• Windows Forms get IWin32Window of form executed some code without having the instance of the form

  Hi! I created a generic dialog box to show some messages. To make the process of calling and displaying it more simple I don't want to explicitly provide the owner of the dialog but I want the dialog to determine it. I think that this is done by default when using the MessageBox of .NET framework, when you call an overload which does not require the owner. So I want to simulate this behaviour.

• Windows Forms DataGridView GetFirstRow() problems

  Hi all I'm using the GetFirstRow(DataGridViewElementStates::Displayed) function to work out which the first row displayed on the list at the current time. There are two problems with this though. First is that the docs say that it is meant to be for internal use of the framework rather than being used by plebs like myself. The second problem is that if the DataGridView isn't actually visible, the function returns -1. Not surprising I gu ...Show All
