    - How To: Display objects in a PropertyGrid DropDown list? I followed the MSDN example that uses a StringConverter to display states (like Ohio, Florida,) in a PropertyGrid using a DropDown list. This works fine for strings, but I would like to do this with objects I create on the fly. I think I have to create a custom TypeConverter, but I'm not sure how. Any examples would be helpful.

    - Painting over an ActiveX-Control Hello, I am working on an enhanced HTML-Editor based on DHTMLEdit. So I created a subclass like that: public class HTMLEditor : AxDHTMLEDLib.AxDHTMLEdit I have created a lot of functions to insert Tables, Images, etc. Edit them, drag Table cells, etc... What I now basically want is to draw my own stuff in the editing window on top of that which is drawn anyway by DHTMLEdit. For example a grid like Visual Studio .NET does in HTML-View. Or drawing boxes over tables which the mouse is hovering like Frontpage 2003 does... I thought I simple override WndProc, catch WM_PAINT, let the base class do that drawing stuff and then I just paint my stuff over it, like that: protected override void WndProc(ref System.Windows.Forms.Message m) { base.WndProc(ref m); if (m.Msg == WM_PAINT) { IntPtr hDC = IntPtr.Zero; hDC = GetDC(this.Handle); Graphics g = Graphics.FromHdc(hDC); g.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.Red),0,0,100,100); g.Dispose(); ReleaseDC(this.Handle, hDC); } } I tried other things to get an instance of Graphics, like CreateGraphics-Member of Control, etc. When starting the app, I see that red rectangle, but a second later it's "hidden" by the HTMLEditor, and its never visible again. I also played around with the ControlStyles, but did not find anything that worked... Anyone has an idea?

    - Datagrid and Bound ComboBox Columns Hi, I have a tough one.. I have a datagrid that is bound to a typed dataset the following way Dim ds as New MyDataSe Datagrid.Datasource = d Datagrid.DataMembre = "BonReception" 'A datatable from my datase In that datagrid I have to combobox column (they come from a class I have made) and the combobox are bound like this ComboBoxColumn.ComboBox.DataSource = d ComboBoxColumn.ComboBox.DisplayMember = "Intervenant.TypeIntervenant" 'Another datatable from my datase ComboBoxColumn.ComboBox.ValueMember = "Intervenant.ID ComboBoxColumn.ComboBox.DataBindings.Add("SelectedValue", ds, "BonReception.TypeIntervenantID" The second combobox column's combobox use a data relation between the table Intervenant and IntervenantDetai ComboBoxColumn.ComboBox.DataSource = d ComboBoxColumn.ComboBox.DisplayMember = "Intervenant.IntervenantIntervenantDetail.Intervenant" ComboBoxColumn.ComboBox.ValueMember = "Intervenant.IntervenantIntervenantDetail.ID ComboBoxColumn.ComboBox.DataBindings.Add("SelectedValue", ds, "BonReception.IntervenantDetailID" The comboboxes in each column behave as expected, if you select a TypeIntervenant in the first combobox, the second combobox only displays the Intervenant that match the selected TypeIntervenant in the first combobox The problem is this, the data is displayed in the first combobox column, but only in the first row of the second combobox column. If I click in the first column on the second row then in the second column the first row will go blank and the second row will display it's value. If I click in the second column at any row the combobox shows up with the right value for that row If I remove the data relation between table Intervenant and IntervenantDetail, the data is displayed correctly and everything behave as expected.

    - List of activated fonts does not include shortcut activations Our font management tool, Suitcase, activates fonts dynamically by creating shortcuts in the Windows font folder. Using System.Drawing.Text.InstalledFontCollection to get the list of font families from the system yields only the fonts whose files are physically in the system font folder- not the shortcuts. None of our applications have any problems using the fonts activated by shortcuts. Can anyone recommend another way to retrieve the complete list of fonts?

    - WinForm App and TaskManager Hi, I've a winform app and want to start the program without beeing visible in the task manager on a Windows ME box. I've seen some programs that start using the "Run" option in the registry and not appearing in the task manager. These programs are written in VC++ and I'm wondering how can I do that for my C# application? If this is not possible with an UI, can I write a background process which starts silently to monitor the other app? Remember, we're talking about a ME/98 box and have no services available. The background is that I want to prevent a user from killing my monitoring software in the task manager.

    - How to get instance of control by name Hi, imagine having an INI-file with entries like: # key=Control / value=Text property of control controlA=bla bla bla controlB=bla bla bla controlA and controlB are different controls of types like TextBox, etc. Closing form will write INI-file, storing control names and text property of these Loading form will read INI-file and set text value of corresponding control quite a simple task, if you'll do it as follows: .... switch (iniControl) { case "controlA" : controlA.Text = iniValue; break; ... } ... But what about a more generic solution? Assuming that the key-value of INI-file is a known control, an instance within the form, what about a solution like: - get instance of the control by its name - set value from INI-file to Text-property Tried to solve this by using reflection - something like GetType(iniControl), but never suceeded. What do you think how this could be solved? Thanks and regards - Jari Tag: How to bind Data Grid to non-DataTable type, but still get auto columns Tag: 67480

