 - 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: VB.NET Rich Text Box control ( RichTextBox ) - adding custom hyperlinks 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.

 - 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.

 - Strange ComboBox Binding Behaviour I am trying to bind multiple comboboxes here to the same datasource. I see a strange behaviour with reference to the time when the ComboBox actually gets its Items Collection populated. I am putting my Code in here. 2 functions (implementing the same functionality) which give me variable results. To give an idea what i am trying to achieve: I am developing a new Container Control (extending Panel)(i call it DataWindow) which supports a Grid as well as Free-Form layout. //----------- MY CODE--------------// // This Works Correctly // Gets called for the Free-Form as well as Grid Layout protected virtual void e_ComboBoxRetrieved() { // dwComboControl is a Class that stores information about // a single ComboBox Control placed on the DataWindow dwComboControl dwc; // icol_ComboControls is a custom collection of dwComboControl. // Thus a collection of all the ComboControlsthat the developer // may have placed on the DataWindow int i_ComboCount = this.icol_ComboControls.Count; ComboBox cb; DataTable dt; for(int i = 0; i < i_ComboCount; i++) { dwc = this.icol_ComboControls[i]; dt = DataUtil.GetDataTable(dwc.ComboSql); // if the layout is FreeForm, then bind the ComboBox if(this.dwLayout == dwLayoutType.FreeForm) { cb = dwc.ControlRef; cb.DataSource = dt; cb.DisplayMember = dwc.ComboDisplayCol; cb.ValueMember = dwc.ComboDataCol; // I Get the correct result of here. // ie. cb.Items.Count == dt.Rows.Count MessageBox.Show(cb.Name + " : " + cb.Items.Count.ToString() + " Rows : " + dt.Rows.Count.ToString() ); } else // Do not bind the ComboBox, just set the // reference of the retrieved DataTable to // dwComboControl's idt (instance DataTable) { dwc.idt = dt; } } } // Gets Called for Each Row retrieved in the Grid // I have used reflection here and replicated the controls // placed by the Developer during Design-Time into a new // Panel which is passed as a reference here. private void f_BindComboBox(dwDetailPanel adp) { ComboBox cb; dwComboControl dwc; // ie. for each ComboBox actually placed by the Developer // for a Single Row int i_ComboCount = this.icol_ComboControls.Count; for(int i = 0; i < i_ComboCount; i++) { dwc = this.icol_ComboControls[i]; // Get a Copy of DataTable to which this ComboBox is to // be Bound. Doing this to save Database trips for // binding ComboBox's for each row. // dwc.idt has been populated earlier in e_ComboBoxRetrieved() DataTable dt = dwc.idt.Copy(); // Get the Instance of ComboBox in the Current Panel cb = (ComboBox)adp.icol_ChildControls.GetControl(dwc.Name); // icol_ChildControls is a custom Collection (with a // HashTable implementaion). It is a collection of All // the controls placed on the Detail Panel cb.DataSource = dt; cb.DisplayMember = dwc.ComboDisplayCol; cb.ValueMember = dwc.ComboDataCol; // This is where i see inconsistent behaviour // ie. cb.Items.Count is 0 // dt.Rows.Count gives a correct Figure. MessageBox.Show(cb.Name + " : " + cb.Items.Count.ToString() + " Rows : " + dt.Rows.Count.ToString() ); } } //----------------------------------------------------------------// Further more, when my DataWindow (Grid) finally gets displayed, I find that all the ComboBox's in all the Rows retrieved do display the Bound Data correctly. The problem for me is, after each DetailPanel is created for each row retrieved for the Grid DataWindow, I have to set the ComboBox.SelectedValue to the value in the DataBase. When i go to do that, i find out that there are no Items in the ComboBox. This is how the events have been organised in my Control For Each DataRow 1) Create Host DetailPanel for the Row 2) Replicate all the ChildControls for the Row (using reflection) 3) Bind ComboBox's on the new DetailPanel 4) Set values of the Current Row in the DetailPanel End For I have double checked that these two functions are the only place where anything related to ComboBox is happening in my application. Anyone who is aware of such problems / has any idea why is this happening / any solution. Help is appreciated. -Snehal Tag: VB.NET Rich Text Box control ( RichTextBox ) - adding custom hyperlinks Tag: 56200

 - Print with feed tractor laserjet and customized papersize Hi, I have a problem with a laser feed tractor printer, paper size is 8.3 X 11 inc.. For print in windows xp home from a c# application i use a custom paper size added at the printer server properties. The problem is that i have to print a value near bottom margin (sheets are pre-printed), but if i use custom papersize this value will not printed, i think because there is a bottom margin, but in my custom paper size i have set all margins to 0.00 . Is there any solution? Is teher any way to set bottom margin to 0 (is a feed tractor printer!)? If i set custom paper size more height the bottom value is printer but the printer don't stop exacly at the end of the sheet, and the next print begin with a bigger upper margin. Also: - how can i user c# to add a custom print from to SO? - i have to use a print from, or i can simply use c# code to specify custom paper size? - how set printer papersize and papersource from c#?

