    - Form background with per-pixel alpha? Is it possible to create an irregular window with per pixel alpha so that it blends in to the desktop at the edges? I've managed to create an irregular from using the colour-keyed TransparentColour property, but this leaves it with a hard aliased edge. I've got a png background image with an alpha channel but the alpha always comes out black. Is what I'm trying to achieve possible, or should I just give up now?

    - TreeView expand problem Hello I'm trying to implement 'in place' node adding to treeview. Ie, user requests new item and it appears in treeview reade to edit. I have this C# code: if (treeView1.SelectedNode != null) { TreeNode node = treeView1.SelectedNode; node.Nodes.Add(""); node.Expand(); node.Nodes[node.Nodes.Count - 1].EnsureVisible(); treeView1.LabelEdit = true; node.Nodes[node.Nodes.Count - 1].BeginEdit(); } It works well if a node I'm adding subnode already has some nodes. It does not work if node I'm adding subnode has no subnodes yet: after node.Expand(), node.Nodes is empty :( (ie node.Nodes.Count == 0). What is wrong here? -- Semper Fidelis Adam Klobukowski atari@gabo.pl Tag: Statusbar, a doubleClick , how to get the panel ? Tag: 85278

    - form load Hi all, In my form load, I load a datagrid with a fair amount of data. So when I click on the button that creates the form I show the wait cursor but it looks like the program has hung the button stays in and it looks like it isn't doing anything until it has loaded all the datagrid etc... Is there a way in which when the toolbar button is pressed I refresh the button, show the form first then I can put "loading data" in the status bar (or even a progress bar in the status bar also) then finally load the datagrid? I think in C++ this was called ProcessMessages but I cannot see this in c#. Thanks for the help Regards Gav Tag: Statusbar, a doubleClick , how to get the panel ? Tag: 85272

    - PropertyGrid - Internet Explorer hosting problem Hi, I have created a Windows UserControl. This Control hosts a PropertyGrid and a Button control. The UserControl project also includes a class called "TestClass" and a custom TypeConvertor class called "DDConv". When the user clicks on the Button control, the application assigns an instance of "TestClass" to the PropertyGrid. The "TestClass" has a property called "CustProp" and it has an TypeConverter attribute assigned to the "CustProp" property. The TypeConvertor points to the "DDConv" class. The PropertyGrid in the UserControl displays a DropDown against the "CustProp" property when the UserControl is hosted in a windows application. When the UserControl is hosted in Internet Explorer, the PropertyGrid does NOT SHOW any DropDown for the "CustProp" property. NOTE: I test the UserControl in Internet Explorer from a virtual directory on my machine. I have set "FullTrust" for the "LocalIntranet_Zone" on my machine. I want the PropertyGrid to display the DropDown in Internet Explorer - can someone help me in figuring out how to acheive the same?

    - Detecting which key has been pressed Hi all, I"m making a small WinForm application in VB.NET. It has 2 textboxes on the form which can only contain numbers > 0. On the right of each textbox there are 2 buttons which when pressed increment or decrement the values in the textboxes. To make the program more user-friendly I want them to be able to press a key on the keyboard which in turn will increment or decrement a value. For example, if they press "a" then TextBoxA will increment, if they press "A" then TextBoxA will decrement. Here's what I've got sofar: Private Sub frm40MMCounter_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyPress If e.KeyChar = Chr(65) Then txtA.Text = CInt(txtA.Text) + 1 ElseIf e.KeyChar = Chr(97) Then txtA.Text = CInt(txtA.Text) - 1 End If End Sub I hope someone can help me with this.

    - Drag N Drop from managed -> unmanaged & vice versa Our product has implementation both in managed & unmanaged code. So also, user interface dialogs are both in managed & unmanaged. Currently, I'm working to support drag & drop across the interop boundaries & am running into some problems with custom data formats. So far, I've discovered that if I create a DataObject in managed code for my custom data format, then on the unmanaged side, I get the DataObject as a COM object. What is the way to extract the actual data from this COM object? I've tried various ways to decipher the COM object, including defining my own unmanaged COM DataObject & calling Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown to wrap the unmanaged COM object, but so far I haven't been able to figure out the proper way to extract my data correctly on the unmanaged end. I suspect I will run into a similar situation when trying to drag & drop from an unmanaged dialog to a managed dialog. I will appreciate any pointers to resolving this problem.

