    - how to add button column in Datagrid Hello everyone, I was wondering if I can extend the Windows Forms Datagrid to add my own ButtonColumn (like in ASP.NET Datagrid). I also would like to add my own Formatted Text box column. Is it possible to extend the current Datagrid to do this. Please let me know Thanks -- Rajiv Tag: remove combox 3d border Tag: 76786

    - Running with XP-Style In MSDN the topic "Add the Manifest to the Executable File" under "Using Windows XP Visual Styles With Controls on Windows Forms" explains how to add the manifest resource to the executable after it's been built. So after a subsequent rebuild the proccess (of adding the resource) must be repeated. Is there a way the VS.NET 2003 IDE can do this automatically? Thanks, Opher.

    - TextBox carret not placed correctly Hi, When a user clicks a TextBox on a modal form, the caret immediately moves to the clicked location within the existing text. On a non-modal form, the user's TextBox click sets the focus appropriately, but fails to set the caret. How do I correct this behavior? When the user clicks in the midst of a word within a TextBox, the caret should be placed precisely between the two characters at the click-point. Any ideas? Thanks...

    - AutoScroll property Hi, I have a very long Form whose AutoScroll property is set to true. The user can easily scroll vertically through the form. The problem is that as the user drags the scroll marker up and down, the form doesn't actually scroll. Instead, the user must release the mouse button before the form redraws. Is there any way to make scrollable forms behave like every other Windows application on the market (Word, VS.NET, etc.) in that the view would actually scroll in real-time as the user drags the scroller knob?

    - AutoScale and MDI child maximized forms Hi, We have developed a MDI application using small fonts, when running the application in a Large fonts setup it works ok AS LONG we make sure that the mdi child forms open in normal mode (not maximized), if they open maximized the control on the right and bottom of the form are lost (because the controls are wrongly resized). I do want the controls to resize... what i don't want is it to fail while it does it. Also: we worked around it so any time you open a form it opens normalized instead of maximized (and that works fine, but it is a workaround). Is this a bug?

    - Q: Menu, Toolbar, DockingWindows free controls recomendation? Hello! Availability of different Win.Forms controls libraries makes choice hard, so I decided to ask community. I do look for libraries which would provide at least following functionality: Office 2003 command bar VS.NET docking windows One limtiation I have is that they need to be LGPL/MIT or any other open source licence based - which would allow for integration with simple commercial product. We do need to have full source code at our unlimited disposal. Using commercial solutions i.e. Infragistics, ComponentOne or others was ruled out after some tests and licence condition evaluations.

    - Form.Close() returns void? Hi, At a certain point in my application, I have access to a Form object. I want to close that form: form.Close(); There are any number of reasons why this form might not close. A common reason might be that the user answered "No" when the form's OnClosing() override asked him "Are you sure you want to close this form?" It seems like Form.Close() should return a *bool* indicating whether or not the closure was successful. I can think of lots of tricky workarounds to get a hold of this value, but the fact that Close() isn't designed to return this crucial value directly makes me wonder if I'm using the wrong approach to close the form. Is there another method that I should consider? Thanks... Tag: remove combox 3d border Tag: 76746

    - Databound Combobox doesn't call SelectedIndexChanged event I have a databound drop-down-list style combobox that is databound to a dataset. Initially there are no items in the dataset/list. But when I later do a Fill on the dataset when data is present. When this happens, one item is added to the listbox and that item becomes selected. However, the SelectedIndexChanged event is not getting called. If I select the item again in the GUI, then the event does get called. Why isn't it getting called initially? I tried creating a basic combobox that is not databound and tried adding a single item to that list in code. The event gets called correctly in this case. So it apparently is just when the item is generated from the data binding that the event isn't called. Tag: remove combox 3d border Tag: 76739

    - form spawning on its own I have a form that uses the UIP app. block for navigation. The app is a testing application. The first part is the tutorial test. The 2nd part is the actual test.

