    - Deployment Project - Custom Checkbox Form - Can't reference value! I created a setup project in VS.NET 2k5 and added an additional dialog to ask the user where they would like to place icons for my application. The options are Desktop and QuickLaunch Menu. When the user unchecks one of these, or checks one of these, the value is completely disregarded by my setup project when installation commences. I have found other users complaining of the same thing, and I have followed the instructions given at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k3bb4tfd.aspx under the "To add the samples to the installer" section about 3/4 of the way down the page. Other users having this same issue can be found at http://discuss.develop.com/archives/wa.exe?A2=ind0511a&L=dotnet-winforms&T=0&F=&S=&P=651 Thank you for any advice!

    - control change events altering other controls. I have occasions when a user changes the entry in one control the entry in another control is automatically changed. I have got into a muddle and I am not sure if I should be changing the value of the second control, or the field in the underlying record that the control is bound to. I want to do this in such a way that the CancelEdit feature works. As a specific example I am using the CheckedChanged event of a check box to clear the data in another field if the check box is cleared. many thanks in advance Rod Tag: StatusBar sizing grip does not work correctly on dual screen displ Tag: 97195

    - ClickOnce, MSBuild and multiple servers. We're currently getting ready to deploy an application using ClickOnce. We'll be placing the deployment on two servers. Because the app.config files will need to point to different servers, we're using the revision number to indicate which server it came from. Currently, this means manually changing the version in the IDE and then publishing to each server. Is there any way to automate this using MSBuild? After looking around it appears MSbuild might be able to generate the files for publishing, but they would then need to be copied to the publish site, is this correct? Can you specify the version number in the build? -- Neil Tag: StatusBar sizing grip does not work correctly on dual screen displ Tag: 97193

    - Is Wizard control only available for ASP.NET? It would be nice to have Wizard control in WinForms. Yes, there is User Interface Process Application Block available, but if I need a simple two-step wizard, it is an overkill. It won't take very long to make a simple wizard from scratch, but it is still nice to have a simple light-weight control that can be reused... Why isn't it a part of WinForms? Thanks, -Stan Tag: StatusBar sizing grip does not work correctly on dual screen displ Tag: 97192

    - backgroundworker Question We have been using multi-threading in our application in 2003 with good results. When we migrated to 2005 our old code blew up, so we rewrote our code using the backgroundworker. It seemed to easy to be true. When we run our application now it seems that the screens are running synchronously and not Async. We usually have 3 to 4 backgroundworkers going at the same time inside the activated event for the form. See the code below to show how we are using the worker: Private QueueWorker As New BackgroundWorker Delegate Sub QueueDelegate() Private Sub LoadInitialQueue(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DoWorkEventArgs) Try Dim ReturnAsync As IAsyncResult = BeginInvoke(New QueueDelegate(AddressOf SetupQueue)) EndInvoke(ReturnAsync) Catch exp As Exception MessageBox.Show(exp.Message.ToString) End Try End Sub Public Sub SetupQueue() Try QueueFlex.Redraw = False dsNotifications.Clear() dsNotifications.Reset() Dim parm() As Object = {Main.oProperties.UsersBankLoanTeamID, 0} DBCalls.AccessDataLayer.FillDataset("SelUserNotifications", Main.oProperties.ConnectionString, dsNotifications, New String() {"queue"}, parm) QueueFlex.DataSource = dsNotifications.Tables("queue") FormatQueue() QueueFlex.Redraw = True Catch exp As Exception MessageBox.Show(exp.Message.ToString) End Try End Sub Do we have to use BeginInvoke & EndInvoke with this new component because that seems like the bottleneck. If we do still need to use them what can I do differently that would make the UI more responsive. It just seems that we lost the UI responsiveness when we moved over to the backgroundworker. it looks like it gets the data from the sql server async but it doesn't populate the controls async so it looks sync. I don't know any help would be appreciated. Tag: StatusBar sizing grip does not work correctly on dual screen displ Tag: 97191

    - Click Event on MenuItem with subitems Hi group, I have a MenuItem with some subitems. I don't want the Click-Event of the MenuItem to show me the subitems, but to do something else - e.g. opening a dialog. The subitems will be shown anyway by mouseOver. MenuItem submenuImages = new MenuItem("Image", new EventHandler(this.menuItem_Image)); or submenuImages.Click += new EventHandler(menuItem_Image); But this EventHandler is never accessed. Why? I also tried to derive from MenuItem to create my own MenuItem and overwrite it's OnClick - but it seems to me, that this is not possible.