    - app config limits - patterns&practice needed How does an app config file support roaming users? Isn't the registry still better suited to store app data? my favorite usage pattern are [TAPI based] CTI apps: - there is a country specific part (numbering scheme) - there is a location specific part (hardware device settings like dial tone, getting an outside line...) typically defined by the office's PBX - there is a hardware/PC specific part (the ports connecting the CTI hardware, headset connection), defined by the PC on the desk - there is a provider specific setting like billing data cost computation - there is something personal to the user (my favorite numbers, speed dials, histories) - employees share multiple desks (it's a n:m relation) how does a .NET app config file looks like that handles all those parts automatically as far as possible? so all I want is: I log in and tell the app where I am n(or my phone does this), the app then loads everything automatically. thanks herbert Tag: Statusbar, a doubleClick , how to get the panel ?

    - Creating a long string This should be so easy it's embarassing, but I've looked & looked on the inet... What's the equivalent in VB .NET of the old Basic String$() function? To create string of 1000 zeros, you'd do a$=string$(1000,0) which you don't seem to be able to do in VB .NET. I thought Dim s As String = Microsoft.VisualBasic.string(1000,0) but it doesn't like it.

    - Intercept Shift+Tab in Datagrid By overriding the InputKeys and KeyDown methods on the datagrid, I can intercept the Tab. However, this is not the case with the Shift+Tab. What I need to do for this particular datagrid/app is to disable the ability of the user to tab through each cell in the datagrid. Basically, when the datagrid or a cell gets focus and the Tab key is pressed, the focus should go to the next control on the form, instead of to each individual cell. I've got that part working, but when a cell gets focus and Shift+Tab is pressed, I haven't been able to intercept it. I've tried the InputKeys/KeyDown as I mentioned above and have also tried overriding the ProcessCmdKey method but no luck. I was thinking about overriding WndProc but was told that the Shift+Tab happens even before that so haven't tried it as of yet. Anyone done this before?

    - app.config Updates With No-Touch I'm deploying a windows form application using no-touch deployment and Rockford Lhotka's NetRun app. The first time I run the app everything is fine, the config file downloads to the client. But, if I edit the .config file on the IIS server (running MS Server 2003, .Net Fw 2.0), the client doesn't download the new version the next time I run the app. I checked the output of fuslogvw and it says the config file is from the user's temp internet file directory. Its almost like if IE finds the file in the temp dir, it doesn't even bother to check the server for updates. Any Ideas? Tag: Statusbar, a doubleClick , how to get the panel ? Tag: 85235

    - Starting out Hi, I've just started using Windows Forms, .NET and C#. I have Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition and I am looking to develop an application to consume the Amazon SOAP web service (fetching product information based on ISBN etc). Visual Studio creates form and program C# files and everything appears quite straightforward in creating a user interface (drag and drop etc). However I'm unsure how to structure my application. Does the form C# (Form.cs) represent a single form or should it represent the entire UI? I would like to use multiple forms and pop-up dialog boxes. Also, I guess the program C# (Program.cs) class should be used to implement the business logic (e.g. web service access etc) and reference the UI class (Form.cs)? I would appreciate any feedback and advice on how to get started. Thanks, MB Tag: Statusbar, a doubleClick , how to get the panel ? Tag: 85217

    - Missing the 'Expandable' TreeNode property The MSDN has an article titled: "HOW TO: Dynamically Add Nodes to a TreeView WebBrowser Control by Using Visual C# .NET". The article exploits a property of the TreeNode control called 'Expandable'. However, the property is available only for the Web Controls, and to my surprise I couldn't find it among the TreeNode Windows Forms properties. This Expandable property is crucial if you want to develop a smart, dynamic tree view which doesn't load all the data at once, but does it automatically as the user requests to expand the node. This is especially important if you want to bind the tree view to a database which can contain thousands of rows and you don't want to load all the nodes if the user doesn't even request it. Without the Expandable property the node doesn't have the ability to expand if you don't feed the sub-nodes during the tree creation. In other words the node doesn't have the 'plus' box to trigger the 'Expand' request. If the subnodes are supposed to be provided only on the expand request, then you are stuck. Is there any workaround for this problem? Thanks Cezar Tag: Statusbar, a doubleClick , how to get the panel ? Tag: 85166

    - Get caret pos in TextBox The documentation states that you can use the SelectionStart property of the TextBox to get the position of the caret in the TextBox. Well, what if the selection is BEFORE the caret? Say you have the word â??TEXTâ?? and you want to select â??EXâ??. There are 2 ways you can do this. You can click before the E and drag to the X so the caret is now sitting after the X. You can click after the X and drag to the E so the caret is now sitting before the E. In both cases the SelectionStart property has the value of 1 and the SelectionLength has a value of 2, yet the caret is in two different places. Using the SelectionStart property alone canâ??t always give you the correct caret position. How can one get the true caret position and be absolutely sure itâ??s correct?