 - MDI Child Form Not Releasing DataSet I have an application that creates MDI child windows to edit different datatables in the same dataset. At one point in the application cycle, users have the opportunity to log off the database server (so they can reconnect to a different one). As part of that log off, I clear the dataset. Unfortunately, if an MDI child form has been opened and then closed, the datatable for that form hangs on the clear (i.e., aDataTable.Clear() stalls forever). This problem does not occur if that table's form has not been opened and closed. This seems to be a problem where the MDI child form, while "closed", is still maintaining a reference to the datatable (probably through databinding?). How do I get rid of this reference so that datatable can be cleared? I've tried setting the MDIParent property of the MDIChild form to null in an event handler for the MDIParent form that watches for MDIChild Close events, followed by a call to MDIChild.Dispose(). Unfortunately, that does't solve the problem. Any leads or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. - Mark p.s. BTW, this is looks to be the second "silent failure" of the NET Framework I've come across in the past week (the first had to do with the way the Framework's handling of DBNull values for bound DateTimePicker controls breaks the BindingContext.Position code, with no outward sign of a problem). I'm beginning to think the NET Framework design team didn't take enough advantage of exception handling in developing the Framework.

 - automatic code generation I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but it has to do with the automatic code generation of a WinForm for the Compact Framework. Anyway, I thought I'd report an issue I've been having. I subclass a control to define my own button class that can draw custom images (since the CF does not permit this as is). Anyway, to add it to my winForm, I manually add it in among the automatically generated code, adding it to the proper tab control, etc. I build it, run it, and it works fine. Sometimes if I then hide the automatically generated code (w/ my newly added code interspersed) and proceed to edit the WinForm through the GUI interface provided in VS .NET 2003 C#, at some point, the code I intertwined w/ the automatically generated code disappears. I haven't nailed down the exact procedure that causes the problem b/c each test I have to re-write the inter-mixed code. Right now it isn't a big deal for me, but in the future it might become an issue. I suspect that at some point, the compiler may be re-generating the automatically generated code but doesn't realize I've edited it? Oh, and before it removes the code, an error might pop up saying my class is uninitialized, but if I build my project, it sees that it is initialized (among the auto-gen code) and builds fine.

 - Alternative to TransparencyKey property? Hi, I'm trying to convert an application from C++ to CSharp. Under C++ I used the SetLayeredWindowAttributes() API to make parts of my form transparent. Now in CSharp, I was trying the forms TransparencyKey property. However, it doesn't work on my system with 32bit display and I found this confirmed by other posts on this topic. I asked myself if I could avoid this problem by dllimport-ing the API function. I'm very new to CSharp and Dotnet and could not get it working, yet. I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me what is wrong in the following code: //the original function signature /* BOOL SetLayeredWindowAttributes(HWND hwnd, COLORREF crKey, BYTE bAlpha, DWORD dwFlags ); */ //define the key constant private const int LWA_COLORKEY = 0x00000001; [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError=true)] public static extern int SetLayeredWindowAttributes(int hwnd, int cKey, byte bAlpha, int dwFlags); //in the forms constructor int ret = SetLayeredWindowAttributes(this.Handle.ToInt32(), 0x00FFFFFF, 0, LWA_COLORKEY); if(ret == 0) { try { throw new Win32Exception(); } catch(Exception err) { MessageBox.Show(err.Message); } } thanks for any ideas, Nick Tag: VB.NET Rich Text Box control ( RichTextBox ) - adding custom hyperlinks Tag: 56177

 - Mouse Events in Nested Controls Hi all, I am wondering what the "normal" behavior for mouse events(click,down, etc..) within nested controls is. Do the mouse events fire for the container control and the child control if you click on the child control? Or only the child control? or only the parent control? The reason I am asking is because I have a Panel which has many child Panels within it. When I hook up a mouse event (mousedown,click) to the parent, it does not fire when I click on the child control. I was hoping it would fire so I could use GetChildAtPoint to access the child control. The event DID fire when I clicked on part of the panel without a child control. I then opted to hook up the mousedown event inside my child control and simply have it act upon the parent control to do the work. Unfortunately, the event does not fire here either!? Am I missing something? Is there a property that must be set correctly to make this work? Thx in advance, Cole Tag: VB.NET Rich Text Box control ( RichTextBox ) - adding custom hyperlinks Tag: 56176

 - DataGrid and unbound text boxes I'm building a VB.Net Windows form application. I have a DataGrid and 5 unbound textboxes on a form. The DataGrid is populated with a OleDbDataAdapter and is using a table called Clients. What I want to do is have the users fill in the unbound textboxes and click a button and have those values inserted into the table clients. I will then refresh the datagrid and the new values will appear. I created a New Connection, A New DataSet and A New Select Command to the table Clients. When I Create a datarow like so: Dim drw2 As DataRow drw2 = DataSet1.Tables("tblClients").NewRow I recieve a error " Object reference not set to an instance of an object......" When I look up the error it looks like the new select command I've built is interfering with the one on the OleDbDataAdapter. Does anybody have any workaround ideas?

