• ptenter e.Graphics = picCapture.CreateGraphics();

  Hi, please take a look below private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e) { e.Graphics = oldPicture.CreateGraphics(); } However, above scripts throw Exception "Property or indexer 'System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs.Graphics' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only" How can I replace the graphics of pictureBox1 to picture1.CreateGraphics(); I think it can be done by turning into bitmap Graphics offScreenDC = picCapture.CreateGraphics(); Bitmap offScreenBmp = new Bitmap(this.width, this.height, offScreenDC); pictureBox1.Image = offScreenBmp;      ...Show All

• Joel Martinez TreeViews and Focus

  Let me preface this by saying that I'm only implementing this, and this is not my design. I have a TreeView inside a GroupBox (not sure if that's relevant). I've hooked an event handler into the MouseDown event of the TreeView that creates a TextBox, at a location, and brings that TextBox into view and sets the focus to it. That works okay so far. But as soon as the TextBox receives focus, that's the end of the event handler's code. Immediately, focus returns to the TreeView, and the TextBox no longer has focus. The problem is that I want the TextBox to disappear when it loses focus, but this problem prevents the user from doing anything meaningful with the TextBox, since it seems to lose focus and thus disappear as soon as the Mouse ...Show All

• Molon Labe How do I set my own browser to a different home page?

  Is the above in the registry, or can you just change the URL Property on the WebBrowser control If you are using the WebBrowser control you have to handle the initial web page show in your application. Sorry if I wasn't clear... Like Internet Explorer's Internet Options home page changer, I need the user to be able to set the webbrowser to their own home page. You'll have to manage the storage of the home page URL that the user selects, and the UI they use to do it with. After you've constructed or WebBrowser object (or after the call to InitializeComponent, if you're used the Designer to drag-drop a WebBrowser control on your form) you can call the Navigate method.  For example, if your WebBrowser object mem ...Show All

• cmwith Generic User Controls?

  After working on a windows forms project I realized many of my screens do very similar tasks on completely different types of data. I then decided to create a generics based user control to make reuse of all of this common work based on the Type of object the specific instance of the control is using. After I build my control I realized I no longer get any design-time support for my class. It doesn't even show up as a user control available in the tool bar. This makes sense, since an instance of a generic type needs the type defined in order for it to be rendered on the screen, however is there any way I can add this generic type to my windows form and specify its type and then be able to use the design-time support of modifying this co ...Show All
