I'm trying to create a button that will hide the panel that I have docked at the centre of my user control. [code]This works to an extent. However, when the bottomPanel is set to Fill it seems to fill the entire control, and not just up to toolStrip1. Can anyone tell me why this is happening, and how to correct it?
View 1 Repliesi frequently have troubles with the dock property. it seems that either the order of creation or adding to the parent control determines whether or not a control's dock property supersedes another's. e.g. a control with the dockstyle fill will overlap with another docked control on the same parent. does anyone know what the rules are to determine how docking will behave; particularly in dynamically created GUIs?

The only problem is that this only works once. When I try to run the ChangeUserAgent() method for the second time it doesn't work. I stays set to the first changed value. This is quite annoying and I've tried everything but it just won't change more than once.

I have created several simply custom controls and I used them in my app. Now, I changed the background color in a custom control class, because I wanted an other color for this type of control. But in my app, the background of this controls didn't change. Why? I assume, I don't need to place again this controls on each forms to get the new background color, or do I? If yes, this is very stupid in my opinion.

If I need access to the value of a user control's property BEFORE PreRender, would I need to base the custom control off of one of the preexisting data controls (repeater, listview,etc.)?One of my user controls features a gridview control that is configured based on the user control's properties on which it resides. Several of the key properties alter the SQL Statement for the underlying recordsource. I'm now in a situation where the property that sets the WHERE statement for the SQL Statement needs to tied to a value in the user control's parent FormView. Think of the formview as displaying a customer detail record. The user control takes the customer's account number and then displays data from a related table such as Customer Contact Names. Since the gridview is created before the control's prerender event, working within the prerender event doesn't seem efficient.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to bind a WinForms TreeView control to some user-defined objects. In particular, I'd like to bind aTreeNode.Text property to myObject.Name. My strategy is to create xTreeNode, a subclass of TreeNode, add a DataBindings collection, and expose its Text property. This would allow me to write some code like this:

bs.DataSource = myObj

I have a basic form with four objects placed on it: a Menustrip(Dock = Top), a ToolStrip(Dock = Top), a SplitContainer(Dock = None) and a StatusStrip(Dock = Bottom). As it is now, the MenuStrip, ToolStrip and StatusStrip are exactly where I want them. The problem occurs when I set the SplitContainer dock property to Fill. I thought it would fill the remaining area but it fills the entire form, you can see the outline of it beneath the menu and status strips. Is there something I'm missing in another property box or is there a different way of doing this? The reason I want to set it to Fill is for autosizing when I resize the form.

I built a VB ASP.NET 1.1 Web User Control that contains several properties. I want these properties to display in the VS2003 IDE Properties window, for easy manipulation. However, none of the properties appear! How do I make them show in the IDE?I am a C# guy, and not very familiar with VB, so this is probably a no-brainer. Here's a property, including attributes:

Public Property PriceHigh() As String

I'd want a text box that at design time the developer can set a datatype property so only a value matching that datatype can be entered at runtime (e.g. If we made the datatype property of a textbox an integer then the user could only enter numbers into that textbox)In additiion I need a further property to replace ".Text". .Text always holds the entered value as a string, I want the new property to contain what has been written into the textbox but as the datatype that has been selected at design time.

View 3 RepliesI have a host page with multiple user controls in it. Some of these controls have a user created property named Enabled, and is boolean.In some controls the default value for Enabled is set to False. In the host page, I am able to access the property and set it to True. The control does what it is supposed to.On this host page there is a "Run Report" button which executes a Server.Transfer to a "Results" page.In the codebehind of the results page, control values from the PreviousPage are checked via other user created Properties for the controls and added to a ParamterList.
I am attempting to check the Enabled property of the controls on the PreviousPage, however when this is done, it appears that the Enabled property is set to that of the default (in this case False), and not what I had set it to on the page when it loaded.Does the value of this property need to be put into a hidden text box or something so its value is available after the ServerTransfer? It seems like any control which contains a value is retrievable via the PreviousPage and its user created property, but any variable set inside of the control is reset back to its default value.

I am using a user control using vb.net. It include the program to retrieve the values from database while giving the paramers. When I set the property from my main program i am getting an error "Invalid attempt to call Read when reader is closed." When i gone to the online help i got the message as follows "System.InvalidOperationException (.NET Framework 4)The exception that is thrown when a method call is invalid for the object's current state. InvalidOperationException is used in cases when the failure to invoke a method is caused by reasons other than invalid arguments. For example, InvalidOperationException is thrown by IEnumerator.MoveNext if objects of a collection are modified after the enumerator is created, or ResourceSet.GetString if the resource set is closed before the method call is made. If the method invocation failure is due to invalid arguments, then ArgumentException or one of its derived classes, ArgumentNullException or ArgumentOutOfRangeException, should be thrown instead.[code]

I am creating a customised version of the ListView control and there are several of the properties that a ListView has that I would like to be set to a different value to the ListView default when a user goes to use my user control.
From what I've found there seems to be a number of people suggesting just set them in the constructor, but to the best of my knowledge that would just mean that the user would not be able to change the properties in the PropertyGrid in the VS IDE.I assume this is probably something extremely simple that I have overlooked.
