    - How to set font from PrivateFontCollention as default font for a f Hi all, I have a font loaded in a PrivateFontColeccion and want to apply it to every control and form that compose my app. I don't want to have to apply it one control by one so I was wondering if there is a way to make my PrivateFontCollection as the primary or default font container so when the app runs the fonts specified as properties in my form controls are searched in my PrivateFontCollection before in the system installed fonts. Any ideas? Thanks! Tag: Serializing Controls in .NET 2.0 Tag: 106860

    - Help with double-click and drag-drop Hi: I posted this 3 days ago in another V-Studio2005 group and got no replies. There seems to be better response to requests in this group. Hope nobody minds me trying for an answer here. I have windows forms .Net 2 app. in which I was using double click to activate a form. I also wanted to be able to drag items out of one form onto another. I got both working separately, but I can't seem to get them to work together. The mousedown event is trapped by my drag-drop routine. This prevents double-click. As soon as mousedown fires, the app thinks it is dragging out. The datagridview control will not accept to have both double-=click and drag-drop both as possible user-actions. Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day!

    - Can Borderless forms have a context menu in the start bar? Hi I'm currently developping a skinnable form by using a borderless form (Form.FormBorderStyle=None). Is it the right way to go in the first place? if it is. Assuming that when there is no border to the form there is no context menu when you right-click on your form in the start bar too (the one with Restore, Move, Size, Close et al.)... How can I make this context menu work again? Is there a way to tell the form to make it work even if the form is borderless? thanks ThunderMusic Tag: Serializing Controls in .NET 2.0 Tag: 106849

I can't set ZOrder of Panel control neither at design time by toolbar/menu command "Bring to Front"/"Sent to Back" nor at run time by calling BringToFront method of panel.

    - cType error? I'm using several routines in my program that work on properties in a textbox. The KeyPress is one of them. They all work fine for all of the textboxes listed in the Handles ... part of the sub shown below. Except for one. I have one text box, txtAdd2, that ends up being passed to the subs as 'Nothing'. So when I try to reference the object in my subroutines I get the following error: "An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Here is the KeyPress event code. Stepping through the program the error triggers on the Me.SelectNextControl line because the sender is 'Nothing'. I get similar errors when sending a reference to txtAdd2 to other routines; Private Sub Enter_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtAdd1.KeyPress, txtAdd2.KeyPress, txtAdded.KeyPress, txtBDay.KeyPress, txtCity.KeyPress, txtEMail.KeyPress, txtFName.KeyPress, txtHPhone.KeyPress, txtJoined.KeyPress, txtLName.KeyPress, txtMPhone.KeyPress, txtState.KeyPress, txtStatus.KeyPress, txtWeb.KeyPress, txtWPhone.KeyPress, txtZip.KeyPress If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(13) Then Me.SelectNextControl(cType(sender, TextBox), True, True, False, True) End If End Sub Any help would be appreciated.

    - filtering DataGridViewComboBoxColumn contents 2 seperate but related questions 1) I have a DataGridView filled with an employee schedule, the employee is selected from a ComboBox column. Everything works fine so far. Over time, employees may be deactivated (but not deleted). The ComboBox dropdown is to list only active employees (i.e. filtered by an Active bit). This works too, but if an employee with existing lines in the schedule is deactivated, the name displayed in the ComboBox on the schedule DataGridView goes blank. It's just a display problem, the underlying data is OK and no exceptions are raised. In other words, I need the ComboBox to display ANY employee, but the dropdown to show only ACTIVE employees. What now? Custom control? --------- 2) Same project, different screen. The (nontechnical) customer decided to do some GUI designing on his own... yikes. He wants a DataGridView where the first column is ComboBoxes filled with inventroy item categories. Then the second column is to be a ComboBox of inventory items, and its dropdown should be filtered by the category selected in the first column. Usability-wise I think that makes good sense - but unfortunately I think it's not possible... is it? I suppose you could create a hidden column of BindingSources and set the filter when the first column validates, or something like that. Has anyone been through this? The inventory can contain thousands of items, even a sorted ComboBox column won't really get the job done. We almost need a "dropdown tree" column to drill down to the right item. Suggestions?

    - DataGridView always displaying a Vertical scrollbar I have managed to always display a vertical scrollbar in a DataGridView by subclassing the DataGridView and handling the VerticalScrollBar.VisibleChanged event. The problem is that the horizonal scrollbar appearance is based on the visible DataGridView view without the vertical scrollbar. So if the user does a resize, about half of the last column gets covered before the horizontal scrollbar appears. It seems that DisplayRectangle tracks the correct visible size but I can't find a way to change it that will effect the horizontal scrollbar. Overriding DisplayRectangle did not work. Thanks.

