What happened when you set the SplitContainer to Dock.Fill? Docking is also controlled by the z-order of the controls, so you may need to send things to the back a few times to get it layered correctly.

Hi,
I am having an issue with labels where on a long label, with a small font size, words towards the end of the label are getting a more compact spacing between letters as compared to words at the start of the label.
Issue can be avoided with larger font sizes, but this isn't an appropriate work around.
I've chucked up a screenshot:

Thanks in advance

Use the AutoEllipsis property of the lable.. set it to true.

Hello
I am trying to use escape characters to display messages back to a scrollable TextBox in a windows forms application. Here is a code snippet:
Message.Text = "This Project containts a total of " + TotalDocs.ToString() + " documents.\r" +
TempPrintDocsCount.ToString() + " Documents have been copied to: c:\\Temp\\TempPrintDocs\\Projects.\r" +
UpdatedDocsCount.ToString() + " Documents have been updated.";
I have set "AcceptsTab" & "AcceptsReturn" to True for the TextBox. The only escape character that seems to work is the tab \t but none of the line feed or carriage return work?? Is this some bug with the TextBox in Windows Forms? Does anyone have a solution to this? Any help would be much appreciated! 
Thanks!

AFAIK:
1. a TextBox reacts to Environment.NewLine which on Windows typically equals "\r\n".
2. AcceptsTab and AcceptsReturn (and many others) influence the reaction to keyboard
input, not text assignment.

Thank you very much!

Figured it out, being a newbie, made the mistake of doing \n\r when it should have been \r\n!

The font object is used to set a font programmatically, but how do I change the font type or size in response to a button click event?
How does one populate a list box with the fonts a user has on his cpu?
Thanks,

hi
1. myLabel.Font=new Font("Arial", 12);
2. InstalledFontCollection Class will give the names, which you then add to myListBox.Items

Thanks Luc, but I want the parameters to be variables as other controls are changing the name, size and type.
MyLabel1.Font = (Font)fc.ConvertFrom(mystring);
This will change the name but I can't get the size to work.
I will look up the other class.

when I wrote new Font("Arial", 12) as an example, I assumed you understand
one can also provide variables rather than literal font names and font sizes...

Yes,
string mystring = "Tahoma";
string oldstring;
oldstring = label1.Font.Name.ToString();
float mysize =16;
label1.Font = new Font(mystring,mysize);
This works, I had been using int and not float.
I got the installed fonts working also.
Thanks again,
Boyd

Normally you would do this in the connection strings section in your config file. That's why its there.

hi!
i have 2 forms on my application and 1 called form1 and the another form2 and i want to close form1 by click Button on form2.
how can i do it?
thanks!:->

In VS 2005, Assuming that you have opened form2 like this:
Dim form2 As New Form2<br />
form2.Show()
Then you can close form 1 like this from form 2:
Form1.Close()
The only problem is that if you do that, Form 2 will close as well (since form 1 created the form 2 instance). So you would have to have another form or Main routine to control all the form open and closes.

Run your application on Vista. That'll do it.

Should one assume they developed Vista based on the characteristics of his machine
and the requirements of his app?

Only can be done by running Vista. If you want to have Vista-like forms in XP/2000, it cannot really be done.
