I do not recall having touched nothing in the configuration that could cause this. Do I have to reinstall Visual Studio .NET ? Has my hard drive malfunctioned ? Thank You for any help.

    - Display specific category in PropertyGrid Hi All, I would like to display ONLY a specific category in the PropertyGrid. Is this possible? If not, then, is there a way to suppress base class properties being displayed in the PropertyGrid? The base class in my case is a NODE object from FORMS namespace and I do not want its properties being displayed in my PropertyGrid. Therefore, I cannot change the "Browsable" attribute of properties in the Node class. Thanks in advance! Tag: Toolbar buttons are not functioning Tag: 73748

    - How to make AxWebControl.Navigate work! When attempting to invoke "Navigate" on an AxWebControl that I programmatically created, I was getting an InvalidActiveXStateException exception. After searching around for a solution to the problem, I couldn't find one that worked reliably. I found a solution, deduced from the fact that the control seems to work fine when created by the designer, yet doesn't when created programmatically. I started with a working scenario in the designer and eliminated code until I found the solution below. I thought that I should post this solution, though I have no insight as to why it works. FWebBrowser = new AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser(); FWebBrowser.BeginInit(); // Seems to be critical the have the begin...end init FWebBrowser.Parent = <container>; FWebBrowser.EndInit(); object LTemp = null; FWebBrowser.Navigate(FURL, ref LTemp, ref LTemp, ref LTemp, ref LTemp); Tag: Toolbar buttons are not functioning Tag: 73746

    - MDI Form inter children sizing issue, by design ? Hi! Here's my application: I have an MDI parent in which I open a child with WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized. The child form hosts the WebBrowser control. When a user clicks on a link in the browser, I open up another child form like this: PopUpForm newPopForm = new PopUpForm(); newPopForm.MdiParent = this.MdiParent; e.ppDisp = newPopForm.webMain.Application; newPopForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal; newPopForm.Visible = true; newPopForm.Focus(); As you can see, the WindowState on the new popup form is Normal. It works fine. However, the 1st child is no longer Maximized. It's WindowState becomes Normal as well. Question: Is it by design or I am doing something wrong? What can I do to keep the WindowState of the 1st child fixed from being changed by opening a new form? I mean the user can resize the 1st child, so I want 1st child to remain the same. I tried to save the WindowState and adjust it after I popup the new form. However, once I placed focus to the popup form, the 1st child lost its state. Please help me solve the mystery. Many Thanks in Advance, Tag: Toolbar buttons are not functioning Tag: 73735

    - BeginInvoke calls EventHandler with different parameters than supplied Question, When using BeginInvoke (on a From to marshal to the UI thread) with the EventHandler delegate I see some strange behaviour. The problem is that I call the UpdateTextBox method with a class derived from EventArgs ( i.e. MyEventArgs) and when the BeginInvoke is called and the UpdateTextBox methode is call on the UI thread the parameter e (EventArgs) does not contain the derived MyEventArgs object but a EventArgs object. The strange thing is that if I create a delegate with the same signature as the EventHandler ( MyEventHandler) everything works as expected. (See comments in the code below) Can anyone explane this to me? Sandor (Methods below are implemented on a From derived class) private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(OnThreadStart)); t.Start(); } private void OnThreadStart() { UpdateTextBox(null, new MyEventArgs(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString())); } private void UpdateTextBox(object sender, EventArgs e) { if(InvokeRequired) { // When using MyEventHandler everything works as expected. //MyEventHandler h = new MyEventHandler(UpdateTextBox); EventHandler h = new EventHandler(UpdateTextBox); BeginInvoke(h, new object[] {sender, e}); } else { // This cast will fail !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MyEventArgs args = (MyEventArgs)e; textBox1.Text = string.Format("Current time: {0}", args.CurrentTime); } } public class MyEventArgs : EventArgs { public readonly string CurrentTime; public MyEventArgs(string currentTime) { CurrentTime = currentTime; } } delegate void MyEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e); Tag: Toolbar buttons are not functioning Tag: 73732

    - Delegates & Events I need some clarrification. I have a class called ChatManager that will manage the interaction between the ClientUI (WinForm) and the chat server. The ChatManager will have a number of public events. When the ClientUI is instantiated it will subscribe to these events providing its own methods to be used as event handlers. In the ChatManager code when I raise a particular event...which in turn calls the delegate... Will the delegate execute on the same thread as the ClientUI (which it must do to update the WinForm) or does it execute on some other thread? Kyle!

