• xtw resize the datagrids?

  I have two datagrids on a form. Sometimes the top one contains for rows, sometimes the bottom one. Is there a way that the user can grab the bottom of the top datagrid and move it up so that it becomes a smaller window, then grab the top of the bottom datagrid and slide it up so it becomes a larger window Thanks If you're using .NET 2.0, the SplitContainer would be the right tool for the job. Put it on the form, set its Dock property to Fill an Orientation property to Horizontal. Put the first grid in the upper panel and second grid in lower one. Set both grid's Dock panel to Fill. If you're using .NET 1.x, the Splitter control will help you achieve a similar solution. Just dock it between both grids. ...Show All

• Japu Deployment of VB.NET Application Fails

• re infecta Copy files using custom actions in Setup Project

  I have a project to deploy but there is a file (non code), that will need to be copied to a directory on the install machine, that is not the application directory (app dir). To make maters worse, this directory will be different on every machine. So I can not use the File system editor. My thinking was to use a custom action on the Install_AfterInstall event. This action would look in the application directory where that app had just been installed and copy this file to a specific dir on the users machine. The problem is this dir could be anywhere on the users machine. The good news is the dir will always be named the same. How do I get the app dir name so I can copy this file at the end of the setup process Will the file exist on t ...Show All

  I am having a serious problem with accessing controls in another thread. This is the runtime error message I get. I want to describe the setup in general terms without displaying the code since it is large and complicated and would need a lot of editing for clarity if I am to do it.

• sweet_salt Text to Screen

  Hello, I need help figuring out how to write text directly to the screen. I've looked at the forums and the online help but still no luck. Any help would be appriciated. Hi, if you want to write the the screen device context you can use GetDC with a value of null to get the desktop device context, then you can draw onto that directly. The following code is an example of how to draw some red text directly onto the screen: using System; using System.Drawing; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern IntPtr GetDC(IntPtr hWnd); [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern int ReleaseDC(IntPtr hWnd, IntPtr hDC); ...Show All

• Vijay Guru Prasadh Converting a windows form (and other) object(s)?

  I am writing a c# DLL and want some functions to create windows forms and windows form objects. The DLL is for a language that only has standard variable types such as int, float, double, string, etc. So I cant really input an object as a function parameter. Is there a way to get some sort of string or integer handle for an object Also, if anyone could give me an example to write a button creation function that returns a handle I would greatly appreciate it. The only type of handle to an object that .NET provides is an object reference. So you'll need to devise your own mapping. What I'd do is create a pair of dictionaries - one Dictionary<string, object>, and one Dictionary<object, ...Show All
