    - Process.Start problems I'm just starting to learn VB.Net (winforms) - having known classic vb for years... I was trying to build a 'dll compiler' just for grins, using the vbc.exe that resides in the DotNet Directory. I have a form that browses to that directory, and builds a string from it, adding "vbc.exe", along with the proper arguments, like this: vbcApp = txtDotNetDir.Text & "\vbc.exe" Process.Start(vbcApp & " /out:" & sFinal & " /t:library " & txtCBDir.Text) sFinal merely builds a string with a path and the name of the new dll to save - - It always stops on this line and says : An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in system.dll Additional information: The system cannot find the file specified I've double checked and each of the variables in the equation have valid paths/filenames and if I used it all manually at the command prompt, it would work just fine What am I doing wrong here?

    - Owner-Drawn Buttons in C# Hello, I need a button control that will allow me to display mutiple icons/bitmaps simultaneously. Say for example you had a standard Forms.Button with text "Device 1" and you need to display small icons in each corner of the button to show state/status of Device 1. Is an owner-drawn button my only option? This sounds like a daunting task. I am unable to find any code examples or 3rd party products that even come close. Its hard to believe that I am the only one that needs such an animal. Please help if you can. Thanks, Jeff Tag: How do I simulate a tab event in code? Tag: 75655

    - performance problerm with custom control I have a custom control A, that has two text fields and a datagrid object. the datagrid is populated within the control, quering the information from the database at the time of construction. Now I have a Form, with a tabbed control, let's name it B. On the object B we need to display N instances of object A with all the data filled. But for some reason, any time N gets larger than 10 the program slows significantly and if we need to add 30 or more instances of A the program gets a timeout exception. Any ideas?

    - Icon in Task Bar Hi, I have a VB.Net winforms program that monitors some report folder. All works well in that respect. I have the program start 'Minimized' and I also have the program automatically start when the system starts. However, the program sits Minimized as a big block in the Task Bar (Bar at bottom with the 'Start' button). What i'd really like is to have it be displayed as just an Icon with the collection of icons over on the right in the task bar near the clock. Is there sosme simple way to do that in Visual Studio so instead of just starting minimized, it just starts as an Icon? Thanks, -- John Tag: How do I simulate a tab event in code? Tag: 75632

    - Sorting TreeView Hello, Standard Tree.Sorted property doesn't sort nodes like I want to. It just place them in a specific place while adding new node. This is not suitable for me, because during insertion I don't know node's name so it is placed in the end of all nodes. To make things clear I will cover some source code. Sorting works fine when I do like this: TreeNode newNode = TreeNode("Title"); Tree.Nodes.Add (newNode); This is my situation. As you see, when I add new node, I don't know its name so the sorting doesn't work. TreeNode newNode = TreeNode(); Tree.Nodes.Add (newNode); newNode.Text = "Title"; I need to be my tree sorted at any moment. Even when I change any node's name - it's place in the tree should be changed. What would you suggest for me? Is there any standard solutions or I should write my own sorting procedure? Maybe you could give me already written treeview sorting procedure? Thank you for any help. Vycka P.S. Visual Studio .Net C# P.S.S.

    - Crash if I rename Column Name Hello, there, I am using DataGrid to bind an ArrayList of an user-defined class. The user-defined class contains some public properties.

    - How to Marshal a call to Timer Hello Esteemed Developers and Esteemed Experts, I have a background-running-thread in my application that is designed and developed at Windows Forms (.NET) by using Visual C++ .NET Standard on Windows 2000 Professional O.S. Whenever the required job is done in that background-running-thread, I would like to Enable and Start the Timer to do the related job from the background-running-thread. It is written in MSDN Library that "It requires that the user code have a UI message pump available and always operate from the same thread, or marshal the call onto another thread." I understood that I need to marshal the call the starting and enabling statements. Due to being new in Visual C++ .NET, I don't know how to marshal it. Please kindly guide me.

    - VS 2003 Designer bug? -- Duplicate declaration error Hi, I have a very simple custom control (just a button with a bitmap background). Sometimes when I add several of the controls to a form and run the app the last one or two controls appear to lose their properties and are redrawn blank at the top left of the form. I finally noticed that when this happens there's an item in the task list that says : "Duplicate declaration of member 'Font'", though the build is successful. The app runs fine (all controls in their proper place) and the .cs file is fine. It's just that the designer goes a little crazy. I've found several posts about this (mostly the same message, but sometimes with member 'Location' or 'Size'), but most people think it was just a problem with an early version of Visual Studio 2003. I've got the June 2004 version and don't have a clue what I can do to solve this. I'd appreciate any help! Especially if someone from MS could look up the error message. I tried msdn, but don't find it. To attempt to recreate copy several of the same custom control onto a form. I can usually make the bug occur when I copy/paste 12-15 instances of the control.

    - Exception Handling and Call stack unwinding Hi all, Am experiencing a problem with the Application.ThreadException event which the documentation indicates is fired in the event of an unhandled exception. It seems to be ignoring the exception handling further down the call stack - in fact it never seems to unwind the call stack at all. I am not sure if this is me doing something wrong or will that event fire in the event of any exception being raised that is not caught within the same routine or possibly even the calling routine? So the question is does the event fire before or after the unwinding of the call stack and if its before, does it stop the callstack unwinding?

I presume you have to use XML classes, however my experience using xml is next to none. The example code I have seen put's the data return into a DataSet, but this won't work due to the fact the GetCitiesByCountry returns as a string...... Can any one point me in the correct direction?

