I have another question for the second part of my function, the one that will be placed on TabPage2:
How could I build a list with the Windows fonts in order to populate a popup list in order to select de one I want ?
I'm trying to design a windows form application. By default, .NET had put Tahome 8,25 on toolbar and Microsoft SansSerif 8,25 on everything else. To improve general look and feel of the forms I'd like to change them.
Which font family should I use as a default? And what size should they be?
For:
Classic data input form (label + textbox, label + combobox...)
Data grid
Is there any recommended way?
Application is a classic business app, you can think of it as an accounting type.
I'm working on a Windows Forms Application. I use a Label with a special font I selected. I would like to see this font on another Windows system where the font doesn't installed. So, how can I build-in my font to the application?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to find a method of listing all fonts installed on a system. I attempted to use the InstalledFontsCollection, but it doesn't seem to list all of the fonts. I am not going to use the fonts. I just need to verify that the fonts exist on the system so that I can pass them to an external tool that does see and use the fonts.
Dim missingFonts As String = ""
Dim prefFileName As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(prefFilePath)

I have a ToolStripCombBox that loads a font selection. For whatever reason I can't get it to load the SelectedItem (even though I know it's there).It's probably something very simple, but I have been over this for days now. Other Comboxes work without any issue whatsoever, so I'm guessing it relates to fonts!Here is the ComboBox

View 2 Replieshow to set the value of the text that is displayed for each item of a list control, such as a checkbox list, but really this applies to most list controls, not just the checklistbox control.
I have a checklistbox control,
Friend WithEvents clstTasks As System.Windows.Forms.CheckedListBox
that I usually want to populate with a list of task names. I call the add method to add a Task object to the list. I know that if I override the ToString method, whatever value is returned by that function will be displayed as the text for the list item.
However, in rare situations, I want to display something else other than just the name. For example, perhaps I want to display the name and the value of another property, such as the value of the Boolean property "Optional" shown in parenthesis following the name.
The best that I can think of is to define a property which is set in the GUI layer and then used by the ToString function to determine how it should behave when called. If the controlling property is set to one value, the ToString will return the Name, else it will return the Name followed by the value of the Optional flag. This seems a little disjoint a kludged to me.
The other alternative which seems a little overkill is to define a new class which inherits from Task, for example TaskOptional, which overrides the Tostring method on the base class. In this subclass, the ToString function would return the Name/Optional flag value. However, this, too, seems a little nuts to have to come up with a new class just to modify how the text is being displayed in the presentation layer. I feel that I should be able to control this in the presentation layer without changing the business object or creating a new derived object.
What is the best way to accomplish this?

I am working on process for validating documents to make sure that they meet corporate standards. One of the steps is to make sure that the Word document does not use non-approved fonts.I have the following stub of code, which works:

I'm kind of shooting in the dark here - searches don't seem to be productive on this. I want to create a .NET program to monitor the install and uninstall of fonts. If something is installed or uninstalled, I want to run a program to do something.
I thought maybe a Windows Service, but haven't gotten very far with figuring out how to monitor fonts. Is this the right way and if so, what am I overlooking? If not, is there a different way to do this?

I have the requirement to create an application that has multiple front ends developed using Windows Forms, WPF, ASP and Compact Framework Mobile Forms.I would like to be able to create a series of obejct representing the business logic and have this logic accessible from the various front ends available. My first thought was to use remoting as I'd like to be able to pass the business objects back and forth between client and server but the compact framework doesn't support remoting and also transferring a full framework business object to a compact framework business object doesn't seem possible.My next thought was to use web services but again the passing of business objects seems to be very hard to accomplish. Without doing this I would have to create individual web methods for each business operation.
Finally my next option is to use sockets and write the whole client/server logic within some classes and expose them to the UI/Business layer. My only problem with this is it is not scaleable should the number of clients increase dramatically whereas using remoting or web services I can host the solution via ASP.Net.Does anybody have an ideas on the best way forward for this or even have any input on how they would write an application that required a windows form, wpf, asp website and mobile device GUI all of which want to use the same business logic?
I would like to know if its possible to start up a second windows forms inside the parent form. Ex: A button is pressed and a new form is showed. I would like to keep that new form inside the parent form, and have it not be able to go outside the parent form.

View 1 RepliesI have a problem with scroll in a treeview in a Windows forms application (Framework version 3.5).
The strange thing about the problem is that on Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 the scroll works as excepted, but in Windows Server 2003 SP2 the scrolling doesn't work. Enable/disable Visual Styles doesn't seem to make a difference on Server 2003.
Steps to reproduce the error:
1. Add a treeview to a form and add x nr of root items (and 1 sub item to each item).
2. Expand a number of nodes. The non-standard thing here is that we are changing the node integral height because we display a usercontrol with the treenode (See example of the code below).
3. When you scroll afterwards, you cannot scroll to the bottom node. The scrollbar is all the way down, but we are not seeing the last node.

I was playing a game recently and saw that they could use args in the shortcut, and I decided to try to impliment this into my application...so far, I got: (runs this sub on load)
Sub startup_args()
If Environment.GetCommandLineArgs.Contains("+game") Then
Dim path As Array = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs
[code]....
just to see what it returns, but the application crashes. I also tried path.tostring(), but that didn't work. When I did:
If Evnironment.GetCommandLineArgs.Contains("+game") Then
Dim path as string = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs.tostring
MsgBox(path)

but that returned the value "SString.Array[]"...

View 3 RepliesI noticed that adding a MenuStrip (from the Toolbox) to my form design doesn't yield a menu bar like many native Windows applications. Instead I get a menu bar like Visual Studio's own. None of the style settings for MenuStrip appear to mimic the much more common native menu bar.Is there a way to add a menu bar to my Windows Forms application that looks the same as the one you see in Notepad, Task Manager and others? (Preferably with the designer, but I wouldn't mind adding it programmatically either.)
