    - Strange TextBox behavior when 2 or more text boxes are placed next to each other. We have several forms that use textBoxes to collect info from the user. It seems that when we have 2 text boxes stacked one below the other, when the user types in the second one the text is actually entered into the first one. We thought that maybe upgrading to .NET 1.1 might solve this issue, but it is still there. Tag: problem with form1.show Tag: 52040

    - form with datagrid steals focus Hi. I'm having a very annoying focus problem. I have a class (MyDataList) which implements CollectionBase and IBindingList. This class is bound to a data grid. whenever my MyDataList is updated [example: OnListChanged(new ListChangedEventArgs(ListChangedType.Reset,-1));] (another thread invokes updates on the UI thread) the form containing the DataGrid takes focus and then acts like something set TopMost = true on the containing form! I can't figure out what is causing this, and it's driving me insane!! Has anyone encountered this before, and found a fix? Or does anyone have a suggestion? (extend DataGrid and override some protected event?) Tag: problem with form1.show Tag: 52038

    - Visual Inheritance for ComboBox Hi All, Just been toying around with inheriting from the ComboBox control. See below a simple example of the new ComboBox class. // start MyComboBox.cs file using System; using System.Windows; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Drawing; namespace MyComboBox.UI { /// <summary> /// Summary description for MyComboBox. /// </summary> public class MyComboBox : ComboBox { public MyComboBox() { this.ForeColor = Color.DarkBlue; } protected override void OnHandleCreated(EventArgs e) { if (this.DesignMode) { this.Items.Add("Design Mode"); } else { this.Items.Add("Run-time Mode"); } this.Items.Add("Orange"); this.Items.Add("Apple"); this.Items.Add("Pie"); } } } // end There's no problem adding the control to my toolbox. Also - no problem dragging and dropping the custom combo onto the design canvas. Strange thing is, after switching between design time and code a couple of times and running it - the font seems to change into a bigger font, something like Arial bold or such. Also, I suppose I need to specify some attribute tags before the class definition. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks a bunch, Wim Hollebrandse Tag: problem with form1.show Tag: 52023

    - MDIChild forms maximizebox. Hello ALL, I have this situation: 1. A MDI Form named frmPrincipal; 2.

    - Problem with drawing over the top of a background form Hi, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I am working on a program that has a form that has a background mage that the user can change. Currently I assign in directly to background image. After an image is assigned to the background the user has the ability to draw rectangles on the image using the mouse to define the regions. To do that I create a bitmap and constantly redraw the rectangles on it that are stored in a linked list each time the form repaints.. the problem is that because of this bitmap, I never see the image assigned to the background. Of course this makes sense since I am creating a bitmap. I've tried setting the bitmap to be transparent, and that allows me see the background image, but everytime I use the mouse to draw or resize a region, it doesn't refresh properly and I'm left with tons of rectangles on the screen, instead of just the final rectangles position. Is there any easier way to do this? I've also tried to assigned the .BMP image I use directly as the bitmap I am creating the rectangles on rather then the background, but then I get another error saying "Additional information: A Graphics object cannot be created from an image that has an indexed pixel format." The bmp is an 8 Bit format image. I've also tried converting it to a GIf with no success. I was going to post some of the code, but figured the post was long enough, if anyone is interetsed in seeing what i have so far, just let me know. I appreciate any help you guys can give me.

    - Am I doing something wrong? (Variables) Hiya all, I am developing a windows form application. I am coding in C#. What I have is two forms/Classes, frmMain & frmAdd and they both have the same default namespace "Q.A._Testing_Centre". In frmMain I have initialize & instantiated my variable as "public string userName", where the user input name is stored. I am trying to get the stored data propertied from my frmMain to my frmAdd. I thought this is the correct syntex for outputting the info in my textbox (scratching my head), maybe it's not. So please let me know if you can help, or where I'm going wrong. Code is as follows: namespace Q.A._Testing_Centre { public class frmMain : System.Windows.Forms.Form { public string userName; <<<---- I want the data from here ... ... ... namespace Q.A._Testing_Centre { public class frmAdd : System.Windows.Forms.Form { private void SubMainMenu() { frmMain Main = new frmMain(); txtBoxSample.Text = Convert.ToString(Main.userName);<<<--- to output in my textbox here ... ... ... I have tried a sample textbox with in frmMain and this data is in fact stored until I exit my program. But I cannot seem to reproduce the same textbox output in frmAdd. I seem to get a blank textbox area. Alternatively I have try "txtBoxSample.Text = Main.userName" syntex which does not work as well. Or maybe if someone has a better alternative, please feel free to let me know. All help is truly appreciated & thank you all in advance. MikeY Tag: problem with form1.show Tag: 51989

    - Is print preview in .NET wothwhile? Hi! I am preparing to write a small library for generating reports. One of the key features is that it must support print previews. .NET has a PreviewPrintControler but according to the docs it is keeping the whole preview in Images. The library should be able to preview quite large reports (over 100 pages) also on resource starving computers (like 64 MB RAM 300 Mhz Celerons). Would PrintPreview eat the whole memory available or does it have some optimizations to counter the problem? What are your experiences? Regards! Micha³ Ziemski Tag: problem with form1.show Tag: 51940

