• ascona Form Size. Preventing re-sizing on Form blue bar double click

  Hi, How can I prevent a form re-sizing if the forms blue bar is double clicked ron In the form set the MaximizeBox to false. Yes the code works for me. Setting the maximize box to false keeps the form from being maximized. I didn't know that it would not stop it from being changed to normal. The code to keep it maximized works for me. First time clicked on gets a flicker but then on it doesn't. As SJWhiteley says you can use the Size() structure. Hi, Thanks for the reply, First thing I did The maximise or minimise properties have no effect when double clicking anywhere on the forms blue bar. The form is full screen, and like any windows form, if you double click the blu ...Show All

• dragoncells HELP- solve the great debate

  I and my co-workers are having a debate they seem to think that windows 2000 professional and windows 2003 ent are the same with minor exception. I believe there is a great difference esp. dealing with memory and (serving)applications. I cannot find any documentation from Microsoft to support my statements. I believe I am correct. Am I wrong Thanks you are right, there are quite many improvements as well as additional features in Win 2003 Ent. I don't know, why you are not finding any documentation on that. Take any area and then look for that in both the versions. BTW, you are into wrong Forum - this is for Team Foundation Server - you need to look for Windows related Forum ...Show All

• selva_kumar Unit Testing, Windows Presentation Foundation: Problem

  Hello, I am writing a class library (File> new>Clas Libarary) with a Windows Presentation Foundation GUI, in VS2005. The Unit Tests wizard has a dialog called:"Create Unit Tests".

• Ed Lewis Trouble Saving New Projects

  Just installed VB Express. However I can't open new projects passed the initial simple one I've created. Toolbox is empty. Form is missing. Properties are missing. Have registered the IDE but still no luck. DO you see any new project templates (windows application, console application, class library). The toolbox will only be populated if you are currently working on a form in a new project, so if you arent working on a form using the form designer mode then the toolbox wont show any contents.   The properties windows may also not show anything depending upon the current window your are working on - if its a code window then it may not show anything.

• rwbogosian Single Instance application crashes with an exeption...?

  I was making a program that I wanted only 1 copy to be running at a time. If its multi instance, I can run it over and over. If its single instance, instead of letting just 1 copy run, whenever a second copy is launched, both it and the first copy CRASH with some fatal exception error.

• Prabagarane More about modifying web parts on Team Portal

  Hi, After applying the hot fix to the previous problem I reported, I now found that any web parts I want to add can only be added to the left column of the web page, there is no other choices in the drop down list. Is this a bug too or is there anything I need to do to add web parts to the right column Thanks, Maggie Actually, I want to add that the second problem I reported (the one about adding web part to the right not possible) was probably not a result from applying the hotfix. The hotfix only resolved the problem of not being able to add web parts. And now that I CAN add web parts, I can only add them to the left column. Hope to hear from you soon! Maggie ...Show All
