• Alba Control visiblilty of main form component after the close of pop-up win form

  Dear All, My problem here is that first I have a combo box. Upon selecting a value of the combo box its visible set to false.

This form just show data so the idea was rather than show a check box make both the label an box visible=false and then if the checkbox is checked make the label visible=true. However VS no longer likes my labels. in Form1.Designer.cs... #region Windows Form Designer generated code private void InitializeComponent () { System.Windows.Forms.

• db_guy Overriding IsInputKey causes Windows Default Beep

  Can this be stopped I created a textbox to detect when the user presses the arrow keys, tab key, or Shift+Tab, and it detects and handles the keypresses just fine, but after every press there is an annoying beep. I've been searching for the better part of an hour to find an answer before posting here. Hopefully it's a simple fix! This is the code I used for overriding IsInputKey: protected override bool IsInputKey(Keys keyData) { bool ret = true; switch (keyData) { case Keys.Left: break; case Keys.Right: break; case Keys.Up: break; case Keys.Down: break; case Keys.Tab: break; case Keys.Shift | Keys.Tab: break; default: ...Show All

• DrLectEr ComboBox with List<CustomClass> Datasource problem.

  I have a combobox which is bound to a List<CustomClass> (i.e. list of objects of my own custom class type) through its DataSource property. When the datasource is initially set, the items are filled out as expected (i.e. reflecting the items in the list), however my problem is that if i then add an item to the list after it has been bound to the combobox then the combobox items arent updated to reflect the change. How can i solve this I have tried to refresh, update, invalidate etc the combobox, but they all just deal with the UI/drawing side from what i can tell. Thanks in advance Paul e.g. List<CustomClass> exampleList = new List<CustomClass>(); exampleList.Add(new CustomClass(0)) ...Show All