    - Anyone knows how to change the height of a ComboBox ? Hi all, I have modified a .NET (C#) ComboBox to display images along with text so I need to set the combo box height to values larger than default in order to show an image bigger than 16 pixel high. Changing the control height property is irrelevant. The only way I found to increase the height of the combo is to change the font size but that doesn't help me much because I need regular font size to display the items. Is there any other way to set the height?? Thanks, \T Tag: Toolbar buttons are not functioning Tag: 73716

    - Shortcut for Refresh, F5 or symbolic code? Hello! I would like to introduce a keyboard shortcut for refreshing the user interface in many programs. In english locales it's often F5 which is used, but how about other locales and/or preferences. Should I simply bind the refresh feature to F5 or is there a symbolic Shortcut for refreshment? Comment: I think there must be symbolic key, because my IBM ThinkPad A31p has a refresh button which refreshes in Internet Explorer, but it does not work in my own program when I bind to F5, but F5 works perfectly of course. Any recommendations? Best regards, Henrik Dahl Tag: Toolbar buttons are not functioning Tag: 73705

    - Visual inheritance and .NET IDE Hi I create a abstract base class("MyBaseForm") which extends System.Windows.Forms.Form class. I add buttons,.... . I then extend another class("MyDerivedForm") from "MyBaseForm". This compiles fine, runs fine but as soon as I double click - MyDerivedForm - to view the form in the IDE designer - the IDE designer gives me an error. Is the a bug? I saw a similar post earlier with no suitable explanation. This is basically what we are trying to do. Create a base class with something like this: namespace MyFormClassLibrary { public abstract class MyBaseForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form { public MyBaseForm () { } } } Then create another Form and change the superclass from "System.Windows.Forms.Form " to the "MyPage" class created above: namespace MyFormClassLibrary { public class MyDerivedForm : MyBaseForm { public MyDerivedForm() { } } } Is there a fix for the IDE?

    - So many fonts ... I have noticed that the Windows Forms Designer generates code that creates a new System.Drawing.Font object every time the Font property of a control is set to any value other than the default. Isn't this a terrible waste of system resources? Or are those mere flyweight objects, and the framework prevents needless resource duplication behind the scenes anyway? -- Gerhard Menzl Humans may reply by replacing the obviously faked part of my e-mail address with "kapsch".

    - Abuse of GDI+ resources Recently some friends were looking at some code written by an outside contractor. In the code, there was a great deal of use of pens and brushes without disposing of them. What surprised me is that the system never seemed to run out. The brushes and pens were being created in every paint event. I suppose it's possible that the garbage collector was getting around to them often enough to finalize the pens and brushes, but I doubt it was happening often enough to keep up with the use. I've always thought of pens and brushes as very limited system resources. Is that no longer the case with Gdi+? Also, in a similar vein, we were discussing the use of a static pen object to optimize drawing in a control. Is this considered acceptable? I mean, the pen (and I presume its underlying GDI+ handle) are going to be held for the lifetime of the app if it's static. Can someone help modernize my understanding of GDI?

