried removing the MouseUp handler when the FileDialog is opened, and adding it beck when it is closed but that doesn't work; it still gets called. I've tried looking for a way to "eat" the MouseUp but haven't found a way that works. For example, purging the event queue or marking the event as being handled/ignored. So, any suggestions?

    - RichTextBox + DragDrop = Buggy? Hi Consider this simple scenario: richTextBox1.AllowDrop = true; richTextBox1.DragDrop += new DragEventHandler(richTextBox1_DragDrop); richTextBox1.DragEnter += new DragEventHandler(richTextBox1_DragEnter); richTextBox1.Text = ""; private void richTextBox1_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e) { richTextBox1.Text += e.Data.GetData(typeof(string)) + "\n"; } private void richTextBox1_DragEnter(object sender, DragEventArgs e) { if (e.Data.GetDataPresent("UniformResourceLocator")) e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Link; } When dragging a URL from IE and dropping it on the RichTextBox everything is fine. But when also clicking in the control, the drop event is activated once more!? That can't be right? I have only found this to happen in the RichTextBox. Is it a bug in this control or am I forgetting something? /Andreas Zita Tag: Scrolling in a list box Tag: 92226

Hi,

I have two list boxes of the same size and the same number of items in them.
The number of items is big, so to accommodate them the list boxes display
vertical scroll bars.
I want to synchronize the vertical scrolling of these two list boxes, so
when one of them is scrolled by the user, the other is scrolled as well so
they are both at the same scroll position.
How can I do this?
I looked for some sort of scroll event that would tell me the position of
the scroll bar but I could not find anything. There was a similar example in
"Programming VB6" by Francesco Balena, but a "Scroll" event is used there,
which we dont have in .NET ( at least I cant find it)

Thanks

You can call listBox2.SetSelected(index,true) to scroll a list box