    - Resetting Combo to original state Hello, I'm using a combo box and some text boxes on an input form. When the user submits the input, all the textboxes should be cleared & the combo box reset to the way it was originally displayed (order desc.) How do I 'refresh' to combo box to display as it did?

    - Form Loading Issue - VS.NET 2003 Hello, I have a dialog in my VB.NET application that has some controls for configuration and an "Apply" button. The design calls for the Apply button to be enabled only after the user has made changes to the settings. To do this the change events for each control are used and the Apply button enabled when any control raises a change event. The problem is that when the form loads and default values are output the controls (correctly) fire change events. Is there a mechanism to get around this, so that only user changes enable the Apply button? Thanks, Sid. Tag: StatusBar sizing grip does not work correctly on dual screen displ Tag: 97163

    - ComboBox design-time DataBinding setting questions. These setting mystify me for these reasons. *SelectedItem* - Help says that 'SelectedItem' gets or sets the currently selected item in the combobox. *SelectedValue* - Help says that 'SelectedValue' gets or sets the value of the member property specified by the ValueMember property. *ValueMember* - Help says that the 'ValueMember' Gets or sets the property to use as the actual value for the items in the ListControl. The above three properties are described as results of runtime events! What are they doing in the properties section of the ComboBox????? How do I use them to sync a databound combobox on a form with the current bound row on the form? Please help me understand how to use these settings?

    - maximized MDI Child position shifts Hi. I'm using VS2005, Framwork 2.0. I have an MDI app. The child forms are maximized within the parent. The child forms have the controlbox property set to false and the text property is empty. When my child form opens, the top 40 pixels or so get covered up by the parent. It seems that the child form is shifted up. So I changed my child form so that all controls are shifted 40 pixels down, leaving 40 pixels of empty space at the top. When I do this, the child form shows up correctly as the empty space gets covered up rather than my controls. But once and a while (I haven't found the pattern yet) the child form will shift back down that 40 pixels leaving me with blank space up top and covered controls down below. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I have noticed that if I put a value in for the text property of the child form, I don't have to shift my controls down 40 pixels and I don't get the random shifting. But the parent form takes this child text property and appends it to it's own text property in brackets. Mabye the answer is to put something in the child text property and somehow override how the parent writes it's text property? Can someone help me on how to do this? Thanks in advance.

    - Dll Reference Performance Are there any performance issues, if we have many dll reference added to our project. Any way, does it take more time to load the application if we have many dll reference added to a project, even though we don't use at application load. Does more dll takes more time to load. If we merge many dll into one does it improve the performance. Our application takes long time to load, and we are doing nothing at startup. We are using "no touch deployment". Please suggest any way to load the application faster. Any help greatly appreciated. Dan Tag: StatusBar sizing grip does not work correctly on dual screen displ Tag: 97155

    - Making a Winforms app behave like a Console app I am attempting to add a "console mode" to my Winforms app. My intention is that when I start the app with a special switch (for example "myapp.exe /batch") to does not launch a graphical UI but instead just displays console messages. My first guess was to simply change the Main method of the startup class to do something like this... if (batchMode) { Console.WriteLine("Now in batch mode"); ... } else { MainForm.Run(); // Launch graphical user interface } Unfortunately, it looks like my app does not behave like a real console mode app in either case. When I execute the app from the command line, the app returns immediately and text output by Console.Write() does not appear anywhere. Setting the app as a Console mode application does not give me what I want either. With this mode, a big black console output box appears even when in "GUI mode". Is there a way to build one executable that supports both modes and dynamically switches at runtime? Tag: StatusBar sizing grip does not work correctly on dual screen displ Tag: 97151

    - Sync databound combobox to current bound record in form VS2005 I've been reading all the help I can on the topic (MSDN, other) but I can't make sense of this. Desired behavior; The user is to choose from the displayed list of the databound combobox and the coresponding 'Id' from the lookup table is to be inserted into the field of the new record. I have two simple tables. "tblPerson" is the data table. The lookup table is "lkpPersonType". The combobox dropdownstyle is "dropdownlist" to limit the user to the list. Here are the two tables "tblPerson" Id int IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , Name varchar(50), Address varchar(50), fkPersonTypeId smallint "lkpPersonType" pkPersonTypeId smallint IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , Type varchar(50) NOT NULL , The form has two binding sources "TblPersonBindingSource" for the data table and "lkpPersonTypeBindingSource" for the lookup table. The Display Member of the combobox is the "Type" field and the value member is "pkPersonTypeId" field. The Text property of the combobox is set to the "fkPersonTypeId" of the table "tblPerson". The next parts I am unsure of... I did not set the Selected Value (???) I set the Selected Item to the "Type" field of the lookup table lkpPersonType When I run the app the combobox populates. The data seems to display properly for the first record, but the combobox does not cycle through the values I know are assigned to it for the other records. In other words it is not properly bound. However there is a relationship between the two tables in the dataset, but the relationship is not specifically refered to in the form. Here is my code in the load event; \\ Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.TblPersonTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DataSet1.tblPerson) Me.LkpPersonTypeTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DataSet1.lkpPersonType) Me.FkPersonTypeIdComboBox.DataSource = Me.lkpPersonTypeBindingSource Me.FkPersonTypeIdComboBox.DisplayMember = "Type" Me.FkPersonTypeIdComboBox.ValueMember = "pkPersonTypeId" 'Me.FkPersonTypeIdComboBox.SelectedValue = ??? 'Me.FkPersonTypeIdComboBox.SelectedItem = "Type" Me.FkPersonTypeIdComboBox.Text = "TblPersonBindingSource.fkPersonTypeId" End Sub // Please help me make some sense of this and get it working.