    - Win98 - Failed to load resources from resource file. Please check your Setup. Hi, I'm trying to run a Windows Forms (C#) application. It runs well on Win XP and W2K. Yet on Windows 98 we receive an error just before or while the GUI is being rendered (after displaying a splash screen, which is working on Win98). The error is 'Failed to load resources from resource file. Please check your Setup.' This error *has* been posted several times. I tried all the solution mentioned (Remove [STAThread], check if my resource files are there (the app is localized, but the resource files are there), download the needed (?) language packages, reinstall the framework,...) To no avail. The error keeps appearing. Also after reinstalling the application. We tried building a giant try-catch block to write a log about the error, but the log is never being written. We tried to use Filemon but that didn't give much information about where exactly the error occurs. The error seems to be an obvious reference to resource files missing. Does this mean that for a Win98 machine, we need to manually add some files to the program folder to make sure it will run. thanks, Vincent (Was originally posted in microsoft.public.dotnet.framework by mistake) Tag: How do I simulate a tab event in code?

    - Smart Client I have a Windows Forms application that can run as a SmartClient. I am able to share the application .exe over a LAN by doing the following: 1) Create a reaonly share on the folder that contains the .exe 2) Have network users connect to the share and run the .exe This all works, but leaves a couple of things to be desired: 1) The share shows all the assemblies in the folder. This is kind of ugly. I would prefer that the user only see the .exe and not all the other .exes and .dlls in the folder. (Any suggestions)? 2) I would like to expose the .exe in a web page. I tried adding the .exe as a hyperlink in a web page. But when the user selects the hyperlink, they get an ugly message about how executables can be dangerous for their system. What is the recommended way to publish a Windows Forms Smart App? Can anyone point to an example of a .exe that is deployed in a web page? Thanks Tag: How do I simulate a tab event in code?

    - VScrollBar: Must BLINK to process key hits like Home, End, Page Up, ... ???? I want a VScrollBar that does NOT blink, and still recognizes the Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Arrow Up, Arrow Down keys. Unfortunately, the Arrow Keys will always return focus to the VScrollBar. Then, if I set focus to my user control every time the VScrollBar value changes, the VScrodoesn't recognize the Home, End, Page Up, Page Down keys. This is NUTS! There seems to be NO combination of settings that will give me normal behavior with this control. Any suggestions? Steve Tag: How do I simulate a tab event in code? Tag: 75534

    - Need some advice on a toolbar on a form I have a toolbar on a form. It has buttons like Close, Save, Cancel, Add, Edit, Delete etc. When the form is displayed the user can't save or cancel anything yet. and when the use clicks on add they can save or cancel but they can't do anything else. Should I make the buttons visible/invisible depending on the situation or just enable/disable them? Which is more aesthetic and least confusing on the user?

    - PrinterStatus? I'm trying to grab printer status for a printer with WMI I got a mo("PrinterState").tostring of "128" for a paused HP printer. What is "128" equate to? It did give a mo("PrinterStatus").tostring of 1 = "paused" which was correct but it took a while to display the correct state. When I un-paused the printer, I got a mo("PrinterState").tostring of "0". What is "0" equate to? It got a mo("PrinterStatus").tostring of 0. Is "0" mean ok, ready? Anyone had experience in correctly grabbing info from WMI? I'm getting info but not consistent info and i don't know how to translate the codes since they don't match up with the ones in the WMI SDK. Any clues as how to effectively use Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from Win32_Printer") to get accurate info on networked printers within a domain?

    - DrawImageUnscaled appears to draw image to incorrect size Using vb.net 1.1 I'm trying to draw an image to a form using the 'DrawImageUnscaled' method. it seems that some images are drawn to the correct size, and some are 10 or 20% larger and I haven't found anything in the different images that would contribute to this. All the images I'm testing with are jpg. Can anyone think of any reason why the size would be inconsistent with the original size of the image? -- moondaddy@nospam.com Tag: How do I simulate a tab event in code? Tag: 75525

    - ListView control Hi, I need to display multiple items, each has a textual description, icon and enable multiple selection. So far the ListView control seems to be the ideal control to use. However, another requirement is that some of the items will have a checkbox next to them while others will have a button or something similar. Can I achieve this behavior using the ListView control ? Is there some other free control that I can use? I'd appreciate any recommendations.

    - Premature resize event only on Japanese system? I have an application that's failing only when it's run on a Japanese Win2KPro SP4 system because a form is receiving a resize event "prematurely", or at least before the form is prepared to receive it. With dotNet 1.1 installed, the application works as expected on US-English, German and Italian systems, but fails on the Japanese system. I see that the system does NOT have the Japanese dotNet Framework installed; could this be the problem? The error messages do come out in Japanese though. Is there a documented or known difference in the order events are fired in form creation in a Japanese system? I can code to handle the condition, but I wasn't expecting to have to do that. -- Bert Hyman | St. Paul, MN | bert@visi.com Tag: How do I simulate a tab event in code? Tag: 75520

    - Proxy settings for smart client Hi, Do I need to change any proxy setting on client side to access the smart client over the internet? Thanks in advance, Pankaj Tag: How do I simulate a tab event in code? Tag: 75514

I would like to trap TextChanged events and validate them for correct values
from values coming in from a pen panel. If the values are valid, I want to
automatically tab to the next control.

But.... How do I raise the tab event in software?

Have you looked at SendKeys? It feels like a hack sometimes but it's there
for a reason.

SendKeys.Send("{TAB}");

There's also GetNextControl(...).
Might work out better.

You can set the SelectedIndex property of the TabControl as well.
