So I've created a custom ListView by inheriting it and overriding the OnDrawSubItem(). I can now draw icons in several of the columns. It's pretty nice! My question is, is there anyway to do this for the ListViewGroup? I'd like to place an icon just before the group text.

I have a Custom Groupbox that overrides the OnPaint event to do some custom drawing, backgrounds, etc. The problem I have is that when I use it in an application and want to draw text on the control, it gets drawn first, then immediately afterwards the OnPaint from the control gets called and draws on top of the text. Is there any way to get the text drawn after the control's OnPaint?
View 5 RepliesI created an application in VS2005 that draws text with a custom font and color. The images look great from my XP machine. But from another machine running Windows Vista, the graphics are messed up. It seems that the transparencies inherit the default black background so there's this gray'ish/black haze around the text...

I am working on a snake game for my portfolio and was wondering where the best place to put the logic for drawing the snake. Should the code reside within the snake object or within the form? Either would work, but I am wondering from a business objects/coding standard perspective where such code belongs.

I am a bit lost in concept how to implement what i want to do. I have a gridview, a checkboxlist. I bind the gridview on the page_load. Everytime user choose a checkboxlist, the gridview rebind as well. I have something like this now. This is not the actual code. Thanks so much.
[Code]....
So what do i put here in order to allow paging ? basically, I have 2 datatables in the above example. In the actual code, I have about 5 datatables with 4 checkboxlists. I can't use Datasource control. I need to do it in codebehind as all code already exists.
I have a asp.net placeholder which gets populated with many custom controls, each custom control is a summary of a location containing various facts and interactions. When directly populating the placeholder with the controls they get added one under another down the page. I'm trying to find a way to place each custom control generated in a loop in its own tab (any sort of tab, asp.net/jquery ui etc) so that the user can select the summary they wish to view instead of having to scroll down the page to find it. (I'm using ASP.NET and VB.NET)
