• Martin Hart Turner Textbox Focus From Form Load

  I am trying to focus a textbox when the form loads. Although TextBox.Focus() works with most events, It do not work when in form load or activated. I would be grateful for help just to add, tried doing this in the form Shown event The problem with the Load event is it is one event in a series of events currently in the queue. Calling a Focus method while processing the Load event means any subsequent Focus-changing events in the queue will simply overwrite it. The other problem is the Load event is one event in a series of events that occurs when a Form is created, loaded, and displayed. At the time of the load event not all of these events that will occur are in the queue yet. In the same ...Show All

• xRuntime Not Checking and What is this Error?

  I'm pulling my hair out on these 2 problems! How Come this does not get ticked I have as a menu None White Black ------ Custom For the transparency color of a form. When the form loads it loads each one of these (wether it's ticked or not and sets it's property accordingly). When it loads... it does nothing! The transparency gets set correctly but these do not get ticked! I also have more menus for forecolor and back color and they work fine and they use the same type of code. This does not make sense, i know the If is following through because a msgbox comes up when the form loads. If GetSetting("My_Program", "Program_Options", "Trans_Col-None", True) = True Then UnTickAll_TransCol() "Untick ...Show All

• Emadkb Can't add DLL's from GAC through References-Add Reference

  Hi all, I need added a DLL to my GAC (C:\Windows\Assembly) but when I want to add a reference to this newly added DLL I can't seem to add through right-clicking on 'References->Add Reference' and then selected the 'Browse' tab in the 'Add Reference' dialog. I can locate the dll, but when I click 'OK', nothing happens. Any ideas I agree with you and think it is a shame that there is no easy way to directly reference an assembly in the GAC if it’s not on the provided list. As for why you cannot select it when browsing to C:\Windows\Assembly... look at the folder again in the Windows shell... it’s not a traditional folder that you can so easily access as it is really an app known as the Assembly Cache Viewer and that provides a ...Show All

• asiaindian Trouble with blanking and GDI...

  I'm using a Graphics.FromHwnd to DrawImage to a PictureBox control on my form, but whenever the form loses focus, whatever gets drawn gets blanked out. How can I fix this Crimony, I posted the solution I discovered the same time you did. Sorry there, and thanks. ^_^ You should attach a handler to the Paint event of the PictureBox control and DrawImage from it. If you draw on a Graphics returned from Graphics.FromHwnd your drawings will be overwrittent by the PictureBox Image or BackgroundColor next time when the PictureBox repaints itself. Such a noob here. XD I solved it by copying my drawing code to the PictureBox1.Paint ...Show All
