    - Property Grid question (simple?) Consider the following example code: ... namespace MyNamespace { public class MyClass { private int m_Count; [TypeConverter(typeof(ExpandableObjectConverter))] public int Count { get { return m_Count; } set { m_Count= value; } } // ....etc... } } When setting a PropertyGrid's SelectedObject to an instance of this class, it shows "MyNamespace.MyClass"...can I change that so that it displays something more user friendly? It just looks tacky and I'd like to fix it :) Any tips would be appreciated! TIA -sb Tag: shortcuts Tag: 101901

    - Composite controls don't persist data? (sorry, repost) Sorry, I hit enter before I finished writing the previous post... ignore that one. :-) ==== all, I made a composite control ("TitleBar") consisting of a Panel that in turn holds an Image and a Label. The Text property of this control just gets or sets the text in the Label; nothing fancy (see below). At design-time, if I change the Text property of the control once it's in a form, it appears fine. But if I close the designer and re-open it, the text is gone. What gives? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    - Control focus in enabled/disabled panels I'm having some trouble with Windows Forms in .NET 1.1 that I haven't been able to find a soution for. Below is a sample form that shows my problem. Basically, the form has two panels that switch their enabled state with the button presses. But trying to navigate the form purely with the keyboard (tab / arrow keys), results in the inability to select any controls beside buttons (the text boxes / date time picker will never recieve focus) when the one panel becomes disabled and the second enabled (or vice-versa). Does anyone know a solution for this phenomenon?

    - ClickOnce deployment security on the Internet We have a TabletPC application used by remote, roaming users who only have Internet access. We would like to place the deployment site on our Internet so they will be able to apply updates, however the issue of security for ClickOnce seems not to have been considered by Microsoft for some odd reason (considering that Microsoft has, in theory, become so security conscience these days). For example, we would like the users to be authenticated prior to applying updates. This can be somewhat dicey because we do not have AD for our internal network users in the DMZ, even if it could be done at all (which appears to not be the case). Has anyone faced this issue and, if so, how did you go about solving it? Tag: shortcuts Tag: 101885

    - Background worker / Progress Bar Hi, I'm building an app that performs a long running operation when the user clicks a button. I'm not sure how long the operation will take up front and its not an interative task. I have 2 problems at the moment, one is cancelling the operation and the other is displaying 'progress'. I've decided to use the BackgroundWorker component in .Net 2.0 but I guess this is still a relevent 1.1 question. My first problem is when clicking the run button I change the text of the button to cancel so when the user clicks it a second time I call the backgroundWorker CancelAsync. This changes the text and allows the user to run the process again. The problem is it doesn't seem to cancel the work being done...instead the work continues and eventually it calls the work completed method with e.cancelled being true etc but the main problem is not time is saved.... The second problem is updating progress to the user. Since I have no idea how long it will take and can't break the task up into steps I thought of using the progress bar and moving progress up and down just to show something is happening. Any suggestions for how to do this or a better way to do it? Thanks N Tag: shortcuts Tag: 101882

    - Restore Form To Previous Size I have an application where users can minimize it to the systray. I would like when the user restores the application from the systray to return to the previous forms size. If the form was maximized when minimized and I use the following code this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal ; the form is not resized back to its previous maximized state. I figured I could grab the location and size of the form prior to minimizing using formXLocation = this.Location.X; formYLocation = this.Location.Y; formSizeWidth = this.Size.Width; formSizeHeight = this.Size.Height; However, I am not sure exactly how to force the form back to those sizes since you can't call this.Location.X = ... since Location.X is not a variable.

    - Control.BackColor Transparency, Control.BackColor = Color.Transparent in my app i need to make a RichTextbox control transparent. i need it to be a like a pane of glass lying on a sheet of paper, where u can see everything on the sheet of paper not covered by text written on the glass pane. i need to be able to see the control or form that is underneath the RichTextbox, and at the same time to be able to write and erase text to the RichTextbox. i'm assuming that it is the backcolor that hides what is underneath a control. so i tried setting rtb.BackColor = Color.Transparent. when u do that u get a error that BackColor may not be Color.Transparent. bummer. i looked for help and found the following link on the cd that came with net 2005 ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio.v80.en/dv_fxmclictl/html/32433e63-f4e9-4305-9857-6de3edeb944a.htm the heading is: How to: Give Your Control a Transparent Background in it it tells u the following: ======================== By default, controls do not support transparent backcolors. However, you can allow your control to have a background color that is opaque, transparent, or partially transparent by using the Control.SetStyle Method in the constructor. The SetStyle method of the Control class allows you to set particular style preferences for your controls, and can be used to enable or disable support for transparent backcolors. To give your control a transparent backcolor Locate the constructor for your control class. Call the SetStyle method of your form in the constructor. SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, True) This will enable your control to support a transparent backcolor. Beneath the line of code you added in step 1, add the following line. This will set your control's BackColor to Transparent. Me.BackColor = Color.Transparent ====================================== i subclassed the RichTextbox control, added a constructor, as follows: (i tried Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.Opaque, False) & Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.Opaque, True) & omitting it alltogether, it didn't help.) --------------- Public Class clsRtbx Inherits System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox Sub New() SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, True) Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.Opaque, False) Me.BackColor = Color.Transparent End Sub End Class -------------- to test it, i did the following in the Form_Load event Dim rtb2 As New clsRtbx rtb2.Text = "" rtb2.Top = 0 rtb2.Left = 0 rtb2.Width = 300 rtb2.Multiline = True rtb2.Height = 200 rtb2.BackColor = Color.Transparent 'i tried with this line, and without it Me.Controls.Add(rtb2) rtb2.BringToFront() when i did this, i did not get the color transparency error, but it still hides everything underneath itself! am i missing something? i would greatly appreciate to find out if a control can be make transparent (as explained above, to see what is underneath it, while being able to write/erase to it), and how to do it. thanks, ray Tag: shortcuts Tag: 101864

