• Michael Hansen Class with UserControl and multiple buttons - please help

  How would I rewrite this code so that Class1, rather than the base class of the application, contains the controls The way I've got it here does it all on the base class and is just to demonstrate more or less what it ought to look like if I could figure it out.

• CJ_1234 Is it possible to use DataGridViewRowCollection.List.RemoveRange?

  Is it possible to use DataGridViewRowCollection.List.RemoveRange instead of DataGridViewRowCollection.RemoveAt to improve performance I tried the following, but it did not work: class AlphaRowCollection : DataGridViewRowCollection { public AlphaRowCollection(DataGridView dataGridView) : base(dataGridView) { } public void RemoveRange(int index, int count) { List.RemoveRange(index, count); //this works fine: /* for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i) { RemoveAt(index); } */ } } Hi, There is a remark in the MSDN : The List unshares all the rows in the D ...Show All

• michaelp Value not appearing in textbox

  In a nutshell... I'm new to working with C# in Visual Studio and I have a dilemma. I am populating an arraylist with datetime values via a winform. When I click a certain button on that form I want to see the second arraylist item appear in a textbox. The code I'm using to do that is: ReturnedTimesheetTextBox.Text = theCurrentEmployee.Timesheet[1].ToString(); However, clicking the button produces this text in the textbox: EmployeeProject.Timesheet Now, "Timesheet" is the name of a property which is of a type ArrayList and which resides in another class. "EmployeeProject" is, of course, the name of the VS project this exists in. Can anyone offer any help as to why I'm not seeing my datetime value app ...Show All

• zuoliang System.Windows.Forms.Message in C#

  I created a message with: "Message msg = Message .Create(( IntPtr )iAsyncResult.AsyncState, WM_CUSTOMMSG, ( IntPtr ) null , ( IntPtr ) null );" How do I send it Thanks I've often wondered why SendMessage and PostMessage are not supported within a .NET assembly. This PInvoke isn't too bad, but it would have been more convenient just to use a method in Message. Does anyone know the reason why the .NET Framework dudes didn't support SendMessage It's possibly to low level to be provided in the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework doesn't want people to use SendMessage to do their stuff. PInvoke.net has a nice reference on how to include the native method "SendMessage" ...Show All

Is this possible and how would this be done Grtz Annihil8 I believe what Paul said would be good in this situation as a "patch" or workaround. To paul: Your answer does work indeed. Thnx To ahmedilyas : I have a parent form and a child form. On the parent form there is a button which opens the child parent. ParentFrm = drawing of coordinates ChildFrm = datagridview of coordinates. You should open and close the ChildFrm.

• viveque Progress Bar Redraw With New Value

  I am trying to write a program which calls a new thread to do the bulk of the processing. I have set it up so that the main class has a progress bar which updates as the program runs. The only problem is that the progressbar stops working once the program loses focus on my computer. Also, rather then updating the progressbar on a timer, I would prefer if the new thread could update it every time it updates 100 records. Is there any way to fix this problem, and is there any way for the new thread to tell the original when to do the update A snippet of the code I am using is below: Thanks, Russ Original Thread: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ private void button1_Click(object sender, ...Show All
