    - ClickOnce - Website Deployment - Authenticated Access We are deploying our Smart Client APP to our external vendors via ClickOnce and an IIS6 virtual directory. Since the deployment is visible to the Internet, we have protected the deployment site using Integrated Windows authentication without anonymous access and enumerated the authorized users in the site's web.config. This works fine until the .application is launched from the ClickOnce publish.htm page. Then the ClickOnce installer tries to contact the protected website using the credentials of the logged on user and not the credentials that the user provided to authenticate to IIS. The result is an installation failure with "401 Unauthorized" given as the reason. The "Stored User Names and Passwords" feature avoids this problem in Windows XP Pro, but doesn't help us for other target operating systems like Windows 2000 and Windows XP Home. Is there a way to tell the ClickOnce installer to run under a predefined identity? Is they a better way to protect the deployment site that is more ClickOnce friendly? Any advice would be appreciated. Tag: How to constrain height in ListView like control in designer? Tag: 109696

    - Non MDI plugin framework I wanted to know if anyone has any ideas for me. I've been through the steps to create an MDI application but need to take that concept further. Let's assume we have a simple windows application with a simple form. I need to get rid of the form and only have the .vb file but still have the vb file working with the controls on the form as if they existed. Next I would set the "Output type" for compiling to Class Library so that'll all I'll get in the end is one DLL. Now for the framework. The framework should look at a specified directory and loop through the files placed within. The main form of the framework app would use the tab control and add a new tab for each .dll it comes across in that directory. The dll would be as mentioned above. This DLL then needs to draw the controls that would've normally been there had we left the form and left it as a windows application. It needs to draw these controls on the tab page where it is loaded. The framework would also pass in information about the database and what not but that should be really easy. The main thing I'm having trouble with is creating something that is not a windows form but has events linked to controls like windows form but then draws these controls when it's loaded into another form. Maybe I have only the code that does specific things and then draw the controls and then write and wireup some event handlers????? I've tried loading the form as a control into the tab page but of course I get the error about not being able to load a form into a form. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!!!!!

    - anchor ListBox to FlowLayoutPanel that Fills the Form When I anchor a ListBox directly to the Form the ListBox widens as the Form is widened. But when anchor the ListBox to a FlowLayoutPanel which in turn is DockStyle.Fill in the Parent Form, the flow panel widens as the Form is widened, but the ListBox gets left behind, never growing in size. here is the code. Does anchor work as expected in a nested setting like this? thanks, -Steve public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); // the ListBox does not widen as I widen the form. FlowLayoutPanel flow = AddFlowLayoutToForm(this); AddListBoxToControl(flow); return ; // if this code is run, the ListBox does widen as the form is widened.

    - Using IMenuCommandService I have application that is using IDesignerHost so my users can design dashboards at runtime. I got the Design and NameCreation, Selection and UI services working but I cannot get IMenuCommandService implemented. I have found examples but it looks like they are all for component integration in the IDE. Does anybody know of some examples for my scenario? Also, does the app have to use System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu in order to use IMenuCommandService or can a 3rd party menu tool like Infragistics be used?

    - Validating/Focus problem I have a Form with two TextBox's, I validate first one: private void textBox1_Validating( object sender, CancelEventArgs e ) { if( String.IsNullOrEmpty( textBox1.Text ) ) { DialogResult res = MessageBox.Show( "Retry?", "Error: empty value", MessageBoxButtons.RetryCancel ); e.Cancel = ( res == DialogResult.Retry ); } } Pressing "Retry" button, we can correct the value; the problem is that second TextBox reives Focus after validation method! (raising unwanted application logic); This seems due to "MessageBox.Show" (setting 'e.Cancel = true' without MessageBox.Show works correctly) Why this? Am I missing something? Thank you.

    - Drawing Custom Control Past Form Edge I'm creating a UserControl that is essentially a button that displays a panel when it is clicked. It will behave similar to a ComboBox, but requires a custom look. Both the Button and the Panel are defined in the designer, and I set each elements Visible key to match the state I want. I can't get the panel to display past the bottom of the Form. The Form has no border. One thing that almost works is to change the Height of the form so the panel will fit when needed at runtime. I use the TransparencyKey so the blank space should be invisible. This creates a temporary but nasty blip of color where the new form boundaries are. How does a control like a ComboBox paint itself past a Form's edge? How can I mimic this functionality with a my own UserControl. I'm sorry if this is documented somewhere, I couldn't find to proper search terms. thanks, townes Tag: How to constrain height in ListView like control in designer? Tag: 109621

    - Opinion wanted Hi there, Is there a general approach for preventing users from selecting a menu item in an SDI or MDI application whenever the current field on your form is invalid (assuuming the app consists of a data entry form). In my case, I'm working with a "DataGridView" which occupies the entire child window of an MDI app but the problem likely applies to any control. If you've entered invalid data into a "TextBox" field of a form for instance (in my case a grid cell), it's likely that most if not all items in your menus as well as most hotkeys should be off-limits until the user corrects the field. Without taking great pain to prevent users from gaining access to these items however (it's not always trivial), is there an easier approach. Thanks.

