    - ContextMenuStrip is never disposed I have created a sample Windows Forms Application, on mouse right click i create a new ContextMenuStrip and shows it. I close the ContextMenuStrip by clicking outside it or by clicking an item. Even after a GC.Collect call, the ContextMenuStrip is never disposed. Analysing with a .NET Memory Profiler i have noticed that, after closure, the ContextMenuStrip is still alive : referenced by the ControlNativeWindow and by SytemEvents handlers. I have tried to call a Dispose in ContextMenuStrip.Closed handler, but it raises an exception. Any idea ? Tag: RE need HELP urgently example code included Tag: 96262

    - Activating a message box in .NET I have a .NET 2.0 form that parents a message box. Neither is currently active. How can I programatically activate the message box? I can't seem to do it via the .NET Framework, since message boxes aren't .NET forms, so I've tried doing it via the Win32 API, but still no luck. Here's what I've tried so far: // First activate the parent form parentForm.Activate(); // Now attempt to activate the message box itself const int GW_CHILD = 5; const int WM_ACTIVATE = 6; const int WA_INACTIVE = 0; const int WA_ACTIVE = 1; int hwndParent = (int)parentForm.Handle; int hwndMsgBox = GetWindow(hwndParent, GW_CHILD); if (hwndMsgBox != 0) { SendMessage(hwndMsgBox, WM_ACTIVATE, WA_ACTIVE, hwndMsgBox); SendMessage(hwndParent, WM_ACTIVATE, WA_INACTIVE, hwndMsgBox); } Regards, Marcus Ogden Software Development QSR International Pty Ltd Tag: RE need HELP urgently example code included Tag: 96259

    - Capture Form Move - Start and Stop Hi, I want to capture the move of a form with an override of OnMove, which works fine. But I want to register also when a user starts moving a form and when he releases it, any idea how to accomplish that? Here is what I tried so far without success: - Capturing the OnMouseCaptureChanged: As the Capture flag is set during the form move and is unset after, I expected this event to be fired, but it isn't. So it does not help... - Overriding WndProc and capturing WM_NCLMOUSEDOWN, WM_NCLMOUSEUP, WM_LMOUSEUP: To register the mouse down in the HTCAPTION and the mouse up as the end of the dragging of the form. I receive the nc mouse down event, but I never get a mouse up, except if the form is maximized. No idea, why that is... the form has a sizeable toolbar frame. Anybody any other ideas?

    - Embedded win forms: focus/tab control problem I am "embedding" several Winforms (Form descendants) in Panel controls, showing them as follows: this.TopLevel = false; //this is a Form this.Parent = parent; //parent is a panel this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None; this.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; this.Show(); The "embedded" forms are shown correctly in the container panels, but focus/tab control does not work as it should. Once you tab into the first "embedded" form, further tabbing will move the focus from one control to another only inside this "embedded" form, never releasing it to the next one, or to any controls of the container, top-level, form. Is there anything I can do about it? Tag: RE need HELP urgently example code included Tag: 96257

    - DataGridView Validation Problem! I have implemented a custom date control; it's a UserControl containing a MaskedTextBox control. I have created a DataGridView custom column using this UserControl. DataGridView is very demanding of its custom column controls. But I have finally modified the UserControl so it mostly works correctly, except for one major problem. When a cell loses focus (via tab, enter, etc.), the DataGridView gets the control's value (via a get of EditingControlFormattedValue) BEFORE the MaskedTextBox raises the TypeValidationCompleted event. Since the app is required to prevent leaving the UserControl unless there is a valid date value, the app does not expect to be able to retrieve an invalid value. But since the validation occurs too late when in a grid, the value is retrieved before it is ready. To make a long story short, this appears to be a serious (at least for many uses) bug in the DataGridView. Trying to have the UserControl do special validation in this case leads to some pretty convoluted logic! Can you suggest any clean way to prevent this problem from occurring?

    - ListView ownerdrawn performance Hi all, I've been testing a listview control on an app I'm creating which is in 'details view' with 3 columns. It can contain string information from 4 different objects (linked with Tag), each drawn with a unique colour. When I load in 2000 (or even as low as 500) objects the performance hit is quite bad, I had to derive a new control from ListView so I could enabled double buffering on the control. This stops the flickering, but there is a noticeable lag when scrolling the vertical bar up and down. Even having as few as 200 objects displayed creates a slight lag. At first I thought this might be due to me using many different colours, so I tried redrawing in just one colour and the same thing happens. What looks worse is minimising the form, and then restoring it, the listview doesn't draw (so the desktop can be seen through it) for a few seconds (I guess it's drawing the contents of the listview during that time). If I turn off ownerdrawn there is no lag on drawing even 2000 items, although there is a few second delay on loading the items. Is this performance hit normal for ownerdrawn listview controls? If not, any tips on removing it would be appreciated! Chris Tag: RE need HELP urgently example code included Tag: 96248

