• PerPixel Additional Infos: PropertyGrid: How to catch an exception?

  I use a PropertyGrid to show a business object in my application. The business object throws exceptions if the user tries to enter an invalid string inside the PropertyGrid. The PropertyGrid shows two different behaviors in this case: If a default TypeConverter is used the PropertyGrid shows an builtin error message dialog. If a custom TypeConverter is used the PropertyGrid doesn't handle the exception. This happens only in Debug mode. How can I catch these exceptions and suppress the builtin error message dialog of the PropertyGrid I used the IServiceProvider/IUIService method to show a custom error dialog to the user in a PropertyGrid in .NET 2.0.

• arro239 Re-defining events on custom controls?

  Hi. I am making a custom control, that should respond to mouse related events. Is it possible to make the controls Click, MouseDown etc. event handlers to accept different parameters than usually I'll show you what I would like to achieve: //this would be in in the form, where the custom control is to be added //the Click event handler for my custom control private void myCustomControl_Click(object sender, MyCustomEventArgs e ) { //handling, here I could use the information the control provided via MyCustomEventArgs } So, when I drag and drop my custom control on the form in visual studio, and double click the ontrol, I would get the event handler like the previous.

• DSent Complex Binding and BindingComplete Events.

  I am binding some objects to various controls. Some are bound to textboxes using simple binding. Others are bound to a datagrid using complex binding. All bindings are done via a binding source. In the case of simple bindings, the text property is bound to a property on the object. In the case of complex binding the datagrid's datasource property is set to the binding source. I am using the bindingcomplete event to create a multi-step undo operation (control z). This works great when listening to the bindingcomplete event on the binding source when it is used against simple bindings. Complex bindings, however, do not seem to raise this event. Is there a way to catch data source updates from a complex bound bindingsource Thanks, Jason ...Show All

• Helen999888 design question - re dynamically creating controls

  I have to create an interface (vb.net 2005) similar to the visual studio tools -> options I quite like that interface - use selects an item from a tree and on the right hand side the appropriate controls are displayed... My question is how do you think the programmers did it in Vis Studio - I'm after best practice here... I'm guessing that they create the controls dynamically - and it looks like they create them dynamically on demand - and keep them hanging around in case they need to be displayed again any insight welcome - and are there any clever code samples showcasing this thanks Bruce Yes, the controls in design mode are actual controls created dynamically, and subclassed by the ...Show All

• TA123 Tooltip component to have TTS_CLOSE...

  Any way to pass TTS_CLOSE to the Tooltip component so that it will have a 'close window'... You can get some information and wonderful examples in the following link http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dv_vstechart/html/pinvoke.asp I am aware of the contents in that link. My question is aimed at the Tooltip component that comes with .Net 2.0 framework. Currently am using the code in the link that you have mentioned. But, what I am more interested in is extending the 2.0 component instead of 're-inventing' the wheel... Any way I can achieve that TTS_CLOSE if poorly documented, to put it mildly. I couldn't get it to work by overriding the CreateParams property. My guess: it only works ...Show All

• olakara How to prevent tab from losing focus when in last row/ last column

  Greetings: I am inheriting from the DataGridView. It is a register-like application with columns for SKU, Item Name, unit price, subtotals, etc. The datagridview is set to allow "new rows". I have been able to get the DataGridView to skip read-only columns. The only problem I'm having and can't seem to get easily is that the DataGridView by default loses its focus when the selected cell is the last row in the last column. When you press the tab key, it will tab over to the next control on the form. Rather, I'd like it to either tab to the first row or not tab at all (since the last row, last column is the new row). I have attempted to override OnLostFocus and set the focus back on the grid. This works, however, it really messes u ...Show All
