• mouxaifeong Creating a Custom MaskedTextBoxColumn for a DataGridView

  I am trying to create a MaskedTextBoxColumn to be used in a DataGridView control on a windows form in vb2005. I am working off the article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7tas5c80.aspx which describes how to do a calendar control in a datagridview. The two issues I have run into are setting the 'Mask' property of the MaskedTextBox control by setting parameters on my Cell & Control classes. It works fine if I hard code the mask into the default constructor (New()) but not when I create a parameterized constuctor (New(mask as string). When debugging, it appears to call my parameterized constructor, then it calls the default constructor essentially nullifying my 'Mask' property. I've overridden the 'Clone' function on my Cel ...Show All

• Surly GraphicsPath on Transparent Bitmap

  I've recently migrated over from VB6 to VB.Net and C#. I decided to rewrite a fairly simple program that drew lines onto a semitransparent form and then made the form completely transparent once the drawing was complete. The problem that I've found with C# is that after I call Bitmap.MakeTransparent(), I cannot use GraphicsPath to draw on the form. Is there some way of setting the bitmap back having a solid background after calling MakeTransparent Any help would be greatly appreciated. Will Vandergrift Wilz Modz It is not clear how the bitmap and drawing on the form interacts. Show us some code please. Here is the code for setting up the graphics object and also for drawing the lines and displaying the bitmap. p ...Show All

• cichanlx Button's default property

  Hello, i've migrated from Win32 Delphi to .NET VS 2005 C# develpment lately. I would like to ask, if there's some functionality as a Delphi's button's "Default" property in the VS, please For example, there are edit and button on the form, i want to execute OnClick event handler, when user presses Enter key in the edit control. Thank you for any kind help. If you click on the TextBox and go to the Properties panel, look for a property that says AcceptsReturn. Set this to true to accept a return key. Then in the Properties panel toolbar, click the button that looks like a lightening bolt. That gets you to the control's click events. I think the one for the Return key is Enter. You would pu ...Show All

• Can-Ann Prevent datagridview showing glyphs when working with rows

  Hi @all! I'm currently working with the .NET 2.0 datagridview. I've overwritten the datagridviewrowheader class to display different icons in the rowheader. That's fine so far. But the grid still displays these glyphs in the background of the rowheader cell. With the property showeditinglyph it's only possible to disable the editing icon, but I don't want the datagrid to show any icons or glyphs. How can I disable this functionality in the datagrid   \Helmut   Thanks for your hint. This was almost the right solution, but it would be better to remove the PaintParts.ContentBackground bit flag. (probably you even meant that) Now it's working! ...Show All

• weaasd how can i set icon/image in listview sub item

  is there any way i can set an icon/image for each listview subitem in .NET v2.0 The ListView control in .net2.0 do not provide such feature. You need to extend ListView class by youself. Hi, I don't quite follow what you want. ListView has four view mode which are Details, LargeIcon, SmallIcon, Title and List. And only in details mode can you view the subitems. You can use the image list to show the icon before each item as Dave said, but what do you mean by setting an icon for listview subitem Take a look at the Small Image List, Large Image List and State Image List properties for the list view. ...Show All

• Pockey Visibility + TabStop

  Hi, I got some controls on a Form which I hide if they are not necessary. If they are depends on the input in other controls, so they might just appear by change of the Visible flag. validation of the input and the change of the visible flag is done on validation of a control. The problem is now that if somebody navigates through the controls with the Tab key, the new controls are ignored the first time. Example: - Form1 with TextBoxes textBox1, textBox2 and textBox3 - Tab order is textBox1, textBox2 and textBox3 - textBox2 is not visible. - event handler for textBox1.Validating contains: textBox.Visible = true; If you navigate now from textBox1 by pressing the Tab key, textBox2 appears, but the cursors jump to textBox3.

• Aneel Web "color picker"

  I am working on an application in VS2005, using a VB type project. I have been playing around a little bit with the Color Dialog control but it doesn't quite do what I need. I want to allow the users the ability to change some of the colors used for various things, and I would like to restrict the choices to those available within the "WebPalette" side of things. But I need to restrict it further because I don't want to allow for the selection of "light" colors because the areas that they can work with all have a white background. Therefore choosing something like "white" for the text color would be disasterous and comical at the same time. I would like to create a "list"... similar to that one ...Show All

• R1ZWAN Web Publishing with multiple connection strings

  Hi, We have two environments available to all users, one for testing and user training, pointing to a database and a live environment pointing to another database. A third is on the developer machines and we all have our own DB running locally. I publish to two different locations for users (live and test) and two links on the users desktop point to either environment, which need different connection strings. Here's my problem: Before publishing, I change the connection string to say "Data Source=testserver", but when users start the test app it will fail and the log says: ********** http://d9k2cn1j/Golfbreaks.TheClubhouse/Test/Golfbreaks.TheClubhouse_1_0_0_6/Golfbreaks.TheClubhouse.exe.config did not succeed. ******* ...Show All
