    - Round edge panel: edges not smooth I am creating a round edge panel by inheriting from the panel. What I do is create a graphics path with desired shape and in the Paint method I fill the graphics path and draw the graphics path border with desired color. This would look as if the panel has round edges. So far I have not set the region. Bounds of the panel is still the rectangle. But the problem come when I set the region of the panel to the Graphics path region. It would not draw the borders( especially left and bottom) properly, it would not draw the curves properly. Also if I set the background image , the image is not smooth along the borders even though I set smoothing mode to AntiAliasing . Any ideas on why it is behaving this way would be greately appreciated. Here is the code in Paint method protected override void OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e) { Graphics gr = e.Graphics; gr.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias; if(_roundedCorners) { // clear background with the parent's backcolor before drawing the round edges gr.Clear(Parent.BackColor); gr.DrawPath(_borderPen, _roundedEdge); // now fill with actual color gr.FillPath( _graphicsPathBrush,_roundedEdge); // setting the region of the control this.Region = new Region( _roundedEdge); // this is where the problem comes } } Here is the method where I create the path protected void CreatePaths() { // Create _roundedEdge _roundedEdge = new GraphicsPath(); _roundedEdge.AddLine(_topLeftEdgeRadius, 0, Width - _topRightEdgeRadius - 1, 0); _roundedEdge.AddArc(Width - _topRightEdgeRadius - 1 - _topRightEdgeRadius, _topRightEdgeRadius - _topRightEdgeRadius, 2 *_topRightEdgeRadius, 2 *_topRightEdgeRadius, -90, 90); _roundedEdge.AddLine(Width - 1, _topRightEdgeRadius, Width - 1, Height - _bottomRightEdgeRadius - 1); _roundedEdge.AddArc(Width - _bottomRightEdgeRadius - 1 - _bottomRightEdgeRadius, Height - _bottomRightEdgeRadius - 1 - _bottomRightEdgeRadius, 2 *_bottomRightEdgeRadius, 2 *_bottomRightEdgeRadius, 0, 90); _roundedEdge.AddLine(Width - _bottomRightEdgeRadius - 1, Height - 1, _bottomLeftEdgeRadius,Height - 1); _roundedEdge.AddArc(0, Height - _bottomLeftEdgeRadius - 1 - _bottomLeftEdgeRadius, 2 *_bottomLeftEdgeRadius, 2 *_bottomLeftEdgeRadius, 90, 90); _roundedEdge.AddLine(0,Height - _bottomLeftEdgeRadius - 1, 0, _topLeftEdgeRadius); _roundedEdge.AddArc(0, 0, 2 *_topLeftEdgeRadius, 2 *_topLeftEdgeRadius, 180, 90); } Thanks, VPMahank.

    - Strange behaviour of Form.WindowState.Maximized in Form.Activate event Hi, I am experiencing problem with changing the Form.WindowState property of the Child form in the MDI Winform Application. If I change the 'WindowState' property to 'Form.WindowState.Maximized ' in the Form Activate event of the MDI child form I will get double Control/System menu box for this form. By closing the form there is Control/System menu box left behind. If I repeat the process the number of Control/System menu boxes grows. I am expecting that each form can have only one Control/System menu box. Is this a defect or did I forget to take something into account? Is there known hot fix for this behaviour e.g. another way to maximise MDI child form in Activate Event? I am using VS 2003, .NET 1.1 with SP1, PC is W2K with SP4. Please see my demo below. Thanks Viliam Batka PS: Regardless of unexpected visual effect it can indicates possible memory leak. //=DEMO============================================== // Description: // *Demo for Strange behaviour of FormWindowState.Maximized // in Form.Activate event. // *This C# example is possible to compile as console application // with references to System.Windows.Forms. // Author: Viliam Batka using System; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace ViliamBatka.MdiTest { class MDI_Test { [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { // create MDI main form Form fMDI = new Form(); fMDI.Activated += new System.EventHandler(OpenMultipleChildren); fMDI.IsMdiContainer=true; Application.Run(fMDI); } // open multiple MDI childer static void OpenMultipleChildren(Object sender, System.EventArgs e) { for (int i=1;i<10;i++) { Form fChild = new Form(); // add event handler fChild.Activated += new System.EventHandler(Child_Activated); fChild.MdiParent = (Form)sender; fChild.Show(); fChild.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal; } Form f = (Form)sender; f.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; } // maximize Child Form at Activate event static void Child_Activated(Object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Form f = (Form)sender; f.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; } } } //=END DEMO========================================= Tag: control validation problem Tag: 96117

