• Avhacker validating a tab page

  I have a tab page validating event to prevent the user from switching to other tab page if the current tab page has some required information not filled. When the validating fails, e.cancel is set to true. Now the problem starts. Any button or check box doesn't work anymore on that tab page. I mean button click event won't fire. The check box can't be checked and unchecked. The only thing that can be done is to enter information in the text field. Is this behavior by design If not, what can I do to make the button and check box work when the tab page validating fails Thanks for any suggestions. Have you tried explicitly selecting the tab-page you which to stay on this .tabPage1.Select() ...Show All

• Parsnips Treeview Question!

  I’m using a tree, I’ve populated it fine. But if I have a form with a tree on it, the tree is expanded . Then when there is no activity on the pc for a while I hide the forms, show a log on screen.

  Hi I have a DataSet with two different DataTable s. The tables are: "Groups", groupID (PK), name. "Users", userID (PK), groupID (FK), fullname, age. To display the information for the user (in the DataGridView ), I create another DataTable , T , having the merged information of the two tables above.

• jorijo BindingNavigator DeleteItem

  Hi, I would like to change the default code of the generated DeleteItem that is created if you create a BindingNavigator. I changed the click eventhandler of the deleteItem Button on the BindingNavigator, as i said, so that the user first agrees in a yes/no MessageBox if he is sure to delete the shown record. Here is the code: private void bindingNavigatorDeleteItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if(warrantyIDTextBox.Text.ToString() != "") { DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure to delete the shown file ", "Confirm File Delete", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question); if (result == DialogResult.Yes) { this.warranty_ExWarrant ...Show All

• Nuno_Salvado Version of Exe in a Package

  I have an application in my system. The updates are available in a WebServer. I want to check if the version of exe in WebServer is updated one. How to check the version of that packaged exe available in a WebServer How to download the same from web server, if the version is updated Assuming you are doing this update checking manually (as ClickOnce does it for you automatically)... Without downloading the entire file you aren’t going to be able to easily tell the version of the file on the server... one easier way to accomplish this is to have an xml or text file that contains the version sitting on the server next to the application in question that can more easily be d ...Show All

• senfo In VS2005, the Visual Designer keeps rearranging the order and position of Toolstrips.

  Using VS2005 Standard Ed. Ver 2.0. Why does the Visual Designer rearrange the position and order of my toolstrips every time I open a form in the Designer Is there a way to prevent this behavior The form has a ToolStripContainer which has only the TopToolStripPannel visable. There are 6 ToolStrips within the pannel. Each ToolStrip has Anchor=None, Dock=None, Locked=False. Problem also occurs with other combinations of Anchor, Dock, Locked. Two of the Toolstrips have custom ToolStripItems. Both custom ToolStripItems are items converting separate custom controls derived from ComboBoxes.

• SarahB123 Bindingnavigator control can't add or delete the items.

  Hi, I have a binding navigator control with a form. The only problem is that i can't add or delete any data. What i don't understand is that it showed when i click the + button that it is adding the row as I can see the auto increment for the id field but once i input everything it can't be saved. I re run the application or look into the database and its not there. I have tried to use sever methods like Me .BindingContext(PamsDataSet.tbl_rsl).EndCurrentEdit() but no luck. I have also tried to put the addnew property of Navigator to none and then addnew from the code like this : Me .TblrslBindingSource.AddNew() but still no luck. Infact the new MSDN library for 2005 is no help at all. When i search something it brings ...Show All

• nc-ghost Gird View Sorting

  Hi I'm populating info from a database to a gridview format. It has about 8 fields. Now when I click on the header from each coloum, I assume it will sort acording to that colum. But that does not happen. For ex. when I click on date, it changes the order it is displayed but its not sorted properly. Not in assending or decending. Why is this How can I get this to work Are you having trouble sorting just the dates or other fields as well If you are only having problems sorting dates, it might be because you store or retreive the data as strings. For instance, if you had these 3 dates: 1/2/06, 2/3/06, and 11/12/06, and you sort by date, you would expect them to be sorted in that order. However, if you sort ...Show All

• Jeff Williams How to make virtual text in the Textbox.

  Hello All, If i'm setting Text properties for Textbox, and i click dropdown button, appear a virtual text like "Press enter to begin new line" in the middle of the box. and then when i type a char on the keyboard the virtual text disappear. How it work if i apply for textbox in my application. Thank very much. not sure I follow exactly. I guess by default you will have this text written into the textbox. On a keypress event for example, check to see if this is the default "virtual" text and if so, then remove that text. There will be a problem however, things like perhaps culture issues etc... Really if I understand correct, in the textbox properties just set the default Text ...Show All

• RobC2k6 Multiple executables delivered through 1 ClickOnce?

  I have a solution which contains multiple executables, a widget player, a widget designer and others. My prior MSI allowed the user to run one msi and all executables would be installed with appropriate links in Start->All Programs->MyApp folder. I would like to do the same with ClickOnce. Is this possible If so, how I have a similar problem, but my launch app can't have the references of the other applications because this has to be configured in runtime.