I think it started happening after I was working on a section that changes the current culture when a button is clicked. I'm not doing anykind of new() calls on the form, it just spawns automatically. Does anyone know any ideas to help figure out why? thanks a lot! Tag: remove combox 3d border Tag: 76738

    - Adding Controls to a User Control at Design Time I posted this to ms.p.d.framework.windowsforms.controls but the only response was from somebody who had the same problem. Can anybody here give me any guidance - or suggest a more appropriate group? I am building a small control with two panels and a splitter. When I use the control in designing an app at design time I want to be able to add this control to my form and then drag other controls on to it to be contained within the panels. Although I can drag controls on to it they do not get 'captured' by it. I added a couple of properties so that the contained controls can be specified but I would rather go the drag and drop route.

I added a form using Project->Add New Item then under the Visual C++ folder I selected the "Windows Form (.NET)" template and give it the name "Test". 3. From there I #include "Test.cpp" (Test.cpp includes Test.h), built the project (it compiles successfully) and execute. 4. The program runs and prints "Hello, World" but the form does not show.

    - Adding an 'internal' control to the toolbox. I frequently define internal UserControl-derived classes in my WinForms apps: internal class MyUserControl:UserControl{ ... } I'll often need to embed these controls in a Form, whose class is contained in the same assembly as the control. As far as I know, the only way to do this using the designer is to add the UserControl-derived object to the toolbox and then drag it from the toolbox to the target form. To accomplish this, I use the toolbox's Add/Remove Items functionality. When adding new UserControl(s) to the toolbox, the user is asked to choose an assembly containing the UserControl. I browse for and choose the assembly that I'm currently working on, call it /debug/MyAssembly.dll. The problem is that the toolbox is only prepared to accept UserControl items that are declared as "public," not those declared as "internal." For a variety of reasons, I'd much prefer to have UserControls declared as internal if I'm not exposing them to the outside world. The only workaround is to temporarily change the scope of the UserControl to public, recompile, Add the item to the toolbox, change the modifier back to internal, and recompile again. I then have access to the control from my toolbox. This clearly an ugly workaround. Do you know of an easier way to add internal controls to the toolbox? Thanks...

    - Printing Graphics.PageBounds not accurate Hi, I'm writing a check printing program that needs to put a MICR line 6/16" from the bottom of the page. Since the checks will be printed on a laser printer using letter sized paper the printable area is not actually 8 1/2" x 11". I'm using an HP LaserJet 4000 and it cannot print all the way to the physical page boundaries. It has the following limitations: Top Margin = 0.18" Left Margin = 0.25" Right Margin = 0.25" Bottom Margin = 0.28" The problem I'm having is the the graphics object being passed with PrintPageEventArgs is reporting its PageBounds property as the full physical page size (850, 1100) instead of (804, 1050). The other properties are as follows: Top = 0 Left = 0 Right = 850 Bottom = 1100 Width = 1100 Height = 950 I would have thought the PageBounds would be as follows: Top = 18 Left = 25 Right = 1075 Bottom = 822 Width = 1050 Height = 804 It appears the drawing methods in the graphics are scaling the e.Graphics.PageBounds to fit within the physical page bounds which makes it difficult to position gdi objects at exact physical locations on the printed page. In other words I can draw anywhere within the e.Graphics.PageBounds and the results are visible on the printed page. Is this a known bug in the .net printing or is it possibly a problem with my printer driver? Microsoft word does not have a problem determing what the physical bounds of the printed page are. Is there some other way to get the physical page bounds so that I can rescale the drawing points and rectangles? Thanks for your help, Gregg Walker Tag: remove combox 3d border Tag: 76682

    - Tab Control ComboBox Here's one! I have a Tab Control that consists of 4 Tab Pages. These pages will be removed and added as needed as the user checks and unchecks certain checkboxes. On the Form_Load event, I am calling routines that populate the various ComboBoxes List's that are contained by these Tab Pages. When these Combo Boxes are populated, I initialize the text property with a 'String.Empty'. At this point, the Tab Pages have not been added to the Tab Control. Now, when the user adds a Tab Page to the Tab Control, such as : tabStaff.TabPages.Add(tbSystemUser) the text property is automatically being set the the first item in the list. This is what I DON'T want to happen. My Qutestions are: Why or How are these properties being set and How can I prevent it?

