    - Load MHT files open as stream/string in WebBrowser contol I'm trying to load an MHT file to a WebBrowser control from a stream. If I use the Navigate method, there's no problem. However, if I use the DocumentStream property it doesn't load correctly. Is there any way to load it directly from a stream, without saving a temp file on disk I tried: WebBrowser1.DocumentText = global::TestProject.MyResourceFile.MHTFileName; But it's print the content of the file as if I opened it in Notepad Thanks in advance for any help given.

    - Localization using .resx or Database Hi I am looking in to writing a c# application in .NET 3.0 and localization has been highlighted as an issue. I haven't really written a localized app but I am aware of using resources and dotnets ability to choose the correct localized assembly when required. However, someone has suggested to me they would like to use a database in order to provide the localized strings. My first thought though would have been to use .NET resources. I can see the db approach would be more accessable to someone who didn't have any kind of resx editing tool (if there is such a thing), but I see that there is more to localization than just providing translated strings. Because of these conflicts of interest I wanted to ask everyones opinion: Is there a best practice doc anywhere Has anyone localized an app using a database to provide the string and run in to problems Are there tools out there to allow a non dev to manipulate .resx files when localizing Any finally, the big question would have to be; does the current localization recommendation change if I target WPF Regards Graham Tag: Windows Forms Designer How do I choose an event from a control using the designer (c#) Windows Forms

    - Change second form's selected tabPage in tabControl Hello, Any advice or suggestions are appreciated! I'm trying to change the selected tabPage in a tabControl in a second form depending on an option chosen in the main form. So far, I have this in the main form (and tabControlDetail is on the frmDetail form): frmDetail myForm = new frmDetail (); myForm.SelectNextControl( TabPage ); ... I know--not much. The tabControl.tabPage property doesn't appear in anything I've tried so far. I'd like to do something like: myForm.tabControlDetail.SelectedTabPage(1) where 1 (or n) is the selected tabPage.

    - updating window in multithreaded app okay im making a mesh viewer for my engine in c#. Now my engine runs in a window, parented to a window in my c# application. My engine runs in its own thread started by my c# application. When i've finished rendering i tell opengl to swap buffers, which would normally display the contents to window, however in my c# appliation it does not update the window. How ever, if i put a call to my engine's render function in the windows paint method, it will be displayed, but only when i resize the window. Any ideas how to get the window updated each frame in my seperate engine thread edit: okay i made some progress, i now open a thread which invalidates the window then sleeps for 20ms. This seems to work nicely. Is it the best way to go about it Tag: Windows Forms Designer How do I choose an event from a control using the designer (c#) Windows Forms

    - Determining when a bound business objects, or any of its children, have changed I have one main business object in an application, which is a container for various other business objects, themselves container other business objects. It is bound throughout various aspects of the user interface using a BindingSource and its Current property. The object can then be "processed" so to speak, any number of times. I would like to be able to tell if the object has changed in between successive processes. I have looked at these various options: 1. Since all my business objects implement INotifyPropertyChanged, I added a dirty flag in each object that gets set when a property changes. The problem is I have no way for this to be reflected to the parent object, and eventually my main object. 2. Event handlers for BindingSource::CurrentItemChanged. However this only detects changes based on the CurrentChanged event or when properties of the CurrentItem change, so it won't detect changes to child objects. 3. CurrencyManager::ItemChanged event. Get the CurrencyManager via the BindingContext for my BindingSource and attach handlers for the ItemChanged event. Again it seems to only detect changes to the parent object and not children.

    - how to trigger BindingCompleteState.DataError Hello, the BindingCompleteState that comes with a BindingComplete event has three possible values: Success, Exception, and DataError. The former two are quite clear. However, I have no clue under which circumstances the latter - DataError - could occur. If there is any chance to make use of it in the context of validation and data binding, particularly to custom object datasources, I would be very happy to learn how.

    - BindingNavigator disappears from Container UserControl at Design Time Hi, I have made a Container UserControl (with "ParentControlDesigner" attribute "trick") with a BindingNavigator inside it (when the UserControl is dropped over a form, the BindingNavigator appears semi-transparent). When I put that usercontrol on a form and drop some controls inside it, it shows properly. After the first run, the BindingNavigator control disappears from the UserControl at Design Time. Only the dropped controls are shown. The BindingNavigator reappears if I close de form designer e reopen it.

    - How to avoid loops with handlers? I have a form with two comboboxes, only one is allowed to be filled when saving the form. So I have an on index changed handler on both the comboboxes. When combobox1 is changed Combobox 2 -> combobox2.SelectedIndex = -1 When combobox2 is changed Combobox 1 -> combobox1.SelectedIndex = -1 However, this creates a loop which results in both comboboxes beiing empty, because changing one combobox fires the event to empty the other as well.