    - ToolStripComboBox binding problems The following code only "binds" when the toolStripComboBox1 is at the top of the toolStrip1 hierarchy (i.e., ToolStrip > ToolStripSplitButton > ToolStripComboBox). Why will the control NOT bind when it moved (recreated) as a child control of a toolStrip control (i.e., ToolStrip > ToolStripSplitButton > ToolStripComboBox)? I have also tried casting toolStripComboBox1.Control as a standard ComboBox and binding it that way. That method produces the same effect. I can use the exact same binding settings on a regular ComboBox with no problems either. The problem truly seems associated with the fact that the control being bound seems to be nested. //(bsCustomers is a BindingSource object and dvCustomers is a DataView object) bsCustomers.DataSource = dvCustomers; toolStripComboBox1.ComboBox.DisplayMember = consts.Columns.colCustomersName; //"Name" toolStripComboBox1.ComboBox.ValueMember = consts.Columns.colCustomersID; //"ID" toolStripComboBox1.ComboBox.DataSource = bsCustomers; ------------------------------------------------------------------- Versions Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200) Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727 Installed Edition: Professional Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 77626-009-0000007-41501 Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Microsoft Visual C# 2005 77626-009-0000007-41501 Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 77626-009-0000007-41501 Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Microsoft Visual J# 2005 77626-009-0000007-41501 Microsoft Visual J# 2005 Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 77626-009-0000007-41501 Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Crystal Reports AAC60-G0CSA4B-V7000AY Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 Tag: RE need HELP urgently example code included Tag: 96246

I wanted to know if it is possible to mimic basic functionality of windows explorer - show files with correct icons and allow navigation in folder.

    - RichTextBox formating problems Hi, I have a richtextbox which I have modifyed to enable scrolling (ie text gets added to the bottom and gets scrolled upwards when new text is added). I have also modifed so that cirtan text can be a different color using the SelectedStart, SelectedLength and SelectedColor properties. This is all working fine. Now I want to limit the amount of text which ends up in the display so I'm using the string.Remove function to remove text from the begining of the text. However in doing an kind of operation to remove text all formating is lost on my current text. This sucks!!! So I tryed implimenting a solution which stores the formating applied to the text. This is very slow and also sucks. Basically I need a better way of a: removing text from the text box without loosing formating b: a way of capturing previously formated text and reappling it to new text c: appling my own method of storing formating to text Thanks Tag: RE need HELP urgently example code included Tag: 96239

    - How to see current windows message queue My form gets a resize message after completing a button click event and I cant find the source of this resize message. My button event makes same calls to directx device and resizing or maximizing the form. Yes these calls can be source of the unknown resize event but I see my resize event raised at the moment doing these calls in the button event. After finishing all calls and resizings in the button event, I get a resize event, but from where ???? I look to call stack at this resize event, and I cant see and code of mine raises this event. So I think a line of code in the button event creates a resize message in the message queue for processing it in the App.DoEvents call. not in the button event. And this message waits the current button click message ending. I will give a code example : method MyForm.ButtonClick // this is the event method of my button [ // in this event, we make lots of calls backup form's size (*) reset directx device restore form's size (*) .... // I think one line of code in this event, adds a resize event to message queue to process later ] method MyForm.Resize // resize event [ // this event raised at the moment of running (*) lines some code... ] after completing the button event and before returning to normal program loop, I get an extra resize event :( :( so, I need to see all stored messages in message queue when I process my button event. for example, I will print the current message queue status to console line by line in the button event. I really need to see which line of code adds the f..king extra resize event to the queue. pls help me, how can I get the current windows message queue status to print to console Tag: RE need HELP urgently example code included Tag: 96233

    - Controls paint slowly Sorry for re-posting in this newsgroup - but this group is more apropriate than dotnet.general I am developing a mdi application that will act as a front end to a database. I am finding that when i show any of the mdi child forms in my application it is noticeable that the form is shown first with the areas where the controls will be displayed cut out and what ever is top most before the form is shown is momentarity seen through these areas. This is also noticed if the user changes focus to say internet explorer and then back to the running application. I find that this is more noticeable for textboxes, labels and toolstrips but not listboxes or tab controls. I have tried various methods suggested for double buffering, however these appear to show no signs of improvement. None of my mdi child forms are currently doing anything special on loading - the form as seen in the form designer is just being shown (no data access on load) I would appreciate any suggestions.

