    - Toolbar buttons Hi, If I set a very long text string on a toolbar button, the string is truncated. Even if I make the button higher, the text does not get displayed on several lines as it would if I had ordinary button. How can I fix this (short of making the button very wide)?

    - Finding TEXT of DataGrid Column I am trapping the MouseDown event and am looking to get the value of the cell and also the Column name. I can get the value of the cell with the code below. I can also get the Column name if the DataGrid has a TableStyle. The problem comes when the DataGrid uses the default TableStyle. Using the debugger I walked down the class structure and could find the information at this point dataGrid1.Controls[hti.Column].dataGrid.defaultTableStyle.gridColumns.List._items I can't seem to find my way there at design time, programmatically. Any help would be appreciated. Dave DavidElliott@BellSouth.net ======================================================= if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right) { DataGridTableStyle ts1; gridBoxText = ""; if (hti.Type == DataGrid.HitTestType.Cell) { gridBoxText = dataGrid1[hti.Row, hti.Column].ToString(); ts1 = dataGrid1.TableStyles["JobRecordCollection"]; if (ts1 != null) gridHdrText = ts1.GridColumnStyles[hti.Column].HeaderText; else gridHdrText = dataGrid1.Controls[hti.Column].Text; } else if (hti.Type == DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnHeader) { gridHdrText = dataGrid1.Controls[hti.Column].Text; } } } Tag: two-way databinding radio buttons on a windows form?

    - Detecting DragDrop target when dropped into Explorer I have an application which i need to allow a user to perform drag & drop of a "virtual file" into explorer. Upon dropping the file into explorer, my app would create a blank file at the location and begin downloading data into it. I can get the app to create an empty file for use with the DoDragDrop(), which essentially moves a blank file (e.g. "%TempFolder%\foo.txt") into the proper destination, but there doesn't appear to be any method of retrieving the location of the FileDrop where explorer has moved this file to. Any ideas? Tag: two-way databinding radio buttons on a windows form? Tag: 54800

    - ComboBox : display different string than the selected list item What I'm trying to do : - Add a form to a new project - Add a comboBox to the form with DropDownStyle = DropDown - In form load : ComboBox1.Items.Add("01 - USA") ComboBox1.Items.Add("31 - Holland") ComboBox1.Items.Add("33 - France") ComboBox1.Items.Add("41 - Switzerland") The desired behaviour is that when a user selects a list item only the number is displayed in the textbox part of the comboBox. So if "01 - USA" is selected only "01" should be displayed. Roughly translating the way this would be done in VB6 I tried the following code : Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectionChangeCommitted( _ ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles ComboBox1.SelectionChangeCommitted Dim listItemText As String If ComboBox1.SelectedIndex >= 0 Then 'Calculate and store the value we want to display listItemText = ComboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString If listItemText.Length >= 2 Then listItemText = listItemText.Substring(0, 2) End If 'Cancel the selection ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = -1 'Update the textbox part ComboBox1.Text = listItemText End If End Sub However this doesn't work. I've also tried experimenting with the SelectedValueChanged, SelectedIndexChanged and TextChanged events, with no better results. It seems that changing the selectedIndex in any of these routines always cancels out changes made via the text property, whatever the order the operations are carried out in. I've finally resorted to using a timer to update ComboBox1.Text after all these events have finished firing, but it's a very shoddy solution. Surely there must be a way to do this properly?

    - How to sync combo's selected item to the field's value of the current record I'm running win2k and VB.NET (.net 1.1) I have a data entry form and one of the fields is a combo who's datasource is a dataview. The dataview has 2 columns, an ID column - integer, and a name column - string. The form is not databound so the form gets populated with data for the selected reocord via values from a business class. When the use selects an item from this combo's dropdown list, it writes the ID value to the business class, and desplays the name value in the combo.text property. When I navigate to a different record, the ID value changes for this field. How can i get the combo to syncronize to this ID value, or at least set the combo's text to the correct Name? Only the ID values are persited in the business class and not the name values. In MS Access and some 3rd party combos for VB6 all you had to do was set the combo's value to the ID and it automaticly scrolled to the correct item in the dropdown. Thanks. -- George Padvorac georgep@dontspamme-nwis.net Tag: two-way databinding radio buttons on a windows form? Tag: 54792

    - Exception blocked in Application.Run() Hi, I have a very strange strange problem. All the exception that are thrown in my Windows Forms do not thrigger the display of the traditional exception dialog box that is usually shown. Instead, it seems that the Application class, or any other class that manage the unhandled exception in Windows Forms, catch it and silently continue program execution. Three questions: 1) Is there anyone here that had the same problem? 2) How can it be corrected? 3) Am I missing a property or a setting somewhere?

