Error From Custom Control & ToolStrip?
Jan 20, 2007I have created a Custom control, containing 4 masked text boxes.and most times when i build it, i get a error: "InvalidArgument=Value of '-2147483648' is not valid for row position.' What is it? i searched MSDN, it looks like one of the SQL errors. How can this happen, i didn't use SQL.Edit: i fixed this tool strip problem. seems that i put visible to false unknowingly. I also have a problem with my Tool strip. The tool strip on the top works well, but the one i placed in a table layout panel, is missing from view, it only appears in Design view when i select it from the bottom strip.
View 4 RepliesToolStrip On A Databound Form - Toolstrip Buttons Don't Receive Focus In The Normal Way ?
Mar 24, 2009I really want to make use of the toolstrip and databinding but these two technologies keep conflicting with each other. I think the root cause is something to with the fact that the toolstrip buttons don't recieve focus in the normal way.
I invite you to try the following:-
1. Create a form and put some text boxes a tool strip with a save button on it.
2. Write a query or sproc to get a datatable back and bind your text boxes to the field in the datatable.
3. In the code behind your Save ToolStripButton put some code that makes an arbitrary change to a field on the dataset (it doesn't matter whther this field is bound to a text box or not). eg:-
m_DataTable.Rows(0).Item("CommissionRatePerc") = "0.0000"
4. Put a breakpoint in the save and run the form.
5. Make some changes in the text boxes. Do not leave the last text box but rather click save while a text box whose contents you have edited still has focus.
6. When your code hits the breakpoint, query the value of the data table field that is bound to the text box you were editing when you clicked save - it will still contain the unedited value. Unless you do something about it that unedited value is going to get saved back to your DB.
We did get around this problem by explicetely setting the focus to another control on the form before saving. That worked most of the time because it prompts the text box to flush it's value back to the datatable (nb EndEdit does not work, although you'd have expected it to). However, and this is the reason I suggested you add a line of code that changed a value in the underlying datatable in step 3, if you change a value in code in this way before the value from the text box get's flushed back then it doesn't seem to matter what you do, the user's current edit is simply lost. They will still show in the text box, though, leading your user to believe that the change has been committed when it hasn't. Our final solution is that we never ever change a value in the adtaset in the code behind our toolstrip buttons. That's working but it's a pretty big restriction.
Forms :: MonthCalendar Control - Can't Set Colors?
Oct 28, 2010I am using a monthcalendar control in my application to allow a user to select a day from the calendar that will load data for that day. the background is totally white (ugh). there is a backcolor property, but when i set it to say Cyan (yea right), the calendar still displays as white. I also can not set Forecolor, TitleBack/Fore color either.
I have gone to my project properties and turned off the "enable xp visual styles", and that had no effect. turned it back on...cant tell a difference. i am currently on windows 7 running VS2008 Team Edition. It would be really nice to change the look of this control to match the styling of my application.

IDE :: Toolstrip Dialog Objects Do Not Appear In Component Tray In Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional On A Windows 7 System
Oct 5, 2011I am running Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional on a Windows 7 system.While working on a visual basic exercise in chapter 4 of the Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Step by Step book on the MyMenu program I added a Toolstrip to my form and then I was trying to perform the add OpenFileDialog and ColorDialog controls to the component tray as described at the bottom of page 111 under Using Dialog Box Controls. I could never get the controls to appear in the component tray as instructed in the book.
I added a toolstrip to the form. According to my instructions I should be able to click on the Open file icon on the toolstrip to select it and then click anywhere else on the form. When I do that, the OpenFileDialog should appear on the component tray where I can then select it to enter code. This however does not happen.The only way I was able to get them to appear in the component tray was by opening the Menu program supplied on the DVD under chapter 4, selecting both of the above controls on the component tray, right clicking and then press copy. I then closed the Menu program and opened the MyMenu program that I created and then I was able to paste the two object controls to the component tray.
I went back to the original Menu program to see if I was able to place any other controls on the component tray by following the instructions in the book but was not able to. I also tried the same thing with MyMenu and it also still would not work.I have been unable to find anything that might explain why the component tray does not work as explained. Perhaps there is some setting somewhere that needs changed, but all searches have been unsuccessful.
PS. I have entered this on one of the other MicroSoft forums and although it has gotten multiple views I have not yet received any feedback.I also get the following error: Cannot add component of type 'ToolStripButton' to container of type 'form'.

Set Different Colors On Items And Subitems Of Listview Control?
Jul 13, 2011I want to set a color on items and subitems being displayed within the listview control in a detailed view.Using the forecolor property setting would change the color of all the contents in the listview control. All I want is to display different colors on each column of the listview control. If I have four colums on the listview, it should display the contents on each column in a different color. I tried to do it on my own but it was unsuccessful. I'm looking for the exact code to set the color successfully. Currently, the code below is what I have to display the data on the listview. What line of code should I add on the code below to set different colors on items and subitems of the listview?

View 2 RepliesVS 2010 - On Load (Startup) Default State?
Jan 14, 2012I haven't used VB in decades and I'm restarting with what I thought would be a simple program. I have two fields on a little form, both of which display a date (dd/mm/yyyy). Field1 is an entry field except on load where is contains a date calculated from field2 (which is 'now' upon application load). Field1 is 'now' + 10 days. This is the default state.
Once loaded (with the data described above), the user can input only in field1. Field2, an inactive field used only for display, is field1 - 10 days. After 15 seconds, fields 1 and 2 revert to their default states as described in the first paragraph. I'm getting all messed up with the 'on load' state. I'll start playing with the timer once I get the initial stuff done.
