• scruber Can you make non-constant transparency :)

  Like this http://www.youtube.com/watch v=RAtbXP_BiXk Gradient in some places and opaque in another, and custom shadow. It's without copying pixels from background windows, as you can see there is no delay in animation unders window and outside it. Even if you think it's not good for general interface it's very good for antialiased window edges Also that rotating window effect ;) It works in WinXP and people say in Win2000 too with additional gdiplus.dll No. It's just GDI+, WinAPI and a bit MFC No need .NET framework and works as i said in WinXP and win2000 (with additional gdiplus.dll file) Hi Rambalac, The application in the video appears to be us ...Show All

• Arska 2D grid

  As i said in a previous post, i am writing an editor where i can "draw" maps using tiles. The tiles will be put on a 2D grid, each tile an object, and i am thinking of using the TableLayoutPanel and fill all the cells with picture boxes which in turn will hold the tile itself. However i can't seem to find a way of fixing the cells height and width, they remain dynamic. So, how do i make all the cells in a TableLayoutPanel fixed in width and height. Or maybe i should approach this project a whole other way hi, Please go through the below link. Hope this helps.

• sal.a it Continue event processing after a prompt within the Validating event handler

  I have many controls visible simultaneously on my Windows Form. One of them is an "editor," and when the user tries to leave that control by clicking on another control, I want to prompt the user to save their editing session, with a "Yes/No/Cancel" prompt. If the user clicks "Yes" or "No", then (after saving if they clicked "Yes"), the original click event should be processed. if they click "Cancel," the user should remain in the original "editor" control. To cancel, I just set the Validating event handler's CancelEventArgs argument's Cancel property to true (i.e., in C#: e.Cancel = true; ). However, displaying the MessageBox prompt in the Validating event inter ...Show All

• Saania Runtime listview width?

  lv is a ListView created & filled at runtime from a DataTable dt. It must adjust itself to a large variety of queries, so it must know how to autosize, so we add columns to it with Width=-1: ListView lv = new ListView(); for ( i = 0; i < icols; i++ ) { lv.Columns.Add( dt.Rows .ItemArray[0].ToString(), -1, HorizontalAlignment.Left ); } and they are populated from dt: for ( i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++ ) { sRow = new string[icols]; for( int j = 0; j < icols; j++ ) { sRow[j] = dt.Rows .ItemArray[j].ToString(); } ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem( sRow ); lv.Items.Add( lvi ); } Now to calculate the size of the container dialog window (to which lv will be anchored), I need th ...Show All

• RBChallenger Windows Forms designer moves my controls on build

  I have a project I'm working on.. we've been experiencing lots of issues with VS2005 moving our controls around on build. I have one form that is just being a pain in the rear. I place the buttons at the bottom of the form below a TabControl, and Anchor them to the bottom of the form. All the controls are locked in position. As soon as I run a build, the buttons shift themselves appx 40 pixels up, even though they are locked. This also causes the previously saved form to show the * next to the filename, indicating the build has actually modified the file to move my buttons. What gives here... my team has wasted at least several hours fighting with Forms that shift themselves vertically on build... any experience with this, or a potential i ...Show All

• NickGetz recognize html text in datagridview cell

  I have been trying to highlight certain text with a DataGridView DataGridViewTextBoxColumn. This is for a win32 application not a webpage. Is this possible One thing that I thought of to try was to get a cell to render the text as html. This way I could highlight multiple sections with simple html tags added to the text. Any help is appreciated. Yeah, embedding a webbrowser control in a cell sounds like trying to make popcorn with a flamethrower. It works but tends to have unintended consequences I think you are much better to try and make a RichTextBox into a cell. That shouldn't be to difficult to do, and it should be more than enough if you are just wanting to highlight some text. ...Show All

• Xcel Help with Winform and binding to an object

  I'm looking for the correct way for me to bind an object to a winform to display some of it's attributes. For Example a Person instance with first and last name. I've been able to do it using a BindingSource, but have run into several things that I don't like. 1. The bindingSource is working with a collection, I just want to have one "person" that I'm displaying on a winform. If I change the person, I want to just replace that instance, not add to a bindingSource and navigate. I don't want the navigating tool on the form either. 2. I want to have changes that are made to the current "person" flow up to the interface. A simple example would be a button, that changes the person's name directly. I use this as an example to ...Show All