    - Anchor Property Ignored On Custom Composite Controls I have a composite custom control (VB.NET) which is constructed of several other controls, such as command buttons, a listview etc. I have several controls which border the boundary of the container and have their anchor properties set accordingly, for example, ensuring a button stays on the right border when the control is resized. Now in the control's design view everything works correctly, controls are correctly repositioned. However, when I put the composite custom control on a form, the anchor properties are completely ignored, for example, in the form's design view when you resize the control, the child controls with the anchor property set don't move, and even in runtime the control has not correctly resized. Now obviously I could manually control things in the resize event, but this defeats the point of the anchor property, which works for single controls, so why not for a custom control. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution or at least knows why it happens? Thanks In Advance, James Tag: Toolbar buttons are not functioning Tag: 73678

    - Issue with Data bound Text box validation I have a C# Windows forms application which uses XSD file created in memory dataset. On one of the forms I have bunch of text boxes to enter values for various columns of a table and they all are data bound. For one of text boxes value entered must be unique and I want to check this uniqueness as soon as user leaves corresponding text box after entering any value. I have tried following two methods and none seems to be working 1. If I try to attach a UniqueConstraint on corresponding column then it will not get fired until acceptchanges is not called and thus I cannot validate value as soon as user leaves field. 2. If I try to get a DataView with a rowfilter based upon value entered by user then it does not looks into rows which have â??modifiedâ?? or â??addedâ?? row state. I have tried to use all possible combination of DataViewRowState enumeration values but nothing seems to be able to force returned DataView to include modified or added status rows. Thus I get duplicate values in table So I have two questions â?? 1. Is it possible to enforce UniqueConstraint before AcceptChanges is called on Row / Table (may be in column changing event itself)? 2. What can cause an DataView to skip â??modifiedâ?? or â??addedâ?? row state rows even if DataViewRowState. CurrentRows has been specified for RowViewState of DataView? My apologies for possibly a vague explanation of my problem and thanks in advance for any thoughts. Tag: Toolbar buttons are not functioning Tag: 73676

    - NullReferenceException in UnsafeNativeMethods.CreateWindowEx Hi all, I have the following situation. I create AppDomains on demand to host winform based controls from C++ host. I'm using .NET 1.1. I tried to do AppDomain.Unload from background thread to free up the main GUI thread and make it more responsive. When I try this, I get the exception, listed below, always on the 3rd AppDomain and control creation. I tried getting SystemEvents through reflection and calling Shutdown manually. This delays the problem. It almost doesn't happen, but still re-appears sometimes. This doesn't reproduce in .NET 2.0 alpha. Is there any way I can work around this bug/limitation? I also would like to know what is being null inside the UnsafeNativeMethods.CreateWindowEx or under what conditions. Maybe I can work around the problem.

I would like forms in my application to handle these card swipes. To this end, I've made a base Form that sets KeypPeview=true, and that overrides the ProcessDialogKey method. The Bug: ========== This setup works well, except in a few circumestances. One common circumstance is if I have buttons with shortcuts (e.g. a button whose Text attribute is "&add member". Here "a" is a shortcut. I have noticed that if any button on the form has the focus, then "a" is consumed by the button and does not make it to ProcessDialogKey. If something else (like a listbox) has the focus, then I do receive the key in ProcessDialogKey. Does anyone have a solution, an idea, or a workaround? Thanks in advance!

    - Proxy servers and embedded windows control in IE Hi there, I have a windows control embedded in a web page using the <object> tag. The control sometimes needs to access an aspx page using HttpWebRequest/Response (aspx page is located on the same web server that the .dll file is located in). This works perfectly when the client is not connecting through a proxy server. When the client is connected to the web via a proxy server, myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse() would fail with a 407 Authentication Required. I realize that any HttpWebRequest object has a Proxy property, but whenever I tried to access it I got a SecurityException (Request for type WebPermission failed). So to temporarily get past this problem, I gave the dll FullTrust for my computer. Now no exception is thrown when I try to access the Proxy property. New problem. I got the proxy information using GetDefaultProxy(). It is able to grab the address for the proxy server because I was able to do MessageBox.Show(proxyObject.Address.ToString()). So I *assume* I have the proxy information. However, when I try to do a myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse(), I still get a 407 Authorization required error. There does not seem to be any login/password for the proxy server... or if there is, I don't know how to find it. So is the cause of the problem because the proxy server thinks that whatever is running the dll (I assume the JIT compiler or whatever) is trying to access the proxy server? Or if not, what is the problem and how do I go about fixing it? Thanks, Wendy Tag: Toolbar buttons are not functioning Tag: 73658