If the width exceeds the current display area, it should show the scroll bar.

But Setting these property causes the Form's IsMDIContainer to becomes false.

    - Global objects I have an application which is comprised of, among many other things, a Main form which shows various user controls depending on which NavBar link they click on. In addition, there are many Entity classes that I created to support the application, one of which happens to be called User. In my main form I currently instantiate a User which corresponds with the user who logged in. The User object that is created (g_oCurrentUser) is declared as Private in my Main form's code, but there is a Public function (GetCurrentUser) that returns a pointer to g_oCurrentUser. My question is "Is there a way for the entity classes to "get at" the g_oCurrentUser object from the main form? The reason I need to do this is because I want to pull the current user's ID to use for populating the fkLastUpdatedByUserID field of the entities when they have been changed by the current user. Is there a way to do this? I guess my question, more generally, is how can I have Object variables that are accessible both to the Main form and to other parts of the system (e.g. user controls that will be created later and shown on the form, other Objects, modules, etc.)?

    - IronPython & Windows Forms Hello all, IronPython [ http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython ] is a great dynamic language for the .NET platform (and also works well on Mono). As well as being a great language, Python brings rapid application development to .NET, without losing the power of the breadth of the .NET API. As an example of how easy it is to develop with IronPython, I am writing a tutorial series on using Windows Forms from IronPython. So far there are five entries : * Introduction - http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_05_20.shtml#e342 * Hello World - http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_05_20.shtml#e343 * Widgets & Event Handlers - http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_05_27.shtml#e344 * Panels & Styles - http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_06_03.shtml#e351 * The Textbox Widget - http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_06_03.shtml#e352 The series is still in it's early days.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any clean way of doing this other than searching for all (embedded) resource files and checking for the appropriate language extension (e.g., "MyResource.[<LanguageExtension>].resx"). Does anyone know if there's a cleaner way of doing this (none that I can find in the automation API so far) and more importantly, how do you determine what the default language is (since no language extension is present for default language resource files).

    - Sharing a component across multiple tabs Hi, I have an application where multiple TabPages (within the same TabControl) need to contain the same components; switching tabs changes the data source feeding into the components. I guess this is a problem a lot of people have solved in the past, but I can't seem to get it to work elegantly. In my current implementation, each time I receive a "Selected" event from the TabControl I switch over my data source, then add my data panel to the newly-selected tab (which automatically removes it from the previous tab). This works reasonably well, but the data grid "flickers" irritatingly - I suspect because of the reparenting. I have tried making the TabControl and the data panel children of the same parent Panel, laid out so that the tabs abut the data panel, and simply changing the data source when the tabs change. This avoids the flickering problem - but unfortunately the 3D border of the TabPanel is very visible, so it's obvious that the data panel is not on the TabControl. If I could switch off the 3D border, this could look OK, but I can't find any way to do that. My final attempt was again to put the TabControl and the data panel on the same parent Panel, but this time making sure that the data panel was on top of the TabControl in the Z-order, and then listening for Resize events from the TabControl and handling them by resizing the data panel so that it precisely obscures the TabPanel. This *almost* works, but (a) the resizing happens a bit too slowly, and is very visible to the user, and (b) it feels really really hacky :-) There *must* be a better way of doing this, can anyone help me out?

