Re: Display a image on a Button with button.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.System

Yes. I need "downward click" "effect". When I do button.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Standard, everything works fine but the look and feel of the button is like windows 2000 button.

Then I'm going to go with making a custom control that has the style + effect + picture.

Yes you did. Thats why I pointed you to the article. It might be useful for you also.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

No. You have to implement this yourself. Check out this link.

I implemented something similar in a project.

I hope this helps.

Simple Data Binding

Is it possible to bind the text of a label to a variable so that if the variable changes, the displayed text on the label changes?

Dynamic DropDownList C# ASP.NET

10-Oct-05 8:57

Sort of... one easy way to do this is to create a get/set for the variable and in the SET just change the text of the label as well:

<code>
private string myVariable;

public string MyVariable
{
   get
   {
      return this.myVariable;
   }
   set
   { 
      this.myVariable = value;
      this.Label1.Text = value;
   }
}
</code>

Now when you do something like: MyVariable = "Blah";
it will run through the "set" portion of the code and change the label as well as the internal private variable

[EDIT] Forget it, I don't think it will work the way you want.[/EDIT]

Does this work?

class MainForm : Form
{
   string labelText = "Blah";
   public MainForm()
   {
      InitializeComponent();
      label1.DataBindings.Add("Text", this, "labelText");
}

I am working on this project in which I create dynamic dropdown lists with C# ASP.NET and I want to save each dropdownlist so that I can see what value the user selected when they click the submit button. The only thing is when a postback occurs, everything is reset. I tried saving the dropdowns in Session variables but that does not seem to work. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate that. Thanks

Sincerely,
The Major Rager

Typically this means you're not setting up your drop down lists in a !IsPostback block.

Adding keyboard shortcuts to a messagebox?

10-Oct-05 10:10

This is usually (in my experience) done in the Page_Load event. Just use an if(!Page.IsPostback) block like stated above.

Is it possible to add an Underlined letter style shortcut to the buttons of a MessageBox dialog without wrting my own class to do it.

I didn't think so, but my manager asked me to check.

Tell him you spent longer checking than it takes to write such a simple dialog, and that makes him an idiot. Smile | :)

It'd take me longer than this posting because I don't know how to do the automagic width setting based on the message string. It's an issue for complying with client provided UI standards, although I suspect we'll just br adding it to the waiver list.

Graphics.MeasureString

Dan Neely10-Oct-05 10:03

10-Oct-05 10:03

Where/how should I make the call. I tried doing it in the set method for the relevant string, but intelisence won't show the constructor for a Graphics object, and I can't find where to find an existing one for the form.

Christian Graus10-Oct-05 10:06

10-Oct-05 10:06

Basically you need to create a graphics object for the control, use it to measure the string, and use that to resize the box, probably in the constructor, given that you probably set the string before calling showDialog