    - How to make Win32 controls transparent? Hi, I found that checkbox, label and groupbox have painting problem with their background. I create simple frame with background picture and add checkbox, label and groupbox on it. I set transparent background on controls to see whole picture. Yes, it works. But, if I set controls style to System (to get correct XP Visual Style): checkbox and label background lost transparency!!! groupbox doesn't repaint background (group box is like window throw the frame) So, I think that these three controls in not implemented correctly in .NET. So I start to implement my own Win32 controls. I create the "static" control (label is based on it). But the problem is the same: "static" control is not transparent. So, question is: "How to make Win32 controls transparent?" I think, that it could be done successfuly, because checkbox and radiobutton is the same Win32 class, and radiobutton is painted correctly, but checkbox is not. Thanks for any advice.

    - Shared properties across instances I have a console app running that references an Class Library. The console app runs fine, but I want to be able to run a windows form that will let me poll properties of the Class and reset them. As my console is running, it checks these properties, if one of the properties gets set, then my console app knows that it is supposed to do something, like shut down. I have setup a Shared property in my class: Private Shared sTest As Integer Public Shared Property Test() As Integer Get Return sTest End Get Set(ByVal Value As Integer) sTest = Value End Set End Property As I understood it, Shared properties are available to all INSTANCES of a class. Granted that the Windows form is probably a different process than the Console...is there anyway to create a truley shared property across all instances in all processes? IS there another way to do this? My console App is running through records in a DB, so I could just update the record it is working on, but that would be tedious since it would require me to poll the DB way to often. Any help would be appreciated or clues on another way to do this... Tag: two-way databinding radio buttons on a windows form? Tag: 54771

    - DataGrid Updating DataSource I have a datagrid that displays a few columns from a table. I need to be able to update a process date on each row if any of the displayed columns get updated. The process date ("UPDT_DT") is not in the datagrid. I put an event handler on the textboxes in the grid so I can capture when a change occurs, but I can't seem to get the process date column updated. Here is the code I tried: CType (Me.BindingContextdgLists.DataSource, "UW_LISTS").Current, DataRowView).Row.Item("UPDT_DT") = Date.Now The line of code executes but when "UPDT_DT" is updated it resets the row in the data grid.

    - How do I enable Add button in custom collection editor? Hi all. I am developing PropertyGrid runtime support for a custom class. One of my attributes in this class is an ArrayList that holds instances of another custom class. I have derived a custom collection editor for this list attribute. When this collection editor is invoked, it does display the correct caption which I assume means it knows the type of objects it is managing. My problem is the Add/Remove buttons are still disabled. From all the research I have done, I believe it is necessary for me to derive this custom collection editor because I am not working with a collection that provides access to an Item attribute for type discovery, right? I have no further enhancements that need to be made to this collection editor, so do I need to be overriding the EditValue method? If so, what should my implementation of EditValue be doing? Also, I do not have a custom TypeConverter written for the EmbeddedObject type. Is this a problem? If anyone out there can help me, I would be more than grateful. As it sits right now, I am as clueless as top management at a software design conference when it comes to collection editors. MSDN is of no help. There are a few article for the picking out there, but none explain the inner workings of the CollectionEditor in any detail. If anyone can point be to some good articles, I would love to see them. I feel like if I could better understand the CollectionEditor class, I might not be as clueless when trying to use them in real world scenarios. Thanks in advance!

    - Form, CancelButton, Escape, prevent Form close Hi, I have a form that has a Close button. I set this close button to be the CancelButton for my form. When the close button is pressed, if there have been any changes made to the form, I popup a MessageBox asking the user if they wish to save their changes, using the YesNoCancel message buttons. If the user hits cancel obviously I do not want to close the form. If the user hits close I call Close on the form. This works fine for when the user clicks the close button, but when they hit escape the form closes whether they hit cancel and I call Close or not. How can I get around this? I've pasted code sample below. Thanks, Adam private void bClose_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { FormClose(); } protected virtual void FormClose() { bool close = true; if (myDataPanel.HasChanges()) { DialogResult dr = UIHelperController.Instance.ShowQuestionMessageBox(this,"Changes Made","Changes have been made to this panel.

