• Windows Forms Force to show scroll bars on a ScrollableControl

  Hello. If I draw a shape (say rectangle) outside the client area of the ScrollableControl, how can I force the latter to show scroll bars so the user could view the drawn shape Thank you beforehand, Mikhail. If you set the AutoScroll property to true and set the AutoScrollMinSize property to the size of the area the client area views, you should automatically get scrollbars. If you're performing all the drawing manually, you'll have to process the Scroll event and shift your origin appropriately when drawing. To manually override which scroll bars are visible, set the VScroll and HScroll properties. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Remove branch

  Is there any way to remove branch I know that it is just a folder and I can delete it. I even agree that it is not a problem that the folder will be always here in "show deleted items" mode.

• SQL Server Setting the chart scale

  Hey guys, I'm stuck on this one. I have several bar graphs on a report arranged vertically (one on top of the other). I want all the graphs to be the same scale so that they are comparable. Note, these must be different graphs and cannot be combined into one uber graph. Anyway, I've tried variuous settings on my bar graph's scale properties minimum and maximum but they just don't work. It makes me think I don't know what they do. Any ideas here I want my bar graphs to always have the same scale. Any help would be great. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Counting Mouse clicks?

  How can I count mouse clicks in VB.net The purpose is to select an entire sentence with triple clicks. ( Windows by default selects a word on double clicking ) There's good news and bad here. The good news is the both controls are rich in events for mouse interaction which means that wndprocs will be too. But here is where I've had difficulty. There are windproc mouse double click messages and perhaps there's information in lpatams that I haven't fully explored, but I've never been able to fully characterize a double click at the wndproc level although both of these control have an event. I have step back for a moment and think. You have a doubleclick event. Why not start a timer after a double cl ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Automatically discovered printers raise multiple JobAdded events

  Howdy, I'm a little new to interoping, so I need a little help. I have a WaitCallback method that raises an event whenever a job has been added to the print queue on the local machine (generally a print server). The primary purpose is to pause all incoming jobs so they can be properly logged, and then released afterwards. The jobs are stored in a queue in a separate SQL database. This is all well and good when a user adds a printer through the "Add Printer..." dialog. However, whenever UPnP discovers a printer and automatically adds it, the jobs sent through that device raise multiple JobAdded events. As an example, let's say we have a Xerox Document Centre 432 on the print server \\beast . If I share this printer on a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom Work Item Controls - How can you have one custom work item control trigger the InvalidateDatasource() method of another?

  I want to create two custom work item controls. Each control will be a drop down list box. In the InvalidateDatasource() method of Control1, I retrieve information from a database, populate the drop down list box, check to see if a value has already been selected for the list box, and if so, set the list box equal to that value. I've got this working (which is pretty cool!). Now, based on the contents of the first drop down list box, I want to filter what contents are in the second drop down list box, called Control2 (picture Control1 being a list of states, and Control2 being a list of cities, specific to which state is selected in Control1). How do I, from Control1.InvalidateDatasource(), trigger Control2.InvalidateDatasource() Con ...Show All
