    - FolderBrowserDialog won't accept the My Documents (or below) folder for the selectedpath I want to set the selectedpath in the folderbrowserdialog to a subdirectory of my "My Music" folder, yet allow the user to traverse higher than that in the directory if they want (in other words I don't want to set the root folder to this My Music, I want to set it to My Computer). But when I use a selected path that goes to My Documents or below, it doesn't accept it. Now what I mean by doesn't accept, it doesn't return an error, it just doesn't open up that node. When I try to drill down past my documents, it just leaves me at the root. It works fine (selectedpath) up to the point of my username (or other subdirs past my username other than my documents), then after that, doesn't. I'm thinking that maybe it's some type of ACL issue, but I can use directory.getdirectories to list the directories just fine. The code is as follows: Dim fb As FolderBrowserDialog = New FolderBrowserDialog fb.RootFolder = SpecialFolder.MyComputer fb.SelectedPath = "c:\documents and settings\danhi\my documents" fb.ShowDialog() This fails to expand any of the nodes in the display. If I replace the selectedpath with something like "c:\documents and settings\danhi\start menu" that works just fine. Anyone have any idea what my problem is?

    - Topmost Tool Window Greetings, I have a vb.net app, and I have a tool window that I was to be topmost while the application is in focus, but not stay on top of other apps that get the focus. Basically, I want it to behave like the tool windows in Photoshop. How do I set the attributes to do this? Thanks for your help!

    - Arrow Key behavior for a Textbox inside a DataGrid I have a DataGrid, with a custom ColumnStyle that displays a user control. The user control has several TextBoxes on it. I would like these TextBoxes to act like normal textboxes with regards to the arrow keys--right and left would move the cursor, holding down shift would highlight text, etc. I can inherit from TextBox, and override the ProcessCmdKey and do all this explicitly, but that seems a lot like re-inventing the wheel. Is there another way to do this that essentially just tells the DataGrid to treat the TextBox like a real TextBox? Thanks Tag: How to change font, size and style of a label programatically Tag: 90095

    - SystemTray Balloon Window suppressed with fullscreen apps? I read that the system tray balloon window will be suppressed when there's a fullscreen app running like a game or PowerPoint presentation. I've personally verified this behavior, but it doesn't seem to be smart enough to know that the task bar is on a second monitor. It just seems to check that a fullscreen app is running "somewhwere" and supresses the balloon notification. How do I suppress this behavior? I want the balloon windows to show whether there's a fullscreen app running or not. I'm using the NotifyIconEx C# control posted on CodeProject. It's pretty much a C# wrapper for the Shell_NotifyIcon() API call. I've looked at the common controls docs in MSDN and didn't see any flags or options in the NOTIFYICONDATA structure that would imply I could control that behavior. Any ideas? Or am I stuck with the default behavior? Thanks, Terry Tag: How to change font, size and style of a label programatically Tag: 90094

    - Autoscroll scrollbar thumb position being reset upon focus change Given the following Form with a panel with autoscroll set to true and with enough controls at different locations to cause autoscrolling to be visibly on, there is a slight annoyance with the behavior of the scrollbar upon switching focus to another window -- the scrollbar thumb position automatically gets reset to zero upon the Form getting the focus back. When I open standard windows apps like Microsoft Word and scroll down a document and then lose focus by switching to another application and then regain the focus on that Word document, the scrollbar thumb position is same as it was upon losing focus. Is this a bug/feature that I need to work around by saving off the thumb position in the Control.LostFocus event handler and restore in the Control.GotFocus event handler? Or is there some super simple way like a property setting - (the more I learn C#, the more I realize that some things are ridiculously simple if you know what property to use -- e.g. using Control.UseWaitCursor property of a container control instead of having to worry about setting the Cursor property to WaitCursor for each control contained by that container). <code> using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace autoScrollTest { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { Panel p = new Panel(); this.Controls.Add(p); p.AutoScroll = true; for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { Button btn = new Button(); btn.Visible = true; btn.Text = "Button " + i; btn.Location = new Point(0,i * btn.Height); p.Controls.Add(btn); } } } } </code> Tag: How to change font, size and style of a label programatically Tag: 90086

    - Resources Hi, I am developing a Windows Form app, that has graphical buttons. Obviously I use the same button more than once throuout the application, but Visual Studio would appear to embed a set of images for each button into the program resources, instead of using a commen one. If I can make it use a common copy, I could reduce the size of my final exe file quite considerably. Is there a way I can edit this, and what is the best way to do it? Thanks.