    - Is there a simple way to change the DateTimePicker style. It looks sloppy. I want to use the DateTimePicker, so the user can pick the date from the calendar. Is there a way to choose a different calendar style? I see that I can change some colors, but what I do not like most is the red kind-of circle that circles the current date. The control looks sloppy and non-professional. Is there a simple way to clean it up? Thanks... Tag: two-way databinding radio buttons on a windows form? Tag: 54697

    - How-to create user control replacing main application form Hello all, I'm wading my way into .net by writing some custom controls. I would like to provide a parent class to these controls to give them easy access to common information. Initially tried this as a panel, but find that I can't drop non-visual components onto panels (they fall through to the main form). So now I am wondering is it possible to override the main application form with a user-authored form? I tried to do this by inheriting from System.Windows.Forms.Form, but when I instantiate such a control in the IDE, it actually appears to spawn a new thread consisting of an independent windows form which can't be accessed using the normal designer interface. Unrelated question - anyone know of a good online reference on Attributes? Thanks, Markus Tag: two-way databinding radio buttons on a windows form? Tag: 54692

    - Simple problem with the AxWebBrowser control Hello, I am using a AxWebBrowser control in a VB.net windows form. In the form, I also have a TextBox where the user enters the URL he would like to navigate to. I want the TextBox to change it's display (to reflect the new page address) when the user clicks on an hyperlink on the web page (like in Internet Explorer). I have been looking at the events and methods of the AxWebBrowser object, and I can't find it! Any help on this would be very appreciated. thanks, Ross Tag: two-way databinding radio buttons on a windows form? Tag: 54690

    - Using Control.Invoke I want to programatically invoke a KeyDown event to a control that has the focus. Maybe you guys know a better way to do this anyway. In my MainMenu I have an Edit sub-menu that has Copy and Paste items. Each of these menu items I setup to use the Shortcut keys Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. However, I want the Form window that is handling the main menu messages to be stupid about it and just notify the ActiveControl of a KeyDown event to let the controls handle copying to the Clipboard themselves. Going with this scenario how, in C#, do I invoke a KeyDown event to another control programatically? Or is there a better way to notify the ActiveControl? I've tried the following, but I get a compiler error. ActiveControl.Invoke( KeyDown, this, new KeyEventArgs (Keys.Control|Keys.C)); Thanks for your help, Aaron Tag: two-way databinding radio buttons on a windows form? Tag: 54686

    - Master-Detail DataGrids / WEB Services I have a form with 2 grids that participate in a master- detail relationship. I have a web service that supplies the dataset which populates the grids. The following code works great to load the data into the grids: Private Sub LoadGrids() 'instantiate the web services dim oWebService as new uwEngine.uwEngineServices 'call the GetListData service uwData = oWebService.GetListData() 'bind to the dgLists datagrid dgLists.DataSource = uwData dgLists.DataMember = "UW_LISTS" 'bind to the dgListValues datagrid dgListValues.DataSource = uwData dgListValues.DataMember="UW_LISTS.UW_LISTSUW_LISTS_DATA" End Sub Now I need the ability to trap the datatable events (columnChanging, rowChanging, etc). How do I create code to handle the events being that I am not dimming the datatables in my client code ? (the datatables are coming from the Web Service) thanks for your time Tag: two-way databinding radio buttons on a windows form? Tag: 54667

    - .NET thin client I want to develop a "thin client" using C#. The idea is that most possible information to dynamically create and show forms comes from a server. Dynamic data to be shown on these forms should also come from a server. The forms must contain many windows controls (user controls) which are not statically known by the client assembly (preferably). I think that using aspx is not a good solution due to the poor user interface without complex scripts to show the controls. I want to use web services both for loading info to create the forms and for accessing dynamic data to be shown in the forms. Is this at all practical ? (due to bad performance, caching would help), anyone has an idea about architecture, formats etc Tag: two-way databinding radio buttons on a windows form? Tag: 54662

Hi,

How do I get the data in the dataset to update when the
radio buttons change? Do I need to add code for this, or
shouldn't it happen automatically?

Strangely, I have a situation where the radio buttons
update the dataset when they get set, but not when they
get unset - so all the fields in the ds end up with true
values - which cause problems when the form refreshes the
data. So I isolated the code in a mini sample and this
doesn't update the datasets at all...

Thanks!
Heidi
