inherited menu problem

I just converted from visual studio 2003 to visual studio 2005. The project I am working on has several forms that are inherited from each other, each form added some additional items to the menu of its base form. This worked fine before with vs 2003, but now when editing an inherited form's menu I get a message box that says "Cannot add a new item to this menu because it is inherited." The menu is declared as protected. Can anyone explain what is going on?

Thanks

TreeView node

I have a 2 levels of treeview. How do I highlight the child node (2nd level), instead of the parent node, so that the user would know which child node has been selected?

Call EnsureVisible on the node, then set the tree's SelectedNode property to that node.

Page printing and printable area

I've have an annoying iss when trying to print a page in Windows form.

printDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;

This sets the page to landscape no problem, but when I try to get the PrintableArea it is still in Portrait mode (800x1100) rather than Landscape (1100x800). I've worked around this, but it is annoying, I would expect the PrintableArea to update appropriately.

Does anyone have an explaination or a way to get the settings properly? Did I miss something?

Hello
Well, we don't have your entire code to look at, but why don't you try using the PrintPageEventArgs.MarginBounds Property instead?

NB.
If you try to change the Landscape property inside the PrintPage event it won't work!!! I geuss you already know that.

MarginBounds is different from PrintableArea, but thanks for the response. It also has nothing to do with the code but here you go

<br />
private void OnPrint(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
    printDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void OnPrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
  e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Red), e.PageBounds);<br />
  e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Yellow), e.MarginBounds);<br />
  e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Black), e.PageSettings.PrintableArea);<br />
}

The last is what annoys me, I would expect it to in landscape by it is still in portrait.

Hello
I can see now your problem. I know that printablearea is not updated, that's why I purposed using MarginBounds instead.

Well, if you insist, try inverting them -ie using height as width and vice versa-, but I think this would be a very poor programming practice

a quote from MSDN remarks on PrintableArea:
"The PrintableArea property returns the correct value, whether the page orientation is landscape or portrait."

Do they mean it's changed when you change the Landscape property, or it doesn't matter?? I made a sample and changed the landscape property, but it was the same D'Oh! | :doh:

I even changed the PaperSize, yet no hope.

Well, I hope this was -somehow- helpful

As a followup to my previous post here[^], I tried to google to find definitions of how to define the string to pass within a .ToString() call, but all I was able to find was a swath of forum questions like my previous one, and a few answers, but no concise list.
What I'm looking for is a list of what can go into the .ToString() function and what the funcitonality of each character is. Can anyone give me a point in the right direction?

.ToString() comes from a base class. All object that you created, will derive this .ToString(). That means each class has its own .ToString(). Which .ToString() do you mean ?

Loading embedded cursor through ResourceManager

jjansen27-Jun-06 2:55

jjansen

27-Jun-06 2:55

I'm able to retrieve embedded resources like Bitmaps and Strings using the properties that Visual Studio 2005 adds to Resources.Designer.cs (or using the ResourceManager in that same file). But for some reason I have not succeeded in doing the same with a Cursor. Visual Studio only accepts a cursor as a file, thus giving me a byte array instead of a Cursor object.

Of course I can do it the "old-fashioned" way, like this:

System.Reflection.Assembly MyAssembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();<br />
Cursor MyCursor = new Cursor(MyAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("MyProject.MyCursor.cur"));

But still, I would prefer it I could treat cursor the same other resource types.

Am I missing something or is this simply an ommision on the part the Visual Studio crew?

Speaking of cursors, why does C# only seems to support monochrome cursors?

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
