    - wiring events Last month Bruce Wood responded to my question as below. Can some one give me a little more detail how to "connect up" as mentioned here. Bruce, are you there? Help again, please. 1. If the purpose of MyClass is to interact tightly with a tree view and nothing but a tree view, and that's really all it does, it might be appropriate to pass the tree view instance into MyClass and have it connect up its own event handlers to the events of interest from the tree view. This is a very tight coupling, and you should use it only when MyClass and the tree view are tightly related, one-to-one, and MyClass really doesn't mean anything without a companion tree view. Or, preferably, -- Thanks for your help. Harshad Rathod Tag: WinXP Remote desktop causes 99% CPU usage Tag: 82281

    - datagrid memory leak? okay, I have a wierd problem. first of all, when my app loads, it uses a lot of memory. Most of which goes away if I minimize and reopen the application. Second problem is that I have a datagrid on the application and as long as a mouse is moving over the datagrid, it keeps accumulating memory and never releases it. I don't have any events that should be causing this. Also, if I move the mouse over other parts of the form, not the datagrid, the amount of memory used doesn't go up. The only way to release the memory is to minimize the app and restore it. any idea why the datagrid isn't releasing the memory? Tag: WinXP Remote desktop causes 99% CPU usage Tag: 82279

    - Clicking a button and pressing Enter key act different in MDI clie In our app (see: MDI Client problem - second try) clicking a button hides (me.visible = false) the current client window and displays another client window (form.show the first time and then me.visible = true thereafter ). We have just noticed that if you tab to the button and press Enter the MdiChildActivate event does not fire and client is not displayed. Clicking always works. Anyone know what is wrong?

    - Outlook Style Calendar Control Hey folks, Is there a .Net Windows Forms Control which looks like the Outlook Calendar? All I can find is the Drop Down Calendar control, but I don't want it to be drop down, and I need to be able to write text on the individual days. I'm pretty sure ASP.Net has one. If Windows doesn't have one, does the Office dll expose theirs (which can be used without Exchange Integration)? Thx! Tag: WinXP Remote desktop causes 99% CPU usage Tag: 82270

    - New Thread Hey folks, This is really simple, but a little hard to explain, so bare with me. I have a C# MDI application. On one of my child Windows there are multiple tabs. One of the tabs is fully populated by a User Control which has on it a 3rd party control. The 3rd party control runs very slow on semi-old PCs. It takes about 5 or 6 seconds to load. As such, when the form is loaded, it takes 5 or 6 seconds before the form appears. Is there a way I can force my User Control Tab (with the 3rd party control on it) to open on a seperate UI thread? This way the form will load and appear right away. Only the tab with the slow control on it won't be accessible right away. Or, if not a seperate UI Thread, is there anything I can do to make the form appear while the slow tab is loading? Thx! Tag: WinXP Remote desktop causes 99% CPU usage Tag: 82268

    - OT: Replacement for Adobe Acrobat I'm using the free Adobe Acrobat ocx that comes with Acrobat (v6) to view and print pdf's within a Windows Forms application. This works, pdf's display and print fine. The problem is that acrobat takes several seconds to start up when the pdf viewer form that I've written is first used, and displays an annoying adobe splash screen. Also, prints take quite a long time to render and spool. I'm therefore looking for a control that I can use in place of the Acrobat OCX.. One that can view and print a pdf. Ideally this should be free, but realistically should have a reasonably low-cost developers licence and be free of runtime licence. Does anybody have any advice?

After the user clicks OK on the message box, I need the focus to return to a different control (a textbox).

Any focus method after that is ignored. Can anyone tell me how to overide this behaviour? -- wr Tag: WinXP Remote desktop causes 99% CPU usage Tag: 82247

    - Watcher of called methods in C# Hi could you help me to find out how can I watch which method is called in some object? I would like to do functionality that shows in dialog window (Windows forms) a proggres bar while in backgroun window runs some functionality like loading or updating data in form. Yes I can do this by showing Wait cursor to users but this is for me not enought.;) I would like to do that easiest as posible for implementation on existing code. So I have some idea to have a "listener" thats hooks on Form object and listen to method calls with specified custom Attribute on methods that are doing loading or other app freeze functionality. And I look if a method has my attribute and if is true I show up dilaog window with progres bar. Could you help me find out which object can listen to method calls or if you have some other solution on my problem? Thanks a lot Frankie Tag: WinXP Remote desktop causes 99% CPU usage Tag: 82243

    - Control Addition safety handling I was curious about the following scenario but couldn't find the exact handling using disassembler: What happens if an instance of a control already added in the Controls collection of a form is added again? Is there a reference check on each control addition to handle the said scenario? It is possible that there is a reference checking since the OnControlAdded event is not raised for the second time. Anyone who can shed some light on the said handling? Thanks a lot! Tag: WinXP Remote desktop causes 99% CPU usage Tag: 82239

