Windows Forms

Re: Drag and move a button anywhere on the form

19-Mar-10 2:01

Instead of cluttering up your form code, take a look at my article on Create your Own Runtime Movable Windows Forms Controls[^]. This will make your button much easier to code with and you don't have to worry about wiring up your events for every normal button you drop on the form. You also don't have to worry about if you're dropping the button on the form or in a panel or in any other container control.

Windows Forms control style on Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services

19-Mar-10 3:22

Not easy at all and you can't write it in managed code. This requires you to write, what is essentially, a debugger. It also requires you have a thorough knowledge of Windows internals and how processes really work.

No, I don't have any references for this stuff.

Is there a way to get Winforms apps to render like they do on Windows XP in Server 2008? I'm suprised to see they still render like they do on Win2003.

The difficult option of converting the apps to WPF is not a viable option.

Showing child menu instead of MDI Parent menu in vb.net

Hello,

I think this might be very silly question, However Can anybody tell me
How to show the Child menu when only child is opened.

The Scenario is

If i opened the MDIParent then only menu on MDIParent is visible but as soon as i opened any child form the respective forms menu will be used instead of MDIParent menu.
On closing child once again MDIParent menu is visible.

Regards,
Datta

The only way I can think of doing this, is by creating a local variable on your child forms, which exposes your parent form in the child. i.e. Private ParentForm as frmParent. You can pass this info through the constructor of your child form, and in the constructor set this variable like this

Public Sub New(ByVal Parent As frmParent)

    ' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
    InitializeComponent()
    myParent = Parent
    ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.

End Sub

Then in your FormLoad event you can set the menustripitems.visible on the parent to false. like this

myParent.MenuStrip1.Items(0).Visible = False
myParent.MenuStrip1.Items(1).Visible = False

Not forgetting to set visible to true in your FromClosing Event.
Hope this helps

Re: saving image to a folder

9-Mar-10 18:52

Might I humbly suggest that you have made a grave mistake in selecting CR as your reporting platform. If you have any choice in the matter I would suggest you do some research on the product and more importantly their support. It is abysmal.

Dev Express and Reporting Services have a better reputation and there are a few others that will be a better option than CR.

You would need to build your own, editable print preview does not make sense, what are you going to edit, it is REPORT data not interactive.

If you are storing the image directly to the database, convert to a Binary large Object and save it to an SQL table field of type varbinary, then just reverse the process when you're pulling it back out.

I know that there has the image type in the SQL SERVER,

you can store the picture as the image type to the SQL SERVER

That's going to be removed in future versions of SQL server.

Just be aware that can grossly inflate the size of your DB. I have typically used the 'store the image in the file system and then put the path to the image into the DB' method.

It's slightly more to manage and backup, but i think you will see that DB performance is better.
