    - MessageBox problem Hello, I'm trying to achieve the following: 1. Have a windows form open a modal MessageBox (with MessageBox.Show()) 2. Minimize (or hide) this form along with the open MessageBox. 3. Restore the form, so it returns to its original state - with the MessageBox open modally above it (and at the same place in the form code of course - the call to the MessageBox.Show() method. My problem is whenever I hide the MessageBox (using the Hide method or Win32 api call) the MessageBox.Show() method returns (as if the MessageBox has been closed). How can I avoid this behavior and achieve steps 1-3? Thanks. Tag: VS build result as dll Tag: 65464

    - Cannot open derived form in design view if the base form is marked 'abstract'. Hi folks! I have a BaseForm class that inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form. It has a property, whose value I need supplied by the class that inherits it. The BaseForm usees the value supplied into this property in its Load event. So, I gave the BaseForm and the property 'abstract' modifier, and put the implementation of the property in the inherited class; say MyForm. However, when I did this, I no longer can open MyForm in the design view. I'm stuck if I can't visually design MyForm.... :( Would appreciate any input, even if it means altogether different way to accomplish. thanks! -Yasutaka Tag: VS build result as dll Tag: 65454

    - Resize to "Normal" from Maximized fails with ClientSize reset to {0,0)!? The problem: WinForms app with main form and one NotifyIcon (called sysTrayIcon in my code). Main form starts out minimized with ShowInTaskBar = False. Double clicking on the system tray icon displays the form. All looks/works well except.... If you: [1] start the app [2] double-click on the system tray icon to display the ("normal" sized) main form [3] maximize the main form [4] minimize the main form [5] double-click on the system tray icon to re-display the (still maximized) main form [6] click the "normal size" button (between minimize and close in the title bar) the main form now displays nothing more than the title bar, as if there were no client area at all. What the heck is that?! Looking at the messages going through the message pump it looks like the main form is being sized correctly the first time, but is then being resized down to 0,0 twice. Why is that happening??? Here's the custom bits to add to the default WinForms app: private void Form1_Load( object sender, System.EventArgs e ) { this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized ; this.ShowInTaskbar = false ; } private void sysTrayIcon_DoubleClick( object sender, System.EventArgs e ) { this.ShowInTaskbar = true ; this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal ; } private void Form1_Deactivate( object sender, System.EventArgs e ) { if( this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized ) { this.ShowInTaskbar = false ; } } This has me puzzled. I'm not much of a UI guy (as if you couldn't tell). The cause *is* related to my code (shown above) because the default WinForms app doesn't do this (already checked). Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer. -Jason Tag: VS build result as dll Tag: 65450

    - Binding a PictureBox Control to A ImageList - what field to bind to? I am trying to bind a simple ImageList Control to a PictureBox. I can't seem to find in documentation, or through trial and error, the right ImageList data member to bind to. Nothing seems to work. The code below attempts to bind the PictureBox "pbMain" to the ImageList "ilPics" which is successfully loaded with images from a test directory.

    - Changing compile order within a project I started with two projects in a solution, one containing a BaseForm and the other an enherited ChildForm. I decided to move the BaseFrom to the second project and changed the inherited form to look in the local project for its parent. However, until the baseform compiles, the child form cannot find it. I am guessing that I may need to change the compile order in the second project to compile the baseform BEFORE the associated enherited forms. Am I correct and, if so, how to I change the order?

When I open the main form of my application the only available tools from the toolbox are those in the "Dialog Editor" section.

