IDE :: Winforms Designer: Avoid Treeview Node Serialization
Oct 3, 2011
my class inherits from TreeView. In it's constructor, it adds nodes. In the Winforms designer, if I put an instance of the Treeview on the Form, the nodes are visible. That's ok.
I am attempting to update an existing winforms application, that was created with a dataset control on all the winforms pages. I have ported it from VS 2008 to VS 2010 and I need to update the database section and connect it to the SQL backend using traditional code method.In the Solution explorer, when I click on the Dataset files, and click "Exclude From project" I am unable to build the project.Is it advisable to comment out the code lines that refer to the dataset in the .designer.vb files?
I am working with VB.NET and I am facing a problem with XML serialization. When empty values exists in the object I am serializing, the XML file contains the following tags:
<tagName/> instead of: <tagName></tagName>
I know that it's the same, but I want the start tag to close appropriately.
i have a treeview which has a bunch of parent and child nodes preset at design time, there is 1 parent node tho which is called developer, that i want to add child nodes to at runtime.When the form first loads im trying to have it check a text file and for each line in the text file add the text/string from that as a child node tot he 'developer' parent node.
vb Dim reader As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(Application.StartupPath() & "ConfigDevs.txt") Dim strs() As String = Split(reader, Environment.NewLine) For Each s As String In strs
[code]....
Thats what i have so far, how can i set it so 'Dim parentNode As TreeNode = ' points at the 'Developer' node?
Ive recently written a control called a ButtonRow in VB.NET that allows you to dynamically place buttons on it through a typed collection property. The property itself is tagged with the <DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)>. However it works really bad. First of all, whenever you add buttons to it and you delete the controlafterwards, the designer code file still have the buttons declared but without the aButtonRow to who's collection they would be added. Secondly, you cannot copy the controlfrom one form to another. It would just copy the ButtonRow object without the buttons
From a TreeView, I get this XML serialized: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> <node text="<span id='c6f5ab9e-d08f-448a-9143-02d174317c07' oncontextmenu=" SetContextMenu(this.id, event);return false;" >Zürich</span>" value="c6f5ab9e-d08f-448a-9143-02d174317c07" navigateurl="" populateondemand="False" showcheckbox="false" checked="False" expanded="True" selected="False"> [Code] .....
For every form I create, I do the following [code]...
What are my options for avoiding such repetitive actions?
Is there a "best-practice" for such a scenario?
Note: the reason I'm doing changes 1-3 is that the application's GUI is in Hebrew, and the application isn't required to support further localization or internationalization.
i want to add a node just above all removable drives from the thread I asked about in before. I decided that I don't want to have "C:" as a node, instead I just want my program to be the node. I've worked with this before but i can't figure it out without messing up what I already have.
I have a TreeView in my form that I populate manually from a list of items in a database. The descriptions of the TreeView items causes a horizontal scrollbar to be displayed. That is fine except that it seems that this scrollbar hides the item at the bottom of the TreeView. If I expand a tree node the bottom item that was previously hidden will be displayed.
I have a treeview with four levels; parent, child, grandchild, great-grandchild. My selectednode is at the grandchild level. What I'm trying to do is to create a new "Treeview" at the grandchild - NO, I dont wnat to create a new node to the "selectednode" (grandchild). So it should be somelike this:
I have a treeview from which I select a node, then click a button. That button adds the node to a treeview in another form. Now the node is there when I start up the form, but when I close and reopen it, its gone again. How can I keep it in the treeview?Also, how can I name the node, now I use this
I have a treeview in my program that lists all the folders and files in my TV Video collection. The tree lists as follows:
TV Series |___SeriesName
|___SeasonNumber
|___EpisodeName
The problem I am having is that the SeasonNumber node does not sort 'properly' as I would like it.
It sorts like: Season1 Season10 Season2 etc.
Instead of: Season1 Season2... Season9 Season10 etc.
I have tried this: Private Sub scanFilesList() Dim sfilenames() As String = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(folderPath) For Each strFileName As String In sfilenames strFileName = GetFileName(strFileName) tvVideoList.Nodes(n).Nodes.Add(vGroup, strFileName, 2, 2) [Code] ..... As I understand it, this is supposed to sort ascending but it doesn't seem to change anything. I really only need to get the grandchild node sorted 'properly'.
I face a problem finding nodes in a treeviewActually I want to duplicate a node (mynode) in my treeviewSo I want to search all the nodes to find similar nodes and count them and then when I will create the new node I 'll add a number at the end of its name
I am trying to rebuilt the BOM system from an existing BOM application. The table i used was the existing table and cannot be modified as it is contain around 20000 of part no there.What i am going to achieve is the structure view of the BOM using the treeview control. I want it to have as many nodes as the BOM required which different from one to other part no.Here is the structure of the table.
I can't work out how to add nodes to a treeview as a child of a particular identified node.
The treeview.nodes.add function has seven overloaded definitions each of which seem to add it as a child of the root node. I can't find a way to specify the parent.
I've found this article which gives an example
TreeView1.Nodes.Add , , "root", "Root Item" TreeView1.Nodes.Add "root", tvwChild, "child1_root", "Child1 of Root" TreeView1.Nodes.Add "root", tvwChild, "child2_root", "Child2 of Root" TreeView1.Nodes.Add "child1_root", tvwChild, "child1_child1", "Child1 of Child1"
I've seen several similar articles with the same format. However this doesn't work. I get compilation errors. It doesn't match any of the function definitions, and tvwChild is not recognised as a constant.
Just moved from VB.NET to C#.In VB to connect and Event Handler to a Sub we use the Handles clause.From what it seems, this do not exist in C#. After creating a simple application with a button I realize that Window Forms Designer automatically created an EventHandler to my button1_Click function (after I double clicked it), in Form1.Designer.cs with this code:
this.button1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button1_Click);
But, in VB, the WinForms Designer create the Handles clause in my class, in the function header. So, C# create the default EventHandler in designer file, while VB creates in main class where control resides.
I have this code to select first node of TreeView. But when page loads the by default root node is other than first, I want to set the selected node as top most by default. Here is my code in page load but it's not working:
Dim nodes As TreeNodeCollection = TreeView1.Nodes If nodes.Count > 0 Then ' Select the root node TreeView1.SelectedNode = nodes(0) End If
This gives the blue underline error on this line:TreeView1.SelectedNode = nodes(0)
The error is: "Selected Node Property is read Only"
I am now trying to get grandchild nodes in my treeview, i have got everything working, BUT instead of the nodes being put 'IN' the child node they are being put 'BELOW' it.
I have a treeview on my ASP.Net page and for some reason the text on some nodes gets cut off, I am programatically adding all the nodes and am aware of the existing issue listed here: [URL] however I am not changing the font and as you see in the code below this fix does not work for me.
Private Sub populateTreeView() 'Code that gets the data is here Dim ParentIds As List(Of Integer) = New List(Of Integer)
[Code]....
The strange thing is that this issue only appears in IE, I have tested it in chrome and Firefox and both browsers display the text perfectly.
When I select a node this fixes the problem and all text displays as normal.
