Is there any light version of richtextbox control? I've got to create like 300+ of them in an app which takes time, memory and slows everything down... All that I need is to have a control that will enable me changing the background/foreground of a part of the text... I'd need that in winforms... anybody know anything about some kind of ...
There's a certain control which I don't have the source to (Steema TTree) it doesn't send a help message when help is requested through the form. (clicking the ? near the X on the dialog, then clicking the TTree) I can just call help directly on the form and pass in my own helpmessage, but I don't know whether the form is in help mode....
Edit 1 Is it possible to do this with get/set? Something like the below? This works for me but I am worried I am missing something not to mention all the staticness. ///<summary> /// Class to track and maintain Heads Up Display information ///</summary> public static class HUD { ///<summary> ///Declare variables to store HUD ...
In VB.net 3.5 SP1 I have a Windows Form with three DataGridView controls. One DGV takes up the whole bottom half of the form. The other two share the top half and are side-by-side. I'd like to have each DataGridView scale appropriately. More specifically I'd like to have column widths and row heights adjust to the size of the form....
I know that WebForms has a RadioButtonList control, but I can't find one for WinForms. What I need is to have 3 RadioButtons grouped together, so that only 1 can be selected at a time. I'm finding that I have to do this through code, which is a pain. Am I just not seeing RadioButtonList somewhere, or does it really not exist in WinForms?...
In a simple Guess-The-Number game I'm making, the user inputs a couple of numbers and hits a button. A second panel becomes enabled and the original one is disabled. The user now enters a number and hits another button, multiple times. Since the two panels will never be enabled at the same time, I'd like for both buttons to be "default",...
I have a List<> (my custom class). I want to display a specific item in this list in a box on the PropertyGrid control. At the end of the box I would like the [...] button. When clicked, it would open up a form which, among other things, would allow them to pick one of the items from the List. When closed, the PropertyGrid would be updat...
When I am viewing a document in Wordpad (or Word) the text is word wrapped around the document boundaries. Altough when I using the RTF string in a RichTextBox the text is wrapped around the control border. This means when I change the size of the window the wordwrapping changes. Is there something I can do about this ? (some kind of mo...
I need to display a modeless message box whenever a user hovers over a menu item. I can't use messagebox.show(...) because it is a modal. So what I did was create a seperate windows form and display the form using the hover event on the menu item. I have 2 problems: 1) When the windows form displays the menu loses its visibility. 2) The...
I need to capture the KeyUp event in my form (to toggle a "full screen mode"). Here's what I'm doing: protected override void OnKeyUp(KeyEventArgs e) { base.OnKeyUp(e); if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F12) this.ToggleFullScreen(); } private void ToggleFullScreen() { // Snazzy code goes here } This works fine, unless a c...
I have a toolbar of images, and I want text labels underneath the images. Where the text labels are multiple words, I'd like to stack the words vertically. How can I do it? ...
So I am designing a control with a window s form. I want to group some controls together with a caption. So naturally I would go with a GroupBox. However is there some advantage in using a panel instead? Something not immediatly obvious to one who is still a little green with form design? How about some "gotchas" as well. ...

Relative paths in C# are acting screwy for me. In one case Im handling a set of Texture2d objects to my app, its taking the filename and using this to locate the files and load the textures into Image objects. I then load an image from a relative path stored in the class file and use a relative path that needs to be relative to Content/g...
Anyone know where i can find a good comparison between the "generally accepted" Pro's and Con's for developing in ASP.NET verses Win forms 2.0. Preferably something official. I need to make a presentation to my boss (not a techie at all) about the two, and am looking for something "official" to show him. I have found lots of things o...

Given a public instantiation of a class in WinForm1, I attempt to open WinForm2 and eliciting DB parms do a query the results of which I would like use to fill the class instance in WinForm1. However, I cannot figure out how to access the class instance in WinForm1 from WinForm2. The class instance in WinForm1 is coded as a private mem...
I know it most likely possible to access a winforms menu like an array but I am not seeing it in the menu designer of VS2008? What I mean is, my app has a typical menu bar across the top, with multiple items on each drop down. As it is written (I inherited this code), each menu item is a separate name, i.e. myMenuOption1MenuItem myMenuO...
I was trying to figure out if a for loop was faster than a foreach loop and was using the System.Diagnostics classes to time the task. While running the test I noticed that which ever loop I put first always executes slower then the last one. Can someone please tell me why this is happening? My code is below: using System; using System....
When a child window of my application is opened and I view the ALT-TAB menu, the application icon looks pixellated. I assume that Windows uses a low resolution version of the icon (16x16 pixel I think). What can I do that Windows selects the right version which would be 32x32 pixel? I assigned an icon to the window in question that has ...
