Nevermind- Toolstrip Won't Stay On Top Of A Tabpage
Feb 19, 2010
I have a Tab control and placed a toolstrip bar on a tabpage. It was working fine staying on top of everything else. But now for some reason the toolstrip gets hidden behind the tabpage.The only thing I can think of is make a new toolstrip bar but that will take a ton of time and frustration since I will have to manually redo the toolstrip buttons and labels, ect.. Plus I will have to go through and manually change the codes for each controls event.So is there someway to get the toolstrip to stay on top like it should? I also tried a toolstrip container but that was a no go as well.

I am using System.Windows.Forms.TabPage to store an entire TabPage for later use in My.Settings. Here is a brief description of the application.
I have a TabControl that has 3 tabs. One for user input, another tab for equipment settings, and then a final tab for Oven settings. On the user input tab, if the user de-selects the checkbox for Oven, the oven tab is saved to My.Settings and hidden.
I can then run the application without oven control. After running, lets say the user would like to re-run, this time with the oven. They go back to the input tab and re-select the Oven checkbox. However, the Oven tab doesn't re-appear. When stepping through the code, the is nothing stored in My.Settings for the oven tab page. Why not?
Also, I can open the application, and check, then uncheck the oven checkbox and the tab is hidden, then returns. I can do this all day. However, after running the tab will not return.

I 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.

winforms .net 3.5 Ultrawingrid 9.2 In my subclass of Ultrawingrid.Ultragrid :
[Code]...
This works fine. But when the grid is dropped on a TabControl tabpage, the ctrl-tab looks very different to the sub above. e.keycode is seen as controlkey {17} I realize that by default cntrl-Tab moves between tabpages. I need to override this behavior. My thought is I probably need a subclass of the tabControl which will pass the keycombo through just as the form does but I confess to being clueless as to how to accomplish that. I tried to override the onkeydown of a tabcontrol subclass and just issuing a return and not and base call to onkeydown if the ctrl-tab combo was pressed but it seemed to see the e.keycode as controlkey as well.

I am new to dealing with SQL Express DB tables. I have a Windows application that gives the user a textbox that is bound to a value in my dataset (ds) which reflects my SQL table (Specs) field. The user can change the numeric value of the textbox and I can see by setting breakpoints that it created the new value in my dataset (I used MsgBox(Ds.Specs.Rows(0).Item(10) to determine this to be true). However, when I open the application back up, the OLD value appears again in the text box. It is like my dataset is not updating the SQL server table.
Again, I am new to SQL tables and allowed the wizard to create all my insert/update/delete statements which appear to be in place. Any idea why my values won't stick?

The problem is that the text in page 2 always goes down when text in page 1 is inserted.
My question is: How can i do to make the text in page 2 always stay at the top of the page, and if it haves too, move down one page but always staying at the top.

Basically what it does is - you can mark a section of the screen and it creates a preview window for that section and keeps it on top of all other windows. I want to make a similar thing, for 3 reasons: 1. I can't use third party software in my office PC, 2.I can't afford it, 3. It will be an immense pleasure to create something useful, which I can share with the community.So, I was wondering, what would be the way to go about it.se dot net (probably VB.net)make a frameless windowet it to stay on topcreate a context menu to exit

When I am on my modify page and you scroll through the records with the Binding Navigator, somehow the previous records data stays on the screen and puts it into the next data. Now this only happens on my one screen with 2 combo boxes. How do I get my information to stay put so that users don't have to worry about scrolling through multiple records and screwing up the data?

I'm trying to get my splash screen to stay up for more that a second.I have used the code suggested by the book I have, the problem is that the book isn't specific about where the code goes.
I'm using the SplashScreen template. I've added the code in various places. Either the code will delay the splash screen from showing, then it flashes up for half a second, or the code will do nothing.

I have made a program with a main Form and several auxilary forms. Is it possible to modify the auxilary form in a way like a msgbox. It stays always in focus, and you cannot interact with the main form. What I did find was the Form.enabled (True or False) method, but then the main form completely greys out, but I don't like the way it looks.

I've written a VB . Net 2003 Application.Same Application on various pc's works the same in most cases BUT occasionally on some laptops the controls will resize themselves for no apparent reason.Say I have a picture or tab control with multiple items on it on a form.Some laptops when my software is run will shrink these items to a smaller size for no apparent reason even though my program forces the size of the object to say 400 x 300 or 600 x 400.How can my application detect this issue and scale the object to the right size OR prevent this issue in the first place?

Im using MDI parent form with a menu script and then the other forms will pop on the form with the same dimensions and size (for a more tidy look).My problem is that whenever i open multiple forms they move a litle down So when i open a form over an openned form it screws all the design.Theres no way of when oppening a form over a form and the new oppened form pops in the same position as default? (same size and position so the design wont get screwed).Even if i close the previous form and open a new form the position stills go a bit down and the design gets screwed again )

I have a DataGridView in which one column has data that the user needs to align by adding spaces. For example, the first two rows might contain:
kumbu
kuimbiu
And the user needs to be able to line up the letters that match by adding spaces. Something like this:
ku mb u
kuimbiu
Now in order to do that with the DataGridView, the user must enter edit mode in the top cell, add spaces, hit enter, re-enter edit mode in the bottom cell, and then add spaces. Our users would like to be able to, while in edit mode in the top cell, hit the down arrow and advance to the second cell while staying in edit mode, saving clicks or F2 hits.
Is there a good way to do this? I have tried trapping the down arrow key press, leaving edit mode, advancing a cell, and then entering edit mode with the grid's BeginEdit method, but this does not do what I want.