    - Problem with CenterParent property Hi All, I have a windows application that has a form that gets sized based on the content of a rich text control. I've set the StartPosition of the form to CenterParent. In design mode the form is about 700 pixels wide. I've handled the SizeChanged event of the richtextbox to set the width of the form. Now the problem I'm facing is that when the form is displayed for the first time the left/top position is calculated on the basis of the original dimensions of the form and not the changed ones. Due to this it does not appear centered in the parent form, though .NET thinks that it positioned the form in the center as it is used the original dimensions to calculate the left/top position. After dismissing the form and opening it again will correctly center it within the parent form, because the width got changed the first time and now the CenterParent is calculated properly. But I want it centered the first time round and everytime. Thanks in advance. SK Tag: control validation problem Tag: 96100

    - How to use MaskBlt operation in GDI+ Hi, I want to copy some portion of a bitmap(source bitmap) to another bitmap(destination bitmap) using a reference mask bitmap. This task can be acomplished in GDI using MaskBlt function. Is there any such function in GDI+ for doing the same? I saw Bob's "Extract a region from a bitmap" article. In that we are creating region based on the given color and setting it as the region for the form. But in my case, I have the reference mask bitmap. If a particular pixel in the mask bitmap is "WHITE", the corresponding pixel value available in the source bitmap should be copied to destination bitmap. Otherwise, it should be ignored. This process sould be repeated for the entire image. If anyone knows, kindly update. Tag: control validation problem Tag: 96098

    - how to clone a menustrip? I have to implement a function that pop up a context menu which is the same as the main menustrip in the form. but when I create the context menu using the items of the main menustrip, I found that those items are snatched from the menustrip by context menu. For example: ContextMenuStrip.Items.AddRange(MenuStrip.Items); so I think I have to clone the items for context menu. How to do it?

    - WebBrowser control and AddFontMemResourceEx Not exactly a Windows Forms question, but I failed to find a more suitable group. What I'm trying to accomplish is to enable custom fonts (likely embedded into my application as a resource) in the WebBrowser control (2.0). It works just great to add fonts using AddFontResourceEx, providing a path to the font file in question, but because of both legal and technical reasons I would prefer to be able to only just add the font in memory, from an (encrypted) embedded resource. Must the WebBrowser control (Internet Explorer) be able to enumerate the fonts or is there another reason AddFontResourceEx works when AddFontMemResourceEx doesn't? Perhaps there is another way of accomplishing this? WEFT fonts would be OK if there was a way to create them programatically, I guess. /Gunnar Tag: control validation problem Tag: 96091

    - ListView, Removing items. I'm having an issue with ListView control. THe list view contains items that are dynamically added and removed at run time. The problem comes when I try to remove an item. Whenever an item is removed, the ListView seems to automagically 'select' the item which sits in the same spot the recently removed item did. This only causes a problem when removing the last element in the Items collection, because there is no element to select, so it throws an index out of bounds exception. Anyone know how to stop it autoselecting an item after a removal? Cheers, Tim Tag: control validation problem Tag: 96084

    - Toolbar Image Distortion Hi I have an image that i want to use as a toolbar image. Its been created with a transparent background in Photoshop. I have tried saving it to both a png and a gif format and loading them into an image list and reference that for toolbar button images. In either case whenever i display it in the image is rendered with blue swiggles/distortions around it. I believe this is because of the transparancy as the image displays fine in a webpage. What is it about Windowsforms that renders my images so poorly? Any ideas? Thanks TM Tag: control validation problem Tag: 96081

    - Deleting the last row of a DataGridView - focus? Hi, I have set a dataGridView to full row select. When deleting a row, the next one will be selected (whole row is highlighted). But when deleting the last row, I would expect the previous non deleted one be selected (whole row instead of just having the focus to one unique cell). Is this by design? If so, then I'll try to adapt to it. Otherwise, I'll try some code to select the whole row. Thanks Tag: control validation problem Tag: 96080

    - ClickOnce via Response.Redirect I can use a ClickOnce app I made fine, but I cannot seem to reliably access it via an asp.net app that redirects to it: I created a simple ClickOnce windows forms application in VS 2005 that deploys via IIS; that works fine when either type in the URL, for example "http://localhost/ClickOnceTest1//ClickOnceTest1.application", or hit the autogenerated publish.htm URL. Buuuut...if I then make a new, separate asp.net web application (using vs 2003, so .net 1.1), (let's say it's called ClickOnceWebApp1) and simply call Response.Redirect("http://localhost/ClickOnceTest1/ClickOnceTest1.application",true), it generally does not work - once in a while, it works fine! Most times, I get the "Cannot start application" dialog with a msg "..the application is improperly formatted..." If I then click on "details" I see some messages such as the following: Activation of http://localhost/ClickOnceWebApp1/WebForm1.aspx resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected: + Exception reading manifest from http://localhost/ClickOnceTest1/publish.htm: the manifest may not be valid or the file could not be opened. + Parsing and DOM creation of the manifest resulted in error.

