    - Issue with messageBox Hi I just fould a issue with MessgeBox. When i show the messagebox in my app. Now if the user click any where else on the form out of messagebox. The click event is kind put in a que. Now if there is a button or other control where that person clicked, the button / control click event is fired after my earlier procedure has finished. Here is how you can duplicate the thing. - Create a windowsform, put a button control on it, - Write a procedure onClick event of button Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.Click MessageBox.show("Test", "Test", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Question, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1, MessageBoxOptions.DefaultDesktopOnly) End Sub - Now Build and run the app - Click the button - {move the Messagebox out of the way, so you can see the button} - click on the button again - now click any button on the Messagebox - {Now here is the problem} you will see the message box again. {message box for second click} can some tell how disable this feature in my app. or work around. i have tried disabling the control and also form before displaying the messagebox but still the same problem. Can anybody help Thanks in advance mk Tag: BUG: WinForms Status Bar Problem on XP Tag: 77945

    - Control validation problem prevents me from tabbing out of a contr I am using simple databinding on a small form with only about 10 controls. My problem is that the _second_ time I open the form and edit a value, I am no longer able to tab or click out of the control that I just changed the value in. Here's what I mean: 1. Open the app 2. Open the Details form (form uses databound values for textboxes, code below) 3. Edit the value in the ItemName textbox 4. Click the OK button to close the form 5. Open the Details form a second time 6. Edit the value in the ItemName textbox Result --> I am now unable to tab out of the ItemName textbox, click OK or do anything but close the form. This appears to be a problem with validation, since I cannot click on any buttons with CausesValidation = true but I can click on buttons with CausesValidation = false. However, none of my controls on the form have an event handler for the Validating event. This happens consistently throughout my application, on both small forms and large forms. I must be doing something incorrectly. Can someone point it out to me? Here's some code: MyDataSet.MyRow row = // a valid row from a typed dataset Inside Form_Load: BindField(ItemName, "Text", row, "ItemName"); public static void BindField(Control control, string propertyName, object dataSource, string dataMember) { Binding binding = control.DataBindings[propertyName]; if (null != binding) control.DataBindings.Remove(binding); control.DataBindings.Add( propertyName, dataSource, dataMember); } -- ---- Doug Perkes Tag: BUG: WinForms Status Bar Problem on XP Tag: 77943

    - How to change the font of the main menu in application window? I am developing a windows forms application using VS.NET in C#. I am using the MDI style. I have a main menu defined with several layers of menu items. I know that I can change the appearance of all menus by changing the Menu property within the advanced appearance of the system display properties. But I only want to change the font size and style of the menu within my application. How can I change the font of the menu only for my application?

    - Annoying! Form Cannot Be Activated Eventually (.NET 1.1) This is so annoying that I have to see if it's happened to anyone else and see if I'm missing something well-known (I am not a WinForms expert). Frequently, my form loses the ability to become active. This happens when I'm debugging with VS.NET 2003 - I've been debugging for a while, so wouldn't know whether it happens outside of the debugger. It happened just now when I maximized the form. It maximized just fine, but changed appearance to look inactive, and in fact was inactive. Clicking on any part of the form doesn't change anything. Mousing over a top-level menu item highlights it, but clicking on it does nothing. Mousing over the Close, Minimize and Maximize buttons highlights them as well, but clicking does nothing. Right-clicking the notification icon shows the correct menu, and I can minimize, maximize and restore. None of those makes the form active. Clicking in the body of the form seems to make the form caption flash briefly, but nothing happens. Now, the one thing I'm doing that's a bit unusual is that I'm hosting several one of several user controls in a panel in the middle of the form. I _did_ have a problem with these. I had meant to remove and Dispose the old user control before adding the new one, but that didn't work: public static void ShowControl(Control control, Control container) { System.Collections.ArrayList disposeList = new System.Collections.ArrayList(); foreach (Control old in container.Controls) { disposeList.Add(old); } foreach (Control toDispose in disposeList) { container.Controls.Remove(toDispose); if (!toDispose.IsDisposed) { //toDispose.Dispose(); // This crashed. I forget the exception. } } control.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; control.Size = container.Size; container.Controls.Add(control); control.Show(); control.BringToFront(); } Maybe this is catching up with me. Any suggestions? Every time this happens I have to start over. The only way I can close the form is through "End Process" in Task Manager! ----- John Saunders Tag: BUG: WinForms Status Bar Problem on XP Tag: 77939

