When I drag a label control from toolbox to form, default autosize is true. I need to change to false every time. (I do not like true). How to make default value as false as default value?
View 1 RepliesFrom what I can tell, the main purpose of a PagedDataSource is to allow paging of a datasource before being bound to a server control.
If this is the main purpose of this control, why is the AllowPaging attribute's default value False?
I'm only asking as often I will forget to set this as True causing confusion when it doesn't work.
In VB6, you can set the Default property of a command button to True / False, and when you push the enter key, it will click the button for you.
What property is this in VBNet / C#?
I have a graphics application that uses graphics paths. Code seen below. You can use keyboard characters to display information. When a label is set to visible = false after being turned on for a number of seconds a stray image is generated. The stray images are also sometimes generated when the label is first made visible.
' points p10b, p2b etc are defined elsewhere
Dim GrpPoints As PointF() = {p10b, p2b, p3b, p11b, p5b, p6b, p12b}
GrPath = New GraphicsPath ' 7 path points
GrPath.AddBeziers(GrpPoints)
[code]....
I tried stopping the code from running when the label is set to visible = false but the stray image is still generated but just later. If you want more information let me know.The white arrows points to the stray image that is created just after a label that displayed information was set to visible = false
Is there anyway to set Specific version to false so that references are not tied to old version numbers, we have a rolling release and trying to remember to set these every time you add a library is a real pain in the.
View 2 RepliesI'm having problem to get the Form.Activated (and .Deactivated for that matter) events to trigger for a Form with Form.TopLevel=False.
The reason why the form is TopLevel=False is because I need to put it in a tabcontrol.
Is there any other ways to detect when the Form is entered/activated?
The BackColor of the forms in Visual Studio are a light grey, called Control in the Properties panel. How would I set the BackColor property of a Label to this default color?
View 4 RepliesWhen you add a label from the the toolbox, the default font is always Microsoft Sans Serif, Regular, 8. I like to use Ariel as my font of choice. Is there a way to change the default font setting so I don't have to pick the font I want every time? I've looked under Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors and I can't find it there.

View 8 RepliesIs it possible to autosize a webbrowser control? I mean I want it to be just big enough to show whatever HTML content I load into it (without scrolling), and no talller.
Or, alternatively, how do I find the height of a given HTML document? Once I do that, setting the height of the Web Browser is easy.
I have been looking through the MSDN library at the maskedtextbox documentation. It says that the maskedtextbox has a autosize property which i cant see in the properties window in VS2010, and nor can i see it in the intellisense window that pops up when I try to write MaskedTextBox1.AutoSize. I really need to be able to change the size of the maskedtextbox.

View 3 RepliesIs there a way to autosize or multiline columns in a datagridview? I am dynamically setting datasources to this datagrid as required.
View 1 RepliesI have datagridview with some columns that the user can hide or show using a contextmenu. Below that I have some textboxes inside a tablelayoutpanel which the user can write into to filter the data in the datagridview.
But if the user hides a column in the datagridview, I want the textbox below to disappear as well and the other textboxes automatically take up the empty space.
I made some screenshots so you will be able to understand it better:
When the user hides the column:
The column named "Totaal prijs" has now gone and so has the corresponding textbox below. But the columns in the datagridview now stretch nicely to take up the free space. How can I do the same with the textboxes?

View 1 RepliesI am using Visual Studio 2008 and VB.NET. I've got a listview control on my form and I've added columns using the windows forms designer. As you know, if you double-click on the sizer or divider or whatever you want to call it between two columns, the column on the left will autosize (unless you disable that). How can I catch this specific event? The ColumnWidthChanged event and the DoubleClick event are likely candidates, but in the ColumnWidthChanged event, there's no way I can see to determine if it was an autosize. Similarly, there's no simple way to catch what was clicked exactly with the DoubleClick event. how I can catch this specific event type?
View 1 RepliesI have a form that runs a report to pull info. (Not sure if this is even the correct subforum to put this on)And what this query is supposed to do pull info from combo box based on the start and ending numbers of orders for customers, but what I want to do is default the ending number to be what the starting number was as soon as the starting number is entered, but allow the user to change that if they want. I just want to make sure that it has a value. I tried to set the field to required, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick.
View 1 RepliesI have a Parent form and a child form. I have set the child form as sizable, autosize to true, autosizemode to Grow and Shrink and windowsstate at max. The child properly maximizes on when loaded but does not resize with the parent. Here is the initial code to load the child...

