It's not a question of how, but why. IMO, it would be a horrendous UI.

I think he means, "flash the title bar", ala Windows Messenger, not "a form that blinks on and off".

I think you if you want the same effect as Windows Messanger does to a minimized chat window, you need to call FlashWindow/FlashWindowEx APIs through the P/Invoke to flash it in system defined colors.

I expect that's what form.Activate() does.

1) Find out where your right bottom is
2) Set the correct properties on the form

Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width; 
Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height;

Enjoy

My right bottom is directly beside my left bottom, on the seat of the chair.

In this context, your right bottom is the wrong bottom - but I'm not gonna be an ass over it Smile | :)

Hi,

you would need Form.StartPosition and Form.Location and SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize and a simple math expression.

here's thr answer:

Screen currentScreen = Screen.FromRectangle(this.RectangleToScreen(ClientRectangle));            this.Location = new Point(currentScreen.Bounds.Right - this.Width, currentScreen.Bounds.Height - this.Height);

Hi,

Can any1 please tell me how to align and format the data appearing in the rtb. I am basically displaying rows in the rtb. Is there any way where in I can have column headers and boundaries like cells in the RTB.

Please suggest...

Thanks

Luc Pattyn8-Aug-09 5:42

Hi,

AFAIK you can have a real table in RTF files and RTB controls.
"All" it takes is this:
- create a table in Word
- save as RTF file
- look at its content, and put something similar into the RichTextBox.Rtf property.

I'm not pretending editing a table through an RTB would be easy!

Hi,

do u mean to say, I create a Table structure with column headers pertaining to the rows in rtf and save it on the desktop. And then use the rtb.rtf property ?

But how do I set the rtb.rtf property to the correct path of the rtf file stored in the desktop./?

Luc Pattyn8-Aug-09 6:24

8-Aug-09 6:24

No. I didn't say desktop, nor path.

All I said is test with Word->RTF file->RTF property.
Use some dumb editor (NotePad) to get the RTF file content and assign it to RTB.Rtf property.
Look at the RTF code, modify it as needed.

and you'll get a nice table, 4 rows, 5 columns, with headers and everything.

To make something useful, one probably has to come up with some classes that emit such RTF strings first.