    - GetWindowLong on GWL_EXSTYLE fails with error 127 Simple, really. I have C# code in a Windows Form, thus: int rc; rc = Win32API.SetParent(ctrl.Handle, new IntPtr(Win32API.GetDesktopWindow())); rc = Win32API.GetWindowLong(ctrl.Handle, Win32API.GWL_EXSTYLE); if (rc == 0) { System.Console.WriteLine(Marshal.GetLastWin32Error()); } where ctrl is a control on the form (it doesn't seem to matter what type of control), and Win32API has all the relevant imports: [DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern int SetParent(IntPtr childHwnd, IntPtr parentHwnd); [DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern int GetDesktopWindow(); [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, SetLastError=true)] public static extern int GetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex); I'm doing this as a precursor to making the control a custom drop-down of sorts (subsequent lines will set WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, HWND_TOPMOST, etc. and subclass the GWL_WNDPROC for mouse handling etc.), but I don't even get that far. In all cases GetWindowLong returns 0, and the Win32Error is 127 (which decodes as 'The specified procedure could not be found.') Anyone successfully done this from .NET?

    - capture the mouse (to grab the window content) [not with SetCapture and not with hooks] Hi there, I write a small applicaiton in C# to mimic the SnapShot/32 application functionality. I use Win32GDI rountines to grab the images and this is the easy part. The difficult part is to mimic the SnapS way of letting user to select a window he/she wants to snap. It works like this: 1. the user does whatever he wants in the system 2. he/she presses some hotkey (RegisterHotKey) and the SnapS gets active (but does not show its window) 3. instead the mouse cursor is globally changed to a cross and globally captured until the first click 4. when the user clicks a window, its image is captured my problem is the number 3. I've tried to capture the mouse with SetCapture/.Capture = true but it does not work when the capturing window is not a foreground window. I also try to change mouse cursor shape globally with no results. I am sure that SnapS does not use any hooks (and I also do not want to). the question is: how the described functionality is achieved? thanks for any clues, Wiktor Tag: VS build result as dll Tag: 65372

    - How To Load Bitmaps Hi All, I have a C# project, I added 2 bitmap images, 1.bmp and 2.bmp in the project by right clicking and using the add existing item dialog. The bmp files now appear in the solution explorer. My question is, do they get embedded in the assembly? When I use the code as System.Drawing.Bitmap b = (System.Drawing.Bitmap)Bitmap.FromFile("c:\\myimages\\1.bmp"); it loads the bitmap and works fine. There are 2 things, I do not want to hard code the path as somebody else might have the project somewhere else. Ideally I would want to load the image from the assembly, but when I do ResourceManager rm; rm = new ResourceManager("<MyAssemblyName>", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()); System.Drawing.Bitmap bt; bt = (System.Drawing.Bitmap)rm.GetObject("1.bmp"); it does not load the bitmap. I think I am missing something very basic over here. Can anybody point to what might be wrong? TIA, --Saurabh Tag: VS build result as dll Tag: 65359

    - keypress handling I need to implement keypress handler that works anywhere on a form (actually so long as I am on one of several tab pages on my form which is basically a tab control with 4 pages. Here is the problem - my TabControl.Keypress handler intercepts the keypress only of one of the grids on that same tab does not have focus. Essentially, once I select a row on a grid, my handler no longer receives keypresses, as they are now aparently directed to the selected grid. The handler is invoked if I am editing one of the edit controls. How can I intercept ALL keypresses within the form/tab page? Do I have to resort to the windows message handler?

    - Crystal Reports Problem: Please reply ASAP Hello All, I have a Windows application that uses Crystal Reports 9 (bundled Version) developed using VS.NET 2003 on a windows server 2003 m/c. The application has to be deployed on the client machine that has Windows XP installed. Before deploying we make sure that .NET framework 1.1 is installed on the XP machine. In the setup project, for support for Crystal Reports, we have added the following merge modules: 1)Crystal_Managed2003.msm 2) Crystal_Database_Access2003.msm 3)Crystal_Database_Access2003_enu.msm 4)Crystal_RegWiz2003.msm 5)VC_User_CRT71_RTL_X86.msm 6)VC_User_STL71_RTL_X86.msm The problem we are facing is like this: Whenever the user tries to pull up the reports, a database logon screen pops up for the report. I am unable to figure out as to why this is happening only for Crystal Reports. All the other functionality in the application is working fine without having to specify the database connection information interactively. The database server is not in the same network as this Client WinXP machine. We specify the IP address of the DB server in the DB connection string. Could this be a problem? If someone has faced this problem earlier or has any solution to this problem, do let me know. I need to resolve this problem ASAP. Thanks in advance Mithun Tag: VS build result as dll Tag: 65342

