Hi, I have a DataGridView in a Winforms application containing a collection of items. Each item has an image and various other details. I know it is possible in WPF, but can you get a tooltip to display an image and a more structured set of details then just plain text? Thanks. ...
I'm sure you know the problem, as soon as a BindingSource is connected to a DataGridView the DataGridView generates columns for each Property found in the Type of the BindingSource's DataSource and adds that crap to the Form.Designer.cs file. We only use run time generated columns, the clutter in the designer file is just waste of code,...

We have a WinForms desktop application, which is heavily multithreaded. 3 threads run with Application.Run and a bunch of other background worker threads. Getting all the threads to shut down properly was kind of tricky, but I thought I finally got it right. But when we actually deployed the application, users started experiencing the...
You all know the "You've got new answers!" notification bar on SO. I'd like the same thing in a Form, preferably just as smooth. Is there a simple way? Or do I have to completely create this myself? My searches did not yield any good results, only lots of progress bars and popups in the system notification area, but that's not what I'm ...

What are the new versions of CAB, mainly for WPF? What is changed? Is it the same stuff, adjusted for WPF characteristics? Does it still rely on Unity (and SCSF for the matter)? I find Microsoft and MSDN to be very confusing sometimes ... :( ...
Here is screen shot of my game. On the left is my problem, seem "old draw" still existing. On the right is what it should be. http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/1058/38995989.jpg drawing code Graphics g = e.Graphics; for (int i = 1; i < 27; i += 1) { for (int j = 0; j < 18; j += 1) { ...
I know I have to use SetWindowLongPtr with GWLP_WNDPROC and create my own WndProc that handles the message I want (such as WM_GETMINMAXINFO and modify the MINMAXINFO structure). However, because I want to do this for a window created by another program (like notepad.exe), I can't do this from my C#/WinForms program, I have to create a n...
I have some windows docked to edges/corners of the working area, and I need to know if/when the WorkingArea of the screen changes so I can update the position of those windows. I've attempted to tackle this before to no avail, as I recall. ...
I want to define a special kind of button that only allows two possible labels: "ON" and "OFF". I decided to inherit from a Windows.Forms.Button to implement this but now I don't know I how should enforce this rule. Should I just override the Text property like this? public override string Text { set { throw new InvalidO...
Are there any alternative controls someone can suggest to replace the WinForms SplitContainer? I don't like how the SplitContainer shows that weird, dotted strip when its selected and when its being dragged. I want to have the panels re-size as the user drags instead of on mouse up and not show any dotted strips when the splitter is bei...
How can I create in C# a Windows Form without taskbar (where the minimize and maximize button are placed). Thanks. ...
My C# project contains a form. There are some controls across the top of the form and some controls across the bottom of the form, as well as a FlowLayoutPanel in the center, all of which have been placed with the Visual Studio Form Designer. During runtime, controls are dynamically added to and removed from the FlowLayoutPanel, and b...
This may be a basic question, but I have to admit I've never truly understood what the difference between the Control.Enter and Control.GotFocus events is. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.enter.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.gotfocus.aspx Is it a differenti...

I'm making a level editor for a game using windows forms. The form has several drop down menus, text boxes, etc, where the user can type information. I want to make commands like CTRL + V or CTRL + A available for working within the game world itself, not text manipulation. The game world is represented by a PictureBox contained in a Pa...