    - adding a control to a form I converted a VB6 control to .NET using aximp. The converted control can be added to the toolbox. However, when I tried to add the control onto a form, VS throws the following error: "The .NET assembly 'Name.Interop.mycontrol' could not be found". Nevertheless, the converted control will be successfully added to the form in the second trial. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Tag: Toolbar buttons are not functioning Tag: 73657

    - Form scrolling problem I have a child form that has autoscroll set to true. However, when the mdi parent is maximized and the child form is maximized, no scroll bars appear, even though there is more controls and data below the visible area. Is there a way to scroll the child form and/or the mdi parent when both are maximized? Thanks for any help. Bernie Yaeger Tag: Toolbar buttons are not functioning Tag: 73655

    - Forms question (.) I've created a custom control. And now I've done something that prevents me from using the designer to layout controls on my custom control. I tried deleting the .resx file, thinking the VS would just regenerate it, but did not. Here's how I got the problem: I created a new user control. I called it BaseControl. I created another new user control. I called it DerivedControl. After VS generated the .cs file, I changed the base class to BaseControl. EG: public class BaseControl : System.Windows.Forms.Control public class DerivedControl : BaseControl Now I am unable to add controls to DerivedControl using the designer. I have to manually create the code in .cs file. This gets really hard to lay things out. So, what I can do so that I can use the designer?

    - Change Cursor over ActiveX control Hello, I am trying to build a form that can display HTML content in the background and various controls in the foreground. I am able to achieve this using the WebBrowser activex and adding foreground controls to the form. So far everything is ok. My problem is that I want to control the Cursor over the controls and the background. Since the WebBroser (my background) is an activex, I cannot control it's cursor! I had also problems in this configuration with mouse events, but thanks to you guys that one is now solved with IMessageFilter. So my question is: How can I control the cursor shape over an ActiveX control? Thanks Tag: Toolbar buttons are not functioning Tag: 73651

    - Problem: HowTo update UI from workerThread? Hi! I want to update an userinterface from a background thread. I think that a good way to do this is to use to use methodinvoker in UI-thread and then begininvoke in workerThread to pass parameters back and update the UI. But i have one question. The Method i start with begininvoke is a public sub on another class (not the UI-class). Do I have to pass the form (like a reference) to the other class which the workerthread uses to be able to use it´s begininvoke method? Is this a good way to do this. Here is my code: Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form #Region " Windows Form Designer generated code " ' Some code Me.Label1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Label ' Some more code #End Region Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim workerThread As New MyWorkerClass Dim mi As MethodInvoker = New MethodInvoker(AddressOf workerThread.StartWork) mi.BeginInvoke(Nothing, Nothing) End Sub Public Sub UpdateLabel(ByVal o As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim myEvent As MyLabelEvent = CType(e, MyLabelEvent) Label1.Text = e.LabelText() End Sub End Class Public Class MyWorkerClass Public Sub StartWork() Dim e As System.EventArgs While True e = New MyLabelEvent("Text on label") Dim lst As Object() = {Me, e} ???.BeginInvoke(New System.EventHandler(AddressOf ???.UpdateLabel), lst) DoSomeWork() End While End Sub Public Sub DoSomeWork() End Sub End Class Public Class MyLabelEvent Inherits System.EventArgs Private _labelText As String Public Sub New(ByVal label As String) MyBase.New() _labelText = label End Sub Public Property LabelText() As String Get Return _labelText End Get Set(ByVal Value As String) _labelText = Value End Set End Property End Class Best Regards / Steve Tag: Toolbar buttons are not functioning Tag: 73637