    - How can I find BindingSource has some changed data. Hi, In my WinForms application, I have a set of controls that are bound to a BindingSource control. When the user closes the form, I need to ask him if he wants to save data. The problem is I cannot find anyway to check if the value of any textboxes is changed! Obviously checking DataSet.HasChange is not adequate. The reason is that the user might be in middle of adding or editing a record so the record has not been reflected to underlying dataset yet, but user accidentally clicks on form close button.

    - MDI Child Forms -- Diffrent Behavior in new Framework I have an exsiting MDI application. I have the when the child is called from the Parent, I set it's DockStyle to fill, I also have the child form set to maximized In VS 2003 and 1.1 this works the way I want it to, the child form is maximized whithin the parent so that a title bar is not displayed nor is a window border, it looks like it's a panel in the parent form. In VS 2005 and 2.0 it will not draw this way, no matter what I set the window size property to, the child still draws as a window within the parent leaving a thin border where it's docked in the parent.

    - Does anyone have an example of the UndoEngine workign with a custom IComponentChangeService implementation? Just trying to figure out how to get a service working that has no viable public methods... My current problem is that nothign ever gets added to the undo stack... All of the other methods are getting called. So my base assumption right now that is that my custom implementation is either preventing the UndoEngine service from getting called or that the designer example from MS that doesn't use a designer class, is unaware of the UndoEngine. ANyway, my head for the designer class is this: public class RootDesigner : IContainer, IDesignerHost, IDesignerLoaderHost, IComponentChangeService, IExtenderProviderService, IToolboxUser, IDesignerEventService { Changing my OnChanged event to trigger the UndoEngine is possible, I'll have to make some public accessor methods on the UndoEngien implementation. However, currently my changed event get's called more than once for 1 user operation. In the case of coping, 1 for the copy and 3 or 4 more for changing properties... This of course would not be a very optimal implementation of undo to have 4 entries for 1 user change. :( Anyways, any help appreciated.

    - Autocomplete textbox Hello all! I'm looking for ideas on implementing a textbox with autocomplete functionality, just like the one found in Excel. As the user types values into the textbox a lookup for matching values is performed. For example lets assume that the user types the character '1' and that the candidate values are '01', '02', '03', '10', '12' etc. I need the textbox to display the first candidate value that partially matches the characters typed ('01'). The cursor should be located at the end of the user typed value (1|0) and the rest of the text must be selected. As the user goes on typing, the selected text is replaced with the typed character and the lookup is performed again. I am very close. I use the Textbox.SelectionStart and Textbox.SelectionLength properties but the problem is that the caret is allways placed at the end of the selection when I need it to be located at the begining. Any Ideas? Thanks! PS: I cannot use a combobox! Tag: StatusBar sizing grip does not work correctly on dual screen displ Tag: 97098

    - Newbie User Interface hangs in multi-thread app Hi, * Apologies for reposting this from .NET Academic * I am having problems updatingh the user interface in a multi-threaded application. BACKGROUND My App has a user interface (the starting class containing main) and a CPU class to handle many asynchronous comms routines. The user interface will be kept updated on the status of the comms by the CPU class. My user interface creates an instance of a class called CPU and passes itself in the constructor this way the CPU can update the user interface by calling a method of UI PROBLEM The user interface is becoming unresponsvie. The cursor turns to the hour glass and it doesnt repaint Although all the comms threads run happily in the background as soon as the CPU tries to call the UpdateScreen method the UI hangs. ASSISTANCE REQUIRED Could you please advise me on how i should go about resolving such a problem. I may well be using bad coding strtegy so pleas advise as you see fit on any aspect. Thanks, Shaun PSEUDO CODE // within the UI class private CPU theCPU; public UI() { theCPU = new CPU(this); } UpdateScreen(string status) { textBox1.Text = status; panel1.Visible= ! panel1.Visible; } // within the CPU class public CPU (UI userInterface) { this.userInterface = userInterface; // start threads to run async comms } private void ReceivedStatusChange() { userInterface.UpdateScreen("Some new status info"); } Tag: StatusBar sizing grip does not work correctly on dual screen displ Tag: 97091