 - how to set focus on a combobox on a tab when the form is loaded? Hi, I have a form with 3 tabs and each tab has a combobox on it. When the form is loaded, I determine which tab to display based on parameters passed into the form's New() method. When the form is loaded, I would like to place the cursor in the combobox of the selected tab, place some text in the combobox, and highlight the text. However, not only am I unable to get the cursor in the combobox (combo.focus () executes, but does not do it), assigning the text to combo.text does not show the text in the combobox. combo.SelectAll combo.SelectedText = [my text] creates an error, apparently because combo has not been fully loaded yet.

 - Book Suggestions Please! I have had VS7 for about a year now and use C# mainly. The apps that I write are for my own use on the desktop so ASP/Web applications hold little interest for me. I tend to use the Win API a lot still but I suspect that there are better ways. I am looking for book(s) that give details of the various namespaces and the functionality within them (I know it's in the help but I can't read that in the bath) and especially any books that will ease the transition from the API to inbuilt functionality (assuming it's there). Books that show how to use the API for things like shell hooks and how to show the system context menu would be very much of interest. I liked the earlier Petzold books because they gave a complete breakdown of the API and also Appleman's book on VB6 and the API. I have I got Petzold's Programming Windows, Jesse Liberty's Programming C# and Mueller's .NET Framework Solutions. They look good on the face of it but are very basic once you get into them and really add nothing beyond the excellent help system in VS.Net. Any suggestions would be appreciated, those I have searched for usually end up being about writing Web apps rather than Windows Forms apps.

 - How to detect closed form? I have opened form from another form and I have an variable with reference on it. But what if someone close referenced form? I tryed to test an variable on Nothing value but there is still reference on closed form. The questin is: How can I find out that the referenced form is closed. I have two ideas: 1) Exception handling 2) Handle closed event of closed form Is there some better way? And another problem. When a referenced form is closed, I can still run frm.Hide() without throwing exception, but frm.Show() fires exception. Object is closed, so why frm.Hide() doesn't throw the exception too?

 - Toolbar buttons dont' show I just wrote a quick Windows app with some toolbar buttons. In design view, the buttons show up fine, but when I run the app, the toolbar button images don't show up. Is there some simple setting that I am missing? I've tried using both .GIF and .BMP format, and both show up fine in the designer (although the GIF is the only one that has transparency working normally).

 - Printing Problems I am printing several pages. Problem 1: While the printout looks fine on one printer (OKI C9400 PCL) it comes out as gibberish on another one (HP LaserJet 5/5M PostScript) Other Windows applications (such as Word, Excel) print OK to both. Problem 2: If I preview the pages (using any of these printers), the printout looks OK on screen. When printing from the Preview dialog only partial data is printed (same on both printers except for the gibberish). Any ideas?

 - UserControl Load Event Does anyone know of an event that is fired after a UserControl is created regardless of whether it is visible or not. I have a data bound UserControl that needs to populate it's contents when it is loaded at runtime, but not at design time. If i try to load the data in the constructor, the DesignMode property is not set so I can't skip the data loading in the designer. If I handle the Load event, it doesn't fire when the control is first created, only after the parent form is hidden, then re- displayed. Anyone? Anyone?

 - Application slow down Hi there. I have written a kiosk application in C# where the user can browse the internet amongst other things. When there has been no user activity for a while (e.g. half an hour) the application seems to slow down and responds slowly to the next user.

 - listview item looses forecolor Hello All, I have a listview item on listview with the property HideSelection set to False. I set the listview item forecolor to green and set the font to be bold. When the listview loses its focus, the listview item that was selected looses its color (goes back to default black), preserving its boldness. I want to keep the forecolor, even upon lost focus Is this a known bug?? Can anyone help?? Thx Iris Tag: VB.NET Rich Text Box control ( RichTextBox ) - adding custom hyperlinks Tag: 56056

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.

I'm having the same problem, and from searching groups.google.com, the short
answer seems to be "no, you can't do that." The box can only display a full
URL, not a "helper link" that hides the actual URL:

(conplete thread)

Apparently, this is just a limitation of the .Net RichTextBox, not the
underlying CRichEditCtrl20 control. There are some possible workarounds
that involve communicating with CRichEditCtrl20, but I haven't tried these.

(complete thread)

Your other options are to try a third-party RichText control, or the
LinkLabel control (which supports helper links, but not rich text or
automatic scrollbars.) Let me know if you find a better solution.
