    - What is the proper way to terminate your MDI app and allow user abort of close Hi, I am wondering what is the proper way to terminate an MDI app that has "dirty" forms. In my case, the child form is editing some data. If the user presses the "X" button on the main form, the code I have is parent_Closing (...) handles MyBase.Closing Application.Exit() End Sub When the Application.Exit()ethod runs it causes the the closing event to run in the child form. The chid's Closing event brings up a dialog that display a message about lossing your changes and gives the user the options to Save changes and close, abandon changes, or cancel the close. If they select the cancel close method, e.cancel is set to True. I assumed that this would cause the Application.Exit to cancel, but it apparently does not. So the question is what is the proper way to give the user a chance to abort the close? Thanks, Jerry Tag: UpDownBase.Dispose does not disconnect Tag: 56348

    - Application PlugIn with Interface Hi, I'm creating an application that has a Tab control. I would like to create a series of plug-in DLL's which will make up each tab. The class for each tab inherits the Tab control, and implements an interface so I can recognize it...I've gotten that far... My problem, is that I need to be able to get the controls that are defined in the DLL, to the application. So, If someone codes a button in the DLL, it will show up in the tab control on my app once I add the tab that is defined by the class...my problem is how can I get the onClick even to get passed from my application, to the DLL?

    - Acceptbutton does not work in usercontrols. If you have buttons on a form and you tab around when a button gets focus it automatically gets highlighted. That is the forms AcceptButton changes to the currently focused button. However when you have a usercontrol with a few buttons in it and you tab around in there when the button gets focus it does not automatically get highligthed. You can press Spacebar to activate but that is not desired behaviour. Dont want to handle leave and enter events on all buttons just because they are in a usercontrol to get them highlighted.

    - odd Bindings Hello: I first put the code and then I'll comment it: ... somewhere in Form_Load ... Binding binding = new Binding("Value", myTableDataView, "StartupDate"); binding.Format = new ConvertEventHandler(StartupDateBinding_Format); StartupDateDateTimePicker.DataBindings.Add(binding); ... private void StartupDateBinding_Format(object sender, ConvertEventArgs e) { if (e.Value == null || e.Value == DBNull.Value) e.Value = new DateTime(2003, 1, 1); } ... The problem comes when I do: ((CurrencyManager)BindingContext[myTableDataView]).AddNew(); The StartupDateBinding_Format method is not called, and an exception is thrown which says "DataBinding could not find a row in the list that is suitable for all bindings". It couldn't find a row suitable for all bindings, because my StartupDateBinding_Format method has not been called, and it cannot set the DateTime Value property of a DateTimePicker object to null or DBNull. And also I'm having trouble creating my own editor control: public class DateTimeEditBox : System.Windows.Forms.TextBox { private DateTime _value; public DateTimeEditBox() { DataBindings.CollectionChanged += new CollectionChangeEventHandler(DataBindings_CollectionChanged); } public DateTime Value { get { return _value; } set { if (value == _value) return; _value = value; ... if (ValueChanged != null) ValueChanged(this, EventArgs.Empty); } } public event EventHandler ValueChanged; private void DataBindings_CollectionChanged(object sender, CollectionChangeEventArgs e) { if (e.Action == CollectionChangeAction.Add) ((Binding)e.Element).Format += new ConvertEventHandler(Binding_Format); } private void Binding_Format(object sender, ConvertEventArgs e) { if (e.Value == null || e.Value == DBNull.Value) e.Value = new DateTime(2003, 1, 1); } } Well this control has the Format event handler embedded so I don't need to do a "binding.Format = new ConvertEventHandler(StartupDateBinding_Format);", but it's the same. But surprisingly this time the Binding_Format method is called and it works fine. But... when I change the Value property, the value in the bounded row doesn't change, even when I'm raising ValueChanged. And I checked that when I raise ValueChanged there is one method listening (ValueChanged is not null), which is the handler method generated by the Binding. No exception is thrown, nothing. And it should work because the column which I bound is a DateTime DataColumn. Why all this strange behavior? Maybe the bindings have problems with value/reference types? Or am I doing something wrong (I don't think so, but...)? By the way, I'm using Visual Studio .NET 2003 / .NET Framework 1.1. Thank you in advance.

