I've overriden the WndProc of the ComboBox and I am drawing my own combo box, a code snippet is below:
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As Message)
MyBase.WndProc(m)
Select Case m.Msg
Case &HF
[Code]....
Though the old control is still being painted as my drawn combo box is just overlapping the old drawing. Is there a way to stop it drawing the default combo box?
where Windows Message constants can be found in the framework?Example: msg=0x2 (WM_DESTROY) hwnd=0x24038c wparam=0x0 lparam=0x0 result=0x0

MyBase.WndProc(m)

I made a Vista Aero -style form for XP, but when using it, the application won't close. The FormClosed and Disposed events fire, but not the HandleDestroyed event. I tried to get around that by handling the Disposed event and calling Me.DestroyHandle(), and it worked, but not if the user resized the form so that it caused an IndexOutOfRangeException in BlurImage().The code is attached.

View 2 RepliesI'm using the WndProc To get messages about USB flashdrives connecting and removing from the users computer. It works grand. I also use WMI queries to get the info about the flashdrives. It works as it shouold. The problem is when both of these are in the same solution. I ended up creating an extra .EXE that uses the WMI queries to get the drive info and output the info to a CSV file which my Main will parse. I tries creating a seperate class of each and i also tried to make a DLL that I import to no avail.
View 4 RepliesCurrently im trying to write a HotKey class, however in order to intercept the messages you need to overwrite the WndProc and check for WM_HOTKEY.

I'm creating a base class for a button that inherits from Control as opposed to ButtonBase.
I'm using reflector to look at ButtonBase to make sure I don't overlook anything important and I'm puzzled with the contents of the WndProc method. There's checks in there for things like button up, click and capture changed, which as far as I can tell are all handled within the relevent 'On' methods of the class.
I am attempting to detect addition/removal of volume media in a Visual Studio 2005 project. I can get this to work using the WndProc message WM_DEVICECHANGE on all types of volumes except SDHC (Secure Digital High Capicity) cards. Is there another Windows Message I have to listen for? If so, what is it, and what else do I have to do?

I'm developing a program where I've had to add a keyboard shortcuts system. The problem is it uses a third party OCX for a part of its display, and it is catching some essential WM_KEYDOWN messages when in focus, like Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc. I've tried catching the WM_KEYDOWN message through WndProc, but the message is not propagating, so I guess the keyboard messages go from the inner container to the outer one, don't they?
The WM_KEYUP messages can be caught tho, but I'd prefer to be able to catch some of those messages on the KeyDown event. I'm aware I could make some low-level hook, but I'd like to avoid this workaround. Well, if the WM_KEYDOWN message goes from the OCX to its top level container, I guess I'll have to treat those key combinations in the KeyUp event.
I am capturing a few system command messages (namely minimize/maximize/restore). Inside the WndProc override I am trying to change the form's Me.ShowInTaskbar value but it is causing weird behavior in that minimization and restoration does not occur properly.Can anyone think of a reason why changing this property would interfere with this? The reason I don't really want to post code is because duplicating the effect takes a bit of code/setup. My initial thought was that changing the property's value is somehow sending another windows message and canceling the one I am currently manipulating. I realize this is a little vague but it's a shot in the dark.

Some of my DataGridViewCells return the wrong value in their GetClipboardContent method. They are cells in a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn cells, so they use the displayed property, not the value property of the cell. I want it to return the value itself.An initial attempt was simply using
Protected Overrides Function GetClipboardContent(ByVal rowIndex As Integer, ByVal firstCell As Boolean, ByVal lastCell As Boolean, ByVal inFirstRow As Boolean, ByVal inLastRow As Boolean, ByVal format As String) As Object Return Value End Function in my DataGridViewComboBoxCell descendant but then I noted that this method is called more than one time per cell value, once for every data format DataGridView supports by standard, which are format="HTML", "Text", "UnicodeText" and "Csv". For csv, the base implementation appends a comma if it's not the last cell, for html it adds the correct tags depending on if it's the first/last row/cell in the table/table row, etc. I consider this format-specific, not cell-value specific.
So how could I replace the value that ends up in the clipboard without re-implementing all those format-specific aspects? That would result in quite some code for functionality that already exists in the base class, wouldn't it?
I have a theoretical class Name_Order, that has a string Name and a int Order. I need to indicate that two Name_Order's are different, if the pair NameOrder is different, that is, or name or order are different. Now, overriding Equals no problemo, but I have some "issues" with GetHashCode:

I have a main class that has a Sub procedure with no implementation. Any derived class should override and implement this procedure, so I used MustOverride in the base class.
Now, any time this procedure is called, I need to set a specific Boolean variable to True at the beginning of the procedure and set it to False at the end.
Is there a way to avoid writing these two lines of code in procedure implementation of every single derived class? Can I set this value to True in the base class, then run procedure in the derived class and then set the value back in the base class?

View 1 RepliesI inherited DataGridViewTextBoxCell because I need to add some custom property to it.
At run-time after creating the DataGridView instance and bind the data I do the following:

I have a DGV with the Alternating row color set to grey.In the CellFormatting event on the DGV I want to go through the rows as if a cell contains a certain value I want to set the BackColor to red.However when I do this, it just gets overridden with the Alternating grey color. The cell in question in a normal colored row appears in red as expected, just not the alternating row.
rticularly when creating jQuery buttons with no text and just icons) as a result of this.Secondly I am attempting to create my own custom button output by overriding the Render() event and am having a bit of difficulty trying to understand how to go about changing the output that is provided by this event.If I look at the HtmlTextWriter that is provided as the parameter to the Render() event I can see it contains a protected property TagKey = Input {47}, is it possible to simply modify this property somehow and change it to a Button or do I need to create a new instance of the HtmlTextWriter and populate it all from the start? If so, could anyone provide some guidance as to how this would typically be done and if there are any special considerations I need to make to ensure that my derived button class is functionally equivalent to the original (excluding the html)?
