• Windows Forms Docking strangeness

  Hi, I have a form with one panel containing a label and combobox, and a third-party grid. The grid should fill all the available form apart from the panel at the top with the combobox. But for some reason no docking style combinations seem to support this. pnl.Dock=DockStyle.Top, 3rdGrid.Dock=DockStyle.Bottom / Fill, setting the 3rdGrid's location just beneath the panel etc... Nothing seems to work as expected. Anyone any pointers 3rdGrid.Dock=DockStyle.Fill If the above code doesn't work. Set the 3rdGrid.Dock to NONE and used the Anchor property instead. Anchor the grid to all corners. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form wont BringToFront

  Howdy, I have a notify icon that opens a window. To open the window you can either click 'Open' in the icons context menu or just double click on the icon. The menu option is fine, but whenever I use the double click feature, the window opens but doesn't come to the front and doesn't have focus. It must be something with the second mouse click releasing focus but I have no idea how to right this. Any suggestions Both events (the menu click and the icon double click) rasie the following event: Private Sub itmOpen_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles itmOpen.Click, nfyNotify.MouseDoubleClick Me .WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal Me .ShowInTaskbar = True Me .BringToFron ...Show All

• Windows Forms Customise User Control

  I have four toolbox components that I "habitually" add to classes that derive from UserControl, and I'm thinking of adding two or three more - these are non visual things that reside in the component tray. What I'd prefer to do is to create a new UserControl base, with my components built in as properties. Can anyone point me in the direction of information of how to do this. I've tried putting a Control together with a Design Surface and a few other things . I'd also appreciate any recommendations on any books that cover the "Designer" elements of .NET. Thanks PhilD if the said components are properties of the usercontrol, are you expecting 8 instances of these on the compone ...Show All

• Visual C++ Couple of Errors

  I hope that for once that Microsoft may release something that isn't riddles with bugs, but it seems that will never happen... Now, onto errors... - Error "Object Required". Here's what I did. Using an MFC App project, I renamed the dialog IDD_OPTIONS to IDD_OPTIONS2 and renamed the class it was associated with COptionsDlg to COptionsDlg2. I created a new dialog, copied the IDD_OPTIONS contents to new dialog template. Renamed new template to IDD_OPTIONS. Got an error saying IDD_OPTIONS2 was already in use. Opened resource.h file and deleted IDD_OPTIONS define. Tried again and it works. Now try to assign it a class, COptionsDlg. I get an error saying "Object Required." - Unresolved symbol. I was simply building a project ...Show All

What do I need to do to get the new values to hold. Thanks, -Lori ...Show All

• Visual C++ performance Comparison between C++, C# and COBOL

  Hi everyone, Currently our company is in the process of converting from a mainframe environment to PCs. As a pilot we took an application that processses about 5 million rows with about a record length of 7000 bytes the stats were amazing C# it took 3 minutes 17 seconds, C++ (native and not .net) 1 minute 28 seconds and believe it or not the COBOL program took only 45 seconds. The program has a simple read of a record, process few business rules and replace certain bytes in the string and write back to a new file. I expected C++ to perform better. does anyone has any idea why the COBOL program performed better than the C++ program. The data files were the same, the logic were the same, the machine it was executed was t ...Show All

  hi, The problem actually is, when I use File Explore go to my handheld, "My Windows Mobile-Based Device", When I browse the folder like Build-in Storage, Temp, Windows, the icon for folder somehow get changed to exe icon . I tried to re-install ActiveSync 4.0, but still did not fix it. I tried to install 4.2, but sometimes, it does not work for my X51 which is WM5.0.

• Visual Studio ReportViewer Calendar Popup javascript errors

  I'm having problems using ReportViewer to display a server report with a date parameter. If the page is contained within a master page, simply clicking the button to bring up the calendar causes a javascript error: Object Required when attempting to call ToggleVisiblity Is there a workaround to this other than not using a master page After further investigation, this has nothing to do with master pages but the fact that the report viewer is contained within a container styled as position:relative. It seems that the control needs to determine the offset to display the div containing the calendar in the correct position. ...Show All
