• XNA Rockstar How to refresh the window in this case?

  hi, all I have a question about window refresh. The situation is, I need to hide the whole window. But it might show up some error message box if I need to. The problem is, after user clicks on Yes or No, the message box won't go away. The code is like this: SomeForm myForm = new SomeForm(); Application.Run(MyForm); SomeForm:OnLoad() { this.Visible = false; bool bValid = ValidateData(); if(!bValid) { DialogResult dr = MessageBox.Show(xxxxxx, do you want to continue); if(dr == DialogResult.Yes) { /// Here, do other work. /// At this point, the MessageBox is still there, won't go away. /// I think the reason is, there is no client area to refresh since the this.visible is false.

• Learning VB Updating listview frequently

  Hi, I have a list view to support presence, it has a buddy and his status using (Session Initiation Protocol). I want to update it whenever someone changes his status. What is the best way to update it No, it's not possible to bind to LV. If you search the web, you’ll find information on how to extend it to allow for data binding. Keep in mind it would just copy all the data from the source and put it into LV, so you might as well populate it manually. It makes no difference if list is from database or not, works the same with data binding. So if I want to implement a window that displays the picture representing the status (online, offline) and next to it the buddy name, it is bett ...Show All
