Re: Form Resizing and Docked Controls farzadmf8-Sep-09 23:55 farzadmf 8-Sep-09 23:55  Yes, you are right; if you set the BackgroundColor and make the Form smaller, you notice no difference because there is only one solid color, BUT imagine a situation where you have a picture or something being displayed in the picture box, if you make the Form smaller and the picture box isn't resized accordingly, some parts of the image would not be visible. Re: Form Resizing and Docked Controls geali_dor9-Sep-09 19:46 geali_dor 9-Sep-09 19:46  Hey there, if you change the form's or any controll's size to smaller, i guess it won't repaint, but there is a possibility to tell the form/controll to do so: public ExampleForm() { this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.ControlStyles, true); } hope this helps! hack the planet Re: Form Resizing and Docked Controls farzadmf9-Sep-09 23:02 farzadmf 9-Sep-09 23:02  Thanks, I will try that and let you know. Show Notification sri_00998-Sep-09 1:12 sri_0099 8-Sep-09 1:12  Hello, How to show Message/Notification from windows service. When i use MsgBox("Hi") it is throwing below error -> Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application. Please Help. Thanks, Sh Re: Show Notification Richard MacCutchan8-Sep-09 5:31 Richard MacCutchan 8-Sep-09 5:31  Well the diagnostic information seems to have given you the answer. Showing a MessageBox, or any kind of Modal Dialog from a service is a bad idea as it means the service is stalled until someone answers the message. Most services are designed to post their messages to some form of log file unless they encounter a catastrophic error.

I have created my own message box (Form), for which i need to set either "ServiceNotification" or "DefaultDesktopOnly". I am not able to find, how to set those properties. Please help me. Thanks Re: Show Notification Richard MacCutchan9-Sep-09 3:19 Richard MacCutchan 9-Sep-09 3:19  Your custom MessageBox should inherit from System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox and will then have access to the standard properties and messages. This may help. Emergeny Message sri_00993-Sep-09 21:14 sri_0099 3-Sep-09 21:14  Hi, Any anybody help me how to send emegency message to all the systems connected in network. (rather then "net send" command). My idea is : When a user clicks a special key, windows application(t + # or ...) sends a file to server(crates a XML file).Other systems will keep watch the server file, if file exist then read the file and show the message. Is this a good practice? If any any other ideas please help. Thanks, Sh Re: Emergeny Message Richard MacCutchan4-Sep-09 0:35 Richard MacCutchan 4-Sep-09 0:35  I don't think this is a Windows Forms issue, see http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3137519/Forum-Guidelines-PLEASE-READ.aspx[^] Re: Emergeny Message sri_00994-Sep-09 0:39 sri_0099 4-Sep-09 0:39  Richard, I want solution or logic to send emegency message from one system to other using windows application. Thanks, Sh Re: Emergeny Message Richard MacCutchan4-Sep-09 0:46 Richard MacCutchan 4-Sep-09 0:46  Your problem concerns how to send messages between networked computers. This has nothing to do with Windows Forms specifically. You may implement your solution within a Windows Forms application, but that is not the question you are asking. Best Commercial DataGrid that has Filtering? MisterT993-Sep-09 8:41 MisterT99 3-Sep-09 8:41  Hello, I have tried PureComponents and DevExpress. The PureComponents has an excellent filtering feature, but I ran into some bugs, like horizontal scrolling stopped working. The DevExpress is excellent and is reasonably priced.

I am developing a database-oriented windows application in a certain stand alone machine and would like to deploy it in another machine that is also a stand alone computer. Do I have to copy the entire database in the second machine (I would think "YES" because of the database dependancy) or is this brought forward from the dlls that I would be copying by way of OneClickDeployment? Also, is this any different in ASP apps?

Problem in opening link in Win Forms Ganapatisb28-Aug-09 3:58 Ganapatisb 28-Aug-09 3:58  Hi.. I have one link(URL) in my win form. When i click on that one window(in 1 tab) will open in IE7. But when i click on same link on win form instead of showing same form which is opened previously it opens in different tab of browser. It continues as per the number of clicks. How to avoid this problem? Here i have used System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(["Link"]) in win form link. Please help me in regarding this.. Thank you.. Re: Problem in opening link in Win Forms Luc Pattyn28-Aug-09 4:12 Luc Pattyn 28-Aug-09 4:12  I expect it will behave according to your settings inside your default browser. If you browse to a page, then click a link and click it again, does that cause two new tabs to open up?

Sort Icon in Grid View(Windows Forms) Ganapatisb28-Aug-09 3:44 Ganapatisb 28-Aug-09 3:44  Hi.. How to display sort Icon in each column of Data Grid View in Windows Forms(Windows Application)? I have set Sort property to automatic. But how to display sort icon when form loads or grid loads? Please mention C# code to solve this.. help me in this.. Thank you.. Re: Sort Icon in Grid View(Windows Forms) Henry Minute29-Aug-09 8:22 Henry Minute 29-Aug-09 8:22  AFAIK the SortIcon (I assume that you mean the little triangle thingy) only appears on columns that are sorted. If you want it to appear for all columns you will have to Sort the DataGridView in the Form_Load event handler and sort it on all columns. The problem is the built in Sort routines only cater for sorting on one column. Henry Minute Do not read medical books!

The government is lying to us all.” Changing form controlls at runtime Gilliann27-Aug-09 15:44 Gilliann 27-Aug-09 15:44  I've tried googling this although I'm not exactly sure how to ask google what I'm trying to do, heh. I have a databound form that displays 2 different types of business objects (they inherit from the same base class). I would like the form controls to change depending on the type of object the form is displaying. I suppose I can redesign the form at runtime depending on which object I'm displaying although something tells me this might not be the most efficient way to do this. If there is some major concept I'm missing here please point me in the right direction, I can probably figure it out from there. I've only been working with C#/.net for 6 weeks so there are surely plenty of things I don't yet know.
