    - 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: UIPAB - OpenFileDialog 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: UIPAB - OpenFileDialog 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: UIPAB - OpenFileDialog Tag: 92365

See the following example: //get the IHTMLDocument2 mshtml.IHTMLDocument2 htmlDoc = axWebBrowser1.Document as mshtml.IHTMLDocument2; if ( htmlDoc != null ) { // get the input item elemnet HTMLInputTextElement input = (HTMLInputTextElement) htmlDoc .all.item("id1", null); if ( input != null ) { // register eventhandler ((HTMLInputTextElementEvents2_Event)input).onclick += new HTMLInputTextElementEvents2_onclickEventHandler( this.Text_EventHandler ); } } private bool HTML_EventHandler(mshtml.IHTMLEventObj e) { MessageBox.Show("Alert from the html:text event" ); return true; } It is possible to register the appropriate event handler, but it is never called !!! But it works when i register an event handler for the click-event, see the following example. // register eventhandler ((HTMLInputTextElementEvents2_Event)input).onchange += new HTMLInputTextElementEvents2_onchangeEventHandler( this.Text_EventHandler ); Is there a different and working approach to catch these events?

    - 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: UIPAB - OpenFileDialog 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: UIPAB - OpenFileDialog 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: UIPAB - OpenFileDialog Tag: 92315

The solution contains eight library projects, one GUI control project and one Windows Form project. I know how to approach SA for library projects, but I do not have any idea how to do it for Windows Forms and Controls. Should I use Localizable properties on every win form and win control that I create and copy resource files associated with form/control to SA? Or should I just create resource file in SA with the exact name as the resx files of form/control? Which approach is better? Or maybe there is another, different approach that I should consider? 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: UIPAB - OpenFileDialog Tag: 92237

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: UIPAB - OpenFileDialog 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: UIPAB - OpenFileDialog Tag: 92226

    - Installing Merge Modules from C# Windows Form Application (not using a setup and deployment project) Installing Merge Modules from C# Windows Form Application (not using a setup and deployment project) Hi, Currently, we have an InstallShield project that creates a setup.exe that only installs 20 or so merge modules. It does nothing else. We then have our own custom, C# Windows Form application that installs our software applications. It does this by copying files, creating registry keys, etc. So what I'm trying to do is get rid of the separate InstallShield setup.exe. We want one setup application that installs both the merge modules we need and our software applications. Is there any way to run/install merge modules from a C# Windows Form application? We are not and cannot use a Setup and Deployment Project to do this. Thanks. Tag: UIPAB - OpenFileDialog Tag: 92216

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
