VS 2008 Controls Enabled And Disabled On Windows Form?

Jun 7, 2009

I am making a configuration screen so that an administrator can easily determine what controls on a form are enabled according to a combo selection.

I have created a table (SQL2008 DB) to store the settings and need ideas how I can best implement.

The session form will start up normal with only a few controls enabled to start, but then when the user selects a "session type" from a drop down combo then the form will be configured for that type. Because there may be several different combinations, and I do want to offer the user the ability to add and configure more types as needed I feel like this may be the best method instead of hard coding.

Table Structure

SessionType varchar(25) not null PK
ControlSwitch varchar(50) Not Null

(Edit: I may add an additional DB field so that I can specify the default value of a control also)

Now what I thought I would do on the config form is have a series of combo boxes and the label represent each control with a value of True or False, then when saved it builds a string like example 1,1,0,1,0,1,1,1 or True, True, False etc.

The string would represent
ctrl1=on, ctrl2=on,ctrl3=off,ctrl4=on,ctrl5=off,ctrl6=on,ctrl7=on,ctrl8=on and so on.

Hypothetical Controls - Options Checked As Enabled In FrmConfig Effects - Controls (like Buttons/menu Options) Are Enabled In FrmMain

Nov 26, 2010

As i'm learning more and more about developing ive just got my head around creating classes and modules, i started wondering about something to do with configuration of applications where deployment is in a more diverse environment say in a company where different branches dont need access to all parts of a program, so i thought id throw the question out there in a basic sense and get some feedback. so i can go off and do some more reading and learning.

So the scenario in my head is like this.

So we have for arguments sake FrmConfig which is the master configuration form, then we have FrmMain which is the root menu our application general user interfaces with. So here based on what options are checked as enabled in FrmConfig effects what controls (like buttons/menu options) are enabled in FrmMain.

Cannot Distinguish If DataGridView Is Enabled Or Disabled

Sep 7, 2010

Put a Datagridview on a form, fill it with data. dgv1.enabled = True and dgv1.enabled = False are almost the same look to the eye unlike other controls (textbox,combo, listview, etc ...) where there back color changed to light grey and you can distinguish if that control is enabled or disabled but not for Datagridview.

.net - Enabled Scrollbar In A Disabled Textbox For WinForms?

Jun 3, 2012

I'm trying to allow scrolling in a Multiline-TextBox even if the TextBox is set to

textbox.Enabled = False

This is not possible, as the Scrollbar is disabled with the Enabled-Command, too.The default solution here is to set

textbox.ReadOnly = True
textbox.Enabled = True

but this doesn't really do the trick for me. With ReadOnly I can still select the text of a TextBox as well as place the cursor inside of it. But as I have normal (non Multiline-TextBoxes) and other controls on the same form I don't want that to happen. I want to have exactly the same behavior as all the other disabled TextBoxes.

For everything else, like mimic the color of a disabled textbox and so on, there is a legitimate workaround with the ReadOnly-Property, but I coudn't find any for selecting text and placing the cursor.

UPDATE:I tried to use WIN32 API but it didn't work as expected:

Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class TestTextBox

Changing Disabled Controls ForeColor?

Jan 26, 2007

Is there an "easy" way to change a control's ForeColor when it is diabled? Yes, I know that this goes against the Windows standard.

On our forms, we have buttons with a dark blue background and a white foreground (the design is dictated by marketing). When the buttons become disabled, the ForeColor goes to a dark color making the button unreadable.

Make All Of The Controls Arranged In Windows Form?

Jun 10, 2010

I have a windows form that contains a panel (Hosting panel for X number of panels). The hosting panel AutoScroll property is set to true.I need to create X number of a panels each will have (Lable and three Radio buttons) at run time. The panel controls must be aligned.So I created a loop in my form load event to add the X number of the panels on the form. I used the location X and Y to position the controls on the form. The loop work fine until it reach the point where the controls host panel needs to enable Auto Scrolling which cause the added panels to be shifted to right. The shifting happened once the host panel auto scroll becomes enabled.

Is there any way to check from .NET if windows update is enabled?

I want to prompt the users every time they log into my app that their computer might be at risk and give them a link to windows update website (or windows update application from control panel).

Preferably it should work on XP, Vista and Windows 7. Maybe there is a registry key or even better an API?
