• Tao Lin DataGridView: New row not added when edited programmatically

  I have a DataGridView that displays a DataTable to the user. If the user presses the F3 key while in a cell, I show a popup window that allows the user to enter detailed information for the cell. When the ok button on the popup is pressed, the total of the details is put into the cell. This works fine, except when this is done in a cell on the new row. As soon as the user types a character in one of these cells on the new row, the DataGridView automatically adds the row to the DataTable and another empty new row is displayed in the DataGridView. But, if the user presses F3 and I programmatically set the cell's value in the DataGridView_KeyDown event, the row is not commited to the DataTable and another empty new row is not displayed in ...Show All

• Mu0n Dynamically created Registry Keys in .NET Installer

  Hi, I have written a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio 2005 (VC++). I have created a Setup Project in my solution and am configuring it. My application uses registry values, and so I am entering the Registry Keys and Values needed by my app in the deployment Registry Editor within Visual Studio 2005. I use several Values whose data is a filename or path, but that path depends on the selected install folder the user chooses while installing the program (using this Setup program I am creating.) My question is, is it possible to use some sort of variable while specifiying the value for a Registry Value in the Registry Editor And if it is, how do I get the Root Target Folder for the installed application Thanks - Samy PS.

• Mateusz Rajca Calling open another form

  Yet another question for you guys: I have created 2 forms in my application. I want a button on Form1 to "call open" Form2 without opening another window. AKA: Sort of like a "Next Page" option. What code would I put in the button event handler to perform that task It works when I tested it. When I open Form 2, it hides Form 1 as well. I was not really looking for a code to actually bring a new form up INSIDE of another form... Although that would be neat if I could find out how to do that... Give me the details, what code do i put where lol... (im completly new to this, forgive my ignorance). Thanks a billion trillion! Merry Christmas! You open the other like this: public ...Show All

• Hollispj How to find computers domain

  Hello, I'm trying to find the full domain name of the current computer to use in the constructor of the System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry object. It seems as if you can use: System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name and parse it Or System.Environment.UserDomainName however that only gives you the 15 character short domain name. Is there any other way to get it without using an API call Thanks. Hi, Ryanhav Try this piece of code: System.Net.NetworkInformation. IPGlobalProperties prop = System.Net.NetworkInformation.

• CPark72 Making MessageBox stay on top

  My issue is a little worse than the typical "make Forms::MessageBox stay on top of another window". My program is designed to work with another application, and it does not have a user interface. When an error occurs, it needs to notify the user of the other application. However, that other application is some legacy product, written in Win16-era LabVIEW, spawns a bunch of windows, and uses modality to arrange them on top of each other. In other words, it would be near impossible to obtain a handle to whatever window happens to be topmost at a give time. Now, I know that making dialog boxes "system modal" is evil, and thus MessageBox doesn't even have that option, but what should I do My program also has a notification ...Show All

• SPECIALK_BC Creative inspiration

  Hi Guys, I want to build a scrollable information-rich GUI list, rather like the list of emails in MS office. That is, a list of boxes, with each box containing a couple of lines including title (maybe in bold), some information, some numbers and maybe a couple of icons. What do you think is be best way to construct this I'm guessing many of you will say datagridview or some sort of custom control. These would be fine, but any help in terms of exactly how to do this would be really appreciated. Two things to think about: 1) I'm not an expert programmer, eg. I'm not completely sure how to do complicated inheritance. 2) I only have VC++ Express - can you create custom controls with this If so, how Any help appreciated - any good ...Show All