    - Drag/Drop an Image from a Web Browset I've implemented a drag & drop operation which allows an image (or a file containing an image) to be dropped onto a custom control. This works fine on dragging an image file already on my hard drive, but on dragging an Image from any web page in a web browser, I'm getting an "Out of memory" exception thrown, but there appears to be plenty of memory left. Why could this be happening ? NB. On dragging a web image, files[0] contains a reference to the image in my web cache (in short directory format), for example: "C:\\DOCUME~1\\JEREMYB\\LOCALS~1\\TEMP\\DisplayBannerImage.gif" Could this be why ? If so how CAN I implement dragging an image from a web browser ? Here's the relevant sections of code: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); AlbumControl ac = new AlbumControl(p, atype, AutoLookup, cwidth /*, false*/); ac.AllowDrop = true; ac.DragDrop += new DragEventHandler(ac_DragDrop); ac.DragEnter += new DragEventHandler(ac_DragEnter); } private void ac_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e) { Image droppedImage = null; // Handle FileDrop data. if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop)) { // Assign the file names to a string array, in // case the user has selected multiple files. string[] files = (string[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop); try { // Assign the first image to the picture variable. droppedImage = Image.FromFile(files[0]); } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); return; } } AlbumControl ac = (AlbumControl)sender; if (droppedImage != null) { // DO SOMETHING WITH IMAGE !! ac.MainImage = droppedImage; } // Force the control to be redrawn with the image. ac.Invalidate(); } private void ac_DragEnter(object sender, DragEventArgs e) { // If the data is a file or a bitmap, display the copy cursor. if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop)) { e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy; } else { e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None; } } Tag: How to change font, size and style of a label programatically Tag: 90079

Regularly I have comment like that: - (me): hum.. there is no shadow object in .NET's Graphic's object. - (him): what? but that's standart (mac) stuff!!! or - (me): well, the default RichTextBox doesn't handle kerning (character spacing). - (him): what? but that standart feature of Text editor! and that goes on...... that kind of irk me as well.

    - Listview, reselect previous item, Delegates, Invokes Win32, Postmessage etc. I've got a listview on a form in report style. It's populated with 40 items. I want to prevent the user clicking on some items, and if the user clicks on one of these items I want the selection to revert back to the old selection, hideselection property if false, listview is single select. In the OnSelectedChange() handler I test to see if the newly selected item is a selectable one, if it's not, I try to change the selection like so. private void OnSelectedItemChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { if( listView1.SelectedItems.Count != 0 ) { int idx = listView1.SelectedItems[0].Index; bool ret = execScript.isExecutable(idx); if(ret == false) { listView1.Items[execScript.getCurrentExecNum()].Selected = true; listView1.Select(); listView1.EnsureVisible(execScript.getCurrentExecNum()); listView1.Focus(); } } This doesn't work. Neither does posting a user message to this function by overriding the WndProc and calling Win32 [DllImport("user32.Dll")] public static extern Int32 PostMessage(IntPtr Handle, Int32 ConnectionType, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam); ResetSelection() { listView1.Items[execScript.getCurrentExecNum()].Selected = true; listView1.Select(); listView1.EnsureVisible(execScript.getCurrentExecNum()); listView1.Focus(); } Neither does using a delegate like this listView1.BeginInvoke(new OnSelectedItemChangedDelegate(ResetSelection),null); Neither does adding a filter on to the listview control and trapping the LVN_ITEMCHANGING or LVN_ITEMCHANGED message in the WM_NOTIFY. Interesting to note though if I add a button to the form and call my ResetSelection() function it works fine. Three days I've spent on this. Can anyone help? Thanks Youngie...

    - PropertyGrid and UITypeEditor Hi! So I've created a custom class and I'm working on creating editor support for it. I've created and bound a custom UITypeEditor to it and everything. Here's the thing though: At design time, the property editor shows the little ... button next to a property of my type. I can clikc the button and a dialog pops up which I created. This is good and works as I expected. Here's the problem - at run time, I have a property grid control and I have SelectedObject set to an instance of an object which has a member of my type. However, when I select the property at run time using a propertygrid control on my form, the property is greyed out as if it was readonly, and the ... box doesn't show up.

