• Manoj Bhardwaj override copy command

  Is there a way to over ride the CTRL+C Command and also override a context menu "copy" command The reason I ask this is because in work I have 2 pc's KVM'ed and I would like to share one clipboard with the other and vice versa, I have the app working but I would like it to possibly hook the copy command completly. any way of doing it Khalid is correct as far as the Clipboard goes. Transferring the data over a KVM switch is a no-go, it is just an electrical switch, not a data switch. Instead of a KVM, consider using a remote access program such as RealVNC or TightVNC. They are capable of transferring not just keyboard, video and mouse but also the clipboard contents. You dont actually need to hook a copy command. ...Show All

• Mr.Siddhardhaa Creating custom extended Calendar control

  I need to implement a Calendar Control in my application so that it can be used throught the aplication.

• Shipra Gosain inherited form constructor not found warning message

  I've seen one other post about this and it was never replied to, so I'm assuming this problem could be universal. When using a form that's a base class to be inherited by other forms that has a constructor with parameters, I consistently get a warning about the constructor not being found, and I can't use the designer on any of the inherited forms. Granted everything compiles and works just fine, but I always get a warning message, and I can't use the designer for any of the inherited forms. The designer for the base class works fine however. If I add a parameterless constructor on the base class that calls InitalizeComponent(), everything works correctly. But this is an entirely useless constructor that's used only to get the des ...Show All

• GregMaxey Windows installer launch condition

  Hi Guys, I am trying to create a setup and deployment project in VS 2005 for a windows form project. A couple of dependencies for my application are - 1) .NET framework 2) ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 I have been able to successfully add the .NET 2.0 framework check to the launch condition.

• cosminb Office 2007 Control Style

  How do I get controls similar to the ones in the new office 2007. I am not talking about the ribbon or anything, just the "general" controls like the textbox and combobox with the same style (the lighter blue and such) There's a number of toolkits that will help facilitate the Office 2007 "general" look throughout your entire app. DotNetMagic: http://www.devcomponents.com/dotnetbar/ DotNetBar: http://www.dotnetmagic.com/ Krypton: http://www.componentfactory.com/ The latter is something I really have to stop mentioning (3rd time this week), but I do use it in my own work. The Office 2007 styling in Krypton is free for you to use in your .NET 2.0 applications. The other are ...Show All

  Hello, I am using Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 to insert a large number of dates into Excel.

• djchapin Prerequisite not working?

  I'm trying to build a setup for my application using a Windows Installer project. I'm using VS2005. My Windows application requires SQL Server 2005 Express, so I marked that as one of the prerequisites. I built the installer successfully and ran it on one computer running XP. It successfully detected that neither .net 2.0 or SQL Server 2005 Express were installed and installed both of them before installing my application. My application ran just fine and life was good. I then took the exact same setup.exe and setup.msi and ran them on another computer - also running XP. It didn't attempt to install either of the prerequisites, and seemed to successfully install my application. As soon as my app was launched though it failed with " ...Show All

• New-Bee The "Move" glyph in the upper left corner...How to?

  Hi. I'm trying to make a custom designer for my control and there's one thing I can't figure out. When you insert a regular panel and select it, you get that little button with the cross in it, at the upper left corner of the panel, so you can drag the control around. How do I get that to show when selecting my control I'm guessing I have to do something with Adorner, Glyphs and Behaviours, but I can't figure out what. Thanks in advance for any info. Cheers. where does your custom designer inherit from have you tried inheriting from PanelDesigner yet These things are new for 2.0 (new glyphs, DesignerActionList, etc.) that i also need to learn, Thanks for your suggestion.
