Hi, I have a Windows form which has tab pages. On a Tab Page, I have a Combo Box. When I click the combobox a drop down opens up just below the combo box to give the impression of a drop down. The drop down is a windows form and this is how I set its position Popup.Location = control.PointToScreen(parentcontrol.PointToClient(new Sys...

I've created a databindable class called Folder which implements a ITreeItem interface and inherits from BindingList<ITreeItem>. I have a second class, TreeLeaf, which is a leaf in the tr...
I'm working on a project that is requiring me to add multiple user controls to a panel. What I would like to do with these custom controls is highlight the currently selected control and low-light the others. My problem is that my custom controls aren't receiving the GotFocus/LostFocus messages. Am I missing something here? This is how ...
Is there an Event that is fired when you maximize a WinForms Form or "un-maximize" it again? Before you say "Resize" or "SizeChanged": Those get only fired if the Size actually changes. If your window happens to be equal in size to the maximized window, they do not fire. Location looks like the next best bet, but that again feels like g...
I'm working with Windows Forms designer. It serializes properties of type Color as known name whenever possible.

I do not wish to use compatible text rendering, but I do not wish to use Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); Naturally, I thought all I had to do was set each label's UseCompatibleTextRendering property to false.

For instance I'm debugging in VS2008 and it looks great, but when I view the app in IE7 or IE8 on Vista or Win7 all the controls look like Netscape navigator circa...
How do you configure/setup your .dll file so that when its hosted in IE and a user hits the page it just prompts them to 'trust' the application and install it and run? Currently all the doco I can find talks about adding the site to the trusted zone and running "caspol" on the command line to modify your .net security settings, which w...
Hello, I am facing a strange behavior when I apply a non-rectangular region to a Windows Form (lets say an ellipse). The issue is that the form seems to disappear for a moment (as if the region is empty) when initially resized. It looks like a slight flicker whereas the contents of the desktop behind the form become visible for a fracti...
Short question: Do any of MS's built in Data Objects support INotifyPropertyChanged? Long explination: So I'm going to be displaying alot of data with databound controls.

Given a WinForms TextBox control with MultiLine = true and AcceptsTab == true, how can I set the width of the tab character displayed? I want to use this as a quick and dirty script input box for a plugin. It really doesn't need to be fancy at all, but it would be nice if tabs were not displayed as 8 characters wide... From the accepte...

Hello, I've been charged with creating a little GUI launcher app to go on a CD which will offer the user some software and some videos. It's not being aimed at particularly tech-savvy people, so it needs to be quite simple. I guess the real sticking point here is that it will be form based. I would very much like the launcher to just ru...