    - control binding problem (MS, please respond) I've run into a problem with binding form properties to data in an xml file (through a dataset). As it turns out, I can easily bind if the data type of the property on the control is a normal datatype such as a string or integer. If the datatype is not one of the built-in types however, things go horribly wrong. Consider this xml file: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <SettingsData> <one> <Text>Center</Text> </one> </SettingsData> If I create a normal winforms application and add the following code to the form's constructor, it works. I get "Center" in the text box. Here's the code that works: DataSet dataset; dataset = new DataSet(); dataset.ReadXml(@"d:\development\bindtest\form.xml"); TextBox textbox = new TextBox(); Binding binding = new Binding("Text", dataset, "one.Text"); textbox.DataBindings.Add(binding); textbox.Width = 150; textbox.Height = 50; textbox.Top = 50; textbox.Left = 50; textbox.Parent = this; this.Controls.Add(textbox); I hardcoded the size and placement of the text box, but I can easily get that from the xml as well. I encountered a problem when I tried to pull TextAlign from the xml file though. I know that this would require the use of Format, so I implemented that. I changed the xml from above to look like this: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <SettingsData> <one> <TextAlign>Center</TextAlign> </one> </SettingsData> And I changed the code from above to look like this (changed from Text to TextAlign, and added the convert event handler): DataSet dataset; dataset = new DataSet(); dataset.ReadXml(@"d:\development\bindtest\form.xml"); TextBox textbox = new TextBox(); Binding binding = new Binding("TextAlign", dataset, "one.TextAlign"); binding.Format += new ConvertEventHandler(FormatHorizontalAlignment); textbox.DataBindings.Add(binding); textbox.Width = 150; textbox.Height = 50; textbox.Top = 50; textbox.Left = 50; textbox.Parent = this; this.Controls.Add(textbox); I also added the Convert Event Handler: public void FormatHorizontalAlignment(object sender, ConvertEventArgs cevent) { switch((string)cevent.Value) { case "Center": cevent.Value = HorizontalAlignment.Center; break; case "Left": cevent.Value = HorizontalAlignment.Left; break; case "Right": cevent.Value = HorizontalAlignment.Right; break; } } This event handler looks right to me. I followed the example from the help files. I've made similar code work with other data types such as booleans being coverted from a T or F in the xml file. DesiredType shows HorizontalAlignment. When I run this code, oddly, the event handler is executed three times. Each time seems to execute correctly. Then I get an unhandled exception from the Application.Run(new Form1()); Error creating window handle. Can anyone tell me what's happening and how to fix it? I foresee I'll have the same problem trying to read the font name and size from the xml file. I have a workaround, but it's very unelegant. Here's the stack trace: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Error creating window handle. at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.CreateHandle(CreateParams cp) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateHandle() at System.Windows.Forms.TextBoxBase.CreateHandle() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmShowWindow(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ContainerControl.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WmShowWindow(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.DebuggableCallback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) at System.Windows.Forms.SafeNativeMethods.ShowWindow(HandleRef hWnd, Int32 nCmdShow) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.SetVisibleCore(Boolean value) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.SetVisibleCore(Boolean value) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.set_Visible(Boolean value) at System.Windows.Forms.ThreadContext.RunMessageLoopInner(Int32 reason, ApplicationContext context) at System.Windows.Forms.ThreadContext.RunMessageLoop(Int32 reason, ApplicationContext context) at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form mainForm) at bindtest.Form1.Main() in d:\development\bindtest\form1.cs:line 109 tia, brian Tag: VS build result as dll Tag: 65336

