• .NET Development Set custom-drawed TreeNode bounds to cover the entire customdrawed text?

  Hi! I am currently converting my "main" free product Dreyve 2.0 from beta to non-beta (you will find the beta at http://www.chromecode.com/downloads/ ). There is a TreeView in which I draw custom text for the nodes, which means that the "size" of the Text property string is not the same as the size of rendered text. How can I set the bounds of a custom-drawn TreeNode, so its selectedbox covers only the text, and so that the node is clickable on the entire text (instead of just the TreeNode.Text text that would be rendered if I wouldn't render myself). Thanks for any tips! I was poiking a ...Show All

• Visual C# serialization manager does not have an active serialization session.

  I am not able to view the designer view of a screen. It gives me this error: "This method cannot be invoked because the serialization manager does not have an active serialization session." Please help. Thanks Check the stack trace of the error, and look to see if its being thrown in any of the code you wrote. The VS2005 designer executes some of the user code when the designer is opened, and often times people run into problems because the user code fails when it runs in the debugger. At least, thats what I've been told. You could use the DesignMode property to check if your form is being creat ...Show All

• Visual C# Progress Bar

  Well, I really dont know how a progress bar really works. Well what I want is to be connected to a button_click event. When I press a button, I want it to fill up then disappear. How would I do that One solution is to wireup the Click event of the ProgressBar. In the event handler check to see if the ProgressBar's value is equal to its Maximum, like this: public MyConstructor () {   pb = new ProgressBar();   pb.Click += new EventHandler(pb_Click); } void pb_Click ( object sender, EventArgs e) {   if (pb.Value == pb.Maximum)   {     pb.Visible = false ;   } }   You will of course hav ...Show All