    - Building a combo box - can't get listbox to draw outside the form Hi all, I'm struggling with something I thought would be simple. I need to build a combo box from scratch as I need to do more alterations than an owner draw combo box will allow. I was always told a combo box was just a textbox and a listbox. Well, that's fine but the listbox is bound by the clipping region of the form. Thus if the combo is positioned near the bottom of the form, the listbox gets chopped off. I've tried creating a form for the listbox to sit on, and then move both to the relevant location. This is still buggy though as when you click in the listbox, the host form loses focus - and I also suspect creating a whole form just for this feature is not very efficient. There must be a way surely to do this in .NET through GDI+ or something. Essentially all I want is to fool .NET into drawing the listbox where I specify on the screen, without being bound by a forms drawing area. Any ideas?

    - Feature request: a better RichTextBox In the past two days, I've run up against several major limitations with the Framework RichTextBox (I'm sure there are others): 1. There's no Framework way to assign custom borders, and the FlatStyle border doesn't work properly (it draws a flat border around a 3D border -- go figure.) Your only option is the 3D border, which looks very dated and clashes with the Win XP styles. You can't even draw a custom border by handling the OnPaint event, because doing so prevents the text from displaying. The only alternatives are various API hacks and complex Framework workarounds. 2. The RichTextBox doesn't allow for embedding "helper" URL's, in which a friendly name or phrase is underlined instead of a URL. (Something that both the LinkLabel control and the underlying CRichEditCtrl20 control can do.) 3. There's no Framework method to prevent the RichTextBox from receiving the focus and displaying a caret. There are only clunky workarounds, none of which really works. (Disabling the RTF box, which changes its background color and (AFAIK) prevents the user from interacting with the scrollbars, using the NoCaret API, which must be resent frequently because it won't "stick", or programmatically changing the focus whenever the RTF box receives the focus.) This inflexibility makes using the RichTextBox a bit like buying a Model T Ford -- "you can have any color, as long as it's black." It seems very unlike the other Framework controls, which tend to be much more flexible and robust. Does Microsoft have any plans to improve the RichTextBox with Whidbey? If not, could the Whidbey team please consider this? Many thanks, Robert Jacobson Tag: UpDownBase.Dispose does not disconnect Tag: 56285

    - Overlapping panels Hi, I have a form. On the form's client area I place a panel control.The form is panel's parent. I create buttons and place them on the panel. The panel is parent of the buttons. I create second panel and place it on the first panel. The problem is that the buttons of the first panel are visible and operative, popping through the second panel. I can hide the buttons programatically but shouldn't they disappear by themselves after a new control is placed on them (or their parent)?

Basically, our form is up, we call a simple msgbox, and 97 times out of 100 it pops up exactly right. 3 times out of 100 it pops up behind the app. It panics the user, as they can no longer click on the app. They must minimize the app, click on the dialog, then restore the app. We have tried "MsgBoxStyle.MsgBoxSetForeground" and "MsgBoxStyle.ApplicationModal" to no avail...

    - Troubleshoot Possible Memory/Slowdown Problems We have rolled out an app, and are experiencing complete application and system slowdown as users open and close windows forms in our app throughout the day. It usually happens about 50 or so form opening/closing cycles. If the user notices the app is slowing down, and they exit the app then go back in, it works fine for another 50 or so open/closes. If they keep pushing it, and go another 20-30 times, it will eventually be so slow the form takes 2-3 minutes to redraw, and will eventually lock their PC, forcing a reboot. The forms do have quite a few controls on them. They do talk to a database, but not using bound forms, and the data access is pretty small. We have tried setting all objects to nothing at the end of all procedures, doing GC.Collect, other things, but can't quite nail it down... The client machines are all WinXP SP1, P4 2.XGhz, 512MB RAM or better. Version 1.0 of the framework, VS2002. Any ideas on troubleshooting this? Is there a specific memory counter somewhere I can monitor or display on the form, so I can see if it goes down? The task manager memory for the app grows and grows, but I understand that may not be a real accurate gauge of memory usage. Thanks! Tag: UpDownBase.Dispose does not disconnect Tag: 56274

    - Moving a control on form with mouse event? I am new to VB.Net and have done a little VB3 &4. Whith the advent of the Net aspect oto OOP I would like to use a standard winform that a user can do several things. 1. Place predetermined line shapes on the form and save their location with the closing of the form. 2. I would like to add a saveable text/label control that is movable around the form with the mouse. In other words I wlll want to drag the control from one spot on the form to another location. Preferable the locations will dock to the line image drawing on the form back ground. Is this a simple matter or is it very complex? Thanks for any thoughts or ideas to try. Dazed and confused but loving the challange just the same.

