I'm sure most people on here have opened an OpenFileDialog or SaveFileDialog and set the SelectedPath property to point to some directory...

I was just wondering is there a way to change the default name when you add a new control? I like to name my controls btnSomething etc... and if i could change the default names of added buttons from Button1, Button2 etc to btn1, btn2 etc.It will save me time when renaming.(Same applies for toolstripmenuitem buttons)Actually what would be ideal is if when i add a button, i directly go to the input for Text, and when i change that for the first time (like with toolstripmenuitems) the name changes according to the text (e.g. when you add a toolstripmenuitem in a context menu strip, if you set the text to "Reset" the name becomes ResetToolStripMenuItem. It would be awesome if i could make it automatically name to btnReset for buttons and tsmReset for toolstripmenuitems.)If there is a way to do this, even a difficult and not exactly pretty one involving macros and an input box, i would like to know

I have a d.g.v. with two columns. One is set as date and the other is set as decimal. If there is a row and a number is typed in the decimal column, you can delete it and leave the cell empty. However, the program will not let me delete the contents of a date cell and leave it empty. It just gives me the default error dialog saying that I need to put the contents in proper date form and it doesn't let me leave it blank.
How can I make it so that it allows me to leave the cell blank?

I have a windows app. I have a textbox that I capture the right click and do some processing. After I execute my code then I get the cut/paste windows default. How can I just do my code and suppress the MS stuff?
View 2 RepliesWhen I develop a Windows Forms app in Visual Studio using C#, every control that I add to my form is by default marked as private, which is what I want.
When using VB.NET, every control is by default marked as Friend (the equivalent of internal in C#), which is not what I want.
Can I just change this default? It seems like surely it's a setting somewhere.
Is there any way to add a checkbox to the windows default print dialog or do I have to create my own print dialog?
View 1 RepliesI have a large number of textboxes on a form that are set to read-only until the user clicks an Unlock button. I have left the default colouring in place (no code required), so the boxes are light grey when read-only and change to white when not read-only. The problem I have is that Windows Vista's colours are so insipid and pale that it's hard to spot the difference on some monitors. It all looks good on an XP desktop but the difference is too subtle on a Vista PC.
Can the default colouring of a read-only textbox be changed? I know I can change it in code with backcolor but I don't want to put loads of code behind my Unlock button. That's the way I did it in VB6 and I want to get away from that. I just want to use the default "greying out" action when making the texbox read-only, but change to a slightly darker grey.
I am looking for a way to modify the default values in windows vista and or 7.
Examples:
* The default directory for the save/save-as dialog box.
* The size of the window.
* The "favorites" list on the left of the box.
I have been looking for a while and the only thing I can find is to edit the group policy but this will only affect programs that are using the xp dialog box.I am sure this is actualy pretty easy but I cannot find anything for the life of me

The MaskedEditExtender control that I am using is set up for a MaskType="DateTime" and the AcceptAMPM="true" but I need to know how a user can change the am/pm without having to type in A for AM and P for PM?

I have Excel 2003 and 2007 loaded on my computer. When I open an Excel file, it is defaulting to 2003. How do I check to see what the default program is for opening xls files and change this to 2007 in my code? I have already done the following manually:
1-Open My Computer
2-Go to Tools --Folder options
3-Click the File Types tab
4-Scroll down to the XLS file type and highlight it

However I am not convince that its defaulting to Excel 2007 when I run projects in VB as I am seeing the "File Conversion" prompt when file are open.