    - Opening a browser window from a Window Form Hi there, I'm trying to open a web page in a browser. I wanted to open the default browser on the computer, rather than limiting it to IE, so I did the following (web page has been changed to protect the innocent! ;oD) // botch - this gives an error if blocked by zonealarm or other firewall try { System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.google.com/"); } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show("Error while opening browser window. Check your firewall permissions.\nError returned was : " + ex.Message); } As the comment shows, if the .NET application's access to the internet is blocked by ZoneAlarm (or a similar 'outward bound blocking' firewall) then the Start() fails - but it does not return an error or exception, or indeed return at all. Stepping through in the debugger shows that the Start() never returns and the next line is not executed. Strangely, the UI keeps working, kind of; if you then do the above a second time then it gives an exception of 'The system cannot find the file specified'. Of course it works fine if the firewall allows access, but that's not much comfort. Does anyone have a solution? Failing that, can someone suggest another way to open a web page in the default browser that does not have the above problem. Failing that, can someone suggest the best way to open a web page in IE without the above problem? Thanks tons - this one's driving me crazy...

    - Get access to cookies from windows forms Hi there, I need to access cookies stored on a client computer from a windows form (in C#, .NET 2.0). I know that I can find the Temporary Internet Files stored in the Local Settings using TempInternetDir = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Cookies) + "\\"; and then use standard System.IO functions, eg string[] cookies = Directory.GetFiles(TempInternetDir); string contents = File.ReadAllText(TempInternetDir + cookieName); Unfortunately with that there are several problems, specifically (a) I can't read cookie specific details, such as expiry date, internet address, etc., and (b) the system is 'glitchy', for example deleting a file with File.Delete(TempInternetDir + cookieName) deletes the underlying text file but it's still listed in Temporary Internet Files. Can anyone suggest a way to access 'Temporary Internet Files', and cookies contained within it, legitimately, and so read the details, edit files, delete files, etc. Thanks for your help in advance.

    - Different Column Widths I am trying to do a 'simple' task in a DGV control. The problem is this. I have an unbound DGV with all 'AllowUser' options disabled. RowHeader.Visible=False ColumnHeader.Text is labelled as needed. For simplicity the DGV has 7 columns and 15 rows. The 15 rows are populated and the DGV is made visible. Everything is just fine. But now I want rows 6,7 and 11,12 to have different column spacing to the other rows. I have not been able to find a way. I tried hanlding the DGV.CellFormatting Event but cant get the desired results. In other words I want one DGV control to have different column widths depending on row number?

    - Unexpected events being raised when button is disabled I have 4 buttons ( 3 in one tab page 1 in another tab page) of a windows form. There is also a group of radio buttons.

However, the moment the line of code, run.enabled= false is reached the radio button clicked event gets fired.

    - problem with DataSet.GetXml() method Hi guys! i've filled the DatSet object and was trying to get xml data from it. i used GetXml() method for that. it worked fine when all columns of the datatable has data. it generates perfectly fine xml but when if one column in datatable has no data(null), the method doesnt generates xml for that column. for example : i've table in sql server database called temp1 which has 4 columns but sometimes only 1,3 column has data and 2,4 column doesnt has data. which looks like this col1 col2 col3 col4 1 NULL 1 NULL when i fetch data from the database into the dataset and try to get xml of that data, it looks like this: <NewDataSet> <Temp1> <col1>1</col1> <col3>1</col3> </Temp1> </NewDataSet> another thing that is happening in process is, after fetching the data into the dataset i'm extracting the datatable from the dataset and insert into another dataset and then i call the GetXml() method of the dataset. can anyone tell me what i'm missing or is there any other way to do this? thanks Lucky Tag: Serializing Controls in .NET 2.0 Tag: 106762

