• Pankaj11 How to show a notify window?

  Hello, I have created a new type of window, a NotifyWindow (derived from System.Windows.Forms). In order for the window to display without gaining the focus (that is no activation), I have used the following code: public void Notify() { Rectangle wrkarea = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea; SetWindowPos(Handle, (IntPtr)HWND_TOPMOST, wrkarea.Width - Width - 10, wrkarea.Height - Height - 10, 0, 0, SWP_NOACTIVATE | SWP_NOSIZE); ShowWindow(Handle, SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE); } This function is intended to be used as a replacement for Show(), which also would activate it, which is not the way I want it. I have tested it with this code: NotifyWindow wnd = null; private void NewOne() { if (wnd == null) { ...Show All

• Matthew Power Cannot add table adapter to datatable

  If I have a dataset in my project, and I've added a datatable to it, when I right click on it the option to add a tableadapter is greyed out. It seems as though I have to add a tableadapter to get a datatable with tableadapter connected to it. What if you already have a datatable in your project and want to add a tableadapter to it I had a recommendation to install SP1, and I did, but it did not fix the problem. No response since then. Well, you can always use the DataAdapter instead of the TableAdapter. It amounts to the same thing basically and is not specifically tied-in to your DataTable (which I think is preferable anyway ... I don't believe that a DataSet should know anything about where the data c ...Show All

• hendrik swanepoel ItemMouseHover

  I want a form to popup when an item in a listview is hovered over, the problem is I want the form to go away after the mouse is moved away from the item. Something like Netflix does when the mouse hovers over a movie name. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks does anybody have any ideas. thanks You can do it, but there are some details that needs clarifying. When the new form is poped up, will the focus be transfered to the new one If so, the listview will not get the 'leave away' message. If just some simple text message needs to be showed, I'm afraid the ToolTip control is good choice. A picture and text messsage will be shown and the new form doesn't need to hav ...Show All

• Any ole Joe Extending DataGridViewTextBoxColumn to DataGridViewHtmlColumn

  I'm tring to create a better way to present data in data columns. I've decided to extend the d.g.v.TextBoxColumn, although perhaps I should be using a higher level base class. The fist thing I've decided to support are newlines or [br] ( breaks ). this done, Im not sure the best way to calculate row height, or how to effectively set it. I've tried inside the overridden Paint method to set [ this.DataGridView.Rows[ index ].Height ], but it doesnt seem to be affecting anything perhaps I have to change a related flag so the problem, is that I now have a multiline text column that is cutting off the text because the row height is not appropriatly set. any help is greatly appreciated! -stellar ...Show All

• Xi0N Get variable value from Main form

  How can I get Main varialbe's value from another form. for example: get menu item's text, or get program caption's text, etc. thanks Edward you would need a reference to the other form/object and then access its properties however you need to make the properties/methods you wish to access public so this class can see it. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=729974&SiteID=1 take a look at the link above, it shows you on passing the object from one class to another and accessing it from this other class You could give your dialog form a new public property of type MainForm. Before you call ShowDialog on the dialog form set that property to the current MainForm which you ca ...Show All

• SucceedEgg Treeview node cropping

  Does anyone know how to prevent a Windows.Forms.Treeview node's text being cropped if the node's font size is increased or changed to bold The text seems to be cut off roughly where the text would have displayed to if it were in the treeview's font - the final letter is often chopped off part-way through, even though there is plenty of space following. The only work-around I have found is to set the Treeview's font to bold (or larger) and then set the font of all the other nodes (the ones I don't want emphasized) to the regular/smaller font. The problem with this is that the nodes' tooltips display in the treeview's font (ie bold/larger). You nearly had it there. But here's the crazy thing - your fix only works on the first call. ...Show All