    - Font Class - a big performance eater? I was curious if anybody else noticed this fact. Everytime you use the font class, especially creating multiple instances of the Font class in an iteration, there is a significant performance hit. The way I noticed was due to a bug in my code. I have a list class where each item is a separate object with various properties, among which a Font. At some point I wanted to test my list with a lot of items so I made a loop that was creating like 10000 items, but I used a constructor that passes a font too and I used new Font(...). To my surprize and astonishement, it took an average of 7 milliisecond for the framework to create each item. I got into a sort of panic, as I thought that my event model was too extensive or I forget to dispose some objects. It turned up that when I removed the Font object from the costructor with a null, the average time went from 7 milliseconds to 0.02 miliseconds!! That is like 350 times faster... Now I am even worried about any place that I might use the font constructor. Did anybody noticed this behavior in other instances? Does anyone know an optimized way of using fonts thank you Iulian Tag: How to bind Data Grid to non-DataTable type, but still get auto columns Tag: 67459

    - No-Touch Deployment app.config problem I'm having a very frustrating problem with a no-touch-deployed application and its app.config file. When it loads from a remote server, it cannot get any settings from the app.config file. In trying to locate the problem, I have tested the following things: 1. The application works flawlessly when deployed via XCopy. 2. The application works flawlessly when accessed on my own machine via http://localhost. 3. The app.config file is accessible. I can browse to it manually and download it. 4. The app.config file is being downloaded by the application and stored in the IE browser cache, but is still not accessible to the application. 5. Another application - a simple one for testing this situation - exhibits exactly the same behaviour. I have already removed the *.config mapping from IIS for the relevant directory, and, just like before, the app.config is still accessible. I have enabled anonymous access. Just like before, the app.config is still accessible. I have thus concluded that the problem is not with my server configuration. Is anyone able to offer any insight into the situation?

    - Radiobutton databinding: Hi, I have a radio button group which I want to bind to a table column whose value is a string. Based on the string value, I want to checkmark one of the radio buttons. Here is my code in an attempt to do this. But it fails. The events don't even fire. I don't know what I am missing. All other databindings (to text boxes and combo boxes even check boxes) seem to work fine. But then, those controls don't need datatype conversion either. Can somebody please help? CatalogsDV is a Dataview of my datasource. And I have a currencyManager that positions the data. I have no problems there since other controls seem to work. Binding b2b = new Binding("Checked", catalogsDV, Const.CATALOGTYPECOLUMN); b2b.Format += new ConvertEventHandler(FormatCatalogType); b2b.Parse += new ConvertEventHandler(ParseCatalogType); this.rdbtnB2B.DataBindings.Add(b2b); // // // // private void FormatCatalogType(object sender, ConvertEventArgs e) { if (e.DesiredType != typeof(string)) return; string ctype = (string)e.Value; if (ctype == "B2B") this.rdbtnB2B.Checked = true; else if (ctype == "B2C") this.rdbtnB2C.Checked = true; } private void ParseCatalogType(object sender, ConvertEventArgs e) { if (e.DesiredType != typeof(bool)) return; bool ctype = (bool)e.Value; if (ctype == true) e.Value = "B2B"; else if (ctype == false) e.Value = "B2C"; } I am confused with the complexity of Databinding. But trying to learn. I assume the above event methods are correct, at least logically. I have placed breakpoints inside both the above events. But they don't seem to fire at all.

    - Tables don't show in drop down of tablestyle in property window of datagrid Ok I'm working on a custom IDE though it's using alot of the same technologies as the VS.Net IDE. I drag and drop the datagrid onto the form (root component) and there is a dataset with tables in the component tray. I then just set the datasource to the dataset and then the datamember to the table I desire. I then open the tablestyles and add a new one and hit the mappingname and hit the drop down and nothing shows up. What I need to find out is how the datagrid populates that list, something somewhere in my IDE isn't allowing the datagrid to populate the dropdown list with the tables in the dataset. So does anyone have any idea how that list gets populated Joe Tag: How to bind Data Grid to non-DataTable type, but still get auto columns Tag: 67427

    - queueing messages Hi, Ok, since I began writing this post, I have figured out the majority of my problem. I started out without a clue about how to use messages in my application (not referring to System.Messaging, but to good old windows messages). I want a Win32 application that runs without a window. I figured out how to add a message filter to the application before calling Application.Run(). That solves the problem of catching the message. Now I cannot, for the life of me, find any references to how to put a message on the application queue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Initial Flicker on Fade Out Greetings Having a bit of a problem with a fade out on a form. I'm using a timer which is enabled via a button and then this timer tick then takes the opacity down to nothing and then eventually closing the application. However, what is happening is that when the button is clicked that enables the timer and thus the first tick, the form goes all black and then then repaints to the original form and fades out smoothly. I'm sure that this does not occur on the button click event, as I've put the thread to sleep at this point, and verified that it happens upon the first firing of the tick event. Here's what I've noticed, this is much worse on forms with many controls, it actually appears if the form rolls into the center leaving the black background for just an instant before proceeding normally. Although this "rolling" may be an optical illusion. Would appreciate if anyone can assist with getting rid of the flicker..........argh... probably something stupid...

    - PropertyGrid bug? Hi all, Maybe this has been said before, I'm sorry if it has. I'm making a custom EnumConverter for a propertygrid so it shows other values than the named values of the enum... this works pretty much correctly, and as expected, EXCEPT: When doubleclicking the dropdown box, moving the mouse wheel, or using an accelerator key for the dropdown, it ignores completely the ConverTo() function (which is called when the dropdown is popped up and a value selected), and just doesn't call it. This is a problem as I use this function to convert the string representation to the actual enum value, so the setter receives an string and it causes an invalid property value exception (and doesn't change the value, that is). I could surely make every setter check if it's a string and convert accordingly, but that'd be hell of a lot of work (i'm doing this for many different enums and properties), and that'd rather ruin the usefulness of the PropertyGrid. So is this a bug in the PropertyGrid, am I doing something worng, or is there something I have forgotten to do so I can convert to my enum value when the editor value is changed other than popping up the dropdown?