Is it possible to get this functionality into a windows form with the web browser in place? ideally i would like to have a button that increases the size and one to decrease it. Any ideas would be great. Regards Dave Tag: remove combox 3d border Tag: 76674

    - richtext box and SES_EMULATESYSEDIT style Hello, I am trying to use EM_SETEDITSTYLE property on the rich text box by doing following sendmessage WindowsAPI.SendMessage(customControl11.Handle,1228/*EM_SETEDITSTYle*/, 1,1); From richedit.h I find that style SES_EMULATESYSEDIT is represented by 1. But this call returns 0 indicating that new style is not been updated. I am curios how does rich text behaves when configured to emulate the normal edit control. basically I am trying to use rich control because it has the ability to change the line spacings. All rest of the functionality of the rich text box, I want to be same as the normal edit control. Any clues / pointers on the same. Thanks and Regard sk Tag: remove combox 3d border Tag: 76668

    - scrollbar problem.. Dear all, I'm writting a .net winForm application with C#, but I'm getting the following exception when the user scrolls a scrollbar. The strange thing is that the exception happens only some of the time, and seems pretty random. However, once an exception occurs with a scrollbar and when I choose 'continue', that particular scrollbar will raise the exception everytime I click on it from that point on. Anyone encounter the same problem before? Any solution to this problem? At the very least I wanna know how I could catch that exception.. Thanks~!

    - Use a "Satelite info form" Hello, I've the following problem: From within my main form I want to lanuch another form for displaying some information. Launching this information form form the main form's load event results in a info form which is blocked (means can't be used because seems to be in the background) I got the same result when using the VisibleChanged or the Activated (first call only) event (I my opinion events fired when the form is "really") But now launching this information form from within a buttons click event or a timers tick event results full working form beside the main form. My questions are: What is the difference and how can I launch a working info form within the main form's load event? Thx Thorsten Tag: remove combox 3d border Tag: 76661

    - Can you intercept click event? Hello, I am trying to control tooltips in my winform. I want to only turn them on when the user chooses a menu item called WhatThe. When they do I change the form's cursor to Cursors.Help and activate the tooltip. The problem is I don't want the user to actually be able to interact with the form while in this state. If they click the mouse I want to intercept that event and set the form's cursor back to the default and deactivate the tooltip. Is there a way I can intercept all click and double click events on the winform? And if the cursor is currently set to Help cancel the event otherwise forward it on to what ever they were clicking on? I would also want to treat the keyboard the same way (if in help mode any keyboard event would take it out of help mode). thanks, Scott Tag: remove combox 3d border Tag: 76654

    - Does global declarated "iexplore.exe" exist? Hi. I've got a little not typical problem right here. I would like to open using InternetExplorer ("iexplore.exe") my link from my application. I do it like that: System::Diagnostics::Process::Start(S"iexplorer.exe", S"www.wp.pl"); And it works, but problem is - I have to check does "iexplote.exe" (or other Web Browser) exist. I do it like that: if(System::IO::File::Exists(S"iexplorer.exe") == true) { .... } and it doesn't work - because "iexplorer.exe" isn't located in local folder but is declarated as global in system (global example: using CMD check "iexplorer.exe www.wp.pl" - this page starts correct). How can I get true/false does this exe file exist, using name of web browser executable file? ("iexplore.exe" or others execs) declarated as global ? Good day, thx for wrote.

