• Windows Forms Can't override ProgressBar OnPaint

  I'm trying to create a custom control extending the ProgressBar. I want to draw the Value property on the surface of the control but overriding OnPaint does not work. In fact I discovered that OnPaint isn't even called during execution. Is it because ProgressBar is one of that classes which does not use OnPaint How can I get what I want without inheriting from Control or UserControl Thank you. At code project I found exactly what I was looking for. Do you know other sites with free reusable controls like codeproject I already searched but found a lot of sites with useless or shareware stuff. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Control.FindForm() returning null

  Does anyone know the situtions where Control.FindForm() would return null In particular, I'm looking for the form containing a button. This button is in a groupbox on a control derived from UserControl. There are several nested user controls, and there is class derived from Form containing them. I wrote this little ditty to try and work around the problem, it makes much progress, but does not accomplish the goal: /// <summary> /// recursively search for the parent form of a control /// </summary> /// <param name="c">control whose form you desire </param> protected static Form FindForm(Control c) { if (c.FindForm() != null) return c.FindForm(); else ...Show All