    - Problem showing records in Columnar view I've been using dotNet for some time now and understand the basic concepts of data binding using datasets and DataViews. However, I am experiencing an odd behaviour in my program which I would like to explain below in plain English first. I can post the code later on if required. Please be patient with me as I try to explain my problem. It's been haunting me for days. First the basics ... I am using VB.Net with an MS Access database in the backend. I am using OleDbDataAdapter to populate my dataset. Also, there are no 3rd party controls being used. My Access database contains 2 tables - qMaster and qVersion. For the sake of simplicity, let's say that each record in the qMaster table can have anywhere upto 9 records (I'll call them Versions from now on) in the qVersion table. The key field in "qMaster" is [QuoteNo] and the key fields in "qVersion" are [QuoteNo] and [QuoteVr]. "qMaster" and "qVersion" are linked to each other via [QuoteNo]. I am able to create the OleDbDataAdapter, populate it with data from my tables and fill the DataSet with no problems at all. The problems start thereafter ... Here comes the first problem ... I would like to display all 9 versions (records) side-by-side as columns just like you would see in a spreadsheet, instead of showing them down the rows (for which I could have easily used a DataGrid). To achieve this goal, I created 9 DataViews against the DataSet where the RowFilter for each DataView is set to "QuoteVr=1", "QuoteVr=2", ... and so on. I've created a User Control with assorted text boxes (let's say 10 in total) in it for each of the fields in the "qVersion" table plus some extra calculated ones. I copied the UserControl 9 times onto my form and DataBound each UserControl to a different DataView. I've already created properties for each of the fields/textBoxes in the User Control so I can assign values and perform DataBindings easily. These 9 UserControls are sitting on the first TabPage of a TabControl on my form. On the second TabPage of the TabControl, I then went ahead and created 10 textBoxes same as what I did in the UserControl. These 10 boxes on the second TabPage are bound directly to the DataSet, so that I can navigate through the DataSet using the DataBinding's Position property. I am then capturing the "Enter" event of the UserControl (which is data-bound to the DataView) to determine which Version it is bound to and automatically navigate to the desired record on the second TabPage by setting the DataBinding's Position to the desired record position. So far so good. (Just as an aside - is this the best way to achieve my goal or is there an easier way to do it, i.e. display records as columns! I do not consider myself an expert and any help would be greatly appreciated). The problem starts when I start updating my textboxes. If I do any direct input into any of the textBoxes either within the UserControl on the first tabPage (bound to DataViews) or to the textBoxes on the second tabPage (bound directly to the DataSet), the values change properly between the two tabPages. However, anywhere that I use textBoxes to display calculated values end up behaving oddly. The calculated values show up properly on the 2nd tabPage (bound to DataSet directly) but when I hit the Update button, here is what it does ... it will go ahead and save any changed data that was directly input in the textBoxes but will not update any of the calculated textBox values. I know common logic dictates that you do not need to save any calculated values back in the database as you can recalculate these on-the-fly. However, my application demands this for other reasons. Also if I were to switch between the 2 tabPages I would loose all my calculated values, but not the ones directly entered. That's funny - I don't know how to explain this. Say I had to work with 3 fields only, 2 input and 1 output - and initially the 2 input fields show the values 2 and 3 and the output box (which just adds the 2 numbers) shows 5. Now if I change 2 to 4, the output box correctly shows 7 on the 2nd tabPage but if I switch to the 1st tabPage it reverts back to 5, but the input boxes are still showing 4 and 3. If I save the value 4 is correctly updated but the calculated value is not. I'm at a total loss here. I've tried using EndCurrentEdit but to no avail. I am guessing it has something to do with the CurrencyManager but don't know what to do. Please help. Regards - Behram Tag: UpDownBase.Dispose does not disconnect Tag: 56267

