• Franco22 Windows Installer Deployment

  I have developed an application in VB.Net and I now want to deploy it using the Windows installer. I have everything working except that I would like the user to be able to define their own folder in the Start/Programs menu. I have a default and have looked through the File System and User Interface editors. I have included a Usser Interface Text Dialog box to my installation script so the user can define their Program Menu folder or just select the default. I cannot get this to work. I have attempted to use the System folder properties with the custom folder in the File System section of my deployment project but all the install attempts to do is look for a network folder with the name entered by the user. If someone knows how to do ...Show All

• chrisryche IComponentChangeService.ComponentChanged doesn't fire

  Hey. We have a little problem regarding <subj>: we have a DesignerSurface and a propertyGrid to show the data on a selectedObject (IComponents, as the case may be). Upon changing a property value in the PropGrid - the IComponentChangeService.ComponentChanged event fires, but when changing a property normally in code (either from glyphs or from "external" code) - the event doesn't fire. Is this by design I saw in the reflector that normal (internal) glyphs do not change properties directly but call on a PropertyDescriptor.SetValue(). Is this the only way to get this to work (I should mention that I talk about properties of existing classes, and I cannot add the RefreshPropertiesAttribute hardcoded, or (as it ...Show All

• rectis Help in implementation of a magnifying glass

  I have an image viewer application which I want to apply a magnifying glass effect on certain area of the image. The problem I've run into is that when I slowly dragged the magnifying glass across (when left mouse down) the magnifying glass window didn't move smoothly. I believe it has something to do with drawing the graphics of the original image on the background. May someone please help me solve this issue Thanks. You are giving us preciously little information to help you. A code fragment would help. Forced to guess: I assume you use a Bitmap buffer to store the area to be magnified. Be sure to create that buffer with PixelFormat32PArgb, anything else is deadly slow. View panel. That's the ...Show All

• Catalin Zima using mousewheel in treeview

  I want to use the mousewheel to scroll trough nodes in a Treeview, selecting und unselecting each in turn as I scroll. This will displays display certain related information about the selected treenode. My problem is that this also scrolls the entire treeveiw display up or down, often hiding the node I am trying to select with the mouswheel. I dont want the nousewheel to scroll the treeview. Essentially I want the mousewheel all to myself after pressing the middle mouse button to start the process. How can I acheive this Also, I cant quite figure how to determine how many mousewheel click occured. (e.delta always seem to be either +120 or - 120, but relative to what ). In practice the user might want to click down several nodes, b ...Show All

• Seppe001 Color Management

  I'm developing a winforms application in VS2005 that displays a slideshow of images, but I want the display to make use of the icm profile for the monitor/projector. Although i can see that there appears to be something in existence called Windows Color System, I can't find any details about how to use the API, and where I find it (which dlls..). Ideally I want this to work with .net 2.0, although its clear 3.0 has more to offer in the System.Media namespace. Is there a straightforward API available (free!) for a C# program to perform profile transformations of images Or even some DllImport functions I can use. brian smith Hope the following link will help you http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dna ...Show All

• Hans1982 Flicker using doublebuffer

  I created a UserControl which contains a Panel. I created an eventhandler for this Panel's Paint event. In this handler I draw a grid for the background and the a line which links to squares the user can move. Every time the squares are moved the panel is invalidated, in order to redraw the link. Repainting gives a lot of flicker. As in other controls I made, I tried to use doublebuffering in both ways, through SetStyle and the DoubleBufferd property. Flicker remains. I also tried to use one transparent panel over the panel with the grid. The grid needs to be painted only once, while the links are often repainted. So I tried to put squares and links in the transparent panel, but the grid panel is still repainted every time the transparent ...Show All

• mcrisf SplitContainer Panel MinSize Defect?

  I have a vertical split SplitContainer inside the top panel of a horizontal split SplitContainer and am trying to set the panel2 min size for it. I'm getting the following designer error: SplitterDistance must be between Panel1MinSize and Width - Panel2MinSize. This is somewhat confusing first of all, since the change was made in the designer. In the first instance therefore, I'm assuming this is a bug in the designer. The logic of the error message is that SplitterDistance should be between 0 and 560 minus 243 i.e. 317 which at 311 it is. Has anyone else come across this or have a workaround // // splitContainer2 // this .splitContainer2.Dock = System.Windows.Forms. DockStyle .Fill; this .splitC ...Show All
