How to tab between buttons on an Mac OS X dialog box

I know that there has been a similar question asked here very recently, but I was wondering if it was possible to tab between buttons on default Mac OS X dialog boxes? I already have the "All Controls" option enabled in System Preferences->Keyboard and mouse->keyboard shortcuts, but no joy. ...

Looking for ASP.NET code to render a form that displays a view of an object

I've got the task of displaying a web form to represent the properties in a .NET class. In WinForms, there's a pre-fab control named PropertyGrid that is a lot like what I need. I'm just looking for something to display a simple layout of property names next to an appropriate control like a textbox for strings or a dropdownlist for enum ...

Genealogy Tree Control

I've been tasked (by my wife) with creating a program to allow her to track the family trees on both sides of our family. Does anyone know of a cost effective (free) control to represent this type of information. What I'm looking for is a modified org-chart type chart/tree. The modification is that any node should have 2 parent nodes (E....

Best way to access a control on another form in WinForms?

First off, this is a question about a desktop app using Windows Forms, not an ASP.Net question. I need to interact with controls on other forms. Trying to access the controls by using, for example, the following... otherForm.Controls["nameOfControl"].Visible = false; ...doesn't work the way I would expect. I end up with an exception ...

HTML Email Editor in a Windows Forms Application

We are looking for a WYSIWYG editor control for our windows application (vb.net or c#) so that users can design HTML emails (to send using the SMTP objects in the dot net framework) before sending.

ASP.NET AjaxToolKit vs other third party Ajax controls (Telerik, etc)

We have a new developer who swears by Telerik controls and would like us to purchase licenses for the entire development team (8 devs) as he feels they speed up the development process. As half of the team is pretty new to ASP.NET, they're still learning what comes out of the box with Visual Studio 2008 and might be overwhelmed with a w...

Any recommendations for lightweight .net Win Forms HTML renderer controls?

Trying to avoid the .net WebBrowser control (I don't need to navigate to a url, print rendered html or any of the other inbuilt goodies). Wrapping the IE dll seems a bit heavyweight. I simply require something that can display basic html marked up text - an html equivalent of RichTextBox in effect. Anyone have any experiences / recomm...

ASP.NET - asp:xxx Controls versus standard HTML

I'm getting into ASP.NET (C# - I know it doesn't matter for this particular question, but full disclosure and all that), and while I love that the asp:-style controls save me a lot of tedious HTML-crafting, I am often frustrated with certain behaviors. I encountered one last night when working with Master Pages: my <asp:BulletedList ID="...

What's a good 3rd party ASP.NET menu control replacement?

The ASP menu control emits tables instead of div's, and I don't want to bother learning control adapters. I want it to emit CSS-friendly code, and I need to be able to style the menu items individually. Nice transition effects are a plus, but at this point I'd settle for something straightforward and reasonably priced. ...

Can you recommend an ASP.NET control library?

Do you have a good experience with a control library? Something that is kind of robust, well documented, consistent (across different controls) and quite well integrated into the Visual Studio. ...

Grid controls compatible with .NET and Mono?

Do you know any grid control compatible with .NET and Mono? DataGridView seems to be quite buggy on Mono, and GTK# controls depends on GTK+ so you need to install it in windows machines where, usually, it's not present. ...

Have you got a CascadingDropDown working with ASP.NET MVC?

If so how? Did you roll your own with jQuery or use the Microsoft AJAX toolkit? Did you create a webservice or call an action? EDIT : Please note that this question was asked before Microsoft announced that they were going to bundle jQuery in with VS/ASP.NET MVC. I think there is less of a discussion around this topic now and the...

Does anyone have any experience with a good wpf pivot table control? ...

How can I make a ListView's columns auto-resize programmatically?

I've found some examples using the Win32 api or simulating the ^+ button combination (ctrl-+) using SendKeys, but at least with the SendKeys method the listview grabs the cursor and sets it to an hourglass until I hit the start button on my keyboard. What is the cleanest way to do this? ...

Web in a desktop application: Good web browser controls?

I've been utlising a "web browser control" in desktop based applications (in my case Windows Forms .NET) for a number of years. I mostly use it to create a familiar flow-based user interface that also allows a seamless transition to the internet where required. I'm really tired of the IE browser control because of the poor quality html...

Why doesn't BackColor work for TabControls in .NET?

If you use the standard tab control in .NET for your tab pages and you try to change the look and feel a little bit then you are able to change the back color of the tab pages but not for the tab control. The property is available, you could set it but it has no effect. If you change the back color of the pages and not of the tab control...

Is there an easy way to create two columns in a popup text window?

This seemed like an easy thing to do. I just wanted to pop up a text window and display two columns of data -- a description on the left side and a corresponding value displayed on the right side. I haven't worked with Forms much so I just grabbed the first control that seemed appropriate, a TextBox. I thought using tabs would be an easy...

Text on a ProgressBar in WPF

This may be a no-brainer for the WPF cognoscenti, but I'd like to know if there's a simple way to put text on the WPF ProgressBar. To me, an empty progress bar looks naked. That's screen real estate that could carry a message about what is in progress, or even just add numbers to the representation. Now, WPF is all about containers and e...
