I need help with the following problem:
In the constructor of my form I call Application.EnableVisualStyles() to enable the Windows XP visual styles in my form; however, when the Alignment property of a tab control is set to either Left or Right, the text on the tab still shows as horizontal; therefore, only part of the first character in the tab text is visible.

One of the known bugs in the Tab control. This can be fixed quite easily by inheriting from the tab control, then only override the functionality of drawing a tab that is left- or right-aligned.

Thanks Judah,
I verified in Microsoft's site and it is definitely a bug. Same problem occurs in Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2, so I guess I have no choice but to override drawing of Left/Right aligned.
Problem with overriding the painting of the control is that if it won't be able to paint the same control painted for users that have a fancy XPStyle applied set in their PC.
Regards,
Rudy.

With .NET 2, you can. There is a System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles namespace that allows you to draw themed controls, including tab controls. For .NET versions prior to 2.0, you can use one of the various wrappers around the UxTheme Win32 API (search CP for more info).

Hey everybody!
lets say I have a file with the following information:
string name: "StringName0" and its value is "Text0".
now, I want the user to enter more text but it will be saved under a different "StringName", but if I will try to serialize only the new text all I will have in my file is this:
"StringName1" and the value "Text1", without "StringName0" and "Text0", it will overwrite the old infomation, what I want to know if there is a way to add the new "StringName" while keeping the old one.
maybe I will explain my final goal and than maybe everything will be clearer.
I am trying to make a user list for my app, so a new user will enter his "Name", "UserName" and "Password".
and there will be a listbox that will contain all Names (so the users can choose themselves).
what I am trying to do is that when a new user will add himself, it will ADD the new info into the file without replacing the other users...
I am trying to work on this for a long time, and everytime I encounter new problems and I'm really close to give up, so PLEASE HELP ME!!! 
Thanks in advance!

my god! it works!  Thank You!
it really saves again, but I have one more question to understand how exatcly should I load the information.
lets say that I'm saving every time using the same "StringName" and only the value changes. and as I saw using the Append it does not overwrite even if it is using the same "StringName", I want to know if there is anyway to load all the values even though all of them has the same StringName of must I create StringName0 and its value, StringName1 and its value, etc.
Thanks Alot!!!

I'm not sure if you are getting the error message or if you are returning your resultset. Can you directly issue your SQL statement against the database and have it return results (note your use of single quote in your SQL statement)? If you cannot get results with the use of single quotes, which generally returns only CHAR, then try:
... where state = \"" + comboBox1.Text + "\""

Hi, I'm creating a control, I do painting on the form and it has 1 scroll bar control, no other controls on it. I have a keyDown/keyUp handler and they work just fine until I hit the arrow keys, then the scroll bar grabs the key focus and I can't get it back. How can I stop the scrollbar from getting the key focus, I don't want it to be able to grab the key focus at all.
Thanks!

One common way of handling this sort of issue is to subscribe to the Focus events (GotFocus, LostFocus). When the focus changes, detect whether the focus fits with your plan (using the Focused property, if needed). Then, adjust the focus back to where you want it.
Of course, you'll need to test things out. It may be that the auto-adjustement of focus has side effects that will take extra effort to work around.

Thanks, but it looks like neither the UserControl class nor the VScrollBar class has these events available.

The UserControl definitely has GotFocus and LostFocus. If you are looking only in the property editor of VS, you might not see them. But, the are available if you write the code yourself: userControl.GotFocus += new ....

I have several dataGridBoolColumn in my DataGrid. When i click inside a checkbox i want to know it's value.
First problem is that i first need to click on the checkbox in the datagrid to activate it. Then another click sets it to true then the final click put's it to false.
The three clicking option is not the biggest problem i can live with that but i need to fire an event when i change the value of a checkbox. I now have the CurrentCellChanged event but that seems a step to slow it only fires when i enter the checkbox and not when i'm clicking it on or off...
Is there an event that fires when i change to true or false ??
Hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance !

We can archieve it by
deriving the DataGridBoolColumn class and override the Edit method like
below:
protected override void Edit(CurrencyManager source, int rowNum, Rectangle bounds, bool readOnly, string instantText, bool cellIsVisible)
{
object obj = this.GetColumnValueAtRow(source,rowNum);
//check if the value is DBNull,if it is, according to the
default behavior set it to false
if ( !(obj is System.DBNull) )
{
this.SetColumnValueAtRow (source,rowNum,!(Boolean) obj);
}
else this.SetColumnValueAtRow(source,rowNum,false);
base.Edit(source,rowNum,bounds,readOnly, instantText, cellIsVisible);
}

Thanks Alomgir, for the reply
i tried what you said and method Edit is called when i click inside the checkbox. Value is then null (i guess). Another click set's it to true but Edit method is not called when i do this. Seems like the grid is in some kind of edit mode. Only when i leave the current checkbox and return then i can see it's value is true. But when set it to false then i can only know i did that when i leave and return the checkbox.
So Edit is not called everytime i click inside the checkboxes.
Perhaps i'm doing somethig wrong dunno ?
EDIT:
so what i really need is an event which is triggered on every value change inside a checkbox no matter how many times in a row i change them.
