Making A Component "one Per Form"?
Jul 8, 2010
I'm making a custom Toolbox Component which I want to restrict to one instance per form It's a non-visual component like a Timer, not a control. I am able to enforce the restriction at design time by checking if the Container.Components list already contains a component of the same type.But I want to do something similar when someone adds an instance of the component in code. It's easy in the case of a Control because you can check in Form.Controls. Unfortunately the Controls list doesn't contain non-visual components.

I am converting an old Vb6 solution to .net 2.0 in vs2010. I've been working in C# for about 3 years now and .net for 5. I don't recall having this problem in C#, but if I want initialize a readonly collection of DerivedControlFoo Is there a clean way to do it besides creating a sub to do it all off somewhere else? I'd love to be able to do it at the class level at the declaration for readability and simplicity.

I have 2 forms main_frm and copying_frm. In main_frm, there is a list view that is populated with file names. The user then clicks save and all the files in the list are copied to a folder that they choose using a folder browser dialog. When this happens, I do copying_frm.ShowDialog() to display the copying_frm. The copying_frm contains a progress bar and a cancel button. I can get the progress bar to indicate how much has been copied. But that freezes up the application. To get around this, I create a new thread (called copyingThread) that copies the files. When that thread runs though, it can't access the waitingList_lvw in main_frm. For example, in the function that the copyingThread executes, if I have this line of code: MsgBox(main_frm.waitingList_lvw.Items.Count.ToString()) the result is 0. Also, I don't get any errors and no files are copied. How do I access waitingList_lvw in main_frm from a thread called copyThread that was created in copying_frm?

I'm developing a Component. I'd like to do something when the component is dragged from the toolbox and dropped onto a form. For example display an about box.I don't want to annoy the developer by popping up an about box every time he refreshes his display or reloads the form.

I'm trying to make a Toolbox component which the user can drag onto a form in the VS Designer. The component has to recognize the Form it is on, in order to handle certain Form events. I would prefer to do it without requiring the user to add any code to the form. Does anyone know a way the component can get the identity of the form?

I have developed a Component and I want it to be able to detect when it's running in the IDE.
Or, let me rephrase that - I want my component to be able to detect when its parent form is running in the IDE.
I can use .DesignMode and a few other methods to detect when my component is running in the IDE (For example when my component is placed on a form etc)
But when the parent form is executed from within the IDE then .DesignMode returns false.
Is it possible for a component to detect if its parent (the form) was started via an IDE/Designer ? or via the command line/start menu or what ?

I have an error that keeps regenerating when the form is closed and open back up.
1) Windows Form Application (Project: TestProject)
2) Add class in same project:
Public Class Test : Inherits System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
3) Drag and drop into the form within the project (works fine)
4) Close form
5) Re-open form... then error about the class Test in the project not defined
Actual Error: Type 'TestProject.Test' is not defined.
Is there a best way around this besides creating a separate project and putting the 'Test' class in that separate project and referring that separate project in the 'TestProject'?
Modified Added: By the way... i've used Global.TestProject.Test... but then again another error generate with the custom property within the 'Test' class.

I recently have been developing an application in .net that uses lots of components created as digital/analog input/outputs, and, when each component is clicked shows a form that shows it's state.The problem is that the form allows to change the state of the component and I don't really know how to reflect the change made in the windows to the component variables, as I don't know if there is a way to call the parent from a windows form or any similar way to do it.

(I use VB 2008) I'm working with the webbrowser-component. I got a problem to fill a text-field. The textfield is named "description" but I cant fill it. I guess it's because it's more than one form on the page that got a element named "description".

I've created a component whose name I'd like to be able to change while editing in the component tray. I've added a Designer action for a name property, but now I'm stuck.
Looking at the property grid, I can see that the name property is parenthesised, indicating that it's not a regular property.

I have a component which hooks up with the paint event of assigned control and draws on its surface, Whenever i make any changes to the component i need to resize the form or control at design time in order to see the changes.
I want to ask if there is any other way to refresh the contents of a control at design time which forces it to redraw.

I Have a simple notepad, and a toolstrip, inside the toolstrip, it has an option to find and replace the text in textbox one. I made a new form, inside that project, and named it find. Now how can I make it so that when they click on that toolstrip option it opens that form? Also, will I have any troubles being able to find the text since they are two different forms?
