• starfox96 UserControl as Container

  Hi all, Just a quick question and I am sure there is a simple solution but I just haven't found it yet. I know how to make my UserControl a container by using ParentControlDesigner etc. This works fine and I can drag and drop Windows Forms Controls at design time. However, if I add a Panel to my UserControl Class, compile it and then try to drag and drop another control on the Panel, the Panel does not act as a container. So my question is: If I have a UserControl which consist of a single Panel, which is a pretty lame control I know, how can you get the Panel to act as a container at design time Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards AM PS. The UserControl that I have written does not consist of a ...Show All

• Lino17580 Detecting word wrapping in a rich text box?

  Is there a programmatic way to detect where a RichTextBox control is wrapping the text contained within it I'm currently attempting to use TextRendered to measure the text and then determine that wraps occur the accummulated length would be at the box's width. This works for 98% of the words, but occassionally, my rpedicted model will wrap a word or two early. A fudge factor on the width seems to fix it, but for the final release, I would like the list of wrap points to be perfect. katesune Okay! That helps a lot. Now, if there was only a method for determining the number of physical lines in the textbox. As it appears, the only way to do so is to just monitor the values returned by the method. katesun ...Show All

• Coleenh Installshield 10.5 MSM with registerforCOM doesnt have any registry tables

  we are getting an InstallShield 10.5 merge module file from someone else and finding that when built in to an MSI, the install of the MSI does not register the assembly (from the MSM) for COM. The MSM has nothing in its Registry tables (using Orca). If I use VS2005 to build an MSM and set a .NET assembly to RegisterForCOM then it places all the required registry stuff that regasm would do in the MSM file. What SHOULD happen Is VS2005 assuming that the reg settings will be built into the MSM Is IS10.5 assuming that the thing that builds the MSI will determine the reg settings Is it somehow set up to actually run regasm at install time another project says that the MSM works for them, but I dont know how if it doesnt c ...Show All

• a.d.m Crazy PrintPreviewDialog not in intellisense

  Hello, My intellisense doesn't seem to be picking up on the methods or properties unique to a PrintPreviewDialog. For example, "ppd.MinimizeBox = True" works however the "MinimiseBox" doesn't show up in my intellisense - this is strange because every other component shows it's properties & methods. Regards, Luc Pettett Ariel, Thank-you for your reply - The PrintPreviewDialog is an object provided by System.Windows.Form so I cannot modify the properties. Maybe Microsoft has specified the property 'MinimizeBox' as EditorBrowsable ( EditorBrowsableState . Never ), Has this problem occured for others Regards, Luc Pettett That's ...Show All

• chaza App runs after click-once, fails after setup prog

  Has anyone seen this before : I deployed my VB2005 app to a server using click-once publishing, and the app runs quite nicely on it. I later decided to move to a setup program so that I can give more install options to the user. After creating the setup program, I copied the entire "release" folder to the server, ran the install without error, but now my app won't execute - no fatal errors or any indication of a problem. Basically, double-clicking the app's icon appears to do nothing. If I am missing assemblies, I would expect to see an error of some kind. Any ideas ...Show All

• jflowers Form's - Border Color

  Hi, How can I change form’s border color Or is there any method to hide/show form’s border at runtime. Either one will work for me. Ex: If user wants to keep background green, border also should change to green color. Best % V You can't change the form's border color, it is controlled by the current XP theme. Or system color if you don't use theming. You can hide the form border at runtime. Not sure if you'd want this, you'll also lose the caption bar: private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (this.FormBorderStyle == FormBorderStyle.Sizable) this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None; else this.FormBorde ...Show All
