    - Framework version error? A very strange one with a VB.net windows forms thing. Anyone seen anything like this or have any other comments? The history... Straightforward application created in VS 2002 running perfectly happily on machines running version 1.0 of the framework. I come across a bug in the app that (after discussion with MS) is fixed by upgrading to VS 2003 and framework 1.1. I upgrade the app (i.e. open the project in 2003, VS says "Do you want to upgrade?" etc). I upgrade client machines by running the 1.1 framework installer and install the updated app. This was about a month ago. For two weeks the app works fine. Then it goes wrong. Intermittently. There's a particular routine that involves writing data to SQL 2K that it fails on. Meaningless error message. Something about the index is 0 is non-negative and less than the total number of rows (no real detail there because I don't think it's relevant.) Rerun the app and everything is fine. Sometimes. Do something like reinstall the mdac and everything works fine for a while and then collapses again. We fall back onto another machine set up in apparently the exact same way where it works perfectly. This has been the situation for the last two weeks. Tonight a colleague finds an .ini file under documents and settings\username which includes information about what framework is being used (can't remember exactly, but search for .ini modified in the last day and it leaps out). This says that the machine that's going wrong is still using the 1.0 framework. Huh? We have now tried uninstalling the old framework and reran the app. The ini file is now claiming that it's using 1.1. Don't know, as yet, whether this is a fix or not. Were we supposed to uninstall the old framework before installing the new? Have I missed something there? Anyone want to give me odds that the app in question will now work perfectly? -- For real reply address, replace the _surprised_ bits with dots www.realuk.co.uk Tag: How to handle Control-C (copy) AFTER form has done it Tag: 62088

    - XP Visual Styles on UserControl in IE (Framework 1.1) I have an IE BandObject that is derived from : UserControl, IObjectWithSite, IDeskBand, IDockingWindow, IOleWindow, IInputObject This control uses DrawThemeParentBackground( this.Handle, hdc, ref rect) to get the parent IE rebar control's gradient background to be drawn under XP. Everything was drawing "fine", up until the point that I added a ToolBar (or a PictureBox, or...) to my bandObject that was docked Left . The Layout is fine - Z-Order correct, etc. -this is only a painting problem related to OnPaintBackground in this class, from all that I can see ;) Now, everything has gone to hell - the background isn't being painted correctly on EITHER a standard toolbar (docked Left) OR a ToolBar-derived class docked Fill. It's CRAZY - even the DIRECTION that MouseOver occurs in (right-to-left, the background paints fine, left-to-right, the background paints each button black in what appears to be the size of the first item in the BandObject - the ToolBar or PictureBox that is docked Left. This seems like it should be fairly straightforward, but there seems to be some kind of interaction between UxTheme and (docking?) I am mucking with the DisplayRectangle of the BandObject (shrinking the width to allow for a small button on the rigt side of the control (a LOT smaller than the area that isn't painting the background correctly). Any pointers would be greatly appreciated - My OnPaintbackground() is implemented as follows: protected override void OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs pevent) /* XP Visual Style, only */ { rect = new RECT(pevent.ClipRectangle); try { IntPtr hdc = pevent.Graphics.GetHdc(); int ret = DigitalCollimation.Win32.DrawThemeParentBackground( this.Handle, hdc, ref rect ); pevent.Graphics.ReleaseHdc( hdc); } catch (Exception ex) { Trace.WriteLine( ex.Message + "\r\nat: " + ex.StackTrace ,"OnPaintBackground()"); } } DrawThemeParentBackground() is defined as follows: [DllImport( "uxtheme.dll")] public static extern /* HRESULT */ int DrawThemeParentBackground( IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr hdc, ref RECT prc ); RECT is defined as follows: [StructLayout( LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct RECT { public Int32 Left; public Int32 Top; public Int32 Right; public Int32 Bottom; public int Width { get { return Right - Left; } } public int Height { get { return Bottom - Top; } } public RECT( int left, int top, int right, int bottom) { this.Left = left; this.Top = top; this.Right = right; this.Bottom = bottom; } public RECT( Rectangle rc) { Left = rc.Left; Top = rc.Top; Right = rc.Left + rc.Width; Bottom = rc.Top + rc.Height; } public static implicit operator RECT( Rectangle rc ) { return new RECT( rc.Left, rc.Top, rc.Left + rc.Width, rc.Top + rc.Height ); } public static implicit operator Rectangle( RECT rc ) { return new Rectangle( rc.Left, rc.Top, rc.Left + rc.Width, rc.Top + rc.Height ); } public override string ToString() { // TODO: change this to use String.Format? return "{ " + Left + ", " + Top + ", " + Right + ", " + Bottom + " }"; } } Tag: How to handle Control-C (copy) AFTER form has done it Tag: 62087

    - Asynchronous Server Socket Example Hi All, I am trying to use the Asynchronous Server Socket Example from MSDN ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconnon-blockingserversocketexample.asp ) in my C# windows form application. Clients will connect and send a data packet. This server program has to receive packets from multiple clients and relay those packets to another server for further processing. In ReadCallBack function instead of doing Console.WriteLine, I want an event ( Message ) to be sent to the mainform along with the data. So that the Mainform can send this data to other server through already open socket. How can I send (post) event/Message along with the data to the Mainform?