    - MenuStrip merging I want to merge a MenuStrip with the MainMenuStrip of an MDI container form. I would like this newly merged menu to be the default menu in which MDI children will automatically merge their menus with when they are activated (which is the default documented behavior of MDI children). What is the best way to achieve this? I added an initial call to ToolStripManager.Merge() in the constructor of my MDI container form after InitializeComponents() to perform the first merge of the main menu strip. Whenever a child MDI form is activated, the aforementioned merge is automatically reverted back before the MDI child menu strip is automatically merged. Then, whenever the child is deactivated, the mainMenu reverts back to its initial state before any merges. It appears that you cannot compound multiple merges with a single menu. I believe that ToolStripManager.Merge() calls ToolStripManager.RevertMerge() before the requested merge is performed. Is there a way to persist the initial merge to where it will not be reverted whenever a child is activated? I thought perhaps I should clone a new menu from the initial merged menu and assign that as the MainMenuStrip of the MDI container before any child MDI containers are created and activated. But, cloning a menu strip does not appear to be a trivial task as windows forms do not implement IClonable. Tag: control validation problem Tag: 96070

    - WinForms Smart Client app unable to access contents of config file I have a simple WinForms app which uses values from the appSetting section of the config file. When the exe is invoked directly, thes values are retrieved as expected. When I try to launch the app vi Internet Explorer, however, it seems that the appSettings collection i empty. A reference in the for ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["keyname"] returns null; a call t AppSettingsReader.GetValue() throws an exception ("The key 'keyname does not exist in the appSettings configuration section"). I have followed the advice given by Chris Sells and others: - I have enabled anonymous access to the directory containing the ex and config file. - I have added a web.config file to the same directory with an entr allowing *.exe.config files to be downloaded. With this in place, the config file is indeed downloaded: - If I request the config file directly in Internet Explorer, it i returned. (Visual Studio opens to display it.) - If I clear out the Assembly Download Cache and my Temporar Internet Files before attempting to run the application via Interne Explorer, I see the following in the IIS Log: 17:40:21 127.0.0.1 GET /ND_Client/ND_Client.exe 200 17:40:21 127.0.0.1 GET /ND_Client/ND_Client.exe.config 200 17:40:26 127.0.0.1 GET /ND_Client/ND_Client.exe.config 304 17:40:26 127.0.0.1 GET /ND_Client/ND_Client.exe 304 17:40:27 127.0.0.1 GET /ND_Client/en-GB/mscorlib.resources.DLL 404 [plus more requests for non-existent files] If I then look in my Temporary Internet Files directory, I can see bot the exe and the config file. However, if I look in the Assembly Downloa Cache, I see only one file, which the timestamp identifies as the exe (Should I expect to see the config file there? If not, where would th runtime find it?) It therefore seems that the problem is on the client side. What else d I need to do?

    - DataGridView.ReadOnly property modifies DataGridViewColumn.ReadOnl The MSDN documentation makes it sound like the ReadOnly properties of the DataGridView, the DataGridViewRow, and the DataGridViewColumn can be set indepently and that a: Quote: Cell is read-only if the value of the ReadOnly property is true for the cell, the cell's row, the cell's column, or the DataGridView. The problem I am facing is that if you toggle the ReadOnly property of the DataGridView it modifies the DataGridViewColumns ReadOnly properties. It really should not do this. The use case where this is annoying is if you have a set of columns that are always read-only but you need to temporarily disable all cells in the grid. In this case you set the ReadOnly property of the DataGridView to true and when the user can edit it again you set it back to false. Setting it back to false causes you to loose all the column ReadOnly properties. Is there a way around this? I really do not want to reapply the readonly properties to the columns all the time.