    - Need Help With SendKey Function Hi All, I am a new Visual Studios user and new C# programmer. Currently I am trying to figure out a way to automate a program install (hitting Next buttons, and then Finish basically) by the way of SendKeys, but I am running into problems. Right the program brings the install window to the foreground and sometimes sends the Enter key correctly. Not really sure why it only works sometimes, other times it does nothing. The big problem is that after the Enter key is sent it moves onto the next part of the installation, and none of my further keys get sent correctly. I thought it was a timing problem so I tried to insert a for loop in order to delay the code execution for a bit...didn't work either. Here is my code so far: Code Snippet using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Drawing; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace SimulateKeyPress { class Form1 : Form { private Button button1 = new Button (); [ STAThread ] public static void Main() { Application .EnableVisualStyles(); Application .Run( new Form1 ()); } public Form1() { button1.Location = new Point (10, 10); button1.TabIndex = 0; button1.Text = "Click to Automate Install" ; button1.AutoSize = true ; button1.Click += new EventHandler (button1_Click); this .DoubleClick += new EventHandler (Form1_DoubleClick); this .Controls.Add(button1); } // Get a handle to an application window. [ DllImport ( "USER32.DLL" )] public static extern IntPtr FindWindow( string lpClassName, string lpWindowName); // Activate an application window. [ DllImport ( "USER32.DLL" )] public static extern bool SetForegroundWindow( IntPtr hWnd); // Send a series of key presses to the Install application. private void button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { // Get a handle to the Install application. The window class // and window name were obtained using the Spy++ tool. IntPtr InstallHandle = FindWindow( "InstallShield_Win" , "CYMDIST 4.5 Rev 15" ); // Verify that Calculator is a running process. if (InstallHandle == IntPtr .Zero) { MessageBox .Show( "Calculator is not running." ); return ; } //SetForegroundWindow(InstallHandle); IntPtr InstallHandle2 = FindWindow( "#32770" , "CYMDIST 4.5 Rev 15" ); // Make Install the foreground application and send it // a set of instructions. SetForegroundWindow(InstallHandle2); //SendKeys.SendWait("{TAB}"); SendKeys .SendWait( "~" ); for ( int i = 0; i == 100000000; i++); SendKeys .SendWait( "~" ); SendKeys.SendWait("~"); } // Send a key to the button when the user double-clicks anywhere // on the form. private void Form1_DoubleClick( object sender, EventArgs e) { // Send the enter key to the button, which raises the click // event for the button. This works because the tab stop of // the button is 0. SendKeys .Send( "{ENTER}" ); } } } Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    - DotNetrix question This question should be addressed directly to Mick Doherty, a great guy who helped me to set custom tabPage control in motion. Mick hi, Your tabControl has been doing quite well in my major application. 6 weeks ago I had to switch to Vista and that caused innumerable problems in various areas but your TabControlDontNetrix survived the transition unscathed. A few days ago I decided to set up another project with a form and a tabControl in it. I copied your entire class and the dll file and opened the form. Some strange things happened. The tabs themselves are colored. If you remember (I had a long thread running in this forum a few months ago) the fact that the tabs were gray with MS tabControl caused me to seek help in the first place. Thus, in this new form, the tabs are fine but the pages themselved are blank (white). They do not have any background color at all. In other words the BackColor does not spread on to them. It is quite weird. Also, if you remember, I was first surprised that the tabs were separated (padded) by spaces and I spent some time trying to bring them closer together. That failed, I came to terms with the separation and has come to like it as a matter of fact. Now, in this new form the tabs are as close together as any in MS tabControl. Could you believe it I don't know what to make of it. Your tabControl has made my life much easier because it is better visually in terms of selection and grasping the situation but I cannot afford to spend much time studying it in depth and trying to figure out why this happens. So, if you have any insight into this strange dichotomy: the same class behaves differently in two different projects, please, suggest a solution or perhaps an avenue where I could tinker a few lines of code. Many thanks. Tag: Windows Forms Designer How do I choose an event from a control using the designer (c#) Windows Forms

Surely you don't have to write a whole bunch of event handlers (cellclick, keydown, etc) and dynamically change the focus to the one columns cell you allow to select. Can anyone help me with this - even microsoft access has the ability to not allow selection of a particular column cell. Thanks in advance, Grant.

KhRo

Hi all.
Probably this question was already answered or it's increadibly easy to answer. But I'm turning crazy, because I can't find how to do this using c#. With vb.Net I simply double click a control, the "default" event appeared on code view, and then I can choose from the comboBox in Visual Studio the event I need. But in using c# it doesn't seem to work this way. There's got to be the list of the events that can be handled somewhere in Visual Studio (c#), I just can't find it.
Please help!!!

Thanks a lot.

Re: Windows Forms Designer How do I choose an event from a control using the designer (c#)

Peter Ritchie

Right click the control and select Properties to ensure the properties pane is visible. On that pane there is a events button (looks like a lightening bolt) press that to show the possible events for the selected control. Double-clicking an event will add/edit it.
