    - System.Windows.Forms.Message in C# I've often wondered why SendMessage and PostMessage are not supported within a .NET assembly. This PInvoke isn't too bad, but it would have been more convenient just to use a method in Message. Does anyone know the reason why the .NET Framework dudes didn't support SendMessage Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects EULAs, Passwords, QuckLaunch and MSIs Windows Forms

    - Windows Form Designer and the 'Do not modify... warning Just make suer that you don't close the code window after your edits. Try to open the design view of the form, and then run the program to see if your changes have had any other effects. If something doesn't work properly, then just switch back to the code view, and hold Ctrl-Z until things work again :) If you want an easier way to track down the lines to change, just remove the declaration line, and then use the error window (double-click on the errors) to find the other lines that you have to remove. If you want to be really safe, just take an full backup of your project directory before you start.

    - selecting text in a text box hi, No you can not. But if you put it into a panel that is collapsable, you can simulate this behaviour. Ps. Collapsable panels are not standard controls of .NET framework. So you might need to create one yourself or buy a thrid party control.

    - printing labels from Windows Forms.. Hi all, Is it possible to use GDI+ namespaces (System.Drawing, etc.) to draw out the form, use variables for the text, and print from there Something like below.. Code Block public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); Graphics dc = this .CreateGraphics(); this .Show(); Pen bluePen = new Pen ( Color .Blue, 3); dc.DrawRectangle(bluePen, 0, 0, 50, 50); } Thanks all, Michael.

    - Multi language help please hi It seems that there is a bug related to the resource manager: http://dotgnu.org/pipermail/pnet-developers/2003-December/000844.html The reasons are: 1) ResourceManager uses CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, but it should use CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture instead. 2) The CultureInfo.CurrentCulture and CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture getters should make an indirection to the Thread. So, the problem is that while the Thread now has the correct culture, the Resource manager does not update the values on the screen what you could do is the following: - add a label to the previous example - add a private ResourceManager to your form private ResourceManager _resourceManager = new ResourceManager("rmc", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()); - create a satellite assembly as described here: http://www.codeguru.com/vb/gen/vb_misc/multi-languagesupport/article.php/c5601/ - add the following method to your form private void Localize(){ this.label1.Text = _resourceManager.GetString(keyOftheLabel); } - update the method to set the correct value CultureInfo selected = ( CultureInfo )comboBox1.SelectedItem; if (selected != null ) { Thread .CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = selected; Localize(); } - see also: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.resources.resourcemanager.aspx Hope this helps you out Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects EULAs, Passwords, QuckLaunch and MSIs Windows Forms

    - Invisble checkbox in datagridview You can use it in DataGridView CellFormatting Event. For instance: Code Snippet private void dgvTest1_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e) { if (dgvTest1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name.Equals("MyCheckBoxColumn")) { //Check the value for the adjacent column and put the Checkbox accordingly. DataGridViewCell gvuCell = dgvTest1[2, e.RowIndex]; //2 = Third column string stringValue = gvuCell.Value.ToString(); switch (stringValue) { case "Yes": //Yes Put the CheckBox. dgvTest1[2, e.RowIndex] = new DataGridViewCheckBoxCell() break; case "No": //Do nothing. //dgvTest1[2, e.RowIndex] = new DataGridViewCheckBoxCell() break; } } } Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects EULAs, Passwords, QuckLaunch and MSIs Windows Forms

    - Looking for best approach for MSMoney Look-A-Like [VB] If you're familiar with MS Money; I am developing an application that has the look and feel of Money but different functionality. How do they do it or what is the best approach. I've read several ideas, but before I start I wanted to get additional feedback: The concept: A Customer button that opens a customer "home" page with customer specific tasks located in the spine with the results displayed in the window to the right. A Reports button that opens a Reports "home" page, again functioning the same as above. There will be several of this "pages"... I've thought of using the MDI/Child approach but the number of panes used in each group became difficult to manage. I've thought of the SDI approach, but again, the number of panes was way to complex to manage and the performance wasn't great. So, the latest I've heard and I think I would like to understand better is creating individual controls (Customers, Contacts, Reports, etc...) Then each of these controls would consist of several panes based upon the options available in the spines of each component. Does any of this make sense Any help/ideas is appreciated.