    - Nasty flickering by OnPaint Graphics.Invalidate Using: VS 2003 NET C# for Framework and Framework Compact Trying : Moving a Card (Bitmap) as in Solitare (PC + WinCe) Version on OnMouseMove Problem : The affected drawing Area by Invalidate (or Invalidate(Rectangle)) flickers in a nasty way when repainting. This does not happen in the Solitare (PC + WinCe) Versions a well as in a Card game where I have the C++ Source. The use of an empty OnPaintBackground brings no visable results. The OnPaint calls a Method, which builds a new Bitmap with a local Graphics. When finished OnPaint does one DrawImage Command (flicker). OnPaint is painting to a Panel. Is this a Framework problem ? Can a flicker free Painting only be done with some sort of Win-API. - Goal is for this Class to run with the same code on both Systems. If yes, what would it look like inside a Framework program ? This seems to the last major problem (as of yet) that I have in realising a game programm and it would be very nice if this problem could be solved.

    - [ANN] Xamlon Beta 1 - XAML for Windows.Forms I am very proud to announce the pre-beta release of Xamlon! Xamlon (pronounced "Zamelon," which rhymes with "avalon"), is a XAML runtime library for the .NET Framework 1.1. Xamlon is not a 100% XAML/Avalon compatible library, it was not designed to be, but rather uses some of the same objects and syntax as XAML to provide the same power and capabilities as XAML but for building "Windows.Forms" applications instead. Simply put: "Xamlon is XAML for Windows.Forms" There are several key benefits of using Xamlon today: a.. Application development becomes much more simple and efficient. Xalmon provides a very clean separation between presentation and application logic. b.. Xamlon application run on all of today's .NET Framework 1.1 Windows operating systems: Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Server 2003. c.. Xamlon provides a much simpler migration path to Microsoft's next-generation presentation layer in Longhorn, XAML. This is an early release so we could get it into the hands of developers. There is little to no documentation, but we'll be updating the web site frequently. For pre-beta 1, Xamlon has basic support for the Application object, Window object, and several other controls including GridLayout, FlowLayout, etc. These are very early stage controls, but will allow you to get started. Of course all Windows.Forms controls can be used, third-party controls, etc. Read over the included examples and source code, and we'll be updating the bits frequently! Enjoy... http://www.xamlon.com/ -Paul Colton Tag: How to handle Control-C (copy) AFTER form has done it Tag: 61991

    - WindowsForms Data Binding Over Internet Hi Guys, I have been doing a lot of research on what is the best architecture to bind a WindowsForms Application to data across the Internet. Scenario: My company is hosting all data in SQLServer2000 and running IIS/ASPNET The Client applications will be deployed outside our network. Its a typical scenario, but seems like there is too many solutions:) Is Remoting a more efficient way to expose all data manipulation objects, does it need to be synchronized from scratch for all data updating and binding?? Should DataSets be serialized to the client and bound to the forms and will they handle the sync? I saw somewhere that in the SQLConnection string, you can put in something like "Server=http://111.111.222.222/" to connect the DataAdapter over internet..is that true? Can anyone please shed some more light?? Thanks a lot. Tag: How to handle Control-C (copy) AFTER form has done it Tag: 61965

    - Borderless form? I would like to create a MFC project (preferable using the Wizard) that has a borderless, menuless window as the main form. Unchecking basically everything in the Wizard still gives me a border and a menu bar. How do I make it borderless & menuless? Thank you, Richard Tag: How to handle Control-C (copy) AFTER form has done it Tag: 61960

    - Is there an enumeration for the WM_ messages???? If I overload WndProc(), I'll want a switch() in there to act on different windows WM_ messages like WM_MOUSEMOVE and stuff like that. Trouble is, how do I find the value of these constants? I know, I can hunt around in winuser.h for them, but if I'm a VB or C# guy, that's kind of a roundabout solution. The ".net" way of doing this would be to give me an enum that contained all the values. Is there such a thing? I can't find one. Tag: How to handle Control-C (copy) AFTER form has done it Tag: 61958

    - System.Security.SecurityException: Request failed. I'm trying to get my Windows form exe to execute from a web server. Everything works fine on the server itself (my local machine), when I go to any other machine, I get this error. I have used the dotnet Trust An Assembly utility to trust the assembly, and I can browse to the server OK (my local machine). Unfortunately our systems administrators have locked down the security in IE so that it's impossible to add trusted sites, or change any of these settings. I can probably get them to change this, but I'd have to be clear in what I needed changing. Can anybody help. All the samples sem to assume you've got full access to the machine.

    - WM_ACTIVATE Hello, In VB6 the WM_ACTIVATE message was not sent to a window when it was activated from an other application (when the application switched). Did this change in VB.NET? Is it now always sent? Tag: How to handle Control-C (copy) AFTER form has done it Tag: 61953

    - How to Activate() a window I have a Hwnd for a window that I want to bring to the front and give focus. This window is not part of my application, but is being controlled by my app. I get the Hwnd from the applications COM object model. Can I take this Hwnd and give the form focus? Thanks! -- Bobby C.

I have a dialog box that has an icon for "paste". I want to enable it if
there is
text on the clipboard. How do I check for other parts of my dialog (e.g.
textboxes)
that may allow a ctrl-c. If my form intercepts KeyPress or
ProcessDialogKey, it
seems that the data has not yet been put on the clipboard (i.e.
children/textbox has
not handled it yet).

call base.ProcessDialogKey() in your overriden method BEFORE you do
anything else. Perhaps that will fix it.
