I do have a form with a ToolStrip and some other controls on it. I use this form in other projects as kind of base form, which means that the other forms inherit from this form.
My problem: In the designer I can not change any properties (property window is read-only) of the Toostrip or add new buttons on it. All changes I have to do must be done in code instead of using the designer. ToolStrip-modifier property is set to Public.
i want the user to be able to select one from the combobox but i dont want them to be able to type in there own into the actual combobox, i tried Enabled property but then you can pick one either. And i couldn't find the IsReadOnly property on the ToolStripComboBox,
View 3 RepliesI have a base form class that is providing a new property that looks Like this
Public Class BaseForm
Private _HappyTime As Boolean
Public Property HappyTime() As Boolean
[Code]....
Now when I inherit the BaseForm on a new form, the HappyTime property displays in the properties window as false, and is uneditable.
I've recreated this BaseForm and Inheriting Form in an entirely new soloution and, the HappyTime property is editable and works as expected. For some reason in the existing project (where these changes need to be made) it's not behaving properly.
Environment Information: .Net Framework 3.5, Visual Studio 2010, Win7 x64
While I am asking this for VB I verified this issue also occurs in C# so I think it is a .NET issue. I am using Visual Studio 2010 Premium Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel with .NET Version 4.0.30319 SP1Rel.
Step to recreate the problem.
Create a new Windows Application for Visual Basic (WinForms).
Add a ToolStrip.
Add a ToolStripComboBox to the ToolStrip.
Save, note the width of the combo box.
Change the padding on the combo pax to 2.
Save and close the form designer.
Reopen the form designer, look at combo box width - it decreased. Note that form is marked as having been modified. So save it and close the designer again. Reopen the designer and look at the combo box width - it will have shrunk every time you save, close, and reopen until you get to a 0 width. It shrinks by 4 * the padding size. Why would padding affect the size since that is the interior margin where as the margin settings are the exterior margins.
In my project, I was first using two ListViews with a few buttons on the side to control actions (add files, remove files, etc). Now, I thought it looked neater if I incorporated those buttons into a ToolStrip, and put the ListViews into a SplitContainer.So I did... One SplitContainer, on the left side a ListView (docked Full) + ToolStrip (docked Top), on the right side exactly the same.
All of a sudden, (it seems to be pretty random), the right ListView (never the left one) seems to jump 'on top of' the ToolStrip. It looks as if the Z-Order changes so that the docking screws up, but after looking at the Document Outline, it is all still fine. The ToolStrip just seems to disappear from view completely. I have no idea where it went.Then, when I select the ToolStrip in the Component bar (what is that called? where you can see the control icons only for controls such as Dialogs etc), it suddenly pops up again, in the right place! And the ListView scales down a bit so everything is correct once again...
As soon as I select another control, the Listview jumps back up and the Toolstrip disappears again...At first I thought well, not really a problem since I can just select the ToolStrip from the component bar... Nope... It seems that the ToolStrip is also hidden during
I thought it was just a one-off bug and deleted the whole SplitContainer to build it up again. Five minutes later, it happened again.I decided to throw away to complete project and go back to a slightly older version (with the Buttons instead of the ToolStrip) and try it again.Nope, same problem! I have tried to reproduce the bug in a clean project, but no luck...

How to make some columns in datagridview editable and some columns are non-editable in the same datagridview control??
View 2 RepliesI 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.
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 have a number of lines of text on an .aspx page that I want a user to be able to edit, I am not storing this text/information anywhere in the database. I just want it to be information that is displayed to the user but can be editable, so the user can view the text and if there is a mistake or want to make a change they can do this by editing it.
I have seen that if you display data in a label and put a textbox beside it then, the textbox can move into the place of the label - I have done this for other text on the page however that method would not fit for this purpose because I require this edit of text to be for a number of lines.

I have an editable datagridview that's been databound with dataadapter and datatable, and a normal button on a form. When i edit the dgv's cells and click the save button it fires the datagridview_cellvalidating event and if the cell validation is correct it updates and saves the current record to the datasource. Also, before save it commits change in any cell under editing.But when I use a toolstripbutton to do the same work, though it saves the dgv records but doesn't update the current change i.e. it saves the old records that are being fetched when the dgv was populated first during form load. Also, clicking the toolstripbutton doesn't fire datagridview_cellvalidating, datagridview_rowvalidating etc events.
What it seems to be is it's not commiting the change in any cell under
