• GerrydeBruijn Saving from RichTextBox in .rtf or .txt??

  Hello, I am trying to save file to either .rtf or .txt from my RTB. When I save to .rtf it works fine, but when I try to save to .txt it saves the file but it doesn't put the '.txt' extension to the end of the fileName. So when I try to open the file again it doesn't appear as a .txt file, but it works if I manually add the '.txt' file ext. into the filename at savetime. Here's my code: Dim textType As RichTextBoxStreamType If (SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) Then If (SaveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 1) Then textType = RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText Else textType = RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText End If End If Dim fs As New FileStream(SaveFileDialog1.Fil ...Show All

• Vijay Chegu Form Freezing

• RichBar PrintPageEventArgs Supplies a Graphics Object with Random VisibleClipBounds

  I am facing a problem where only a portion of the page I am trying to print shows up on the printer. I see that the same problem is reported by a number of people: a. http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread225516.html b. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=38324&SiteID=1 c. http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/24/121201.aspx After spending some time, I find that the Graphics object supplied by PrintPageEventArgs in the PrintPage event is giving a "random" VisibleClipBounds. For the same printer, sometimes it is big enough for the page, sometimes it is not.

• Alex Smirnov Visual Studio 2005 Forms Designer Bugs

  To whom it may concren (Microsoft development team): We have a couple of observations concerning the Visual Studio 2005 IDE, particularly the Forms designer. There are a couple of bugs with this. 1. From time to time, our forms resize themselves. Literally, they shrink, pretty consistently when this happens, to within a few pixels of bottom-most and right-most control edges. This doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen. Sometimes it happens regardless of whether we've actually "touched" a form for editing from within the IDE (i.e. as an outcome of having built the application). 2. Some of the "layout manager" style controls have resize issues. Those that manage the bottom and right anchors, for examp ...Show All

• KerryLW Handle CRTL+A with a ListBox

  I'd like to handle CTRL+A in my ListBox to select all the items. I check for Keys.A in the KeyDown event of the ListBox and then check if control was pressed. If so I select all the items in the list. This is working. However even though I'm setting e.Handled = true the key is bubbling up and then it selects the first item in my list that starts with the letter A thus unselecting everything else. private void lstImages_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { switch (e.KeyCode) { ... other key checks removed ..... case Keys.A: if (e.Control) { SelectAll(); e.Handled = true; } break; } } Ok, got it. ...Show All

• Gem2036 DataGridView Header in VS2005 (c#)

  Hi, How do i give my DataGridView an overall Header. Ive found examples with row and column headers but i want to give it an overall header. The previous way to do it was using CaptionText for a Datagrid but i cant find a way with DataGridView. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Sorry the datagridview does not have a caption text. Not the best solution but you could dock the datagridview in a groupbox and use the groupboxes text. Thanks. But surely it is possible to put a header onto it. It seems like such an obvious thing to be part of a datagridview. Read this post ...Show All
