I have a modal popup I am displaying with jQuery, this popup contains a list of Checkboxes and a Button, the code looks like:
<div id="dialog" title="Notify Users" >
<div style="width:100%; height:500px; overflow:auto;">
<asp:CheckBoxList ID="chkNotify"

I have tried moving the CheckBoxList to just inside the form tag so that no other styles can be applied and nothing should affect it however I still get the same issue.

View 1 RepliesWell, in IE at the bottom right, the gray 5 fot looking things help you resize it down there, and stay there even after you maximize the window. When I make a form on VB and all, then maximize the window, it disappears on mine, but stays there every other time, except for while maximized, IE does it, so how do I make my program do it so it will stay there even when maximized? I have tried lengthy work-arounds and such, cause if its at correct size and location, and you maximize it stays, but I cant seem to find out when u maximize to over-ride it, so it'll work right.

View 4 RepliesCreate an application that calculates the total cost of a stay in a hotel If the check in occurs in November-March the rate is $89/night. April-August is $99/night and September-October is $109/night. $10/night should be added if more than 2 people are in the room. More than 4 people are not allowed in the room, and a traveler can only request 1 room. A 15% tax should be added to the room rate and 10% tax added to all room service and other charges. No tax will be added for phone charges.
The program should use a function to calculate the total charges for the visitor's stay and output it to a label. There should be buttons or menus to calculate the total, clear the form, and exit the application. At least one of the button should call a sub procedure which performs its function. [Code]
I have made a program with a main Form and several auxilary forms. Is it possible to modify the auxilary form in a way like a msgbox. It stays always in focus, and you cannot interact with the main form. What I did find was the Form.enabled (True or False) method, but then the main form completely greys out, but I don't like the way it looks.

View 4 RepliesHow can i best make a movable widget within a windows form application? I wanted a area inside the form where the widgets can be placed / moved, i was thinking something like Windows desktop gadgets, where you can move them around and add/remove them. i was thinking of using a group box to contain each individual widget (notepad, time, calc ect) and a flow layout panel to contain and move all of the widgets.
Also i was hoping there would be a way to actually have icons to press which place the widgets into the flow layout panel.

View 2 RepliesThe problem has been simplified for the purpose of clarity. I want to make a windows form application that uses an access database. The application will store the list of person's basic details such as name, age and country. The database contains two related tables ie person(id, name, age, country_id) and country(id, country_name) My windows form contains TextBox, DateTimePicker, ComboBox for Name, Age and Country respectively. Now I want to make CRUD operation Programmatically (Not using Visual tools) in the same form with some navigation buttons.
