• JoneLee cause a property to display "builder" button to browse for folder ?

  I'm writing a custom control. One of its properties is a directory name. I'd like the property sheet to display a "build" button that--when clicked, displays the standard Browse for Folder dialog. I have no idea how to do this. Any help getting started is appreciated. Good job Joey. I wasn't sure if that could be done. This is the real answer. :) I don't know if you can call the folder browser directly, so you might need to research that some, but you can do what you want by: Creating a custom editor for your property derived from UITypeEditor (Look at help for this guy for a good sample) public override UITypeEditorEditStyle GetEditStyle(System ...Show All

• sveroa Text Color problem

  Hey, Below is the code I did to make the text color change, it does not give me any errors but it wont change the color of the text when I test it...here is the code: private void textColorToolStripMenuItem_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { RichTextBox thisrichtextbox = GetCurrentTextBox(); colorDialog1.Color = thisrichtextbox.ForeColor; colorDialog1.AnyColor = true ; if (colorDialog1.ShowDialog() != DialogResult .Cancel) { colorDialog1.Color = thisrichtextbox.ForeColor; thisrichtextbox.SelectionColor = colorDialog1.Color; } } Thanks :) I believe that's because your ColorDialog1's Color is set (again) after dialog is closed. In the end,&nbs ...Show All

• jwagner20 Implements IBindingListView Problem

  Does anyone have a VB sample of a collection implementing the  IBindingListView interface. I need to make the filter option availabe from the BindingSource for my objects. Thanks Fair enough Ken, but what of the merit of my filtering delegate idea I'm not fishing for compliments here, or dishing out insults. I'm objectively trying to find a better, more flexible, alternative to parsing filter strings, crudely or otherwise :-) I'd like an example too. Thanks. I started working on such a beast yesterday, which resulted in me stumbling across this thread. This is my first post ever, so if someone already knows of a full&nb ...Show All

• marcusadolfsson String with color

  Hi all, Anyone knows how to put some color to string output For example, I have this output in my listbox: string value1; string value2; myListbox.Items.Add(String.Format("{0} - {1}", value1, value2)); and now I want to color value1 red and value2 blue.

• neo1000 Set SingleMonthSize

  Is there any way to set the SingleMonthSize of the calendar control in C# I wish I can increase the size of the calendar but apparently I were not allowed to do that. You can not directly adjust the size of the monthCalendar, set the Font size of the calendar instead, it would auto-size the monthCalendar to fit the font size, by default the font size of monthCalendar is 8.25, set it to whatever you want. for example: Font f = new Font ( this .monthCalendar1.Font.FontFamily, ( float )10.2); this .monthCalendar1.Font = f; Thanks Zhi-Xin Ye. ...Show All

• arturm TypeDescriptionProvider attribute is ignored with generic Form

  I am trying to create a generic form that can be designed in the VS designer. I found an article (http://www.urbanpotato.net/Default.aspx/document/2001) that fixed this for an abstract form and now I am trying to do the same thing with generics. But it seems that the TypeDescriptionProvider attribute is ignored when the Form is generic. The message box does not popup when I enter the designer (and of course the form cannot be designed). But when I remove the <T> from the generic form (and the <object> from the derived) the message box popup! Shouldn’t it always popup even if the class is generic or am I missing something Here is my GenericForm: [TypeDescriptionProvider(typeof(GenericFormProvider))] public class GenericForm< ...Show All
