• Szdnez Info pls: Resource File Name property/managed resource compiler tool

  I'm sure you've all seen the warning in Form1.h (VS 2005 Express) about changing the class name of the main form. I'ld like to know how to solve the problem. This isn't hypothetical. I did change the class name of a form, and the Designer seemed to get quite upset. It would be good to know how to set that Resource File Name property May be the winform folks can help! Thanks, Ayman Shoukry VC++ Team @joeller, Thank you a lot for share with us the answer to this question.   Here is the answer. http://www.kbalertz.com/839298/error.message.after.change.localized.class.Visual.aspx I've moved this to the VC forum since it looks like ...Show All

• davidg12 DataGridView Sorting Numerical Strings

  Hi, Have tried to sort the columns containing numerical strings in a DataGridView, seems to misplace the very first or very last row off by one index. For example in an ascent sort, the first row is the second smallest and the second row contains the smallest number. When, the rest of the numbers seem to be sorted properly. It seems as I need to set the colum sorting option to the programatical mode, and use a sorting algorithm to do this externally. Any suggestions, or any more straight forward way to do this Best Regards, Reza Bemanian right click on the grid,. if the column is autogenerated, then add a column and set the propertyname property to the name as the field in the database. if the col ...Show All

• kmcclung Maximum width of a panel

  I find that the maximum value I can assign to the width property of a panel is 32,767 which implies that the parameter is a type short and not int . I have tried in both the designer and at runtime. Does anyone know how to make a larger panel Obviously, for the wrong reason! My application includes the drawing of a "timeline" which shows some simple graphical objects that represent events. I wanted the user to be able to scroll the timeline and zoom in and out the time scale. The technique that I used to do this was to put a large (in width) panel (double buffered) inside a fixed size panel which was scrollable. I would draw the entire timeline on the first panel and use the containin ...Show All

• Dharan Prakash Scaling of controls possible?

  Is it possible to scale a control in the same way that can be done with a graphics transform I have a control that contains a label and a treeview, and I would like to be able to zoom in and out on this control. I have managed to scale the control itself, but the label and treeview do not scale. I would want the fonts to scale as well. Is this possible There is something I am still not understanding, which I guess is separate from the idea of zooming. I will be creating an editable class diagram - users will add new classes, create relationships between classes, etc. Now I can code the rendering of a class by hand, including the class name (which should be editable by double-click), and a tree-view o ...Show All

• pawelek Draw on top of Image

  Hello. I have a custom control that loads a large image and displays it on screen (using scrollbars). The problem is that I want to draw on the visible part of the image (the part that is currently on screen) and I want to be able to modify the things that I'm drawing (i.e. if I draw a line on top of the image, I want to be able to remove that line later). I did something like this, with the help of this forum: (where Image image = Image.FromFile("picture.jpg"); ) protected override void OnPaint( PaintEventArgs e) {    e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode .AntiAlias;    Rectangle src = new Rectangle (-AutoScrollPosition.X, -AutoScrollPosition.Y, this .Width, this .Height);    Rect ...Show All

• Ogulcank MDI and TopMost...

  I have an MDI Form that has 4 child forms that have TopMost = true; However when I set TopMost = false; These windows still stay on top within the MDI Form. Is there any other setting that could cause these forms to stay on top Thanks for your help! Mandragon If you're showing these dialogs with the MDI parent as the form parent (e.g. Dialog.Show(Parent) as opposed to Dialog.Show()) they will show up on top. I'm assuming here that they aren't MDI children. HTH Your question put me onto the answer, Thanks! The MdiParent was being assigned using a function that was in some unmana ...Show All

• bchan where can I find the publishing wizard

  I was following a walkthrough and it said I could use the publishing wizard if I right click the project and select properties. In my case I can't find the publish option, and after some research, I think this is only a feature of Visual Studio Professional, whereas I have the Standard version. Is this wizard available in any other form, to download and install thanks I'm pretty sure Standard SKU has ClickOnce publishing, the Express SKU's do! Try selecting your project in the Solution Explorer. Right-click, and select Publish from the context menu. If you are looking for the properties, you might not see the publish tab since it's near the bottom of the list, if your screen resolution is ...Show All