I can't stand to have dirty resources in the background of my application. I can't stand it either and I've rebuilt my forms several times too. That's part of what encouraged me to finally install a repository, actually, because I lost a very complex form once that took a day to rebuild and I didn't want to lose that kind of time ever again.

    - Minimize MDI child forms Hi, Krunal The build-in support for this is: Code Block foreach (Form frm in this.MdiChildren) { frm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized; } Anything beyond it need you do some work. For example you can build a custom control that has the ability to manage child windows. Also maybe you need to build a framework for it just like Tabbed Windows .

    - BUG: TabPage not resizing/repainting properly Hi Thanks for the quick reply. However doing a refresh in the panel resize event does nothing here. Doing a refresh in the tabcontrol resize event does repaint the background but leaves a dark vertical line where the inner side of the unpainted area was. Doing a refresh in the tabpage resize event does repaint but the area that repaints flickers badly. i'm using vs2005 with sp1 on winxp sp2 on a core 2 duo if that helps anyone.

    - Programmatically Changing Control Properties I am assuming that by "input" you are talking about a TextBox control, and for the "text" you mean a Label control. You can use the Tag property to store any object you need to associate with a control. Then you can use code like this to do what you want: Code Snippet private void Form1_Load( object sender, EventArgs e) { // associate the text with the input control textBox1.Tag = label1; } private void button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { foreach ( Control ctrl in this .Controls) { if (ctrl is TextBox ) { Label lb = ctrl.Tag as Label ; lb.ForeColor = Color .Red; } } } Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects EULAs, Passwords, QuckLaunch and MSIs Windows Forms

    - AutoScroll question Sorry, it's confusing to me what you're trying to accomplish and why you would use two panels. Just set the AutoScrollMinSize property to a value larger than the UserControl's size and the scrollbars will automatically appear. If you are using the Paint event to render your "virtual objects", offset the coordinates of those objects by AutoScrollPosition. And write a Scroll event handler that just calls Invalidate() to force the control to repaint itself when the user uses the scroll bars. Here's a simple example: public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl { public UserControl1() { InitializeComponent(); this.AutoScroll = true; this.AutoScrollMinSize = new Size(2 * this.Width, 2 * this.Height); this.Scroll += RepaintOnScroll; this.Paint += PaintSample; } private void PaintSample(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) { Point p1 = new Point(0, 0); Point p2 = new Point(this.Width, this.Width); p1.Offset(this.AutoScrollPosition); p2.Offset(this.AutoScrollPosition); e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Black, p1, p2); } private void RepaintOnScroll(object sender, ScrollEventArgs e) { this.Invalidate(); } } Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects EULAs, Passwords, QuckLaunch and MSIs Windows Forms

    - Two Binding Navigators on a Single Form? Hello. I've been trying to create a tiny application which will access a certain MS Access database and supply interfaces for editing and viewing the data on it. I attempted to use a tabbed interface for no particular reason. Every tab will contain text fields and other input tools to recieve or view data of a particular table. I add my data source, change the table to 'Details', change the fields to what I want them to be where text fields would be cumbersome, and finally drag it to the first tab. The DataSet, BindingSource, TableAdapter and BindingNavigator are successfully added to the form and the fields are visible. After making the necessary formatting changes, I loaded the other tab, and attempted to do the same things for another table. Here is the problem: A Binding Navigator did not appear this time. The fields and labels successfully appear and the related code is added to the designer, however without a Binding Navigator they are useless. I am using .NET 2.0, and Visual Basic Express. The cause of this problem seems to be trying to use more than one table on a single form. Will I have to give up on the tabbed interface and use buttons (or a similar interface) to switch forms instead, or is there a workaround which does not involve coding in a BindingNavigator manually I will, if I must, however I'd like to see a tutorial on applying a BindingNavigator if that is your suggestion.

Hi,

I'd like to know, is it possible to:

a) Password Protect MSI Applications

b)Can you add EULAs & information before/after the installation

c)Can you allow the user to dictate whether the installer can or can't put a Quick Launch/Desktop shortcut and a Start Menu folder

Thanks,

Eragon.

For a) and b) look at the user interface - you can add a few extra dialogs, one of which is license agreement, and another contains a CD key.

For c), no.

Hi,

Thanks, most of that worked, I got all the dialogues to appear, but the CD Key page only had the UserName and Organisation. How do I get a textbox to ask for the CD-Key and a valid name