    - Draw table with GDI+ Is there a quick and easy way to draw a table on a winform? For my university assignment, we are asked to practice drawing with GDI+, so we are not allowed to use any built-in controls. The table has 5 columns and 2 rows and the first row is the heading. I guess I could use g.DrawRectangle() and g.DrawLine() repeatedly, but that's too cumbersome, plus I want to achieve something like DrawRow(1) to insert data to a cell. Any good ideas?

    - Passing large data between forms Hello, I have an application that simulates heat exchangers. There is a Edit form that allows to edit the parameters of the heat exchanger - 50-60 parameters. Currently Iam using 6 structures (each with 8-10 elements) that I pass between the main form and the edit form. These structures are also passed around in other forms and modules (for saving to file etc.). Is there a better way of doing this ? i.e. not using structures etc. Thank you. vikrantca Tag: BUG: WinForms Status Bar Problem on XP Tag: 77937

    - Impersonation and SQL Connections Hello all - I'm having a problem concerning Impersonation while connecting to SQL Server. I'm not sure if I'm posting this to the right newsgroups, so let me know if it belongs elsewhere, and please excuse the cross-post. I'm writing a Windows Forms application that makes direct calls to a SQL 2k database. This application requires a user to log in, and confirms their login and password with whatever they have in Active Directory. I had planned for the program to use the credentials of the user logged into the application (NOT Windows) when connecting to the SQL Server, but it seems I've encountered a slight pitfall. I've been reading that in this scenario, using simple Identity Impersonation, the SQL Server will attempt to connect as "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON" because of a limit to the impersonation context. I'm having trouble believing that this is true. I can impersonate users in ASP.NET just fine, and connect to databases using those credentials, but am unable to do the same through a desktop application? It doesn't make all that much sense, but then again, I'm somewhat of an amateur in this regard. So, that said, can anyone provide any examples or help to get this working? I'm happy to provide code samples, I just wasn't sure if it'd be necessary. Thanks! Clint Tag: BUG: WinForms Status Bar Problem on XP Tag: 77935

    - Handle form closing I have an MDI form containing child forms. I want to handle form closing to display a confirmation message when a form is closed or when the main form is closed. However, the Closing even of the child forms is raised before the Closing event of the MDI form when you close the MDI form. So, if I catch the Closing event of the child forms and display a message, then catch the Closing even of the main form, then I get 2 messages displayed. Is there a way to know, when a child form is being closed, wether the user closed the child form or the mdi form? Thanks Etienne Tag: BUG: WinForms Status Bar Problem on XP Tag: 77897

    - Large Fonts not scaling correctly on tab control. I have a problem which I have been able to reproduce in a very simple project. I have a form with a single tabcontrol control with two tab pages. The tabcontrol's Anchor property is set to Top, Left, Bottom, Right (all 4 directions). On each tabpage, I have a DataGrid. Each DataGrid's Anchor property is also set to Top, Left, Bottom, Right. I developed this simple application with my System's DPI setting set to Normal Size (96) and everything worked perfectly. The problem came, however, when I changed my DPI setting to Large (120). The datagrid on the first tabpage (index 0) did not have the correct size (too large). On the second tabpage (and any others that were present in subsequent tests), everything was sized correctly. The same problem happens in reverse (developing in Large and moving to Normal). My workaround was to create an empty tabpage at the beginning of the set and remove it from the tabcontrol's TabPages collection during the form's load event handler. I could have also not used anchor and changed the control's width during the form's resize event. Any non-hack solution or explanation would be appreciated.

