• NuclearChicken DesignSurface creates controls offset from mouse pointer

  I'm using a DesignSurface to create controls from my toolbox. I want the controls to be created exactly where the mouse cursor is when I drop them, i.e. the Location property of the newly created control should be exactly where the mouse cursor is. How can I accomplish this It seems that the DesignSurface creates the View at 15, 15 and so the controls that are being created do not take this into account. I simply create a DesignSurface and load a UserControl derived control, then add the View of the DesignSurface to a panel control in my app. If I break when that UserControl is being created the Location will show up as 15, 15. That's fine (the offset looks nice in the panel), but when I drop a ToolBoxItem I'm dragging, and say I try to l ...Show All

• lwsimpson WebBrowser Control doesn't display properly (Scrollbars)

  I've got a WebBrowser control in a Windows form, and I can't get the scrollbar-3dlight-color or the scrollbar-darkshadow-color to display at all. Other parts of the scrollbar change colors properly, but not those two. They don't even appear in the scrollbar itself. It's as if they don't even exist. I've spent a day looking for a solution, but can't find anything anywhere. Has anyone heard of this, or does anyone have any idea on how to get the WebBrowser to display properly (The machine has IE7 installed.) Thanks in advance for any help or pointers. ...Show All

• Rune Gulbrandsen Sort Text based on number order

  Hi there I have a dataset with a number of tables, all filled by reading an XML file (no sql). I'm using a DataGridView on my form to display one of the tables.

How can I convert the string to int ...Show All

• Salil Performance Combobox 11000 Values

  Hey guys, I am using a datagridviewcomboboxcolumn which is bound to a datatable containing 11,000 entries in a datagridview. This column is causing alot of performance issues, when the user moves through this column it really slows down the datagridview.

• N8NT Auto-register new type librarys

  Hi, I have a VB6 project that contains a reference to a tlb from another .Net project that I have. The problem is that whenever I rebuild the .Net project the reference in the VB6 project becomes out-of-date and I have to re-enter it (i.e. when I open the project references window it says it's "MISSING").