    - Win98: DragDrop registration fails everytime I'm ripping a thread that I created a few days ago, since I used the exact same subject line as a previous one. In addition, I can also say that since I posted this thread, I've come to the conclusion that this application is hitting some sort of wall with regards to Window handles. I'm leaning towards this being one of the primary issues because when a user selects a "tool" from a Form (it launches the core application, which is quite large), you can immediately kill the Form, go back to the tool selection Form...select it again, and it will _always_ fail to load the 2nd time. The application just dies. Furthermore, I've got try/catch blocks all over the place, sending the Exceptions to a logfile, and nothing ever gets logged once it gets in this state. You're forced to do the ole' Win98 CTRL-ALT-DEL at that point. So, the question is this: If I'm correct (or partially) in that Window handles might be the culprit, how do I resolve it? I spent an entire day forcing dispose() on everything I could possibly think of, as well as using things like the Performance Counters to identify problematic (meaning, resource hungry) classes, and I still get the same result... Can anybody (Microsoft?) help or even give me some kind of direction? Here's the original post... ----------------------------------------------------------- I have a C# Application that is posing some interesting issues when run within Win98. Let me preface this by saying that everything works like a charm under Win2000. Anyhow, the current issue is that under "certain" circumstances (there's no logic as to how/why this happens), you will fire up this application under Win98 and get a "DragDrop Error: registration failed" MessageBox from JIT. The source code line in question is, of course, a simple "this.AllowDrop = true;" property. If I were to remove it, the problem would go away. Of course, I need that call in order for the application to function correctly. And before anybody asks the obvious, I _do_ have the following line in my main Form: [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) I can't really make heads or tails out of this issue, and it definitely presents itself only under Win98. This particular Win98 machine is up to scratch, in terms of patches/updates/etc. The OS has IE6.0 installed, as well as .NET runtime v1.1. The Application is compiled using .NET Studio 2003. Can anybody shed any light on this? Any workarounds? Tag: problem with form1.show Tag: 51926

If=20 there are some erros I want to stop the application. Now I tried a few thinks: this.Close(); which has no effect, because the Form is not open in the=20 constructor. The form opens. Application.Exit(); has also no effect. The Form still opens. System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.Abort(); =09 throws an exception which I can=B4t catch. How can I stop my program in the constructor without any=20 errors ? Thanx and regards=20 Stephan Tag: problem with form1.show Tag: 51872

    - Few questions regarding building MSI using VS.NET Hi, I am building MSI for my projects using Visual Studio.NET and facing some problems with this. 1) I want to add a shortcut to another EXE which is not included in the MSI. How to add this? Visual Studio.NET allows us to create a shortcut for files that are included in the project / MSI whereas WISE allows to do the same. 2) When we create the MSI using VS.NET, the default setting for installation is to install "only for the you" but not for "anyone who uses the computer" ( you can see this option in "User information" dialog while installing any MSI. I could not find any place in VS.NET setup project to change this option. This is very essential to assign the MSI using Group Policy. How to change the default option? 3) Is it posible to change the dialogs and to add any custom actions? Any Help?? Advance thanks, Ramana Tag: problem with form1.show Tag: 51867

    - ListBox Performance - SetSelected Hi there, I have the case where I am trying to optimize some slow code that selects listBox items. For approximately 6,500 items, the IndexOf method takes about 3 seconds on a 2.4GHz machine, and SetSelected takes about 9 seconds. The label lookup from the lable map takes about 0.004 seconds. Is there any way of selecting items in a quicker, possible batch fashion? SelectedIndices appears to be read only. Surely it can't take 9 seconds to select all these indexes when only 10 or 12 are displayed at any one time. I've tried SuspendLayout() and ResumeLayout() to try to avoid code that updates the display after every selection, but the performance remained the same. for(int i = 1; i <= aenumElements.Count; i++) { string alabel = m_idLabelMap[aenumElements[i]] as string; int aindex = listBoxElements.Items.IndexOf(alabel); if(aindex >= 0) listBoxElements.SetSelected(aindex, true); } Any tips would be greatly appreciated (short of re-working the use case to not require 6,500 elements of course). Thanks, Wayne. Tag: problem with form1.show Tag: 51863

    - Client/Server Samples with Business Logic Layer Sorry for the cross-post, but I didn't know whom to ask.. Are there any samples for a true C/S app (preferably VB, but C# is welcomed) with a middle tier using datasets/datatables similar to the the Fitch/Maher sample w/VB6? The only thing i can find on windowsforms.com & MSDN is TaskVision, which is overly complicated for my needs(dont need to expose data via web services). I have adopted the "MS Building Blocks" data access class, but it's only been used in ASP.Net samples, and would like to continue using it in the BLL. Is this possible? Thanks, Morgan Tag: problem with form1.show Tag: 51844

    - Disable MDI Scrollbars Hi all! Relating to an earier post I made. I tried the EnableScrollBar API which didn't seem to work for me. This is how I'm declaring it: [ DllImport("user32.Dll", EntryPoint "EnableScrollBar") ] public static extern bool EnableScrollBar(System.IntPtr hWnd, int wSBflags, int wArrows); Then using it like so: EnableScrollBar(this.Handle, 3, 3); If anyone has any success in disabling MDI parent scrollbars then I'd love to know how you've done it!

    - Is it true that Windows Forms don't use config files? WROX's "Professional ADO.NET" makes the following statement on page 54 when discussing obtaining connection strings from a config file: "In Web applications this file must be name web.config. In Console applications, the configuration file also ends in .config, but is prefixed with application name, such as MyApp.exe.config. Windows Forms applications do not use configuration files." I am curious why Windows Forms do not use config files and also what about Windows Service apps (or they treated as "console" apps?)? Tag: problem with form1.show Tag: 51842

If I use the command form1.showdialog() the form appears
and stays on the screen.

However, if I use form1.show() it appears then
immediately closes. I've spent two hours pulling my hair
out on this one, thumbing through 3 vb.net books.

For now I'm using showdialog, but I need the 'real thing'.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using Application.Run() to start your application?

No, I'm not. I'm starting off with modPrimary, which
includes public sub main.

However, I just changed the causes validation property to
false on the btnClose and that solved the problem. Hmm,
anybody know why?
