• Visual Basic Focus not setting on text box

  I have a sub that goes off when a tab selection is changed.  The only part of it that doesn't seem to work right is the part that sets the focus on the text box. It seem to be a trivial thing to do but I can't seem to get it to work.  I have other focus objects which work in other places but this one doesn't seem to want to work.  I know the Text boxes are correct and do not get any errors.  I have walked though the code in debug mode and and it steps through the lines one by one.  It even executes the Focus line but returns false for a value.  Anyone have an idea why Here is the code: Private Sub TabControl_Selected( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TabControlEventAr ...Show All

• Windows Forms C# namespace...

  Hi, i'm writing a shell extension in c# that will add two menu's to the right-click menu of explorer. Here is the problem. If i select one file and use the standard OPEN context menu all is well, but if i select two or more files and use the standard OPEN context menu it seems to want to run through the code for MY created menu.

• Windows Forms Possibility of Windows authentication in Windows application

  Hi, I have developed Windows form application( C#). I need to authenticate user using Windows Authentication mode. i.e When a user tries to access the developed Windows form application , the windows authentication log on screen should pop up asking for the user credentials ( user name , user password, domain). Our requirement is to use the default windows logon screen which generally pops up to get the user credential instead of the custom developed logon screen. This is similar to Windows authentication in ASP.Net but for Windows form application , Is it possible to authenticate user using Windows authentication mode If so how Hi I have the same problem. Though I have n't found a solution yet , my plan is to check ...Show All

• Visual C++ 1.#INF00

  When I divide two float values sometimes I get 1.#INF00. Does anyone know what this means, infinity I seem to get it sometimes when subtracting 2 float values, but that makes no sense. Does anyone know a fix. Thank You Yes, that's infinity, more precise positive infinite (or course negative infinite has a - in front). You get infinity when the result of an operation falls outside of the range supported for the specific data type. In the case of float the range is aprox. -3.4E38 .. + 3.4E38. You can try to use double which has a range of aprox. -1.7E308 .. 1.7E308. ...Show All

• SQL Server my script not working when the name of a DB has - (the dash character)

• Visual Studio Team System Checking buttons on webpage

  Hi, is it possible to check for .gif or buttons on a webpage after recording by adding some validation controls . Please help In this case, you'll need to use the Match Attribute Name and Match Attribute Value properties on the validation rule. These properties are used to differentiate between multiple tags. In your example, I'd add MatchAttributeName=name and MatchAttributeValue=dgrMessages$ctl01$ctl01 to match the Exclamation image button. Josh ...Show All

• Visual C# using an Observer Design Pattern with a reference property

  Hi, I was wondering if anyone who has used the Observer Design Pattern with a container of observers knows how to notify when there was a change to a Reference type Property's property. I have searched all over online, but all I can find is when the Property is of a Value Type. For example, check out my "TODO's" in the following code below: class Wheel {    private double _diameter;    private double _width;    public double Diameter    {      get { return _diameter; }      set      {        _diameter = value;               // TO DO: How do I say that ...Show All

• Visual Basic Using panel in a custom control

  For my project I'm designing a custom control. It contains a title (as a link), a checkbox and a panel. When the title is clicked, the control is minimized to just one line, only displaying the title and the checkbox. When clicked again, the control resizes to its original size, also displaying the panel and its contents. My problem is: when I build this control, add it to a form and try to add controls onto the panel, these controls are not on the panel, but on the form. When the panel is hidden, the controls remain visible. But off course these controls should also hide, when the panel is hidden. Currently I am using Visual Basic .NET 2003, while 2005 is not supplied by the company I work for. Wellproc, ...Show All

• Visual C++ Regarding the warning C4100: 'dwParam3' : unreferenced formal parameter

  Hi, I am getting the following warning while compiling the vc++ code in visual studio 2005. anyone know how to solve this warning . Thanks, Ganesh I think you can simply remove or comment the name of the parameter. For example, instead of void MyFunction( int x, int y, int dwParam3 ) { . . . } use void MyFunction( int x, int y, int /* dwParam3 */ ) { . . . } Alternatively, if possible, remove the parameter entirely: void MyFunction( int x, int y) { . . . } I hope this help. ...Show All