    - Problem using a UserControl in a DataGrid Hi In my Windows Form application I created a File Browser control that was derived from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl. It contains a single line text box and a button. The user can enter a filename in the text box or hit the browse button which pops up the File Open Dialog box and lets the user select a file. The subsequent selection is placed in the text box. This control is placed in a DataGrid using a column derived from DataGridColumnStyle. Everything works great except when Iâ??m entering text in the text box of my File Browser control, hitting Left, Right, Home, or End moves the current cell in the DataGrid instead of moving the caret in the text box. Iâ??ve found that if I derive a class from TextBox and use that in my UserControl instead of using the stock TextBox, override the ProcessCmdKey() method, and move the caret myself, I can get this to work correctly. This seems really sloppy though. I donâ??t know why the TextBox is not using and keeping the keys instead of ignoring them and letting the messages bubble up to the grid control. Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tag: Statusbar, a doubleClick , how to get the panel ? Tag: 85149

The error in class System.Windows.Forms.UpDownBase.UpDownEdit : protected override void OnLostFocus(EventArgs e) { this.parent.OnLostFocus(e); } To fix that bug the method must be changed: protected override void OnLostFocus(EventArgs e) { this.parent.OnLostFocus(e); base.OnLostFocus(e); } Tag: Statusbar, a doubleClick , how to get the panel ?

    - How to create an "Desktop Taskbar Application" Hi, I would like to know if it's still possible on Windows 2000 or XP to create a "Desktop Taskbar Application" (An application who attach it-self to the edges of the Desktop screen) in VB.NET or C# I know how to do it with the WIN32 API. the following link show how to do it: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;134206 According to this article (Q134206), it's the Windows Explorer shell of 95, 98 and NT4.0 who allowed this possibility. Is it still possible ? If so, I want to go to the next level, I mean with .NET. Is there a Class in the .NET Framework that will allow me to do that???

    - MouseDown, MouseUp Hi, I have trouble understanding why this fails but here is what I'm trying to do: I have 1 form with 2 controls in it. I created a MouseDown handler for both controls (setting up different internal things each) and 1 MouseUp handler for the form since both controls can use the same code. Now, what I was excepting was: - The 2 controls would catch and call their MouseDown handlers: that works. - And as none of the controls have no MouseUp handler the message would be propagated to the parent form where the form MouseUp handler would be called: that doesn't work. Capturing the mouse doesn't help. Any ideas? Thanks Tag: Statusbar, a doubleClick , how to get the panel ? Tag: 85140

    - how to change printer settings Hi All, Does someone knows how to manage printer settings programmatically? System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings class allows to change them for a custom document but I need to do it not for one document but for an installed printer in general, the same way I can do it manually by opening Printers folder on my local computer, selecting printer and changing it's settings. When I do it manually there is no difference if a printer is local or network one. Is there a convenient way to do it via .NET? At least, I'd like to find a way to manage settings of network printers. Thanks, Artem Tag: Statusbar, a doubleClick , how to get the panel ? Tag: 85135

    - Should I store Graphics object ? hi, We are currently porting our project from VB6 to VB .NET. Earlier we used to make scale transformations on objects like pictureBox , forms etc.Now Such transformations are made on the graphics object of the form/pictureBox. Should It be better if make a graphics object from my pictureBox in load event handler of the form and store it as member variable of the form , make transformations as and when required(we really require such transformations from mils to pixels.). And finally I can dispose it when the form is disposed. But I have read somewhere that Graphics object should never be stored as member varibale of a class.And so I am really confused as to what should I do ? Plz help me regarding this.. sanjay Tag: Statusbar, a doubleClick , how to get the panel ? Tag: 85131

    - MDI child problem (switching between MDI children) Hi, I have an MDI container with several MDIchildren. When more than 1 childform is opened i get a problem when clicking another form to get to it (take it to foreground). It only works when a control is clicked in the other form, otherwise, the first form just stays in the forground and the other form doesn't get selected. I hope this is kind of clear. I thought the problem was with one childform having the topmost-property set to true, but this isn't the case. Anyone seen this behaviour and knows what might cause it. Thanks, Bjorn.

Try this:

Add a single event handler for the DoubleClick event of all the panels.
Check the sender property for the event sender object. (Cast the sender to
Panel and compare with the name, tag or something...)

Hi Pondala,

I have the same question as what Peter had. As far as I know, StatusBarPanel
doesn't support any event handler except "Dispose" event. That means you
can't add a DoubleClick event to StatusBarPanel. Is there any idea?

Peter, did you find the solution for it?

Regards,

Bin