    - How to force a datagrid to redraw? Hi, I've a datagrid bound to a dataview, the problem is when I cancel the row delete, one of the rows in the datagrid disppears. If there is only one row in the grid that row disappears. If there are three rows and I cancel the deletion of the first row then the last row will disappear. The funniest part is the row will reappear if I click on the column header to sort it. I read another post in this forum which mentioned forcing the grid to redraw after cancelling the delete will solve the problem, but I can't find a way to force the redraw. I've tried grid.refresh, currencymanager.refresh, even cleared the databinding and rebound the grid, nothing happens. Can someone help me please.

    - Keeping track of checked nodes in treeview Hi I have a treeview where I want to perform some actions on only the checked nodes. I don't really want to have to traverse the entire tree every time, since it's a pretty big tree, so what I was trying to do was keep a list of all the checked nodes - I handle the aftercheck event so that every time a node is checked I add it to my list, and when it's unchecked I remove it from my list. This can become clumsy, though - for example, if I want to programmatically uncheck some nodes, I can't just iterate through my list and uncheck them, since that will modify the collection that I'm enumerating through. Is there a better approach that I'm missing? Tag: How to change font, size and style of a label programatically Tag: 90051

    - owner drawn ListBox repaint issues I am using variable height owner-drawn ListBox using new Visual Studio 2005 Beta. It appears to not repaint items in ListBox until I actually select them.

    - *insert curse here* Hi I have a simple app where the user is prompted with a password dialog. When the password is being entered, the cursor is hidden as I assume is default XP behavior. The problem is when the user closes the dialog pressing the enter key (without any mouse movements done) the cursor will only reappear again when a mouse button has been clicked, not only by mouse movements. I have tried putting a Application.DoEvents() after the dialog closes but that only solves the problem when the cursor is located above the parent form. If the cursor is outside, it still won't reappear when moved back over the form. Any known reason for this? /Andreas Zita Tag: How to change font, size and style of a label programatically Tag: 90024

    - Serializing changes made to control via custom designer to source Got a custom designer that changes the arrangement of subcontrols in a custom control. It works fine, but if I save the form/rebuild the solution, exit out, and re-open the form, the subcontrols are back to their original place. I know I have to change how the custom control is serialized back to the code, and I believe it has something to do with Type Converters, but all I can find is information on how to serialize properties. Since this is not a property, but the order subcontrols are added to the custom control, I don't know how to deal with this. How do I go about doing this? TIA.

    - How can I remove the System Menu? I have a mdiparent form without any controls. It contains one midchild form. When the mdichild form maximizes, its System Menu appears (in upper left and right corners) and the system menu occupies part of the mdiparent form. Is there any way to remove the system menu and the part occupied? Thank you very much. Tag: How to change font, size and style of a label programatically Tag: 90012

    - Siziing UserControls via a custom ControlDesigner We need to know which edge of a UserControl is being stretched when in design mode. We've created our own CustomControlDesigner, derived from ControlDesigner for our UserControl. We can't find a way to determine which edge of the Designer/Control is being stretched when the control is being resized in design mode. We want to resize different fields within the UserControl, based on the edge being dragged. There does not appear to be a way to get a mouse-down event before the resize to see which edge the user is being dragged. Any Ideas?

    - LongHorn Style Windows Form Hi Guys, After seeing a longhorn screen shot, I got excited by its windows style. The form of it is half transparent, and the client area is opaque.

    - .NET - MDI - Container - (Internet Explorer) ActiveX loses parent Hi everyone, We are currently developing an application in C# which has MDI forms. Each MDI form has a detach-button which removes the form from its parent and displays it as a regular form. In .NET, you can use the System.Windows.Forms.Form.MdiParent property. Everything seems to work when regular .NET controls are part of the MDI form. However, if there's an ActiveX control on the form, it loses its parent and gets drawn somewhere on the screen, floating, not part of the MDI parent and not part of the MDI form. This is the case with for example the Internet Explorer ActiveX (shdocvw), the Remote Desktop ActiveX (msrdp) and probably a lot of others. We did not have that problem with a third-party component, which seems to remember its direct parent. I guess we forgot something in the approach on how to handle the microsoft ActiveXs. Has anybody a clue for this problem? We already checked every property of the AxHost and Form (container, toplevelcontrol, toplevel, parent, ...) but they're all updated correctly after the detach. We also tried to toy with the SetChildIndex function... Here are the important snippets of a sample application, full source upon request. Project consists of 2 forms, MainForm (the MDI parent) and ChildForm (the MDI child). --- MainForm Load event : Start --- this.IsMdiContainer = true; ChildForm child = new ChildForm(); child.MdiParent = this; child.ShowInTaskbar = false; child.Show(); child.ChangeUrl(); --- MainForm Load event : Stop --- ChildForm has one button (DetachButton) and an Internet Explorer ActiveX (Microsoft Web Browser from the Microsoft Internet Controls) --- ChildForm : DetachButton event : Start --- private void DetachButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { this.MdiParent = null; this.ShowInTaskbar = true; ChangeUrl(); } --- ChildForm : DetachButton event : Stop --- --- ChildForm : Public method : Start --- public void ChangeUrl() { axWebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.microsoft.com"); } --- ChildForm : Public method : Stop --- Run the application and the MDI form will show the microsoft-website. Click detach and the form will be detached from its parent. The ActiveX starts floating and is not part of the ChildForm anymore. Thanks for your time!