    - A Framework for Datadriven Forms for VB Dot Net Hello All, I am currently in the middle of creating a 'Framework' for my latest VB.Net project. I have always created such a tool for previous lauguages. This time I am basing it on n-Tier architecture. I will probably continue and develop my own version, but have any of you people developed your own version, or used and 3rd party tools. What I am referring to is a set of code that can be used for most forms in the application, they will display data, allow for additions, deletions, updates, will support record selection, etc. I typically then add error logging, application logging, and a few other minor features. The only problem is it is a little labourious creating all the code for each layer, and the stored procedures required, and the stored procedures for the combo's also. I am attempting to use .Net 2003's data adapter to generate some of the sql for the updates and deletions, but I still have to hand write a reasonable amount of the code myself. Any thoughts?

    - using console with a windows app I have a VB app with a form under FW 1.1, sp1. In sub main, I do some setup processing that may or may not result in some calls to: Console.Writeline(...) eventually, I do: Application.Run(New Form1) All this works. If the app is run by clicking the app's icon, the console writes are discarded. If I run from a command prompt window via app arg1 arg2 | more I will see the console writes in the command window. But if I run via app arg1 arg2 the console writes are discarded. I would like to avoid piping to 'more' if possible. I guess what I want to do is flush and close stdout before I do Application.Run(New Form1). But Console.Out.Flush() and/or Console.Out.Close() don't help. I'm looking for a .net solution - not api's. Also, I have read some info about making a console app and starting forms from it. I'd rather not go that way - this app is a windows gui app that has a couple of troubleshooting command line features. So, is there a .net way to close and flush stdout so the text is visible in the command prompt window while the windowed app continues to run?

This works fine, but it seems if I right click to open the context menu, the first time it opens is under ToolStripMenuItem rather than the mouse pointer. After this everything works as intended. If the ToolStripMenuItem is opened first, then the contextmenu always appears where it should. I use this technique in another form and the context menu always displays correctly. Is this a bug? If so how do I correct it. It doesn't cause any harm. it's just an annoyance. Chris Tag: RE need HELP urgently example code included Tag: 96171

    - Sub Main() declared twice? I have a Windows Forms application I'm trying to starup with a startup class. Here's the signature of my main in the class: <STAThread()> Public Shared Sub Main() I have application framework disabled, but when I compile I get: 'Sub Main' is declared more than once in 'Foo': Foo.My.MyApplication.Main(Args() As String), Foo.Main.Main() The app was originally running with a Startup form, but I'm trying to move to starting from Main(). Before I had it declared as shared and the <STAThread()> designation (ie, before .Net could find my Main()), the project would build, but I would get a "NoStartupFormException". I have no Idea what's going on here. How do I get rid of the Main() in MyApplication? I would have assumed that disabling the app framework would do it, but apparently not.

    - Ideas on Themes selection for the Form??? I have two to different sets of themes for my windows form. Selecting each form should change the Images, color sets and other appearance related properties for the controls on the form. What could be the best way to approach this problem. I was thinking of saving these setting in different XML files and read from them on fly when theme is changed by the user. But any other ideas or suggestions would be very much appreciated. I was thinking something like this........ <root> <ImagesFolderName> images1 </ImagesFolderName> <LabelBackColor>Red</LabelBackColor> </PanelBorderColor>Dark Gray</PanelBorderColor> </root> Thanks, VPMahank Tag: RE need HELP urgently example code included Tag: 96164

    - Me.Invoke - Incorrect behavior I have encountered an odd behavior when using Me.Invoke and any help would be great. I am using a standard Me.InvokeRequired followed be a Me.Invoke to make sure a method runs on the UI thread. This logic has worked for me countless times but for some reason I have a problem with it in one circumstance. The Me.Invoke is called but it does not create the delegate on the UI thread. Instead it creates the delegate on the same thread which then gets caught by the Me.InvokeRequired which call Me.Invoke and this continues until I get a stack overflow. So my question is what would cause Me.Invoke to not use the UI thread but instead the thread that it is currently on? Below is a code snippet.... Private Delegate Sub SetButtonDelegate(ByVal Value As Boolean) Private Sub SetButton(ByVal Value As Boolean) If Me.InvokeRequired Then Dim newDelegate As New SetButtonDelegate(AddressOf SetButton) Me.Invoke(newDelegate, New Object() {Value}) Else Mylabel.Enabled = Value Mybutton.Enabled = Value End If End Sub Thanks Madison -- Madison Decker - MCSD Tag: RE need HELP urgently example code included Tag: 96153

Yes works fine if you don't show the messagebox

What is happening is the message box is getting focus because it's a modal
dialog and no other window can have focus until it has gone away.
After the message box goes away though you should be able to set the buttons
focus.

Hope this helped
