    - VB: How to toggle the windowstate (minimize-to-normal) of a borderless form when clicked on the taskbar? Dear Hans, A very useful tip indeed. I want to create child forms in an MDI parent form that have thin borders and are sizeable. Can I make a sizeable window with a thin frame using this window style technique Can we separate the ThickFrame property and the Sizeable properties Why should all sizeable windows have thick frames - we want more choice! Thanks for the neat snippet, Kind regards, Andrew Parsons Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects Find Target and Change Icons buttons are disabled for desktop Shotcut of my application Windows Forms

    - Extended OpenFileDialog Hi everyone, I'm trying to make a custom OpenFileDialog that select files and folders, the original one just returns the selected files even if I select files and folders in the dialog. So my ideia is to make a custom usercontrol to allow the openfiledialog to return both selected files and folders (once the dialog allows selecting folders maybe I can return folders to) This is an ideia but I don't know if this is possible and if is, how to handle the ok button click event. Any help appreciated Cheers Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects Find Target and Change Icons buttons are disabled for desktop Shotcut of my application Windows Forms

    - MDI form - menu of child forms (MdiWindowListItem) - restrict entries ? I would like to restrict the menu of MDI child forms (MdiWindowListItem) to only a subset of the current children. Is it possible for an MDI child form to choose NOT to register itself with the MdiWindowListItem menu Can I manually remove unwanted entries from the menu Or, is my only option to forego the automation of the MdiWindowListItem facility and build the menu myself PS this menu shows, by default, the Text property of the child form - can I set this to anything else Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects Find Target and Change Icons buttons are disabled for desktop Shotcut of my application Windows Forms

    - Saving and restoring Windows form states I'm developing a windows form application which allow users to query the database. When users press the reset button, the windows form will go back to the initial state(resetting all the controls in the windows form to initial state) I've thought of the followings to achieve this 1) Put all the resetting codes inside the reset button event. 2) Use serialization 3) Close the windows form and create a new windows form. But I think there may have some better ways.Can anyone advise me Thanks Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects Find Target and Change Icons buttons are disabled for desktop Shotcut of my application Windows Forms

    - MDI and OutOfMemoryException Hi, I have this code that makes the form as an MDIChild: chartWindowController.GetForm().MdiParent = _expertTradeMainFrm; chartWindowController.GetForm().WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal; chartWindowController.GetForm().Show(); The above code snippet throws exception when Show() is called: Message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." StackTrace " at System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip.CreateHandle()\r\n at System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip.get_Handle()\r\n at System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip.WmWindowPosChanging(Message& m)\r\n at System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip.WndProc(Message& msg)\r\n at System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip.ToolTipNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)\r \n at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.DebuggableCallback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)\r\n at Microsoft.Win32.SafeNativeMethods.MessageBox(HandleRef hWnd, String text, String caption, Int32 type)\r\n at System.Diagnostics.AssertWrapper.ShowMessageBoxAssert(String stackTrace, String message, String detailMessage)\r\n at System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener.Fail(String message, String detailMessage)\r\n at System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener.Fail(String message)\r\n at System.Diagnostics.TraceInternal.Fail(String message) \r\n at System.Diagnostics.Debug.Fail(String message)\r\n at CimsFramework.CimsSecurity.CmsUsrDataSheetSubModule.GetDataEntryInfo() in D:\\CIMS.NET\\CimsFramework\\CimsSecurity.cs:line 4127" But when the same is not a MDIChild then it works fine i.e., if I comment the line chartWindowController.GetForm().MdiParent = _expertTradeMainFrm, then the application works fine. I have Visual Team Edition 2005 for Developers + Windows XP Sp2. Can anyone let me know why this is happening or how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

    - Draw on another display I have an application in which I would like to play a video in full screen on another display. I am able to list all connected display devices using the System.Windows.Forms.Screen class, and I have no problem playing a video in full screen using Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Video. However, I am unable to figure out how to display this on another monitor. I am fully aware that I will likely have to create a form on the second display and play the video from there, but as far as I can tell there is no way to do this from the Screen class.

    - GDI+ button image painting problem I agree with Philip, creating a GraphicsPath from the pixels of the bitmap should be brutally slow, both in creating the path and rendering it with DrawImage(). I assume you're trying to create transparency with this code.

Since this is the only means I know of by which to capture the leaving of a cell being edited so I can validate, I'm stuck.

    - C# How do I keep GroupBoxes seperate? A possible reason why the bottom one may have been controlling the others is that you actually made them contained inside of it. You probably can't drag the group boxes directly to the right location using the mouse. Instead, get it close and then tap the arrow keys to align it exactly (or use some of the alignment tools). That being said, it's still not a very elegant solution. A tab control would probably be my first choice. You can even hide the tabs so it doesn't look like a tab control. See nobugz's post on this thread for an example. Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects Find Target and Change Icons buttons are disabled for desktop Shotcut of my application Windows Forms

Dear All,

I have made a setup of a C# window application in which i create an icon on the desktop. But the problem with this shortcut is that whenever i right click on it & go to property, its Find Target and Change Icon buttons are disabled. The difference that i have observed between other standard applications shortcuts and this one is that its Target Location on the property page is not set which are set for other ones whereas Target property just points to the name of the application.

Please guide me as soon as possible so that i could solve this problem.

Regards,

Wasif Ehsan.

Stefan Krueger

This is a feature of Windows Installer and is called "advertised shortcut". This shortcuts contains information about the product it is pointing to. When you double click it, Windows Installer will check the integrity of the installed application (by checking if all the EXEs and DLLs are there for instance) and automatically repairs them if necessary.

I'm not sure why this is a problem for you If it really is you can turn this off in your setup, by setting the DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS property.
