• Windows Forms Disabling Buttons until Event has finished/finalised.

  Hi all, I have a Button on a Form that populates a ListView with different ListView Items each time the Button is pressed. Currently, it may take some milliseconds (noticable) for the ListView to populate, and yet the user is still able to press the Button rapidly, so that the ListView Populates/gets scraped/populates/get scraped/populates etc - which I don't want. Is there a way I can press the button, then cancel the functionaly (not allow the button to be pressed) of the button, do the processing, when the processing has finished, then enable the button to be pressed again I have tried enabling and disabling the button within the Button ...Show All

• Visual Studio WarnedOldMSSCCIProvider

  Still working on a MSSCCI plugin.  Have currently been using the decrementing WarnedOldMSSCCIProvider registry value while developing.  How do I set everything when I release the final version   From what I understand, I don't need a license key, since I have a plugin rather than a VSPackage.  But I also don't want my users to time out after having opened VS .Net 500 times. Thanks, JD Hi JD, It seems to me your source control provider doesn't implement yet the S CC_CAP_REENTRANT capability. You need to implement this capability and return this flag from SccInitialize() ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Formless Application?

  Is there anyway to create an application that (when created) doesn't have a form For example, I would like to create an application that has an icon in the notification bar and have it so that when I double click it a settings form is created. I would prefer not to have the form exist all along and just have it invisible because to my understanding that uses more memory then creating it on demand and the goal of this application is to make it as unobtrusive as possible. Thanks in Advance, Nick Dancer. I'm not sure what this application will be doing but what you're describing sounds like a Wind ...Show All

• Windows Forms Disappearing tooltip on DataRow.RowError icon

  In one of my last assignments i'm taking input from an editable datagrid. I validate the input with custom functions and then set the DataRow.RowError propety to make the datagrid display errorprovider icons on the headers of invalid rows. Now the problem is that the tooltip doesn't show anymore after the grid or form lost focus (at least i think it's that). I'm working in an MDI form application and using VS2003. I noticed that the tooltip appears again when i make a new window in the MDI and then go back to the window with the datagrid. Can anyone help me in this mater, or having the same experiance ...Show All

• .NET Development File System Watcher and Async Delegates

  Hello, I built the FileSystemWatcher Windows Service walk through I found in the appropriate MSDN Article (ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.2005APR.1033/dnmag01/html/NetServ.htm). It worked fine. I then adapted it for another purpose. That, of course, is where the problem started. In the fsw_changed event handler, I included the following code: try { tfh = new TradeFileHandler(); dlgt = new tfhDelegate(tfh.GetTradeFile); ar = dlgt.BeginInvoke( e.Name, fsw.Path, "SecDB",null,null); } catch (SystemException ex) { EventLog.WriteEntry( String.Format("TradeFeed Exc ...Show All
