• Visual Basic Load Event

  I'm trying to dynamically access the forms controls.  I want to step through each control, and enable/disable them based on security settings.  But I can't do this in the load or paint event, as the control structure for the form is not available (using me.controls). Does anyone know how I could get my sub with this code to run after the form loads Thanks This works great on a standard form.  But ...Show All

Selecting any other hierarchy node shows '[Project_name] Properties'. I've noticed this also with the VSSDK samples (e.g. BscPrj or IronPython projects). C# always shows '[Project_name] Properties' regardless of the hierarchy selection. So the questi ...Show All