    - MDI application design Hello, I have created Application that has MDI interface. Indeed application works as it should, but I have question related to its design. Assume my application can change Zoom state of the opened document from the toolbar (toolbar for all opened document is the same). Which component of application should change this zoom: the main form where toolbar situated or this Document through the main form should change Zoom? I hope it's not complicated to understand :) Thanks Tag: remove combox 3d border Tag: 76646

    - Selecting a combobox item when textchanged event fires... I have an odd problem with a combobox and selecting an item in it. I have a combobox that has handlers for both SelectedIndexChanged and also TextChanged. In the TextChanged handler, if the text matches one of the items in the combobox, the SelectedIndex for the combobox is set to that item. This fires the SelectedIndexChanged event which enables/disables some other controls. Seems pretty simple. However, when I then click my OK button and go to the form closing event handler, the SelectedIndex has been changed to -1. I have verified that I am not doing this anywhere in my code. If I simply select and item in the combo box, things work fine and SelectedIndex is not -1 when I get to the form closing event handler. There is something different between the two, but I have no idea what it is. I set the SelectedIndex programmatically and end up in the same SelectedIndexChanged handler, but the selection is lost sometime later. Any ideas? I'm stumped.

    - SelectedListViewItemCollection problems Hi All, I understand that to get the items that are selected in a listview, you read the SelectedItems porperty of the list view. The type of this property is SelectedListViewItemCollection, and this type is meant to be defined in System.Windows.Forms.dll. But whenever I try use this type, I get compilation errors saying that the type SelectedListViewItemCollection is unknown. I have made sure that my solution has the System.Windows.Forms.dll in its references, and that I am using the correct using statement (using System.Windows.Forms;) but I still have this problem. I am using Framework 1.1. Does anyone know what the problem could be, or if there is any solution? Is there something wrong with my System.Windows.Forms.dll assembly?

    - no link between a property in propertygrid and attribute System.Componentmodel editor I have build an add-in to visualstudio to assist and help the programmer while working in visual studio enterprise manager for many tasks not supported by the enterprise manager. So while developping the programmer can interract with a form that contain a system.windows.forms.propertygrid and could show by a simple mouseclick all the storedprocedures in the database but it doesnt acts nothing happened i don't understand why? the code used is: public class Editor : System.Drawing.Design.UItypeEditor { private ComboBox cb; private IWindowsFormsEditorService edSvc = null; public Editor() { } public override object EditValue(ITypeDescriptorContext context, IServiceProvider provider, object value) { if (context != null && context.Instance != null && provider != null) { edSvc = (IWindowsFormsEditorService)provider.GetService(typeof(IWindowsFormsEditorService)); if (edSvc != null) { string oldSelectedValue = ""; cb = new ComboBox(); cb.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(300,100); cb.Sorted = true; SQLDemoHelper helper = new SQLDemoHelper(); helper.Connect(); foreach(string s in helper.GetAllStoredProcedures()) { cb.Items.Add(s); } helper.DisConnect(); cb.SelectedValueChanged += new EventHandler(this.ValueChanged); if ( value is string ) { oldSelectedValue = value as string; cb.SelectedValue = value; } else { Debug.WriteLine(value.GetType().FullName); } edSvc.DropDownControl(cb); if ( cb.SelectedValue == null ) { if ( cb.SelectedItem == null ) { return oldSelectedValue; } else { value = (string)cb.SelectedItem; } } else { value = (string)cb.SelectedValue; } } } return value; } public override UITypeEditorEditStyle GetEditStyle(ITypeDescriptorContext context) { if (context != null && context.Instance != null) { return UITypeEditorEditStyle.DropDown; } return base.GetEditStyle(context); } private void ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (edSvc != null) { edSvc.CloseDropDown(); } } } // and this is the property that i want to show in the propertygrid [System.ComponentModel.Description("InsertProcedure")] [System.ComponentModel.Category("stored Procedure")] [System.ComponentModel.Editor( typeof(Editor), typeof(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor) )] public string InsertProc { get { if( this.datatableRow.IsInsert_Proc_44Null() ) { return "No inser procedure selected"; } else { return this.datatableRow.Insert_Proc_44; } } set { this.datatableRow.Insert_Proc_44 = value; } } this property is a part of a class called datatableProperty instances of this class are given to property grid NB:I have already wrote the same code in another windows application but without addin and its working well thanks Tag: remove combox 3d border Tag: 76631

How can I remove the 3d border of a combobox on a windows form.

even on a box using xp style it is painting with a 3d border.
it does not seem to have a BorderStyle property.

could I do this by overriding OnPaint at all?
