Apologies if this has been done before, but my searching of the forums didn't yield any results.
I want to know what your preferred tool is for unit testing your WinForm UIs? (not the logic behind the interface, but the controls themselves)
I've looked at Fitnesse briefly, but there's not going to be any quick or simple way to set up a web server on my current client site.
Our team already uses NUnitForms, but I'm wondering if there's any viable alternative.
Thanks in advance. Look forward to seeing peoples' responses.
Regards
Ashley

I used to use our own tool which is extended from NUnit. We added two features such as Macro recording/playback and image comparison to our tool. it's very useful for UI Testing. The point here is that it's not easy to find the best tool which is met with your requirement. (Everyone has its own requirement and needs.) So, it is better if you add some customizations to the existing opensource testing tools to meet with your requirement.

how can i start a form maximized ?
-- modified at 23:58 Tuesday 7th August, 2007
|
|
|
|
|
set the window state property on the form to maximized.
www.codewash.com
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to set the form to maximized at design time do it in onLoad event:
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

|
|
|
also if you want to force the form to remain in maximized state then write its resize event and do the following
if not designmode then
me.windowstate = formwindowstate.maximized
endif

[Pitfall] if you do this (in form load you write windowstate = maximized) and then inherit a from from this form it'll create troubles. so first check if it is in designmode
if not Me.DesignMode then
me.windowstate = Maximized
End if

My WinForm application looks small on higher dpi. I want to give option to
the user or it should automatically get resized to look same as it was
designed (or bigger on higher dpi and smaller on lower dpi) on different dpi.
Kindly point me or let me know how to achieve this.

how to set various mouse event on a tray icon in Win32 pprogramming??
thanx.

Well, it depends what Systray icon control you are using. Browse the events that the control will raise to see how to handle the different mouse events.

Hello All,
I have a requirement in which I need to display a datagridview with 3 columns and few rows. In my first column few rows will have exact same data which I want to show as a single cell (something like merging in Excel). The rows of the other columns remain the same. Can anyone guide me how to do this? This is kind of urgent and an open issue in my application.
Thanks in adavnce for your help.

Hi Guys and Gals. I urgently need information on how to use the Vertical Scroll bar in Windows forms. If any of you would be able to point me to a project that might contain the code I need it will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Elizma

It may solve your problem to look at the "AutoScroll" property of the form. If you are wanting to insert a Vertical scroll on your own, you will need to write all of the paint code associated with it.
Cheers!
Richard
may your code be error free

I may be asking this question in the wrong forum.
I have created an Outlook Addin using VSTO 2005. I created a simple winform and added it to my project. The winform is just to collect 3 parameers from the user. When I execute the addin in debug, it works. When I build it and deploy it using the setup project the button that create is added to the tool bar but when clicked it does not disply my winform screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Try setting caspol on the machine you install to so your VSTO dlls have full trust permission. If they don't that will prevent them running. This is automatically set on development machines. VSTO by default suppresses error messages (though there is a setting you can type at the command line to change that - you'll have to google it, something like VSTOSUPPRESSERRORS = false, though that's wrong) so it's hard to tell what's going on - you can always put try{}catches{} around your code then display a message box or log to the event log, but often if something just doesn't happen it is a caspol issue due to the security model of the VSTO architecture. If you have any further questions please ask away.
Regards,
Toby

Hi Toby,
At first I had several security problems but I was able to resolve them by adding some custom installer actions to set the user's pc security policy as directed by these two articles on msdn.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332051.aspx[^]
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332052.aspx[^]
Then when I added the following line of code.
parmFormResult = exportParameterForm.ShowDialog();
At that point in time it will not execute my new code. The exportParmaeterForm object is a winform object not an outlook form. When I comment out the line of code the addin will execute on the user's PC.
Does and addin have the capability to call a winform object?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
I certainly show Winforms modally using .ShowDialog() from VSTO addins, but I haven't done it from Outlook - only Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Also I'm using VSTO v3 and Office 2007; I'm not sure what version you're using, but VSTO can be quite different between releases. What's happening when you run it in debug and put a breakpoint there? You really need to know what the exception being thrown is so try to trap the error so you can read it.
Cheers,
Toby

Toby,
I am using the defualt install that comes with Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition. Also, I am using Outlook 2003.
When I do help | about this is what is displayed:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
Installed Edition: Enterprise
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System
------------------------------------
How else can I find the exact version of VSTO?
When I run the addin in debug mode it does work. I am going to put more try/catches in to capture the error. Thanks for your help and advice.

Patrick,
From that list I would say you don't have the VSTO SE (v3) installed as it tells you it is VSTO SE. The project types change with each release, as do the capabilities. I am currently using purely VSTO v3 with Office 2007 so my experience with it will differ from your's. I do, however, remember using VSTO 2005 (the 2nd release) with Word 2003 when VS2005 was first released and don't think I had any trouble with Windows Forms then either... Outlook is different from Word in many regards though. I suggest you try the MSDN VSTO Forums, you'll usually find you receive answers there, generally from MVPs, quite quickly. Try http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=16&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=0[^]

Toby,
The problem was that I was not granting full trust to my logging dll used to write a text log file. I had given the primary addin assembly full trust but my setup project did not grant full trust to the logging assembly. So the setup utility was changed to grant full trust to all assemblies that reside in it. This is an acceptable solution as long as the assembly is used with in my company. If I was working for a company that sold software, it would be best to grant the individual assemblies full trust since I would loose control of what is placed in the application folder.
A nice support person from MS Support showed me why it was not working.
Thanks for all your help and taking the time to reply to my post.

This is not supported by Windows. It has nothing to do with the .NET Framework.
You cannot have a window be both an MDI Parent and an MDI Child at the same time.

how to create a tray icon for adialog box??? what is the function to be used for this???
|
|

Hi,
there is a NotifyIcon class; you can create an instance, give it some Icon,
and make it Visible; probably you want to set a ContextMenu too.
I did all of this in my TrayIconBuster article.