    - Using the ASP.NET 2.0 Profile in WinForms Hi all, We have an ASP.NET 2.0 web app which uses Profiles, and want to write a little WinForms app to administer sections of the site. In a little prototype, I was able to utilize Profile in the WinForms app! I added this to my app.config: <system.web> <profile> <properties> <add name="FirstName" type="string" /> <add name="LastName" type="string" /> </properties> </profile> </system.web> (So, it's using the default SQLExpress database/provider). I then wrote this code in a form to create and save profile info: Dim p As ProfileBase = ProfileBase.Create(txtUsername.Text) p("FirstName") = txtFName.Text p("LastName") = txtLName.Text p.Save() NOW, I do have one remaining question. When using Profile in ASP.NET, ASP.NET somehow creates a "ProfileCommon" subclass of ProfileBase with strongly-typed properties (as opposed to the non-strongly-typed properties that I use above). Each Page's "Profile" property returns this ProfileCommon. How does ASP.NET create this ProfileCommon class - does it code-generate it? Secondly, is there a way that I could make use of the strongly-typed ProfileCommon class in my WinForms app? Tag: shortcuts Tag: 101817

    - Dock and Z-Order Problems I have a lingering problem with control docking and z-order. As I understand it, the control docking order based on the control z-order. So If I have two controls, Control1 & Control2 whose Dock properties are both set to Top, the control that is "Top Most" will appear on the top. I tried changing the z-order in the designer for Control2 by selecting bring to front, but when I show the form, Control1 appear on top. Programatically, I tried settting the z-order by calling the BringToFront method and then changing the Dock as follows: Control1.Dock = DockStyle.None; Control2.Dock = DockStyle.None; Control1.Location = new point (0,0); Control2.Location = new point (0,0); Control2.BringToFront(); Control1.Dock = DockStyle.Top; Control2.Dock = DockStyle.Top; But this still does not work. How do I set Control2 to be on Top of the form? I hope I don't have to muck around with the designer generated code. I am using .Net 2.0. Thanks Tag: shortcuts Tag: 101813

How can I fix this? public ref class Form1 : public System::Windows::Forms::Form { public: Form1(void) { InitializeComponent(); } protected: ~Form1() { if (components) { delete components; } } private: System::Windows::Forms::TreeView^ treeView1; private: System::ComponentModel::Container ^components; #pragma region Windows Form Designer generated code /// <summary> /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify /// the contents of this method with the code editor. /// </summary> void InitializeComponent(void) { this->treeView1 = (gcnew System::Windows::Forms::TreeView()); this->SuspendLayout(); // // treeView1 // this->treeView1->Dock = System::Windows::Forms::DockStyle::Left; this->treeView1->LabelEdit = true; this->treeView1->Location = System::Drawing::Point(0, 0); this->treeView1->Name = L"treeView1"; this->treeView1->Size = System::Drawing::Size(200, 471); this->treeView1->TabIndex = 0; // // Form1 // this->AutoScaleDimensions = System::Drawing::SizeF(6, 13); this->AutoScaleMode = System::Windows::Forms::AutoScaleMode::Font; this->ClientSize = System::Drawing::Size(696, 471); this->Controls->Add(this->treeView1); this->IsMdiContainer = true; this->Name = L"Form1"; this->Text = L"Form1"; this->Load += gcnew System::EventHandler(this, &Form1::Form1_Load); this->ResumeLayout(false); } #pragma endregion private: System::Void Form1_Load(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { Form^ f = gcnew Form(); f->MdiParent = this; f->Show(); f->WindowState = FormWindowState::Minimized; TreeNode^ tn = this->treeView1->Nodes->Add("Top1"); tn->Nodes->Add("sub1"); tn->Nodes->Add("sub2"); tn = this->treeView1->Nodes->Add("Top2"); tn->Nodes->Add("sub3"); tn->Nodes->Add("sub4"); tn->Nodes->Add("sub5"); tn = this->treeView1->Nodes->Add("Top3"); tn->Nodes->Add("sub6"); tn->Nodes->Add("sub7"); tn->Nodes->Add("sub8"); this->treeView1->ExpandAll(); } }; Tag: shortcuts Tag: 101811

    - With DataDirectory Keyword: CrystalReports.Load, CrystalReports.SetDataSource Yields Password Prompt Which You Can Cancell And Still See Report! How To Stop Prompt Hello, the step that I did to get to my current question are: I began to use the keyword DataDirectory and the next line of code. When I ran the application, I would be asked for a Login ID and password. If I clicked the cancell button on that Login window I would not see the report at all. CrystalReport1.Load(Application.StartupPath & "\..\..\CrystalReport1.rpt") So, I eventually tried the following 2 line code sequece. This time if I pressed the cancell button on the Login window it would show the report. CrystalReport1.Load(Application.StartupPath & "\..\..\CrystalReport1.rpt") CrystalReport1.SetDataSource(Employee_DatabaseDataSet) Question: The last 2 lines of code will display the report and I'm pleased with that. But, how can I stop the Login prompt? I want to just open the report without being asked for Login ID or password. Trying to finish-up a project, Christopher Lusardi Tag: shortcuts Tag: 101799

