• Trainwreck Using a treeview to display .rtf in richtextbox.

  Hello, I'm very new to VB.NET(well to programming altogether), I have a treeview and a richtextbox on the same form and what I am trying to do is when a user clicks on a node, display the appropiate file in the RTB. I have 66 nodes associated with 66 different files. The code that I have works but I was wondering if there is a more compact way of doing this or do I need to write the same 'If....Then' for all 66 files. Thanks in advance.

• Zaracattle Invoking other msi (nested install)

  I want to install other msi silently in the custom action of setup and deployment project. But i am getting the following error 1618 Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install. Is there any way (hack/trick) to install other msi in the setup. Please help me, Thanks in advance No it's not feasible.

• Ntc Create a single instance of a Dataset to share across forms

  Paul Ballard MVP answered a posting on how to share Dataset across forms. He gave a great and simple solution but I wanted to extend it. When using the GUI it tries to create a new instance of the dataset. So the first thing I want is it to load the instance into the shared variable so any calls to currentDS would use the current instance. I did this by modifing the constructor call. The next issue I ran into (this is the one I’m having problems with) is when the auto generated code tries to create a new DS. Example: I create a new form and I drag a datasource Datagridview to the new form. The code creates a new instance. Any ideas how to modify the typed dataset to check for any instances and if found use them inst ...Show All

• Allen Razdow foreach(Form f in AllformsOfApplication)

  Hi, searched the forum, found something that wouldn't work, so I'm asking for some help. I'd like to find all forms in my application after clicking on a menu item, so I can do something with all of them. That would be something like: foreach (Form f in AllformsOfApplication) { dosomething(f); } Note: not just the open forms like with Application.OpenForms but something like Application.AllForms (if only it would exist...) Thanks for the help! I'll try to be brief... I'm starting from an Open Source project which has a mechanism for translations built in. It's kind of complicated so I'm not going to explain that, but I know how it works. One of the things it does is write all of the contents of the Tex ...Show All

• Raju Datla How To get My installtionFile Directory ?

  i know that [TARGETDIR] get the directory i will install to But i want to Know how To get the Directory of The File I setup From . And any link to other global Setup Vars thanks vry much . Phil, Can't we use [ SourceDir] matt Hey i use SourceDir and it works fine but what about other global installation variables i need website or something describe them thanks Yes you can use SourceDir. OriginalDatabase is sometimes more reliable because you can use it earlier in the install. This turns out to be irrelevant with Visual Studio custom actions because they are always late in the installation. I just have a habit of preferring OriginalDatabase. ...Show All

• StephenMas Custom Menu's

  Hi Folks, I'm using MS Visual Studio with Managed C++ and I'm curious to know how I might go about trying to get Menu's that look similair to the fancy ones in MS Outlook 2003 Any ideas -Zero If you are using VS2005, MenuStrip with RenderMode=Professional does that. And you know how to control the close event en .Net 1.1 . I'd like a menu that no close when user clicks the MenuItems There's no "out-of-box" control in VS2003 to do this as far as I know. You can play with DrawItem/MeasureItem events in order to customize the painting, but in VS2003 this functionality is not provided by default. I'm actually using MSVS 2003 - is there any hope ;) ...Show All

• Norbert.Bender Datagridview lose the column order after a rebuild

  Why does the datagridview lose column order after a rebuild I have a datagridview on the form designer and I add columns an arrange they in the order I wish it to appear, but after a rebuild the order is losed. I had the same problem. (Miffed that Microsoft did not respond to this obvious BUG.) I removed what appear to be unnecessary " metadata" entries from the form's .resx file, like the example entry below, and all was well again. < metadata name = " OrgName.UserAddedColumn " type = " System.Boolean, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=...