    - WebBrowser DocumentCompleted and Print() Hi, I am using the WebBrowser control in a winform app (.NET 2.0, WinXP SP2). I am loading a local file which contains Javascript which dynamically modifies the layout of the page when it loads. When I set the URL to this file and then call Print(), it prints correctly (Javascript is executed). When I call Print() in DocumentCompleted, it prints incorrectly (as though the Javascript is not executed) even though the page displays correctly in the embedded browser. I have tried testing for IsBusy and WebBrowserReadyState.Complete but it does not make a difference. Does anyone understand why this is happening? Am a forgetting to set something? I am wondering if its a security issue... that in DocumentCompleted the document is perceived as belonging to the wrong zone. // prints correctly this.webBrowser2.Url = new Uri(@"C:\myfile.html"); this.webBrowser2.Print(); // prints incorrectly private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.webBrowser2.DocumentCompleted += new WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(webBrowser2_DocumentCompleted); this.webBrowser2.Url = new Uri(@"C:\myfile.html"); } void webBrowser2_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e) { if (this.webBrowser2 != null) { this.webBrowser2.Print(); } } Thanks! - esw Tag: Serializing Controls in .NET 2.0 Tag: 106755

    - Dynamically adding controls to tabcontrol I'm trying to dynamically position a combo and label on a tabcontrol. The old Infragistics tabcontrol made this easy, but I'm trying to do it with VS2005 common controls. Well, I cannot dynamically add a control to a tabcontrol directly -- as the message says, "Cannot add 'ComboBox' to TabControl. Only TabPages can be directly added to TabControls." Sooooo .. what I am doing instead is to Add and Remove the combo and label to each of the 8 tabpages as the tab is selected. This I *can* do, but I'm not sure if this is the correct or best approach -- just one that works. What I'm doing is to only create the combo and label in code, not in the designer. I instantiate the control in the InitializeComponent then as each tabpage selection is made, Add the combo to the tabpage and ALSO Remove the combo from ALL the other tabpages. Any thoughts from anyone who has been through this? Is there a better way? switch (tabControl1.SelectedTab.Name.ToString()) { case "tabW": this.tabW.Controls.Add(this.cmbWidgets); this.tabC.Controls.Remove(this.cmbWidgets); this.tabS.Controls.Remove(this.cmbWidgets); ... } Tag: Serializing Controls in .NET 2.0 Tag: 106746

    - Location information of MDI child forms Hi all, I have made a similar post before, but did not get any reply. PLEASE HELP. I have written an application that consists of an MDI container form with MDI Children. When an MDI child form is closed I am storing the Location property in order to restore the window's location when a window of the same type is opened again. This works fine as long as the user does not scroll the client area of the MDI container. When the user scrolls the client area I am storing wrong locations, since the Location property of the MDI Children is relative to the upper left corner of the visual region of the client area. But I need to determine the Location relative to the virtual region of the client area. In order to calculate this I would like to detect the offset of the virtual region of the client area. Does anyone have an idea how to achieve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sebastian. Tag: Serializing Controls in .NET 2.0 Tag: 106730

    - Label.AutoSize is failing to alter Width property. Label label = new Label(); label.Width = 1; label.AutoSize = true; label.Text = "A long string, requiring a width larger than 1."; //At this point, Width is still 1. What am I missing? Shouldn't AutoSize adjust the "Size" "Auto"matically to fit the string? Tag: Serializing Controls in .NET 2.0 Tag: 106726

    - DataGridView FillWeight Property (.NET 2.0) Hi there, I have a docked DataGridView (Fill) with approx. ten columns on a form, FillWeight property is set for every one of them to a value I need. When I run the application, maximize the form and then restore its previous size, these FillWeight properties changes. I've searched through the code and found no statement that changes this property... So, why is this happening? Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

    - View Designer checks out the form Visual Studio 2005, VSS 6 I have a form that I have checked into SourceSafe. In my Visual Studio solution, when I right click and select "View Designer", the "Check out for edit" dialog appears to prompt me to check out the form from SourceSafe. I have not changed anything and simply want to open the designer to view it. If I go ahead and check out the form and close it, saving changes, then do a "Compare", all files are identical, including the .cs file, the .Designer.cs file and the .resx file. The form was not doing this before. It has several controls on it. I had recently made some changes to the form - adding a TableLayoutPanel to arrange the existing controls. I also set some of the properties (obviously), including the Dock property of some of the controls within the TableLayoutPanel cells. It seems like the Forms designer is probably actually writing to one of the files, but what it is writing is exactly the same as what's already there, thus the "Compare" results in no changes. Is this possible? If so, why? Is there a bug in the TableLayoutPanel or any other explanation for this behavior? Thanks so much for any help!!! Tag: Serializing Controls in .NET 2.0 Tag: 106716

How come it's no more possible to serialize winforms controls?
(As I recall, it was possible in the 1.1 version of the .NET framework)
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks!