    - Datagrid Empty Set Here is one I am stuggling with: I have a project I'm developing in VB .NET. I have a datagrid in a window with two columns. The first column is readonly and the second column is not and initialized with Zero's. The values in column two must be numeric. How do I prevent the user from leaving an Empty set in the cell?

    - ComboBox woes I need help solving a couple of problems (and learning a couple of concepts) involving ComboBox columns in my DataGrid. The first problem involves my custom ComboBoxColumn class. I don't have experience making custom classes so I downloaded some code. From what I've read, it's pretty standard for adding a ComboBox column. It overrides the Edit, SetColumnValueAtRow, and GetColumnValueAtRow subroutines. It works great, but it doesn't allow the user to type in custom items in the combobox. Anything you type in just gets ignored. I want users to be able to add new items to the database through the comboboxes. I don't understand all of this code, though, so I'm not sure how to do this. The comboboxes are bound to datatables, so when the changes are committed I just need to add a new row with the new text to the datatable. Then when my "Update Database" button is clicked, the table changes will get sent to the database. It looks like maybe SetColumnValueatRow is the key subroutine? The second problem involves the relationship between my query form and my display form. My query form is a series of ListBoxes bound to certain DataTables in my DataSet. But before I fill the tables from the database, I add an item called "All" to the tables so that I can select all items in the listbox for query purposes. The problem is that the comboboxes in my datagrid are bound to the same tables, so I have to remove the "All" item before displaying the datagrid or else "All" will be displayed as a selectable item in the combobox. This works fine if you use the query form once, but if the user clicks the "Back" button on the display form I have to put the "All" item back into the tables for use in the query form. But inserting an item in a datatable that is already filled doesn't seem to be as trivial as adding a row to a blank table. Obviously I want "All" to be the first item in the list, so I can't just tack it on to the end. Right now I have to clear the tables and refill them, which is taking about 15 seconds. I guess one solution is to just make copies of the tables and put "All" at the first index in one of them and bind each listbox and combobox to different tables, but it seems there should be a more elegant solution. Is there a syntax for inserting a custom item in a datatable at index 0? Tag: BUG: WinForms Status Bar Problem on XP Tag: 77878

    - Distinguish Home key from NumPad Home key? Hi all, Does anyone know if it is possible to distinguish between a user pressing the dedicated Home key versus the Home key on the number pad (NumPad 7 with NumLock off)? I'm working in VB.NET on WinXP Pro. The standard KeyPress/Down/Up events return identical key codes. I've tried the API GetKeyboardState call and I've even tried keyboard hooks as described in http://www.developer.com/net/net/article.php/11087_2193301_1/ I'm able to accurately determine state of the NumLock key, but NumPad 7 with the NumLock off appears to generate the same key code as the dedicated Home key.

    - Forms designer hangs when control added (combobox or listbox so far) hi. i've searched everywhere for an answer to this problem, and the closest thing i've found is a report from someone else with the same problem. using vb.net, ver 2003. this happened before installing the latest .net framework update and after. i have a simple windows forms app. a couple of forms, using textboxes, tabgroups, labels, and buttons...nothing complex. i try adding a combobox control to this form, and the IDE hangs indefinitely (need to end task it). the first time i had this problem was a couple of months ago with a larger, more complex application... i had created some custom controls that inherited from some of the base windows.forms controls, and was having all sorts of fun with the designer not being able to "get it", refusing to render forms, hanging if it did manage to open a form, and so on. the visual inheritance problem was easily fixed by simply building the project, though i still had to be careful what controls i selected on a form in design time in case it hung. since then i've tried to do as much "visual" stuff as possible in the code view, but i've encountered this again and can't get to the bottom of it. i've just run another vs.net process and attached the debugger to my hanging one. i've noticed that the hanging occurs when i move the mouse off the form (say, over to the properties dock) but having said that i've previously noticed that the hang happens after a small period of time, no matter what you do with the mouse. so yeah, i've got a nice bit of disassembled code that's stuck in a loop, details: Address: System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback (^this is what's looping) it calls: System.Windows.Forms.Message.Create returns to NativeWindow.Callback, then calls: System.Windows.Forms.Design.ControlDesigner.ChildSubClass.WndProc which calls: System.Windows.Forms.Design.ControlDesigner.get_DesignerTarget System.Windows.Forms.Design.ControlDesigner.set_DesignerTarget does anyone have any ideas? any pointers in the right direction would help a lot!