    - databinding not working for lookup combobox, please help! I'm having the worst time trying to get a combobox to synchronize with a datagrid. I have two tables: Products and ProductLines. One of the fields in the Products table is ProductLineID. I want a form that displays a datagrid showing the Products, and a separate combobox down-down control that shows the available product lines from the table of that name. When the user selects a row in the grid, I want the combobox to update with the correct value, and when the combobox is changed, I want the data for the selected row in the datagrid to update. Sounds easy, and I can get textbox databinding to work like a charm. I followed instructions from a Microsoft article on doing this combobox lookup, but it didn't work. This code runs when the form loads: SqlDataAdapter1.Fill(DataSet11) SqlDataAdapter2.Fill(DataSet11) DataSet11.Relations.Add(New DataRelation("Relation1", _ DataSet11.ProductLines.ProductLineIDColumn, _ DataSet11.Products.ProductLineIDColumn)) For the combobox, I set these properties in the Properties window: DataSource = DataSet11.ProductLines DisplayMember = ProductLineName ValueMember = ProductLineID I set the value member to the ProductLineID because I want to store the ID in the Products table, not the name text. Under the (DataBindings) section, it now reads: SelectedValue = DataSet11 - Products.ProductLineID When I run this simple app, the datagrid works fine. The combobox populates with all of the product lines, but when I select a product in the datagrid that has a different product line, the combobox doesn't update; and when I change the selection in the combobox, the ProductLineID field in the datagrid doesn't change.

    - Re: Hot Key problems in MDI child forms I had the same problem and was able to get the following work around from Microsoft. The problem is that Winforms bubbles ProcessDialogChar up to the top level window, which in this case, is the MdiContainer. To work around the bug, you need to override the ProcessDialogChar method of the MDI child forms like the following: Protected Overrides Function ProcessDialogChar(ByVal charCode As Char) As Boolean If charCode <> " "c And ProcessMnemonic(charCode) Then Return True End If Return False ' Nmemonic is unhandled, Do not call base to bubble up to MDI container End Function 'ProcessDialogChar HTH, Don Worthley The Main Thing is to keep the Main Thing the Main Thing Anybody else seen this weird (wrong) behavior: This is a simplified explanation of the behavior in my app... MDI child form (call it form A) has a hot key assigned (say, for example, a command button that says 'Message', hot key on the M (text = &Message) which just displays a message box, and another button which opens a second MDI child form (call it form B). That all seems normal - here's where the app is behaving badly: 1) Open form A. 2) from form A, open form B 3) when B has focus, press Alt-M You will see that the hot key will be processed by form A, which DOES NOT HAVE THE FOCUS!!!! Not sure if this behavior is specific to MDI children forms and some sequence of opening them, but it should not function like that. Is this behavior actually something that I need to write code to trap? anybody else seen this? can you reproduce it? Tag: UpDownBase.Dispose does not disconnect Tag: 56248

    - Controls don't overlap on design form, but do at runtime I left a Microsft DevDays some months ago with the idea that if you anchored all of your controls to all four sides, then the screen would size up proportionally when the form was maximized or made larger. My current test form most emphatically does not do this - controls overlap on each other in a most ugly fashion. My scroll bar next to a multi line text box ends up half the width of the screen. The data grid on the top half and the edit box on the bottom half both expand to well over half the screen. Does anybody have any ideas on how to make a form size up gracefully?

I also need to make sure that only one instance of this form is opened at a time. Can anyone offer help? Thanks, Nate Tag: UpDownBase.Dispose does not disconnect Tag: 56235

    - Newbie question/gripe I'm in my first couple hours with .NET 2003. I created a C++ project and started working on a Windows Form. Should .NET not be totally inappropriate to my purposes, I'll gradually start migrating a monolithic/Client Server app (currently using ADO) to it. On my first attempt to run my form I got a browser with a message that I should change the Web Services namespace for my project. My reaction was "What the h*ll are you doing in my face?". I intentionally chose Windows Forms over Web Forms because I don't want to run in a browser or over the web. I sure didn't get the form I had designed. What should I do to write applications that don't try to invoke HTTP without my permission and simply work on the machine they are running on?

    - VB.NET Rich Text Box control ( RichTextBox ) - adding custom hyperlinks Hello! What I want to do is be able to set a piece of text in the rich text box control so that it has a 'link' style. Then, whenever this piece of text is clicked on, the LinkClicked event is raised. In other words, I want the behaviour of a hyperlink without having to show the full url. Is this possible without having to manually change and detect the font styles myself? Thanks! Al. Tag: UpDownBase.Dispose does not disconnect Tag: 56230

    - RichTextBox SelectionFont Issue When you select text in the RTF editor (C# code) that has different styles of font (i.e. part of the test is bolded and part is underlined) the selectionfont property is set to null. Is there any other way we can access all the available style for the selected text? Thanks Joseph Tag: UpDownBase.Dispose does not disconnect Tag: 56227

    - invoking on UI thread I understand the notion that a UI thread should be responsible for managing the UI elements; therefore, worker threads need to call invoke on a control. I don't understand the technical reason for this. What is it about the Win32 message loop that doesn't like worker threads to update the UI and why does it work anyway (at least most of the time)?

