I've got a StatusStrip with a single ToolStripStatusLabel, Spring=true and a background color for notifications. The problem is that there's an ugly gray square on the right side of the status strip. After fiddling for a while, I realized this is the sizing grip (I had is set to SizingGrip=false, GripStyle=Hidden). Yet even with it hi...

Recently my boss had a progress dialogue added on a separate thread so the user would see some activity when the main thread went away and did some heavy duty work and locked out the GUI.

I'm trying to create an options menu in a C# forms project, and I'm curious if there's a less ugly way to do this. I have a ListBox that has the different categories of options, and when you select a category, the options for that category appear in a panel on the right. Basically, something identical to the options menu in Visual Studio...
We are seeing bad behavior in an application when it runs on Server 2008 (not R2). This is a WinForms application, and Control.MousePosition is returning {0,0} no matter where the mouse is on the screen... Control.MousePosition just makes a P/Invoke call to Win32 api GetCursorPos(). Followup: I am using Control.MousePosition from W...

I have a WinForms application with an embedded MapPoint control that I've been maintaining for about 5 years now. The application originally used MapPoint 2004, then 2006, and now we're upgrading to 2010. Within my development environment (VS2008/.NET 2.0 for the project) the application runs fine. Once I create an installer and insta...

This works under the .net framework 3.5 client. This fails under the .net framework 4.0 client. Was I doing something that was illegal under 3.5 but just happened to work, or is this a bug? Note that in my project 'PropInt' does not raise change events so using ctx[obj1.PropObj2, "PropInt"] is not an option. public class Obj1 { ...
Hi All I have a MainMenu in my app and I would like to have little icons relevant to the Item in each menu. But the MainMenu control does not support this. I would use the MenuStrip control, though that is a pretty ugly option in my opinion. Does anybody have any suggestions? Are there any free/open source alt's out there, or would it...

I'm using Direct2D in C# to render a small gui framework for my research project. I'm not very used to working on Windows or with DirectX. I'm using a Windows Forms control to create a render target, and msdn warns that since it uses BindDC, a the larger the rendering target, the worse the performance will be (which turned out to be a dr...
I have a WPF form. It handles the KeyUp event and if the released key was Escape, it closes itself. Also this form has a button to show some Windows Form as a dialog. It does handle the Escape key in the same way. What happens is that when I press Escape when in the child dialog, both windows close. I expect only the child Windows Form...