If I do not populate it with children then the expand/collapse bitmap does not appear. So, my question is how do I make the expand/collapse bitmap appear without actually adding any children nodes?

    - axWebBrowser control and javascript errors hi all, Has anyone come across working code for a Windows Forms application that uses AxWebBrowser control and is capable of intercepting and dealing with the 'Internet Explorer Script Error' (An error has occured in the script on this page') type errors. I know the WebBrowser control (the one that comes by default in Visual Studio Toolbox) has 'ScriptErrorsSuppressed' property that seems to achieve just that, but I don't have much time left for re-implementation. After doing some searching on the web, some of the possible solutions that I've seen included: 1) setting aXWebBrowser.Silent = true at an appropriate time. The downside of this approach is that some of the pop-ups are useful, such as authentication prompts etc. 2) implementing IOleDocumentSite, IOleClientSite and IDocHostShowUI interfaces and using IDocHostShowUI::ShowMessage for the purpose of intercepting the message box. I have attempted this but am yet to see the ShowMessage function invoked... 3) implementing IOleCommandTarget and the QueryStatus and Exec methods, and then watching out for the Exec invocation with OLECMDID_SHOWSCRIPTERROR. From what I understand this behaviour doesn't work if Disable Script Debugging check box is cleared in Internet Explorer settings. apologies that this post is not actually directly related to HtmlEditor :| regards, Greg Tag: How to constrain height in ListView like control in designer?

    - Cannot call Invoke or InvokeAsync on a control I have some sort of a concurrency problem that has me stumped. I have a form (actually several) that run background worker threads from the OnLoad method. Sometimes... occasionally... I get a crash dump from a user that indicates that I "cannot call Invoke or InvokeAsync on a control until the window handle has been created." Now, never mind that by the time OnLoad runs, the window handle should already be created. I decided that, hey, if that's the problem then I'll just patch it. My patched code is below. As you can see, in the DoBackgroundWork method I added a test for control.IsHandleCreated, and then if it's not I do a control.CreateControl. However, even after this patch I had a crash this morning with this same annoying message. 2007-03-01 06:36:54Z User mm_tboos on PRICTX99, running M:\program files\StockCodeGenerator\StockCodeGenerator.exe (StockCodeGenerator version 2.4.2615.30559) received the following exception: 2007-03-01 06:36:54Z System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot call Invoke or InvokeAsync on a control until the window handle has been created. 2007-03-01 06:36:54Z at System.Windows.Forms.Control.MarshaledInvoke(Control caller, Delegate method, Object[] args, Boolean synchronous) 2007-03-01 06:36:54Z at System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke(Delegate method, Object[] args) 2007-03-01 06:36:54Z at Agama.Controls.BackgroundWorkParameters.DoBackgroundWork(Object parameter) Do I have misconceptions about when handle creation happens?

    - Error When Trying to copy a row from a datagrid Hi, I have a vb.net windows form with a datagrid, and I am simply trying to click on a row, hit CTRL-C to copy and then CTRL-P to paste it somewhere else. This works fine for individual cells. When I try it with an entire row however, I get the following error: DataGridColumnStyle of '' cannot be used because it is not associated with a Property or Column in the DataSource.

    - Opening MDI Child From MDI Child Form, like VisStudio Start Page Hi, I have an MDI application which contains a start page with a listview of items in it that can be used to click on and open as a child form. So the start page is the child at start up of form. However, when I try to open another child from this start form it opens ok, but will not show or focus on the new form, it keeps coming back to itself? Why would this be? I open the form like so from the start page. MPE.PolForm polWin = new MPE.PolForm(); polWin.Show(); and then in the polForm I do this.MdiParent = mainForm; and mainForm.windowManagerPanel1.AddWindow(this) Any ideas? The windowManagerPanel1 is a tabbed form control that behaves like visual studio 2005. Why does it always go back to the start form and not show the new created form.