    - Label with Transparent Background I need to have text displayed over a picturebox with an image in it. When using a label whose BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent, the background is not transparent. I came across this explanation as to why .Net does not support transparent backgrounds. ************ [In Visual Basic 6.0, the BackStyle property of the Label control determined whether the label had a transparent background. Setting the BackStyle property to 0 â?? Transparent allowed any background image or other controls to show through the label. In Visual Basic .NET, the BackStyle property no longer exists, and the transparency behavior is slightly different. To emulate the transparent behavior in Visual Basic .NET, set the BackColor property to System.Drawing.Color.Transparent. This will allow the background image to show through, but it will not be transparent in regard to other controls.] ********************** The last phrase is mindboggling, " . . . but it will not be transparent in regards to other controls." What good it is then??? Why would any lanquage designer not support such a useful property? How do I get a label to have a true transparent background??

    - Inheritance in forms which inherit template forms I have this "template" form which is based on System.Windows.Forms.Form. I created a new form(the derived form) which inherits this form. I have observed that if, at runtime, I run through all of the controls in the controls collection of the "template" form, I can have access to all the controls that exist in the derived form! Now this seems odd to me; why should a base class have the controls of a class above it (the derived form), in its controls collection. Certainly I would expect the class derived from the template to see all the controls on the base class but not the other way around. -- Michael Hockstein Tag: WinXP Remote desktop causes 99% CPU usage Tag: 82235

    - Problem with FileSystemWatcher/Tray Notifier App Hi, I've been developing an application in VB.NET that uses the FileSystemWatcher and a popup notification in order to tell me when files have been downloaded. The FileSystemWatcher code in my project is basically the same one thats floating all over the VB.NET sites (by Jayesh Jain). The popup notification (called TaskbarNotifier) is a class originally by John O'Byrne written in C# and C++ but ported to VB.NET by Patrick Vanden Driessche. It was downloaded from codeproject.com. Both of these elements (FileSystemWatcher and TaskBarNotifier) work perfectly on the own but I experienced problems when I tried incorporating and combining them in my own project. Basically, the FileSystemWatcher will detect files created, changed, deleted etc and the TaskBarNotifier will display popups as it should. The problem comes when I create a file (by means of downloading it or by just copying it to the 'watched' folder directly). I've coded it so the TaskBarNotifier should popup with name of the file created/downloaded then disappear after 3 seconds. It should, but doesn't. I can't understand why the same code will not run when used under a different procedure. I would of prefered to paste the code here in the hope people willing and able to help can paste it directly into their own VB.NET environment but the project contains bitmaps (as Embedded Resources) for the skins of the popups and they need to be included when compiling/testing the app otherwise it won't compile. So for this reason I've posted the project on my website for download. Homepage: http://www.geocities.com/toffee_paul/fun_d_mental.html Direct Link: http://www.geocities.com/toffee_paul/vbnetproj.zip When compiled and the form is displayed, click 'Test just the Popup' and the popup will appear as it should. Now change the 'watch folder' to a valid folder and copy a file to this folder. The app will detect the newly created file (as proven in the 'content' textbox) but the popup will fail to appear. Very strange problem. Any help is very much appreciated, Thanks Paul Tag: WinXP Remote desktop causes 99% CPU usage Tag: 82232

    - Webbrowser Hide Bug (Solution) I don't think anybody has ever come up with a satisfactory solution to the bug where the webbrowser control, hosted in an MDI child, breaks when the form is hidden and reshown. I think this problem also sometimes manifests itself in non-MDI forms too. The solution I came up with was very simple and seems to work perfectly. State is maintained perfectly and you don't have to reload the page or anything. 1) Wrap the webbrowser control in your own UserControl (I recommend the WebOCHostVB... search for it in MS KB... Article ID 311303). 2) In the usercontrol's HandleDestroyed event remove the webbrowser from the Controls collection (and add it back in the HandleCreated event). This prevents the orphaning of the webbrowser window. Private Sub WebOCHostCtrl_HandleDestroyed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.HandleDestroyed 'detach the browser If Not webBrowser Is Nothing Then If Me.Controls.Contains(webBrowser) Then Me.Controls.Remove(webBrowser) End If End If End Sub Private Sub WebOCHostCtrl_HandleCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.HandleCreated 'attach the browser If Not webBrowser Is Nothing Then If Not Me.Controls.Contains(webBrowser) Then Me.Controls.Add(webBrowser) webBrowser.Width = Me.ClientRectangle.Width webBrowser.Height = Me.ClientRectangle.Height End If End If End Sub That's it!

