Sorry if this has been answered, but I couldn't find it.
I'm in VS2005 but using win7 as my os. There are problems resizing forms (strange flickers) and the new win7 "tricks" (for instance, dragging the window off the top to maximize) don't work. Do I need to recompile with VS2008 or is there another solution?
Thanks

Works for me just fine on Win7 Ultimate

OK, thanks, I see that a simple form does work OK. So I have done something to my form that stops it from working. Any ideas?
Thanks again

Lots of code in the Form.Resize handler?

Nice guess, but no -- I don't even have the handler instantiated.
I tested the obvious stuff -- autoscalemode, autosize, etc, but it's not those either that I can tell.

OK, it's just the strange flashing that is what I think is a bug that only happens in Win7. Can anyone replicate this?
Add a horizontal splitcontainer to a form. Then run the program and resize the form from the lower right corner of the form. The form will flash larger then move back to it's correct size.
Thanks

Have you played with the control property DoubleBuffered? does that make a difference? Also there are BeginUpdate and EndUpdate methods that can be used when populating controls to prevent/reduce flicker.

It's not really flicker, it's erroneous drawing of the form on resize. You can see what I mean here:

Althouh it doesn't look like it on the video, the mouse that is dragging is actually in the corner of of the form
As the form resizes it snsps big, then snaps back to normal size.
The form has only a full-docked splitcontainer on it.
Only happens in win7.

Is there a best way to report this issue to Microsoft? I simply cannot make it stop and it occurs on a form with only one control and no code.
Thank you.

Just for clarity, are you trying to open an existing document, or are you trying to create and open a new document?
If you need to open an existing document, which you have not created yourself earlier on in your application, and the user can save the document anywhere on his computer, the best way is to use an OpenFileDialog.
If you created the document yourself earlier on in your application, just store it to a shorter path to begin with. In that case you could just use xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("log.xls")
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

My program will do everything on its own
it will open the file log.xls from the template folder add data to it and then save the file to the log folder
by just putting the file name and no path it ends up in my documents i want it to be in the same folder as my program i added the folder in the solution exploer
Thanks

The folder where your application is running can be obtained over the Application class, it holds an ExecutablePath[^]-property.
You can use Path.Combine[^] if you want to refer to a subfolder thereof.

Okay, then use Directory.GetCurrentDirectory to get the path of your application.
This will get the path of the application, even if the user would have installed it elsewhere then the default directory.

WRONG! GetCurrentDirectoty cannot be trusted to return the same path as the executable every time! Try launching an OpenFileDialog and navigating around with it, then see what GetCurrentDirectory returns.

You are ofcourse right, I actually didn't think of that until after your reply.

if you create a desktop shortcut, you can choose the initial "current directory"; when you double-click it, the EXE gets launched with the chosen curdir, so it is totally unrelated to the exe path.

Hello to All,
Dim chArray As Char()
ChArray = a_string.ToCharArray
DirectCast((chArray((i - 1) + "`"c)), Char)
DirectCast((chArray((i - 1) - "`"c)), Char) // Error in the line
If you can think then I Can.

Is there a question here?
You say 'Error in the line'. What error?

Does this even compile ? It sure doesn't look to me like it should. As the other bloke said, you've given us next to no info, I'm sure the error is in plain English and means what it says, but if you don't tell us the error, we can't really explain it to you.

Error is Operator '-' is not defined for types 'Char' and 'Char'.
If you can think then I Can.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, well you're trying to do math with characters. That's not exactly a defined operation.
What are you trying to achieve with this code?
|
|
|
|
|
But Sir,
- Operator is working fine for Strings.
If you can think then I Can.

So what?? Just because it works doesn't mean it's a good idea to use it. VB.NET does a lot of implied conversions if a type does normally work. In this example:
Dim x As String = "100"
Dim y As String = "40"
Debug.WriteLine(x - y)
results in 60 being output to the Output pane in Visual Studio. Why? Because both strings were automatically converted to Integers before the subtraction operator was applied.
There is no implied conversion for your '-' character because it doesn't translate to a number.

But sir it not works for Char.
