• Alberto Ramacciotti WebBrowser stealing focus

  Hello, I would like to ask. I have WebBrowser component in my WinForms app (.NET 2.0). I display my own html pages without navigation. The WebBrowser intialization is: this .dataDisplayWebBrowser.Navigate( "about:blank" ); this .htmlDoc = dataDisplayWebBrowser.Document; this .htmlDoc.MouseDown += new HtmlElementEventHandler (htmlDoc_MouseDown); this .htmlDoc.MouseMove += new HtmlElementEventHandler (htmlDoc_MouseOver);   Displaying page: this .htmlDoc.Write(html); this .dataDisplayWebBrowser.Refresh();   Problem: When I click to the browser once time, it gets focus. It is OK, but after all new pages displaying, it gets the focus again without need to click. I want to prevent it, be ...Show All

• Aniruddha Surange Share one form across several application

  Hello, I wonder is there a good solution to share one startform across all the applications without including this form every time in the app. it's kinda like a dll method where we only need to reference to it. and also a change in the form will reflect across all the applications. Create a project for all the forms you want to be reused. Change the project compile setting to Class Library in the Project Property screen. Then you can just reference that project in any other projects in your solution. (moved to winforms forum) A form is just a class, I'd expect you could put it in a dll and call it from there. If the DLL is a .NET DLL then you can just add ...Show All

• Noorul Ahmed Control for docked "flyout" (unpinned) panels?

  I'd like to include a pinned/unpinned navigation window in my C# Winforms app that works like the docked windows in the VS05 IDE that are docked on the side with an icon and legend. In the unpinned mode it should open smoothly when you hover over the icon. I'd like to display a treeview in the panel and have the pin/unpin toggle icon as in the IDE. Is there a control that can reproduce this behavior in a Winforms app Edit: I found this: http://xceed.com/Docking_WinForms_Intro.html.  I was hoping to find a free version. Thank you very much, Gavin. That sounds perfect. I don't know why that didn't turn up on my first search at Sourceforge. I will give this a try. I ...Show All

• Martin Schmidt Controls which resize themselves !

  Hi all ! I use Visual Studio .NET 2005 SP1 (+ Updates for Vista) on Windows Vista. I have a strange problem in a WinForm application. In a UserControl, which inherit another UserControl (simply contains a SplitterPanel), I’ve added controls (most of them are TextBox with the property Anchors set to Left and Right) to Panel2.

After a sucesseful compilation, if I re-open (of may refresh itself) the Form Designer, all my controls are out of the UserControl!

• Leebo31 Outputting characters where I want them

  I'm looking for a way to put a character (of a color of my choice) at a certain spot on the screen. It can be a windows app or just the console. I'm new to C# so I'm not sure how this can be done. The only thing I can think of is slapping an array of textboxes on a window in a 20x20 grid, but that seems mighty inefficient (or is c# capable of handling 400+ textbox objects without slowing to a crawl ) If you've ever played Moria or Angband, you know exactly what I'm trying to accomplish here, any help would be most appreciated. Thanks! Extending post of Maksim Libenson you need 2 loops one for Horizontal Oreitentaion and one for Vertical, You need to change the points in regard to fill the whole Fo ...Show All

• Madhuchhanda Updating project without changing DB

  Please excuse me if this is a silly question but this is my first project with VB (VS 2005 Express Edition). The application uses SQL Server 2005 Express. Soon, I will be in a position to take a large amount of data from the end user of the project and put it into the database then deploy the application to his machine. This will be a long process as there is some data in spreadsheets and lots of data on the backs of envelopes etc! At this point he will begin to use the application and add/modify data on a regular basis. However, after a few weeks, he will return to me and say "Can you change this part There's a bug in that part etc." How can I then update the application and re-install it on his machine and mai ...Show All

• Robin E Davies Transforming data values?

  I would like to use the data binding mechanism to bind a NumericUpDown control to an int-valued property on an object. However, for various reasons, I want the control to show a value that is one greater than the value of the property(*). Is there some easy way to do this In general, I guess I'm asking if there is some way to transform values in the data source to control properties and vice versa. Cheers, Simon (*) Why do I want to do this The property I want to bind in the object is a zero-based index value, however, it would be more appropriate to present this to the user as a one-based index. I'd like the mapping to be automated. Hi, Handle the Format event of the Binding object used to databind ...Show All
