• llebron Remote printers management via WMI.

  Hi! I have a remote computer with Windows XP. This machine has two network printers. One from them is default printer. I tried “wbemtest” and “WMI CIM Studio” utilities to inspect this machine. Both tools running remotely say nothing about default printer. The WQL query “SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer WHERE Default = True” returns empty set. Instances of Win32_Printer are two, but all printers have Default property = False and Attributes = 2072 Locally running utilities show one printer as Default, i.e. correctly. How it’s possible Where is problem Where I can read about such kind WMI limitations Also I have similar problems with invocation of some Win32_Printer methods, such like “SetDefau ...Show All

• NickMcCrea Value of databound text box can't be set programitcally

  I have a text box on a tabbed panel which is data bound to a SQL table.When the user clicks on a tab the corresponding databindingsource creates a new record through addnew() and then the value of a text box is set to a variable set in a previous event. I know the value of the variable is fine but I was wonder if there was any update or refresh command that I need to run to display the updated text. To make it little clearer here is a sample of the application : private void tbPayments_Selected(object sender, TabControlEventArgs e) { switch (e.TabPage.Text) { case "Cash Payment": cashBindingSource.AddNew(); receiptNoTextBox2.Text = MyData.GetReceiptNumber().ToString(); bre ...Show All

• Bogey1 Copy & Paste into Rich Text Box that is in Tab Page

  OK, so I'm making a sort of HTML Editor, and I've got a tab control with 2 tab pages, one with a Rich Text Box, the other with a web browser. When you select the other tab, the browser is updated to display the HTML you write in the first tab. My problem is that I cannot seem to copy, cut or paste to or from the Rich Text Box in the first tab. Please help!!! (Moderator: Moved thread to this forum for better responses) Have you set the form's KeyPreview to true It may be more effective to catch the cut/copy/paste events yourself and implement the actions on your own. I've found that Windows' Forms handling of key events is spotty at best when you've got controls that "Fill" anything. Why do you need to c ...Show All

• Daniel Gary getting window client area coordinates in large windows

  Hi! I need to acquire the client-area mouse coordinates in a window of a third party application. I have used GetCursorPos and ScreenToClient to get the mouse coordinates when the scrollbars are positioned at the top-left position. Unfortuanately the client area of the window who’s coordinates I need are usually much larger then the window itself. If you use ScreenToClient in the window when the scrollbars are positioned a few 1000 pixels to the right and down from the upper left corner you will get the position of the mouse pointer relative to the upper left corner of the visible part of the client area. Is there a way to get the difference between the upper left corner of the windows client area and the upper left corner of th ...Show All

• Tension Can't Set ToolStripProgressBar Width

  Hello, I have a StatusStrip on a form that's 700 pixels wide. On the left I have a ToolStripStatusLabel, in the center a ToolStripProgressBar, and on the right a few more ToolStripStatusLabels. The first Label is 200 pixels wide, the ProgressBar is 400, and the remaining Labels take up the rest of the space (all Spring properties are set to False). In the Form.Resize event I'm trying this: prgProgress.Width = Me.Width - 300 But no matter what I set the Width property to at runtime, the size of the progress bar doesn't change. Naturally I can set its width just fine at design time. Help! Thanks. Hi, have you tried changing the ProgressBar's width (which is "inside" the ToolStripProgressBar) prgProgress.P ...Show All

  (VS2005 - beta 2) Hello, is there anyway to capture a keypress or keydown event in the DataGridView   I know there's events called KeyDown and Keypress, but if the DGV is in edit mode, they never get caught.  My ultimate goal is to make it so pressing enter moves to the Cell to the right, instead of to the next row but I need to know what key is being pressed before I can do that.
