Hello

It's not just posiible, it's also easy with several ways.

1- Create you Menustrip, dock it to the left, make the text of each button vertical.
2- Make all your controls and put them in small sizes on the tabpage, you'll resize them later.
3- Set all controls Visible = false
3- Now, if it will be only one control at a time, handle the click event of each menu button, and on each button make all controls Visible = false, and Dock = None, except the one you want to show => Visible = true, and Dock = fill;
4- If it will be more than one control, put them all in a panel, or a group box, and handle the group box or panel just as in step 3.
5- Don't forget to initialize your tabpage with the first control you wish to view

This was just one way. Improvise!! Smile | :)

What do you mean excactly with 'like ICQ'?

Maybe you can use the msn API, or skype beta API? I don't really know if ICQ has an API too, maybe it has? Try a search on google...

Succes

Hello

You will have to use windows API to do this. The function is

::SetWindowPos(m_hWnd ,       // handle to window
                HWND_TOPMOST,  // placement-order handle
                rect.left,     // horizontal position
                rect.top,      // vertical position
                rect.Width(),  // width
                rect.Height(), // height
                SWP_SHOWWINDOW // window-positioning options);

Hello

The problem is in your culture. What culture do you use in your program - if any-, and what culture is installed on the machine?

DD/MM/YYYY can be transfered by error to -> MM/DD/YYYY

The problem is that you don't use the date format that the database expects, so it interprets the date wrong. It's not stored with the wrong format (as a date field doesn't have a format) but as the wrong date. If you try 13/08/2006 you will get an error message, as there is no 13th month.

Use parameterized queries, then you don't have to bother about the format of the date.

Hi,
Your problem is the DateTime format that the database requires. The Access database uses the Culture as it's set in the Regional Options. If you want to force your application to use a certain culture use something like:

<br />
Application.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");<br />

An easier way is to extract the Month,Day,Year and create the string in the way that the database expects.

<br />
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;<br />
string s = String.Format("{0}/{1}/{2}",now.Day,now.Month,now.Year);<br />

Hello

I don't know what you mean by themes, but if you mean windows themes, they automatically changes how your forms look not just radiobuttons. If you mean you wnat to change it by yourself handle the paint event and draw whateve you want accodring to the checked status using e.Graphics.

Hi all,
I have designed a custom message box using form,label and Ok,cancel buttons. here i have a problem like the user may want to display a message with multiple lines. I set the label autosize=false, form's borderstyle=FixedDialog. so it is displaying at the maximum of 2 lines rest of text being hidden in the label. how can i automatically resize the form for the Labeltextwidth. (as like as normal windows messagebox)

Thanks

Word Doc Link [modified]

I'm sure this is quite possibly the world's most stupid question but it's driving me crazy!

I have a form with a link that I want to open up a word document.
The link is simply... <a href="file:///C:\test.doc">Click</a>

The problem is, when I type this into an html page of the simplest kind <html><body> as above </body.. etc etc it does just what is says on the tin and opens the word doc.

However, when I add it as link in VStudio with the same details it just looks at me blankly when I click it. I even tried typing it out as text and adding it as a label, same thing, it just stares at me, and I swear it's grinning evily! Frown | :(

What is the aspx page doing that stops it working and how can I make it perform my bidding?

Any answers gratefully received as this is driving me crazy.

Thanks
Pete

Hey Pete

Did you tried adding a @ before te string "file:///C:\test.doc"?

C# treads \ as special characters, to ignore them, you should add a @.

I hope this works.

Good luck

Still does the same thing I'm afraid

I did notice that when I click the link it says "Downloading from site: http://localhost, etc etc" in the bar at the bottom of the page for about 3-4 seconds and then just shows the page with the lonely little link on it.
I wondered if it might be due to running it from VStudio but it does exactly the same thing (ie nothing) in the deployed Web Part I need it for as well.

Hi I want to find a row in datagrid in order to special value.
It means I want to select a row that it's first column equal to some value.
Now the question is this :
Is there any fast code to do this?
I want this, but it's slow:

<br />
DataSet ds = new DataSet();<br />
ds = (DataSet)myDataGrid.DataSource;<br />
for (int i=0;i<ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count;i++)<br />
{<br />
 if (ds.Tables[0].Rows[i][0].ToString() == '19001')<br />
 {<br />
  myDataGrid.Select(i);<br />
  break;<br />
 }<br />
}<br />

Please help if you can.
Tank you.

try this it may help you

ds.Tables[0].Columns[0].Contains("string");
or

ds.Tables[0].Columns.Contains("string");

but for this you may need to create a primary key.
