• Windows Forms UITypeEditor Problems

  Sorry if this is the wrong group. I couldn't find anything that was closer.... I'm trying to create a UITypeEditor.  I really want to be able to create a drop down editor, the problem is that when I set GetEditStyle = UITypeEditorEditStyle.DropDown I don't get any drop down displayed so it never drops down my control. When I set it to modal and handle the EditValue function that my value doesn't cause the Form Designer to recognize a change has occured with a * beside it to save the changes, and clicking on the edit button again, doesn't have my changes. I've copied the sample from the help almost exactly and still no go. Here's how ...Show All

• Visual C++ Notification on Text change for Windows Control

  Hello, I have a question in SDK windows programming. I have a window control, implemented as an editable control for user to enter text. User can add text in the window control either by typing through keypad or copy/paste using mouse. I call GetWindowText() to read text from the control. I want to display a message while user is entering text or copying a value, if the text exceeds a certain length. I am aware that I can trap keyboard and mouse events to do this. But I would like to know if there is any way to get notified, when there is a change in text on a window control Your response is appreciated. Thanks. ksrks ...Show All

• Visual C# How do you change the Z-Order?

  Now I know how to send things to the front of back, that's easy, my question is how to set the level of an item to an actual value, say (topmost-1) or (background level +3). Any help would be great, Thanks! Rob. The z-order can only be set using BringToFront, SentToBack commands, or automictly when using the control.Controls.Add\Insert methods. To set insert order when using Dock for instance, you can use: this .Controls.SetChildIndex(control, 2); WHERE this is a container control. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Does BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat support custom pixel formats?

  I wrote a codec to load Dicom images, that have a native pixel format of 12 bit gray scale with 16bpp space for which I also defined a custom pixel format including implementing a converter. When I try to load one of the images with the BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat flag I get an System.NotSupportedException. How can I load the images without them being forced to be converted to another pixel format Is the DLL that your codec and format converter live in signed WPF will refuse to loat any extensible components from non-signed DLLs. ...Show All

• .NET Development Forcibly unload an interop assembly w/ blocked unmanaged thread?

  I have the situation where I think my 3rd-party unmanaged COM object, which has opened a critical system resource, is blocked on a thread or something. In C#, .NET 2.0, I call FinalReleaseComObject() on my object, which returns 0, and then set the varible to null. I tried forcing a garbage collection and it didn't work (I know, it's bad, but I'm trying everything). Watching it run via depends.exe, I see all my other 3rd-party COM DLLs unload but not the one in question. Another twist is that this is a .NET 2.0 user control hosted in IE6. For some reason, I thought that IEHost would have shutdown the appdomain and thus forcibly unloaded ...Show All