I am using the following lines of code: rm = New ResourceManager("MyImages", Me.GetType().Assembly) and PictureBox1.Image = CType(rm.GetObject("MyImage", ci), System.Drawing.Image) Using the reseditor I could see the bitmap files in the file.

I have the following code ('this' is a non-MDI Form): Form form1 = new Form(); form1.Owner = this; form1.Show() Form form2 = new Form(); form2.Owner = this; form2.Show(); The behavior is that form1 and form2 are sort of child forms of 'this' form.

    - mdi client problems - second try In our app (VB) client forms are displayed based on what is on the current client form and the button pressed. A user never selects a client form. You can think of this process as filling out a very long form with many branches (e.g., IRS form 1040). Once a client form is loaded it is never unloaded - just hidden. I need help resolving these 2 problems: 1) Focus on a text box. I know i can't set the focus in the Load event but the Activated event only fires when the first client loads. Also, when the form is redisplayed (i.e., made visible) txtbox.focus, for example, doesn't work. What I do now is start a timer with a 10ms interval and set the focus in the timer event. I also think that sometimes when I leave the text box the Leave event doesn't always fire. There's got to be a better way. 2) Client form size. I would like the client form to be the maximum size that will fit in the MDI parent. The minimum size of the client forms is set to 720 X 540. If i set the WindowState to Maximized the first client is displayed maximized but all the others are displayed at their minimum size. When the first client form is redisplayed it is also displayed at the minimum size. This just drives the users crazy. What I've done is after showing the form the first time or making the form visible on redisplays I set the child.Dock = DockStyle.Fill. I also do this if the parent is resized. Now the client is almost maximum size except it still has its own margins. -- tsiGeorge Tag: WinXP Remote desktop causes 99% CPU usage Tag: 82203

The icon is linked as the application icon in Project Properties and is also linked with each windows form. The icon is displayed properly on the desktop, in the task bar, and on the form itself. However, when you task switch (Alt+Tab) the icon is replaced with a generic icon. Why? How do I get the proper icon to show on the task switch dialog? --Kevin Tag: WinXP Remote desktop causes 99% CPU usage Tag: 82196

    - After form loads event Hi This question is probably one of the basic things but being a novice programmer in c# and .NET environment, I couldn't get to find the answer. I have a menu item in one form and need to create the context menu with tht menu item in another form. The first form becomes the parent form for the second form after the second form is loaded. So, I need to know what event could be used as load event is called when the form is still in the process of loading. Thanks Tag: WinXP Remote desktop causes 99% CPU usage Tag: 82194

    - changing look and feel of an app I would like to know if there are any examples, tutorial on how to completely change an application's look and feel. By that I mean the colors, the way menus are drawn, the way tool bar items are spaced in a tool bar, the way tab identifiers are shaped, etc., etc. There are a few interesting 'LAFs' such as MS Money 2005, MSN Messenger 6.2, Office 2003...just to name a few basic ones. I would like to have one of my graphic designer friends do a mock up in photoshop then produce an application that looks like it (I'm assuming it all has to be done programatically so designers would have to resort to something like photoshop). I also understand that part of the reason the aforementioned applications look the way they do is because of controls which are not available publicly...despite that, if designer can create websites (with primitive components) that can draw powerful and diverse emotional reactions, I don't understand why rich client GUIs have to look so ugly and gray (obviously 'consistency' has its place too). Any way, it will be even better if someone can point me to publicly available LAFs, the way we are starting to see them for the Java/SWING community. Thanks!

    - View of ListControl Item I have a ListControl on a window where the text will get clipped. The user can not see the full text nor can he scroll to view it. Questions: 1) Is there a Windows "standard" that is used for a work around. 2) Is there a way to know which item the mouse is hovering over and put up a display in a tool tip type window. I can't find a way to access the Scollbar to find out the vertical scroll on the window. I would prefer to stay away from a Combo box look as the list control is for display purposes and is not used for selection. Thanks, Marc Tag: WinXP Remote desktop causes 99% CPU usage Tag: 82185

I've developped a program which runs on a Windows XP computer and it has a
Windows Forms based GUI.
The problem is the following:
I run the program while I'm connected using Remote Desktop.
Everything is fine at this point.
I disconnect from Remote Desktop,without logging out, everything remains
fine.
If I reconnect from the same machine, my application keeps working perfectly
but as soon as I remotely connect from a different computer using Remote
Desktop or when I connect directly using
the Console, I get a 99% CPU usage phenomenon (my application takes up to
99% and remains at this point).

The controls used in my application are:
-ListView
-Button
-System Tray Icon

I'd like to know If someone has ever heard about such a problem.
How can I resolve it?
Thanks in advance.

Jonathan