    - Problem with label word wrap and accented characters Hi, It seems that the .NET Label control incorrectly wraps words at accented characters (or non-ascii characters in general). The same is observed when using Graphics.DrawString() directly. I am using .NET Framework 1.1. The text "Vous obtiendrez une meilleure traduction en Ã©vitant les abrÃ©viations et les tournures familiÃ¨res." is wrapped by the label as follows: Vous obtiendrez une meilleure traduction en Ã©[\n] vitant les abrÃ©viations et les tournures familiÃ¨[\n] res If I simply remove the diacritics, it wraps correctly: Vous obtiendrez une meilleure traduction en[\n] evitant les abreviations et les tournures[\n] familieres I also observe incorrect word wrapping when using the Greek alphabet. Where can I find information about this problem? Is there a solution? Thank you, Bret Tag: How to constrain height in ListView like control in designer? Tag: 109550

    - AutoResizeColumns in a DataGridView Hi All VS 2005 SP1 I use a DataGridView to display some figures. I have a cellpainting event that displays a couple of numbers in bold and other numbers in regular font style. When i double click the Column devider it resizes the column so that the regular formated columns fit in but not the bold formated columns. What is te best workaround for this problem? I tryed overwritting the ColumnDividerDoubleClick event: private void gridEditColumn_ColumnDividerDoubleClick(object sender, DataGridViewColumnDividerDoubleClickEventArgs e) { Font font = new Font(gridEditColumn.DefaultCellStyle.Font, FontStyle.Bold); Graphics g = gridEditColumn.CreateGraphics(); Size s; int width = 0; for (int i = 0; i < gridEditColumn.Rows.Count; i++) { s = g.MeasureString(gridEditColumn.Rows[i].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].FormattedValue.ToString(), font).ToSize(); if (width < s.Width) { width = s.Width; } } gridEditColumn.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Width = width; e.Handled = true; } but the width i get is still to small so that the bold value doesn't fit in... i'm scared to just add a couple of pixels to the width...or do i have to do so? is there a better way to do it? thanks for your help. jahrens Tag: How to constrain height in ListView like control in designer?

    - Europe Tests Established Chemicals on Millions of Animals Tony Nottingham England 28 February 2007 TO: All People Who Care A new European Chemical Testing Policy called REACH has now been finalised by the European Union. Under these proposals Chemicals of every kind - from those used in industrial processes to the ingredients of consumer products - will be tested on Millions of animals from mice to fish to dogs, causing untold suffering. Still worse, because of this reliance on outdated animal techniques, reliable and relevant information will not be provided and our safety will not be assured. If you believe that REACH should make more use of Alternative Testing to test 1000s of Chemicals that have been in general use since before 1985 then please take action now. If you are a European citizen please contact your local papers and own MEP asking them to promote the development of humane non-animal testing methods under the REACH legislation, which is the best hope we have for sparing animals the misery of a testing laboratory. A sample letter can be found at the BUAV (British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection) website at www.BUAV.org (Select Campaigns, Chemical Testing, Get Active then Writing to the local press). For all Non-European members, you can still help. Please tell all your colleagues and friends in the UK and Europe about REACH. Write to your own local papers to try and inform others about what is going on in Europe. The website for the European Parliament is http://www.europarl.europa.eu. Information on REACH, the New European Chemical Testing Policy can be found here. Everyone can help and you can make a difference.

    - .NET application error I'm sorry to post here, but the MCP Partner Hotline stated I had to try the managed newsgroups on this issue. If this is the wrong board, please direct me to the correct one. I'm trying to use the Microsoft Certified Partner "Small Business Assessment Toolkit" found at https://partner.microsoft.com/assesssmbneeds and I have met the prerequisites by having XP Pro SP2, .NET Framework 2.0, and Infopath 2007 installed. When I try to run the install for this assessment tool, the application installation begins normally, but stops quickly into the install with the error: "Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that the assembly System.AddIn.Contract Version 2.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first." I have no idea how to get this assembly installed. Can anyone help me on this? I appreciate your time. Thanks. Tag: How to constrain height in ListView like control in designer? Tag: 109540

Hi everybody,

I am developing a ListView / ListBox / TreeView like Control for .NET
CF. I was wondering how to make the designer constrain the height to
multiples of the basic line height - pretty much the way this is done
with a ListBox control when resized in the designer.

(It works without, but it would be a lot easier, if the designer would
allow only usefull heights)

TIA Tilman

One thing you might try is in your derived control, override
OnSizeChanged and restrict the size at that point if you are in design
mode.

protected override void OnSizeChanged(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnSizeChanged(e);
if (this.DesignMode && this.Height > 300)
this.Height = 300;
}