    - ComboBox and Tab character '\t' Hi, I am trying to show TAB character (char(9) or '\t') in a combobox dropdown list, but it doesn't show it. Is there anyway to show '\t' as a TAB in dropdown list text? If I can show \t in dropdown text, then I can make it like multicolumn list. This trick used to work back in win16 days. Thank you, Alan Tag: StatusBar sizing grip does not work correctly on dual screen displ Tag: 97081

    - Tactics for Debugging Custom Components with CodeDom Serialized State I have a custom component which has a complex internal state that is serialized using CodeDom serialization. It is part of a library used in a moderately complex project. The component has a custom design-time interface displayed within VS2003. All of the library assemblies are loaded into the global assembly cache on my development machine. This is all under VS2003 and .NET 1.1. Unfortunately, for reasons I have not been able to fathom, the project is very "touchy". Changes to any one of the library assemblies (there are 17) tends to break the deserialization process. I suspect this is due to known problems with VS2003's synchronization of changed global cache assemblies. The resulting error messages are not at all helpful (e.g., Method not found, object cannot be converted to target type). What's worse, I can't seem to "break" on where the problem is occuring, and single-stepping through the component's initialization process doesn't run into any problems. The only clue I've been able to find is that commenting out the following line in InitializeComponent() makes the "object cannot be converted to target type" error message go away): this.AccessControl = new OlbertMcHughLLC.DBFramework.Security.AccessControl("acl", "idnum", "name", "acl_detail", "acl_id", "name", "can_read", "can_write", "can_add", "can_delete"); What's weird about this is that the object being created >>is<<, in fact, of the correct Type...which is why I think the problem is with VS2003's support for syncing assemblies. I'd appreciate hearing any tactics/strategies which others have found helpful debugging these kinds of problems. - Mark p.s. and please, MS support staff, don't ask me to send the entire project to someone -- it's megabytes of source code, and it'd take me a week to explain how it ought to work.

    - Auto Complete/Suggest (On Steroids) I am looking to implement a search feature into a Windows Forms MDI application. Specifically I plan to embed 3 textboxes into a toolbar; one for LastName, another for FirstName, and one for CustomerID. When the user starts typing into any of these textboxes I would like to pop up another form that shows the user a dynamic list of the closest matches. The user can then use the up- and down-arrow keys to select a customer from that pop up form. To see an example of similar ("close-but-not-quite") functionality, go to http://www.thebusco.com/ and in the upper left-hand corner there is a textbox with 'Enter Part Search Here'. Start typing 'air vent cover' to see the behaviour in question. Yes, it's a Web application and I'm doing a Windows Forms app, but it shows you the general idea of what I'm trying to accomplish with Windows Forms. Please note that I am familiar with the new 2.0 features: AutoCompleteMode, AutoCompleteSource, and AutoCompleteCustomSource. But those won't work for my situation because I'm *not* looking to simply populate a textbox or a combo box from the list. What I am needing to do is let the user select the customer for which info is to appear in the currently active MDI form (and not only the control into which they are typing). The idea is that the user starts typing into any one of the 3 textboxes; as they type - the pop up window appears and shows the closest matches. The user then hits the down arrow key a few times to select the desired match, then hits Enter to (1) close the popup window, and (2) trigger logic that shows the selected customer's info in the currently active MDI form. Note that I want to pop up another window [for the closest matches] so that I can show the user many property values for the possible matches (and not simply show them a list of names similar to the one they are searching, for example). What do you see as the biggest challenges in accomplishing this dynamic search capability (and reasonable solutions)? What are the building blocks you might suggest for the solution? Thanks for your time and consideration! Tag: StatusBar sizing grip does not work correctly on dual screen displ Tag: 97077

I created a simple Windows form application with the status bar. Because I
use a dual screen display I noticed that there is a problem with the sizing
grip when I drag the form to the second screen. The sizing grip does not work
when the form is shown on the second screen.

I looked at other applications to see if this is a generic problem, but the
sizing grip in other applications (like Internet Explorer) behaves correctly.

Is this a bug in .NET Framework?