    - Unloadable Control Is it possible to implement a control that can be loaded into, and later unloaded from current the process when it is no longer needed? I've been able to do this with other classes by subclassing MarshalByRefObject, putting it in it's own assembly, and loading it into its own AppDomain (which can later be unloaded). But as far as I can tell, this isn't as easy with a System.Windows.Form.Control descendant (even though they descend from MarshalByRefObject). The first problem I've run into is that as soon as I try to use the control (which was created in a different AppDomain), I get a SerializationException because the ControlCollection class (of the parent) is not a descendant of MarshalByRefObject (or serializable). Apparantly, controls need to reference that collection in some way, when they are added to the parent (which is in the original AppDomain in this situation). So my question is, is there some way to implement an unloadable control, where all it's code is in an assembly that can be loaded-into/unloaded-from the process? There may be workarounds, like just making the code behind the control's events unloadable, and not the control itself. But for my purposes, the control wouldn't be generic enough for something like that. A good analagy would be a user control for implementing a propery sheet. Any ideas? -Ethan Tag: UpDownBase.Dispose does not disconnect Tag: 56225

    - Rich Text Box control ( RichTextBox ) Drag and Drop problem Hello! I have tried a few things to get drag and drop to work in the rich text box control. The best example I have come across is point 22.3 of: http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/WinForms/FAQ_c89c.asp#q572q However, there is a slight problem in that the drag and drop does not work if the *very first* drag and drop operation you do is from within the control itself (i.e. dragging from and dropping into the control). The drop cursor changes to the 'prevent drop' cursor (/). After this first attempt though, drag and drop works fine! Can anybody help? Even the MSDN help isn't useful (to be honest it just doesn't work - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;814309) Thanks, Al. Tag: UpDownBase.Dispose does not disconnect Tag: 56224

    - Drag and Drop between ListView and TreeView.?! I've got a treeview and listview program which i would like to add a drag and drop utility to it. i've managed to drag and drop items from the treeview to the listview, from the treeview to itself. but i cudn't do the same from the listview to the treeview.?!! i would like to be able to drag and drop items/nodes from both to either one of them and update the data automatically and refresh the controls. I don't know how to do this and i've got a very short time to do it. Any help, examples or comments would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance. Regards, Kam The treeview looks like: Level1 --Level2 ---Level3 and the code i've developed is as follows: //----------------------------------------------------- private void treeView1_ItemDrag(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs e) { treeView1.DoDragDrop (e.Item, DragDropEffects.Move); } private void listView1_DragEnter(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e) { if (e.Data.GetDataPresent (typeof (TreeNode))) e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move; //All or Copy (try) } private void listView1_DragDrop(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e) { if (e.Data.GetDataPresent (typeof (TreeNode))) { TreeNode tn = (TreeNode) e.Data.GetData (typeof (TreeNode)); listView1.Items.Add (tn.Text, tn.ImageIndex); treeView1.Nodes.Remove (tn); } } private void listView1_ItemDrag(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs e) { listView1.DoDragDrop (e.Item, DragDropEffects.Move); } private void treeView1_DragEnter(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e) { e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move; } private void treeView1_DragDrop(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e) { TreeNode NewNode; if(e.Data.GetDataPresent("System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode", false)) { Point pt = ((TreeView)sender).PointToClient(new Point(e.X, e.Y)); TreeNode DestinationNode = ((TreeView)sender).GetNodeAt(pt); NewNode = (TreeNode)e.Data.GetData("System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode"); if(DestinationNode!= NewNode) { DestinationNode.Nodes.Add((TreeNode) NewNode.Clone()); DestinationNode.Expand(); //Remove Original Node NewNode.Remove(); } } } //--------------------------------------------------- Tag: UpDownBase.Dispose does not disconnect Tag: 56216

I'm using .NET version 1.0. In my C# project I have a
NumericUpDown control with the ValueChanged event
handled. Calling the Dispose method does not disconnect
this event (as it appears to do for other control
events). The result is that the garbage collector won't
get rid of my form nor its contents, which my users see
as a memory leak.

Disconnecting the event manually (in my form's Dispose
method) seems to be a suitable workaround. I've read on
other sites that this problem exists with both
NumericUpDown and DomainUpDown controls, which derive
from UpDownBase.

Does anyone know if this is fixed in .NET 1.1?
Has this problem been documented by Microsoft? Can you
tell me where?

thanks
