I renamed my project by creating an new project folder, copy/pasting the old project files into it and renaming those files. This works good, but now all of the message boxes that come up still display the original project name. How can I edit the text in the message box "header" and make it say something else?

I've created a formregion which is attached to a mail item (through the wizard). so now, whenever I look at a mail item, in the reading pane or when I open it, I can see my form.
How can I get the properties of the mail message I am looking at? for instance:
Who is the sender? what is the subject? when was it sent? etc.

View 3 RepliesIs it possible to change the default properties for different objects in the VB6 IDE (I'm sure any version would be similar, but this is the one we are currently using in my programming class in school). For example, is there anyway that automatically, when I create a Label, that it could already have AutoSize set to false, and BorderStyle to Fixed3D, etc.? I feel as if it would work greatly with the amount of time taken to layout my programs.

View 12 RepliesI may have missed the solution to this problem, but in my database I have 2 columns that cannot be null and a system.NoNullAllowedException message is displayed if they are mt. I want to change this message to simply indicate that the cell cannot be null, instead of the huge message with all of the information which is of no use to the user. I cannot seem to find where to change this message. When the exception is thrown I would like to see the message say something like "Empty cell not allowed".
View 19 RepliesPeople have posted code to drag a borderless form using a Windows Message, both on this forum and in the CodeBank. This method has a drawback: you can't drag the form higher than the top of the screen -- or rather you can, but it immediately flips back again when you release the mouse button. I would like to change that behaviour.
After some time poring over the stream of windows messages, I found that the flip-back occurs whenever there is a WM_CAPTURECHANGED message immediately followed by a WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING. The latter message contains a pointer to a WINDOWPOS Structure in its LParam field. Apparently it is possible to annul the impending change of position by setting the NOMOVE flag of that WINDOWPOS.

1, Is it possible to change the size of the message box because currently the header text of my message box is off the screen.
MessageBox.Show( _
"Click OK to continue", "The following job has been cancelled", MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
So in this case it only shows "The following job has bee" so is it possible to resize my message box so it shows the full length of the header text?
2, I have been using try catch structures in my coding, but in my message box I can't get to add the header text?
Catch ex1 As Exception
MessageBox.Show( _
"Error..." vbCrLf & ex1.ToString)
[Code]...
However the above just displays Error twice within the message box and no header. Also if possible how would I add a messagebox icon with the try catch structure?
I have a dynamic gridview, about 35 rows by 11 columns. When the user hovers over a row, I highlight the row's background in green (with CSS:Hover). I would like to change the column's background as well, but I don't think I can assign css to a entire column. How can I accomplish this?

View 5 RepliesI need a few columns in my datagridview to have the font be aligned to the right, but no matter what code I use it doesnt work.
I would also like my columns with numbers to always have 2 decimals.
And lastly I would like the right side of the column header to be blank and not movable. I can do this by adding another column to my table with a blank name and then set the width to fill, but the problem is I can just move this around, which is not good, I want to freeze it so it looks good. I do want to be able to move around on the other columns, just not this one. Unless there is another way to do that?

View 1 Repliesi've written an app to enumerate forms + controls in a project at runtime:
it lists form names in a listbox + when a control is selected, it lists hierarchical controls in a treeview. by selecting a control in the treeview you can view its properties in a propertygrid.
here's the problem: how can i use the propertygrid to actually persistently change those properties?
at the moment you can change properties in the propertygrid but it doesn't change the control's properties, either persistently or otherwise.