    - Panel Control Question I am stuck on something that must be simple. However, I have been searching the obvious places for several days but haven't come up with an answer: I have a Panel control with a custom designer. The designer creates several designer verbs. When a verb is selected, I want to instantiate a new Panel control on the 'base' Panel control, and allow the designer to edit the new Panel control (i.e., add other controls). The designer verbs work fine. However, if I simply use .Add to add a new Panel to the 'base' Panel the newly added Panel shows up on the UserControl but cannot be edited. On the other hand, if I simply drag a Panel control from the Toolbox to the 'base' Panel I can edit it--which is the behavior I want. The correct way to accomplish so it works this would be much appreciated! Tag: VS build result as dll Tag: 65332

    - Expamding empty ComboBox problem I have noticed the following problem. If you try to expand the drop-down list of a ComboBox (DropDownStyle=DropDown) with no items and immediately attempt to click another control (displayed underneath the combo box, not sure about other locations), nothing will happen. It takes several mouse clicks before you are finally able to select other dialog controls. My guess is that the combo box gets expanded, but since there are no items, the user does not see the list box portion of it, so if the user tries to click a check box, a button or some other control, this mouse click is obstructed by the expanded (but not visible) list box (this is just a guess, so it may happen for a totally different reason). This is very confusing for the customer, because it appears like the dialog is hanging (i.e. there is no response to the mouse clicks). Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

My question is that I want to know if there is a way to disable this without touching the default security settings in the .NET Framework 1.1 Configuration app. The point is not to have the client have to download anything extra to install or have them modify anything. How is this no touch deployment if you do? Thanks Tag: VS build result as dll Tag: 65303

    - Preventing user interaction while showing a "wait" cursor I have a form which performs some asynchronous code. I want to display a wait cursor when it starts, and hide the wait cursor when it has completed. This part works fairly well, using: this.TopLevelControl.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.WaitCursor; I also want to prevent user interaction with the controls on my form while the wait cursor is displayed, so that use events (except resize and cancel) are blocked. What is the recommended way of doing this in .NET? Thanks, Aaron Queenan. Tag: VS build result as dll Tag: 65292

    - Has an Event been Fired? When a control is clicked multiple events are fired in order. For example, clicking on a combobox dropdown button fires the Enter -> Got Focus -> Click event. In the "Enter" event handler is it possible to find out if the "Click" event is going to happen? I am trying to autoexpand the ComboBox dropdown when the control is entered. Private Sub cboComboBox_Enter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboComboBox.Enter cboComboBox.DroppedDown = True End Sub But if the ComboBox dropdown button is clicked the Enter event expands the list and the Click event then closes it. In my Enter event handler I was to find out if the Click event is going to happen to decide if I should expand the combo list Example: Private Sub cboComboBox_Enter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboComboBox.Enter If Not ControlHasBeenClick = True Then cboComboBox.DroppedDown = True End If End Sub Thanks, Hex Tag: VS build result as dll Tag: 65288

    - Debugging with Break option in windows forms I am trying to break into the VS debugger on unhandled exceptions in a form. I have tried setting and removing the jit settings in the application config file and in the options dialog. All I get on unhandled errors is the dialog with continue and quit - not with break. Isn't there a way to move from an application with debug build run from within VS to the line raising the exception? I am getting the stack trace info in the dialog which does not help with the condition that I am attempting to debug. Ken Tag: VS build result as dll Tag: 65286

    - Building My Own DataSource Control hi All, I'm hoping to build my own datasource control, and hoped that someone would point me in the right direction to start. I have already created a class, which accepts a form, a tablename, a connection and a collection of field object (which contain information about which field binds to which form control). I build all this in code, and then the class gets a dataset, binds the controls to it, and allows modifiaction and updates etc. then saves them back to the database. However, I'd like to build a control, which would automate all of this, by getting the fields at design time, and allowing the user to bind the fields and then the user could simply change the connection string at run-time to point to the correct database when deployed. I am trying to kind of replicate the method by which you build bound forms in access. Any pointers to articles, or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks Alex Tag: VS build result as dll Tag: 65280

Select the project in the solution explorer and go to "Project" ->
"Properties". Somewhere in the properties (it depends on which
programming language you use) you can change the output type.
