  Hi! I need to create a setup package for an application that displays a banner, then calls another application. This part is not problem.

• FannwongCindy Cloning Forms

  Hello, I have a series of forms that are very similar, but they contain different editable fields, and different columns in a DataGridView.  I would like to ensure that all of the Forms and controls have the same property settings in order to ensure that they appear and behave identically.  Right now, I am using a written checklist and sometimes I miss an item (my bad!). I've thought about creating an abstract Form class and subclassing my cloned forms from it, but that didn't work out very well due to the customization code that was necessary for each Forms view.  Is there an easy way to save the properties of a Form and DataGridView, and then to programmatically apply them to a new Form and DataGridView   ...Show All

  i am creating database application, i want to show starp-up page when application starts, just like when C# IDE starts...where i wanna show information about database size, used space etc. i need some help about this issue... If you're using .Net 2 you could use a WebBrowser Control and point it at a local html page that you create. Hi, You are asking about "splash screen".... You can easily create the splash screen using Forms by setting just couple of properties.

• Rob Smith Adding ampersand to create hotkeys

  Hello all, I'm working on a form that contains several languages and therefore using unicode. The problem is that when I use ampersands on buttons in order to create hotkeys, the ampersand appears on the button text. Is there anyway to get around this Also, I wanted to know if there's a way just as simple to create hotkeys without having to use the button text This example here is the closest one I came up with, but it still looks rather complicated. You've got a strange problem here. The rendering of the button text is done by Windows Forms. If UseCompatibleTextRendering is true, it uses Graphics.DrawString() with a StringFormat instance whose HotkeyPrefix determines what is done with the ampersand. If it is false, it uses TextRe ...Show All

• msJen MSI run from VS setup.exe is not themed

  We are using the the Visual Studio 2005 bootstrapper to create a setup.exe that will install the .NET Framework 2.0 before installing our application. It works fine, except that the dialogs from our MSI do not display buttons or progress bars using the selected Windows XP theme. Instead, they appear with the Windows 95/98 look. I've experienced this problem using MSI's created with WiX and with VS2005. This isn't a huge deal, but I'd like to fix it if possible. Is this a bug, or is there some setting I need to add/edit Thanks. Sorry for my late reply, it's been rather hectic the past ten days. I thought this was probably just something I'd have to live with. It just seemed wierd that the problem only ap ...Show All

• Douglas911 Unhandled exception (System.IO.FileLoad Exception) in AppLaunch.exe

  Hello, I am trying to publish my Windows Forms application and I am getting an error in AppLaunch.exe. I am able to publish the application but when I click on the Run button on the publish page, I get this error: "An unhandled exception (System.IO.FileLoad.Exception) occurred in AppLaunch.exe [2260].

• akaballa Advice needed: Hosting Winforms application in Winform application

  Let me explain what we need. We have an application that behaves like the Microsoft Management Console, let's call that application Management Console. In our Management Console we have a treeview on the left-hand side and a Window on the right-hand side. In the treeview we have nodes like Application1, Application2 ... clicking on each of these nodes should open the corresponding Winforms applications within our Management Console. It is like a plug-in system but the applications Application1, Application2 should be able to be run as stand-alone applications as well. With other words the devs of Application1 and Application2 should not change their code just because of our Management Console. Any leads concerning architecture and ...Show All

• Nickeay Form_FormClosing behavior

  I have an event that closes the main form (the app essentially). However the app could be busy (same thread) with 2 potentially long running methods called from a timer. When Close() is called (from another class or from a callback in the same form) does it wait for these methods to complete No. But you can handle the closing event and set the flag in the closingeventargs passed in to not close the app. Figured.. Going to have to re-design to: Method1(); Method2(); this.Close(); ...Show All

• Rocky82 Looping through combo box display members

  Dear All, My problem is related to combo box.
