• Windows Forms Customizing tab order

  I have 40 textboxes on a form and I want to use alt&right to move through the first 20 textboxes only and then when tabindex 20 is reached it returns to tabindex 0, hopefully in a button event. I would prefer not to do seperate keydown, keypress and keyup events for each textbox. This is what I tried so far but it doesn't work, when it reaches tabindex 20 it goes to tabindex 21. private void Form_KeyPress( object sender, KeyPr ...Show All

Any help is appreciated. ...Show All

Hi Geng, The ability to call COM components directly from managed code (C# and VB.NET) was added in NETCF V2.0 NETCF V2.0 is not supported on PPC 2002.

• Visual FoxPro Enhancement Request: Ability to pass cursors as parameters

  The ability to pass a cursor to a method of an object belonging to another data session would be a great addition for a future versions of VFP. Today, we have to resort to arrays, which is kind of a kludge, or CursorToXML/XMLToCursor, which is way too slow for large data sets. If cursor could be passed between data sessions, n-tier apps would benefit greatly. Any thoughts Eyvind.   Craig Berntson wrote: ...Show All
