• C.Melançon Can someone confirm this for me

  Hi, I have been trying to find an answer, even a hint, but despite posting the following question on various forums i haven't even had a single reply for nearly two weeks :o(. "Why do treeview tooltips flash if the main form has its transparencykey set " Could a couple of people please try this (its a 67 second job) just so i know it isn't just my PC :o) You can replicate this behaviour really easily by (c# VS2003) 1) creating a new c# windows application 2) set Form1.TransparencyKey to the same as Form1.BackColor 3) Add a treeview to the form 4) Add a node to TreeView1 whose text is too long to display (i used 'whyisthishappeningwhyisthishappeningwhyisthishappeningwhywhywhy') 5) run the application and hover your ...Show All

• abcoura Giving Focus to the Tab Control

  Hello,    I have a tab control with 2 tabPages in it for data entry. The second tabPage is information that the user does NOT have to fill out - so I give them the option. But if they do want to fill it out, I have a button at the end of tabPage 1 for them to proceed to that 2nd tabPage.

Private void button3_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) {      if (tabPage2.Focus() != true )      tabPage2.Select(); } Thanks! Any help would be great! pps I just n ...Show All

• Vedet.. DataGridview SplitContainer Problem / Strange Behavior

  Hi All, I have a DataGridView functioning perfectly with the following code to allow only numeric entries display for columns 5, 6, and 7. The DataGridView is binded to a Dataset. When a SplitContainer is added to the form and the DataGridView is added to the SplitContainder, the code below no longer works. EditingControlShowing does not fire. (Inherited problem ). But, when I delete the SplitContainder and the DataGridview, then add a new DataGridView back on the form, the EditingControlShowing still does not fire. My workspace appears to be corrupted for EditControlShowing to fire. Any thoughts on what is happening Private Sub DataGridView1_EditingControlShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewEditi ...Show All

• A Bodnar Customized Datagrid

• carlop Container UserControl

  How do I make a usercontrol that functions like a container Didn't Inherits ContainerControl work If you're going to be adding any number of controls (say, above 4-5) to the container, that's not the best way to do it. One, each assignment to Parent fires off a litany of resize and re-layout events, which may cause undesirable behavior; two, it's not as obvious as "Controls.Add(child)". Using Controls.Add or Controls.AddRange allows all the layout to happen at once. But it's up to you. Yes, it worked, but when I added controls to it they didn't display. That is, when I added controls to it in code view in the DLL, they didn't display in design view in the test application. Nevermind, I figured it ...Show All

• Propellorhead How to disable deault sorting in datagridview without extending the datagrid?

  Hi, I want to disable default sorting in datagrid , is there any possible way to accomplish this task Thanks. Sorry for bothering .. I got the solution . here it is DataGridView1.Columns(0).SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.NotSortable Thanks for reply ... Yeah the way you wrote is ok to go for but I just checked that I have DataGrid instead of DataGridView and rows are populated dynamically .. and the way to stop default sorting is something like DataGrid1.AllowSorting=false. Once again sorry for inconvenience...

• mman06 UICues and how to use them.

  This is a question that is related to a question I asked earlier about how to make sure a listbox shows me what item currenly has focus without changing the highlight. I have narrowed this down to making sure that the ShowFocusCues and ShowKeyboardCues is turned on, but I have overriden those properties in a control I am using and it has no affect. Is there a way for me to force the UICues on a form into a certain mode That's very odd. The TAB key normally moves the focus from one control to another. In your case, it should move the focus *away* from the listbox. Are you sure everything is hunkydory with your thread Is it using Control.Invoke to update the listbox Actually, no, I want to see the focuscues when it does have ...Show All