    - Shockwave Player in Windows Forms? There are plenty of posts regarding using a Flash player in standalone Windows Forms apps, but what about the Shockwave player? I don't know much about the differences between Shockwave and Flash, but I've been told that you can do far more with Shockwave. Tag: BUG: WinForms Status Bar Problem on XP Tag: 77824

    - Maintaining and Using App Login details Hi, I'm developing an Windows forms based app that will draw data from a SQL Server 2000 system, that is set to use SQL Authentication (i.e. connection string must pass uname:pword). Given that various forms will need to use a SQL connection to generate data for data grid's etc ... how can I pass this authentication information around the various forms? A solution is to start the application from a VB.NET class, that has a shared member with the connection string (set once the user completes the login) Or create a shared connection object? Should I create a new connection object for each form? I currently test whether the login credentials are correct by enclosing within a try..catch clause an attempt to open and close a connection, failure will indicate invalid details (or perhaps a dead SQL Server!) ... any improvements on this? I assume that when using the form designer in VS.NET that if I manually program the connection (i.e. outside the section of code written by VS.NET ) that I can point the adapters/datasets etc. to the required connection. There are a few questions here ... but I've not so far found any answers here, on Google or elsewhere :( ! Thanks in advance for help Tag: BUG: WinForms Status Bar Problem on XP Tag: 77795

    - KeyUp event routing issues in Windows Forms. I believe I have found a bug in how keyboard events are routed in Windows Forms. I am not sure if this is a bug or how to work around it. MessageBoxes (MessageBox.Show) that are opened over top of a form end up routing their KeyUp events to the active control beneath the messagebox. For example, if I have a TextBox control focused on a form, and I open a message box, pressing "enter" to close the message box causes the TextBox control to receive a KeyUp event for the enter that was pressed in the dialog! It's almost as though the message is getting routed to the incorrect location. To reproduce this problem, create a new Windows Application (C#) project in Visual Studio 2003 (.NET 1.1. The issue occurs in the service pack edition as well). Drop a TextBox control onto the form's canvas from the toolbox. The bug occurs in any control that can receive focus, but in this case I will use a TextBox. Add a MouseUp event handler to the textbox with the following code: private void textBox1_MouseUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show("The textbox was clicked. Pressing 'enter' on this dialog will cause the keyboard event to be incorrectly routed to the text box."); } Then add a KeyUp event handler to the textbox with the following code: private void textBox1_KeyUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter) { MessageBox.Show("An Enter KeyUp event was received by the text box. If you pressed enter to close the dialog, this message was incorrectly received! Pressing enter again on this messagebox will cause an endless loop!"); } } Save the project and then run the application. Click on the textbox to cause the messagebox to appear, then press the enter key while the messagebox is focused. The KeyUp event was routed to the wrong location, possibly causing undesired behavior! I noticed this bug with we were writing "ESC" key handling code in our application to close documents. A messagebox would appear, and if the user pressed "ESC" to close the messagebox, the ESC key event would get routed to the document, which would cause it to close - definately not correct behavior! :( I don't have the KeyPreview property enabled on the form. Is there any work around for this? KeyPress and KeyDown don't get executed however. I suppose I could move the code into the KeyDown event. Tag: BUG: WinForms Status Bar Problem on XP Tag: 77785

    - SelectedIndexChanged event in comboA causes same event to fire in comboB I have a vb.net 1.1 winforms app and have several combo boxes on a form 2 combos have the same data and are populated from the same data table using the bind method. One is the ShipToAddress and the other is the BillToAddress. when the user selects an address in the shipto combo, after its SelectedIndexChanged event fires, the SelectedIndexChanged event fires in the BillTo combo which, of course, is causing big problems. Why is this? is it because they are bound to the same data table? Is it a bug in vs 1.1? Can anyone recommend a fix or work around for this? Thanks. -- moondaddy@nospam.com Tag: BUG: WinForms Status Bar Problem on XP Tag: 77784