    - DataGridView changes column visibility If you create a DataGridView and add a hidden column to it (a column with its visible property set to false), the DataGridView will make the column visible anyway if you make changes to the data source. For an example of this behavior, crate a new windows form project and place a DataGridView control on the form. Add this one line of code to the form class: private DataTable dt; Put the following code in the Load event for the form: // primary key column DataGridViewTextBoxColumn column = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn(); column.DataPropertyName = "primarykey"; column.HeaderText = "primarykey"; column.Visible = false; dataGridView1.Columns.Add(column); // value column column = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn(); column.DataPropertyName = "value"; column.HeaderText = "value"; column.Visible = true; dataGridView1.Columns.Add(column); // create DataTable and set as the DataGridView's DataSource dt = new DataTable(); dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("primarykey",typeof(int))); dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("value", typeof(string))); dataGridView1.DataSource = dt; If you run the project, everything will look good. Now, put a button on the form and add the following code to its click event: dataGridView1.DataSource = null; dataGridView1.DataSource = dt; Now run the program. When you click on the button, suddenly the invisible column becomes visible. This doesnâ??t just happen when you change the datasource, but also happens if the data source is a DataView and you filter the records, etc. Has anyone else encountered this and does anyone know if there is a fix for it?

    - VS2005 and MainMenu controls I just noticed after switching to vs2005 that my MainMenu for my dialog has stopped showing up. If I click on it in the designer it is displayed correctly, but when I build my app, it's not there. I see in the property inspector for the dialog that there is a MainMenuStrip property, but not MainMenu. Do I need to manually recreate my menu as a new and improved(?) MainMenuStrip? Confused....

    - RadioButton - GroupName I'm adding two sets of radio-buttons to a control (ie. each set of buttons should only have one selection). The problem is all the radio buttons within the form think they are part of the same group (only one button can be selected from all groups). With WebControls I would have used the "GroupName" property to setup the unique groups. But I can't find the corresponding property for the WinForms RadioButton. What should I do here. Thanks everyone! == Phil Tag: control validation problem Tag: 96021

    - Freeze of Form on MultiThread! Hello, In my application, my main form creates some sub forms which are shown on top of that main form and all of those forms do have a timer on them. When the timer elapses, they do raise an event which is catched by the main form... My problem in here is that when all that events get raised and all the shown sub forms have finished running their codes, my main form gets freezed... For thread safety, I use this code in the main form event subscription method but the result is still the same : Control c = sender as Control; if ( c != null ) { if ( c.InvokeRequired ) { c.Invoke(new EventHandler(this.MyEvent)); } else { //Thread is safe, run the code } } Can anybody help me what I'm missing in here? Thanks, Özden Tag: control validation problem Tag: 96013

    - Visual Inheritance classic, but gets mixed up Hi, I'm using the following visual inheritance classic: base form with two buttons 'apply' and 'cancel' anchored to the bottom right corner. You inherit this base form and resize the inherited form, the buttons move along. At least most of the time, sometimes the buttons do not anchor to the borders of the inherited form but appear at a random other location on the form. A workaround is to remove the code this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(529, 312); from the inherited form and resize it in the designer to its original specs. Does a solution exist, instead of this workaround ? Best regards, Nico Tag: control validation problem Tag: 96011

    - Performance I downloaded an example of a Windows Form (.net 2.0) that mimics part of Outlook. It was nicely done. However, I was struck by the performance. It was not good. What about performance of Windows Forms that are somewhat complex? For the last few years I have done nothing but asp.net programming. The performance has been great. I made a brief launch into windows programming (.net 1.x) and found that the performance was not good -- e.g., the DataGrid or whatever it was called. This discouraged me from pursuing WinForms any further. Jay Tag: control validation problem Tag: 96007

    - problems with tooltip, doesn't show Hello! Can somebody explain me how to solve my problem. I have created vs projecti in c#. I have one form and i have added usercontrol to project. I didn't change enything on it. Then i have added one istance of my control, button and tooltip control to my form. I have wrote tooltip text for button and for my control and when i build project and hover over button and my control everything works, tool tip windows is showing. Then i have added label to my control and change properthy Dock to fill. Then i build project again and when i hover with mouse over button it is working but when i hover over my control it isn't working and tooltip don't want to show. I'm hoping that you understood my problem, sorry on english :-) Thanks to everyone! Tag: control validation problem Tag: 95998

I have create a control which CauseValidation=true (let's call it
ValidatingControl)
I have created another control reacting to user action.(let's call it
GuiControl)

Now my problem is:
If my ValidatingControl is not valid and I click on some other gui element,
such as a CheckBox or the close button of my window, nothing happen: which
is fine and expected.

But if I click on my GuiControl it react on user input as usual, regardless
of the fact my ValidatingControl is not valid.

So the question is: how do I check in my GuiControl wether or not I'm
allowed to react to user input (i.e. that there are no pending validation)?