    - Performance of Panel.Control.Clear Hello folks, for showing data from my database i use a Master-Panel which have added Detail-Panels for each row of the dataset. Inserting the Detail-Panels running this code disDetails.Controls.Clear() For Each r As DataRow In myDataSet Dim p As myDetailPanel p = New myDetailPanel(r) p.Dock = DockStyle.Top disDetails.Controls.Add(p) p.SendToBack() Next If i chance to the next Masterrecord and displaying the new Detailrows (maximum 15 rows) i have to wait 1-5 seconds. Cause of this bad performance I inserted "Debug.Writeline(Datetime.now.ticks)" and found that most of this time (80%) will used for running the Controls.Clear() statement.

    - Not sure of the subject... I have an app that allows users to supply custom values for various calculations; about 43 of them. I use checkboxes to identify the use or lack there of, of a custom value. I need to be able to tell when the check state changes. Instead of coding for each one of the 43 check boxes and text boxes, I'd like to have one sub that checks. I thought I would just add the name of the textbox to the checkbox tag and ctype it but I get an invalid cast exception. Here's what I am trying to accomplish: Private Sub chkFlightBlock_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkFlightBlock.CheckedChanged, ...., ...., chkAnotherCustom Dim ctl As TextBox ctl = CType(sender, CheckBox).Tag ctl.Enabled = CType(sender, CheckBox).Checked If CType(sender, CheckBox).Checked Then ctl.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Window Else ctl.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control End If End Sub In essence, I'd like to store the name of the textbox in the checkbox and handle my code in one area instead of many different subs. Any help would be great. Thanks, Brian Tag: How to change font, size and style of a label programatically Tag: 89990

    - How to run method on Form Load? The method I want to run when my (Windows Forms app) form loads is an event triggered by a radio button selection: private void optColors_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) But when the form is loading, there is no sender - so the below code fails: RadioButton opt = (RadioButton)sender; //exception if (opt.Checked) { string strOpt = opt.Name; setCbo(strOpt); } What I need to do is somehow check if the sender is there, and if not, set strOpt to a default value - something like this: if (sender) //pseudo code { RadioButton opt = (RadioButton)sender; } else { //code to run on Form Load only RadioButton opt = this.optColors; } if (opt.Checked) { string strOpt = opt.Name; setCbo(strOpt); } How do I check for a valid sender? Do I check for EventArgs e instead? Thanks in advance. Tag: How to change font, size and style of a label programatically Tag: 89983

    - Validating grid data Hi, I am using the winforms datagrid and want to validate the data in the cells as I leave them. If the data is invalid I want to notify the user and focus him back on that cell. I have a number of textbox columns and one combobox column. I configured those fine with the column grid styles and have validation code hooked up to them. My problem is getting back to the cell that was just validated. I use the CurrentCellChanged event to capture the cell change but the CurrentCell property indicates the new cell. I would like to set the focus back to the cell that failed validation but I can't seem to figure out where that information might be saved. I can kludge the recording of the cell prior to the cell change, but it isn't convenient. Also, the validation event doesn't get triggered unless the column changes. Is there a way to get the validation event going in this case? I'm brute-forcing a call to it from the CurrentCellChanged event. It seems to me that there must be a better way. Thanks in advance for all your help. -George Tag: How to change font, size and style of a label programatically Tag: 89982

I am trying to change a lables font at runtime.

When I sent the labels font to New Font ("Andy",16,2) it wont allow be to
set the style(2)
If I remove the style it errors because the font does not support the style
regular.

This has to be easy....What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You probably need to specify an enumeration value and not a number.

lable.Font = new Font("Andy", 16f, FontStyle.Bold);
