VS 2005 - Gotchas With Docked Forms - Forms - Displayed Using Menu Items To Display Information To User
Nov 10, 2011We have an application that has a main form with a map on it. Right now the paradigm is to have forms that are displayed using menu items to display information to the user. Most of these forms are modal forms, but a couple are non-modal forms that interact with the map. For some of the forms, it really would make for a better user experience if we could dock them in the main form of the app and allow the user to see both the form and the map. For instance. We could have a list of map features in a docked window, and select one of the items on the list and have the map zoom to that feature. Or do the reverse: let the users select a map item and have a docked window that shows details of the feature. Sounds great, but I wonder about what sort of gotchas we may encounter. In particular, what if we have two windows docked at the same time? Could we get tangled up in our event code?

Docked TableLayoutPanel Hides Form Gradient?
Aug 11, 2009I have a form which I am adding a gradient to. However on this form I have aTableLayoutPanel (with controls) with the dock set to Fill.

Jun 20, 2009I am loading a specific excel file into a form using webBrowser control(I'm suing this control because this way I can open any excel file). The thing i want to do is get the contents of specific cells within this excel file and put them into a textbox. An easy way to do this seems to be plain copy/paste the contents into the textbox. I want this process to be automated, so that the user can click only one button and the selected cell's contents to go sraight to the textbox(the button would act like the copy command and then paste the contents in the textbox). Also, i would like to know if i can add this option to the right-click menu.

The menu strip should be created in the Form_Load event handler. I have to use a TextBox for user input. If the user enters information into the TextBox and clicks on the Add Button, the text should be added to a ComboBox control.A Menu should then be created that must be added to the menu strip dynamically.

View 16 RepliesDeployment :: Publish And Install A Win App Without Creating Start Menu Entry
Aug 19, 2009I've built a couple of Apps successfully, but having published them to a Network Folder, Non-Admin Users can't install them themselves because the Install attempts to create an Entry in the Start Menu. There may be other Security issues (I need 4 of the permissions included if I publish it as a Partial Trust Applications, which I think affect this) after this point that I'm not aware of, but yeah, it fails when trying to create a Start Menu item -

I think excluding the right is just part of the SOE, but is there some way I can create this and have it NOT create a Start Menu item, haven't been able to find any?

View 2 RepliesDraw A Line Above A Docked Control?
Nov 9, 2011I have a borderless form that I'm "docking" onto the top edge of my screen. Inside of the form, I'm placing a single toolstrip control, which docks across the entire form -> (picture the taskbar to get an idea of what I'm talking about).Because the borderless form has no edge to it, I wanted to draw a black line along the bottom edg` of the form to differentiate the form from the windows or desktop behind it.
The problem that I'm facing is that`the toolstrip will not move "behind" the line when it's docked, no matter how I order the control layers.
I've tried programatically sending the control to back to no avail either.
Any ideas on how to get the line to show above the docked toolstrip?
Layout Rendering And Docked Elements
Dec 23, 2011I'm having a few problems with the layout of my new browser. I have a WebBrowser control which is docked 'Fill', and a MenuBar at the top docked 'Top'. When I run the program and go to Google (which has a dark bar at the top), a white gap becomes visible. I think that this is because the MenuBar's RenderMode is set to 'System'. When I click on it in the editor the bottom of the background is a few pixels away from the MenuBar's bounding square.Also, the MenuBar's RenderMode has to be set to System other wise the control is drawn as a rounded-rectangle and there are gaps in the background image in the corners. That said, I could change it, if someone could provide a solution to showing the background image in another control and set the MenuBar's background to transparent.