    - XSD File and Database View hi Guys! i've faced very very strange problem. i don't know whether it is a problem or its the feature of the .net 2.0. I'd made some Dataset using XSD file. in this XSD files i've created 3 tables and defined some constraint in them. i generated Data Adapter and everything was working fine. Then i made change in the database. i added one column in the one of the table and renamed the table and also created the view with the previous name of the table so that my dataset work correctly. but what surprised me is, my dataset didnt work. yeah, i spent hours to find out the problem but all my R&D failed. after lots of R&D i drop the view and again renamed the table and everything started working back. and that surprised me. My conclusion on this is : -- if you have enforced constriant in the Dataset XSD files, then do remember to modifiy tables in the file as you modify them in the database -- XSD file doesnt work with views. i mean if you have constraint enabled then XSD failes to work with view as it only requires physical tables so that constraint can be enfored. I want your vies on my experienced because this is something i cant find it anywhere and only experienced developers can tell me why, what and how on this problem. please let me know if there is something i'm missing. thanks, Lucky Tag: shortcuts Tag: 101794

    - Clipboard and custom data hi, there's some very strange with the clipboard (I'm using .NET 2.0). I tried to set an object (type is inherited from TreeNode) to the clipboard. This works fine but when I want to retrieve this object from clipboard it doesn't work. It's strange because the GetDataPresent methode returns "true" when I ask wether the requested type of object is present at the clipboard. However getting the object returns "null". Here's some code of my app: // copy to clipboard TreeNodeEx copy = (TreeNodeEx)treeCards.SelectedNode.Clone(); DataObject data = new DataObject(); data.SetData("Test", copy); Clipboard.SetDataObject(data); // paste from clipboard TreeNodeEx t = Clipboard.GetDataObject().GetData("Test") as TreeNodeEx; // type of the object [Serializable] class TreeNodeEx : TreeNode { [...] } Why doesn't this work?

    - Buttonrendering, datagrid Hi all, When a cell of a datagrid is set to type combobox, it doesnt show the little dropdown button until the actual cell is clicked. I want the cell to have the button all the time, also when not clicked. As far as i know, the only way to do this is to draw your own little button in the cell by using the rendering.. this works fine, however i have drawn a normal button now, i want an exact copy of a "combobox-button". Does anyone have any idea how to accomplish this? The normal button i get using following code.. It is gray, which should be lightblue and i use a "v" to show on the button, which isnt ideal either.. Many thanks for any suggestions.

The background image size is 34kb and it is in Jpeg format.All the other forms also has many images since we have unique look and feel. The issue I am facing is performance . Application works fast when I don't have background image on my base form ( in turn we don't have any background image for any of the form), But when I apply background image for the base form or individual form , screen loads slowly ie.. the controls on the screen loads slowly . is there any way to overcome this problem Technology - Windows form in VB.Net Tag: shortcuts Tag: 101769

    - Drag and Drop Outlook attachment into a Windows Form Control I previously performed drag and drop between 2 lists within a Windows form. Right now I am looking for something a little more complex and I am not able to find a way to do it. In just few words, I want to drag a file (in my case a PDF file) which is an attachment to an email in Outlook 2003 client and drop it over a control (in my case a command button or anything else) within a window in my application. When file is dropped over my designated control, I do not need to open it I just want to save it into a SQL database. Saving files in SQL databases is not an issue because I am already doing it, my only problem is I don't know how to capture the dropped file into a variable in order to be afterwards able to save it into the database. The same question would apply for other formats too (e.g. BMP, JPG, TIFF, DOC, XLS, etc.) if each type should be handled in a different way. I appreciate any hints into this issue.

Hi,

I'm using short cuts for some context menu strip items (for example
"copy" CTRL+C). The context menu belongs to a tree view control. When I
work with another control of my form than the tree view control, the
short cuts shouldn't be enabled because pressing CTRL+C in a text box
shouldn't invoke the handler for the "copy" context menu item of the
tree view control. Is there a way to process the short cuts only when
the tree view control is focused?

Thanks for any help,
Steffen

Steffen,

This is exactly how it works. The form checks only for shortcuts declared on
the level of the main menu. If it finds one there it executes it regardless
of the currently focused control. Shortcuts declared on the level of a
context menu are executed only if the control that has this context menu
attched has the focus also.

Can you post some compilabel sample that demonstrates your porblem?

@ Stoitcho Goutsev (100):

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the context menu items are also
contained in the main menu (I move them from main menu to context menu
and vice versa when the corresponding menu is opening).

At the moment I'm using the KeyDown-event of the tree view control to
assoziate short cuts manually. Not the best solution, but it works.

Thanks,
Steffen
