Hey, gang. I've run into a little problem that I'm hoping someone has tackled before. I'm also hoping this behavior isn't by design! I haven't been able to turn up any relevant information through Google.
When I place a DataGridView in a GroupBox, the font size and color that I am using for that GB's title text overrides that specified in the DGV's various cell/header/row font properties. Even when I change the DGV's font back to my desired settings in the designer, it still takes on those of the GB at runtime, and I get a rather unpleasant looking table.
Is there any way to prevent this behavior? Can anybody tell me why this only seems to happen with the DGV? Thanks for any help you can give me. I appreciate the assistance.

PS - I really hope this doesn't violate the spirit of the no cross posts rule. I asked this in the .Net Framework board quite awhile ago, but had no takers. That board doesn't seem nearly as active as this one, and I am using C++/CLI for this project, at least. .... Please don't hurt me, Mike.

Hi, I'm using Visual Studio 2005 C++/CLI. I have a Paint() function in my Form1 that has code to paint the screen in a block nested in an if statement.
System::Void Form1_Paint(System::Object^ sender, System::Windows::Forms::PaintEventArgs^ e)
{
if(myObject)
{
code to display screen
}
}
This works fine when the constructor for myObject is called and an OpenFileDialog is used to read a file that can finish building the object. Since the Paint() function is called continuously, the code to display the screen is not executed when myObject is undefined, but when myObject is finished being instantiated then the display code executes. My problem is when I select "Cancel" in the OpenFileDialog I can stop building the myObject but the constructor completes (thus becoming NOT undefined) and the code to display the screen executes and tries to paint a bunch of undefined stuff and bombs the app. I've tried using a variable myObject->bValid in the above if statement but then the app bombs because the object reference was not set to an instance of an object. Is there a way to suspend the Paint() function so that I can do all of my preliminary stuff and then say "okay, start painting."?
Thanks
Buck

No. You need to write code in onpaint that handles every possible case ( such as using a 'ready to paint' flag )

Hi Buck,
I would suggest you give your myObject a property Paintable or Valid, and set that
appropriately in the constructor, and check it in your OnPaint.

Thanks, I must b have a flaw in my flow. I tried using a flag to no avail. I will try again.

Hi, I'm using Visual Studio 2005 C++/CLI. I have a data entry Form that has 50 TextBox controls. The Forms Designer gives these controls the names textBox1, textBox2,.....textBox50. When I check to make sure none of the fields are null I have to write code for each of the 50 controls. It would be nice if I could loop through textBox(n) controls. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks
Buck

I don't do any forms coding, but can you iterate through the control collection
for the form and look for TextBox controls? Something like:
for each (Control control in form->Controls)
{
if (nullptr != dynamic_cast<textbox>(control))
{
...
}
}

Ok, but wouldn't it be better if you didn't have 50 textbox controls that you had to loop through? Alternative User Interface designs could eliminate that and simultaneously offer a better experience for the user.

Hello,
I am trying to learn C++/CLI from a text. I have downloaded source code
from the books website. I then created an empty project (CLR Console App.).
Now I want to add some example source code from the book:
File 1. HelloWorld.cpp
//OK, This I was able to add as a source file to the project.
File 2. HelloWorld.obj
//How do I add this?
//Do I need to add this?
File 3.HelloWorld.exe.manifest
//How do I add this?
//Do I need to add this?
File 4. HelloWorld.exe
//How do I add this?
//Do I need to add this? shouldn't the .exe be created at runtime?
I would really appreciate some input about File 2, 3, 4 with the followig caveat-- If you want to respond w/ "read the MSDN documentation" or "is this a joke question?" (which I have received in the past) don't bother to respond.
I am programming as a hobby an dam grateful for any help...
thanks a lot

No, that file is produced by the compiler.

My suggestion, to anyone, would be to start with ANSI C and C++ before trying to learn C++/CLI.

I am using Visual c++ NET 2005 and using for my report CrystallReport.
I didn't yet seen an example for thatat C++ or C#. I try to translate VB example but I don't succed. When I display report, I have a screen asking to fill the value of parameters.
I need help, an example of how to fill programmatically parameters and load report in Visual c++ NET or C#

It's C++ with .NET extensions, so you can use the .NET framework, you can interact with C# and VB.NET, and your exe is compiled to MSIL instead of machine code.

And possibly most important, the code executes in a garbage collected environment which is why they call it "managed", yes?

You mean the idea that the concept of GC is desirable?

No, I mean it's undesirable in C++