I am building a data entry form. I have code that runs when the 'submit' button is clicked to check that all required fields are populated; if not, the missing fields are hilighted in red:
Sub validatefields()
saveOK = True
If Trim(Me.cmbBillCat.Text) = "" Then
saveOK = False
Me.cmbBillCat.Appearance.BackColor = Color.Tomato
End If
My problem arises when I want to reset the color back to normal. In my form when you click Cancel or move to a new record, all fields are disabled (set to read only) until the 'Edit' button is clicked. Visually this is represented by the field backgrounds being gray. VB.Net automatically changes the text box/combo boxes backcolor to gray when I disable them. However, once I have explicitly changed a control's backcolor, thereafter disabling it does not change its color to gray.
[Code]...
I have tried changing the backcolor to System.Drawing.SystemColors.Window, but the problem is the same. The control whose color has been changed is disabled (won't accept entry) but the backcolor remains white, no matter how many times DisableFields() is issued.
I believe one or more versions of VB.Net did away with "default instances" for Forms.
1) Was it in the 2003 or 2005 version(s)?
2) With the more recent 2008 and 2010 verions, is it possible to use a template or
change one of the files in the project so that default Form instances are not created?
I was recently looking at some of the other .Vb files in VB.Net 2008 Express Edition.
By the way, just so you know I could install a full version of Visual Studio if need be from;
2203, 2005, 2008 or 2010

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 writing a Windows Forms project and I'd like to know a way to step around 'default instances' of forms. I don't like default instances, they constantly get in my way, and working in a team it's causing some really annoying confusion about the object identity of which form is actual in focus at this moment. This means I need to go threw the entire project (big) and remove ALL references to any 'default instance' of a form. But this is difficult to do as there's no errors or anything, it basically requires me to search for every text of "MyFormType." and then checking if it's accessing a default instance and fix it like that.
It'd be nice if I could just turn it off or something so I could
1) easily find all erroneous lines of code
2) avoid the accidental use of it in the future by anyone on the team
i want to write a program and set it as default to open .txt files so when i double click on a text file that it opens in that program and displays the text into a RichTextBox

When I set a control to "enabled = false", I want the textbox backcolor and forecolor to remain clear and distinct (white and back - respectively). Is there a place in VS 08 where I can define default appearnce for disabled controls? Or is there a beter way to lock control values other than using "enabled", that woulddn't affect apperance?
View 4 RepliesWhile modifying my form, I was suddenly unable to place any of the controls onto the page - i kept getting an error:
"Components cannot be added in localization mode. Select Default in the Language property."
So I set my language to Default...thinking that perhaps it had somehow gotten set to another setting. That seemed to fix it...I could now add controls to the form. Suddenly however, when I run the form, I notice that my new changes aren't there. If I re-set the language property to what it was before setting it to default, I see the form I see when i run it...it's like there's 2 forms.
I want to set the System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog to a default path when I load it up. If I set the selectedpath that works but I have to scroll down to that folder to select another one in it.

View 2 RepliesI have a simple but tricky problem: I have a label inside a container control (form, panel, or whatever). The labels anchor is set to bottom & right, auto-size is set to true and the textalign property is set to middle right. The length of the text changes during runtime. I want to ensure, that the right edge of the label stays sticked to the right edge of its container no matter what the length of the lebels text is. I know I could do that in code, but is there a simple way to do it at the design-time?
