• ahmedsaad4 Ending Backgroundworker

  I'm just wondering if there are any specific functions that should be called from within the BackgroundWorker process in order to clean it up properly, or if you can just let it exit like a normal function No, you simply exit the DoWork event handler like any other function. The BackgroundWorker itself must be disposed but that's something you do from the thread that created the background worker in the first place, not from DoWork. If you added a BackgroundWorker to your form using the designer there is no need to dispose it, the generated code will take care of it. Thanks Mike. ...Show All

• Seefer Public Terrarium Server?

  Sense the client wont connect to the old server url( cause its not there anymore apparently ), is there anyone out there running a public Terrarium Server I could join ^_^ I was running a public server, but it just didn't get enough clients. :o( I recently (last month) trashed my machine and had to rebuild it from scratch, so I'm no longer (nor will I be) running a Terrarium server. There was one other person who had set up a public server (some time ago), but I was unable to find their post about it and I couldn't find their server using Google either. It could still be available, but I doubt it. ...Show All

• JCopus Reference Collection TypeConverter?

  Hey all. Hopefully this is the right section... I'm working on a component that will manage a number of controls on a form. In order to use this effectively, I want to be able to specify which controls the component should manage at design time, using the property grid. In the past, I have specified the ReferenceConverter TypeConverter for a component properly in order for this to work, but now I want to be able to specify any number of controls. So basically what I need is a 'ReferenceCollectionConverter'. Does such a TypeConverter already exist within the framework, and if not can anyone please give me some pointers towards implementing one myself Thanks. I have moved this thread to the Windows Forms ...Show All

• Denvas Embedding other controls inside a cell / inheriting DataGridViewCell

  The datagridview is excellent, and it's obvious your team put a large amount of work into this. I've read the samples and FAQ, and although you haven't specifically addressed this, I am curious for your thoughts. It appears that most of the provided cell types "display-ability" are based ultimately upon text and images, including the button cells. You also provided a nice sample for the datetime picker. But when it comes to controls with more than one edit option or a user control, it would be nice to find a way to embed such a control. I want to embed a datagridview inside a cell, and as the grid is heterogenous, I do not believe I need a column for this as other cells in that column may be simple text. I might fathom h ...Show All

• OrpheusTheBard ShowGrid and UseSnapLines

  Hi, I have got a custom designer in which I want to see the grid, but use the snap lines. It seems for me that only one option is possible at the same time. So this means I can decide if I want to see the grid or if I want to use the snap lines. My question is, how can I enable both I want to see the grid and want to use the snap lines. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Franz Hello All. Franz: I don't think you can use both at the same time, because they are exclusive. If you use the layout mode "SnapLines", then you can place controls free-form, and the snap lines let you align controls relative to other controls. If you use "SnapToGrid", then the grid is shown, and co ...Show All

• ponchoelchico ComboBox DataBinding Workaround Requestet

  VB.net question. We use Visual Studio 2005. I am trying to setup a combobox to databind to a lookup DataTable using the DataSource, ValueMember and DisplayMember properties. This DataTable in particular has 3 columns: ID, ItemText, ItemInactive. The values stored in our database tables are actually the lookup ID itself, not the ItemText. Throughout the life of our database we have have had to "inactivate" some of these IDs so that users cannot select them anymore (for example one of the lookup tables has names of employees, some of which no longer work forthe company). In order to prevent users from selecting items that are inactive, the DataSource is set to a DataTable that has been Filtered so that it does not include the ...Show All

• stak32 Single Key Shortcut for Menuitems

  Hello, We want to implement a single key shortcut for meuitem i.e menu click event gets fired when any single character is pressed. For example, typically menu short cuts have CTRL+A but we want A as shortcut. Regards, Sachin But how do you know if A has been pressed, which of the menu click method has to be invoked Surely you saw my post in this other thread you posted to This is why nobody uses a plain "A" as a shortcut key. Technically, you could find out by calling the control's IsInputKey() method. However, it is declared "protected" so you can't call it. It is not really a problem because you know which type of controls you've used on your form. If you happen to ...Show All