    - Form with background transparency issues Recently I wanted to create a small little program that could sit= on the desktop and not block the desktop wallpaper=2E There are= two methods to accomplish that ( that I am aware of )=2E 1) create a bmp as a background image and set the transparency= key to match its color 2) specify the form's background color with a matching= transparency key Now my issues with both methods, but first it should be known= that I have set the forms to have no border or title bar and= have implemented code that allows me to click-and-hold anywhere= on the form and move it=2E The data actually displayed on the= form is just text and one rectangle, all drawn by me ( there are= no controls on the form itself )=2E 1) I have two issues with this method, although it is what I'm= prefering to use at the moment=2E The first seems to be the= discrepancy between how the program is handled when the= computer's Color Depth is 32bit or when it is less than 32bit (= 16bit )=2E When the color depth is 32bit then I am able to click= on the entire area the form inhabits ( even that which is= transparent ) and move it, but if the color depth is less than= 32bit ( 16bit ) then only the drawn text or rectangle outline (= since it has no fill ) can be clicked to drag the program= around=2E Clicking on the transparent areas just passes the click= through the form to whatever is below ( even when I know the= form has focus )=2E I'd like to be able, regardless of the= desktop's color depth, to click anywhere within the form area= and move the application=2E The second issue I have with this method occurs when I take my= executable and put it on another PC ( my PC is XP Pro, the other= PC is XP Home=2E=2E Both SP2 )=2E The problem is similar, but a= little different=2E When the 2nd PC's color depth is at 32bit,= the transparency does not work=2E The green/lime ( that's the= transparent color I'm using ) background shows=2E Needless to say= this is not acceptable=2E When I change the color depth to less= than 32bit ( 24bit this time ), the transparency actually works,= but I come across the same issue of clicks on the transparent= areas just passing through=2E 2) With this method I have not tried it on a 2nd PC yet ( I don't= have it available where I am atm )=2E Its basically the same= "issue" as mentioned above with color depth less than 32bit,= except it does it with a color depth of 32bit and 16bit=2E Clicks= on the transparent areas just pass right through=2E I'm tempted= to just go with this method and possibly make one area on the= form that is meant to be used to drag it around ( similar to the= idea of the box that appears to move tables in MS Word ), but= I'm hoping there's a solution I'm unaware of before I do that=2E Anyways, all of this brings up some interesting questions=2E -What does color depth have to do with transparency handling? -Does the version of XP ( Home or Pro ) handle transparency= differently? Probably some more questions also=2E Not sure if it matters, but I'm doing all of this in C#=2E Any help or suggestions offered will be greatly appreciated=2E -------------------------------- From: othell m=2E ----------------------- Posted by a user from =2ENET 247 (http://www=2Edotnet247=2Ecom/) <Id>n5f4+mRIPU647s2eV3QftA=3D=3D</Id> Tag: BUG: WinForms Status Bar Problem on XP Tag: 77780

    - No Touch Deploy not working on Windows 98 Our No Touch Deploy application has worked on all OS's thus fire (post Windows 98). We just installed our stub exe (the one that pulls the assemblies from a web server) on a Windows 98 machine. I ran the stub (all it does is an assembly.loadfrom pointing to a url) and got all kinds of strange thread exceptions. I looked in the assembly|download folder and it's empty.

I think I've discovered a bug in the WinForms StatusBar control as
implemented on Windows XP. A picture is worth a thousands words so:

This is the way my form is *supposed* to look. Here you can see it running
on my development server which is Win2003 Server:

http://temp.codefanatic.com/usenet/looksgood.jpg

This is the way my form looks on XP. Notice the status bar is being
overwritten with the group box control:

http://temp.codefanatic.com/usenet/looksbad.jpg

The .NET code is identical on both machines. Any ideas?
